Lost gold wedding ring found at Perth beach
Jeremy called me this afternoon as his gold wedding ring had been lost at the beach yesterday. He had put it to one side before venturing into the water but as he was packing up all of his beach belongings, the ring was accidentally left behind in the sand somewhere ?
I headed down this afternoon as I wanted to get to the area before the local kids with metal detectors hit the spot.
Jeremy had marked the area where he had set up a beach tent with his family so the location we were searching was no bigger then 100 square metres, surely the ring would be found ! I’ve done “easy” hunts before and have gone away unsuccessful so until the item is found then it is still “lost”.
Well the beer caps were plentiful (Corona seems to be very popular down here) on this section of beach but after about 10 minutes, I got a nice signal with my White’s detector. I scraped away just a couple of inches of sand and there lay Jeremy’s very nice gold wedding ring.
Thanks for the nice finders reward and I’m glad you got in contact with TheRingFinders.
Regards,
Tony.
Lost white gold ring “bubbles” has been found in Perth park
Vicky called me a couple of days ago asking for help to find her white gold ring that she thought was lost at her local park and playground. The ring was a wide band with a nice “bubble” design stamped onto the outside of the ring. Quite a few people had searched the area but unfortunately the ring was no where to be seen. They had also put a notice up in case anyone had picked up the ring.
I spent about 30 minutes detecting the thicker grassed areas, whilst eyeballing the flatter ground but was only rewarded with 5 cent coins. There was a small sand play area that I also hunted but it was clear of signals so I moved back towards the grassed areas but still no luck. In the mean time, Vicky’s Mum continued to look for the ring by scouting the ground.
Because the area was generally flattened grass, the ring should be easy to spot by eye but this was assuming that no one else had pocketed the gold ring.
I decided that I would check the sandpit again so I ran the search coil closer to the stone wall this time and quickly got a nice solid beep from the machine…..expecting another 5 cent coin, I was thrilled to see the glint of a silver/white gold ring with the “bubbles” etched into the ring.
I casually wandered back to where Vicky’s Mum was still scouring the grass and informed her “I just don’t think you will find it there…..because…..of this” and I opened my hand to reveal the ring in the palm of my hand. I really enjoy that part !!!
Thanks for contacting me and it was great to have another successful hunt.
All the best,
Tony.
Lost diamond ring has been found, South Beach, Perth
Ki contacted me recently via TheRingFinders as she had lost a very sentimental ring that had belonged to her Mum. Ki was kind enough to include a quick story of how the ring was lost as well as some nice photo’s. Here is what she wrote……
“The story behind the ring is that it was my mother’s engagement ring. Sadly mum passed away 15 years ago, when I was 13 years old. Dad’s been looking after the rings until about 2 years ago when he passed them onto me. I was too scared to wear them for the first 6 months and just kept them in a safe place.
After work on Tues went down to the beach for just a quick jump in the ocean, meant to take her rings off but forgot. Figured I would be careful and not swim around too much… Didn’t count on the dog knocking them off!
Pandora (the dog), loves to swim, but also always wants to be picked up in the water. She’s a flat coat retriever so it’s a bit of an effort. When she launched herself off me the ring got scraped off and went straight to the bottom. I was looking and looking, about 6 other people were helping, stayed in till sunset so it was probably about an hour, and then Tim went back the next day for another 2 hours.
Found you by googling ‘Underwater Metal Detectors’…
Had no idea there was such a service as yours. We thought we were going to have to figure out how to do it ourselves.
But then you came and managed to find it so quickly. I still can’t believe I have it back. I am so incredibly grateful. Makes her ring even more special!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
Thank you Ki for contacting me…it was great to see that ring back on your finger !
All the best for the future,
Tony.

Gold Rush in Maple Ridge BC / Huge Gold Rings…Found
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Its been a while and yesterday afternoon I was out doing some Christmas shopping with my brother who is from California when I received a call from a young lady. She said that her father had lost his ring. She ask me a few questions and said that her dad would give me a call.
I got the call minutes later and the man went on to tell me that he had lost 4 huge rings at his job site, they had dropped out of his pocket because the zipper broke. You could image how upsetting that would be as he wasn’t sure where they had fell out…I was excited to get out there and search for his rings but I had Christmas shopping to do so I rushed around and got it done and shot out to Maple Ridge to help find the rings.
I got to the job site at 5:30 pm and we talked about the possibilities of where he thought the rings could be, he told me that he spent 6 hours the day before searching and sifting the dirt for the rings and 4 hours the next day. He called his daughter and asked her to search the internet to see if there was anyone out there with a metal detector that could help… She found ”The Ring Finders”
I turned on my trusted Whites XLT and it was going crazy with the power line directly above me. I quickly went back to my truck and took out my new Whites V3i and set up the frequency and was able to program the detector to cancel out about 80% of the interference from the power lines above me.
After about 30 minutes the young man jumped into his backhoe and started to level out a big pile of sand so I could check it out and while he was doing that I went to another area where I got a good signal and started to dig…
Ring #1
What a sight to see when this came out of the dirt! We were very excited and hopeful that the rest would be close bye…
Ring#2
Only a yard away from the first ring…I knew the rest would show up close bye…
Ring #3
These were very large and heavy rings!
Ring#4
This was the biggest ring and what a great feeling to find all 4 rings, he said Christmas came early for him! I have to say that was fun! I think I found more gold then those guys from that reality show called Alaska ”Gold Rush”
Thanks for the kind reward!
I Love my Job!
Lost something? Call me ASAP! I’ll help you find it.

Lost 18k wedding ring has been found at City Beach, Perth
I was trawling through the Lost & Found section of the “Gumtree” which is the equivalent of something like Craigslist. I keep an eye out for rings and jewellery that has been lost at beaches and parks.
Donna had posted an article about her husband’s lost gold wedding ring at one of Perth’s local beaches. I gave her a call and she gave me a good description of the lost zone.
City Beach is a popular beach but I know through experience that it is a hard beach to search due to heavy waves and deep, deep sand in the water that just never seems to shift. Anyway, I told her that I would give it a go as conditions were looking really good for water hunting with hot weather, strong offshore winds that knock the seas flat and help push the water out on a low tide.
I headed down to City Beach this morning not knowing what the sand would be like until I got in the water. Sure enough, the sand was quite mushy but there were a few depressions that were packed down with shells and heavier gravelly sand. I decided that my best chance was to hunt the low areas and hope the ring had been washed into one of them. After some time without a beep from my White’s metal detector, I managed to hear a slight threshold rise and a yellow flash from the LED on top of the detector. I estimated that the ring was about 1 foot down into the seabed. It took me some time to finally get the target into my scoop and after all the sand and gravel had washed from my scoop, there was a lovely two-tone gold ring showing for my efforts. I quickly checked the inside of the band for the engraving “colourful” and yes it was there! Another day or two and the ring would have been out of range for sure.
To her relief and happiness, Donna now has the ring back in her possession. I think her husband is in for a surprise as he currently doesn’t know it has been found.
Donna…..maybe you can add to the “comments” section and let us know of the outcome.
Thank you for letting me find you ring and trusting my phone call out of no-where !
Tony.
Here are some pictures and a “dry” video after I had found the ring.
