Falmouth, MA 4th of July Engagement Ring Lost, Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 4, 2025 The 4th of July is usually a day of family, food, frolic and fun in the sun on a sandy beach of Cape Cod. The 4th started off that way but soon would see frowns and nervous feelings for Erin as her engagement ring slipped into the sand not to be seen for a few hours. Searching by hand, and a digging tool or two before a desperate trip to the closest store that had a metal detector and back. Unfortunately the detector did not provide the results was hoped for.

The next thought was to search the web for help. There to results lead Erin’s group to Brian, another member of “TheRingFinders” who was to tell Erin’s husband that they would be the 4th on the list for help. Brian suggested that the try calling Rick Browne. The call came and within 45 minutes I was at the beach and met up with who I thought was Charlie but no, it was another man with a request to help find a “lost” ring. He would be number 2 on my list when Charlie spoke up and led me to the bay side of the peninsula and the area Erin had “lost” her ring.

I was shown where the ring slipped away and the holes dug while looking for it. Within 15 steps I had one signal which was from a pull tab, the next signal was the ring. I should have known it was going to be one of those days as I had left my cellphone in my car. I would have to rely on Erin, and her sister-in-law to text me the photos and information I needed to write this blog. I bid the party good bye and a reason to enjoy the rest of the day and return to making memories of the 4th. I was off to the next lost ring that was on the opposite side of the peninsula.

Rose Gold Ring Found and Returned Smuggler’s Beach Yarmouth, MA by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

June 30, 2025  Chris and his wife were enjoying the sun, sand, and surf when the combination of a loose ring, sun tan lotion and cool water working together let Chris’s ring slip off his finger. A call for help was placed to J&E Enterprise resulted in a call to me. I took the information and headed to the beach. It was 3 hours past low tide and was coming in fast. The pinned google photo showed me I should be working on the edge of a sea weed bed. It was the first day I braved the water in a bathing suit and to my surprise the water was comfortable but the sea weed patch was just beyond my reach by some 5 feet. I worked the area from the deepest I could go, inward to knee deep water. An hour and a half passed with only one dug target. I was about ready to give up until my detector gave off with the best signal I had heard. I took a scoop and missed the target. Took another scoop, a shake or two and saw the handsome rose gold ring in the bottom of my scoop.

Now all that was left was to contact Chris and set up the return. It turned out that I would mail the ring to his home address. Which has been done and I now have another photo for the Book of Smiles.

I received a call from Taylor last week. Taylor explained that she was on the beach visiting for the day from PA and she believes that she may have dropped her wedding band into the water. I took the short ride over and met up with Taylor and her husband in front of Wildwood convention hall. While walking down towards the beach, Taylor explained that she had removed all three of her rings and placed them in the same pocket with her cell phone. Later on, she had waded out to about calf deep water and pulled her phone out to grab a few pictures. When she pulled out her phone Taylor beleived that one of her rings came out with the phone and dropped into the ocean water. It was just about high tide when I initially met with the couple and I explained that it may be best to wait for low tide to try and recover the ring. Later, the same day, I rode back over and began searching for Taylors ring. I managed to recover her ring a short time later. Taylors ring was shipped back to her the very next day. Another happy and relieved couple!
Taylors review / recommendation:
“Absolutely would recommend Jeffrey if you end up losing anything at the beach! Lost a wedding band in Wildwood while we were down for the day and he was able to recover it and send it back to me! He was very helpful and accommodating!”

Avalon NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Lost a ring? Don’t Wait!

Call 215-850-0188

Over 425 Lost Rings, Jewelry and other sentimental & valuables returned!

It was a warm, sunny day in Avalon, NJ when Tom, Liz, and their family were enjoying a relaxing afternoon on the beach. Before heading into the ocean to play with the kids, Tom handed his wedding band to Liz for safekeeping. She held onto it while watching their belongings and soaking up the sun.

Later in the day, as they were packing up to leave, Liz realized the ring was no longer in her hand. Panic set in as they searched the area where they had been sitting, but the ring was nowhere to be found. Sand has a way of swallowing up valuables in seconds, and they knew they needed help fast.

That’s when they contacted me at Ring Finders South Jersey. I arrived at the Avalon beach within 20 minutes, ready to search. Using my professional-grade metal detector, I began sweeping the area where the ring was last seen.

After just a few minutes, I picked up a strong signal. I carefully dug down and there it was: Tom’s lost wedding band, buried just beneath the surface of the sand. The look of relief and joy on their faces said it all. Another successful recovery and a happy ending on the Jersey Shore!

If you lose a ring or any valuable item in the sand or water, don’t waste time searching blindly. Contact Ring Finders South Jersey for fast and reliable metal detecting service!

Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in Oyster Bay, Found and Returned Murrell’s Inlet SC

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

This is Part 2 of 2 which started when I was called and found another Yellow Gold Wedding band for Charlie and Renee. It just so happened that when I was there, I found out that Charlie’s brother-in-law, Cory had also lost his yellow gold wedding band. Cory had lost his ring 2 days prior on July 4th. The area Cory pointed out was about 30-40 yards wide with an east boundary line that started at the upper beach by the dunes. The south line was straight out from an excavator on an empty lot behind the dunes. The north boundary line was straight out from a Palm tree in the corner of an adjoining lot and the west boundary was out to waist deep water. I had lost the low tide for the day but was able to get out to about my waist which was not as deep as Cory’s waist deep. I was able to check the entire beach inside the suspected area, finding a lot of targets but no man’s wedding band. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much more I could do at that point, so I called it a day. In my mind, I had already decided that I’d be back the next day at low tide, but didn’t say anything at the time. Sadly, Cory and his wife Olivia were leaving the next morning, so I wouldn’t be able to have a surprise return should I find it. On the way home, I text Charlie and told him my plan and ask him to let the gate guard know the next morning. He agreed, so everything was in place, all I needed to do was find Cory’s ring.

