Hello Stan! My name is jessica . I lost my wedding ring on vacation on Huntington Beach to the right side of the pier and lifeguard station while on vacation 2 weeks ago. It slipped off in the water when I jumped in and I was devastated to say the least. I went back the next day to look in addition to that called the local police and main lifeguard station to see if anyone had found anything. If you could be any help to me I can absolutely offer u a reward. Seeing as how I live in Sacramento there isn’t a lot I can do…. let me know if you can help and if so what I can do for you in terms of payment. My phone number is 916-xxx-xxxx email is xxxxxx. Thank you, I hope to hear from you soon!

She called after my reply to her. While talking to Jessica we determined that she wasn’t at Huntington Beach, she was actually at Newport Beach. We also compared the time that it was lost with the tide height. After 11 days I felt we still had a chance to find the ring because this is a hard packed flat beach. Our only concern would be that it is heavily hunted by other detectorists.

I was out the next afternoon at .5ft low tide. After an hour of grid searching out to knee deep water. I got a great signal that turned out to be Jessica’s ring. A strange thing happened when I scooped into the sand, I also captured a large sand crab in the scoop with the ring. I couldn’t believe I was able to find it the first attempt. My plan was to give three or four tries because it is only a couple miles from where I live.

First thing I did was to text Jessica with a picture of the ring. She immediately returned a call to me. It was awesome to hear the excitement she expressed to me. The next morning I was able to mail it to her by next day mail. It was worth the extra money to get it to her ASAP. No buddy can be anymore surprised than me that this ring was lost in 4 or 5ft. of water and went through more than 20 tide changes, still it stayed within range to be found with a metal detector. I’m getting used to seeing miracles, one reason I say « I Will Try Anywhere ».

 

Small Gold Heirloom Ring more than 60 Years old lost in sand two weeks ago.. Brittany called late in the afternoon. She told me that she was telling a friend about losing a ring in the sand. Her friend told her about TheRingFinders.com, so Brittany googled the website contacting me. She apologized that she she hadn’t called me earlier because she didn’t know a service like this existed. She said that she thought it was a long shot but worth a call.
It was a family heirloom that had belonged to fiancé Nick’s grandmother. For the past few weeks it has haunted her that they knew it fell into the sand that day. After hours of searching that day they had to leave thinking I was impossible to find such a small ring in so much dry sand.
We talked for a few minutes on the phone. She said it definitely fell out of their backpack near the towel line of the beach. Normally this area of the beach doesn’t get detected much. It was worth a try to give it an hour search. I didn’t need her to meet me there because, I knew the exact location.
After 30 minutes of running 40ft. grid lines on my 8th pass. I got a nice 12-06 ID reading on my CTX Minelab metal detector. The nice low solid tone indicated the gold ring would be in my scoop and it turned out to be right on point.. Brittany’s ring was there ready to be returned before the night was finished. We met at at a local Starbucks in less than two hours after she called me.. Two weeks of worrying were over and now the ring is where it belongs.
If you have a plugged up sink you call a plumber, If you lose a ring you call a member of TheRingFinders metal detector service.

Brittany’s Story:
I just wanted to pass this along and let people know that a service like this exists. The people of The Ring Finders will go search for your lost article of jewelry with a metal detector and get it back to you if it’s there where you describe. My fiancé and I had lost a gold ring at the beach and thought it was a gonner. We were both so upset because it has such sentimental value being his grandmothers ring.

We waited two weeks to call because we didn’t know about it (the website) and when we did we didn’t believe it would be possible to find it even with a metal detector.

We couldn’t believe that when we finally did call, Stanley found it within an hour!

He went out just as it was about to get dark and lightly rain and found it for us! We asked how much his services are and he said that he does it for a gratuity and only want to help people out because at The Ring Finders they understand that rings have so much more value then what the gold is worth.

We are so grateful for Stanley and for The Ring Finders!

Casey came in from surfing to take his ring off, because he felt his fingers shrinking in the cold water. As he knelt down next to his surfboard in the sand, he pulled his ring off his finger. The ring just popped off suddenly flying in the sand. It was a plain white gold band that represented 10 years of marriage.

After asking Casey a couple questions about what had happened, I consoled him that if he could wait in the area we could easily find his ring. We met about 45 minutes later.
He showed me his actions as best he could remember. I started a grid that I thought would be a quick find. 20’x 20′ area. No ring! We moved the surfboard starting to grid search the other side. Boom! The sweet sound of gold. Casey’s ring in the scoop. Amazing how far the ring flew as he pulled the ring from his finger. Casey is from Chicago, now living and working in sunny So.Cal. A nice guy and a pleasure to help him find his special ring.
