Ring lost at a Mission Bay Beach found

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

Barry was in charge of his wife’s three rings while she took a dip in the water of Mission Bay. He dutifully place the rings in his shirt pocket. After a bit, he decided to go into the water also, and took his shirt off and left it there at their picnic table. When he returned, he put his shirt back on and then realized that one of the rings was missing…..the engagement ring. A search ensued, but, the ring wouldn’t show itself. He even came the next morning to search again. Figuring it was most likely right there close by in the dry sand, Barry found TheRingFinders.com and gave me a shout. I met him at the site and after moving some benches to get some « swinging room » I went to work with gridding the area around their table. After a few coins and junk signals, I got a sweet and solid 22 on my Equinox 900 display. One short scoop and this beautiful ring was back in the sunshine. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Four-Generation Men’s Wedding Band Recovered, Woodneck Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

This was a very special wedding band.  Peter’s great grandfather wore it when he was married in 1917, and it passed down through Peter’s grandfather, and father, to him.  It was inscribed with initials and dates and had been through two World Wars and, now, four marriages.  It went onto Peter’s left ring finger when he was married in 2017, 100 years after his great grandfather tied the knot.  Needless to say, this was a ring that, once lost, needed to be found!

The ring left Peter’s finger when his hand bumped a rock as he was floating down the channel with his young daughter at Woodneck Beach.  He had a good idea of where the ring probably came off and felt certain of the limits where it might be.  He learned of the RingFinders through the Fabulous Falmouth group on Facebook and called me on the evening of the loss.  I met him and his friend Dave the next morning at low tide to do the search.

I covered the prime area thoroughly with no result, and then extended the search in increments beyond the limits of where Peter felt the ring should be.  After two hours with no target it was starting to look pretty discouraging.  But, as is not uncommonly the case, the ring could be farther afield than expected, so I widened the search even more.  Fortunately this soon produced the desired result, and it was accompanied by lots of happy exclamations and smiles as the heirloom ring was returned to Peter’s finger.  I’m really pleased that I was able to recover this unique treasure and to know that it will continue to be held and cherished in the family where it belongs!

Yellow Gold Mans Wedding Band Lost/Found At Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

I received a call regarding a lost yellow gold mans wedding band (with 10-27-23 engraved inside) on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The ring was lost on 07/20/24, while James was enjoying a day at the beach. James had placed his treasured ring in a zippered bag for safe keeping, when he decided to put his ring back on his finger he found that it was no longer in the bag. There had been several people who were going in and out of the bag so James felt that the ring had fallen out of the bag and into the sand. I was given the possible location of the lost ring as being on the beach south of Prospect Street at the South end of Rehoboth boardwalk and about three quarters of the way out towards the water. I searched the area for about an hour and a half with no luck in finding the ring. With the ring being lost in the sand for six days prior to my searching for it I felt that the sand rake had gotten it and moved it or that it had been found by someone else with a metal detector. Feeling that I had done my best to find the ring, I began to walk back to the boardwalk while still swinging my metal detector, I all of a sudden heard a familiar tone in my headset and upon digging the item up I found that it was James lost ring. I then promptly took a photo of the ring and texted the photo to James who was happy to get the news. James was in his home state of Maryland at which time he was attending a wedding. I was told that upon hearing the news of the ring being recovered, everyone at the wedding had asked for my cell number.  James was on his way to Bethany Beach on 07/27/24 so I met him in the parking lot of a local business at which time I reunited him with his lost ring.

White Gold Mans Wedding Band Lost/Found At Cape Henlopen State Park Lewes, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Scott regarding his lost white gold wedding band that had been lost at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Delaware on the beach. Scott said that he had been throwing a football to his son and that his ring flew off of his finger and landed in the wet sand just as a wave washed over top of it. Scott said that he ran over to try to recover his ring, but the ring disappeared into the sand as the water covered it. The ring had been lost several hours prior to low tide so when I arrived it was actually low tide and the area of the lost ring was just wet sand. Scott showed me the area that he had marked where the ring was lost, I began to check the area and with a few swings of the metal detector the lost ring was found and returned to its rightful owner. A spectator who was watching me recover the ring approached me and gave me a fist bump and the group of people that he was with up on the dry sand of the beach were cheering and clapping.

