I received a call from Beth asking for help in finding her lost ring. She had been at the beach the day before, and made sure she wisely removed it, and put it in the zippered pocket of her bag where she also put her COVID mask. As she was getting ready to leave the beach, she removed her mask to put it on, and surmised that the ring came out with it, and was lost in the sand. I asked about the area, and she said that it was on the slope down to the water as opposed to being in the dry sand. It sounded like a good possibility of a recovery if it was out of the way of the county beach cleaning machines, and if another detector did not find it first. I told her I would leave as soon as possible to meet her there.

When I arrived Beth met me and took me to where she had been the day before. I realized it was high tide, and there was some good sized surf, so I went back to my vehicle to get my waders, to insure I could get out into the surf if needed. The sand was soft in the area she showed me, so I figured the ring would not have moved much laterally, but would have sunk with the movement of the water, which was a good thing. I made one pass close to the cut, then turned to make my second pass. I was about halfway into the second pass when I received my first signal, which was solid. I dug, and in the scoop was a small gold ring. I held the ring up to Beth’s disbelief. She came right over to check it out. She tried it on, it fit. Then she checked the inside for the inscription, yes it was there; this was her ring. Beth was very happy, and I was so glad to be a help for her!

As I was returning home from my key search in Zuma Beach, and driving through the beach cities, I received a call from Mark who had also lost his keys in the sand, fortunately the same day. This was the third recovery call this day, a ring, and two key searches, and I let him know I was on the way.

When I got to the beach, I found Mark, and he showed me what had happened. He had put his keys in the pocket of his beach chair, and when he left, folded it up walking away not realizing they had fallen out. He went back to find them, but they were lost in the sand. He had marked the spot with his flip flops in order to give me a beginning of the area to search, so that is where I began, right where his flip flops were. Right over his flip flops I received a good signal, and thought the flip flops had some metal in them as some do, so I moved them and scanned again; same signal. I dug and there they were. Mark had placed his flip flops unknowingly right on top of his keys, what a surprise. What a way to top off the day; great smile!

Electronic Car Key Fob With Attached Keys Lost on Berm at Zuma Beach the Day Before…Found and Happily Returned.

I was on my way to search for Jason’s ring in Westlake when Bryan called to ask if I could help find his lost keys that he had lost at the beach the day before. We discussed the loss, and he told me that it happened on the newly constructed berm used to hold winter storm surf back. He had brought his daughter there to use her Boogie Board as a « snow » sled as many do at the beach in the winter. I let him know that as soon as I completed my ring search, I would head towards the beach, and call him to tell him I was on the way.

I contacted Bryan when I was coming out to the beach, and we arranged to meet a certain parking lot. When I got there I found him, and we started over to the berm. He showed me where he had been, and where he thought the keys might have been lost. I began my search covering the whole area he had showed me with no luck. I began to search on the end of the berm, because he believed he had been there doing some tricks, still no luck. Then I started looking on the other side of the berm, even though he said he did not spend much time there. I worked my way down, and Bryan asked me to extend the search out a little, as he remembered the area being a little larger than at first thought. I continued searching until I got to the bottom of the berm, and got a good solid signal, dug, and had a nice set of keys in my scoop. Bryan had his back to me when I found them, but his daughter had been watching from the top of the berm, and when I held the keys up she ran to her father to exclaim that they had been found. Needless to say there was happiness in the air!

Jason called after having lost his wedding ring in the backyard, and looking for it unsuccessfully. He had been playing soccer with his child, when a kick from the young one caused the ball to hit his left had with enough force to dislodge his ring, and it was gone. We arranged a time to meet, and I was off to do the search.

