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.

Lost Wedding Ring in the sand Found at Broad Beach Malibu

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

If you’ve lost a ring, pendant, bracelet, or necklace in the sand at Broad Beach in Malibu, don’t waste time renting a metal detector. Instead, contact Malibu Metal Detector Expert, Dave MacDonald of Ventura County Ringfinders, at 805-290-5009. We’ll quickly set up an appointment to help you recover your valuable jewelry!

This morning, I received a call from Lauren, who was visiting Los Angeles from Chicago and had spent the previous day enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family. Before going for a swim, she wisely removed her wedding ring and placed it in the cup holder of a beach chair, fearing it might slip off in the water. However, as often happens, the chair was moved, and the ring went flying into the sand. Despite hours of searching on their hands and knees, they couldn’t locate the ring.

I met Lauren’s husband, Daniel, at the entrance to the beach path, and we headed down to the area where they believed the ring might be. Using my Minelab Manticore, an ideal tool for ring recovery, I methodically gridded the area. After expanding my search, I got a strong signal just inches from the high tide line. With a quick scoop, the ring was back in its rightful place.

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
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.

Gold necklace and Pendant recovered on 30A

  • from Miramar Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

The Capone family (yes that family) were visiting Blue Mountain Beach on 30A when Joey lost his necklace and pendant in chest deep water. This was handed down from the Capone family and was very special to him. Needless to say he was devastated. Well…… then he called Lost Rings of Destin, FL through ringfinders and that all changed. I enlisted his help and gave him his own machine to assist. After almost an hour of searching we recovered it. Tears were shed and hugs were given. This was a great recovery and glad it went well for the family because I thought they might find a quiet place to bury me had I not. Hahaha! Big thanks to the Capones for hydrating me and the future care packages.

Emerald Isle, NC, Lost Wedding Band Found by Crystal Coast Ring Finders

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

Bady had placed his wedding band in the beach chair before heading into the water.  I didn’t want to start an argument but, it seems either he or his wife folded up the chair and headed back the the beach house before realizing the ring was lost.  Bady’s father-in-law called me to request my service after getting a referral from a town official.  As I was on the phone gathering details, Bady’s wife was out searching for the ring and also was given my contact information from a person on the beach and she called too.  After I realized both numbers were from the same state outside of NC, I realized it may be about the same lost ring.  We had a laugh as I headed to their location and told them to rest assured I would indeed find the lost ring.  It wasn’t near any public parking area and not in an area other detectorist would visit on a regular basis.  After being fooled by a bottlecap, my 2nd loud signal was Bady’s lost ring.  It was very helpful they marked the area in the sand with a shovel and outlined the area they were sure it must be inside for me to find.  It was a good feeling and I enjoyed talking to Bady’s father-in-law upon our return.

Wedding Ring recovered with metal detector in Laguna Beach

CALL SURF CITY RING FINDER 714-944-0555

Kevin said he was brushing the sand off his hands when he felt his ring fly off and into the sand. I drove approximately 40 minutes to meet him at the beach.

When I arrived he showed me the area where he lost it but I couldn’t locate it.  I then started to check the wet sand and he said he thinks it is higher up in the dry sand so I checked the dry sand again without any luck so back to the wet sand I went and sure enough I got a signal and when I looked down I could see his ring sticking out of the sand.

Kevin and his wife were so grateful and very appreciative of my metal detecting service.
