how to find a lost ring in sand Tag | Page 47 of 122 | The Ring Finders
Another Busy Sunday Afternoon!
For reasons that are probably easy to figure out, the weekends can be very busy for Ring Finders like us. This past Sunday was no exception for me. I received two calls within 5 minutes of each other. I had someone working on my house and it was almost dinner time so I sent the first caller to my buddy Brendon. When the second call came in, knowing Brendon would already be on the first call, I asked the woman if I could call her back. I checked with my contractor, and my wife, and decided I could probably make it out to find the second caller’s ring.
Forty minutes later I found myself at Baker Beach once again!
I swear, the sand there just SUCKS rings in like quicksand.
I met these clients on the beach after parking my car. I reviewed with them what they were doing when they lost it and where they thought it might have gone. Within a few short minutes, I had found the ring!
If only all of our ring finds were this easy and quick!

22K Gold Ring Found for Owner, Falmouth, Massachusetts
Will was on his way back home to Canada. His 22K gold ring wasn’t. It was buried at an uncertain location on the beach.
Yesterday, a late evening call from Will alerted me to the fact that he’d lost his ring somewhere in dry sand or in the water while they were enjoying a day on the sand and in the surf. I arranged to meet him early today and he showed me the areas he expected the ring to be: a dry sand area where he’d played ‘spike ball’, an area where the family sunned on the dry sand, and a water area where he’d been swimming. Will had asked a detectorist who happened by to scan the first area, with no results. The water seemed like the next best bet so I started there, working parallel to shore from neck-deep in toward the beach. After about two hours with no results I went ashore and scanned the spike-ball and sunning areas but came up with nothing but some trash. In the meantime, Will and family had to depart for home. I’d assured him that if I found the ring I’d arrange to send it back to him.
Back in the water, I started in the middle of the search area, working in- and off-shore toward one side until I reached the edge. I then expanded the search area and within a few minutes got a nice solid signal. I sank the scoop deep and a few seconds later was looking Will’s buttery-gold ring sitting in a scoopful of gravelly cobbles. Success!
The next step will be to ship the ring home. I had a great time on this search and I’m elated that I’ll be able soon to re-unite Will and his ring!
Update, 23 October: Will’s ring was shipped off to his sister in New York state on 30 August, as it was anticipated that he would be visiting her in early September and this also would avoid possible customs issues in getting his ring back into Canada. Unfortunately, the planned visit did not work out but now, finally, the ring has made it back to where it belongs! Will, thank you for adding your background story about the ring. I’m so happy for you and Swathi that the ‘circle is now complete’!

At last, back where it belongs!
Gold & Diamond Wedding Band Recovered for Owner, Mashpee, MA
Mike forgot his clam rake when he went to the beach, but that didn’t stop him from digging for quahogs. The only implements available for digging were his hands, and he made good use of them until he realized that his gold and diamond wedding band had been left behind somewhere in the muddy sand. He took careful note of the area where the ring likely was lost, probably some 50-60 feet offshore, obtained a non-waterproof detector and made an attempt to find the ring but had no success.
Browsing the web, Mike’s wife found my Ring Finders page and contacted me several days later. I talked to Mike and we made arrangements to meet so he could show me the area to search. At the beach he waded out to where he thought the ring might be, and I marked it with a buoy and started my search. After some additional thought he moved the buoy and I searched that area for about 50 minutes until it seemed clear that I was getting out of the zone where the ring might be. I moved back to the original area and sure enough, within about 10 minutes had the ring in my scoop. With some huge smiles, handshakes, and hugs the ring was soon back on Mike’s finger where it belonged!
Thanks Mike, for the opportunity to help you out and get that beautiful ring out of the mud and back in its rightful place!

Mike’s gold & diamond ring.

A big smile from Mike.

I was contacted by the mother of the groom who had lost his wedding ring the day after the wedding while throwing a football on the beach. They had come down from Fresno for the ceremony at a club that is right across from the water, and after the loss had to go back home. I asked a lot of questions knowing they would not be able to be there for the search to show me what was done to cause the loss, or where exactly it occurred. After I felt that I had enough knowledge to do the search I was on my way.
When I got there people had already begun to get their spot on the beach, so I had to work around them the best I could. I worked all the area around the people, and then began working down the slope. There wasn’t a lot of trash metal so that made progress faster than usual. I kept working down the slope to the water, and then began in the wet sand. I kept working down the beach until I was in the water when I got a good tone in the head phones. The scoop went in the sand, and came up with a nice white gold ring in it. I called the groom’s mother, and we arranged for her sister to meet me to get the ring, and she would bring it up North later. Another successful recovery!

Almon contacted me in the morning about his lost wedding ring. He had lost it the day before at the beach, and was hoping I could do a search for him. I was available, and let him know I would leave as soon as possible. He let me know that he was unable to meet me for the search, but sent me great coordinates in order to do the search.
I got down to the beach in good time, and before the crowds appeared to enable me to do a thorough search of the area. I went right to the area that Almon had given me, and started my grid. I continued for a while, then decided to send him a photo of where I had searched. He pointed out an area in the photo that I should concentrate on, so I went to that spot and continued. After about 5 passes and multiple pieces of trash metal I got his ring in my scoop. I sent him a text to let him know the good news, and we arranged a time to meet after he got off of work. He was very happy to get his ring back especially knowing that this year was his 10th wedding anniversary.

Lost Diamond Ring, Wildwood, New Jersey, RECOVERED!

Lost Ring, Cape May, New Jersey, RECOVERED!
I was tagged in a post in a few local groups last evening regarding someone looking for assistance with recovering a lost ring on the beach in Cape May. I messaged Emily whom explained that her father lost his ring, at some point, on Grant St beach earlier in the day. Emily passed me onto her mother whom reached out this morning. After gathering some details we agreed on a time to meet. Took the short ride, from home, over and met up with the entire family. They weren’t exactly sure when or how the ring came to be lost but they were fairly sure as to where they had been sitting. I turned on my detector and literally had the ring in the first sweep, less than 3 minutes. Another happy family! #lostringandjewelryrecoveryservice, #capemaynj, #jerseyshore, #weddingrings, #lostring, #capemaycounty, #lostandfound, #CoolCapeMay, #coolercapemay, #theringfindersnj, #theringfindersnewjersey, #jerseyshore, #capemaynewjersey
