Diamond Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Trevose, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Tyler was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder John Favano. He contacted me after his diamond/gold wedding band came up missing after washing his car in his front yard in Trevose, PA. He searched the grass for hours himself…even purchasing a metal detector before deciding to call in a professional. It just so happens I was in that area for work and I never leave home without my trusty metal detector in the car. He called at 3 pm….I was at his home at 5 pm. While his friend and neighbor Gary cheered me on (Tyler was at work) … I began my search. A gold band on the surface has a very unique signal on a metal detector….I also set my machine for « gold only ». I was at it for about 5-10 minutes…lots of signals but not the one I was listening for. All of a sudden there it was…the signal I was looking for. Before even bending down I told Gary….there it is. I bent down and dug around in the deep grass….and yes there it was!!! I immediately texted Tyler a pic of his precious ring and got a immediate reply « INCREDIBLE…THANK YOU SO MUCH! » I was very happy to come through for Tyler!!!

A Ring Found In Brooklyn: Platinum Wedding Band Recovered in Under an Hour!

Another Ring Down! Brooklyn Job: Platinum Wedding Band Recovered in Under an Hour

Wanna hear how I spent my morning?

Last night around 10pm, I get this message from a guy named Alex:

“Hi Reuben! Got your info from theringfinders.com. I lost my platinum wedding ring playing volleyball at Domino Park in Williamsburg. It’s inscribed and all, and if your detector can find platinum, I wanna talk to you!”

We set up a 9am search. Alex couldn’t make it to the court but sent over a great description and layout of the area. It was a nice morning — overcast, a little cool, and not nearly as brutal as it could’ve been in August. Perfect weather for a little treasure hunting.

Domino Park has one court — sandy, and full of chatter from fences and nearby metal, but I came prepared. I fired up the Nokta Legend, notched out the iron, and took my time listening for that sweet, soft platinum tone.

About 45 minutes in, I got a clean, shallow signal near the back left corner of the court — where most players rotate through. Grabbed my sifter, scooped just the top layer of sand, and rescanned the spot. Silence. I shook the sifter and… bam, there it was. A platinum wedding band, sitting right on top, just waiting to be found.

Inscriptions matched. Game over.

Alex was working nearby, so I swung by and hand-delivered it to him. No extra charge for delivery 😎

Gotta say — every ring is different, but I’ve been doing enough of these to know when I’m onto something. You still need patience, the right gear, and a good set of ears, but man — it’s always a good feeling when that ring hits daylight again.

If you lose something — don’t panic, and don’t go digging holes in the sand like a maniac. Just call me.

Lost Silver Wedding Band Regina Saskatchewan Found

  • from Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan, Canada)
Contact:

Logan and his father were adding gravel to his rear driveway and spreading it with a front end loader and shovel during the work, Logan noticed that his wedding band was missing.  Logan also mentioned that he recently lost some weight, and the ring was fitting very loose.  So perfect scenario for a ring to slid off.

I started searching where Logan was laying the gravel in his driveway.  I had a lot of junk signals.  There were a couple of iffy signals in about 5 to 6 inches deep.  I moved to the next location where Logan was reworking the right side of the driveway.  On my fist pass here I got a solid signal 2 inches down using my pin pointer to find the target I brushed the gravel away and the silver ring appeared. He was so happy that it was found to say the least, I love mt hobby.

Thank you, Logan, on the opportunity to find your gold wedding ring.

lost your Ring/keys/cell phones don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service Ben 1-306-630-3016.

Yarmouth, MA: One Year to Find and Return a Ring by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 18, 2025 It was on July 27, 2024 that I received a text requesting help finding a lost ring.

“Good morning! My son lost his wedding ban in the water on Smugglers Beach in South Yarmouth this past Sat. He was about waist high when he believes it must have slipped off. Is this something that could be found? It is a gold band and I think it was around 2pm that he lost the ring. Thank you! Jennifer (mother)“

As luck (good or bad) had it I agreed to help and arranged for myself and two other detectorists, Leighton and Jim) to go and search the next low tide. Well the water was quite rough and after a couple of hours in the water without results the search shifted to the dry sand again without good results. This could only mean one of two things. One, we did not pass our detectors’ coil over the ring or it was not there, unlikely in this case.

I went back to the area when the water calmed down on several occasions, never giving up hope it was still somewhere and could be found. It happened 51 weeks later when I was in the water chin deep when my detector alerted me of a metal object below its coil. One scoop and you bet, it was the ring sitting all alone at the bottom of my scoop. After a ¼ mile hike back to the parking area, putting on dry shoes I was on my way home to contact the owner.

