Metal detecting service finds lost engagement ring in pond, Orlando Florida!

Contact me for all your metal detecting and recovery needs. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029. On land, in the water, the grass, sand, in cars, in homes…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers and more.

I received a text from Daniel asking if I could help him find a ring that “ended up in a retention pond behind his apartment building” in the Baldwin Park Orlando area. Apparently this happened 4 months earlier and Daniel said he was waiting for the water in the pond to recede before trying to find someone to help retrieve his lost engagement ring. I asked a number of questions and soon found out that Daniel’s wife had actually thrown her own diamond engagement ring. Daniel assured me that he had a fairly good idea as to where the lost engagement ring landed so I gathered my gear and headed his way. After I arrived I decided to cover the grassy area between the sidewalk and the waters edge and only came up with some aluminum pieces so I then donned my wet suit and grabbed my trusty waterproof Garrett AT Max metal detector along with my top of the line Xtreme scoop, my floating sifter and started grid searching in and out of the water. It only took 15 minutes to get that sweet gold signal and when I dumped my scoop contents onto the floating sifter and used my pin pointer to locate the target…there buried in the grass and silt was Daniel’s wife’s lost engagement ring. Daniel was one very very happy husband! Even though they have only been married for three years he assured me they are working on getting along better and finding her ring would go a long way in mending their relationship!

How to Find a Lost Ring in the Yard in Huntsville, Alabama

Contact:

Derrick texted me on Tuesday (April 14, 2026) stating he needed help finding his girlfriend’s (Rachel) rose gold ring with diamonds and a sapphire in Huntsville, AL.  I asked how the ring was lost.  Derrick replied that him and Rachel had gotten into a little argument, she took off the ring and handed it to him, and he tossed it towards the backyard.  This is definitely not the first and won’t be the last ring toss search I’ll receive.  It actually happens way more than people think, and I really appreciate their honesty.  It’s very important having all the fine details, because I can only find something if I’m searching in the right area.  I told Derrick that I’d be more than happy to help and that I could conduct a search when I was off from work on Friday or the weekend.

I met Derrick and Rachel on Friday morning at 9am.  I had Derrick stand in the same spot and do a couple of test throws.  Derrick felt it was just a light toss and Rachel thought he hurled it.  I decided to start searching past the chain link fence in the backyard by where the test rings landed.  Derrick and Rachel moved a trampoline out of the search area and I got to work.  I made a couple of grid line passes and was about to start checking the neighbor’s yard.  I decided to search the small strip of yard before the fence (where Derrick was standing) first, in case it was just a light toss; and sure enough, there was Rachel’s ring!  Woo-hoo, thank you, Lord!  It had only landed about 10 feet away.  Rachel and Derrick were so happy to have the ring back.  They both felt really bad about the toss; but hey, things happen.  We’re all human and sometimes we let emotions get the best of us.  Again, I just really appreciated them being honest with how the ring was lost.

We chatted about some of my prior searches for a few minutes before I headed home.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

Lost Gold Ring Found in Ann Arbor Michigan

The First Bloom of Spring…..Made Their Hearts Sing!

For just about a year Brendan and his wife had no idea where her ring went missing. Their love of milkweed and the pretty flower it produces inspired them to design a custom ring for Diana. While planting some to attract butterflies is when Brendan thinks the ring vanished. Diana was also busy with other tasks on the property, so they really weren’t sure. I started my grid search on the path Diana took from the house to the garden area. Since the property was once a farmhouse from the late 1800’s I started to see many deep iron targets on my MXT metal detector meter which I quickly passed over. Getting a bouncy signal in where the ring signal would be I dug a piece of foil. Rechecking the ground a new signal sounded good. Pinpointing the item, I dug down about an inch and saw what looked like a flower that was happy to see sunlight again! It was Diana’s ring! Texting them to come out, when they got to me, looking in the hole, Diana plucked the ring from the ground. As huge smiles appeared on their faces, I said what an unusual way to sow the seeds of love!

Lost White Gold Wedding in Hillyard Washington…..Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There are not many reasons a husband would forget about his lost wedding ring. However, for Breydon, the new addition to his family caused a three-week pause from the time his wedding ring was lost. Then after that brief hiatus from looking for his ring, Breydon called The Ring Finders to help with the search. Following Breydon into the backyard I spotted two very playful kitty cats. While swinging my detector over the grass where Breydon was performing his workout, the kitty cats were playing and investigating my every move. This was an added distraction to the already challenging ground. The number of targets that lurked below the dirt kept my pin pointer buzzing. Each target mimicked the sound of a lost ring. I must have walked over Breydon’s rings a few times mistaking it for a large signal of buried rubbish. Nevertheless, a Ring Finder is there to uncover all targets to eliminate the possibility of missing the lost item. So, repeating my grid search over that spotty signal, allowed my pin pointer to take a break. The dried grass from Breydon’s mower bag was keeping the ring safe and sound inside of it, until I came along to liberate it from its hiding place. As I handed Breydon his ring back, it ended the three-week long torturing that he was going through. It is truly amazing that we get to be a part of an individual’s life story, and for Breydon, the birth of his daughter received one more happy detail to the already joyous event.

LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM CLASS RING IN DURHAM, NC…..FOUND!!!

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

I received a text from a young man at Duke University. He stated he lost a family heirloom class ring. I told him I’d come out tonight and see if I could find it.

I get there and get the story. He was playing frisbee and threw it awkwardly when he felt the ring fly off but didn’t see where it landed.

