Cocoa Beach Florida Lost gold wedding ring found by Ring Finder Mike McInroe

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Andy was visiting friends here in Cocoa Beach, Florida and after a day out fishing in the Atlantic Ocean they pulled their boat into the loading dock area and Andy decided he needed to rinse the fish smell off of his hands. So he laid down on the dock and while rinsing his hands in the warm salt water his gold wedding ring slipped off of his finger and disappeared into the depths below the dock! Of course he was shocked and immediately waded out into the water but soon realized the water was way too deep to even try and attempt a dive. Someone suggested calling a Ring Finder and they contacted Al Zenker, a local member of theringfinders.com but unfortunately he does not do deep water recoveries and he recommended they call me. I met Andy and his friends at the dock and checked the depth to be sure my Blu3 Nemo dive system would allow me to search the bottom effectively and it measured just over 10 and a half feet deep so I was good to go!

I suited up and set a PVC marker pole at the spot where Andy’s ring fell into the water. Visibility was just over a foot and as I descended to the bottom I immediately got a couple of signals. A rusty screw driver, a deep signal and then a sharp clear signal and my hand felt something round and smooth and I slipped it on my index finger. As I ascended to the surface I came out of the water finger first and watched Andy’s face. He was visibly in awe that I had actually found it and was so thankful and grateful to have his lost ring back once again!

Lost gold ring in the sand at Ormond Beach, Florida…Found!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



This ring recovery began late Friday evening when I received a desperate text from a young lady who while talking on the phone made a random gesture and her very sentimental ring fell off of her hand and disappeared into the sand at her feet. Her father and sister immediately began running their fingers through the sand but somehow they could not seem to be able to find the lost ring. This was a very special ring which was given to Jasmine when she was 10 years old by her grandmother and Jasmine wears it all the time! Having recently lost a little weight her ring was just a bit loose! Jasmine’s father purchased a couple of small kids dipping nets thinking maybe that would help but no matter what they tried…nothing seemed to help. Someone suggested they call one of The Ring Finders and that is how they got my number. It was almost midnight when Jasmine called so by the time I gathered my equipment and made the drive it was getting on to 1:30am and thankfully they were able to accurately mark the exact area where she dropped her ring. It only took a minute to get the sweet sound of gold from my Deus 2 metal detector and I motioned for Jasmine to come and assist in locating her own lost ring by using my trusty Garrett pin pointer. As we knelt there in the sand and watched the little flashing light and listened to the beeping sound as she moved it closer to her lost ring…it was a moment of sheer joy as Jasmine gently picked up her ring and held it close with mixed emotions! What an honor it was to help this beautiful young lady and her family and to see the relief it brought them!

Property stakes found by Florida Ring Finder, Mike McInroe, with a metal detector in Lake Mary Florida.

Pete was needing to locate two of his property stakes and gave me a call. With the help of a kind neighbor who loaned him a blue print copy of their subdivision with measurements and possible corner markers, we set about using my metal detector to find his missing property stakes. It took some digging and measuring but an hour later we were successful. It is always a pleasure helping people in need and Pete was thrilled as ever to find what he was desperately looking for.

Lost diamond engagement ring in pond, Melbourne, Florida recovered by Mike McInroe Florida Ring Finder

Anna and her fiancee were relaxing by the pool and for safe keeping she rolled her diamond engagement ring in the corner of their towel on the lounge chair. And after a nice swim they decided to lay out in the sun and her fiancee grabbed the towel off the chair and Anna’s ring went flying through a safety fence and dropped into the pond water on the other side of the fence. Stunned, she just stood there not wanting to believe what had just happened! They asked the condo management if they could use the pool skimmer net and try and scrape the ring up off the bottom of the pond but their efforts were futile. The water was at least 7 foot deep and they soon realized that they needed specialized help and after a quick search on Google they came across theringfinders.com and decided to call Al Zenker, a member of theringfinders and he came out and gave them some advice, which was to call me as I am scuba certified and live fairly close by. So after hearing Austin and Anna’s story it was obvious that a dive was required so we made plans to meet up the next day.