A search of my records one had the original E-mail from Jennifer. I called her to verify that the ring was her son’s. “YES, I be right over, I live about a mile away” and she was. I handed over the ring with a promise to get a photo of her son with the ring for the Book of Smiles.

It was a really great day for Matt not only did he get his long lost wedding band back but a new addition to his family. It seems Matt was at the hospital waiting on the the arrival of his first son Arthur, aka Arty when I called his mother about finding the ring. Arty was named after his Mom’s Dad who passed when she was 2. And now his happy parents have the wedding band back and a lesson about never giving up to pass onto Arty. What a great way to have a wonderful day! Congratulations!

Craigville, MA Lost Wedding Ring Delays Trip Home

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

August 3, 2025 Mike and his wife were about to leave for home at the end of their vacation after one last dip to remember the great vacation by. The crowning event was to take a splash in Nantucket Sound even tho Mike was not fond of swimming. Little did anyone know their trip home would be delayed by Mike’s unfortunate loss of his yellow gold wedding band (that has more sentimental than most as it is a hand-down from his father) in waist deep water.

When I got a call for help my first request was to have Mike at the beach to put me on the right location in the very large swimming area. The first area description of: half way between two points and less than shoulder depth really needed, to be a but more precise. Both Mike and his wife Amy had their own idea of were the loss occurred. After lessening to the two search parameters, Jim, a visiting friend of mine, and I started to search first perpendicular to the shore then parallel to the shore. Not finding the ring we opened up the search area, still with no results. We then kind of went our own way with thoughts of our own where the ring might be. In a little over an hour of searching and the finding of a toe ring and a little heart ring passed before I found myself within the original search area when I heard the detector’s tone made when passed over a gold object. One scoop and I had the object I was searching for, Mike’s sentimental ring.

I have to say that Mike had a large support team present as Jim and I were searching. There was great fan-fare when I approached the group that was waiting for me on the beach. The one that had the most attention was Amy, as she was pregnant and now had one more joyful story to her yet to be born child. Lot of stories, pictures and plans on how not to loose a ring at the beach passed among all of us. Great family, friends and now memories along with best wishes for a safe trip home. I was off to my car, to take a sip of water, call my wife, before going back to the water for some recreational metal detecting with Jim. What a wonderful day with great beach going weather. It left everyone feeling complete and ready for a safe trip home.

Engagement ring lost at Coronado found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Jessica and her family are visiting here in San Diego and spent the day at the beach in Coronado. She removed her three rings and put them in a fanny pack to keep them safe.  On their way back to their hotel, she went to put her rings back on and only found two of them. She had been in the fanny pack a few times to remove her phone, so, that’s probably when the ring accidentally got pulled out. Panic set in and she returned to the beach to hopefully find the missing engagement ring. As we all know, soft sand will swallow a ring in an instant, and running fingers like a rake to find a small item like that rarely works. Jessica searched online for help and made contact with fellow RingFinder Curtis Cox, who is about an hour north of us. He recommended she call me….Thanks Curtis! I headed over right away and found traffic was horrible! A Sunday afternoon during the summer is always a pain with traffic and parking in Coronado, but, this was really bad due to an accident on the bridge over to the island. An hour later, and parking a mile away, I finally made it to the search area to meet Jessica. She knew where they were camped earlier that day and I started my grid search. First pass I found a quarter. Second pass, nothing. At the end of the third pass I got a nice reading of 20 on my Equinox 900. I told Jessica that this was a promising signal, but, lots of trash signals can read the same. A shallow poke in the sand with my pin pointer revealed what we hoped it would be…..a beautiful engagement ring.  A grateful and very happy Jessica can now enjoy the rest of her stay here before heading home in the morning. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

LOST GOLD WEDDING BAND in CHARLOTTE, NC….. FOUND!!!!

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

I finished the day 2-3 on recoveries, lack of sleep, many hours and miles driven to put smiles back on 2 of the 3 and hopes for the 3rd one it is somewhere in her bags waiting to be found!

While on the ferry ride to Southport coming back from Bald Head Island and after successfully completing my early morning ring recovery. I get a call from a gentleman telling me his wife lost her wedding set in some grass at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, NC last night. They were able to find the engagement ring, but the wedding band wasn’t able to be found.

They had lots of help from police and pedestrians all trying to locate this ring in the dark!

He found me online and gave me a call. I advised him of my current location/situation and assured him that I could head straight to him once I get back to my truck and change into some dry clothes. Four hours later I arrived and met the both of them. I get my gear ready, get the story, area to search and start the recovery!

About 15-20 mins I get a ring hit, look down to scan with my pin-pointer and I see a ring shaped object! I could just barely see it with the grass already covering it. It would’ve been impossible to see this one with just the naked eye!

After a few photos and “couple embraces” it’s back on her finger where it belongs to stay forever!