I start my search and in about 20 mins I found the lost ring in the area of about where he felt it had to have landed. It was found based on the information provided.

I asked him if he could share the history of the ring.

This is a short story of the ring:

“The ring was from my great uncle’s high school graduation in 1953. He later became an army officer and passed away from his service before I was born (I was named after him).

It was then given to my uncle, who passed away, then to my dad who gave it to my sister, who passed it to me. It’s now been in our family for 73 years.”

I was so glad this one was found and returned! All ring recoveries are important, but the sentimental and heriloom ones are the most rewarding.

Lost White Gold and Diamonds Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This Ring find began when I got a text from Stanley who was on vacation from Irvine, California and staying at the Aulani Resort.  He texted, “Hello my friend.  I need your service. I lost me ring at the Aulani hotel.”  I immediately called and Stanley told me he was standing in 3 feet of water and “It just slide off!”  He was leaving the next morning so I agreed to come first light and hopefully find his ring before they had to depart for the airport.  The pics Stanley provided gave me excellent info to create a grid search.  Facing the lagoon I worked from right to left.  About 5 minutes into the search coming down the wet sand slope I got a booming 49-50 on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Stanley’ stunning ring in the scoop.  I ran back to my car to call Stanley and give him the good news.  We met on Aulani’s boardwalk for the return.  Thank you Brother! was his response and he was obviously relieved to be going home with his ring on his finger.  Thank you Jesus for the perfect timing!

White Gold Diamond Wedding Ring Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Litchfield Beach SC

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

Shortly before 5 p.m. on April 15, 2026, I received a phone call from Amy saying she lost her ring. She described the Wedding Ring, and I told her I could be there in about 55 minutes to an hour. Enroute, I called her to get more details on how and where she lost it. She explained that she had put her ring in the cup holder of her chair so she could apply suntan lotion. When she packed up to leave the beach, she forgot the ring. She said that she didn’t realize it was missing until she got back to her Condo. As I’m driving, she sent me a text asking, “Do you think we can find it?” I responded, “Yes, if you put me in the right area, we’ll find it!”

When I arrived at the gated resort, I had to get Amy on the phone so the gate guard would let me enter. I kept Amy on the phone, and she steered me to where she was waiting. We walked out on the beach, and she showed me a group of sticks stuck in the sand showing about where she had been sitting. Unfortunately, there was a couple just a few feet away and basically sitting in the search area. Amy must have told the couple what was going on, so they were happy to leave. Amy also mentioned that the ring could have fallen out of the cup holder on her way to the access. I started an east/west grid search about where Amy had put the sticks and worked my way out on all sides. Since Amy told me her ring was white gold, I knew the VDI (visual display indicator) was going to be in the 9 to 11 range, or there about. As I moved closer to the access point, I got a solid 11 on the VDI. I looked down and saw a little edge of what appeared to be a white gold piece of metal. I reached down and pulled out Amy’s beautiful ring. She was standing about 20 feet away, near where she had me start, when I held her ring up. She couldn’t believe it was found and just stood there. I think she said, “Is that my ring?” It took her about 2 seconds to close the distance and retrieve her ring. What a smile I got. It’s moments like this that make it all worthwhile!

Amy – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure. All the best to you!

***Grace had put her ring in the pocket of her shorts, while she was at Belmont Shores Bayside beach. This is actually in the city of Long Beach, CA. When she was ready to leave the beach, her ring was not in the shorts. It had to be somewhere in a 30ft x 40ft area of dry sand.

This is what I was told when Grace called me. I drove18 miles to meet her on the back bay beach. The small gold ring was found shortly after I turned on my Minelab Manticore metal detector and started a grid search. She was very happy and relieved after spending several hours searching with four of her friends.

Metal detector rental finds lost engagement ring in bushes, Groveland Florida!

Mrs Lauren was standing in her front yard after sunset enjoying the cool Florida night air when her cat quietly walked up behind her and brushed against the back of her leg and startled her and made her jump. No big deal right? Wrong!! Well it just so happened that she was fiddling with her diamond ring and when she jumped she accidentally flung her ring off to one side and into the thick bushes and heavy mulch. She had a fairly good idea “about” where it went so she got her good flashlight and enlisted the help of her son to try and find it…but the longer they looked the more frustrated and desperate Mrs Lauren became. She had a hand held Nokta Pulse dive scuba detector but that just seemed to beep all the time…picking up the aluminum down spout, yard lights and other metal objects. It was getting late when she found theringfinders.com web site and my number and she decided to give me a call. We made arrangements to meet the next day and after showing me where she was standing it only took…literally… seconds to find the perfect beep that read a #61 on my Deus 2 metal detector and there was Lauren’s lost engagement ring hidden deep in the soft leaves and mulch! What an honor it was to hand her ring back to her and see the relief and joy on her face! Quietly I thanked God for helping me so quickly find and return her lost engagement ring!
How can I help you? Call, text or leave a message and let’s talk!

*** I woke up to see a text that was sent to me at 1 am last night. It was from Annita who had lost a gold diamond wedding ring set at Corona Delmar Beach, Newport Beach, CA.

It was important to get to the location as soon as possible, so I called her at 6:30 am.

She answered sharing that she had been playing volleyball and believed her two rings were near area where she put her back pack.

Annita was about 45miles away and couldn’t get to the location until later. I was able to leave immediately because the landmarks she gave me were very clear. By 7:30 am I had found both wedding rings . We met later that morning to hand Annita her beautiful sentimental rings.
