2 Rings Lost in the Wet Sand – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

I love starting the day out right!  Jenny has been in town from Minnesota visiting a friend and they went to watch the Blue Angels practice a few days ago. Unfortunately, Jenny took off her wedding ring and a Memorial ring she had made and put them where she thought they were safe. It was only after she got back to her friend’s house that evening that she realized they were gone and reached out to me. I got the info from where all they had been and agreed to go in the morning so I would have plenty of light. I ended up finding them about 4 feet apart very deep in the sand because the wind had blown the water in over them on the beach when the tide came in after they left. I was actually impressed again how deep my equipment can find a ring when set right. Jenny and her friend were both thrilled when I drove over and met them to return the rings. Thanks for trusting me Jenny and congrats on getting your rings back.

Diamond Earring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wayne, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Chris found me in The Ring Finders directory and dropped me a text. Apparently his wife, Molly, lost a very sentimental earring following breakfast at a local restaurant in Wayne, PA. Prior to meeting them at the restaurant later that day, Chris conveyed to me the following details. Molly had been eating breakfast with some friends and while at the table she felt her earring fall off…she picked it up and thought she put it securely back in her ear…but when she got to her car a few minutes later it was not there. They spent several hours searching for it in the parking lot. On the phone I told them that if it fell off in the gravel parking lot it was just as likely they would find it with their eyes vs with a metal detector because it would be right on the surface. They still wanted me to come search. I met them at the restaurant and prior to getting my detector out of car we walked the parking lot as Molly described how she thought the loss occurred. I then went to get my machine out of the car so I could scan the one earing she still had and then begin the search. Well…while walking back to them after grabbing my detector I was hyper focused on scanning the ground…like most of us Ring Finders do…and sure as heck…there was her beautiful earring!!! No metal detector necessary!!! I walked up to Molly and asked her to stick her hand out…confused…she did so…and I dropped her lost earring in her hand. Her and her husband were so full of surprise and joy that the lost earring was back in their possession!!!

Pendant lost at La Jolla Shores found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Adam was playing ball at La Jolla Shores beach when he discovered that his necklace had broken and a treasured pendant was missing. He and his friends searched for it without success. A referral got him to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. When I received the call, I was out detecting with a buddy. We were about done anyway, so, we jumped into his car and headed to his house so I could jump into my truck and head out to the beach. When I got there I lucked into a parking spot and contacted Adam. Once on the site, I got the story and found the search area was relatively small. Less than 5 minutes later without a signal so far, I got a steady tone on my Equinox 900 and judging by it and the number readout that this was the probable target. Pin pointer poked into the sand located the object and sure enough, a beautiful pendant came to light. A happy Adam can now relax and enjoy the rest of the day and evening. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

How to find a necklace with metal detector, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Christina called, asking if I could help find her father-in-law Jerry’s necklace, which he had lost on the beach the day before. I asked if they were still at the beach, and when she said yes, I told them to set up an area so no one could sit where the necklace was possibly lost. They marked off a 50×50 foot area, and when I arrived, we went over the details of the previous day. Jerry was certain we were in the right spot, so I began the search.

I combed one section, then another, but had no luck. We reviewed the situation again, using the lifeguard stand as a reference to pinpoint where Jerry had been sitting. He was still sure the necklace was there, but I hadn’t picked up any signals. I expanded the search, moving closer to the lifeguard stand and down toward the high tide line—still no luck. There were a few people sitting farther down the beach, so I worked around them and searched from another angle, but I still couldn’t find anything.

Most of the family headed back to the house as it got close to dinner time, but I wasn’t ready to give up. Jerry mentioned that the necklace had been placed in the cup holder of his chair, and I knew from experience that necklaces often fall out when chairs are folded up. I made a few passes in the path they likely took back to the house, but again, no luck. Christina, Jerry, and the rest of the group were convinced the necklace had to be there, but after searching the entire area, I came up empty-handed. We considered the possibility that someone might have found it or that the beach rake had picked it up, though neither seemed very likely.

Determined, I returned the next day to give it another shot. I started right where we left off, making slow and careful swings with my metal detector in the area Jerry believed the necklace had fallen. After about 15 minutes, I got a faint signal, a low tone that I hoped was the necklace. Sure enough, there it was in my scoop—Jerry’s cross and necklace, which had eluded us the day before. This was yet another example of persistence paying off. Never give up!

Jerry respectfully requested to not have his picture taken.

