Joel called and said he believed he lost his family heirloom gold wedding ring while removing leaves from his yard. He said he got my phone number from theringfinders.com. I told him not to disturb the leaves that he bagged and do not rake any more leaves. I drove the 90 miles from Kerrville to Joel’s house in New Braunfels, Texas. Within 10 minutes I had recovered Joel’s ring slightly buried in the earth below a pile of leaves. Joel was ecstatic to have his ring back. Joel said he thought about renting or buying a metal detector but realized he wouldn’t know how to properly use it. Smart man Joel! Leave it to the experts, contact theringfinders.com when you lose you precious items.
Jeremy, thank you so much. Backstory: this is a custom wedding band that reflects our shared love of Lord of the Rings trilogy story. We’ve read the books and watched the movies many, many times. I was doing yard work and pulling weeds. I noticed the ring was missing when I went to throw the weeds in the yard waste dumpster. I was searching through the yard waste dumpster, the trash bag I had just taken out, and crawling around the area I was doing yard work for 2 days. That’s when we found your website. You found the ring within 10 minutes or less and were a pleasure to work with. We’d recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services. Thank you!!
It all started with a text from Mike on Saturday evening – his wife Janine had lost her custom 8-diamond wedding ring back in the spring of 2023. They had tried everything: bought a metal detector (but had no idea how to use it) and enlisted 8 friends to help search the yard – all without luck.
The ring had gone missing while Janine was mowing the lawn, likely bouncing out of her sweatshirt pocket. I knew this wasn’t going to be a typical ring recovery. A heavy gold ring lost that long wouldn’t just be on the grass – it would be in the dirt.
Despite the 3-hour commute, cold 45-degree rain, and muddy conditions, I got to work. After digging around 60 holes across their 1.5-acre yard and 3 hours of searching… success! The ring was just a few feet off the driveway.
When Janine saw it, she burst into tears, gave me the biggest hug, and said she thought she’d never see it again.
There’s no better feeling than helping someone recover a symbol of love and memories they thought were lost forever.

I got a call from a nice young lady named Glory who after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute was unwinding with friends and playing some volleyball in the grass when a spike sent her grandmother’s ring flying off her finger somewhere into the grass. She along with her friends had spent hours looking for it but couldn’t find it so they took to the internet and found metal detection expert Dave MacDonald and set up a time for me to come out.
I couldn’t get up there the same day so I promised Glory I would get there at sun up the next day. She was a little nervous because she needed to go back home to Berkeley but I assured her that once I found it I would promptly mail it back to her. The sun was just coming up when I arrived in the hills of Summerland and I met the security guard on campus and coordinated a grid pattern to make sure I would get my Minelab Manticore coil over the ring. After three passes I got a high hit on the manticore and I pulled out my pinpointer to verify a surface target and after pulling the grass apart there sat embedded in the grass a beautiful old 24k gold ring.
I showed the security guard the ring and we concluded it had to be the one and I took a photo of it and sent it to Glory. As we figured it was her grandmother’s ring, now on it’s way back home where it belongs.

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, the perfect opportunity for Lisa and her friends to enjoy some time at the beach. What they didn’t plan for, however, was losing her rings in the soft, sugar-like sand so typical of these beaches. After searching for a while with no luck, someone in the group suggested calling NJ Ring Finder for help. Having heard about many successful recoveries on Long Beach Island and nearby areas, they were hopeful it wouldn’t be a wasted call.
Once I got the call, we arranged to meet shortly after. As I walked down the dune path towards the beach, I saw the group gathered in a large circle around their chairs, securing the area where the rings were lost. After a quick conversation to get the details, I got to work, carefully moving my metal detector’s coil back and forth across the sand.
Within just a few passes, the detector gave off a low, steady tone. I had a strong feeling this was it, and sure enough, BINGO—it was her ring! Everyone was amazed at how quickly the recovery happened.
Another successful search in the books. I love this job—saving vacations and creating lasting memories!

I got a call from Britany yesterday where she explained that her husband had inadvertantly lost his wedding ring while participating at a surf contest at Leo Carrillo State beach in Malibu. The event was the Northern LA Boardriders October surf event.
After finishing his set her husband came back in and forgot he had placed his wedding ring inside his wetsuit for safekeeping and when he took it off the ring came out and went lost into the dry sand. They knew the general area so finding it wasn’t going to be an issue for a metal detector expert so within a minute or two the lost ring was returned to it’s rightful owner and all was well at the beach.

I received a call from Paula who had lost her two tone Black Hills gold ring while doing yard work earlier this summer. The ring was a gift from her husband when his service to our country in the Air Force took him to South Dakota over 40 years ago. I headed to Augusta after work today and was able reunite Paula after a 15 minute search of her lawn.
Andrea called me pretty frantic. She explained how her wedding ring set has 3 pieces and after returning from the gym she walked into her bedroom to prepare to shower. Before she was able to take her rings off, two of them just fell off her finger onto the floor next to the bed and nightstand. She was able to find one of the weddings bands and the other was still on her finger but her diamond engagement ring was nowhere to be found. She and her husband searched for an entire week even taking the bed and nightstand apart, still unable to find the ring. She said they were about to make an insurance claim but wanted to hire someone with expertise to search before making the insurance claim. I assured her that the ring did not vanish and we would find it. I arrived at her house with the tools needed to find her ring. Her bedroom floor was a laminate which would allow the ring to bounce. Within 2-3 minutes I was able to find her ring wedged into one of the nightstand legs. The ring was not in plain sight to the naked eye and somehow when the ring fell off her finger it bounced off the floor and under the nightstand, then wedged into the corner of the nightstand leg which had a wood support about 3″ off the floor. Her husband started that he had taken everything out of the nightstand and turned the entire nightstand over searching of the ring. She was so excited that it was found she asked if she can hug me, then her husband asked to hug me also.

I lost my engagement ring in my house and was panicking when I couldn’t find it after searching for hours daily tearing the house apart.
