Lost Wedding Band Dropped on the Beach Found and Returned by Crystal Coast Ring Finders

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

David shared that he had placed his phone and wedding ring in a beach bag before heading for a swim at Topsail Beach. He suspected that someone might have pulled an item from the bag, causing the ring to fall out. I arranged to meet David early the next morning to begin the search. After uncovering a few deep targets and two dimes, my XP metal detector gave a loud, solid signal outside the coin range. As David walked towards the water, I called out, « This looks promising. » Moments later, I retrieved David’s platinum wedding band from the sandy beach.

Lost Drum Key in Skaha Lake…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

If you’ve lost your ring or any jewelry, car keys, cell phones, Call ASAP 24/7  Service- Chris 778-838-3463

Taking a break up in the Okanogan and Detecting some beautiful lakes, I happen to be at Skaha Lake when a young man came up to me and asked me if my metal detector could find a stainless steel key. I replied yes and got him to tell me the story about this particular key that was lost in waste deep water two weeks ago.

He told me it was a drum key and that he owned it for 40 years and used it to tune up his drums at his events/gigs.

I thought maybe somebody had already found it because these beaches get detected a lot, I told him to show me the exact area where he believed it was lost and I’d take a look…within five minutes he had his drum key back. Not your typical diamond engagement ring or wedding band, but for him this was very sentimental. He was a professional drummer, and this was like losing a ring for him.

I could tell how happy he was to get it back. I love my job. Sometimes it’s just serendipity how we come in contact with people, he lived across the street and he’d been looking for the last couple weeks every day in hope that he might find it. I happened to be at that beach at the same he was there… Timing is everything!

 

I love my Job!

Grandfather’s Gold Wedding Band on a Gold Chain Found After Being Lost on North Topsail, NC Beach

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

Jon’s family arrived for a few days vacation and spent the morning enjoying the beach, waves, and weather. Jon took off his necklace, which held his late grandfather’s wedding band, and placed it on his lap. It wasn’t until they returned to their room that Jon realized his necklace was missing. That evening, Jon’s wife made a social media post hoping for its return, but I felt she revealed too much information about its location. I came across her post, sent her a private message, and reached out to her after some detective work. We connected quickly, and I headed to North Topsail Beach. Despite doubts about finding the necklace after 12 hours, I met Jon, who described the events of the day before heading back to his room. I began my search, and after a few passes, my machine picked up a non-ferrous signal. Using my pinpointer, I located the target, scooped into the sand, and uncovered the gold chain, pulling it from its sandy hiding spot.

White Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a husband, (Ben), saying his wife lost her wedding ring in the front yard and that they had tried finding it with a metal detector, but had not located it. They had a very large front yard, but had marked off an area they thought it would be, because he had to run the mower. The area he thought it would be had not been cut. The temperatures those days were at the 95 degree range and I was in the full sun with no relief from any shade. The first day I spent around 4-5 hours finding nothing but surface items that sounded like a ring, small pieces of foil. I had completely covered the entire area he thought it would be. I was spent from the heat, so I came back the next day and expanded the search area. After around 4 hours I was well outside of the original search area by around 60 feet or so and I got a consistent 17 on my Manticore and it seemed to be on the surface because of the double beep. I had found it, but there was a problem. It was in the area that had been mowed and had been damaged from being run over with the mower tire. The band had been bent, had a small stone missing, and the main setting stone was loose. So as soon as I could I put it in a small zip lock bag so if anything else came loose it would not get lost.

Stamford Rings: Miracle recovery in the sand, August 2025

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

Susan and her son were spending a nice day at the beach and she took off her rings for safekeeping and placed them in her shirt pocket. Later in the day when leaving she went to put them ion while heading out and noticed her pockets were empty. She turned around and went right back to the beach which started a series of events. Her and her son started sifting the sand with a fishnet and her husband arrived and stayed until closing searching with a small detector.

They decided that outside help was needed and looked up @theringfinders.com and got my name. I cam the next morning and began my search in an area we had marked off. After gridding the area for a short time, I expanded the search a bit further and got my first solid hit and a platinum wedding band emerged from the sand and ringed with diamonds. Not the task was to find the second ring. After an extensive search in the immediate area there was no engagement ring to be found. We relived the previous day’s activities, simulating sitting in the beach chair and removing her shirt to see how a simulated ring would fall out.