Most all of the small ponds in central Florida are silty and mud covered bottoms that can be very difficult to navigate and search, especially when searching for such a small item like a ring…BUT…Anna was quite sure about where exactly her ring dropped into the water and that made it so much easier. I just wanted to test the pond bottom so I walked out from shore along the cement block wall/foundation and immediately noticed the bottom was sandy and gravel mixed, which would be 100% easier to search than the mud and silt I was anticipating! Plus the blocks were stacked pyramid style with out rebar and that too made it easier to search. As I slowly descended to the bottom I started getting signals…washers, pieces of copper wire, screws and then one large target that was quite deep. And at the end of each pass of my NOKTA Pulse Dive hand held pinpointer I would go all the way to the base of the block pool foundation and that is where I heard a nice repeatable signal that proved to be exactly what I was looking for! Anna’s lost diamond engagement ring was pushed right up against the block and when I surfaced and showed Anna what I had found, she started shaking! Her emotions were running high and the feelings of relief and thankfulness were so strong she had to sit down and calm herself and let reality sink in…she had her precious ring back once again! So I thank God for leading me and using me to help and bless others!

Lost gold ring in water, Withlacoochee River, Hernando County Florida…found by Florida Ring Finder!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Bennie and his friends were enjoying the day along the Withlacoochee River swimming and taking turns swinging on a rope over the water. As Bennie let go of the rope he felt his gold ring come off of his finger and a sick feeling came over him. This was a very special ring given to him by his father 5 years ago and he has treasured it ever since. And now it had fallen into the depths of the silty river bottom! He and his friends tried diving down and feeling with their hands but the 8 foot depth and uneven bottom was more of a challenge than they could endure. Bennie called his mother and told her what happened and she went online and found Mr. Steve Thomas who is one of the Ring Finders in the West Florida area but unfortunately he only does shallow water and land searches so he recommended they call me to see if I could help them. After hearing their story I decided to meet them at the sight the following day. It was a 2 hour drive but we finally arrived and began setting up my PVC grid, my BLU3 Nemo dive system, mask, wet suit and fins. Bennie was very sure of where he and his ring fell into the water so down I went and began searching along my PVC grid that was setting on the bottom. The first 2 signals were deeper in the sand so I left them and the 3rd signal was louder on my hand held Pulse Dive unit and there sitting on top of the sandy bottom was Bennie’s lost gold ring! I really wanted to continue searching for other targets as the rope swing area was a favorite for the locals but I had noticed just before my entering the water that there was a group of people just waiting for me to finish up so they could enjoy jumping off of the tree and swinging on the rope…so I slowly ascended with Bennie’s gold ring tucked safely in my finds pouch. Bennie was intently watching me as I swam up to shore and as I smiled and gestured with a thumbs up…he began grinning from ear to ear! What a thrill it is to be able to conduct a search, find the lost item and then to return it to someone that is hurting and feeling a great heaviness and loss! And then to experience seeing them transform to happiness and joy and see more tears…only these are tears of sheer relief and thankfulness!

I always pray and ask God to help me be a blessing to each person that calls me for my assistance. How can I help you today? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk! 321-363-6029

RJ and his friend were enjoying an evening of relaxing, watching TV and later in the evening he noticed his gold chain on the floor and his gold pendent had disappeared. This pendant is very special as it was gifted to him by his parents when he was 16 years old and he wears it ALL the time. They tried searching everywhere…inside and outside…for a couple of hours and that is when RJ went online to search for a metal detecting service for some professional help. It was a Sunday and Fathers Day to boot and we were just finishing up our lunch when he called. My dear wife and I made the drive and as we were driving up to the house we prayed that God would help us find RJ’s pendant and that we would be a blessing to him and his family. So after hearing RJ’s story I decided to search the outside grassy area first as the sky was getting dark and thunder was rumbling off in the distance. RJ had indicated a 30 foot area on the grass where they had spent some time and I set out my markers and cleared that area rather quickly and I then decided to expand another 30 feet radius and it didn’t take long and there laying in the gras, shining in the hot afternoon Florida sun was RJ’s lost gold pendant! RJ and his wife were ecstatic! We talked and visited for an hour or so and as we headed home we prayed again and thanked God for directing us and using us to help and bless RJ and his dear wife and kids!

