Lost Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when my fellow ring finder Don referred me to John who was on a Family Reunion vacation in Waikiki from his home State of Washington.  John and his lovely wife Vanessa were enjoying the cool waters of Kuhio Beach when Vanessa decided to have John hold her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring for safe keeping.  During the exchange at peak a tide, in chest deep water,  a wave crashed into them and the ring fell into the water and disappeared.  They hunted for nearly 2 hours with not recovery.  I told John I would pack my gear,  park at the zoo and we could hunt the ring in about 15 minutes.  John was my marker in the water and I did a massive expanding grid search with no hint of the ring.  We were about to call it a day as the sun had set and we were losing light.  Suddenly, Vanessa appeared on the beach and motioned to us in the water that we were in the wrong area.  She walked down the beach to the east and got to a point and said it was straight out from there.  John went out into the water again to be my marker.  Daylight was fading fast!  On the second leg of the grid search, BOOM! screaming target and in one scoop there was the amazing ring in the scoop.  “We got it” I yelled to John.  He came running over and gave me a bear hug.  Tourists on the beach were clapping and congratulating Vanessa & John.  What a moment!  I only wish Vanessa had been there sooner.  Why is it the wives seem to always be better at pinpointing a location???  A big Aloha to Vanessa and John!  Here’s to a wonderful remainder of your family reunion!

Wedding Ring Recovered in the Sand Just Before First Anniversary

  • from Norman (Oklahoma, United States)
Contact:

A tungsten wedding ring disappeared into the sand during a volleyball game, just a few weeks before its owner’s first wedding anniversary.

Fortunately, he had a good idea of the general area where the ring was lost. That makes a huge difference with recoveries like this. We marked out the likely search area, established a methodical grid, and began working the sand section by section.

Within just a few minutes, the detector gave us the signal we were hoping for.

A quick recovery from the sand, and the tungsten wedding band was back where it belonged — on his hand, with plenty of time to spare before that first anniversary.

When you lose a ring, try to remember the smallest possible area where it may have come off and avoid disturbing the area more than necessary. Even a rough location can dramatically improve the chances of a fast recovery.

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Hale Koa Volleyball Courts…FOUND!!!

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

This ring hunt occurred yesterday evening when I got a call from Noa who lives in Aina Haina on Oahu.  While going up to block a volleyball spike at 50 MPH, the ball struck Noa’s Platinum Wedding band and he felt it come off.  They immediately halted the game to see if anyone had spotted where it landed.  Unfortunately no one did.  They ran there hands lightly across the sand where they thought it would be but to no avail.  Noa reached out to me and I agreed I’d come right down before the night crew of detectorists hit the beach.  Easy parking and when I arrived Noa had already drawn a box of where the ring should be.  I fired up the Manticore and started the search.  The area was mostly sterile of targets.  I covered the eastern half of the court and no ring was found.  I expanded out in every direction on the eastern half but no ring.  Surprisingly, I found a 1927 Buffalo Nickel!  I even went perpendicular to my previous search, just in case.  I talked to Noa and his lovely wife Camille and the only thing left was to try the western half of the court but none of us were hopeful knowing how the ball hit Noa’s hand and the probable trajectory of his ring.  Then on about the fourth line of the grid I got a booming target and in one scoop I could here a heavy clunking in the scoop.  To all of our surprise, it was Noa’s Platinum Ring.  We can’t imagine how it got to that location just thankful to Jesus it was found.  Then there were hugs of relief all around.  Aloha to Noa & Camille!

Yellow Gold Loop Earring Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On Monday, August 24, 2026, I received a voice mail saying in part, “Candy, lost a ring on North Myrtle Beach. Give me a call back and I just wanted to discuss fees.” When I called her back, she told me that a yellow gold loop earring had been lost in the dry sand and asked what I charge. I explained the details on cost, and she asked if I could come. I told her I’d be there in 20 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and hit the road.

I called Candy as I was walking out on the beach and she waved me down. I found out that Becky had her earring fall out of her ear and she showed me a 2’X2’ square where the ring should be. I asked Becky for the other earring so I could test it. After switching to ‘all metal’ mode, I got a loud and clear signal. I asked Becky and the 3 other ladies to move their chairs. As Becky picked up her chair, I swung the coil over the area and Boom! I had her earring in my hand before she set the chair down. Becky was extremely happy as this was a past anniversary present, and tomorrow just happens to be her anniversary.

Becky and Candy – thank you for calling and trusting me to find your lost treasure.

Jim

North Wildwood NJ Lost Sentimental Necklace Recovered by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

Mother’s Ashes Necklace Found on North Wildwood Beach

Losing jewelry can be heartbreaking.

Losing a necklace containing your mother’s ashes is something much deeper.

That is exactly what happened to Tiffany while visiting North Wildwood, New Jersey.

A Necklace With Priceless Meaning

Tiffany realized that her necklace was missing from the beach.

This wasn’t an ordinary piece of jewelry.

The necklace contained her mother’s ashes.

Finding it was extremely important to Tiffany and her family.

She searched the area but could not locate the necklace.

