A Lost Treasure Found: The Return of Janine’s Wedding Ring

  • from Erie (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

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.

Act fast—call or text Dave MacDonald, the metal detection expert serving Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, at 805-290-5009. Time, tides, lawnmowers, and even other detectorists can work against you, so don’t delay!
I recently got a call from Glory, a young woman unwinding after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute near Santa Barbara. She’d been playing volleyball with friends on a grassy field when a powerful spike sent her grandmother’s ring soaring off her finger into the grass. Glory and her friends searched for hours in the Montecito-area hills, but the ring stayed hidden. Desperate, they turned to the internet and found me—Dave MacDonald, the local metal detection specialist—and set up a time for me to help.
I couldn’t make it that day, but I promised Glory I’d arrive at sunrise the next morning. She was nervous about heading back to Berkeley before the search, so I reassured her I’d mail the ring to her once found. At dawn, I arrived in Summerland—just minutes from Carpinteria and Montecito—met the campus security guard, and mapped out a grid pattern to scan with my Minelab Manticore. After three careful passes, I got a sharp high tone. Using my pinpointer, I confirmed a surface target, parted the grass, and there it was: a stunning 24k gold ring nestled in the green.
I showed it to the guard, and we agreed it matched Glory’s description. I snapped a photo, texted it to her, and confirmed it was her grandmother’s ring. Now, it’s safely on its way back to Berkeley, where it belongs!

Lost Tiffany Diamond Ear Ring in Canton, Tx

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got call from Faith, she said she was Skydiving for the first time.  Once she landed in the field she was taking off her Goggles and felt her brand NEW (only had them 24 hours/10yr anniversary gift) Gold & Diamond Ear Ring flew off.  She immediately dropped to her knees with her parachute still attached and started looking for her ear ring.   Her partner and all of the staff at the Sky Diving Club searched and searched but with no luck.  They bought a metal detector NO Luck, the had someone come out with a better Metal Dectector- NO Luck.  Someone suggested she better hire a Pro, so she called « The Dallas Ringfinders ».

We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring.  Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed.  Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors and  our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute.  I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep.  I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again,  still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator.  I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the « Glint ».  What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..

Yesterday, I got a call from Britany, who was in a panic. Her husband had lost his wedding ring during the Northern LA Boardriders October surf event at Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu. He’d stashed the ring inside his wetsuit for safekeeping while competing in the surf. After his set, he peeled off the suit on the beach, and the ring slipped out, disappearing into the dry sand. They knew the rough spot near the shore, so Britany reached out to me—the go-to metal detection expert for finding lost rings in Malibu’s sand and surf.
I headed to Leo Carrillo State Beach, just off Malibu’s stunning coastline, and met them in the sandy area where the ring went missing. With my Minelab detector, I swept the spot, and within a couple of minutes, I got a solid hit. A quick scoop in the dry sand revealed the wedding ring—safe and sound!

How to find a lost ring in the grass, Maitland, Florida!

Steve decided to do a little yard clean up after Hurricane Helene and while he was picking p all the branches and leaves he noticed that his wedding ring was no longer on his pinky finger.  Earlier in the day he noticed his hands were swelling so he took his wedding ring off and « temporarily » put it on his little finger.  He searched desperately for his ring but soon realized the futility of trying to find such a small item in the thick grass and bushes.  A close friend had a couple of metal detectors and they tried for hours to locate his lost ring and when that did not work, Steve decided to search online for help and typed in « Jewelry Recovery Services » and up popped theringfinders.com!  Steve called m and after a brief discussion I made the drive to his home.  Steve had emptied the large bin and looked through all the sticks and leaves and had also attempted to search the bushes as well and I could tell he was quite tired and frustrated.

I always pray and ask God for wisdom and direction before every search attempt and on this occasion I began my search along the corner of the street and the driveway.  My very first signal was a sprinkler head and one step further another strong signal that registered shallow and with the right numbers.  All total I had searched…maybe 1 minute…and there nestled down in the thick grass was Steve’s lost wedding ring!  I called him over to verify that I had found the correct ring and he was shocked that I was able to find it so quickly!  What an honor it was to help Steve find his lost ring and to be a part of their 25 year marriage story!

Lost Texas A&M “Aggie” Class Ring…Found and Returned Four Years Later!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

 


Steve Thomas

Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

“It’s Only Lost Until I Find It!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

My wife and I recently spent a week in Texas with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons. Part of the trip was a three day beach stay in Port Aransas along with other family members on both sides including our son and his wife. Of course, any opportunity I have to do detecting on a beach I try to take advantage of it so I carried along my Minelab Equinox 900 with me.

