I received a call the other day in the morning from Frances. She and her family had been at the beach the day before when her husband went into the water, and his ring slid off of his hand into the foaming waves to disappear in an instant. I looked the tide chart, and realized I was just a couple hours short of high tide, so I asked if Frances could meet me at the beach so she would be able to show me where the loss occurred. She told me that was not going to be possible. I then asked more questions regarding the area, and asked if she could send some pictures showing the area as well. She did send me enough information, and I immediately got on the way for the search.

I know this area is detected unmercifully, and was hoping the ring had not already been found. When I arrived I spotted another detectorist at work in the area I was supposed to search, but after closer inspection, I surmised he was using a detector that was good for dry searching only, which provided some relief. I donned my waders, and headed off into the water, to search as deep as possible in order to ride the tide up as it rose. I knew I had to search as deep as possible first, and work my way up the slope. I found a few targets, many of them too small to be held by my 1/2 hole scoop, which caused me to dig more than I anticipated, but I marched on. I continued the search working up the slope grid line by grid line. I finally got near the top of the slope, got a solid signal, and scooped a heavy gold ring. After close inspection I was able to read the inscription Frances told me to look for. I then sent a text to her with a picture of the ring, and we arranged to meet back at the beach a while later to return the ring. She came with her husband Alan, and when he placed it back on his finger I could see why it had come off so easy, it was very loose. They were very happy to have back something they thought was probably lost forever. It is a pleasure to bring the joy back.

Frances sent the following testimonial:

Steve is truly an ANGEL!

My husband lost his wedding ring at Redondo Beach, CA. This happened when he was IN THE WATER! We were very very sad……we thought that it was swept away by the waves and that it was lost forever. But we still did not want to give up and that’s when we came across Steve’s information. We called him the next morning and he immediately took action! We were so impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. After an hour, he sent us a picture of my husband’s ring!!! AMAZING!!!! He is so kind, sweet and he really wants to help others. Thank you, Steve, you are truly and ANGEL!

RingFinder not foiled by a Stud Earring in Wequassets’ sandy beach. Harwich, MA Lost & Found

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Cristin was strolling along Wequassets’ sandy beach when her daughter brushed a diamond stud earring from its adoring place in Cristin’s ear. Hours of searching did not locate the sparkling jewel from its resting place.

I was just sitting around enjoying the Fathers’ Day activities when a call for help rang in on my phone. The tide was on its way in and the bags and car were packed ready for the day’s drive home after what was a beautiful mini-vacation had been. Only one thing was missing, the earring. The last chance to find the earring. It would be up to my skill and my up-to-date technology filled metal detector. Mind you a stud earring is a very small target on a very large beach. In hopes the many variables in detector setting would be ample to locate the missing earring or it would be a sad trip home for Cristin.

A short walk to the isolated section of beach and I was searching like a blood hound. Every so often I stopped dropped the lost earring’s mate which was now safe in a plastic bag and tweaked the detector’s settings for the best possible signal response from the tiny object. About 20 minutes into the search I heard the signal I was waiting to hear. I moved a bit of sand and saw the small sparkle in the sand. A quick pinch and I lifted the small metal setting with diamond still in tack. I then let Cristin listen to the signal difference between her stud earring and my wedding band. She was amazed at the very faint signal of the stud and how I could pick it out from the many similar signals.

The return ensured a happy and enjoyable memories of the family’s first stay at the resort. It also will be part of my many memorable searches and returns I have made over the past 38 year of enjoying my hobby, metal detecting, and helping others.

Wedding band lost while swimming, recovered from lake in Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:
  •  Amy emailed me to see if I could help locate her husband Matt’s custom made white gold wedding band, which was lost as he swam in front of their Hopkins Pond Camp, in Clifton, Maine. Despite very clear water and minimal bottom silt, the search area was challenging due to being strewn with rocks and boulders. Upon exhausting my first tank of air, I began to fear the ring may have slipped into one of the many deep crevices and out of detector range. Shortly after starting my second dive, my Minelab Equinox 600 located the ring in 9 feet of water, buried in a thin layer of silt. A portion of the generous reward received will be donated to The Landing Place in Rockland, Maine to help their efforts to combat homelessness of local teens and young adults.

Lost rings Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, FOUND!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Received a call yesterday late morning about a lost wedding ring set. Jess explained that she had taken her ring, which was actually three rings fused together, off and placed it in her wallet which was then placed in her beach bag. At some point during the day she thought one of her kids may have knocked it out of the purse while looking for money for the ice cream man, but neither she or her kids were sure. She had already returned home to PA before realizing that the ring was missing. Jess was able to provide some location details and given the time of day she called and it’s possible location I thought it would be best to try for it after the crowds had cleared. Took a ride over later in the afternoon and recovered the platinum diamond ring in about 20 minutes. 

