Ring lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Ethan was visiting here from out of town and lost his ring in the dry sand at Mission Beach on a Saturday afternoon. I got the call Monday afternoon along with the details. Since Ethan had already returned home, I had to work from a map and description of the search area along with a photo and metal makeup of the ring itself. With two days having gone by on a busy summer weekend, there was always the chance that someone else had already found the ring, either by eyeball or by one of the many detectorists that search that beach. Time was not on our side, but, you never know until you try. I arrived a bit later that afternoon and tried to find the spot shown on the map and a photo of a damaged wall in the area that Ethan included. Well, it turns out the photo was a stock online one and not an actual one taken by Ethan at the time. Since I couldn’t find that section of damaged seawall (repaired since the photo was taken), I talked to Ethan on the phone and between the two of us, we were able to find the exact spot. I began my grid search and after several long passes without a single signal (not a good sign), I got a nice 53 displayed on my Equinox 900. Sure enough, it was Ethan’s ring. Some happy phone calls and arrangements made for a certified package to be sent to Ethan, which arrived today. Thank you for the reward.

 

LOST – LSU GRADUATION RING – FOUND ON LSU CAMPUS

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Carrie and Sid received a call from William’s friend, Cambell. William and he were walking home after watching LSU win the first game of the College World Series finals. William was standing on a ledge on LSU campus when he slipped and fell into some shrubs. He realized his recently earned graduation ring had slipped off his finger. This was the ring his proud grandparents had given him. He and Cambell searched late that night and early the next morning without success. That’s when they found the Ringfinders site. After the call, we headed out to the location. Thick with bushes, metallic confetti and some beer cans we ended up primarily crawling and using pin pointers. Carrie found the ring within 15 minutes.  The guys were jubilant as were we.

Thank you for your generous reward!  GO TIGERS!!

White Gold Wedding/Engagement Band Set-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

Ryan contacted me several weeks ago about his wife’s white gold wedding/engagement band set she had lost in a grassy area of the apartments where they lived in Chattanooga.  Because of his busy work schedule he had a difficult time getting the search arranged.  I think he had actually purchased an off-the-shelf metal detector at a local store, but was apparently overwhelmed with the large amounts of metallic trash in the ground.  We finally managed to arrange a search on June 9th.  I arrived at the location at 7:15 PM on June 9th.  I started my search as soon as I got the story from him, because we didn’t have much daylight left.  Around 35 minutes later I found the engagement band portion totally hidden below the grass around four feet from the base of a large tree.  It took me right at an hour more to find the wedding band portion, and it was about twenty feet from where I found the other half.  It ended up being in an area outside of the original search zone.  The grass had been cut, so maybe that’s how it ended up being over there.  This portion of the ring was in full view of anyone walikg by, so it’s amazing nobody had seen it.

 

Ring lost in Ocean Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Bailey was at the beach, took his ring off, and tucked it into a shirt for safety. This is not just an ordinary ring. I is a big silver ring with an Indian cent mounted in the center, and was willed to him from his now deceased brother. Such an important family heirloom just had to be found!  With sunset approaching and the tide rising, I had to hot foot it down there immediately. I met Bailey at the beach and he showed me the relatively small search area just above the wet sand. At one point, he had moved from his original spot to a different location on the dry sand and apparently his ring escaped and fell somewhere between the two spots. The first spot was empty, so, I proceeded to the other spot, detecting along the way. My first target along the way sounded like it could be the ring, but, it was just a quarter. I continued my grid line and my next target was the object we both wanted to see. Bailey was very happy and relieved that it was recovered. A pleasure to meet you Bailey and thank you for the reward.

 

Saving the Day: Expert Metal Detection Recovers Lost Wedding Ring at Malibu West Beach Club

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

In the midst of celebration at Malibu West Beach club, a groom’s wedding ring became the victim of a sandy mishap, sparking a late-night text of distress. Amidst the post-ceremony jubilation, the ring slipped off unnoticed during beachside photoshoots, leaving the newlyweds in a desperate search on the expansive shores.

Granted access to the club the following Sunday afternoon, I embarked on a time-sensitive mission to locate the lost ring. Despite scouring the photo locations meticulously, my efforts were fruitless, yielding only bottle caps and spare change. With time slipping away, I redirected my focus towards the lifeguard tower and surrounding areas, praying for a breakthrough.

A strong signal near the lifeguard tower signaled a stroke of luck, as the elusive ring revealed itself in the sands, snugly nestled in the scoop. Though the couple was absent to celebrate the recovery, I assured them of the safe return of the precious wedding ring, promising to mail it to await their return from honeymoon bliss.