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 07/31/24, I was contacted by Josh regarding a silver wedding ring that he had lost on the beach at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Josh had taken his ring off and placed it inside of his baseball cap for safe keeping while he went swimming. After he came out of the water Josh placed his hat back on his head forgetting that his ring was inside of it. The ring fell out of the baseball cap and landed in the dry sand where it quickly disappeared and became lost. Josh marked the area where he believed that the ring was in the sand with his sneakers. I began a search of the area and the lost ring was found about a foot away from the sneakers. The ring was then returned to its rightful.

I got the call for help while driving close by, but, didn’t have my detector with me. Headed home, grabbed my gear, my wife, and headed back out into the Saturday afternoon beach traffic. My wife dropped me off and continued to circle for a parking spot while I headed to the search area. Ethan and his wife spotted me as  I spotted them, and they waved me over a small section of beach where they believed the ring to be hiding. After getting the low down on how the ring was lost and the description of the ring, I started to grid. first target sounded real good, and a few seconds later, my pin pointer had zeroed in on the target. Sure enough, Ethan’s ring was now found at the same time my wife found a parking spot!  A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

Find lost ring lbiWawa

David was enjoying the day on the beach, when he did what many others do. Remove their wedding ring and place it somewhere for safe keeping. Then he enjoyed the entire day on the beach, swimming, relaxing, having some food and drinks, etc. Now comes the dreaded part of the fantastic day, pack up time. That in itself is pretty depressing, so most are not thinking about the prior events and precautions they took, and grab up their belongings, and head to the car for the long drive home. Several hours later after David arrived home it hit him !!! Oh no, my wedding ring, and exactly as you thought, I was missing !!!! So David finally accepted the fact that it must have fallen out of his shorts pocket and into the sugar sand somewhere where he was sitting. David was able to locate my services and reach out wanting to know if I could assist. Luckily for David, he was able sitting very close to some fixed structures on the beach, and gave very detailed measurements to his location on the beach. Once I arrived I searched the entire location and had no luck, I remember him saying there were stairs directly across from his chair, which meant I needed to look a few feet closer to the ocean. Sure enough, one path further and David’s ring was in my sand scoop. I snapped some pics and sent them to him. He called immediately in total shock. We agreed the best way to return the rings was through certified mail, as he was just to far to make the return trip to the Jersey shore. David also requested to not post his picture on social media, which I truly respect his decision.

Family heirloom ring recovered in Lititz, PA

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

While pressure washing a customers home on a Monday, Ed lost his wedding ring. He rented a metal detector and raked the yard but could not locate it. As an Assoc. Pastor, he watched the church’s live stream from Sunday evening and he saw the ring on his hand. But after visiting a gun store on Tuesday, he watched the store surveillance video and did not see it on his hand. He called me after exhausting all efforts to find it. I arrived the next day and met him on site. He showed me the area he was working and I began the search. After about 5 min, I got a strong signal around 87 on my Garrett ATPro. The ring had been pushed down into the grass and soil, so I needed my pin pointer to find it.

Somehow my phone texted Ed a (smiling emoji) who was waiting in his truck. He came running around the house and said,  « I just got your text, so you found it?? », I told him that I did not text him and that I had just stood up from finding it. I looked at my phone, and sure enough, there was a smiling emoji. I have no idea how that got sent. He was so happy to get his families ring back. He told me that it was his grandfathers ring, who had received it from his grandmother, so this ring has been in the family for a long time. When ever you loose something of value, call me at 610-207-8677.

Wedding Ring Found & Returned, Woodneck Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

It’s nice to have a quick find and return now and then.  When Devin lost his wedding ring in the waters of Woodneck Beach, he soon learned of the Ring Finders through a relative and gave me a call.  I needed to get my gear, but the beach was on my way home and he agreed to meet me there so he could identify the area to be searched.  When he arrived he described how he’d been playing with his young son in the water and at one point struck his hand on the bottom.  The ring unfortunately stayed behind when his hand came up.  Needless to say, this was not a happy element of an otherwise enjoyable family vacation.

With the search area well defined, I told Devin there was no need to hang around, as he needed to go and tend to his family.  I made a quick trip to gear up at home and get back to the beach.  The tide was coming in and sunset was an hour away, so I hoped to make a quick recovery.  Fortunately that was the case and I was able to call Devin just at dusk and tell him that I had his ring in hand.  We arranged a time for him to come by my house later in the evening.  With the ring returned, some happy conversation, and some photos, another Ring Finders success story was complete!

Devin’s milgrain- and hammered-finish wedding band.

A happy smile from Devin with his wedding ring.