Comments from Jess: « I can not explain my emotions after coming home and realizing that my wedding ring was gone. I kept trying to trace every step and thing I did and just kept searching thinking it would appear. I don’t like to wear my ring on the beach because it gets so dirty but this has been a big lesson for sure. I literally was so sick in my stomach all day yesterday and honestly thought it was gone for good as the chances of finding it were so slim. Thank goodness I found Jeff and his team. He was professional, asked the right questions, and got the job done! He was incredible and I could never thank him enough! »

How to Find a Lost Ring in the Sand at Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, and Hollywood Beach

How to Find a Lost Ring in the Sand at Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, and Hollywood Beach
Losing a wedding ring in the shifting sands of Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, or Hollywood Beach can feel overwhelming, like searching for a needle in a haystack. When Jason contacted me this morning on behalf of his friend Steve, who had lost his cherished ring in the wet sand, I knew quick action was critical. As Dave, The Ring Finder, a proud member of www.theRingfinders.com, I understand that the unique slopes of these Ventura County beaches—Oxnard, Silverstrand, and Hollywood—mean a single high tide can bury a ring deep in the sand in just one cycle. With no time to waste, I headed to the beach to start the search.
Steve explained how his ring slipped off while he was tossing a stick toward the water, a common scenario at these lively coastal spots. I began by carefully gridding the area, focusing on the wet sand zones where the tides at Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, and Hollywood Beach could have carried the ring. Initial sweeps turned up nothing, but I adjusted my approach, moving closer to the water’s edge where the ring was most likely to have settled. Within minutes, my metal detector let out a promising signal. With a swift scoop, I dug into the sand and pulled out Steve’s lost ring, gleaming in the sunlight. The relief and joy on his face as I handed it back were unforgettable.
These beaches, with their beauty and constant tidal shifts, can make losing a ring a stressful ordeal—but that’s where professional metal detection comes in. Whether it’s the expansive shores of Oxnard Beach, the vibrant Silverstrand Beach, or the bustling Hollywood Beach, I’m here to help. As Dave, The Ring Finder, I specialize in recovering lost treasures and reuniting them with their owners. If you’ve lost a ring or any precious item in the sand, don’t give up hope. Connect with me at www.davetheringfinder.com or www.theringfinders.com/david.mac.donald, or give me a call at 805-290-5009. Let’s bring your lost treasure back where it belongs!

Jack called last night stating he had been at the beach earlier in the day, and lost his wedding ring in the sand. He had been there with his dogs, and took his ring off to put on sunscreen. Leaving his ring on his towel, he had forgotten about it until after he had left for the day. He went back as soon as he knew it was gone, but was unable to find it. Finding my number on The Ring Finders site he called, and we arranged to meet back at the beach, so he could show me where he had been sitting to narrow down the search area. Calling right away helped insure a recovery, because TIME is the enemy of a successful search, so if you have lost something call right away.

When we arrived at the beach, we met up, and Jack took me down to the area of the loss. I then began my litany of questions in order to narrow down the search area. After finding out all the information I needed, I began my search, which after about 2 minutes, resulted in a successful search. The questions help us to help you, so I am thankful when the person I am trying to help is patient while I ask. Anyway, I got a good signal, scooped, and in my scoop was a gold ring, which I held up, and asked Jack if he recognized. He looked at it and was able to read an identifying inscription on the inside of the band. He was very happy as he and his wife were getting ready to celebrate their second wedding anniversary. A great night’s sleep was ahead for sure!

I awoke and found I had received an email from Leah. She had been at the beach the day before, when while in the water, she was struck by a wave, and knocked down. When she arose, she realized her ring was gone. Noticing the time the email was sent (12:17 AM), I could tell this was a distraught appeal for help. She told how this was her Grandmother’s wedding ring, a Grandmother I found out later, had passed away. This was a reminder of her Grandmother that she carried with her daily, so it turned out to be a great loss. Leah was not able to meet me at the beach to show me where to look, but had given some information in her email, and also sent me a Google Earth picture with an outline showing the loss area. I went at the earliest low tide that day.

I arrived at the beach, and began my search at one end of the area pictured, and began my grid. I continued my search, with very few targets, for about 1 1/2 hours, with no ring. I finished what I thought was the limit for that direction, and decided to go back to my starting point, and worked the other direction. I made about 4 new passes when that sweet sound came through the head phones, loud and clear. I dug, and in the pile on the edge of the sand was a nice glimmer of gold. I reached down, and picked it out, and it was Leah’s ring. I emailed her right away with excitement, and we arranged to meet the next day make the return. When we met, her mom was with her, and explained the importance the ring to Leah, and how devastated she was when it was lost. Leah was very happy when I gave it back, and her smile says it all!

Leah sent the following testimonial:

After I lost the ring, I just kept telling myself that it’s okay and it’s just a ring. But it kept bothering me and I felt so sad as if I lost someone. I lost the ring in the afternoon and I was still up and crying about it past midnight. I really couldn’t believe that I had just lost something so important me so fast. At one moment I was having fun with my friends splashing in the shallow waves (and making sure my ring was on and safe). The next minute later, I was trying to get up from being hit with a scary wave and then I realized my ring was gone.

I already felt much better after contacting Steve. Knowing that someone would still be searching for the ring, comforted me and I had hope! Once the ring was found, I literally felt “in balance” again. The ring was my late grandma’s and wearing it everyday for over three years now has always kept me tied to her. Having it back felt like I had a part of my grandma with me again.

Steve was incredibly kind when we met each other. His dedication and passion really meant a lot to me, he truly cares about his work!! I will always remember this story and Steve!

Thank you Steve!!!!
Leah

Lit Papi (Stage Name) called me last night explaining that he lost his girlfriend’s ring at the beach. I had just finished dinner, poured myself a cup of coffee, and let him know I would be on my way.

When I arrived Lit Papi met me and showed me where they had been sitting and explained what happened. The area was not large, so I knew this would be a quick search. I searched on the one side of the area, finding only a nickel. I then began in the other direction, when after one pass, I got a good signal, put in the scoop, which now had the ring inside. He was happy to be able to get his girlfriend’s ring back. They would both sleep well now, I was sure.