When I got to Jason’s house he met me, and took me out to their backyard. He showed me where he had been standing, and what had happened to cause the loss of his ring. He was facing out to defend the goal from his child, so the obvious possible area of the loss was to be center to left of the goal. I searched slowly and diligently to make sure I was not missing anything with no luck in those areas. I then searched out in front of the goal, still no luck. Now to search out of the box searching to the right of the goal. It was 15 feet to the right, and 15 feet forward of the goal that I found the ring. This is why we as Ring Finders are so successful, because we know that a lot of times the ring we are looking for is not always where it should be, and we are not afraid to look out of the box to make a recovery. We are serious about the hunt, sometimes accused of being driven to make a recovery, and why not, look at the smiles we produce!

Gold and Diamond Ring Lost at Kerikeri, New Zealand – Found!

Ring Finder – Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost ring? Lost necklace? Lost keys?… Metal Detector Service – Call ASAP 021 401626

Barrys wife was swimming and playing with her grand-daughter in the sea in the Bay of Islands, NZ, last night.
As she went to do a handstand she felt her precious gold and diamond ring slip off her finger and into the cloudy water.

Instantly lost…

Fabricated from her mothers jewellery, she was understandably very distraught – returning with a torch that night to search for the lost ring.
Again she tried, at sunrise this morning, she was back with a mask and snorkel – but to no avail.

Shortly afterwards, Barry found me through a web search for ring recoveries, finding lost rings and metal detectors and gave me a call.
As luck would have it, it was just approaching low tide and I was only 30min away so threw the kit in the wagon and headed out.
On arrival, I saw she was standing diligently at ‘Spot X’. I went through the backstory of how she lost the ring, state of tide, depth of water, whether she was on shingle, sand or silt underfoot etc and started to work the grid.

Starting in the water, I worked back and forth along the beach. Ploughing my way through the many trash signals, digging a few that were too close to call. Eventually I emerged onto the beach and continued up past the depth she had indicated (Assume Nothing, Believe No-One, Check Everything)

There was evidence of recent detecting with scoop holes in the water and backfilled holes on the beach, as expected at this time of year with the influx of holidaymakers, although they were unlikely to have been created in the short period between time of loss and my arrival.

Initial search area was eventually cleared with no result, I discussed the search with them and we shifted slightly to one side towards where they had come down onto the beach.
Seconds into the new area, less than a metre outside the original grid boundary(!)  I caught the ring, tucked snugly into the gravel about 2-3 inches down – To an ecstatic cheer from it’s owner…and I went home to finish my lunch 🙂

Diamond and platinum Wedding band lost at Coral Springs , Florida… found and returned to owner

  • from North Miami Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a client Ron who was very upset about visiting a neighbors house and having his fiancé loose a Platinum Diamond engagement ring . He asked me if I could come over to Coral Springs to find his Platinum ring. He stated that he had been searching for it since Christmas Day with metal detectors . I came over about 0900 the next day. He kept asking me whether it flew off his fiancés finger into a nearby lake.. I really thought 20 feet was too far away . I began searching and after a few targets like the sprinkler system. I finally got the  prize target. He was soooo Happy .. and I felt very good also. What a good Christmas present although a little bit late.

Diamond engagement ring lost in snow, recovered and returned in Bensalem, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received an email from Catie on December 17, 2020 looking for help finding a lost diamond engagement ring. I gave her a call and she shared the details of what happened. Here in the Philadelphia area we had a significant snow storm Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Catie was clearing snow off her car in the parking lot of her apartment in Bensalem, PA when she suddenly noticed her relatively new engagement ring was no longer on her finger. She was quite certain it was on her finger prior to her starting to clear the snow off the car. In somewhat of a panic she dug around in the 10 inches of snow with no luck. Prior to calling me she had actually borrowed a metal detector but told me it was of no use and she didn’t know how to work it. After speaking to her I told her I would be there the next day at lunch time….I stressed to her not to touch, move or shovel anymore snow and to make sure no one shovel the snow around the area.

