Steph contacted me regarding the loss of her engagement ring. She was at the beach, and was hit by a wave when her ring came off in the water. It was a ring custom made for her by her fiance with a ruby that had been in his family for over 80 years, and was virtually priceless. It only happened just an hour before the call, so I made sure she knew that I would come right away in order to try and insure a recovery.

When I got to the beach, I looked for Steph and her fiance, but could not find them, so I called, and found that they had gone for a walk. I guess the loss had caused so much distress that they needed to deal with. I began to search where I thought they had been. When they came back, they were able to show me exactly where to look, and within minutes I found the beautiful ring, and held it up for her. She came over very emotional, so happy to have it back. I was able to provide the sort of hope the Ring Finders provide for the countless thousands around the world.

Ring lost in Poway found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Kathy contacted me saying that after her husband had finished eating, she decided to grab the tablecloth and shake it outside to remove any salt and crumbs that were on it. What she didn’t know was that her husband had taken his wedding ring off and had left it there on the table. Out the door everything went and after a good shake, she returned inside to find out that her husband’s wedding ring was missing. They searched the dining area and path to the backyard patio and yard, but, the ring wasn’t found. When I arrived, I got the story and evaluated the search area. Small yard with grass back to a vine covered fence. Beyond the fence dropped down a slope to a canyon bottom. Hopefully it didn’t get slung down there! Not to worry, first target was right in the range for a gold ring….26-7 on the Equinox 900. It wasn’t right on top of the ground, so, it must have been stepped on sometime during their search. It took a few minutes to dig it out of the dirt and grass, but, it was « Thankfully » a success! A pleasure to meet you Kathy and thank you for the reward.

Got a call from Declan about 7:00 PM about a key fob he had lost earlier in the day in the sand at the beach. After a few questions he let me know that he had buried his key marked by his flip flops so he could go surfing, but while he was out the county beach cleaners came through, and his flip flops were gone. He suspected the key went with it, which sounded like the most reasonable outcome, but he asked if I could come to do a search anyway. I said I would leave immediately, and met him on the beach about an hour later.

Declan had found his flip flops down the beach a ways, so he took me out to that spot to begin my search. He said he had buried his keys at the top of the slope down to the water, and I could tell that the machine had cleaned right up to the edge of that slope. He had a spare key exactly like the one that was lost, so I asked him to lay it down so I could get a reading from it in order to not have to dig signals that were not even close. I then began my search not worrying about signals that were not close. Then about 100 feet from where we started I received a close signal, dug, and dumped the sand. I put my coil over the hole again, not there. I put the coil over the dumped sand, not there. As I was checking the pile Declan walked up with his light and reached right behind me, and lifted up the plastic bag with his key. It must have hooked my scoop, and flipped behind me when I dumped the sand. Needless to say he was happy, and I was excited because you could see that the machine had gone over the spot but missed his key. Great night!

Diamond Engagement Ring lost in the sand, Lavallette NJ (OB3) recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jersey shore ring finder

I was spending the holiday weekend with my family at Island Beach State Park when I received a frantic call from Megan. She was incredibly upset, having just lost her rings in the sand moments before. While she had managed to recover two of them, her cherished engagement ring was nowhere to be found. I calmed her down, advising her to stop digging and simply wait, assuring her I would be there in a few hours. Since Megan and her family were staying for the day and had secured the area with their beach gear, there wasn’t an urgent rush. Had the situation been different, I would have dropped everything and headed there immediately.

When I arrived, Megan pointed out the area where the ring had gone missing, and I wasted no time getting to work. Initially, I had to clear a few loud signals that were overpowering the delicate tone of her ring. Once those were taken care of, my metal detector honed in on the ring’s unique signal. Within seconds, her engagement ring was safely in my scoop. The relief on her face made the search all the more rewarding!

Ring lost in Ocean Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Alex and his family were at a local sports park, and after tossing a ball for the last time, he pulled his hand out of his baseball glove and inadvertently pulled his wedding ring off his finger in the process. They looked around the grass for quite some time and finally gave up and went home. An online search brought Alex to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. 40 minutes later, we met at the site and he gave me the story, description of the ring, and the approximate 50 foot squared search area. I set up some cones and got to work gridding. As most of you know, parks usually have a ton of stuff buried in the grass, and this place was no exception. Slowly, I made my way back and forth across the suspected search area, checking out dozens and dozens of targets. After about 45 minutes and an assortment of trash later, I got another good sounding target in the same « gold ring » range. I looked down, and sitting there in plain sight was his ring. Alex was walking around with his eyes to the ground in hopes of spotting his ring. I called him over and pointed to the ground in front of me. Alex was super happy to get his ring back, called his wife with the good news, and I got a big thank you from her too. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Wedding Ring lost on the Beach, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

  Wolfie contacted me about locating his brand new wedding ring. He explained that after spending the day at the beach, he notice his ring went missing after they returned home for the day. Unfortunately, this happens quite often with newlyweds, as they are not used to having the ring on their hand, so it hasn’t become habit to notice it missing.  I wasn’t able to head right out as I usually do, but assured him I would be out later closer to low tide. I had him do all the essentials in the mean time, pin location in google maps, take pictures of the location, secure the area if possible, and make some kind of identifying mark of the spot just encase all other measures failed. It was very dark that night which limited my visibility, even with the bright headlamp. As I was still maneuvering to the pinned location, Wolfie showed up and put me right on the spot they were set up that day. Within about 5 minutes  my metal detector sounded off a sweet low tone, which was consistent with the ring he had described. Sure enough, Wolfe’s ring was now safely in my sand scoop, soon to be back on his finger, just after a few quick pics for my recovery story.

Lost Gold Watch Bezel-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

I was contacted by a guy that does professional yard services and he had lost the bezel from his watch in a client’s yard while trimming the shrubs. The bezel was custom made gold with diamonds. He was working the day of the search and not able to be there with me. He had given me the address of his customer and they knew I was coming. This search to me nearly two hours of searching because the detector coil would not fit down in the shrubbery so I had to search a lot of it visually. I eventually found the bezel way up under a low growing Japanese maple tree. It was lying face down and very difficult to see in the mulch, but my detector saw it clearly.

Lost Ring in Backyard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

I was contacted by Jessica to find her husband’s ring he had lost in the backyard while throwing balls for his dog. Along the way they had borowwed a metal detector to look for it themselves, but they didn’t know how to use it, so they hid her ring in the grass to test it out and see what it sounded like, and that’s where it got more complicated. The detector and their ears were overloaded with all the metal in the ground they didn’t know was there. Then they couldn’t find her ring either. That’s when she contacted me.  They had marked out a spot where she thought her ring would be, and it was a fairly small area, maybe six feet by four feet. I covered that area quickly and no ring, so I expanded the search area to beyond where she had marked out.  I had made one pass, turned around to parallel my path and I was facing the sun. After two steps I caught a relection in the grass of something silver colored before my coil passed over it. It was her ring. The entire search for her ring was less than ten minutes. While I was talking with her and taking a couple of photos the sun was directly in my eyes so I shifted position a little.  When she was looking at me I noticed she had fixed her attention to somewhere over my right shoulder. She said hold on a minute, and took off to the side of the yard and came back with his ring. If my memory serves me correctly it was dark colored, titanium maybe.  From the position we were standing she happened to see it laying on the ground in a clear area that was free of grass. So both rings were recovered in around fifteen minutes.

Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.
