Married Couple’s Lost Wedding Rings Found on Emerald Isle Beach

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Brittney discovered Crystal Coast Ring Finders through a social media post and reached out for help in finding both her ring and her husband’s. His ring had once belonged to his great-grandfather, making it especially meaningful to recover.

After some conversation and a bit of detective work, I pinpointed the spot where they had spent time on the beach. A few passes later, I found her husband’s ring and knew hers had to be nearby. Sure enough, it turned up about eight feet away within minutes.

Brittney didn’t send any photos after I mailed the rings to the address she provided, so here’s a picture of me holding them before heading to the post office.

Kernersville and High Point, NC items lost. Wedding band recovered.

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

Did my TheRingFinders.com gig Saturday x2. Started the day at 8:00 am sharp 40 minutes from home. Mission was to locate a missing hearing aid. Mr Hall had one so we tested to see how it registered on my Minelab Manticore. It tested as a ferrous only signal 17-20 was very small but could detect @ 6 inches with gain of 15. Unfortunately didn’t find it in the yard after twice gridding 100%. The benefit is at least they know where it’s not and will continue looking in the home.

Ended the day with 4 hours hunting multiple volleyball courts for a men’s platinum wedding band. This ring was lost a week ago. Even though Michael saw it fly away it disappeared in the sand not to be found. He later told me they borrowed a metal detector and couldn’t locate which prompted their call. Since the loss the facility had conditioned the sand and the ring could have been deposited anywhere over the six (6) court complex. As the complex was nearing closing I got that special sound 🙂. Found it (pictured) but it had moved a court away from where thought. Texted photo to Michael asking if it looked familiar to which he replied “Where did you find it?”

Wedding ring lost and found in Boothbay Harbor Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)

I received a call from Kim after her husband Sal dropped his wedding ring between the planks on the  foot bridge into Boothbay Harbor. I was able to quickly locate the ring in 6 feet of water and ensure this newly married couple who were on their honeymoon would return home with only good memories. This was my second recovery at this very same location, having located a diamond and onyx ring a year or two ago that was lost under identical circumstances.

 

Lost Wedding Ring Saucon Valley Country Club, PA… Found!!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
⛳💍 Wedding Ring Recovered at Saucon Valley Country Club!
We were recently contacted by a golfer who lost his wedding ring during a round at Saucon Valley Country Club.
Before teeing off, he did what many of us would think is the safe thing—he placed his wedding ring inside a Tupperware container and tucked it into his golf bag. After the round, he pulled the container out, but the lid unexpectedly popped off. At the time, he assumed the ring had simply fallen deeper into the golf bag.
Unfortunately, when he got home and searched the bag from top to bottom, the ring was nowhere to be found.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting got the call. 📞
We met him at the course and searched the two key locations: where he had originally placed the ring in the container and where he removed the container from his golf bag after the round.
After carefully working the area, we got the signal we were hoping for! 🎯 The ring was recovered about 5 feet outside the area where he thought it had fallen.
This recovery is a great reminder that our memories are rarely as precise as we think they are. Expanding the search area is often the difference between going home empty-handed and reuniting someone with something priceless.
Seeing another wedding ring safely back where it belongs never gets old. ❤️💍
If you’ve lost a ring, keys, jewelry, or another valuable item, don’t give up. Every recovery starts with a phone call.

Lost gold charm, FOUND! By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Ron. Ron explained that his granddaughter’s necklace broke while they were on the beach at Howard Street here in Cape May. His granddaughter was able to locate the broken chain however, there was a charm that was given to her by her mother that disappeared into the sand. Unfortunately, by the time she realized the chain was broken and sliding off the charm was already gone. She believed it may be in the area where they were sitting, but was not certain. I took the short ride over and met them on the beach. Once they moved their chairs and belongings out of the way, I began checking the area around the umbrella. After about a minute and a half of searching, my detector admitted a low growl commonly associated with that of a gold target . One shallow scoop later I had the charm in the scoop. She immediately began crying, and the rest of the beach began clapping. She didn’t think that it could be found given its size, but this is another true example of how even though something is small, the sentimental value attached to it means so much more than the monetary value or the size of the item. Another successful recovery, happy ending!

Lost Hearing Aid found in Sharpsburg, GA by Matt Perdue

  • from Newnan (Georgia, United States)

Dan in Sharpsburg, GA contacted me about a hearing aid he recently lost while doing yard work. Fortunately, he had a good idea of where it came off which greatly helped reduce the search area. It took a few hours, but I finally got my metal detector over it and was able to recover it and return it to him in one piece this morning.

