Over the course of the last several months, I have received calls to search for several pieces of jewelry including a woman’s titanium wedding ring in the water, a gold chain with a diamond cross in the water, a gold ankle bracelet in the sand or water, and a gold wedding ring. The only recovery was the last one which the owner found at her home the next day!
Recently, I received a text from Ymalai and she told me that she had been searching for hours for her white gold diamond wedding ring that she lost in her neighbor’s yard. Her wedding band had slipped off as well but she had found that ring during her search. I arrived and began my search in the thick weeds and grass of the vacant lot owned by the neighbors and in the area where Ymalai had found her wedding band. After a few minutes, Ymalai’s husband Joel arrived and began assisting in the search. Joel walked behind me and further into the neighbor’s yard when he spied the ring on the ground hidden amongst the weeds. Another recovery by the owner! Ymalai and Joel, thank you for contacting me to assist in the search.

I received a call from Sydney stating her engagement ring was lost in very thick bushes outside of a hotel. She stated someone else had tried to search for it but was unable to find it. As they searched the night before they removed a lot of cans and garbage from deep inside the bush. When I arrived I found the bushes to be much bigger then expected and a lot of trash sitting next to them. I knew this would be difficult because of all the metal garbage and because I would have to climb into the middle of the bushes which were about 4ft high.
I first scanned the tops and worked my way down through the bush in case the ring was stuck within the thick branches. Once that turned up nothing, I climbed into the middle and began searching under the bushes with my Garrett Super Sniper 4.5″ coil as the regular coil would not fit. After about 20min, of searching, I found the ring laying under pine needles. When I emerged from the bush and handed Sydney her ring, she was overcome with emotion. She immediately called her fiancé to tell him the news.

Will was on his way back home to Canada. His 22K gold ring wasn’t. It was buried at an uncertain location on the beach.
Yesterday, a late evening call from Will alerted me to the fact that he’d lost his ring somewhere in dry sand or in the water while they were enjoying a day on the sand and in the surf. I arranged to meet him early today and he showed me the areas he expected the ring to be: a dry sand area where he’d played ‘spike ball’, an area where the family sunned on the dry sand, and a water area where he’d been swimming. Will had asked a detectorist who happened by to scan the first area, with no results. The water seemed like the next best bet so I started there, working parallel to shore from neck-deep in toward the beach. After about two hours with no results I went ashore and scanned the spike-ball and sunning areas but came up with nothing but some trash. In the meantime, Will and family had to depart for home. I’d assured him that if I found the ring I’d arrange to send it back to him.
Back in the water, I started in the middle of the search area, working in- and off-shore toward one side until I reached the edge. I then expanded the search area and within a few minutes got a nice solid signal. I sank the scoop deep and a few seconds later was looking Will’s buttery-gold ring sitting in a scoopful of gravelly cobbles. Success!
The next step will be to ship the ring home. I had a great time on this search and I’m elated that I’ll be able soon to re-unite Will and his ring!
Update, 23 October: Will’s ring was shipped off to his sister in New York state on 30 August, as it was anticipated that he would be visiting her in early September and this also would avoid possible customs issues in getting his ring back into Canada. Unfortunately, the planned visit did not work out but now, finally, the ring has made it back to where it belongs! Will, thank you for adding your background story about the ring. I’m so happy for you and Swathi that the ‘circle is now complete’!

Will’s 22K buttery gold ring.

At last, back where it belongs!

