LOST GOLD & DIAMOND RING FOUND & RETURNED AT HUNTINGTON BEACH

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

I got a text Sunday morning from Bill who told me he lost his gold and diamond wedding ring in the ocean on Saturday afternoon at Huntington Beach . I called him right away to get the details. He was visiting from New Jersey he was in the ocean with his wife about waist deep, when a wave knocked her off balance when she grabbed for his hand to avoid falling, his ring slipped off his finger and into the surf, another wave came along and covered up the ring which prevented him from retrieving it. After the whole family searched for the ring with no luck. He texted me. We arranged to meet at 6 am on Monday morning at low tide, with the best chances of finding the ring. I got up at 3 am, so I could get ready and leave early to beat the morning rush hour traffic. I arrived before 5 am. It was still dark out, but I walked onto the beach to the spot Bill had described and began my grid search. I hunted for almost 2 hours with no luck. I walked back to my car to grab my phone and touched base with Bill. He was only 20 minutes away, I waited in the parking lot till he arrived, when Bill and his wife met me in the parking lot, we walked out to the beach together, so they could narrow down the location of the loss. In less than 25 minutes, I got a good signal and dug 3 scoops and there was Bill’s sparkly gold ring. They were ecstatic to have the ring back with lots of emotion and hugs. They never thought they would see his ring again, but they entrusted me with the task. I was happy to come through for them. They were such incredibly nice people. I was happy to be able to reunite them with their sentimental wedding ring. They were so nice, they took me for a delicious breakfast before my long drive home.

Gold wedding ring found with metal detector at First Machias Lake in Unorganized Township – 36, Washington County, Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Angel who had lost this 14 karat gold wedding band that had belonged to her late mother, while giving her dog a quick rinse in First Machias Lake at the end of her camping trip in unorganized Township – 36 . Normally this would be a 6 hour round trip, but luckily I happened to be spending the weekend at my in-laws camp in Pembroke about an hour and half away although 9 miles of the journey was to be on dirt logging roads. Racing the sunset, I travelled to the campsite and located the ring fairly quickly.

Lost Gold Necklace, Honeymoon Island State Park, Fl….Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

“It’s only lost until I find it!”

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Nico and some friends were at Honeymoon Island State Park at sunset when he realized that his necklace had come off in the rough water. The necklace was a 14k gold chain given to him by his father to wear. Nico and his friend Tyler searched by sight in the water before it got too dark to see and then by feel after dark but were unable to find the necklace.

Nico googled “lost and found Honeymoon Island” and found my Dunedin Ring Finder page. He texted me the next morning to tell me what had happened and asked if I could help him find the necklace. Nico said that he and his friends had to return to Orlando that morning but that he had time to meet me at the loss location if I could. I told Nico how important it was to have him point out the exact location to me on site and also to begin the search as quickly as possible before another metal detectorist might find it. Nico and Tyler met me at the loss location and Nico said that he was swimming in about waist deep water when he felt the necklace come off of his neck. Thankfully the current tide time was about the same as at the time of loss. I placed my detecting bag on the beach as a marker and waded out to begin the search while Nico and Tyler grabbed some food to go from the nearby cafe. I searched for perhaps 30 minutes with just a few rusty coins and a piece of a throw net to show for my efforts. Nico and Tyler returned, I waded out of the water to meet them and then asked Nico to point out to me one more time where he was when he lost the necklace. He moved perhaps 50 feet further north and pointed out to a where a family was in about waist deep water. I moved my marker bag north to that location, wished Nico and Tyler a safe return to Orlando with the promise that if I found the necklace, it would be returned. I searched for about two more hours, working my way closer to shore with very few targets and none near the sand surface where the necklace should have been. At that point, I finally moved my coil over a surface target and although the tone and VDI number were a little lower than I thought the necklace should be, I scooped up Nico’s necklace from the sandy bottom on the second try! As soon as I was able to get back to the dry sand I texted Nico a photo of the recovered necklace and he called me back in a state of disbelief. As it turns out, Nico was only about 30 minutes away on his trip back to Orlando because he had to charge his Tesla so within about 45 minutes the necklace was back on Nico’s neck and he was happily on his way back home. Before he left, Nico asked me to speak to his father on his phone and he thanked me for finding the necklace. I told him that I made Nico promise not to wear it in the water again!

Nico, thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder with the search for your necklace and thank you for the generous reward!

Lost Wedding Ring Found on Narragansett RI Town Beach

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Jake, who lost his wedding ring on the beach the day before while vacationing with his wife.  The couple is from out of town and planned to leave the next day. They had only been married eight months.  He was frantic to find his ring and asked for my help.  I asked a friend to help with the search for Jake’s ring.  We searched the beach area, where Jake and his wife were, for about two hours and couldn’t find the ring.  My friend had to leave, but I didn’t stop searching.  Jake said that he was carrying chairs and other things to the beach so I searched the area where you enter the beach….still no luck.  Jake thanked me for trying and left the beach.  I persisted and did a grid search of the large area where you enter the beach.  In the third row of the grid, I found Jake’s ring and was excited to call him with the good news.  He was still in the parking lot and rushed back to the beach.  Jake couldn’t believe that I found his ring.  He was ecstatic!