Two Gold Wedding Rings Recovered in Lake Como, WI

  • from Lake Geneva (Wisconsin, United States)

Two Rings Reunited

As I parked my car outside of a lakeside bar in Como, WI, I knew the task ahead would be like none I had encountered before.  Could I locate two lost wedding rings from the same couple?  It was 2:00 pm on July 20th, 2026 and I would soon meet Shauna and Chris to hear their story in person.  Like many of my searches, their story began like so many.  Paraphrasing… « I knew my ring fit loosely and it came off in the water.  I can’t believe I didn’t think to take it off! »

Shauna was playing with her three young daughters, sitting in the shallow water, probably keeping her sharp, motherly eyes on each of them.  Pushing off the rocky bottom of the lake to stand up, she felt the ring slip, release, and disappear.  Carefully padding the lake bottom with a flat hand, only gritty sand and small rocks pushed back.  Her ring was gone.

And then the twist…

When I called her back to arrange for the search, she interrupted with… there’s a bit more to the story and she proceeded to tell me that I would be looking for two rings.  In the moment of losing a precious ring, an overwhelming mixture of emotions are released.  Loss, regret, sadness, anger, hopelessness.  I don’t know what Shauna was feeling, but her husband, Chris, stepped in to help bear the burden.  He said something like… « these rings belong together… » and took off his ring and threw it into the lake.  I listened to their story, paused, and asked, “This is going to sound like a strange question, but are you two fans of [the television show] The Office? »  « Yes! »  they replied, wondering where I was going with the question, but clearly energetic fans of the series.  I pointed to Chris and said, “First, you are the Jim Halpert in this story.”  

In season 6 of The Office, Jim and Pam get married.  

As with most weddings, something inevitably goes wrong and for Pam she accidentally tears her veil.  In the moment, to console her, Jim grabs a pair of scissors and cuts his necktie in half, refocusing Pam that their love is steadfast despite what breaks down around them.  Chris reacted in love, and in my book, that gets the Jim Halpert award.  Shauna later commented it did help her to get through the moment after losing her ring.

In the end, both rings were found.  Shauna’s in shallow water, while Chris’s required some diving to recover it.  Both searches were accomplished in an hour and a half because Chris and Shauna put me in the perfect locations.  Their sharp memories gave me the best chance to use the tools and knowledge of metal detecting to reunite the rings.

FOUND 1973 CLASS RING IN LAKE….RETURNED!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I found this class ring and did the research to try and return it… On 7/15/2026

UPDATE FOUND OWNER OF THE 1973 CLASS RING ON: 7/17/2026

I was able to find the owner of this ring. Turns out the daughter lost it when she was 15 while at a church event. She is 41 now, so it’s been lost for 26 years! We are planning on meeting up next week!!

This was a hard one. There are so many Northeast schools and only two with a Viking mascot. One in FL and one in PA. I had to go to the class of 1973 class page and checked out their class roster and found the only person it could have been. Searched the name on FB. I found a post that had the mom and daughter and I messaged the daughter, after we talked over the phone we confirmed it was the ring she had lost 26 years ago!!!

So glad I was able find it and even more excited that I will be able to return this ring to the family!

UPDATE RETURNED ON: 7/19/2026

I successfully returned the 1973 class ring back to the daughter that lost it 26 years earlier! She is going to surprise her mom with the ring soon.

I loved the research challenge and even more when I found the rightful owner and was able to return it to the family.

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”

Lost ring in Fremont California

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)

A couple of weeks ago Stephen contacted me about his wife’s lost ring.  He said that it was most likely in their back yard, with very specific spots where it could be.  However he mentioned that the only other place it could be was inside their house.  So we agreed that I would search the yard at least to hopefully find the lost ring, or at least eliminate the possibility if we were unsuccessful.

I arrived at Stephen’s house the next day and he outlined the most likely locations of where his wife’s ring was lost.  I got started and after spending about 30 minutes in those locations we decided to expand the search to some less likely spots where his wife remembered being the night she lost her ring.  But further expanding the search area proved fruitless as well.

After checking a couple of very unlikely but possible spots and also double checking the entire perimeter that I had searched, Stephen, his wife, and I discussed the situation again and decided to have them search the inside of their house again.  In talking about their prior search of the house his wife described a rattling sound in the couch when they were searching around in the cushions.  So I said, « You better search that couch again! »  I told them I would be glad to come back if they had any other ideas or wanted more help searching inside their house as well, but that I had a strong suspicion that the ring was in the couch.

Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Stephen texted me that they had found the ring in the couch!  I’m glad the process of elimination resulted in honing down their search area to the next most likely location which turned out to be the exact location that it was lost.
