Sugar Pine Point State Park, Lake Tahoe, California: Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found and Returned to the Owner by Metal Detector Specialist — Trevor Oxborrow.
Jack was working at the Lake Tahoe Triathlon five days ago and remembers talking off his work gloves several times throughout the day—but didn’t recognize the exact moment his wedding ring came off his finger. Later in the day, and not knowing for sure if the ring came off at Sugar Pine Point State Park, he double checked his gloves and thoroughly searched his car.
With very special words engraved on the inside of his ring and having worn this ring for decades, he knew he had to find it.
Being from Reno, Jack initially contacted Ring Finder—Michael Dewey, who happened to be out of town, so Michael forwarded Jack’s contact info to me.
I called Jack and arranged to meet him at Sugar Pine Point State Park at 10am. I arrived at 9:45am and few minutes later got a call from Jack who explained he was delayed by thirty minutes. He described, over the phone, one of the possible search locations and encouraged me to begin. I searched the area for twenty five minutes with only one target—a 1982 penny. My second solid target turned out to be Jack’s Special Lost Platinum Wedding Ring.
I immediately called Jack, who had been delayed again, and he couldn’t believe I had already found his ring.
We arranged to meet in Tahoe City.
I could tell that Jack was so relieved and happy to have his Special Ring back on his finger.

18k Gold Tiffany & Co. Ring Found & Returned to Owner

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

Bita contacted me early this morning requesting a recovery search for her special ring which was lost in the sand at Kings Beach the day before. Special….because her mom had given it to her years ago.
Knowing that Kings Beach gets hit daily by Treasure Hunting Metal Detectorists, I loaded my equipment and headed straight there. An hour later, Bita was guiding me to the ring loss location which she and others had spent a considerable amount of time searching the day before. After only a couple of minutes, I got the signal I was anticipating. Reaching down I scooped up a handful of sand and began slowly sifting it between my fingers. “Found it” — and needless to say, Bita was very, very happy to have her ring back.

Lost Gold Chain and Gold Coin Pendant Found at Lake Tahoe

Gold Chain with Gold Coin Pendant Recovered and Returned to Owner!
When I’m out metal detecting, the number one question I get is “What is the most valuable thing you’ve found?”, well as of this morning I have a clear answer.
Three days ago I noticed a Facebook post about a gold chain lost on July 4th at Pope Beach, Lake Tahoe. Lesson to everyone out there, if you lose something valuable and metal DON’T post the location you lost it at—the Sand Pirates will find it and keep it!
I contacted the person who lost the chain and I offered to help find it. After a series of exchanges we coordinated a meeting at the gold chain loss location—8:30am this morning at Pope Beach. Thank goodness he chose to meet me, only with his onsite precise identification of where he went swimming, allowed this recovery to happen.
It took two hours of searching underwater with my XP Deus 2 metal detector and Blu3 Nemo dive system to find this gold chain and gold coin pendant.
Needless to say, the owner was happy!

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered at Glenbrook, Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

July 4, 2026: A text was sent at 10:35AM about a platinum wedding ring lost in the beach sand at Glenbrook. At 10:35AM I was underwater, at Kings Beach, searching for another ring. I didn’t read the text until 12:06PM when I got back to my truck. I advised the client I could be at the search location in 45 minutes. With July 4th traffic, I didn’t arrived until shortly after 1PM. The client showed me the ring loss location—a small patio sized beach. The stone and concrete retaining wall was causing some interference for my XP Deus 2 metal detector. After two passes I got a solid repeatable signal. At 1:14PM, I used my pinpointer and hand to reveal the lost platinum wedding ring. Ring recovered in less than three hours from being notified by the client’s first text.

Lost Gold Ring Found Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

June 25, 2026: Lost Gold Ring Recovered at Nevada Beach, Lake Tahoe. Got a call at 5:18pm about a lost gold ring at the north end of Nevada Beach, Lake Tahoe, near the kayak rentals. I arrived at 6:27pm to begin searching. Fortunately the client was able to meet me at Nevada Beach and we began retracing her steps from the parking lot to their beach hangout area under a tree just south of the kayak rentals. The client explained that this ring was very special being given by her mother. Not detecting any serious targets at the parking lot, along the boardwalk, and along the beach path towards the large pine tree, I felt more confident that the ring would likely be at their hangout area. Within three swings of my XP deus 2 metal detector, I got a solid 82 VDI. Reaching down, I scooped a handful of sand revealing a shiny beautiful gold ring.