I met Catie at her car at around 130 pm and we re-enacted her movements that led to the lost ring. Based on her description of her movements I guessed it couldn’t be far from her car and most likely in the snow behind the car. I learned over the years to prioritize search areas…start a quick search in the most likely area it fell…even if that area is sort of in the middle of the entire search area. I made a first pass along and behind the tail gate of her car with no luck…the snow was deep! I turned and began making a 2nd pass a little more distant to the rear of the car and BOOM! A surface 8-9 tone on my Equinox 800 detector! Those of you who are detectorists know…if you get a solid surface signal in 10 inches of snow…its going to be a winner. The signal was so clear and obvious I wasn’t surprised when i bent down and wiped away a few inches of snow to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. Total search time – 2 minutes?!

Catie happened to be standing 10-15 feet away….watching with hopeful yet anxious eyes. When I got the signal…even before bending over….I gave her a wink(like babe Ruth calling the homer!). After bending over and picking up her ring I think she was in a bit of shock when she saw it in my hand. Then tears of joy of course! To this day I find the best part of being a Ringfinder is the visceral joy and relief on faces of people when I hold up their lost ring. What can I say…its a rush!

Catie is scheduled to get married September of this year…I certainly wish her the best!

Lost Ring Old Orchard Beach, Maine. A ring finding tale in reverse.

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

Most of my Ring Finder post stories begin with someone contacting me to come search an area where they lost a ring. In this case however I found a ring while casually detecting at Old Orchard Beach and then had to try track down the owner. A plea on Craigslist and in the Friends of Ocean Park FB page asking for anyone who had lost a piece of jewelry on the beach to contact me with a description did result in a few inquires, including the person who lost it while vacationing. He gave a description along with sending a photo from their wedding album to confirm. The 14k gold band is now back in New Hampshire on the finger of a man named Dave where it belongs. Dave needed a Ring Finder, and luckily a Ring Finder found his ring and then found him, because the road to reuniting someone with their lost jewelry is sometimes a two way street.

I received a desperation call from Hana. She had lost her Cartier gold and diamond bracelet in the sand at the beach. She had been shooting a video for her Social Media page when sometime during the shoot her bracelet came off and disappeared. She had left the beach before she knew it was gone, and was worried about getting to it right away. I agreed with her about doing the search as soon as possible, so I gathered what I needed, and was on my way.

When I got to the area I had a bit of a hard time finding the access point to get to where she was, and there was no cell phone coverage for my carrier, so I was not able to contact her. After studying the photos Hana sent me, and driving around, I finally was able to find the access point, and Hana was waiting for me. She took me down to where she was filming, and showed me the area. It was a rather long, but a narrow path that she had run down on the beach. She went to the furthest point and waited, as I set up for my search. I began, swung about 3 times, got a great solid gold signal in the head phones, and dug. I pulled out the sand and dumped it out. Right on top was Hana’s bracelet big and beautiful. I held it up for her, and I think it took a couple seconds for her to realize that I found it so quickly, but when she came back she reminded everyone that she suspected it had been lost in that area. It was great to be able to reunite Hana and her bracelet. Sometimes the loss of such an item can be disheartening, but all smiles this time.

Jennifer emailed me asking if I could help her in finding her husband’s wedding ring. She wasn’t sure about when (within the last couple of days) or where it was lost, but had the locations of a possible loss narrowed down to a few different areas. We arranged to do a search the next day.

I got to Jennifer’s house, and she came to show me the possible zones of where she and her husband thought the ring might have been lost. As she was showing me, I could see that they had the most luxurious grass with long leaves, and thick thatch which could easily hide a ring. She showed me an area of the front yard, and then took me into the backyard to show me where her husband does his daily work out in the same luxurious grass. I decided that the backyard site should be the first to search knowing that there was a lot of movement from the exercise that could dislodge a ring. I began, and after 2 passes, found the ring in about 5 minutes. I walked over to Jennifer to say that I felt I was working too hard, to which I received a short puzzled look, just long enough to then hold up her husband’s ring. She couldn’t believe it had been found in such a short time, I was fortunate to have chosen the right place to start the  search. She called her husband Alex to give him his ring, he was also surprised when I showed him where it had been lost. Two great smiles!
