Lost Grandfather’s Ring -FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Last weekend, I got a text late in the evening from Samuel’s Mom asking about whether or not I could help her son.  He was out in the water at that very second searching frantically for his Grandfather’s ring that he had accidentally slung into the Gulf while skipping sand dollar pieces with his friends.  I realized that this was an important one so I gave her a call and she patched in Samuel so I could ask him some questions.  I went over some info and asked him some questions about water depth and how the ring had come off.  Most importantly, I had him drop a Google Maps pin where he was on the beach and then where he thought it might have landed.  I told him that I would reach out the next day when I got to the beach.  We got our signals a bit crossed and when I called, he was still about 45 mins away.  I told him that with his permission, I would go ahead and start searching.  I thoroughly did the area where I thought it might be and even found another ring.  Unfortunately, I knew that it wasn’t Samuel’s so I prepared to keep looking.  About that time, one of Samuel’s friends walked up and said that she thought it was a bit farther west.  I promptly relocated and began doing my grid search there.  I spent a lot of time in that area and found all kind of things that were not what I was looking for.  I spoke to Samuel’s friend again and she mentioned a sign that was a little back towards where I had been earlier.  Samuel had also mentioned the sign.  I decided to go out deeper and make that my center point.  I started heading towards the beach and about the time I did, I saw what had to be Samuel jogging across the dune trail heading my way.  Samuel’s friend told him that we hadn’t found it as he waded out.  As he was walking out to me I got another good tone.  I scooped it up and looked inside the scoop and told him that maybe he was good luck and held it out to him.  He looked in the scoop and couldn’t see because of all the shells. He said, “is there something in here?”  I told him to take another look and watched as he saw it. I love watching people go from concerned to absolutely thrilled in a split second. 😃. Congratulations Samuel!  I’m so honored that you and your Mom trusted me to go find your Grandfather’s ring for you. 👍

Lost Wedding Ring Caladesi Island, Dunedin, Fl….Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Steve Thomas

Dunedin Ring Finder

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or 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!

Jessica and her husband Javier were enjoying the day riding jet skis around Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands. They beached on the north end of Caladesi and while Javier was opening a compartment at the rear of his jet ski his beautiful 14k hammered gold wedding band slipped off of his finger into the Gulf of Mexico.

Jessica found me through a Google search and texted me the story including a photo of the ring and a general map of the loss area. Fortunately the ring was lost in only waist deep water an hour or two before low tide so I wanted to plan a search for the same tide time the next day. Initially, Jessica and Javier weren’t sure if they could return the next day but it was important that they be there to narrow down the search area so they were able to work it out.

To get to the loss location, I had to ride twenty minutes on a ferry from Honeymoon to Caladesi, walk about ten minutes from the ferry to the beach, and then walk about 1 1/2 miles to the north end of the island with my equipment. Jessica and Javier had arrived on a jet ski before I arrived but left to pick up an anchor at a nearby marina. They texted me to let me know to look for a green tracker boat and a green jet ski as markers for where the ring was lost if I wanted to begin the search before their return so I began my search in the water. After only about fifteen minutes of searching with my Nox 600 detector, I came across a strong signal with a 21 on the VDI. After several scoops into the mud I was able to bring up Javier’s ring! Jessica and Javier arrived about ten minutes later and I walked up to Javier and asked him if he was ready to begin the search. Before he could answer, I held up his ring and said “is this what I’m looking for?” I thought he was going to fall off the jet ski! Jessica said to him “ I told you we ought to try this before you bought a new one!” After talking for a few minutes and taking a few photos with Javier texting family and friends about the ring find, Jessica and Javier sped happily away.

Jessica and Javier, thank you for trusting me to find and return Javier’s wedding ring and thank you for the generous reward!

Surf City, NC: Lost Wedding Ring Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

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

Justin was spending time in the ocean along the Surf City beach and told me he noticed something in the sand.  The waves were rough that day and as he tried to grab the item, he felt his wedding ring slide off to be lost in the surf.  I attempted a recovery that same day against the rising tide and stronger waves but it wasn’t safe and my attempts were not productive.  I told Justin, I’d return the next day and try again.

The waves were rough and the wind was strong but not as bad as the previous day.  I completed many passes both in and out of the water with my CTX-3030 with only shreds of aluminum and 1 can pull-tab for my efforts.  I then started to go over the areas I missed in the water using my GPS map and in ankle deep water at low tide I received a faint signal.  After about 4 scoops into the surf, the signal was gone and I still didn’t know what I had removed.  I dumped the pile of sand and shells on the beach and used a pinpointed to find Justin’s ring hiding under the pile.  This beach was recently replenished with sand from a quarry and heavier items sink quickly in the surf.  I think after another high tide, I would not have been able to find his deeply buried ring.

