Lost Wedding Ring In Car

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from a young lady saying her husband was playing with his wedding ring while driving and it dropped between the seats and disappeared.  Both searched for the ring for two days with no luck.  In a last ditch effort they turned to the mighty internet in hopes of finding someone with experience who finds lost rings.  And, they found us, The Ring Finders. We drove to Ft Worth, TX and met with the owner of the ring and got a description of what happened.  We used our specialized camera to search the nooks and crannies that was not available to the naked eye and spotted his wedding band. Our happiness of returning the ring to him almost matched his happiness of having it back in his possession and on his finger.

Anther great find for The Ring Finders.

Lost Wedding Ring Found by Metal Detecting in Time for 40th Anniversary

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

23 September 2025.  Yesterday I received an email from Lesley inquiring whether I might be able to search for her husband John’s lost wedding ring.  She had read a story in the Boston Globe Magazine about the RingFinders in which I was mentioned, and she knew me from past times as we both worked for the same employer.  She wasn’t very confident that a search would be fruitful because the ring had been lost about a year and a half ago, presumably ‘somewhere in their yard’.  I said I’d be happy to do a search and we made an appointment for me to search this morning.

The good thing about a loss on someone’s property of course is that there are no other detectorists who might have found the ring during the interval since it was lost, as can easily happen if a ring is lost on public property like a beach.  The bad thing is, ‘somewhere in the yard’ is a pretty vague basis for doing a search.

Before I began the search, Lesley showed me her wedding ring, which was a match to John’s.  Fortunately John had a pretty good idea that his ring might have come off his finger sometime when he was checking the irrigation system under a long row of evergreen trees.  I began my search in the area John described, deep under the low branches of the trees and along  their perimeter.  This turned up nothing but some of the usual yard trash.  I then searched the remainder of the back yard and down to the edge of a depression where brush was discarded.  Brush piles are a good candidate for lost rings because rings can come off as debris is tossed, but John indicated that these piles had accumulated after he had lost his ring, so I didn’t dig into them.

After nearly two hours of searching, the remaining likely candidate was under evergreens upslope of the irrigation system, where John might have done some other poking around or cleaning.  Sure enough, within a couple of minutes John’s ring turned up under mixed dirt and leaf debris 10 or 12 feet from the initial search area!

I walked over to John and Lesley who were sitting on a nearby porch.  Their expressions were something to the effect of ‘well, at least you gave it a good try’, but that quickly changed to ‘I can’t believe it’ when I handed them the ring.  We were all delighted that ‘somewhere in the yard’ turned into a successful recovery.  Best of all, John and Lesley will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary next month, and it’s great to know that their matched wedding rings will be part of the celebration!

John and Lesley celebrate a successful recovery.

 

John’s multicolor gold wedding band.

Lost Gold Cornell University Ring at Royal Hawaiian Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text from Skylar saying I lost a ring in Waikiki how long would it take you to arrive?  I was just a few blocks from my home so I told her I could grab my gear and head right over in about 20 minutes depending on traffic.  They are from San Francisco and were on vacation.  After a little back and forth, I determined they were at the Royal Hawaiian Beach.  My daughter agreed to drop me off as it was getting towards dusk and time was of essence.  When I arrived, I met Skylar at the beach entrance and she introduced me to Will whose ring was lost.  It fell out of his shirt after coming out of the water.   Will showed me the dry sand area to hunt and thought his ring was silver but after finding it with the Manticore as a #31 on the VDI it was heavy and gold!  Vacation saved!  Aloha to Will, Skylar and the gang!

Aggie Ring disappears – Irving, Texas

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a young man who said he was playing Football with a friend, just passing the ball around.  When they finished playing he realized his coveted Aggie Ring was gone.

He jumped on the Internet and found “The Ring Finders” and gave us a call.  We responded immediately and boy was it hot, over 100 degrees.  Ellen and I covered the entire football field and on my next to last pass I saw His Aggie Ring sparkling in the dirt and grass, no detector needed on this one.

I let Ellen know I found it and we went walking towards the young man.  As we got closer I told him we needed to get some water and ask him to hold this and I handed him his Aggie Ring.  I wish you all could have seen his face, it was priceless.  So much fun, I love what we get to do to help people in their time of panic.

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)
Contact:

I received a text on Friday the 19th front Cindy that she thinks she lost her wedding band while walking her dog. I spoke to her about the incident and met her that afternoon. After searching for a little over an hour it got dark and I told her I would return on Sunday to continue the search. This was a large area about 200 feet by 50 feet. I returned on Sunday and also lent her husband a spare detector, my son also helped in the search. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes I was beginning to think she didn’t loose the ring here. Then bang a very good signal and there it was. She was not there and had just left so I showed her husband and he was very happy. Thank You Cindy for the opportunity and thank you for the generous rewards.