Eventually, she contacted Ring Finders South Jersey for help.

Ring Finders South Jersey Responds

John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey responded to Tiffany’s request.

John specializes in finding lost jewelry and other valuables.

He uses professional metal detecting equipment and careful search techniques.

The search began by identifying the most likely area.

John then worked the beach systematically.

A methodical search can make a major difference when jewelry is lost in sand.

The Signal

After carefully searching the area, the detector produced a promising signal.

John investigated the target beneath the sand.

There it was.

Tiffany’s necklace had been recovered.

The necklace containing her mother’s ashes was safely back in her hands.

For Tiffany, this recovery meant much more than finding jewelry.

It meant getting back a precious connection to her mother.

Some Recoveries Are Priceless

Every lost item has a story.

Some items have tremendous sentimental value.

A necklace containing a loved one’s ashes is impossible to replace.

That is why acting quickly after losing something valuable is important.

Do not assume that your lost jewelry is gone forever.

Sand can hide rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and other valuables.

A professional metal detectorist may be able to locate what you cannot see.

LOST TRI-GOLD WEDDING RING AT WHISPERING PINES, NC…..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a referral from The Dive Guys (Alex Cogley-thanks again!) about someone needing a gold ring found over at Whispering Pines!

He got me in contact with Tiz Jefferson and she informed me her husband had lost his tri-gold wedding ring about 6-8 weeks ago while keep an eye out for about 7 kids in a swimming area. He felt it slide off and was like OH NO! They even bought a metal detector and tried to retrieve it themselves.

I set up a date and time with her for today at 5:30. I got to the site at about 5. After scanning the main area for almost an hour with no luck, I decided to expand my search area and I went deeper and in mossy areas for the last 30 mins. Then I get a signal at about 7 feet deep and 2 feet of moss. As I followed my pin-pointer to the target, my finger slipped into a ring and I knew I had finally found his ring!!!

I popped up holding the the ring up high as I swam back to shallower water. At first they didn’t realize I had found the ring, until I removed my mouth believe and said “I found it”!!! They both were so excited and happy to have it back. Before 7pm he had his ring back on his finger!!

After taking my gear off and putting it away, we snapped some photos and Mrs. Jefferson snapped a bunch of me in action!

Thank you for contacting and allowing me to recover your lost ring! I love returning lost items and seeing the excitement and joy from owners as despair turns to relief!

Lost heirloom yellow gold chain in pond at Ft. Pierce Florida…Found and returned to owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



This lost gold chain recovery began when I received a call from Max asking me if I could help him find his very sentimental and cherished gold chain in a small pond. He explained how he was at a friends place and they all decided to jump off the end of a dock into 7 feet of water and Max figured he would do a back flip. Knowing that his gold chain was long enough to come off over his head he deliberately held his hand by the side of his head to sort of catch or stop the chain from coming off…but in this case it did not work. Max felt his chain come off and it caught on his little finger and disappeared into the water and sank into the silty bottom of the pond. He knew it had to be real close to where he jumped in and he decided to buy a cheap hand held metal detector/pinpointer and tried his best to locate his lost gold chain and after a few attempts he decided to look online for more help. A few days later I met Max and armed with my 6 inch hand held Nokta Pulse Dive Scuba Detector and handy Blu3 Nemo dive system I jumped into the water and began carefully searching the target area. I found a number of items like sissors, a BB gun pistol, a ratchet strap, etc…before my fingers wrapped around a chain like object and as I cleaned the silt away I could see Max’s lost gold chain! Again I was reminded just how good GOD is to give me the opportunity and know how to help people find their lost treasures! What a privilege and blessing…and Max was super thrilled to see his special heirloom gold chain…a gift that was given to him by his father 5 years ago and the one that he hopes to wear the rest of his life!

What have you lost? Call, text or message me and let’s talk!

How to find a lost gold ring in Florida with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Do you need a metal detector to find a lost ring in your yard, at the park or in the ocean? Why not hire a professional metal detecting expert instead. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029! On land, in the water, at the park, in the grass, sand, in cars, homes…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers, etc.

Joshua called me to see about how to find his wife’s lost gold ring in his brother-in-law’s front yard. I asked a few questions about how it was lost and when it happened and from his answers I could pretty much tell that the possibilities were high of being able to find her lost gold ring. When I arrived it was pouring rain and as I donned my boots and rain coat and grabbed my water proof Garrett AT Max metal detector I asked God to help me find Joshua’s wife’s lost gold ring. Joshua was watching me from the cover of the garage and I began my normal tight overlapping grid search of the area where his wife had dropped her ring. Fifteen minutes later my metal detector sounded off with the distinct shallow signal with the exact numbers and as I looked down I could see the clear outline of a small gold ring in the wet grass. I called Joshua to come have a look and then corrected my sentence to “Just wait there…I have something to show you!” Joshua had searched the area well with a cheap metal detector but in the end I was honored to be able to help him and his wife find their lost gold ring!

How can I help you? Call, text or leave me a message and let’s talk!

Mike McInroe…rain or shine I am here to find what is yours and not mine!
