I had just gotten out of bed in the morning when Molly called. She was very concerned about a ring she had lost the night before, and was asking for help. I asked about the beach, and when she told me, I knew it was one that is cleaned meticulously with machines by the county, so I inquired more about the area, and when she told me that she believed it was lost on the slope down to the water it sounded like a good possibility of a recovery. We agreed to meet there when I was able to wake up and get ready.

We arrived very close to the same time, and found each other. When we looked out over the sand it looked like someone had dragged a 2×4 over the sand, it was smoothed out by the machines, all of it. She showed me where she believed the loss occurred, and it was on the slope untouched by the machines. I began my search in a nice tight grid not finding very much except pieces of aluminum cans. I continued on making sure to cover every inch of ground in order to not miss anything. When after about 6 passes, at the top of the slope, not more than 8 inches from where the machines had gone through I received a real nice signal, dug and there it was, the ring Molly had described. If it had been 8 inches further up it likely would have been gone; luck of the Irish maybe. I held it up, and she ran over very emotional at the sight of it again. She told me that when she was 13 her Irish father gave her that ring, and she has worn it everyday since, so losing it left her emotionally drained. But look at that smile, that’s why we do what we do as Ring Finders; AWESOME RIGHT?!

Ring lost at Pacific Beach Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Justin and family members were visiting here and spending the day out on the sand at Pacific Beach. While sitting in his beach chair, his gold wedding ring decided to take a sand bath, landing somewhere in a three foot circle around him. Searching the best he could, even using a sifter screen, failed to bring his ring to light. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com website and my phone number. A few texts with the pertinent information exchanged, and I was on my way with my wife to help with the awful parking situation normally associated with P.B. As luck would have it, I found parking up close, so, my wife didn’t have to circle, and was able to accompany me to the search area. After meeting Justin, seeing his chair, I had him clear the area for my search. Jokingly, I said that this search might break my record of 10 seconds recovery time seeing as how small the search area was. It was close, but, it might have taken me 12 seconds! A happy Justin can now stay out of the dog house with his wife. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Holgate NJ (LBI) Lost Wedding Ring recovered by Edward Trapper NJ Ring Finder August 2022

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Got a call today from Barbara, she was pretty upset after losing her beautiful wedding.  We talked for a bit and determined it must be right around her car in the driveway, hiding somewhere in the small stones in the driveway. I told her not to move the car, and don’t walk around in the stones which could cause possible damage to her ring. After just a short while the ring was back on her finger.

Expert Ring Recovery: Swift Retrieval of Lost Wedding Ring at Pt. Mugu State Park Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Title: Dave MacDonald Recovers Lost Wedding Ring at Pt. Mugu Beach, Malibu
This morning, Alexandra texted me in a panic: her husband’s wedding ring had slipped off while playing with their kids at Pt. Mugu State Park Beach in Malibu. The heavy ring sank fast into the sand, lost to the beach’s expanse. As Dave MacDonald, your go-to ring finder for Zuma Beach, Broad Beach, and beyond, I promised immediate action to recover it before anyone else could claim it.
I rushed to Pt. Mugu Beach, where we hit the sand running. The first sweep turned up nothing, but I don’t give up easily—whether it’s Leo Carrillo Beach’s rocky shores or El Matador Beach’s tricky terrain. Expanding the search, my second pass with the metal detector struck gold—a distinct tone rang out. With careful precision, I dug up the buried treasure: Alexandra’s husband’s wedding ring, safe and sound.
The relief was instant, the joy contagious. A lifeguard had warned me about bullets and bottle caps littering the area—an obstacle I’ve faced at Thornhill Broome Beach and Sycamore Beach—making this recovery even sweeter. Alexandra’s quick call made all the difference.

White Gold Ring Lost While Body Boarding Redondo Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

I was contacted by Joe because he had been out body boarding 3 days before, and while out in the water lost his wedding ring. He was having to leave for his home up North in a couple of days. I did not have a lot of hope for this situation, but when we hung up I looked at the tide charts and realized it would be a negative low tide early in the morning. I called back to let Joe know I would attempt a search beginning at about 11:00 PM working into the early morning while the tide was going down. Still it had been 3 days, and he did not know how deep he had been when the ring came off, but he was able to narrow down the stretch of beach he had been on while he was enjoying the day. I readied myself, rested up, and got down to do the search at about 11:00 PM.