Lost ring found Greenville SC

  • from Clemson (South Carolina, United States)

Lost ring found with metal detector. Dwight Childress (864)535-4347. Got the call late one day about a guy throwing scraps over his fence into the woods behind his house. He felt his ring come off and he heard a « Thunk ». I came over and began sweeping the area, left, right, up, down. Unsuccessfully completing the first grid search and reevaluating his recollection of the story, I decided to expand my outer grid a little more and BAM! Shining like a star hidden in the grass was his ring. It was a great feeling. He had his whole family out and his kids. I let his little boy use one of my detectors and may have started him down a path of the next Ring Finder.

Keys Lost and Found on Sandy Pond Trail Cape Cod, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

April 4, 2025

A dog walk around Sandy Pond, as part of Crynne’s daily routine, lead to a stressful afternoon when she returned to her car and could not find her keys. A few trips around the pond in hope of finding the keys proved they were hiding from sight. She thought a metal detector would surely help in finding them.

Eleanor at J&E Enterprises was very helpful, as always. Her recommendation was to call Rick, a member of TheRingFinders. On the call I heard the information I needed and was on my way. My first suggestion was that my search, with Crynne leading the way, be done in the opposite direction from the way Crynne always walked around the pond. This would give us a different point of view.

Mainly because Crynne’s hobby was to remove the trash she saw during her walks, the path was nice and free of trash. Of course some of the removed trash had been just off the beaten path, those areas had to be searched with my metal detector. About ¾ the way around the keys were found. They had been in an area that Crynne had walked over a few times, but from the reverse direction. They were just out of sight when coming from the opposite direction. The keys really did not need a metal detector to be found. Sometimes just a different point of view is all that is needed in ending a stressful situation.

LOST GOLD 750 CARTIER RING in RALEIGH, NC…… FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Barley got home and a young lady texted me saying she had lost her gold 750 Cartier ring in Raleigh while playing in an outdoor beach volleyball tournament.

She said she lost it while making a play on the ball. She felt it slide off. She said she went back today with a metaldetecter and couldn’t find it.

She asked when I could come and find it for her. So, of course I said, “Give me 10 mins and I’ll be on the road!”

When I arrived there were a group of people playing volleyball so I had to wait. As soon as they were done, my first signal in the corner of the playing area was her ring.

Today was 2-2 gold ring kind of day!!!

LOST 18K DIAMOND RING in NEW LONDON, NC……FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call the other day from a gentleman whose wife had lost an 18k gold ring about two years ago. He asked if I could come and try to find it. I was currently working that day, but I said I would come first thing Sunday when I was off. I get to the house meet his wife and she begins to show me where she was at and what she was doing the day she lost her ring. I began to search, I was hearing many signals, but I got a good signal under a holly bush tree move back the dirt and I could see a gold circle. I stood up, looked over at her and said I think I just found your ring. The smile and the excitement on her face said it all. She was beside herself with joy. She couldn’t believe that after two years, she was reunited with a ring that she’s so cherished.

After finding the ring, we stood in the driveway talking about the ring. They shared with me that it was a custom ring made in New York. The jewelry company name was seven fingers. Because the jeweler only had seven fingers.

I love putting smiles back on peoples faces!!

Wedding Ring lost on the Beach, Sea Bright NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was a perfect beach day, so John and Pat decided to make the most of it. They packed up their beach gear and headed out early to soak up some rays. John was enjoying the waves when he realized his wedding ring was missing. He looked for quite some time, without any luck, and thats when his wife Pat, decided to make a call to me NJ Ring Finder. With the ring being lost in the waves, it was imperative I head right out, but there were some violent storms surrounding the entire Jersey Shore area. I will do many crazy things to recover items, but will never go to the beach with any lightning in the area. I waited for the storm to pass by and headed out to the spot. I started around mid tide and worked up higher without any luck. As I was looking around I noticed there was another person very close with a metal detector that possibly could have found this ring. By then John had arrived and confirmed I was in the right spot. I showed him the other person, and suggested he scoot over and ask him if he happened to find a ring. I continued searching and just a few seconds later my machine sounded off that sweet low tone of GOLD. Sure enough, Johns ring was in my scoop, so I whistled to get his attention before he had gotten over to the other metal detector person. John was amazed I was able to find his ring, and quickly messaged his wife Pat to tell her the good news. Another fantastic recovery for NJ Ring Finder in 2024 !!!!