While detecting on the beach at Port Aransas the first day, my finds had been a handful of coins, a bling ring, a bling earring and an assortment of pull tabs. After a few hours of this, I was about a half mile north of the property where we were staying when I swung my detector over a target in the wet sand about four inches down on mid tide. The number on the display and the tone in my headphones gave me indications that the target was probably a beer cap but when I scooped it out of the wet sand I was pleasantly surprised to find what appeared to be a small gold class ring! After a quick wash of the ring in the salty water, I could see that I had found a Texas A&M class ring from 2021 and the full name of the owner was inscribed inside! For those of you who don’t know how important the achievement of a class ring is to an Aggie grad, you can find out more by searching “Aggie Ring Tradition” and the “Aggie Network”. To say it’s a big deal is a huge understatement.

I returned to where we were staying and began my research. I found two people on Facebook who had the same first and last names as what was inscribed in the ring and who lived in that part of Texas but only one of the two had graduated in 2021. I reached out to her through Facebook messenger (her first name is Amber) but I did not receive a response. The next morning, I decided to post the find on a Facebook page called “Aggie Ring Lost and Found” and it wasn’t long before some of Amber’s family and friends let her know that her ring had been found! Amber then responded to me and of course was shocked that I had found it because she lost it while playing beach volleyball about four years before and had only had it about four months. She had given it up for lost and had purchased a replacement ring. I told her that I was surprised it was still there because of how many people metal detect on beaches now. Amber asked me if I could return the ring to her brother Matthew who was in College Station for his last semester at Texas A&M when my family returned from our stay at Port Aransas and I promised her that I would. The day after our family returned to College Station from Port Aransas, I met Amber’s brother Matthew and returned the ring to him so he could deliver it to Amber who was living and working in San Antonio.

Amber, I was so happy that I could return your precious Aggie ring to you!

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

What a fun search, we got a call from a retired Fire Chief in Lewisville, Texas.  He was helping out with a community Fundraiser where they pushed 40,000 Yellow Duckies off the falls and each duck had a value, they raised over $200,000 but our Aggie while pushing the final Duckies off the falls his Aggie Ring flew off into the pond.
He was very distraught over loosing his ring and tried to rent a Metal Detector but not knowing how to use it was a challenge, he actually was talking to the Fire Department Rescue Scuba Divers about trying to find it for him when he found “The Ring Finders” and called us.

Ellen and I met him on Tuesday morning and found his ring, I love what we do….

Lost your ring or any sentimental item contact me ASAP 24/7 Chris Turner-778-838-3463 

I recieved a call the other day in regards to Lost diamond engagement ring, and wedding band that were soldered together and lost somewhere in the garden. She been looking for close to three weeks and even borrowed Metal Detector, but could not find it.

We arrange the time to meet on the weekend, when I showed up and met Joanne we discussed the area where the ring possibly could’ve fallen, in and around shrubs and bushes that could easily eat up a ring, and make it very difficult to swing a metal detector. I knew I had to use my pinpoint…I started shaking the bushes and began to search underneath in order to make sure I wasn’t walking away from my recovery.

Not finding anything under the bushes I took the next step and started to search the branches and I got a signal up hi and moved the branches and under a dead leaf a saw a glint of gold! Amazing where these little things show up!

I was so honoured to find her late mothers ring and hear the story about her late mother and how she lost it two times in her lifetime so will call this third time. Lucky.!

I love my job!!

Daughter’s Lost Necklace Found Days Later – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
An official from Emerald Isle spotted a young girl combing through the sand, who shared that she had lost her necklace and appeared quite distressed about it. Later, the same official saw me metal detecting further down the beach and informed me about the lost necklace belonging to Anna’s daughter. I reached out to Anna and conducted a search the following day. Regrettably, a large group had set up right where I needed to search. I did my best to search the surrounding area without intruding on their space, but the necklace remained elusive that day.
A few days later, I arranged to meet my friend Carl in the same vicinity. He had already been scouring the beach by the time I got there. As I began a grid search above his location, I mentioned the lost necklace to him. To our astonishment, he produced Anna’s daughter’s necklace from his finds pouch! Having trustworthy friends is truly invaluable. The Kendra Scott necklace might not have been expensive, but it clearly held significant sentimental value for Anna’s daughter.

The other night, I got a call from Bryn, who was in a bind. He and his wife Camille had spent a sunny day at Solimar Beach in Ventura County, soaking up the sand and surf. But when they got home, Bryn noticed his wedding ring was gone. He remembered where they’d been sitting on the beach, though he’d wandered a bit—making trips around the area—so he wasn’t sure if it was lost in the sand or elsewhere. Time was ticking, but Solimar Beach isn’t a hot spot for other detectorists, so I knew we had a solid shot at ring recovery in Ventura County if it was there.
I arrived at Solimar Beach, zeroed in on their spot, and started gridding the sand with my Minelab Manticore. After a couple of passes, I hit a crisp 54-55 tone—a number that often means a zinc penny, but I had a hunch. I plunged my CKG titanium scoop into the sand, shook it out, and felt something hefty. There it was: a stunning 18k gold hammered men’s wedding ring—one of the most beautiful recoveries I’ve made in Ventura County. I thanked God for the find and called Bryn with the good news. He and Camille were overjoyed, and we set up a meet to reunite him with his ring.