LOST 14k GOLD WEDDING RING IN A TIDE POOL on BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC…… FOUND!!!!

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

Received a late night text from a gentleman that lost his 14k gold wedding ring on “BALD HEAD ISLAND” on the east beach side where it meets south beach in the “tide pool” while playing with his family.

They were leaving at noon today to head back to Raleigh, so time was of the essence!

I drive down at midnight last night and hit Oak Island for about an hour and a half where a young lady had lost her wedding ring. I didn’t find her’s so I loaded up and made it to Southport ferry for the 6:00 ride over to Bald Head Island. I arrive at 6:30, was picked up by 6:45.

We headed to the opposite side of the island and walked out to the spot. The tide pool has a drop off that goes down to about 7-8 feet and if it was in there I would’ve had to come back to find it with my NEMO/NOMAD MINI.

About an hour later and ONLY getting two signals, I come up with his 14k gold wedding ring!

Happy husband and I’m sure a happy wife too! Now they can go home from vacation with a story and a priceless treasure back where it belongs!

Wildwood Crest, NJ Lost Platinum & Diamond Ring FOUND! by Ring Finders Cape May Jeffrey Laag

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
Lost a ring? Dont wait, Call NOW!
609-780-4525
www.ringfinderscapemay.com
Received a call from Laura. She explained that she had taken off her rings while on Diamond Beach in Wildwood Crest in front of The Grande and handed them to her husband while she applied sunscreen. Later he handed them back to her and she placed them on her lap, this all happened on Saturday. Several days later Laura was looking for her rings, which she assumed she had placed somewhere in her home. After checking the usual spots, panic began to set in after she realized that she never picked them back up after her husband handed them back to her while on the beach in Wildwood Crest. Laura contacted me the following Thursday evening. We spoke and she outlined a specific area on a map pic that I had sent to her. I went down that same Thursday evening only to be met with 30-40mph winds and an onshore blown in tide. The beach was a mess as a result of these weather conditions. I still managed to check a fairly large area but with no success. I advised Laura of the conditions and lack of results and told her that I would try another day once things calmed down however I was skeptical at best considering the location she directed me to. A few days later Laura contacted me again and said that a little girl and her grandmother were playing in the sand in front of The Icona Star Beach Bar and happened across one of Laura’s rings! They turned the ring into The Grand staff to be returned to Laura. Laura immediately advised me of what had transpired and the next morning at 5am I went down to check the area where the one ring was found. The area where the first ring was found was about 800yds from where Laura had originally identified to me. I thoroughly checked that area and found nothing but trash. Since I was already there I walked back down to the original area and was able to make a few passes closer to the normal high tide line and BAM got a signal worth checking. Out came the platinum diamond wedding band! Laura spoke with The Grande staff and I picked up the first ring and delivered both back to Laura the following week. She was absolutely elated! Another successful recovery! How the first ring ended up so far from the original spot may always be a mystery but at least they are both back where they belong!
See attached link from 6abc Action News who picked up this story and did an interview about the whole ordeal.

Laura’s testimonial:
« Jeff is so incredibly kind and selfless – and above all else, so committed to finding your priceless items. You can trust him to search and return your items. I lost my wedding band on Diamond Beach on a busy summer Saturday and had Jeff start his search 5 days after I lost it. Between lost time, big crowds, bad weather, and beach cleaning tractors…. Well, let’s just say not even Jeff had confidence in finding my wedding band. But that didn’t stop him from immediately responding to my text and going to the beach very late on a week night to start his search. He returned empty handed that night and went back again at dawn a few days later and found it! He spent so much time helping me and I am forever grateful. If you’ve lost a wedding ring or anything precious, you know it’s devastating and hard to know where to turn but I hope you turn to Jeff. He even went out of his way to hand deliver it to my front step and I live over an hour from him. He is a special soul! Jeff works for tips so please be sure to show your gratitude! »

LOST PLATINUM WEDDING RING in MONROE, NC…. FOUND!!

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

I DIDN’T EVEN TURN ON MY MACHINE!!!

Received a text message that a gentleman had lost his platinum wedding ring in his yard.

I told him I could leave in a few mins and would be there in an hour and a half.

I arrive, get my gear, meet him, we make our way to the backyard where I get the scoop.

He was skimming his pool and he was shaking his hands dry next to a black/rod iron looking fence that had a row of elephant ears growing on the pool side of the fence.

As he was showing me the direction he thought the ring went, stating it’s probably on the other side of these elephant ears. He goes to move the plants back and we look down and we both see the ring! He was like, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MY WIFE AND LOOKED ALL OVER FOR THIS RING!”

I took a couple of photos and loaded up to head back home.

Love the easy ones!
