Chatham, MA Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned by a RingFinder

August 15, 2024

Brendan was enjoying a sunny day at the beach, his 39th year in doing so, when his wedding band slipped from his finger. After failing to find the ring he reported the loss to the gate guard who gave him my card, name and number. A text to me followed. Brendan’s was one of two requests I received within 30 minutes. I answered both with the same: first to respond will have their choice of day for me to help.

Brendan was the second one, Thursday would be the day set for the search. Detecting partner Leighton was off from work both days and we both would be helping search for the lost ring. We met Brendan on the parking lot, exchanged a few words dawned our gear, and headed to the water stopping to meet Brendan’s wife and 3 sons. Then as usual we had Brendan enter the water and stand just where he remembered loosing his ring. We started searching parallel to the beach from where Brendan was standing toward the beach and I to deeper water. About 20 feet from Brendan, Leighton dug his first signal and there was the platinum ring we were in search of.

A very joyful Brendan wanted to pull the ring from the scoop only to be told “wait”. The three of us headed to Chrissy and their 3 curious children. In the presence of everyone, Brendan retrieved the ring and put it back on his finger. Congratulations, pictures and exchange of info followed. For Leighton and myself, we were off to another beach to search for a missing engagement ring.

Any chance you are available for a search? Was one of two requests I received within 30 minutes. I answered both with the same: first to respond will have their choice of day for me to help.

The days and times are: Wednesday 11am-2pm or Thursday noon to 6pm for low tide and the ability to search in the water. Let me know if either works for you… The reply was that “Wednesday works for us! Hannah & Jamin”.

Detecting partner Leighton was off from work and we both would be helping search for the lost ring.

All four of us met up in the parking lot. Leighton and I with our detecting gear, Jamin with fishing gear and Hannah ready to supervise and perhaps take a swim. As usual we started by looking for the pile shells marking the beach were they were a few days ago. Well the tides have spread the pile so we started detecting an area suggested by Jamin. A few minutes later Hannah signals us she had found the pile of shells. OK, we moved the search over to an area 50 or so feet along the beach. After a bit of searching the width of the search area widened and to everyone’s amazement the is found closer to the original area where we started searching. Memory is a wonderful thing and it is good, but a physical marking is better. That is why we suggest dropping a few metal objects where a ring or other object is lost. With a few targets to look for we would know that we were in the correct area.

A few photos for the book of smiles, a bit of story telling as each story has it’s own lesson to be learned and then the ThankYou and now the fishing was going to start as Leighton and I left to look for another lost ring. I don’t know how the fishing endeavor ended, but I do know Jamin with a bit of luck did hook onto two metal detectorists that are always willing to help and that made the day a day to remember.

Popponesset, MA Sentimental Silver Ring Lost, Found and Returned by a RingFinder.

August 11, 2024

I can not count the times I have heard the words “I lost a ring of emotional significance yesterday.” and ”Thank you again so much Rick! It was great to meet you and so magical that you found the ring…!

Those words along with many others are why I enjoy my hobby so much.

Sarah was enjoying the art of teasing the incoming waves as they swept the slope of on of Cape Cod’s many fabulous beaches. The thrill was shortened when a ring slipped off her finger and beneath the beach’s sand.

Back at her grandfather’s home she searched the web for ways to find a lost ring. Her search was answered when she came across TheRingFinders.com article. She followed the link and contacted me. Of course I would search for the ring at the next day’s low tide.

With no other option on where to park, I parked in front of grandfather’s home. Sarah was right there as I exited the car. A short conversation was followed by a quick walk to the beach where Sarah showed me “where” the ring was lost. With that information I started my search pattern at the water’s edge working my way up the slope of the beach. Nothing! Maybe it is in the water, time to get wet. Four passes and nothing again. Enter Baron…”I’m pretty sure you should be looking over here.” That was some 20 feet away from the area I had been searching.

As I was in the water I worked my way up the beach going toward the dry sand. I was almost out of the water when my first signal proved to be a pull tab. Three swings later another, larger signal, I had to dig it. Yes, this one was the ring.

