Aaron lost his ring while tossing a nerf football with his friend down by the water. He was very distraught about his Platinum Ring falling into the ocean and had already called his wife to let her know.
When I arrived he showed me the area where they were playing and I started my search but soon Aaron said he hadn’t gone that far so I tried the other side of the search area and soon received a nice signal on my detector.
After I dug down with my scoop I rinsed out the sand and saw a large sand crab and in the corner of my scoop was also his ring. I said to him,”look at the sand crab I found” and he looked in the scoop and was very surprised when he saw his ring.

Lauren & Rick were spending some time along the Crystal Coast. While staying in a beach house rental, Rick gave his wife his wedding ring to hold while he took a dip in the ocean. Lauren placed his ring on her finger and stayed on the beach with their puppy. The pup made a sudden move towards Rick and the lunge caused his wedding ring to go flying into the sand.
12 days later, Lauren contacted me and I headed out that day. A lot of favorable conditions made this recovery possible.
As I was metal detecting in the water on South Beach Miami Beach A couple of guys approached me and asked me to search for a gold chain for them. I spent two or so hours looking for it but after analyzing the situation and having only found beer cans and pennies. I thought we needed to go further out. The problem was it was getting to be the highest tide. So I took a break and waited until the tide went out further they agreed and after signing the contract. I continued to search way out for another 1 hour or so with little results. After discussing the possibility of a need to come back another day and or switching to another metal detector with better sensitivity. I got a target.!!! And brought up the gold chain in the picture. The owner was sooooo happy to get his chain back.


Amy emailed me to see if I could help locate her husband Matt’s custom made white gold wedding band, which was lost as he swam in front of their Hopkins Pond Camp, in Clifton, Maine. Despite very clear water and minimal bottom silt, the search area was challenging due to being strewn with rocks and boulders. Upon exhausting my first tank of air, I began to fear the ring may have slipped into one of the many deep crevices and out of detector range. Shortly after starting my second dive, my Minelab Equinox 600 located the ring in 9 feet of water, buried in a thin layer of silt. A portion of the generous reward received will be donated to The Landing Place in Rockland, Maine to help their efforts to combat homelessness of local teens and young adults.

I received a call from Jacob this evening requesting my service to locate his wife’s rose gold wedding band which she lost in their back yard on Saturday morning.
An hour later, I meet Jacob and his wife Abi at their home. Abi explained that she was doing Yoga exercises on her patio and had removed her ring and placed the ring on her Yoga mat. When she was finished she picked the mat up, shook the mat towards her lawn, rolled the mat up and then went into the house.
About ten minutes later Abi realized what she had done and quickly went out to search for her ring with no luck. Jacob then rented a metal detector and told me that he did not understand how to operate it, and had spent a few hours searching but had been unable to find the ring.
I searched their lawn for an hour with no luck, then I asked Abi to get her mat out and show me exactly what she had done. We used a test ring and noticed that the tester ring rolled backwards and ended on the other side of her patio into the grass and not the direction they thought the ring flew. I found the ring just off the concrete patio which made the ring very difficult to locate with all the rebar to the untrained ear that’s why Jacob was unable to find the ring with all the different ring tones his detector produced.
Jacob and Abi were so relived that the ring was found and back on her finger.
Thank you Jacob and Abi for entrusting me to locate your wedding band.
Another very happy client.
Ken emailed me last evening requesting my service to locate his ring which he had lost a week ago at a pickleball court. I emailed him back to have him call me to get more information on his loss.
Ken told me the ring was handed down to him by his mother and had been his father’s ring. As it was very sentimental to him, Ken spent hours looking for the ring with no luck and had even put a poster up along the court hoping that someone would find it.
Six days had passed and it had still not been found. A friends wife suggested that he contact me through the Ring Finders website.
She told him if someone could find the ring it would be Norm. At first Ken was reluctant to call but a day later decided that he had nothing to lose. Ken contacted me and we agreed to meet at 4:00 pm today at the court.
At the pickleball court Ken explained to me that once they came off the court, there was a table set up with hand sanitizer. The sanitizer was very oily and he had walked onto a patch of grass while rubbing his hands together. This is the area he thought his ring had fallen off, he searched for it and even had the maintenance man cut the grass with no ring in sight.
With all the players at the court that day and all the gatherings around the table Ken’s ring had been stepped on which made it impossible to see with a naked eye. It took me less than three minute to have Ken’s ring back on his finger.
Thank you Ken for entrusting me to find your late fathers ring.
Another Very Very Happy Client.
Received a call regarding a men’s gold band that “flung” off while shaking out a blanket on the beach. The client explained that he and his wife were in town celebrating their one year anniversary. Took a short ride over and met up with client, his ring was recovered several minutes later.