For those facing a similar predicament, swift action is key. Don’t delay; reach out to Ventura County Ringfinder at 805-290-5009 for expert assistance in reclaiming your lost ring. Time waits for no one, and with professional metal detection expertise on your side, your cherished possession can be retrieved before it’s too late.

Topsail Beach Ring Lost In Surf Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Doug and his wife Kim were spending Father’s Day with their kids at Topsail Beach, NC.  Doug was in the surf using a boogie/body board and upon arrival back to their beach setup, Doug removed the tight wrist band of the boogie board.  It was shortly after that he noticed his wedding band was missing.  After the family searched the beach, Doug called Crystal Coast Ring Finders.  I headed their way as soon as possible.  Upon arrival, the tide had subsided and after searching around the beach chairs, a search began in the wet sand and surf.  Less than 10 minutes later, Doug’s wedding band gave a very strong signal and was pulled from the beach.  It was a hot day and I think they were very happy to finally leave the beach and possibly a meal.

Thank you Doug & Kim

June, who follows the Ring Finders South Jersey Facebook page, called me when John lost his wedding band. I was a few minutes south of Ocean City, New Jersey, when she called, so I was able to meet them quickly after the call. John told me that he took off the band and placed it on his lap. He realized that he had taken it off almost immediately after he stood up, but it had already dropped in the sand. After a few swings of the metal detector in the area, the ring was recovered. John and his family were able to enjoy the rest of the day on the beach!

Wedding Band Lost After Topsail Beach Swim Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Justin and his family were spending the day at a Topsail Beach.  As they were enjoying the day and a beach swim, Justin began to dry his arms and hands on his beach towel.  He felt the ring fly off of his finger but didn’t see where it had landed.  He knew there must be some way to find a person who metal detects to come to his rescue.  Within minutes, he found The Ring Finders and called me to help him recover his ring of almost 9 years.   I told Justin I would load up and begin the 1:30 hour drive.  Upon arrival, and after a few brain fog moments of my own, I began to search the beach.  On about the 3 pass, Justin removed the sun shade that was in the path and  I hit another signal but wasn’t too sure it was Justin’s ring.   As I placed my detector down to further investigate the iffy signal, the Minelab Equinox 800 coil landed upon a strong 12 signal.  I looked up at Justin and said « I think that is your ring »  Sure enough from under the coil and out of the sand, I lifted up Justin’s wedding band.  He was thrilled because he was leaving to head back home very soon!

Lost iPhone Sunset Beach, Tarpon Springs, Fl….Found!!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please call me ASAP at (843) 995-4719. I offer a free metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

I was reading posts on a local social media page when I noticed that a person named Diana had posted that her son had lost his iPhone in the water at a local beach earlier in the day. I reached out to Diana who told me she was going to be back at the beach later that same day at low tide to do another search. I told her that I would meet her on site at 6:30pm to assist with the search which would be in knee deep rather than chest deep water at that time. When I arrived at Sunset Beach, I met Diana and several other members of her family including her son Gabriel who had lost the phone after only having it about two weeks! Diana showed me the area where they believed Gabriel may have lost his phone which included several hundred feet of beach out to about knee deep where a layer of sea grass began. I began my search down the shoreline from the starting point given to me by Diana by detecting the wet sand and very shallow water and I would move closer to the sea grass on my return sweep. I had not been searching for much longer that ten minutes when I heard several yells behind me. I turned around and saw Diana holding up Gabriel’s phone which she had found in the sea grass near my search start point! She told me that she had seen the phone in the clear water due to a reflection of sunlight. Diana gave the phone to Gabriel and he was overjoyed to see that it still worked even after soaking in the water all day. Later, Diana posted on social media that the phone had been found and gave me credit for helping with the phone search and a lot of positive publicity for what the Ring Finders do.

Diana, so happy you found Gabriel’s phone and thank you for all of your kind words!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gold Wedding Band Lost From Emerald Isle Beach House Deck Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

David informed me he was on the raised deck putting on his sandals and noticed a sound like something dropped.  A very short time afterwards, he noticed his wedding band of 5 years was missing.  David and others searched sand below the deck but were unsuccessful in their attempt.  Andy who was in the group started an online search for a nearby metal detector to rent and found The Ring Finders.  Andy called me and I headed their way.  I arrived within an hour of the call and after gathering information and explaining my Minelab CTX-3030, I headed down the sandy area next to the home.  The ground was littered with various signals and even though I had my sensitivity turned way down, I was getting numerous target signals.  I guessed the approximate area the ring would have landed and turned on my Garrett Pro-Pointer AT for a more precise search of each item.  The very first item I pulled up from sand was David’s sparkling gold wedding ring
