Lost Wedding Ring… Found!! Jersey City, NJ

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
🔍 Lost in Translation but Found with Precision: A Wedding Ring Recovery Story 💍
We recently had one of those unforgettable metal detecting adventures that prove the power of determination and a bit of luck!
A man accidentally dropped his wedding ring out of a window, and it vanished into the grass below. To make things even more interesting, he spoke only Ukrainian, while our metal detectorist only spoke English. 🌐
Despite the language barrier, we were united by one clear goal: finding that precious ring. With a few pictures of where the ring might be, hand gestures, smiles, and nods, we set to work. The detector beeped, and after a bit of digging through the grass, there it was—the lost wedding ring, safely in hand once more! 🎉
This experience reminded us that sometimes, no words are needed when it comes to helping people. A shared mission, a bit of patience, and a lot of focus can overcome any obstacle. Whether it’s language differences or the challenge of finding a tiny ring in a big yard, we’re always up for the adventure! 🌟
If you’ve lost something important, don’t let anything stop you from getting it back. We’re here to help, no translation needed!

Lost Wedding Band returned to Owner who is in Hospice

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

    Today we drove 3 hours to find a gentleman’s Wedding Ring he lost gardening 6-8 months ago.  Today unfortunately his health has driven him into a Hospice situation.  His wife and adult children really wanted to have the ring found before he passes.   When his wife answered the door she broke down crying, « just knowing we were there to search for the ring »,  it was literally 100 degrees.  We began our search through the sticky blueberry bushes and all over the 3 acres.  The wife came out to speak with us, as Ellen was speaking to her, I continued to search.  And praise God not 10 feet from where she was standing I got a Gold Signal.  I reached down and got a really big smile on my face knowing  I had just found the ring.  The lady nearly jumped into my arms when we showed what we had found.  We so love what we get to do.

Necklace lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Aaron was body surfing when a wave blew over his head and ruthlessly stripped him of his gold necklace. Aaron realized it immediately and tried to recover it, but, at the same time, the lifeguards were telling everyone to leave the water due to a large rip current. Reluctantly, Aaron left the water and contemplated what to do to get it back. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. When he called, I got the situation and made a plan to conduct a search early the next morning to take advantage of the -1.1 low tide. My buddy Cris and I met Aaron at the site at 3:45am and divided up the search area after Aaron got us a starting point. I started gridding east/west working my way south. while Cris did a north/south grid. After some time passed without much in the way of targets, I went back to my starting point and started going north. After a few passes and at the west end of one pass in as deep a surf as I dared, I got a nice solid 12 on my Equinox 900. Two scoops later and I had the target. I grabbed the lump still buried in the sand of my scoop and headed out of the surf to see what it was. It felt good, but, without my headlamp turned on at the time, I wanted to get out of the water and take a look before I let go of it. I walked out toward Cris who had his headlamp on and revealed what I had found. Sure enough, it was a gold looking chain. A quick flush in the water to remove the sand and we had Aaron’s beautiful gold necklace in hand. Needless to say, Aaron was a very happy man and thanked us profusely. A pleasure to meet you Aaron and thank you for the generous reward.

Necklace and Engagement Ring Lost, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was another fantastic day in New Jersey so Denise and her family decided to pack up and head to the beach. Denise’s nephew loves the beach, especially flying kites when the wind is just right. Prior to flying the kite, she removed her necklace and engagement ring. Denise slipped the necklace through her ring and secured the clasp, then placed them both in her top pocket for safe keeping. They both had ran all over the soft white sand, almost covering the entire block, well about 2/3 of it anyhow. It was later on when she looked in the pocket and , OH NO, both were missing. Everyone searched the area for quite some time when they decided a metal detector was needed. They headed down to the local store and purchased one, figuring the necklace would soon be located. Well, unfortunately that did not work, so they decided to call in a professional. Once I arrived and got all the details, I covered the entire area where they were flying the kite, figuring that was the most  likely area they would have fallen out of her top pocket. With nothing to show for my effort, we decided the next most traveled area was the top of the tide line, and down a bit to the low tide mark. After a few passes, I asked them to move back a little, and sure enough, very close to the chairs, was the spot my metal detector sniffed out the ring and necklace. Everyone was totally amazed, and the best I can figure, either the necklace never made it into her top pocket, or coincidently it fell out right in the area they had set up the chairs and stuff. Regardless another happy ending !!!!

Ring lost at Solana Beach found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Sara had tied her ring to some straps on her beach bag before going into the water. When she returned, she grabbed her bag and headed for the stairs up to her house. Upon arriving up to the top of the cliff, she discovered the ring was no longer tied to her bag. She retraced her steps, but, the ring was nowhere to be seen. Sara contacted me asking for help, so, I grabbed my gear, my wife, and headed for the location. Sara escorted us through the condo complex and down the steep cliff steps to the beach, and then across a couple hundred feet of sand to where she had first set her bag. I usually like to start at ground zero in my book, and work my way away from there as necessary. Even though we could still see her footprints and the exact path she took, it might still take a while to cover all that ground depending on where the ring slipped off. I didn’t want to even think about having to hunt the steep cliff and under it’s stairs. As it turned out, it took maybe 12 seconds! First pass, maybe 6 feet, and my first target was Sara’s ring. Way to go getting me on the X Sara! A happy Sara couldn’t believe how quickly it was found. She then escorted us back up the cliff steps and gave us a thankful farewell. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the generous reward.

Ring lost at La Jolla found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Nina was participating in a beach game at Marine St. when her engagement ring came off and disappeared into the dry sand. Everyone took a look for it, but, it eluded all efforts to be found. Nina found TheRingFinders.com and contacted me for help. I arrived shortly after and actually found a parking spot. Nina met me there and directed us to the search area. Withing a couple of minutes, a pull tab and a quarter later, I got a nice solid 18 on my Equinox 900. A gentle probe with my pin pointer and I had located what was giving me that nice sound. Her ring was soon up with the living and back on her finger. A pleasure to meet you Nina and thank you for the reward.

Recovering a Precious Family Heirloom on a Rainy Day

  • from Erie (Pennsylvania, United States)

I received a call from Donna, who was understandably distressed after an afternoon of backyard fun turned into a moment of loss. Her grandson had been playing badminton in the backyard, and when the game ended, he realized that his ring was missing. This wasn’t just any ring; it was a cherished family heirloom, passed down to him from his father, making it irreplaceable and deeply sentimental.

Knowing how much this ring meant to Donna and her family, I didn’t hesitate to offer my help. The day was rainy, which added another layer of difficulty to the search, but I was determined to recover this important piece of family history.

Upon arriving at Donna’s home, I quickly assessed the backyard. Despite the rain and wet conditions, I began methodically searching the area. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before my detector signaled a hit. Just 25 minutes into the search, I spotted the ring, partially hidden in the damp grass.

The relief and joy on Donna’s face when I handed her the ring made the rainy day search more than worth it. Moments like these remind me of the importance of what I do—recovering not just objects, but the memories and connections they represent.

Thank you, Donna, for trusting me with this precious find. It was an honor to help bring back something so meaningful to your family. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help reunite you with those special items that carry so much history and love.
