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.

Super quick recovery, super short story. I received a message from Bethann. She explained that her husband lost his ring on Trenton Ave beach while playing with their grandchildren in the sand. Rode over and met up with the couple on the beach minutes after she messaged me. After a very brief discussion and search I managed to recover the ring in about 30 seconds. Granted they’re not always that fast, but it nice when they are. Regardless of how long it takes, I always take the time to provide the very best service and search techniques for my clients. Another happy couple!

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)

Lost a ring? Dont wait, Call NOW!

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! »

North Topsail Beach, NC – Wedding Band Lost In Ocean, Found And Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

North Topsail Beach, NC                                                                            By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

Steve was spending some time in the ocean during a typical hot Summer North Carolina day. He mentioned he was swimming in about chest deep waters, jumping in the waves.  A large wave hit him and he felt his ring was gone!

Steve called me just after low tide that same day and I arrived the following day to search.  I found another man’s white gold band, in the ocean, a few miles away about an hour before.  I started my search parallel with the shoreline working my way out into the deeper water.  After finding nothing but a couple of pieces of trash, I started a vertical search.  After just a couple of passes, I got a good signal.  I was disappointed when I dug up a pop can tab.  A few steps later in the water, my machine displayed the very same target identification.  This time it was Stephen’s white gold wedding band!  I walked to shore and took some pictures.  Steve was about to go out with family for pizza and I sent him the photo thinking they had already left.  A large number of family members and Steve and his wife poured out onto the beach with surprise and joy!

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!

How to Find a Lost Platinum Wedding Ring in a Backyard in Harrison, NY (Hint: Start with a Metal Detector and a Lot of Patience)

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)
Contact:

Today’s ring recovery brought me to Harrison, NY — more specifically, to the backyard of a beautiful home in Purchase — where I was asked to help locate a lost platinum wedding band.

I got the call from Jack, who was reaching out on behalf of his brother Billy. Billy had lost his wedding ring a few days earlier while walking their dogs in the backyard of their parents’ home. They’d spent hours over multiple days searching, but with no luck. That’s when they called in reinforcements — me.

It was 99° and brutally hot. The kind of heat where the sweat drips into your eyes before you even turn the detector on. But I was determined. The yard had a sprinkler system, which made the search more challenging — all those underground lines were setting off the detector with false alarms. Still, after about 40 minutes of careful gridding, slow swings, and filtering out bad signals, I heard the sweet sound that just might be the real deal.

Sure enough, nestled deep in the grass was a beautiful platinum wedding band.

Neither Jack nor Billy could be there, but their parents were (they didn’t want to be photographed). And let me tell you — the moment I sent the text that I had found a ring, they burst out the back door, hoping it was the ring. It was. Relief and smiles all around.

Now, as members of TheRingFinders.com, we usually like to post the classic “smiling owner holding the found ring” photo — but unfortunately I didn’t get that today. What I do have is a shot of the ring on a small ‘black marble disc’.

Not every recovery is dramatic. Sometimes it’s just a hot day, a bit of luck, and knowing how to read a yard full of distractions. But every recovery is meaningful — especially when it involves something as personal as a wedding band.

If you’ve lost a ring or something valuable — don’t give up. And definitely don’t mow the lawn. 😅

Two Very Important Lost Rings Found After Kids Day At The Beach

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

NORTH TOPSAIL, NC                                                                                        By: Crystal Coast Ring Finders

I was taking advantage of the calm Atlantic Ocean waves by metal detecting the waist deep waters of Emerald Isle, NC.  My phone, in it’s waterproof case, rang and I came out of the water to return the call.  Jeff informed me his wife Kim had lost 2 of her rings on the beach about an hour away from my current location.  I told Jeff I would load up the truck and head that way as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, Kim & Jeff informed me she was spending the day at the beach and removed her rings to apply sunscreen to the kids.  She became distracted and wasn’t sure where she placed them but feels they were on the beach blanket.  It wasn’t until she returned home to shower that she noticed her rings were missing.  Kim went back to the location and tried to search and found the area (because of a dead crab nearby).   Kim was unable to dig out the rings from the sand.  Marking the location was very important as I started to grid search the area and after one pass, I turned to start a second search line, and my metal detector sounded off very loudly.  I looked up at Jeff & Kim and smiled.  I was almost certain I had found them under the sand.  My pinpointer confirmed the location and I used my hand to scoop the rings to the surface.   Kim came a running after spotting the large cigar style ring.

Four rings lost and found at Popham Beach State Park in Popham, Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I was referred by fellow Ring Finder Dennis Boothby to Kimberly who had lost 4 rings while vacationing at Popham Beach, and had already returned home to Pennsylvania. When I was initially contacted one the rings had been found in the sand and turned into the Park Ranger. I travelled to the site without optimism as a week had passed and the rings being on a public beach could have easily been found by another detectorist. After about 30 minutes of searching I recovered the rings in the general vicinity of where Kimberly had reported them being lost. I made the phone call to report my success which was well received with a joyous and tearful response.
