Ring lost at Coronado Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Mitch and his wife were in town for a convention and spent the day at the beach in Coronado. Mitch managed to lose his wedding ring in the dry sand in a very popular area both for people who sunbathe, and also for detectorists to search for buried treasure. It had been lost more than a day when I got the call, so, it’s always possible that someone could have already found it. It was still worth a try though, so, off I went to give it a go. Since Mitch was at the convention, I met up with his wife (who Ubered over from their hotel) at the site and started my grid in the area they had been camped. Several minutes later and not a single target, I was beginning to think the area had already been cleaned of targets, but, then I got a nice low tone I had been wanting to hear. Sure enough, it was Mitch’s ring! They had a lunch planned soon, so, I drove both of us over to their hotel so they could make their lunch date. In my hurry, I forgot to take some photos, but, Mitch’s wife was nice enough to send me this photo. A pleasure to meet you, and thank you for the reward.

A « FAREWELL » WAVE RESULTS IN LOST WEDDING RING THAT WAS SWIFTLY RECOVERED!!! 🌊

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)


Allison and Mitch were enjoying their yearly vacation at Emerald Isle, NC. Allison went to rinse her wedding band in the damp sand when suddenly, an unexpected wave surged up the beach, snatching the ring from her fingers. A man from a neighboring group overheard their plight and suggested the Crystal Coast Ring Finders, which he had read about. Mitch contacted me roughly 20 minutes after the loss. When I arrived, I learned that another detectorist had detected a signal in the surf but failed to retrieve it, marking the location with a shovel. Allison believed she was slightly east of the marked spot when the ring slipped away. Venturing a few times into the turbulent surf, I picked up a strong signal in the wet sand. With one scoop, I unearthed the sand, and both Allison and I saw her ring as it tumbled out of the main sand pile. The exquisite band, a perfect complement to her engagement ring, was finally back in its rightful place.

This one is hard to swallow.

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)

Had a call from Tyler.  While sitting in his back yard eating a sandwich, his gold tooth disappeared. He searched the clover patch in front of him with no luck. That’s when I was called him. I assured him that if he knew what, where and when it happened I would find it. I arrived, and searched the ground. No luck. Every possible signal was either buried or not the tooth. The detective in me took over. We checked pockets, cuffs and everything else. Still no ring. That left me with one possibility. After removing his belt, and every other piece of metal, I scanned his stomach.  Sure enough, a soft 62 on my AT Pro. I had him turn around and I scanned again. Same result. Found it. It’s a waiting game now.

Brewster, MA Platinum Band Returned 11 Years After Loss – Rick Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 25, 2024:

Returns are getting hard to believe. My last return was of a ring I found 2 years ago. The owner contacted me after seeing a post of another ring I had returned.

While out detecting with a friend we stopped at one beach, just because it was on our way home. It took about 5 minutes to grab our gear from the van, reminisce about finding a platinum ring many years ago and head for the water. At the water’s edge very close to where I had found a platinum ring I was approached by Mike. As Mike and I talked about how long I had been detecting, some questions about the art of detecting, he then asked if I had found a platinum ring 8 or so years ago. Mike had been tossing a ball when his wedding band took to the water and hid from the group of people that participated in the search for it. The band was platinum and had a date inscribed on it. I told him I may just have his ring at home if my memory was not fooling me. I asked him to get my contact information from the back of my van in the parking lot. With the info he could contact me and after I got home I would look for the ring then contact him, one way or an other.

That day, so long ago, after Mike’s group had left the beach, I showed up to enjoy an hour or so of hobby detecting before last light. My first target that night was a platinum ring right on the water’s edge. Those still on the beach as I was leaving for the night did not know of anyone losing a ring. Nor did I know of Mike losing his ring at that time.

Fast forward 11 years (Back to today): At home the third ring I looked at had the date of 3-25-00, I had Mike’s ring. Yes, it had been 11 years ago, my records showed the platinum ring was found on August 16, 2013; boy how time passes so rapidly. His reply to my call was that he would, if it was OK with me, be on his way to my house after dinner to be reunited with his wedding band.

