LOST A RING?
DON’T WAIT TO CALL!

Nayan was enjoying a beautiful day on the beach in Longport, NJ, when his wedding band slipped off into the sand while he was handing it to his wife. Understandably, panic set in as they searched desperately for the precious ring.
I received the call to help and arrived on the scene shortly after. With my trusty metal detector and a keen sense of optimism, I got the details and began the search. It only took two passes, and there it was – the lost wedding band! Just a few swings later, Nayan’s ring was back where it belonged. The family could finally go back to enjoying their day at the beach in the Longport, NJ!

Got a call this morning from a lady that had lost her 14k gold ring with some heirloom diamonds/sapphires that she had specially made. She lost it in Lake James near Charolette, NC. 3.5 hr drive (one way)
She lost it off a dock at a friends house. She was stepping down to get into her kayak when she grabbed the wire/cable of the ramp to the boat dock. As she grabbed it the cable caught the ring (it has a cut out in it) and pulled it off of her finger. She thought it had fallen straight down and bounced off her kayak on the right hand side of the ramp. After almost 5 hours of searching the right side I expanded and moved to the left side. After about 30 more mins I found her ring! It was a very choppy signal on the AT MAX I think because of the cut in the ring and the clay in the lake.
But I didn’t give up! She knew it was there and I wasn’t giving up until I found it. 5.5 hours later it was found and back on her finger where it belonged!
I managed to surprise her with the return too! Love making folks happy again when I find something they feared was lost forever.

Got a call from a gentleman that found me online. His wife had lost both of her wedding rings while taking pine straw from some bushes, dropping it as she worked in the cold weather.
At some point both of her rings slipped off her finger and into the pine straw/leaves and they couldn’t find them!
After arriving I found out it was two rings when I thought it was just one ring. About 30 mins later she had both rings back where they belonged!!
These are truly moments I live for!!

Got a call last week about a gentleman that had lost his rose gold wedding band while planting azaleas at his house.
He had an exact copy of that ring and I was able to get the exact VDI (VDI 87) of the lost ring! It took me about a min to find his ring!
He and his wife couldn’t believe I had found it so fast!

On Thursday afternoon, December 7th, 2023, I received a call from Joe stating he had lost his large 14K yellow gold and diamond retirement ring he had custom designed 14 years ago. The ring has an intricate design of a prized elk Joe had gotten while on a hunting trip in Canada. The ring is one of a kind and very sentimental. Joe thought it came off while he was smashing and throwing pumpkins out in his backyard to feed deer. Joe lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, which is about an hour and a half drive from where I live in Huntsville, Alabama. I don’t mind driving and actually enjoy making these trips, but the search would have to wait until Saturday since I had to work at my regular day job on Friday. I told Joe that the ring wouldn’t go anywhere since it was on his private property.
I made the drive to Brentwood, TN early Saturday morning. We had the threat of severe weather in the afternoon, so I wanted to beat the storms. Before my trip, I prayed for safe travels, good weather, and a successful ring recovery. I met Joe and his wife, Lesly, at their home around 8:30 AM. Joe and I walked out to his backyard. He showed me how he would smash small to medium sized pumpkins by throwing them very hard at tree roots on the ground to break up the pumpkins, and then throw the pieces in the woods/field for the deer to eat. He didn’t feel or see the ring come off, but thought this would be the most likely chance when it did. I had Joe re-enact the throws with the test ring I brought. Both Joe and I thought the ring came off on the smashing action, so I started in that area.
I had my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil for this search due to the large area to cover. I started my grid search and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the ground was (little to no trash). This would help speed up the search. Joe hung around for a few minutes to see how it was going, but then headed off to wash his truck.
There were a few good sounding shallow signals that I checked along the way, but no ring so far. About 20 minutes into the search and I had a loud tone. I swung my metal detector to the side and saw that beautiful gold rim gleaming back up at me. It was Joe’s ring!!! I took off my gloves, powered off my detector and set it on the ground. I didn’t touch the ring, because I wanted Joe to see how it looked—just slightly covered with a leaf.
I turned around and saw that Joe was busy washing his truck. Lesly was on the porch watching me. I gave her a big smile and two thumbs up. She yelled, “you found it!?” I said, “got it!” Joe heard this and just about lost his mind (in a good way lol). He ran over and gave me the biggest hug, thanked me profusely, and told me he loved me lol! It’s really hard to put into words the reaction us Ring Finders get when we find and return someone’s very sentimental ring or item. I can say that it’s one of the best feelings in the world and truly feels like my purpose in life. I give all glory to God and thank Him for all these amazing adventures I get to go on and the people I get to meet.
Joe and I took some pictures and headed in the house. I talked with Joe and Lesly for over an hour. I really enjoyed our conversation and thank them for their hospitality. We said our goodbyes and I was on my way back to Huntsville. Looking forward to the next adventure…



