Custom Made Mens Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Rockford Illinois.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from John on 5-20-26. He told me that he had lost his ring somewhere around his house the day before. We agreed to meet up the following day. The next day when I arrived I met John and he lead me to the backyard where he told me what all him and his neighbors were doing the day before and where. At some point while driving golf balls in the neighbors yard John noticed that his ring was lose so he took it off and put it in his pocket for safe keeping.  It wasn’t until later when he went to put his ring back on, that he noticed that his shorts had a hole in the pocket, and the ring was missing! I asked him about where he was standing when he took the ring off, and he showed me. So I started there. I did a basic grid search, starting on one side of the yard and working towards my left. On the second pass I got a solid, double tapping, 72 VDI signal on the DĒUS II. When I looked down I could just barely see a outline of John’s custom made 18K gold wedding ring tucked into his neighbors plush lawn!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

 

Lost White Gold Wedding Ring in Ponderay Lake….Found!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

A Memorial Day vacation for Constantine and Silvana was winding down. All the fun filled activities planned for that weekend were almost completed. However, Constantine had one last challenge to attempt. He and his buddy wanted to do a cold plunge in the frigid waters of the Ponderay lake. Gritting his teeth as the cold-water bit into his feet, Constantine stepped quickly onto his paddle board. Then Constantine paddled out into about seven feet of water. After a few encouraging words from his family, he dove into the murky green water. As Constanine kicked off the board, the board floated quickly away from him. The shock of the ice-cold water gave Constantine a boost of energy, so he swam quickly to retrieve his board. Reaching for the edge of the paddle board, the wedding ring he was wearing left his finger and sank quickly into the lake. There was a video taken of Constanine during his cold plunge experiment. This gave me the confidence I needed when I showed up to search for his lost ring. I was told that the video showed him with and without the ring. Also, I got a forewarning for the ice-cold water. So, I brought all of my cold-water gear. The first few steps into the water gripped my ankles as the water made its way into my dive boots. The rest of my suit kept out the cold fingers of the winter snow runoff water. There was a distinct L shape Constanine made, while swimming around. I started at the very end of that L and made my way to where Constanine had jumped off and then climbed back onto the board. Each passing second seemed like an eternity to Silvana as she watched me searching. Silvana was probably playing the wedding over and over in her head because they had just gotten married two months before. The new wedding ring that Constanine had just started wearing, already held a lot of memories and sentiment to the both of them. At the very moment when hope was fading as I came close to the end of the L shape, I saw a very round shape sitting in the rocks. My first attempt to pick the ring up with the scoop failed. The water was just a little too deep, because as I tried to dive down, the buoyancy of my suit shot me back up to the surface. After failing twice, I collected myself and yelled to the crowd watching, “I found It!”. Their cheers put me back into the mindset I needed. My scoop was to my left sitting motionless. I grabbed it and went at the ring again. This time the ring fell gently into my scoop. As I passed my scoop up to Constantine, the whole dock worth of people where smiling and cheering. I have had a lot of scoops full that revealed a valuable item, but none of them felt as good as a successful ring find does. Blessings to you Constantine and Silvana, may God Bless your marriage and life together. Thank you for trusting The Ring Finders you two.

Claddaugh ring lost, recovered and returned in Boulder, Co

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Olive lost her gold claddagh ring. She walked up to her friends house, as she approached the door she waved excitedly and felt the ring fly off. I should have taken a pic of the whole front yard but as you can see how thick the greenery and ivy were. She rented a metal detector but did not know how to use it. This is a common thing so if you don’t know how to use one ask someone that does. It will save you so much time and money. After about 45 minutes of not being able to find it myself with the detector I started shaking the ivy growing on the house. I tried looking down to see if it may have fallen. I was about 1/3 of the way when I looked down directly from the mailbox and saw a SMALL hint of gold. I thought it was foil it was so small but it was the ring. Tiny fingers. Tiny ring. The story of the claddagh ring is beautiful.

Rose gold wedding ring recovered in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)


This gentleman lost his beautiful rose gold wedding band while walking to his car at night. He felt it fall off but did not see where it went and with all the snow it had made it difficult. After a couple of hours searching he found me on Ring Finders. It was late but reassured him we’d be there in the morning before all the busy traffic started in that area. He explained what had happened, walking on a sidewalk in a busy area full of restaurants. We got so lucky that there was an open space in the street parking area close to where he lost it. I quickly had him stand in that area assuring no car would park there while I searched. I quickly found his ring up along the curb embedded in snow. Looks like cars were pushing it and compacting the snow against the curb. Happy tears as he was just recently married. This is what I enjoy about metal detecting.