LOST GOLD RING IN CARY, NC………… FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
Met a guy that came to my house to inspect our Crawlspace and we got to talking about metal detecting after he saw my office.
He said an elderly lady had lost a ring in her yard while doing yard work (2 years prior) and wanted to reach out to her to see if she’d allow me to come and try and find it.
Well today was the day. I got off work and shot straight to her house and met Brian there too.
I walked back to the back yard with them, and it was very overgrown with ivy. She had a small area cleaned out and that was the area she had lost the ring.
I go to get my machine, turn it on and walk back to the area. I swing 4 swings LEFT RIGHT LEFT, RIGHT!!! Wait what was that to my RIGHT? VDI 64 first single BOOM found her ring! It wasn’t that deep at all!
She was beyond overjoyed and crying after I found it!

Gold/Ruby pendant lost in the sand, Bradley Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Samit called about a beautiful pendant his daughter had lost, just minutes before, when when she noticed her chain had broken. He was very concerned, there were storms all around, the tide was rising, and they were getting ready to head home after a nice day at the beach. I was at a family party, but arranged to meet him in 45 minutes. Once I arrived he showed me the exact area she was in when she noticed her broken chain, and missing pendant. I searched that area pretty quickly with no luck. Samit then showed me the small area in the water where it could have possibly fallen, and I started in the deepest area, working small tight sweeps. About 5 paths up the hill I got a real nice faint signal, and it sounded pretty promising. I dug one DEEP hole hoping to have it in the first scoop. Sure enough, I dumped it out, kicked away some sand, and the bright red ruby was poking out. The entire family was shocked I was able to find it. Luckily it stayed very close to the spot it fell. Another happy ending.

Lost Cross and Locket in the sand, Lavallette NJ, recovered by, Edward Trapper, NJ Ring finder

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

Paul called about a very sentimental cross and pendant that was lost on the beach the night before. He explained that this was the first thing his son had given to his girlfriend, and it would be fantastic if I would be able to find it for them. They lost it the night before after taking it off and placing it on the blanket. I was up there the next morning, made one path along the high tide line where the blanket was laying, and sure enough, I had it in my scoop. I sent some pics to Paul, but he was busy and didn’t see them till later. He was absolutely amazed I was able to find them, and said his son isn’t going to believe it, they figured it was gone into the ocean forever. I made arrangements to meet him a few days later. Paul and his wife are going to figure out a way to totally surprise them, I believe next weekend.

Lost Earring in Maple Shade Found by Dave Milsted

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

 

They used to call me MacGyver, and I earned that title today.
I received a text message late yesterday asking if I could search for a lost earring. The only problem is it was in a car. I told them that a metal detector would be useless in a car. It would be a visual search. They were okay with that, and we scheduled a visit for late afternoon today.
I arrived, and he showed me the car. He turned the car on for our search because the temperature was over 90 degrees. I brought my snake video camera unit. An excellent tool for searches in tight areas. They are 100% positive that it is in the car. His wife was a front-seat passenger and had her earring on her lap. They hit a bump, and it fell between the seat and the center console.
I started searching in the typical places it would have gone. No luck. There are 2 openings in the carpet under the seat. The 1st hole was not hiding a secret. After about an hour, I started to search the 2nd hole, which was some kind of vent. I searched in there, and there it was. Not easy to get as it was around a bend. This was not going to be easy to remove.
I tried a very long skinny 10-inch screwdriver. It wasn’t long enough. A portable vacuum wouldn’t work, either. Putting on my MacGyver hat. I have a couple of marking flags with 24-inch bendable, narrow stems. I took needle nose pliers and bent the end into a hook. While watching on the camera, I fished the hook to the earring. I was able to snag it after a few attempts. I slowly pulled it to the opening, and it fell down under the vent. More searching with the camera and we saw it again. This time I was able to get my fingers on it and remove it from under the seat.
They were so happy to get it back. This one was a challenge, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love my hobby!!

Ring lost in Coronado found

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

Maria was at a Coronado park enjoying the day, then decided to go to the beach next door. She took off her ring and stashed it in a pocket. In gathering up her gear, the ring must have fallen out somewhere in the grass. She didn’t discover it was missing until she got home. A return and visual scan of the area didn’t result in finding the ring. An online search the next day brought Maria to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. Since Maria was at work when she called me, and couldn’t meet me to show me the search area, I had to use a photo and directions as to where she had been in the park. When I arrived, there were dozens of kids playing soccer in that area. I fired up the Equinox 900 and hit the fringes of the search area and worked into the main area as I was able. Lots of targets in this park, but, after a few passes, I heard that nice low tone and 20 I.D. number I expected. I looked down and there in plain sight was her ring. A pleasure to meet you Maria and thank you for the reward.

Lost a ring?

CALL OR TEXT NOW!

Patrick lost his iPhone on the beach the night before in Avalon, NJ. He and his friends went swimming and Patrick placed his phone down somewhere in the sand. When he returned from the ocean, he could not find the phone. He called his mom who was at a party in Chester County and someone mentioned to give me a call. I spoke to her and met Patrick and his friends on the beach shortly after.

Some of his friends thought it was just like the show Outer Banks. We were going to look for the Royal Merchant gold treasure. The boys sat and watched for about 45 minutes while I scanned the beach with the metal detector. The iPhone was found after a great signal! The treasure was returned.