The entire family showed up for the reunion of the ring and its owner, pictures and a few stories. What another wonderful story ending with a bunch of smiles and happiness that made for a most memorable vacation on Cape Cod.

It was a beautiful afternoon at the Jersey Shore when Bill and Barb decided to spend the day on the beach in Surf City LBI. They were in town for a wedding and decided to soak up some rays when things went wrong. Barb had placed her wedding ring in the side pouch of their beach bag, and a little while later Bill needed a napkin for his hands. Not aware of the rings presence, he pulled out a napkin, and the ring obviously came out with it. He knew about my NJ Ring Finder service on LBI, and quickly reached out to see if I could assist in recovering the ring. Obviously I shot right down to his Surf City location ASAP, and after getting the details, within minutes their precious ring was in my scoop.

Bracelet lost at La Jolla Shores found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Namith was playing volleyball on the beach, when one of his bracelets popped loose and disappeared into the dry sand. A search ensued, but, it couldn’t be found. After asking the lifeguard service and an online search, Namith ended up at our door and my contact info. My wife and I had just finished dinner with friends at a local restaurant, so, we were ready to go work off a few calories. After heading home to get my gear, we headed over the the beach and met Namith. We discussed the details of what I needed to find and the approximate search area. I then got to work gridding the area. After a couple of junk targets, I got a steady 4 on my Equinox 900. A scoop later and I had the target out of the ground. My pin pointer zeroed in on it and I pulled the bracelet out of the clump of sand. After removing the sand stuck to it, we found that the clasp was missing. The search continued, but, I wasn’t able to find it. Namith was still very happy to get his bracelet back. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Nearly two years ago, I helped a client recover her rings at Carpinteria State Beach after they fell while she moved her chair during a camping trip. After every recovery, I wish folks well and jokingly say I hope not to see them again—at least not for lost jewelry! Fast forward to today, and that same client called me from almost the exact spot at Carpinteria State Beach. This time, her young son was the culprit. She’d set her rings on a small table to apply sunscreen, and he grabbed them to bring to her—only to drop one in the sand.
Two years back, she’d spent hours with a rented metal detector, fumbling to find her rings. Not this time—she knew to call me, Dave MacDonald, at 805-290-5009 right away. We shared a laugh about her repeat business, and I promised to be there within the hour for another lost ring recovery at Carpinteria State Beach. I arrived, gridded the area with my Minelab Manticore, and in just three minutes, her ring was back in my ckg scoop—safe and sound! She asked me to skip her photo in this blog since she’s my first repeat customer.

West Yarmouth, MA: Lost Pinky Ring Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 17, 2024

Zack was on vacation enjoying one of the many small beaches with friends. While frolicking in thigh deep water he felt his pinky ring slip off his finger. Others on the beach offered the information about TheRingFinders and another member’s phone number and called. Unfortunately, Luke was on his way off Cape Cod for the weekend and could not help except to pass my number onto Zack. A call to me and of course I was on my way to what was to be a quick return. Well, that was not to be.

Zack told me that he was very sure of he area he lost the ring at. With the information of the area and depth in the water he was when the ring fell off, I started searching parallel to the shore line with no success. Time to search perpendicular to the shore line, gridding the area. Nothing. Maybe as Zack next suggested he might have been a bit more the the right and so I opened up the search area. Again, nothing. Zack then said “No, I am very sure I was over here…again nothing. The tide was coming in and it was getting late. I called off the search for the evening and would be back the next day.

The morning came and I and detecting partner Leighton were on our way for another search. About forty minutes into the search in the original area, I found the ring. Hey, if you miss the ring by an inch, it might just as well had been a mile. I just did not pass my search coil over the ring the day before.

Zach had gone to another beach and it was not for another couple of hours and a cup of iced tea that we met up with Zack at his vacation rental for the returning of the ring. And as usual pictures, stories and many thanks with smiles all around, Leighton and I left for another beach to do some recreational detecting with no pressure to find a specific target.