LOST RING FOUND SCUBA – WHITEWATER LAKE, WHITEWATER, WI

  • from Carmel (Indiana, United States)

Whitewater, Wisconsin, resident Robert was launching his kayak on Lake Whitewater when he slipped on the precarious seawall boulders and fell into the lake. Shortly after, he checked his hand, and his heart sank as he noticed his wedding ring was missing.

Each successive summer, he and the kids would dive down and visually scan the area with goggles and flashlights in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of the missing ring. Three years later, I received a call from a different Lake Whitewater resident, Brian, who had contracted me to find a lost watch off his dock. He mentioned that a neighbor of his, Robert, had lost a wedding ring three years earlier and put me in contact with him.

After concluding the search for Brian’s watch, I walked two houses down to Robert’s property. I waded out into the chilly lake and began searching just off the shoreline. The bottom of the lake was rocky with a dense clay layer, which proved difficult to dig through while retrieving signals. After clearing all the promising signals from the area, I figured the ring may have ventured into the seawall from strong waves over the years. I donned my scuba equipment and blindly inspected each crevasse between the boulders. Deep underneath one boulder, I received a strong hit from my handheld metal detecting probe, and Robert’s ring surfaced.

Both Robert and his wife were ecstatic to have the wedding ring back on his finger and to finally bring their summer search expeditions to an end. If you or someone you know has lost a ring on land, in water, or in an area requiring scuba, give me a call. I love reuniting people with what was once thought to be lost forever.

 

Handmade wedding band ring recovered Louisville, Colorado

“Objects with sentimental value are treasures that money can’t buy.”

Justine said “it doesnt have a lot of monetary value” but she made her own wedding ring as well as her husband’s. So you can imagine how special this ring was to her. She was visiting from out of town with her family and decided to play basketball with her son at a park nearby. She was sure she had lost it on the blacktop because that’s when she noticed something was not right. Quickly realizing her ring was gone, with her son’s help they searched the blacktop several times over and over. Assuming it had rolled or flew off into the grass, she called for help. I decided to start around the basketball court, did not take long as I did not go out far. With no success I had a hunch to just look over the blacktop before i expanded my search area. It was a small court so my guess was probably not there. But as soon as I took 2 steps onto it I saw my favorite color of blue. There it was. Maybe sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes searching without emotion. Can you spot the ring on the blacktop?

Lost wedding band found and returned in Littleton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Testimonial:
Wow. Absolutely incredible, unforgettable experience.

What I thought was a normal Saturday went a little sideways when my wife realized she had accidentally lost her wedding band and engagement ring!

Luckily we found her engagement ring on the driver’s seat of her car, but after 2 hours of scouring the car, the area around the car, and the landscaping around that, we started to worry the wedding band was gone for good..

I was googling what metal detector works best for white gold when reddit recommended I try ring finders. When I hopped on ring finders Stephanie Hobbs was the closest ring finder to me, and I gave her a call!

She immediately answered and was able to be at our place looking in 1 hour, and for a very small reasonable flat fee!!!!

Her and her boyfriend Jeff both responded to our apartment, and after about 15 minutes of looking THEY FOUND THE RING, tucked away behind the TIRE OF OUR NEIGHBORS CAR. My wife and I had both LAID DOWN looking there multiple times! But what we didn’t have was Stephanie’s INCREDIBLE eye !!!
While this happened Jeff was painstakingly fishing his endoscope camera UNDER THE CARPET OF MY WIFE’S CAR WHERE THE WIRES GO to make triple sure that the ring didn’t roll down there somehow!!

The whole time we are chatting with Stephanie and Jeff realizing these might be two of the nicest, most kind hearted people we have ever run into. Absolutely amazing people to chat with and hang out with, all while being absolutely PHENOMENAL at ring finding.

I honestly don’t know what to say, my wife and I will never forget this day and will plan to stay in touch with Stephanie and Jeff in case they ever need anything.

 

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Lost/Found Gold Ring Wedding Set In Milton, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 05/05/26, I received a call from Randy requesting my help in finding a gold ring wedding set that belonged to his wife Carole. Randy said that the wedding set had been lost in the grass at the rear of their residence while Carole was hanging up their wash on the clothes line to dry. Randy said that Carole felt the two rings as they slipped off her finger but upon searching the grass under the clothes line the rings were no where to be found. Upon responding to Randy and Caroles residence I started to search the grass under the clothes line with my metal detector. After a few minutes into the search I determined that the grass so short and dry that if the rings were on the ground it would be possible to see and recover them by searching by eye sight. I determined that the rings were not on the ground under the clothes line. I noticed that Carole had hung up a fitted bed sheet on the clothes line so that it could dry. I grabbed my pin pointer and ran it along the bottom of the fitted sheet at which time my pin pointer began to sound off. The two lost rings had slid off of Caroles finger and landed in the bottom of the fitted sheet, Carole removed the rings from the sheet and placed them back on her finger where they belonged.
