Fairfield CT after a July 4th backyard relay race the recovery of a Gold Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

Claire and her friend were enjoying a fourth of July party in a friends back yard. During a relay race Claire felt the ring slip from her fingers and fly somewhere into the grassy area. She  and her friends searched the area on their hands and knees  for hours and could not find the ring. Claire by chance saw the news broadcast about my helping people recover lost jewelry in Fairfield and asked if I could take a look. I arrived and found out there was one potentially major problem. The yard had an electric fence and the interference it caused made me reduce my sensitivity significantly. I asked Claire to reenact the event as best as she could remember to put me close tot he area. After balancing the frequency in my detector I got my first gold tone signal. Putting the pin pointer to the ground clearly told me we had a good target just below the surface. Putting my fingers into the soil under the grass a gold ring popped out of the grass and into my hand. I showed her what I had just found and she stared in disbelief that I was able to get it, especially after they had spent hours searching for it. we did a reenactment on video for her friends and family to see the moment she was surprised , that video was fun to make and capture the essence of what it feels like to return a sentimental item

I also learned better how to deal with the electric fences so if this happens again I would be ready. I did not see the two dogs until after the hunt was over but I’m glad I had returned to the car when they came out to protect their property.

Fairfield CT Jennings Beach Water recovery July 15, 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

Lou and his family were at Jennings beach in Fairfield and enjoying a day in the water when suddenly while playing tag in three feet of water he noticed his wedding ring had fallen off. In a frantic effort to find it he put on his sons swim goggle and search the murky waters. He had resolved himself to the fact that the ocean had concealed it and he might have to purchase a new ring. His wife decided to put a post in social media if anyone found a ring at Jennings to let them know. One name popped into the post and said get Wayne Aguiar. A person that follows me knew I had been successful kin previous returns and thought i might be able to help. Lou found my contact information online and gave me a call late in the day. I promised I would go that night and take advantage of the tides. When I arrived a bad thunderstorm was passing through the area and the water was unsafe. I called off the search for safety’s sake and came the next morning before the beach officially opened. Lou met me there and pointed out the general area that he last remembered the ring while playing tag with his kids. It took a couple of hours and dumping buckets of trash before a I had a good signal. I dug out the signal which was around 6 inches and dumped out the scoop onto the beach. The ring miraculously rolled out of the scoop and Lou jumped down and placed it on his finger exclaiming to everyone around I had found his ring. we celebrated with selfies and again I gave Lou a St Anthony medal as a keep sake for his family. The next day Lou was very happy and in shock and disbelief I was able to find it. He contacted the Channel 12 news station and submitted pictures and selfies that we had taken after the recovery. The news station liked the pictures and the story and decided to have a televised interview. I was on another ring recovery in RI so I zoomed into the interview and shared our stories.

Old Lyme , CT Platinum Diamond Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

Old Lyme CT, July 27. What started as a Christmas in July celebration at the beach with over 150 guest became a frantic search for a lost platinum diamond ring. Kristina the coordinator of the event was playing with the children handing out gifts and dancing with them under a huge tent. Line dancing around all the tables and tlo the gift distribution area. After stopping at her table she noted that two of her three rings were almost falling off her finger and the large diamond ring was missing. In a frantic search the crowd started searching the area kicking sand , kids digging into the sand and even a child’s detector was employed. Quick action by Alison reached out to me from social media and gave me the situation. In about 30 minutes I was onsite and assessing the situation. The area was trampled and it became clear there was no clear idea of where it could have been lost. I started but using a standard coil covering and gridding the area closest to where she noticed it had been missing. The tables and chairs were moved when possible to allow better access and everyone was supportive. I started by giving Kristina who said she was catholic and seeking help a St Anthony medal to pray for her lost items and many of the guests started doing the same. At one pint everyone left the area to go to sleep and I remained but changed my strategy and used a smaller sniper coil to better get between the tables. After about a half hour a weak but repeatedly signal in the range of  platinum was identified. The soft sand was pinpointed and at a depth of 6-7 inches a solid ping was detected, sifting the sand with my fingers I felt the band of the ring and a glitter of platinum ion the sand and brought it to the surface.  Some passing relatives contacted her and she jumped into a golf cart and came straight to the tent where her ring awaited her. We had several precious and emotional minutes where she came to terms it had been found and that her and the other peoples prayers to St Anthony were heard. A miracle had just been witnessed.

