Wedding Ring Lost in Whangarei Harbour 5 Months ago – Found!

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:
Caroline sent me a message a couple of days ago explaining her husband had lost his gold and platinum wedding ring while swimming off Waikaraka Beach in Whangarei, would I be able to assist?
The catch was, he lost it five months ago and it could have been anywhere within a couple of acres of rocky shore, or possibly further out in the harbour silts.
The big plus was, being an inner harbour beach, there would have been no significant wave action and subsequent shifting of sediments that would occur on the ocean coast.
The negative being that being so shallow, there was a good chance it had landed somewhere that dried at low tide and it had been picked up while it lay on the surface.
I duly arrived just after noon on Saturday and followed the falling tide down, extending the search out into the harbour to the point where the mud started getting deep.
After five hours, with the tide rapidly reclaiming the beach and night falling, I reluctantly called it quits.
I sent a message to Caroline advising I had unfortunately been unsuccessful, and started the long drive home.
That night, I couldn’t get one specific area out of my mind – I hadn’t been as thorough as usual in this region due to excessive oysters and the fact I was wearing neoprene boots.
This mental splinter hassled me to the point where, at 2am, I got back in the car and drove the 100km back to Whangarei for the 4am low.
There was no moon, but sufficient glow from the city lights to work. A cold 3°C morning without a breath of wind made for a surreal experience, wading through the glassy shallows (in heavy duty boots this time) under a cloudless southern hemisphere Milky Way.
It took about an hour and a half to search the area, but sure enough, next to a collection of submerged rocks lay Hughs ring.
Stained from its time in the mud, I gave it a polish after I had wandered back to the car and dried off.
Once warmed up and with some sleep, I messaged Caroline the good news at a more civilised hour.
She was down there in a shot!
Hugh was working elsewhere on their property at the time, but Caroline was going to put it next to his breakfast plate for when he returned 🙂

Gold Signet Ring Lost for Four Years-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Mike on Tuesday 28th and he said he had lost his gold signet ring in his backyard several years ago.  He said they were moving and the ring was a gift from his wife and he really wanted to find it before they moved.  We made arrangements for Wednesday afternoon.  Around four years ago he had been clearing brush in the backyard and towards the end of the day he noticed his ring was gone.  They had been piling the brush next to the street on the side yard, so that’s where I started my search.  I really didn’t think the ring would be there, but I had to eliminate that area of possibility.  The huge problem I had to deal with was underground power lines next to the street, (around 14 KV), and it was really messing with my detector.  I had to go very slow in that area until I got far enough away that my detector started to settle down a little.  After a little over an hour I finally eliminated the side yard.  The back of the house had a pretty steep slope that was covered in pine straw mulch.  I know from experience that pine straw on a slope can be very slippery.  He had mentioned that he had slipped a couple of times on that slope, but didn’t remember exactly where that happened.  That’s where I focused my attention next, and after I looked at it more carefully, towards the corner of the house the slope wasn’t quite as steep, so I figured anybody coming through that area would would pick that spot.  As I got halfway down the slope I got a consistent 12:20 on my CTX, and it was shallow, (showing one inch).  If you’re looking for a gold ring that’s a very good signal.  I brushed the straw away and didn’t see anything visible, but my pinpointer said there was something there just under the surface.  I brushed the soil a little with my fingers and saw the corner of a gold rim showing through!  I called Mike over, as he was just about to go back in the house.  His wife came out and she was elated!  She said she figured it was gone and never to be found again.  I think I was as excited as they were, because that was a tough search having to deal with the underground power lines.  Knowing your machine, and asking the right questions makes all the difference.  The entire search took around two hours.

Lost Ring Found in Wakefield RI.

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

On June 5, I received a call from Sarah, requesting help to find a ring she had lost in her yard. When I arrived, she explained that the ring was her father’s ring and that he passed away recently.  She had his ring on her thumb and was doing some yard work.  When she noticed that the ring was missing, she called a friend, who I had helped to find a ring a couple of years ago.  The friend recommended that Sarah call me. I searched her yard and was concerned, because it was getting dark.  After 45 minutes of searching, I located the ring.  She was so happy to have her father’s ring back, and I was excited to be able to reunite her with this precious item.

Successful Recovery Mission: Lost Promise Ring Found at Oxnard Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

Late Monday evening, I received a distressing text from Kaitlyn, seeking assistance in locating a lost promise ring submerged in the surf and wet sand at Oxnard Beach. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, I agreed to undertake the recovery operation early Tuesday morning, capitalizing on the favorable low tide conditions. Armed with their recollection of the approximate location, I embarked on a meticulous three-hour grid search of the designated area. However, despite my efforts, the ring remained elusive.

Undeterred, Kaitlyn and her boyfriend Flavio decided to join forces with me, hoping to improve our chances of success. Early Wednesday morning, Flavio and I returned to the beach, revisiting the same area while taking into account the subtle changes in the landscape caused by shifting sands. Despite expanding our search parameters and meticulously combing the vicinity, our efforts initially proved fruitless. Determined not to concede defeat, I explored alternative areas, including the slope and high tide line.

It was during the painstaking search along the high tide line that my metal detector signaled a potential discovery. With bated breath, I excavated the sand, and to our collective relief, the lost promise ring emerged from its sandy concealment. Flavio, unaware of the successful retrieval, was pleasantly surprised when I presented him with the recovered ring.

This experience underscores the importance of perseverance and the value of seeking professional assistance in recovering lost jewelry. Just as Kaitlyn did, don’t hesitate to reach out immediately at 805-290-5009, and let us initiate the process of reclaiming your cherished possessions.

I received a call from Lindsey on Saturday. She proceeded to tell me she had lost her 14k morganite with diamonds ring in a pond and wondered if I could come and try and find it. I told her that I had to work until Monday. I told her I could be there first thing Tuesday morning. We set everything up and Tuesday morning I headed out.

I got there, got the story and went to work. I was told the ring was lost off the end of the dock on the right-hand side. I tried using a metal detector with a scoop, but the bottom was too mucky. I quickly jumped out and got my Nemo and handheld metal detector and after about 20 bullet casings, I get another signal and when I went to grab it in the dark murky water, I felt my finger go in the hole and I knew I had found Lindsey’s ring!!!

I popped up out of the water with the ring on my finger!! There was a small audience on the dock that couldn’t believe I had found it! I love seeing the smiles and the excitement on individuals faces when I return something so precious to someone.

Lost class ring, Found 22 years later, Sanford, Florida….and returned to owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



A friend of ours told me about her lost diamond engagement ring and said it could have been dropped some where around the house that they used to live in, 20 some years ago! She had a sneaking suspicion that maybe one of her boys had gotten a hold of it and miss placed it either inside the house or maybe dropped it some where outside of the house in the yard…possibly! And since they only moved just across the street it has been easy access to the house and yard for the occasional metal detecting. I had started around the front of the house checking every signal that sounded off in the small gold ring range and I dug plenty of foil, pull tabs and pieces of construction aluminum from when the house was built. Next I went along a small grassy area between the houses and got a strong signal that just begged to be dug up! Four inches down I uncovered a large class ring of someone who graduated in the year 2000. The school name indicated a small Christian school that is no longer functioning but my own children attended that very school back in the day! So I asked around and found the parents of the young man who lost his ring and sure enough….while living in that house he had lost his ring shortly after graduating! I always get a thrill when I find a ring in the ground but it brings special joy when that ring has information on it that helps me return it to the rightful owner. In this case I called one of the parents and asked them about their son and his lost class ring and sure enough, he had lost it shortly after his graduation.
