Lost Wedding Ring

  • from Waikīkī Beach (Hawaii, United States)

Lost Wedding Ring found! 

It all started with a missed call from Jack. He reached out to me on behalf of his wife, Aly, who had lost her wedding ring at the shoreline the previous evening. As a Ring Finder, every call is an opportunity to help restore something truly precious—and I was determined to help.

Jack provided me with detailed photos and described where he thought the ring had slipped off Aly’s finger. Based on his information, I planned to search at first light, when the tide and beach would be at their quietest.

At sunrise, I arrived at the beach, fired up my XP Deus 2 metal detector, and began to grid the sand systematically. After a while, I started to unearth several fishing weights—common clutter in beach hunting. Suddenly, my detector coil died. My heart sank for a moment, but I hustled back to my truck, hoping I had a spare. Luckily, I found an extra coil, swapped it out, and got back to work.

Returning to the search area, I continued gridding carefully. After a few more targets, I dug out another fishing weight. I rechecked the hole, and the detector sang once more. As I lifted my scoop, there it was—a beautiful ring gleaming in the morning sun!

There was no one else around on the beach, so I headed back to my truck, eager to call Jack with the good news. But wouldn’t you know it—my phone had died, too! I plugged it in to charge, and as soon as it powered on, I texted Jack to let him know the ring had been found.

Jack met me at the beach a little while later. I handed Aly’s beautiful wedding ring back to him—safe, sound, and sparkling.

Thank you, Jack and Aly, for allowing me to be a part of this special recovery. Returning lost items is always rewarding, but it’s even more meaningful when it’s something as precious as a wedding ring.

    Hi! My name is Jack from the description above. My wife’s ring fell off of her finger one evening as we enjoyed the beach during sunset. We were about to leave when the shocking event occurred. There was no use in looking for it in the dark, so we made the sad trip home. The next day we returned to the beach desperately making attempts to find the ring with a shovel and several sifting tools. With no such luck, we once again returned home empty handed. That night the thought occurred to me to search for some information online. I read the multiple stories of lost treasurers. As luck would have it, I stumbled upon this site. There were 2 others that I had contacted about recovering the ring. Adric reached out to me that night and said he would begin his search in the early morning. I couldn’t believe it when he pulled the ring out of his pocket. A kind, selfless person that genuinely wants you to be his good deed. He was just as excited and joyful as I was. I absolutely couldn’t recommend this expert more. Hopefully I won’t require your services again, but if I do, you will be the first one that I reach out to. Thank you so much again! You truly saved the day, and returned a precious keepsake and token of our marriage of 12 years.