 

Lost Ring in Rental Car near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho….Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

The thought to remove one’s ring before doing an activity may very well save the rings from being lost. However, for Linda the act of taking off her rings was what led to the disappearance for her wedding ring. While traveling in their rental car to their next destination, Linda decided to put on some sunscreen. The car her husband was driving had a large console in the middle of the car. On the console was a sliding door with a lip around the outside. A very nice resting place for her two wedding rings. Although the lip around the door was sufficient, the inertia caused by a right-hand turn sent the two rings flying. The large engagement ring stayed on the door, but the smaller thinner band had a mind of its own.

The car made it to its destination, Linda and Jeffery her husband, nonchalantly began to look for the lost ring. It must be on the floorboard they thought. So, under the floor mat they looked. They also looked under the seat and on the side of the seat. Their mood changed dramatically, a lost and hopeless wave covered over their minds. The family they were with, began to help the search. Linda’s lost ring was lost for good.

Lost for good, is where the search for The Ring Finders begins.

I was out with my family when a text message showed up. Linda wanted my help with the ring in the car. The time that the car had to be returned put a rush on me getting to the rental car. With all of my lost jewelry searches I bring as much gear that I can to help me with the task. For Lindas search, I had my two stream lights, a tool called a stick, a borescope, and a no quit attitude. Every step I take on a car search is to eliminate each and every hiding spot. After searching front to back and top to bottom, I got my borescope and began looking into the cracks of the car. On the last pass of the passenger side seat, I was able to look into the console to see the void that was under the sliding door. In the far-left corner, I saw the perfect shape of a ring. The further I moved toward the ring revealed the diamonds around the edge of the ring.

Leaping with excitement inside myself, I tried to calmly say that « I found the ring ». I knew the really tough part of this search had just begun. Extracting the ring from the car would ultimately cause the ring to fall deeper into the subfloor. At which point the Ford mechanics had to step in. Two techs had to take the car apart enough to lift the console up. With the pictures Linda had taken, the men knew where to look for the ring and were successful in retrieving it.

This search took many hands to complete the mission, and I truly feel that all Ring Finders are superheroes, but even Batman had Robin.

Ring found at Bolsa Chica Beach with Metal Detector

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)

I was sent a google map location at Bolsa Chica Beach via text to search for a tungsten ring. These are more difficult when the person can’t meet you in person.
I sent pictures to verify which fire pit he was at. I circled the fire pit and on the 5th time around I found his ring. Drive to Long Beach to drop off his ring but forgot to take a picture of him with the ring.

White gold wedding band lost, then found with a metal detector in Nashville, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

Danny found me on TheRingFinder website after losing his white gold wedding band at a park in Nashville, TN. He had been carrying it in his hand when it slipped out and flew into some grass. He was pretty confident it was in an area about 20 feet by 20 feet. After asking Danny a few questions, I asked him to start a timer. Nineteen minutes into the search with my Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector, I found the ring several feet outside of the 20’ by 20’ search area where Danny thought the ring would be. It was concealed in the 3” tall grass and would have been difficult, if not impossible, to locate without a detector. It was Danny’s information that put me close enough for the ring to be found. He was elated that I found his ring, which is obvious by the huge smile on his face. To make this story even better, a gentleman walked by and congratulated Danny on having his ring found. Come to find out they grew up in the same neighborhood in another state. What a great day to not only re-unite Danny with his lost wedding band, but also have Danny be re-united with an old friend.

I was contacted by Jennifer after being tagged multiple times on a social media post. Jennifer explained that her husband had taken a surfing lesson on his birthday on Queen St beach in Cape May. During the lesson, his necklace broke and he lost his late daughters memoriam charms in the surf. I chatted back and forth with Jennifer and gathered some specific details. Took a ride over and checked at low tide this morning around 6:30am. After about an hour of searching the surf I was able to recover the charms and reunite them with Phil and Jennifer. Another happy couple!
