New Haven CT Channel 8 news meeting CT’s own Treasure Hunter August 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

I was asked to be interviewed by Ann Nyberg a celebrated and award-winning anchorperson for Channel 8 news in CT. We discussed my start in detecting 37 years ago, my membership in three CT clubs Nutmeg Treasure Hunters, Yankee Territory Coin shooters, and Southern New England Relic Hunters and most recently my membership in the @theringfinders,com organization. Ann asked my favorite find over the years and there’s been so many that it was hard to choose just one. But I chose a very meaningful one for me that was about a young boy losing his heirloom Grandfathers ring in the ocean and giving up hope until his mother contacted me and after three tries of narrowing the location where he had been playing catch in the ocean and using his hand drawn treasure map , I was able to locate the ring. His mother cooked a meal for our club, and we awarded the ring back that night and she honored me with a beautiful St Anthony medal.

Branford Point Beach CT Platinum diamond ring returned from the ocean August 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Vanessa and Jacob had been visiting a neighborhood beach and while playing pass with a football she noticed her platinum diamond ring had slipped off her finger. They started searching in the water to no avail. They went out and bought a metal detector and came back in the evening to look for it. After finding just a hair clip they did a search for ring finders. My name came up and they gave me a quick call to inquire about my services.

During the conversation she mentioned that her husband had been a former student. That’s a small world!

I came right away at 9:00 am since they had tickets to a basketball game and needed to leave the area by noon.

They had placed a rock at the suggestion of a kind lady on the beach as a marker to where they had noticed the ring was missing. The entire area was about a thirty-yard stretch of beach and knee to waist deep water. I gridded the area very thoroughly and could not get a solid target. They needed to leave and were still hopeful because I told them that I was committed to finding this ring and for them to pray. They very concerned that it might now be lost.

Since I know in excitement of the moment judging distances can be difficult and rings are seldom found where you expect them to turn up.  I widened the search area and since the tide had gone pretty far out started detecting the wet sand. A solid platinum level signal echoed in my headphones, and I exclaimed to everyone in ear shot that I had found the ring we had been looking for during the last 3 hours.

After a quick call to catch them before they left for the game they excitedly came back to the beach and were absolutely astonished that the ring was only a few feet from the placement of the lucky rock. They decided they also wanted to keep the rock as a memory of the day. The special lady on the beach saved the rock to give to them. we plan to get together again to reenact the moment and share the excitement of the recovery for their family and friends.

Misquamicut CT Platinum and gold heirloom wedding ring out of the surf July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

John started the day having fun at Misquamicut and body surfing in the large waves that are pretty typical of this location. He suddenly felt the gold and platinum wedding ring slip off his finger and into the surf as he was washed forward with the wave. At that point he considered it to be a hopeless and lost cause. But some friends encouraged by my recent finds that had been posted on Facebook contacted me with the details of where he was in the surf at the time and gave me a pretty good place to start.

After a short gridding pattern and an adjustment for the tide and reported location that his friend had shared with me, the next solid signal resulted in his gold ring in the scoop. I went over to everyone on the beach to tell them the good news.

I then facetimed his wife who could not believe it and, in her amazement, expressed the joy that her prayers were answered. I teased John by sending him a picture of the ring and astounded he asked how his ring was now out of the surf and in my hands. He admitted he had given up all hope. I could feel the joy over the phone and his renewed faith in the prayers that his wife and others had shared.

A miracle in the surf praise prayer and glory to God to grant their wishes. When I met him at Dunkin donuts to give back his ring, he treated me to breakfast and honored me with a wonderful rosary from Assisi and a beautiful ceramic Saint Anthony medal. I also gave him two Saint Anthony medals for his wife and for their friend that had given me some really good directions and a lead as to where to start in the surf.

Football Fling in Ocean Results in Lost Ring – Found and Returned

NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, NC                                                                            By Crystal Coast Ring Finders
Adam’s wife shared a heartfelt plea on social media, asking for help in finding Adam’s wedding band, which had been lost in the water. By the time I had enough information to begin the search, they had already returned to Ohio. They estimated the ring was about 40-50 yards out from the beach, and my search confirmed they were right. After covering a span of five houses while water hunting, I finally hit a good signal. As I lifted my sand scoop from the waist-deep water and the sand sifted out, there it was—Adam’s ring nestled among a few shells. Some ladies watching my gear from the shoreline were amazed when I found it. Adam’s ring was one of two white gold wedding bands I recovered that day. I mailed his ring back to Ohio and waited for a photo of Adam with the ring back on his finger. Though Adam had some bad luck, falling ill after the vacation, he was healing when his son captured the moment of his dad wearing the ring again. I’m grateful to the family for trusting me to recover and return such a meaningful item!

Pictures From A Day At The Beach Leads To Lost Gold Wedding Band Being Found On Very Wide Beach

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

Emerald Isle, NC

Anne messaged Crystal Coast Ring Finders. She explained she may have lost a gold ring on the beach. She removed her ring and placed it in a backpack. They used the backpack to bike ride a few miles up to a nearby park. The next morning, I met Anne very early and we proceeded to the location. Anne lost the ring two days prior and tried to locate the ring while raking the sand surface the day after she lost it. Upon arrival, I could still see where she searched and started my hunt over that area. Unfortunately, I did not find anything except a few pieces of garbage metal. I asked Anne if anyone took any pictures of the area and this was the key to figure out exactly where they had set up during the beach visit. I began searching more to the Southwest. My XP Deus II locked onto a very loud signal. Seconds later, Anne’s custom made green gold wedding band was back in the sunlight.

Thank you Mabel (Anne’s young pup) for the assistance and entertainment!

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!!!

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.
