Beautiful Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Lewes, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

This nice couple was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, John Favano. Lauren and her husband were enjoying a beautiful summer day on a Lewes bay beach when tragedy struck!  Her husband was tossing a ball back and forth while standing in knee deep water when he felt, saw and heard his ring fly off and « kerplunk » into the water at his feet. After looking for quite a bit they decided to track down a professional metal detectorist…I got the call around 4 pm Saturday and just happened to be on the beach 10 minutes away! I ran over and went straight to work…after finding quite a few bottle caps and pull tabs … about 20 minutes into the search I finally got the wedding band signal I was hoping for. After several attempts to scoop the target in 2 feet of water…I finally got it into the scoop. Looking down…I raised the scoop in triumph….there on top of all the sand in the scoop was a beautiful ring! I was very happy to be able to help this awesome couple!!!

 

LOST 14K WHITE GOLD WEDDING SET IN RIVER NEAR MILL SPRING, NC….FOUND!!!

Received a text from a young lady that stated she had lost her wedding ring set (two rings soldiered together) in a river that she was tubing on Friday July 3rd and asked if I could try and find it.

I said absolutely! The water was only about 2-3 feet deep and she lost it just before some rapids. So after work, I make the 3 plus hour drive and get to the spot. Grabbed my gear and headed down the little hill towards the river’s edge to assess the area.

Once in the water, I needed to try and figure out where she was based on the text message and screenshots received. I finally found what I thought was the spot and I get a good 72 VDI ring signal! It sounded loud and on top! The only issue was it was under a big log. I rolled the log to the right and scanned again. Now I’m really getting a good signal!! I went to get my goggles because I couldn’t see with the water moving and the suns glare. As I was coming back to the spot, the same “SUNS GLARE” actually shined down and I could see a silvery/white gold circle shining!! I reached down and pull it up!

I had to drive a ways to get cell signal back, but once I did I sent her the pictures and she was very happy!

Then I had to drive an hour to their house where I met her husband at the door! I said, “I hear your wife lost some rings!” He said, “Yes!” They both couldn’t believe it was still there and I found them! (on July 8th) Needless to say he was very excited to get them back as well!

Engagement Ring Lost in the Lake-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

I got a call from Sydnie on Saturday the 4th and she said her friend who was down from Ohio for the 4th had lost her engagement ring in the lake right behind her house. They were floating about fifteen to twenty feet from the dock. Before I could make it over there they had to return home without the ring. I was able to get there for the search on Tuesday. I geared up for the search using my Manticore with the Gray Ghost Amphibian headphones and a sand scoop. Fortunately the water was only around 4 to 4 1/2 feet deep there. The bottom was a very shallow layer of soft mud, maybe less that 2 inches, with a hard pan of clay underneath. That made it difficult to use a sand scoop, but I made it work. Closer in to the dock there was a lot of iron and other debris that made the going slow, but as I got further away from the dock those signals were further in between. The water was deep enough that I couldn’t see the screen on the Manticore, and the lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. After about an hour and a half I was at least twenty feet away from the dock, maybe a little more, and I got the tell tale double beep low tone that was very strong. The lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. I lifted the detector out of the water to see the screen and it said 06 for the target ID. With the hard pan clay down there it took me three attempts to get the target in the scoop, but there it was, a dainty white gold ring.

Lost gold ring FOUND! Sea Isle City, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Paul. Paul explained that he was enjoying a day on 29th st beach with his family in Sea Isle City NJ. Paul was standing in shallow surf when his ring slipped from his finger and disappeared into the surf. Paul and his family searched the area but were unable to locate the ring. After a quick search, Paul landed on Ring Finders Cape May. After discussing the details with Paul I took the short ride to Sea Isle City and met Paul and his family on the beach. Paul made some good decisions by marking the area and gathering reference points when he dropped the ring. Utilizing my top of tye line detection equipment I began grid searching the immediate area. Luckily the tide was receding, and the area was mostly wet sand at this point. After a brief 5-minute search my detector indicated a solid, clean, low growl typically associated with gold targets. After two scoops into the sand Paul’s gold wedding ring emerged in my scoop. The whole beach erupted in applause. Another happy ending, another satisfied client!

Ring lost at Mission Bay found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Kai put his rings in his pocket before playing smash ball on the beach at Mission Bay. After playing, he realized that sometime during the game his rings escaped his pocket and were now in the sand somewhere. One was found, but, the other eluded the search. He gave me a call, but, I was over an hour away celebrating the 4th at a friend’s house. I agreed to do the search after I got home later that night. Kai headed home, but, sent me a map and address of where they were staying and playing. After fighting all the beach traffic, I managed to get to the search area about 12:45am. An hour of gridding later, and no ring, I walked over to where his friends were staying to see if anyone was still up that could help narrow the search area. Sure enough, even though Kai had gone home, a friend of his was still there at the air B&B. I was then shown the spot where smash ball was being played and I found the ring a short time later at 2am. I texted Kai and planned on re-uniting him with his ring later that day. As you can see, Kai was very happy to get his ring back! a pleasure meeting you and thank you for the reward.