You can use your imagination on the excitement and joy that followed, not only by Sarah and Baron, but all those on the beach that had been watching me. Some had no idea what I was doing until they saw and heard the emotions shown by Sarah. That is my “reward” for enjoying my hobby, what could be better? Certainly not hitting a small white ball, chasing it so you can hit it again then watching it splash into a water hole and disappearing out of sight.

Next, of course, would be words of thanks, pictures, a few stories, and ways to wear a ring to the beach with no fear of having it slip off one’s finger.

Dropped Key In Cape Carteret Waters Keeps Kyle’s Truck Parked Until Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Kyle called me up to see if I could retrieve keys from the boat dock. He had dropped his keys close to where the boat was moored, and since he was nearby, I rushed over to help. The water was 3-4 feet deep and got deeper gradually. My magnet didn’t work, so I dived into the soft seabed and found the keys with my metal detector. Sadly, my long-handled scoop was useless against the muddy bottom littered with oyster shells and twigs. I then used my Garrett pinpointer, took a deep breath, and dove where the detector had signaled. With a clear tone, I scooped up the muck and found Kyle’s keys. He opted out of a photo op and removed the truck key from the set for a picture. The boat in the photo is where we lost and recovered the keys.

Rings lost at Breakers Beach on Coronado found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Thais, took off both of her rings and put them in a shoe before going out in the water. Good idea! Forgetting that they were in the shoe when leaving, not so good. As you might expect, the shoes were picked up by her spouse Syd and the rings ended up falling out and into the soft dry sand. What to do….leaving at 6am the next morning just 13 hours from then…..so, off to the internet for advice. TheRingFinders.com website to the rescue. I got the call from Syd about 4:30pm about a lost « ring », grabbed my gear, and hit the rush hour traffic to the North Island Navy Base visitors parking to meet her. We then drove to the beach and walked a couple hundred yards to a distraught Thais guarding the likely drop zone. A couple of short passes later, I got a nice solid 8 on my Equinox 900. Not knowing at the time that more than one ring was lost, I said that this could be the ring, or, some foil. A probe with the pin pointer, and grab with my hand brought a beautiful wedding band out into the sunshine. I thought we were done….not. a second sweep just a foot away and I got a solid 13. I then popped out the even more beautiful engagement ring to Thais’s delight. I asked if there were more and was told no, that was it. They could now sleep easier that night and catch their plane in the morning without having to leave anything behind. A pleasure to meet you both, and thank you for the reward.

This morning, I got a call from Lauren, a Chicago visitor who’d been enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family the day before. To protect her wedding ring while swimming, she’d placed it in the cupholder of a beach chair. But when the chair was moved, the ring flew into the sand. Hours of searching on hands and knees across Broad Beach—near spots like Zuma Beach and Point Dume Beach—left them empty-handed and frustrated. That’s when they turned to me, Dave MacDonald, for expert lost ring recovery in Malibu.
I met Lauren’s husband, Daniel, at the Broad Beach path entrance, and we headed to their estimated spot. Armed with my Minelab Manticore—perfect for ring recovery—I gridded the sand methodically. The beach was quiet, unlike busy Leo Carrillo State Beach or El Matador Beach, but I expanded my search toward the high tide line. Then, a strong signal pinged just inches from the water’s edge. One quick scoop, and Lauren’s wedding ring was back in hand—a swift win for lost ring recovery in Malibu!

Jersey shore ring finder ring finder south jersey On a nice hot day Anton and his family were enjoying the day on at beach. This can be some of the most sought after relaxation one could ask for after a long day at work. And while people are on the beach there are many things they will do like , swimming, running, relaxing, picnicking, throwing footballs, volley ball, wrestling, etc. OH NO did I say wrestling ? That’s when things went wrong for Anton. In one of the 3 areas he was wrestling around that day his cherished cross was pulled from his necklace and lost in the sand.  They searched for a few hours, even with their metal detector, without any luck. That’s when Nicole decided to give me a call to see if I was available to locate the cross. I met them on the beach a little while later and they showed me everything that transpired up to realizing the cross was missing. I started in the most likely spot and within a few moments I had his cross in my scoop. Another fantastic ending to a great day on the Jersey Shore.