Lost Kershaw pocket knife, Panama City Beach, Florida…found with a metal detector!

Mike and his wife were enjoying their week at a condo in north Florida and somehow he dropped his favorite knife in the sand and it just disappeared without a trace. For the next few days he tried looking for it but the soft sand seemed to have swallowed it up and he pretty much gave up hope of ever seeing it again. My wife and I arrived on Wednesday to spend a few days with friends and of course I had brought my metal detector along and the first evening of our stay I grabbed my metal detector and Xtreme scoop and wandered down onto the beach. I started detecting around the nightly fire pit and that is when Mike and Debbie approached me and Mike told me about his lost pocket knife. I assured him that I would definitely be on the lookout and would let him know if I happened to dig it up. Two hours later and quite a ways down the beach I got a signal that sounded more iron than non-ferros but I chose to investigate none the less and after kicking away a few inches of sand…there was a black pocket knife that had the brand name of Kershaw on the belt clip. That was the exact brand that Mike said he had lost and he could not believe it when I showed him my discovery! Mike’s wife said he carries his knife where ever he goes and has had that knife for many years. It is made right here in America and Mike is carrying it again today!
Again I thank the Lord for helping me find and return Mike’s knife and for giving me the opportunity to be a blessing and being able to meet such a kind and lovely couple!

Lost wedding ring New Smyrna Beach, Florida…found with a metal detector and returned to owner.

Jonathan was enjoying a warm sunny day at New Smyrna Beach with his family and friends and as they packed up their things and were driving home he noticed that his white gold and platinum wedding ring was not on his finger. He thought back to when he last remembered having his ring and sometime during the day he recalled taking his ring off and either he « thought » he put it in his pocket or may have set it down on a towel…he was not exactly sure! Later he searched through his things and at one point he remembered throwing some items into the trash but for the life of him he could not recall exactly what happened. He found The Ring Finders online and gave me a call. So early the next morning we met at the beach and Jonathan showed me the exact area where he and his family had staked out their two canopy tents and he assured me that he spent most of his time sitting in the shade as he watched all the activity and commotion going on around him. So I began my grid search wide of the area thinking that his ring could have fallen anywhere in the general area. I dug up two small pieces of foil and then 5 minutes later I got a nice strong signal that I was sure had to be Jonathans lost ring. I called him over to watch as I slowly brushed the sand away and a small glimmer of gold revealed itself. Jonathan was thrilled to see his lost ring sitting there in the sand just waiting for him to pick it up and slip it back on his finger.

How I thank God for allowing me to be a help and blessing to Jonathan and the thrill never gets old when finding something that was lost and being able to reunite it again with it’s rightful owner!

Kendall was attending a horse riding show as a participant in Marion County Florida when in her rush to comb out her horse’s tail she lost a very precious ring that her loving father had given her when she was 16 years old. She actually felt her ring slip off but it landed in the sawdust covered horse stall and it immediately disappeared. But she was in a hurry and did not want to be late for her showing and thought that when she was finished she would find her lost ring. After her ride she returned to the stall and began looking through the saw dust and horse manure but for all her efforts she was unable to find her lost gold ring! She posted her dilemma on Facebook and someone sent her my name and said « Call Mike…he will help you! ». So later that day I met Kendall and was able to find her lost ring which was mixed in quite well with all the sawdust and horse chips.

Thank you Kendall for calling and trusting me to find your precious lost ring…it truly was my honor and privilege!

Victor was doing some yard work, like planting some small trees and spreading new dirt and mulch. He spent most of the morning in the same spot and when he was all finished he noticed that his rose gold wedding ring was not on his finger any more. He was 95% sure he lost it in the dirt or mulch and he knew that it would take the rest of the day to go through all the dirt and mulch plus the area looked so nice and he just hated to tear it all up! So he looked on line and found theringfinders.com website and decided to give me a call. I am usually always available so I showed up at Victor’s home and within 5 minutes I dug a bottle cap and his lost wedding ring, which was down in the dirt a good 8 inches and rang up as an #80 on my Deus 2 metal detector! Victor was very relieved to have his lost wedding ring back and I was super thankful to be a blessing to him as well.