Wedding Ring Lost During a Water Ballon Fight-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

Chris contacted me on Sunday morning and said his wife had lost her ring in the front yard while throwing water ballons on the 4th. He showed me the area they were at so I started there. I was fairly certain that early on in the conversation he said it was white gold, so I was mainly concentrating on shallow low signals. But, after around 30 minutes I got a very strong 72 on the Manticore with the telltale double beep that said it was very shallow or on the surface. A 72 is definately not white gold, but a silver or copper tone, and of course I investigated to see what it would be. It was the lost ring, and after looking at it I saw a 925 inside the band. So it was silver and not white gold. His wife was estatic and said she went to sleep crying the night before. In my book they are newlyweds, only 6 months in. A successful recovery!

Wedding Band Lost While Preparing Raised Plant Bed-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

Nick contacted me and said that his wife had lost her wedding band while preparing a raised plant bed, but she wasn’t sure which one. He and his wife has a matching tungsten carbide band set. The first bed I checked had a good signal, but it turned out to be a larger deep signal. The second bed was larger in size, but all of them had galvanized metal sheeting for the side walls. That was a problem, but I managed to work around it. In the second bed I found a signal that was showing a 30 on the Manticore, but was close to the metal side wall so that number may have been skewed. That 30 on the Manticore turned out to be her ring. It was about four inches deep. The total seach time was only about twelve minutes.

Cape Cod – Yarmouth, MA Lost Ring, Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 1, 2026

Well summer and a heat wave have arrived in time for the 4th of July festivities. Getting a head start, Kevin was testing the water, which was still a bit on the cool side, when his white gold wedding band slipped off his finger to land on the sandy bottom of his condo’s lake. He saw the ring resting and did a shallow dive to retrieve the ring only to have it slip through his fingers and vanish into the sand.

After several tries to re-locate his ring failed he gave up the search. A couple of days later a search on the internet for someone that could help him find his ring. To his credit he chose “TheRingFinders.com” to help in his search. Navigating the home page to the country, state and person he chose to reach out to me.

His call came in as I was heading to a doctor’s appointment, but I would be available around 5pm. I arrived about 4:30, had a brief discussion on where the ring was lost. Then it was out to chest deep water in an area about one quarter of the swimming area. I started covering the area in a grid pattern and after a few passes Kevin said he thought he might have been several yards from his initial recollection. So I move to the new area. And several more minutes of searching I was shown to still another area.

About 10 more minutes passed with only two coins, a fishing weight and two pull tabs in my pouch I started a grid pattern that encompassed all three areas. Another 10 minutes of my detector not giving me a signal to stop and dig, I heard the familiar sound I was listening for, a sharp, repeatable signal and a steady numeric ID number on the detector screen. A single scoop a quick shake to remove the sand from by scoop and I saw the white gold ring. My searching had been completed in about an hour.

All that was left was to take a few pictures, tell a few stories of other returns I have made and I was homeward bound, just in time for dinner.

I will end this story with one tip to those that have read this far and find themselves in a similar predicament as Kevin had been in. And that is to stay in the spot the loss happened, have someone bring you a few coins and drop them in the area your lost item should be. Then call for one of “TheRingFinders” to come and help retrieve your item.

Until then … have a HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Longport NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

Wedding Ring Recovery Success Story in Longport, New Jersey

When you’re enjoying a beautiful day on the beach in Longport, the last thing you expect is to lose your wedding band in the sand. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened recently when a visitor was tossing a football with family and friends.

During one throw, the force of the motion caused his wedding band to fly off his finger and disappear somewhere on the beach. After spending considerable time searching the area by hand, there was still no sign of the ring. With thousands of grains of sand and a large search area, finding a small gold band can feel impossible.

That’s when they contacted me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey.

Using Experience, Detective Work, and a Grid Search

The first step in any successful ring recovery is gathering information. I asked questions about where they were standing, the direction of the throws, how far the football was traveling, and where they first realized the ring was missing.

Using those details, I narrowed down the most likely search area and established a systematic grid pattern. Rather than wandering randomly with a metal detector, a structured grid search ensures every square foot is covered efficiently and thoroughly.

After carefully working the area with my metal detector, I received a promising signal buried beneath the sand. Within moments, the missing wedding band was recovered and safely returned to its owner.

Why Beach Ring Recoveries Require a Methodical Approach

Beach recoveries are often more challenging than people realize. Wind, foot traffic, shifting sand, and inaccurate memories can quickly make a small search area much larger.

Lost Wedding Band … Found in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Contact:

Received a call this morning about a lost wedding band. The lady had been on a walking trail last night and lost her wedding ring which was a three ring set.

Her husband and her found two of them right away but the third one couldn’t be found. I gridded and searched the area this morning for two hours and

didn’t find it until I went to the opposite side of the trail and there it was.

Happy to find it for her and I know she was grateful to have it back.
