Lost Ring found in Key West Florida

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I’ve been in Florida for the last little while enjoying the nice winter weather and doing some detecting. I met with my Key West member Alex who helps a lot of people out here, I met his friends Dorothy and Mary Lou, who were detecting the beach.at night after the crowds went home.

It was relatively a slow night loaded with the typical garbage, bottle caps, pull tabs & some coins. That night I did manage to find one ring. I believe it was a prayer ring with the lords prayer on it and some crosses. I showed Dorothy and Mary Lou and Mary Lu really liked it, I said you can have it because the chances of finding the owner were very slim as this is a tourist destination, and people come and go.

The other thing was someone should’ve found Alex right away because he has such a strong presence here and people know him and let others know to call him If anybody loses anything on these beaches… he’s the man.

Would you believe the next day I was doing a little night hunting at the same beach, a young man came up and asked for help looking for his Lost Ring exactly where I found it the day before. I knew this was the owner and I also knew I gave the ring away… Boy was I embarrassed! I called Alex and asked if he could call Dorothy and explain the situation and Dorothy’s friend Mary Lou had no problem giving back the ring for me to give to this young man.

I received a call from a young man who lost his white gold wedding band in the ocean at White Rock beach in Surrey, BC. After asking my typical questions it came up that he had rented a metal detector and search for two days but couldn’t find it.

I often wonder how many people rent or buy a metal detector and search but don’t find their ring and give up??? I’m sure this happens more than one can imagine.

He was determined to get his ring back so he went online to search for someone with experience using a metal detector, and that’s when he found TheRingFinders directory and called me. This search took a few hours because the young man was out of town and I was searching in the wrong area until I FaceTimed him and got the correct location. Within 30 minutes I found his beautiful white gold ring.

I received a text message from a young lady who said her husband lost his gold wedding band (only married three months) in the backyard.
She went on to say she posted it on a Facebook group and a local person came to help but couldn’t  find it. They found me online and reached out to see if I could help.

I showed up to the backyard and met he young man, heard the story of the ring, how it was gifted to him by his father on his wedding day. It was his father’s ring he could not wear it because he was allergic to the gold. You can imagine how sick he felt by losing it. He was a little freaked out that they were going to have Thanksgiving next weekend at his dad’s house.

I asked my typical questions, found out where the person did the searching and after no ring on my search I knew I had to start moving a pile of lumber that was stacked in a work area net to the patio.

After spending 20 minutes, moving some 2×4’s I saw the ring laying there in its glory!

I got a call from a young man who was trying to help his friend find his lost ring, that was lost in Alouette lake in Maple Ridge. This young man found me on Reddit, he contacted his friend and got him to call me asking my typical questions we sit out to beautiful Alouette lake to find his lost wedding band of only five months.

Some of these searches candy, very difficult, specially if the person doesn’t know where they lost it. His thought was, it must’ve come off in the water, I met with them he put me in the area, and after an hour I was able to reunite him with his beautiful ring!

The hero in this story is his friend who found me mini hours after it was lost when he got home and started researching and found the Ring Finder’s. If it wasn’t for him this friend this ring would’ve been sitting in the lake for someone else to find.

I got a call the other day from a friend I worked with in film who remembered my service and had lost his ring while gardening in the backyard. He went on to tell me that he had bagged up the yard trimmings, but didn’t put it out for pickup until I checked it, and that was a good thing because as you can imagine the chances are it was going to be in one of those bags, and it was in the second bag I checked… His gold wedding band of 39 years. These stories are always amazing and every story is different in its own way…Happy when I find them and sad when I don’t!

I received a text message in regards to a lost ring at third beach in Stanley Park. I was on my way to another church where I have to spend the night until the water level was down low enough where I could do the search correctly and that was until 5 AM, I called the people heard the story and told him I’d be there as soon as I found this ring in White rock in the morning as it made no sense to drive all the way back to Vancouver to search for the ring then come back to White rock is my vehicle cost over $200 to fill the tank, they said perfect.

