Salty Brine State beach, Narragansett , Rhode Island ,2 diamond gold wedding and engagement rings, returned 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

July 4, 2025, Ambar a lifelong Rhode Islander never takes her jewelry off at the beach. While playing football with her sons at the water’s edge got hit by a wave that washed her diamond gold wedding and engagement rings off her fingers and disappeared into the ocean. she reached out to a friend of mine Gary who is a local ring finder but was on vacation and he recommended me. We often work as a team and cover and help each other as needed. She called me that night and I was there at 6am before the holiday beach crowds started arriving at the beach. She met me there with her brother-in-law and we walked to the spot on the beach where they had been playing. Considering there was a pretty bad storm that suddenly passed through the area over night I started a gridded search of the area and immediately got a great signal at the water’s edge just as the tide was coming in. I scooped up the target and brought it up to her and with the aid of my pin pointer I saw the glint of gold and diamonds in the sand and handed her the engagement ring. One found was a very good sign, I knew the other had to be close to the first one. The incoming tides and wave action was making things a bit more difficult. I was getting a lot of interference and false signals. After calibrating my machine, I got a weaker but still a solid target signal. I scooped up signal and laid it down next to her.  A few seconds later using the pin pointer a diamond wedding band was now popping out of the sand. It took only about ten minutes to get both rings back on her fingers. It actually took me an hour to get there but it was worth every minute to see how happy I made her feel.  Her brother-in-law was stunned and could not believe I was able to recover them. He then took my phone and started taking pictures of the happy occasion. As we were leaving, she excitedly was telling all the incoming beach goers waiting in long lines of our success. I called Gary to thank him for the referral and together as a team we brought the rings back home. Thanks to St Anthony and praise God we were successful. Miracles do happen and have faith and never give up hope. we see miracles every day.

Received a message from Victor last Sunday. He explained that he lost a rose gold ring while at the beach last Saturday. Victor had already returned back home to Philadelphia but he did mark his location with a “pin” from his cell phone. He wasnt sure if it was in the dry sand or water but he did believe it may have dropped where he was sitting. Took a ride over Monday morning and proceeded to the coordinates he provided. After a brief search I heard a faint signal and dug down about 1ft, out came Victors ring! After sharing the good news I shipped the ring back to him and he received it yesterday. Another happy client!!
Victors Review:
“I am still amazed by Jeff’s work and diligence in helping me recover my lost wedding band. When my ring went missing at the beach, I thought for sure that I’d never see it again. Jeff found my ring a full 24+ hours later buried at least A FOOT in sand. I’m relieved that there are caring people out there like Jeff. I’m forever grateful for his service and would recommend him a million times over.”

Joanne reached out to our group page @ The Ring Finders New Jersey after her husband lost his gold ring while setting up their beach cabana. I was also tagged multiple times on another local page. The BEST part of contacting our group page is that there is typically always someone available, no matter where you are located along the NJ coastline a member of our team is typically always available. Joannes message was sent out to me as I am literally 10 minutes from Cape May, The Wildwoods, Stone Harbor, & Avalon. I took the short ride over and met up with Joanne & her friends, after a brief search of their area I had her husbands ring in my scoop. Another happy client!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Sand at Santa Monica Beach…Found and Happily Returned

Yun called me to ask if I could help find his wedding ring. He had been at Muscle Beach in Santa Monica on the equipment, and put his ring in his pocket. After he was done he reached into his pocket to retrieve the ring, and with the flick of his hand, his ring flew into the sand. Although he searched diligently for it, it was nowhere to be found. We arranged a time to meet there, and I was on my way.

When I got there Yun, his new bride (they were on their honeymoon from South Korea), and his friend Tae met me to show me where the loss occured. I began my search covering the area showed to me, finding some small pieces of metal, but not the ring. Then I began to widen the search area going out grid line by grid line. I got a great double signal steady in the headphones, put the scoop in, and had the ring. Yun and his bride were very happy, and thankful to have the ring back, and it was great that their honeymoon was not spoiled. Their rings matched, which was nice.

 

Phone lost at Coronado beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Andrea was spending the day at the beach with her family. Her kids and other kids near by were having fun playing and digging in the sand. Time to go and ooops, her phone is missing. In searching best as she could, still no phone would go home. I was contacted later and received the details I needed to conduct the search. There was still a « find my phone » signal coming from the loss area, so, it’s likely still there. Andrea was not able to meet me there at that time, but, I wanted to jump on it right away as that beach gets detected often. With the directions I needed, I set up a grid area as best I could considering that there were lots of people in that area that might be in the way. I started in the open spots before having to ask people to move. Luckily, I got a great booming signal on my Equinox 900 after only a couple of passes. It read pretty deep though and I thought it was just going to be a quarter or an aluminum can. Well, over a foot down, I found her phone, still on and still working! It must have fallen into one of the many holes dug by the children. A text later found a happy Andrea going to get her phone back. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Gold Ring Lost in Santa Monica Backyard…Found and Joyfully Returned.

Please don’t wait any longer because time will induce variables that will make the recovery of your lost item more difficult! Steve 310-953-5268

Alan called asking for help in finding a ring his wife had lost in their back yard. I was doing a search in a burned home in the Palisades at the time of the call, and told Alan I would be able to help him after I was finished.

When I got there Alan introduced me to his wife Ronnie, and she took me to the backyard showing me the area of the loss. It wasn’t very big, but the grass was tall and thick which would hide a ring easily. I began my search working the open area with no luck. Then I began working around some pots and pallets in the area. At the corner of one of the pallets I received a solid signal, put my pinpointer in, and found her ring. It had been her grandmother’s ring, and she became very emotional when I gave it back to her. It turned out to be a great day.
