Memorial pendant found at a beach in Michigan.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I was out detecting a beach in Michigan when I found this Memorial pendant. It had a thumb print and a name with dates on the back. I put it on the local facebook page and was able to find the owner. It turns out that it belonged to a young man whose grandfather died. I mailed it out to him and his mother recorded a message from him thanking me. This is the most rewarding hobby to have. You can watch the full video of the find on YouTube at the ringmeister. The message from Hunter is one of the shorts.

Gold ring lost, found and returned in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

This little was playing on the sprinklers when they lost their 14k gold ring. The mom bought a metal detector and searched for hours but could not find it. She finally found Ring Finders. We searched for about an hour before it was found. My partner Jeff went over it twice without picking it up. When I went over it, it was a poor signal and read as “foil” but decided at this point to look anyways. It was the smallest child’s ring I have ever seen. They were all so happy that it was finally found!

Wedding Band Recovery on San Luis Obispo Beach

  • from Pismo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Adam reached out to see if we could find his lost wedding band. Adam and his buddies were throwing a football in the surf zone.  His ring slipped off at some point.   He let us know of the general area to search.  When I arrived at the beach, my buddy Matt was already there detecting, the south side.  I asked him if he wanted to help with the recovery. We started gridding the area.  A couple pull tabs, can slaw, and loose change was all we were finding.  Then BOOM.  Matt hit it! Ring Recovered!

Wedding ring returned to owner. – Mount Airy, NC

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

On Wednesday, 06/10/2026, I was scrolling Facebook when I saw a post in a local group inviting anyone offering services or running a small business to share what they do. I had a few minutes, so I created a post that said I help lost jewelry find its owners and owners find their lost items and attached my business card .

Within an hour, I received a call from Jamie, who said he had just seen my post and had lost his wedding ring a few days earlier while cleaning a cooler after a weekend gathering. He explained that he lived in the Mount Airy area and asked if I could help. My reply was, « Absolutely. » As long as someone hadn’t picked it up, I was confident I could locate it.

I told Jamie that I was in Wilkes County (about 45 minutes away) and currently at a meeting, but I would head his way afterward and text him my ETA.

After the meeting, as I walked to my car, I noticed the sky was dark and angry to the northeast—toward Jamie’s location. I entered his address into my GPS, which showed an arrival time of around 6:00 p.m. I texted Jamie the details and got on the road.

During the drive, I entered a heavy downpour and thought to myself, « I may be detecting under an umbrella for the first time! » Fortunately, I was out of the rain after only about 10 minutes.

When I arrived, I met Jamie, who explained that he had washed the cooler and then flung his hands backward to dry them. You don’t have to guess what happened next. The ring flew off, and he heard it hit the ground somewhere in the distance. Although he searched extensively, he was unable to find it.

I carry rings with me so we can perform a test toss and estimate how far a ring might travel. The test toss indicated a distance of approximately 25 feet. I began my search beyond that distance and worked my way back toward the porch, but with no success.

Jamie then mentioned that the ring could have gone farther to his left than the test toss suggested. I started again, this time from the porch and worked my way out into the yard. As I did, I began feeling raindrops. Remembering the strong storm I had driven through earlier, I picked up the pace. About a minute later, I heard exactly what I was hoping for.

Under my coil was his ring.

I picked it up and quickly walked over to Jamie, asking, « Is this it? »

« Yes! » he replied. « Where did you find it? »

By this point, the rain was really coming down. I asked him for a quick photo, you can even see the raindrops on the business card.

Found in less than 30 minutes and barely missed the monsoon. 🙂  Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to assist you, Jamie!

Cedar Lake Cellars Wright City, Missouri

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was attending the Night Lights Lantern Festival at Cedar Lake Cellars in Wright City, Missouri in October 2025. There were about 1000 people there and we were in a very large grassy field. Because the weather was a little colder, the ring had slipped off my finger somewhere near where we were sitting that evening. Luckily, I took a few photos and was able to determine the exact GPS coordinates from apples map function from the photo. I was able to get permission from the winery personnel to search the property and sure enough you found the ring within 10 feet of where the GPS coordinates from the photo indicated. I was shocked and very very excited. that ring had been there all winter and spring and now it’s back in my possession. The ring was very special to me and still is and now it has more of a story. I can’t begin to thank you enough.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Jim reached out to me after finding me in the Ring Finders directory. He was saddened and upset to notice his 37 year old wedding band had disappeared off his finger…when, where and how it disappeared was a mystery to him. The only thing he could think of was that it fell off while he was doing some yard work (taking his gloves on and off) in his backyard in Wilmington, DE several days earlier. He figured it was long shot and had little confidence it would be found but decided to give a professional a shot. He also spent several hours searching himself on his hands and knees. I arrived at his home that Sunday afternoon…as I always do…I demonstrated with my metal detector and my own wedding band what a gold band would sound like if I went over it. I want my clients to know that if they put me over the missing ring…I wont miss it! Jim showed me the area he was working…it was part backyard lawn and part woods…not a large search area. I was 10 minutes into the search and had covered 90% of the yard when…BOOM…there was the signal I was hoping for in the deep grass. I looked down and I could see the ring in the deep grass…I asked Jim who was standing nearby…if I could ask him another question…when he came over I pointed down and asked « is that your ring? » The relief and joy on his face was priceless!!!

Find a ring in Mamaroneck! – Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!

Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797

This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.

She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.

Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.

A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.

When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.

As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”

I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.

“I GOT IT!”

Yeah… I yelled.

Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.

I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.

Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…

“I found it!”

Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.

So today somehow turned into two happy endings. ?

Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. ?

One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.

You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.

LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.