I received a call from Jimmy who had lost his wedding ring at dusk while walking the dog in his backyard. I arrived at his house the next day. He said he had searched all over for it but was unable to find it. After asking him multiple questions, he lead me to the area where he thought he lost it. I thought that this would be fairly easy as it had to be on top and he owned a new modern house, but after listening to the ground for a few minutes I knew that something was not right as there were hundreds of signals…all in the gold range. He revealed to me that there used to be a mechanic shop of some kind right there. Suddenly things were not so easy. I combed the area for over an hour closely watching the depth meter. I was beginning to really wonder if I could find this ring, but I had told him I would not give up. Finally I got the shallow signal I was waiting for. I combed through the grass with my hands, and there it was already settling into the roots, completely invisible to the eye. Jimmy was thrilled as was I. What a relief! A happy ending all round.
I got a call from a nice woman in Chapel Hill (about 45 minutes away). She had been walking in a wooded park near her house when she tripped over a tree root and fell. She wasn’t injured in the fall, but a little further down the path, she noticed that her wedding ring was missing. She explained that because she had lost weight, the ring was loose on her finger, and that was probably the reason it had come off. She and a friend had looked all over the area and hadn’t found the ring – probably because the area was covered with fallen leaves.
We met at her house and she walked me to the spot where she took the tumble. Fortunately (and this is a good tip for any potential ring losers out there), she took her hair clip off and clipped it to a bush to mark the spot. Because she had done this, she was able to show me the exact root she tripped over. I turned on my detector and not only was the ring my first target, it was under my coil on my first swing. She was ecstatic to get the ring back! In our conversation on the way back to her house, I suggested that she look into getting a ring guard to help keep it on her finger. She replied that she had ordered one that morning!
Anyway, very happy to be able to get the ring back where it belonged. Another Happy Ending!

Recently I got a call from Brian. He said that he found me on theringfinders.com website and that he had lost his ring the day before. He and a friend were about to dock his boat and while they approached the peir Brian put his left hand on the edge of the boat to reach for the dock with his right hand. As he did that his wedding ring slide off of his finger and into about 4 1/2 feet of water. They spend about an hour wading around in the water with a pool skimmer in hopes of scooping it up without any luck. So we set up a time for the following day to meet up. We met up the next day and he showed me which pier he was at and about where he thought that it was. So I grabbed my gear and headed for that area. And right where he was pointing I got a rock solid 12 VDI on the Nox. For whatever reason it took me a while to scoop up the signal. Brian asked if I wanted to skip it and look more to my left. I told him I shouldn’t give up on this signal because it was the perfect gold numbers. Finally after what seemed like forever I got the signal in the scoop! When I picked the scoop up from the water I gave it a couple of shakes and sitting in the bottom of the basket was Brian’s white gold wedding band!! Success!!

Another smile for the book!!


Liana texted me late on the Friday after Thanksgiving seeking help to find her lost diamond engagement ring. I immediately called her and she told me she had been raking and bagging leaves in her backyard when her ring came up missing…she thought it probably fell off while raking or bagging the leaves. We made arrangements to meet the following morning at her home in Conshohocken, PA. When I arrived the next day I sensed Liana’s stress…they had spent many hours dumping and re-bagging all the the leaves in search of the ring already and even purchased a metal detector to try to find themselves. After no luck they read a suggestion online that they could hire a professional…hence the call to me. Liana, her husband and neighbors were all involved in the search…a very nice crew of people! I really wanted to come through for them. Since she said she already dumped and searched and re-bagged the 15 bags of leaves it made sense to scan the small yard first. I scanned the entire yard fully 3 times before I decided the ring is absolutely not there. I was little disheartened because the only thing left were the bagged leaves but they said they thoroughly searched them already. We decided we needed to dump them again…one at a time…and now I’ll scan all the contents with my Minelab Equinox metal detector….well, we were on bag #7 or 8…when I couldn’t help but smile…I finally got the signal I was hoping for…I nudged the leave pile a bit with my foot and saw the ring! The group was busy re-bagging leaves and didn’t see my hesitation and smile…i savored the moment for a second…then asked Liana to come over…I pointed to her ring in the middle of the leaf pile…oh the joy and relief on her face! Its why I love being a ring finder….I was so happy to be able to come through for them!