I received a call from Vinny Thursday morning around 9:00 AM. He was frantically trying to locate someone to help him find his wife’s platinum engagement ring. Vinny and his wife were out on the front lawn the afternoon the day before and she had lost her gorgeous engagement ring. They both looked exhaustively for the ring on their hands and knees for hours but could not locate the ring. The day Vinny called me was also his wife’s birthday so he was frantic and hopeful he could return his wife’s ring back to her on yet another special day, her birthday.
I immediately prepared to travel the 2 hours to Vinny’s location as I knew I had to reunite this lady with her ring. I arrived at the site and Vinny gave me the layout of the location and the events leading up to losing the ring. I immediately went to work and within 5 minutes had the ring back in Vinny’s hands. This was one of the fastest recoveries I’ve been on!! 4 hour round trip drive, 5 minute recovery…Awesome!!
God Bless and Keep on Hunting…

Brooke contacted me even though she was in Nashville and I was in Chattanooga. There are two ring finders in the Nashville area, but neither of them were available. I agreed to go, even though it was about a two-and-a-half-hour drive for me. She had lost a gold pendant while she was competing in a charity event at a local golf course. The pendent was from her late grandfather, so it had a lot of sentimental value. I left early enough from the Chattanooga area to get there by 6:00AM so we could get started before the course opened. That event was a sack race. They were not on the fairways, but in the grass off to the side. I’m not familiar with the course layout, but I think it was off to the side of tee box #10 where they had the sack race. Brooke had previously gotten permission from the course manager. The first thing I did was scan the edges of the cart paths, and it was not there, except for a square pull-tab. Yep, those are everywhere we go. Fortunately, someone had taken a video clip of the sack race, and I could clearly see she had the pendent on during the race. But more importantly, I could use that to hone in on where the race took place. From the viewpoint of the video there were several small trees on the left background. In the left foreground there was a grassy hill that had been scalped on the top by the mowers. On the right very edge of the screen I saw a homeowner’s metal fence that was bordering his back yard. So, using those landmarks I was able to pinpoint exactly where the sack race took place. Most of the grass there was short enough to see the pendent if you walked close to it. Some of the grass was tall enough to hide an object that small, so that’s where I focused my detecting first. While I was scanning the taller grass, Brooke asked if there was anything she could do. I said most of this grass is short enough that you could most likely see it if you walked right over it. So, knowing exactly where the race had taken place, I had started scanning around halfway to the finish line where the taller grass was, and Brooke started walking ahead of me near the finish line where the shorter grass was. After around twenty minutes or so, I saw Brooke lean over and pick something up, she said, “I found it!” It was visible if you walked right over it, so someone else could have seen it before we got there. Fortunately, it was still there.




I was tagged in a post in a few local groups last evening regarding someone looking for assistance with recovering a lost ring on the beach in Cape May. I messaged Emily whom explained that her father lost his ring, at some point, on Grant St beach earlier in the day. Emily passed me onto her mother whom reached out this morning. After gathering some details we agreed on a time to meet. Took the short ride, from home, over and met up with the entire family. They weren’t exactly sure when or how the ring came to be lost but they were fairly sure as to where they had been sitting. I turned on my detector and literally had the ring in the first sweep, less than 3 minutes. Another happy family! #lostringandjewelryrecoveryservice, #capemaynj, #jerseyshore, #weddingrings, #lostring, #capemaycounty, #lostandfound, #CoolCapeMay, #coolercapemay, #theringfindersnj, #theringfindersnewjersey, #jerseyshore, #capemaynewjersey

EMERALD ISLE, NC —– COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN
Kristina and Drew were spending a beautiful day on the Emerald Isle beach. Before finding a place to setup for the day in the sun, Kristina placed her engagement ring in a zip up blanket. She became alerted when she had notice that Drew had opened the blanket and placed it on the beach. Apparently, he didn’t know about the hidden ring. Kristina called me and I informed her I could be there in less than 40 minutes. Upon arrival, I searched over the blanket and received a very strong signal below the blanket. I even stated « there is your ring ». I moved the beach blanket and nothing produced a signal from my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT pinpointer. It was then, I looked up and noticed the metal zipper under the blanket. I reset and started to scan the area with my Minelab CTX-3030. I then locked onto a 2nd strong signal and this time, the Garrett sounded off with Kristina’s ring! Now her engagement ring can attend next year’s wedding!