I found a bringing white rock by 8 AM and I was on my way to Vancouver to search for their ring. When I got halfway there I got a text message saying someone was there with him Metal Detector helping them look for it, I was just waiting for them to text back and say it was found, but the person did not find it. I arrived, met the young man, and he showed me the area where his wife lost this beautiful, sentimental ring.

I started my search and after an hour and no luck I continued my grid as it was very trashy area. I knew I had to dig out most of everything and by doing so I found her beautiful ring!

 

The story of this ring was told the centre diamond, and two other diamonds were from each great grandmother, and also one grandmothers gold that went into making this beautiful engagement ring. The generations connected to. This is beautiful, and I was so happy to be able to continue the story for one day to be passed down to their son or daughter

Lost Diamond Ring Found in Rehoboth, Delaware.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I am here in Ocean City meeting my member Mr. Brian Rudolph to interview and do my doc-u series…”Found It”

I asked him if he had any searches he had not recovered the rings, he said yes, one in Rehoboth Delaware, so we met there to give it a shot.

This was a tough search because it was lost at low tide in waist deep water, if you’ve never detected in the Atlantic ocean you wouldn’t know how difficult it is, being pounded by 2 to 3 foot waves.

This man is relentless, he goes to any length to help someone. Low tide was late afternoon and as he was getting pounded by the surf, I was working the wet sand in amongst people and got very very lucky..I found the ring! Brian was just as happy as I was to see that ring and know that it was going back to its owner. We figured out the surf must’ve pushed it in land more because this was not the area she described it being lost in. I’ve had a lot of fun on my travels meeting amazing members and lucky to have returned 3 rings back to the happy owners on my travels.

Lost Sapphire Ring, Virginia Beach…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I’m in Virginia Beach with the Gigmaster, Mr. Steven Andrews. Steven gets a call from frantic lady who lost her beautiful emerald ring at the beach, we race out to look at the location and unfortunately they had fenced off the area, getting ready for the BeachIt country music festival. Unfortunately, we had to call and tell her that the search area was out of bounds for the next 7-10 days.

There was another factor in this story… they had pushed up the sand from the area she’d lost the ring and made one long 4 feet mound about 100 yards long to separate the ocean from the concert area and the ring would’ve been buried most likely. Flash back seven days later at night around 12:30 AM. I went there just to search the concert grounds and was asked to leave due to liability reasons, as I was walking off the beach I noticed this with the area the lady had mentioned she lost her ring and within minutes, I found it.

This was truly a miracle, so much going against us and so lucky to be in that area and sweep my coil over it. I reached out to the local news station wavy 10 and they came out and did a story on the return… I of course set it up for the surprise factor!

It was such a fun time in Virginia Beach, I’m sad to go. I met a great member and friend Steven Andrews, who has helped me a lot on how to work my YouTube channels and get more content out there for people to watch. This whole trip has been amazing meeting great members and I appreciate everyone for what they do and also for being so kind to me along my journey.

Found & Returned 24 karat Gold Ring/Virginia Beach

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I’ve been driving across America for the last two months shooting my doc-u series on my members and people they have helped. I’m in Virginia Beach now with the gig master Steven Andrews. We get up early one morning to go search the beach after the ”BeachIt” Country music festival but we were asked to leave the area for safety reasons. So we started down the beach a little bit and I found a beautiful 24 karat gold ring with a heart on it. Someone came up and told me the guy over there who was detecting was looking for a ring. I caught up to him and he told me an East Indian lady had lost a gold ring, and he was looking for it.

I asked, did you know where she lived? He said no I think she was staying in a hotel here and she may be coming back to the beach later. I asked if he saw her to please tell her to call TheRingFinders, I may have found her ring.

My friend Steven Andrews and I headed up the beach and two hours later Steven got the call we were hoping for… It was the lady who had lost the ring, she described it perfectly, we met up with her and we’re happy to give her ring back.

This is my first recovery for someone on my trip and it felt so good to hand back that beautiful ring and see her smile… A big THANK YOU!! to the Detectorist who saw her and told her to call TheRingFinders.