There was a nice open swath of sand to search due to the diminishing tide, so the search began at the edge on one side of the area. There was a lot of sand, and very few targets while the search went on. Back and forth over about 100 feet of sand, and silence. Then a signal, the scoop went in, and there was a ring, a Irish type Claddagh ring. Joe had not described the ring to me, so I had to contact him to find out if I had found his ring, it was not his. The search continued, and Joe sent a picture of his ring, a white gold band with beveled edges. Then I found another ring, a child’s diamond looking wedding band made out of very cheap metal, not Joe’s. Pass after pass working up the slope, and silence, then another signal, scooped, turned the head light on, and in the scoop was a Joe’s ring, 12:00 AM. I contacted Joe, and he came out to meet right away to get his lost ring back which I am sure he thought he would never see again. I think his smile says it all.

Joe sent the following testimonial:

Hi Steve!
Joe here.  You found my wedding band almost two weeks ago now down in Redondo Beach.
I wanted to say thank you so much.  From the day I lost my ring bodyboarding to the time I called you was about a 3-day difference.
You hopped on it right away that same night, and found it before midnight!!  I can’t thank you enough for finding this ring for me.  It means the world to me, and I now know never to wear it again in these kinds of activities.  I always thought it would never get lost, until it slid right off my finger without me knowing.
Thank you again Steve!

Neill called about his lost ring. He had been throwing a ball with friends when during a throw he felt his ring come off of his finger. It was a custom ring he had made in Japan, so it had significant sentimental value to him. He and his friends searched for what seemed to be easily found, but were unable to find it. I was available, and let him know I would come immediately.

When I got to the beach I found Neill, and he took me out to the area of the loss. He showed me what had happened, and replayed the motion of when the ring came off. After setting up the equipment, began a tight grid to insure not missing the ring. I made about 5 passes within their original search area, and then began to work outside that perimeter when a nice signal came through the head phones. I put the scoop in, and came up with a solid silver ring. I reached in and held it up for Neill who came over elated that it had been found. this made for the great end of the day.

Lost Engagement Ring At Atlantic Beach,NC Pier Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Robert and his family were spending the day next to Oceanana Pier in Atlantic Beach, NC.  Rob’s wife placed her wedding rings inside of a can cooler sleeve and then inside the beach bag under the umbrella.  She had told me that she told Rob about the rings location but he informed me he didn’t hear her.  They had moved a couple of the lounge chairs closer to the water and about 20 yards from the the original setup.  Rob went to retrieve some of the can sleeves and both rings fell out on the way to the chair.  He said the wedding band was located, but was still unable to find her diamond ring.  When I arrived, I was hoping they fell out at the same time and her engagement ring would be very close to the wedding band…Nope.  After a thorough search of the setup area, I started to grid search towards the lounge chairs.  After a few trash objects removed from the beach, I plucked her lost ring out with only part of it exposed in the pile of sand.  I asked Rob, « Do you see what I see? »  He bent down and picked up her missing ring.

Aidan contacted me about looking for a special necklace he had lost earlier that day. It was now about 8:00 PM, and I know the county cleans the beach regularly, so I asked him if he would be able to meet me there to show me where he had been when the loss occurred. He said he would check with his mom for a ride as he was coming from Pasadena which is about 30 miles from the beach. He called back to let me know that his mom was more than willing to give the ride, so I agreed to meet them as soon as they could get there.

It was about 9:45 PM when we all got there. Aidan was there with his mom and brother, and he walked me out to the area he had been. He showed me where he had set his things, so I began my grid. Pass after pass, and nothing. Not even very much trash metal. He then said that his friend had moved their stuff to the other side of the Lifeguard tower, so it might have fallen along the way. He then went over to the other side, and asked if I would come over there as well. I did while working in the area they had possibly walked, nothing. He showed me the new area, and I began a new grid. As I searched Aidan walked out over to the bathrooms where the showers were, but I plugged on. Pass after pass, then a really good signal, I scooped, and there in the bottom was a chain with some items attached, it was about 11:00 PM. I looked, and Aidan was pretty far from me, but his mother was on the other side of the tower, so I walked over to her, and said that I think we have looked long enough, and that they should get on their way home. She looked at me with resignation until held my hand out with Aidan’s necklace in it. When she saw it she just ran off yelling for him saying he found it, he found it! I found out that two of those pendants were given him by his mom, one at birth, and the other on another special occasion. The little soccer shoe was given him by a friend who had got it in Italy just a couple of weeks before. What great way to end a day!