I’ve now gone back three times and during the last attempt had the assistance of another detectorist and possible future ring finder and still the ring is not to be found. It’s very possible that it had been picked up. The couple purchased a detector and giving them a few tips they will continue the search. During the last search, she found a ladybug sitting on a shell and gave it to me for good luck. When I first met her, I had given her a St Anthony medal and in hopes that prayer and divine intervention would again help recover both rings. It was a miracle we found one and the other may require another miracle.

Lost my Car Keys on the beach, What should I do ?, Island Beach State Park, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Arlene’s day at Island Beach State Park with her family took a frustrating turn when they realized her car keys were missing. As they had spent part of the day digging a massive « moon crater » in the sand, searching for the keys in the fading light became impossible. With no luck finding them, the situation escalated into a stressful evening. They called for an Uber, only to be denied entry at the guard shawl. Leading them to reach out to the park police. Fortunately, the police were helpful, giving them a ride to the guard shack where they could catch a ride home to retrieve spare keys and eventually return to pick up their car.

Arlene called me the next day, hoping I could help her locate the missing keys. I assured her that car keys usually don’t bury themselves too deeply in the sand, so we had a good chance of success. I arrived early at the beach and began searching near a hole I found. When Arlene arrived, she explained that I was in the wrong spot—it was actually further down the beach. She pointed to a few possible locations, but with the beach looking completely different after a day, it was hard for her to pinpoint the exact spot.

We noticed another large area farther from the dune walkover, which seemed like a better candidate for where the moon crater had been. While Arlene reviewed some pictures, I continued my search. Soon, I got a strong signal, and sure enough, her keys were buried over a foot deep in the sand. When I handed them to her, she suddenly remembered that they had been in her pocket, not on the cooler as she originally thought. They must have fallen out when they were filling in the crater, but luckily, they weren’t buried at the bottom of the three-foot-deep hole. If that had been the case, my detector wouldn’t have been able to pick them up, and Arlene would have been stuck with the costly task of replacing the key fob.

In the end, I was thrilled to find the keys for her, especially after the ordeal she had gone through the night before. What started as a stressful situation turned into relief, and it all worked out.

Pendant lost at Ocean Beach found

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

Dylan was playing volleyball at Ocean Beach and lost an important family heirloom pendant in the process. He jumped up against the net and the pendant or necklace snagged on the netting and the necklace broke, sending the pendant somewhere in the soft sand. The game stopped, everyone try to find it, but, all efforts were futile. Dylan called me for help and we arranged to meet later that afternoon. When the time came, I grabbed my gear, stopped to pick up my detecting buddy Dave and headed to the site. The beach and volleyball courts were mobbed, but, we managed to find a parking spot and eventually, Dylan. He had sent me a photo of what it looked like, described it’s size/composition, and explained it’s importance to him. After just a few minutes, my buddy Dave came up with it. A very happy Dylan could now enjoy the rest of his day knowing that the pendant was not lost forever, and was back where it belonged. A pleasure to meet you and thanks for the reward.

Received a call from Tom. He explained that his wife had dropped her diamond ring somewhere between the beach entrance and where they set up on the beach. Took the short ride over from home and met up with Tom at the entrance to Philadelphia beach. Tom led me from the entrance of the beach to where his party had set up their belongings for the day. I checked the path to their site while he directed me to it with a few coins found along the way. One reaching their site I met Toms wife Thanh and bean checking around their cabana. With the first swing I heard a familiar tone. One shallow scoop later I had Thanh’s ring in the scoop, much to the couples relief! Another happy couple!

How To Find Lost Ring in the Sand, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Samantha called about her lost ring, which had slipped off and disappeared into the sand. I met her on the beach, and she pointed out the area where she thought it had fallen. I got right to work, and within 10 minutes, the ring was safely in my sand scoop, though Samantha didn’t know it yet.

As I continued scanning the area, a man came over, asking if I could help him find his lost phone. I told him I’d keep an eye out for it while I was working. During our conversation, I mentioned I was currently looking for a ring and described Samantha’s. I looked at him with a smile and said, “I bet it looks just like this,” before reaching into my scoop and pulling out the ring.

Samantha was completely caught off guard—she had no idea I had already found her ring. Her eyes widened in shock, and she almost fell over in disbelief. It was a great moment, and we all shared a good laugh afterward.