Lost — Men’s Gold Tungsten wedding ring – New Smyrna Beach, Florida — FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I was detecting on New Smyrna Beach this past Saturday. It was a quiet day — not much action, just the usual hum of waves and the occasional curious glance from beachgoers.

A woman came running up to me, carrying a baby and looking flustered. Her name was Tracy, and she said her son had just lost his wedding ring out in the surf. Moments later, I met Oliver, the unlucky groom. He told me he’d been out in the deeper water tossing a football with his friends when the ring flew off mid-throw. He felt the exact moment it slipped away.

I prayed and asked for God’s help.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t set up for deep water detecting. Still, I waded out as far as I could — the tide was coming in fast.  I told Oliver I’d come back the next day at low tide and give it a proper shot.

The next day, I returned. The tide had pulled back, revealing a whole new stretch of beach. This time, I came prepared: Aquatec headphones, and my trusty Manticore detector in hand. I stepped into the surf, scanning the troughs.

Almost immediately, I got a hit. My heart skipped — maybe this was it! I dug carefully and pulled up… a gold earring. A good find, but not the one I was after.

Not long after that, I caught another strong signal — a deep, clean tone. I dug in again, and this time, out came a shining wedding ring.  I knelt and thanked God for guiding me to the spot.  I called Oliver and later returned his ring to him and Sasha, his bride of one year.  Another happy family!

Citadel Military College Ring Lost Playing Disc Golf in Huntsville, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Cesar on Saturday (September 6th, 2025) just before 4pm.  He made a post in the North Alabama Disc Golf Facebook group and one of my co-workers, Rob, sent him my info.  Cesar was playing in a disc golf tournament at the Mastin Lake Course in Huntsville, Alabama that morning.  Cesar finished some practice shots and just before he threw the frisbee at the first hole, it started raining.  He used a towel to dry his hands, but they were still pretty wet when he threw the frisbee.  Right as Cesar got to the second hole and he set down his bag is when he noticed his cherished 2003 class ring from The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, was gone.  When Cesar called, I was doing some things around my house.  Mastin Lake Park is only 10 minutes away, so I told Cesar that I would change, grab my gear, and head his way.

I met Cesar just before 4:30 pm at Mastin Lake Park.  I had him show me all the areas he was at.  He told me that he really felt that his ring came off at the first hole, because it usually fits him snug and the wet hands from the rain probably caused it to slip off on the frisbee throw.  I searched the area with my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil from where Cesar was standing to the basket and extended the sides of my grid fairly wide.  No ring.  Even though Cesar didn’t think his ring came off on the practice throws, I still wanted to search that area to clear it.  No ring there.

We eventually went back to the first hole since that was where it was raining.  Cesar re-enacted the throw and he had a strong follow through with his right hand (hand with the ring) to the right side.  I began searching further out to the right than where I had before.  Cesar was walking ahead of me searching with his eyes.  A few minutes later I heard Cesar say, “oh my God” as he bent down and picked up his yellow gold Citadel class ring!!  Woo-hoo!  I immediately looked to the sky and said, “thank you, God!”  Cesar was so happy and thankful that he had his very sentimental class ring back!  He gave me a big hug.  We were both surprised at how far his ring flew.  I added two photos at the end of where Cesar was standing and where the disc golf basket was.  Cesar said his ring landed so far away and he had never looked in that area earlier in the day.  What a miracle to find it!  Praise the Lord!

Cesar and I chatted for a few minutes, took some photos, and we parted ways, headed home.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

Lost Gold & Turquoise 25th Anniversary Ring at Honu Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a call from Paul from Temecula, California and was celebrating his 25th Anniversary at the Ko Olina Resort.  Paul told me he was standing in knee deep water as his wife was taking his picture and a wave hit him and the 25th Anniversary Gold & Turquoise Ring, his wife had just given him, fell off into the shallow water and disappeared in the soft sand.  After trying unsuccessfully, the resort security gave him my number for the recovery.  I agreed to meet him that evening as I had a scuba dive hunt the next morning in a different lagoon.  When I arrived, Paul took me down to the shoreline to show me the area to hunt.  On the third leg of the grid in knee deep water I got a nice zinc penny tone on the Manticore but low and behold it was Paul’s amazing ring.  Anniversary saved!  Aloha to Paul!