Yarmouth, MA Wedding Band Lost and Found. 2 Years Later It Is Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 21, 2024

Well this return is my first of its kind a One in a Million chance, DONE!

Some two years ago Andrew was vacationing at one of my home town’s resorts. He was having a wonderful time playing ball, swimming, sunning and enjoying Vacation Land. All was a perfect vacation until his wedding band slipped from his finger. And as I told hundreds of vacationers that have asked for my detecting expertise help, what ever is lost is almost always still there. But you may not know just where that spot is. You will know where the spot is that you realize that you have lost the object. And the sooner I can start searching the better my chances are of finding it.

Fortunately my may success stories are gaining popularity and word is spreading along the shores of Cape Cod as is TheRindFinders.com web site. At one point this summer Andrew and his wife read some the postings and contacted me with a far out question about Andrew’s lost wedding band. It was lost at a South Yarmouth resort on June 21st/22nd 2021, any possibility you could look for it?

Knowing the area is well detected over by both vacationers and locals including myself, I knew it would be a fruitless endeavor to search for it. Also I could look at my records and ask other detectorists if they might have Andrew’s ring. My records showed that I had found such a ring after the time that Andrew had lost his ring. Now, how to verify that it was his ring. Pictures were sent back and forth and one with no inscription inside “Looked like that is the ONE! OK, I’ll send it to you, if it is yours it will be amazing. If not you can send it back.

On June 28th the ring was in the mail. One problem on my side is that the credit card machines at the post office were down, Cash Only. My luck I did not have cash enough to pay for the tracking option. I have send many rings through the mail with no problem…so away it went. Several texts back and forth about it not being received, we had almost given up hope – it must be lost in the mail. Then on July 20 a text I received read: “Envelope just showed up! It’s his ring!!! I can’t believe it!” Neither could I. All I can say is “It was meant to be”

How to find a lost cross with Metal Detector, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

What would 4 young men do after their Stockton State College track meet, that’s right, go to the beach to have some fun and cool down in the pristine Jersey Shore Ocean waters. Just prior to going into the water, Brendan removed his cherished cross and chain, and clasped it around the loop on his hat for safe keeping. After they got out of the water, it was placed back around his neck, and just a few moments later, his friend noticed the cross was missing. Luckily his friend Jackson had told his mom Brenda, who was very familiar with NJ Ring Finder stories, from some of the local pages. Brendan, Jackson, and Luke had searched for quite a while without any luck, and that’s when the call came in to me for HELP. I arrived on the Lavallette beach just a short while later, got all the details and searched the entire spot without any luck. After they assured me it must be right there, I turned my metal detectors sensitivity almost as high as it would go, and on the first pass I received a very faint but steady signal, which was in fact, Brendan’s beautiful cross. Another happy ending to a fantastic beach day.

Wedding Ring Set And Gold Necklace Lost During Beach Gathering Found!!!

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

EMERALD ISLE, NORTH CAROLINA,

Amanda was attending a get together of about 30 friends and family one evening at a Emerald Isle beach access.  Her initial message stated she placed her rings on her necklace to wash her hands off in the surf.  She also went the the bath house and wasn’t sure where it actually was lost.  I woke up early the next morning to her text message and knew I needed to get out there quickly.  I sent her a message that I was going to search as soon as possible.  She told me later, she didn’t sleep all night.  I started a grid search of the area her and her friends were the night before with no luck.  After her arrival, I expanded the area still not finding anything of value.  Amanda went back to the steps to sit with her mother-in-law (out of sight of me).  I began another grid to the water and back up the sloped soft sand and received a very loud target hit signal.  One scoop had her ring above the surface.  I sent her a picture of it and she replied « COMING!!! ».  After a brief discussion, I told her I would now try to find her necklace.  She was walking away from me when I had another target about five feet lower.  I called her back and one more scoop showed her necklace in the mound of wet sand.