I showed up the next morning and everything was going according to plan. Since I had cleared the entire area of the beach, I could focus on searching the water. I started an east/west grid search letting my scoop drag in the sand, about 5 feet up the beach as a reference line. I started at the excavator working north. The water was calm, other than when boats would speed by leaving a wake that got me. With each line, I was able to get out to chest deep, which was a little farther out than Cory’s waist. I was about 5 feet in front of my excavator landmark when I got a loud and solid signal. My screen showing the VDI (visual display indicator) was submerged at arm’s length so I couldn’t see what the numbers on the machine were telling me. I guided my scoop deep into the sand and behind the detector coil and hoped I could get this target in one try. I pulled the scoop out and checked the hole to see if I got it, I DID! I shook the sand and mud out of the scoop under water. I lifted the scoop up and amongst a\scoop full of shells; I saw Cory’s gold wedding band peeking about halfway out from under a shell. Boom!! I made my way out of the water and called Charlie. I said, “Found it!” He replied, “No way, I’ll meet you at your car!” When we met, he called his sister, Olivia and told her I had found it, I think her response was the same as Charlie’s, “No way!” Charlie and Olivia worked out the details on getting the ring back to Cory. I asked Olivia to please take a picture of them and send it to me once they get the ring. I also asked her if Cory was excited, she said “He’s already texting his friends.” Soon as I get the picture, I can post this story.

Today, Thursday July 10th, I got a great picture of Cory with his ring. This is what it’s all about – one Big Happy Smile!

Cory and Olivia – I’m so happy I could help find Cory’s ring. Wish you two only the best!

Jim

TWO LOST GOLD RINGS in CHAPEL HILL, NC…….FOUND!!!!

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

Received a text from a fellow ring finder asking if I wanted to take a double ring recovery that he wasn’t available to go out on. Of course I said, “SURE!”

I was passed on that they were lost at a wedding venue.

He sent me his number, I texted him, he said he lost them after he put them in his pocket before playing football with some kids. Turned out he had a hole in his pocket and that’s how he lost them. We set up a time when I could be there. I also had to gain permission from the Venue. The Venue said I could come out, but I had to be off the property by noon because they have events scheduled from noon today all the way until Sunday.

I arrived at 10 am, took me about an hour, but I found them both about 7 inches apart!

When we met up, his first words were, “YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE!”

Lost and found gold diamond wedding band in Havelock Ontario

Contact:

Today’s recovery took me to Havelock area, to a local camp ground. Kelly called me to see if I could recover her husband’s custom made gold diamond wedding band at a local pond within the campground where they are staying. Joe and a friend were in the pond, anchoring a huge floating trampoline using ropes and cinder blocks. While securing the ropes, he felt his large custom gold ring fall off his finger in about ten feet of water. Unfortunately, Joe is currently working away and was not able to meet me but I did talk to him the evening before to gather as much information as possible. Conditions were not favourable, with at least two feet high thick solid weed bed and a foot of silt beneath the weeds. After 90 minutes under water, with perseverance and lots of work through the weeds and various metal items, I finally found his gorgeous ring. It had worked it’s way through the weeds and into the silt about six inches. Another happy ending and so happy I was able to give the ring back to kelly right there and then. She called Joe right away and shared the good news. Life is good!

Lost diamond engagement ring in pond, Melbourne, Florida recovered by Mike McInroe Florida Ring Finder

Anna and her fiancee were relaxing by the pool and for safe keeping she rolled her diamond engagement ring in the corner of their towel on the lounge chair. And after a nice swim they decided to lay out in the sun and her fiancee grabbed the towel off the chair and Anna’s ring went flying through a safety fence and dropped into the pond water on the other side of the fence. Stunned, she just stood there not wanting to believe what had just happened! They asked the condo management if they could use the pool skimmer net and try and scrape the ring up off the bottom of the pond but their efforts were futile. The water was at least 7 foot deep and they soon realized that they needed specialized help and after a quick search on Google they came across theringfinders.com and decided to call Al Zenker, a member of theringfinders and he came out and gave them some advice, which was to call me as I am scuba certified and live fairly close by. So after hearing Austin and Anna’s story it was obvious that a dive was required so we made plans to meet up the next day.

Most all of the small ponds in central Florida are silty and mud covered bottoms that can be very difficult to navigate and search, especially when searching for such a small item like a ring…BUT…Anna was quite sure about where exactly her ring dropped into the water and that made it so much easier. I just wanted to test the pond bottom so I walked out from shore along the cement block wall/foundation and immediately noticed the bottom was sandy and gravel mixed, which would be 100% easier to search than the mud and silt I was anticipating! Plus the blocks were stacked pyramid style with out rebar and that too made it easier to search. As I slowly descended to the bottom I started getting signals…washers, pieces of copper wire, screws and then one large target that was quite deep. And at the end of each pass of my NOKTA Pulse Dive hand held pinpointer I would go all the way to the base of the block pool foundation and that is where I heard a nice repeatable signal that proved to be exactly what I was looking for! Anna’s lost diamond engagement ring was pushed right up against the block and when I surfaced and showed Anna what I had found, she started shaking! Her emotions were running high and the feelings of relief and thankfulness were so strong she had to sit down and calm herself and let reality sink in…she had her precious ring back once again! So I thank God for leading me and using me to help and bless others!

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP @ 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!