Dropped Key In Cape Carteret Waters Keeps Kyle’s Truck Parked Until Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Kyle called me up to see if I could retrieve keys from the boat dock. He had dropped his keys close to where the boat was moored, and since he was nearby, I rushed over to help. The water was 3-4 feet deep and got deeper gradually. My magnet didn’t work, so I dived into the soft seabed and found the keys with my metal detector. Sadly, my long-handled scoop was useless against the muddy bottom littered with oyster shells and twigs. I then used my Garrett pinpointer, took a deep breath, and dove where the detector had signaled. With a clear tone, I scooped up the muck and found Kyle’s keys. He opted out of a photo op and removed the truck key from the set for a picture. The boat in the photo is where we lost and recovered the keys.

Rings lost at Breakers Beach on Coronado found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Thais, took off both of her rings and put them in a shoe before going out in the water. Good idea! Forgetting that they were in the shoe when leaving, not so good. As you might expect, the shoes were picked up by her spouse Syd and the rings ended up falling out and into the soft dry sand. What to do….leaving at 6am the next morning just 13 hours from then…..so, off to the internet for advice. TheRingFinders.com website to the rescue. I got the call from Syd about 4:30pm about a lost « ring », grabbed my gear, and hit the rush hour traffic to the North Island Navy Base visitors parking to meet her. We then drove to the beach and walked a couple hundred yards to a distraught Thais guarding the likely drop zone. A couple of short passes later, I got a nice solid 8 on my Equinox 900. Not knowing at the time that more than one ring was lost, I said that this could be the ring, or, some foil. A probe with the pin pointer, and grab with my hand brought a beautiful wedding band out into the sunshine. I thought we were done….not. a second sweep just a foot away and I got a solid 13. I then popped out the even more beautiful engagement ring to Thais’s delight. I asked if there were more and was told no, that was it. They could now sleep easier that night and catch their plane in the morning without having to leave anything behind. A pleasure to meet you both, and thank you for the reward.

I’ll set up a fast appointment to recover your valuable jewelry, wherever it’s lost in Malibu!
This morning, I got a call from Lauren, a Chicago visitor who’d been enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family the day before. To protect her wedding ring while swimming, she’d placed it in the cupholder of a beach chair. But when the chair was moved, the ring flew into the sand. Hours of searching on hands and knees across Broad Beach—near spots like Zuma Beach and Point Dume Beach—left them empty-handed and frustrated. That’s when they turned to me, Dave MacDonald, for expert lost ring recovery in Malibu.
I met Lauren’s husband, Daniel, at the Broad Beach path entrance, and we headed to their estimated spot. Armed with my Minelab Manticore—perfect for ring recovery—I gridded the sand methodically. The beach was quiet, unlike busy Leo Carrillo State Beach or El Matador Beach, but I expanded my search toward the high tide line. Then, a strong signal pinged just inches from the water’s edge. One quick scoop, and Lauren’s wedding ring was back in hand—a swift win for lost ring recovery in Malibu!

Contact:

Jersey shore ring finder ring finder south jersey On a nice hot day Anton and his family were enjoying the day on at beach. This can be some of the most sought after relaxation one could ask for after a long day at work. And while people are on the beach there are many things they will do like , swimming, running, relaxing, picnicking, throwing footballs, volley ball, wrestling, etc. OH NO did I say wrestling ? That’s when things went wrong for Anton. In one of the 3 areas he was wrestling around that day his cherished cross was pulled from his necklace and lost in the sand.  They searched for a few hours, even with their metal detector, without any luck. That’s when Nicole decided to give me a call to see if I was available to locate the cross. I met them on the beach a little while later and they showed me everything that transpired up to realizing the cross was missing. I started in the most likely spot and within a few moments I had his cross in my scoop. Another fantastic ending to a great day on the Jersey Shore.

How to find a lost cross with Metal Detector, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

What would 4 young men do after their Stockton State College track meet, that’s right, go to the beach to have some fun and cool down in the pristine Jersey Shore Ocean waters. Just prior to going into the water, Brendan removed his cherished cross and chain, and clasped it around the loop on his hat for safe keeping. After they got out of the water, it was placed back around his neck, and just a few moments later, his friend noticed the cross was missing. Luckily his friend Jackson had told his mom Brenda, who was very familiar with NJ Ring Finder stories, from some of the local pages. Brendan, Jackson, and Luke had searched for quite a while without any luck, and that’s when the call came in to me for HELP. I arrived on the Lavallette beach just a short while later, got all the details and searched the entire spot without any luck. After they assured me it must be right there, I turned my metal detectors sensitivity almost as high as it would go, and on the first pass I received a very faint but steady signal, which was in fact, Brendan’s beautiful cross. Another happy ending to a fantastic beach day.

Ring lost at La Jolla Shores found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Ryan was out in the surf with his children when his wedding ring came up missing. He had tied it to some strings on his suit, but, they came undone and the ring was lost. No amount of looking would find a heavy ring once it hits the sand. A suggestion from a friend prompted Ryan to do an online search which brought him to TheRingFinders and my info. Since it was lost in the surf, I planned on searching during the lowest tide possible to increase the odds of a successful recovery. That meant a search starting at 3am. Ryan wasn’t able to meet at that time, but, sent me a map and some details regarding where he thought the ring came off. After gridding an area bigger than a football field for about a couple of hours and only just one penny to show for it, I was begging to wonder whether someone had already scoured the area and found the ring. Nope, right at one of my turn around spots on my grid, I got a nice solid 21 on my Equinox 900 and after one scoop, had his ring in my scoop. The next day, my wife and I were going to be in the general area of where Ryan worked at a local fire department, so, we dropped it off to him. A pleasure to meet you Ryan, and thank you for the reward.
