Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found in Sorrento, Louisiana — A Family Heirloom Returned

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

On Sunday evening, I received a message from Jason in Sorrento, Louisiana. He had lost his 14-karat gold wedding band while working on his boat earlier that day, and he had spent most of the day trying to find it.

This ring carried much more than monetary value. It had belonged to his great-uncle, a Marine who served in World War II and the Korean War. Jason wore it as his wedding ring, making it both a symbol of his marriage and a treasured connection to his family.

During the boat maintenance, a grease gun had malfunctioned. Jason suspected the missing ring was covered in grease, making it even harder to spot in the grass. He searched for hours, bought a metal detector, and even waited until dark to try looking with a bright light. Nothing had worked.

Unsure what else to do, he turned to ChatGPT and asked whether anyone helped people find lost rings. That search led him to me through The Ring Finders.

After confirming the ring had been lost on land, I arranged to come to Sorrento the following morning. On Monday, I made the trip out and searched the area. I was able to locate the missing gold band and return it to the family within about 20 minutes

Recoveries like this are why I enjoy doing this work. A ring can hold generations of memories, and helping return that connection to someone is incredibly rewarding. I’m glad Jason reached out and that his great-uncle’s ring is back where it belongs.

Lost a ring in Sorrento, Gonzales, Ascension Parish, or elsewhere in Southeast Louisiana?

My name is Anthony Cuccia, and I help recover lost rings and jewelry through The Ring Finders. If you’ve lost something in grass, a yard, or another outdoor area, send me a text with the location and a description of what happened.

I work on a “pay what you feel it’s worth” basis, with no fixed search fee or fuel surcharge. Text is the best way to reach me and helps me understand your situation.

Even if you’ve already searched or tried a metal detector yourself, there may still be a chance to recover it.

Lost Tantalum Wedding Ring Found in Metairie, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from a man in Metairie, Louisiana who had lost his tantalum wedding band while playing fetch with his dog in the backyard. He’d searched everywhere in the vicinity and even tried using a cheap metal detector he had at home, but with no luck. I headed over after work, took a quick look at the yard, and within about five minutes my Nokta Makro Simplex Ultra locked onto a clean target. The ring was hiding just under the grass about 20 feet in front of the spot he thought it had fallen off. Another successful recovery and a very relieved owner! Always glad to bring these sentimental items back to the owner.

Wedding ring found after front yard search in Holden, Louisiana

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Taylor contacted me back in December asking if I could assist in finding her wedding ring that was lost in her front yard after a night with hanging out by the bonfire with friends and family. I was able to make it out to Holden a few weeks later, however, once I finally arrived at her house, the rain began pouring down and the cold weather didn’t make the situation any better. After searching for about 30 minutes, I decided it would be best to return another day when the conditions were better. Almost two months later I finally was able to return. This time the weather was perfect. I used orange marking flags to meticulously mark every couple foot that I searched so that I don’t keep searching the same area. After clearing the entire front yard, I worked my way across the driveway to the side. Within 5 feet I saw her massive rose gold wedding ring still sitting on top the soil. I was thrilled that through perseverance, we were able to reunite Taylor with her lost wedding ring.

I was contacted Sunday afternoon by a young lady in New Orleans, Louisiana who says she lost her silver ring after sliding down a slip n slide that she set up in her backyard. Having a relatively unscheduled Sunday, I made my way down to New Orleans. Within 5 minutes, we were able to recover the ring under some blades of grass. Her face lit up with excitement because they had searched the area for hours the previous day with no luck. I used a Nokta Makro Simplex+ and a Garrett Propointer AT to make this recovery.
