Lost Wedding Ring in the sand Found at Broad Beach Malibu

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

If you’ve lost a ring, pendant, bracelet, or necklace in the sand at Broad Beach in Malibu, don’t waste time renting a metal detector. Instead, contact Malibu Metal Detector Expert, Dave MacDonald of Ventura County Ringfinders, at 805-290-5009. We’ll quickly set up an appointment to help you recover your valuable jewelry!

This morning, I received a call from Lauren, who was visiting Los Angeles from Chicago and had spent the previous day enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family. Before going for a swim, she wisely removed her wedding ring and placed it in the cup holder of a beach chair, fearing it might slip off in the water. However, as often happens, the chair was moved, and the ring went flying into the sand. Despite hours of searching on their hands and knees, they couldn’t locate the ring.

I met Lauren’s husband, Daniel, at the entrance to the beach path, and we headed down to the area where they believed the ring might be. Using my Minelab Manticore, an ideal tool for ring recovery, I methodically gridded the area. After expanding my search, I got a strong signal just inches from the high tide line. With a quick scoop, the ring was back in its rightful place.

 

Metal Detector Rental, Recover Lost Cross, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jersey shore ring finder ring finder south jersey On a nice hot day Anton and his family were enjoying the day on at beach. This can be some of the most sought after relaxation one could ask for after a long day at work. And while people are on the beach there are many things they will do like , swimming, running, relaxing, picnicking, throwing footballs, volley ball, wrestling, etc. OH NO did I say wrestling ? That’s when things went wrong for Anton. In one of the 3 areas he was wrestling around that day his cherished cross was pulled from his necklace and lost in the sand.  They searched for a few hours, even with their metal detector, without any luck. That’s when Nicole decided to give me a call to see if I was available to locate the cross. I met them on the beach a little while later and they showed me everything that transpired up to realizing the cross was missing. I started in the most likely spot and within a few moments I had his cross in my scoop. Another fantastic ending to a great day on the Jersey Shore.

Lost gold wedding ring recovered, Wall Lake, Orland Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

While searching for another lost gold ring for a guy, a neighbor lady mentioned that her husband had lost his gold wedding ring a couple years ago, out from their pier, while handing items from boat to boat. She said divers had searched for the ring, but no luck, it’s very weedy and a muck bottom area.
After findng many pull rings, lead sinkers, beer cans, foil balls and fishing lures, I got a clean sounding target that was also quite a trick to scoop up, due to the thick snaggy weeds. After about 5 tries, the target sound was no more, so I checked the scoop and long behold, a nice thick men’s gold band was in there.
Trudged over and let the lady know I had likely found her husband’s lost ring. Handed it over and sure enough, that was it and they were shocked that I had found it.

Lost gold wedding ring recovered, Wall Lake, Orland Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Jude contacted me after losing his gold wedding ring that he’s been wearing for 37 years. He was visiting family at their lake cottage and playing volleyball in the water. Upon hitting the ball, his wedding band went missing. He thought it had fallen down near where he was standing. He contacted me, we made the arrangements for the search promptly.
The depth was from waist to chest deep, some weedy areas and the bottom had a thin layer of muck that clouds up quickly.
Searched and searched, round and round, trudged through the weeds, to no avail. I was sure the ring had went flying elsewhere, but Jude was confident it was near where he stood. I tried to expand my search zone, but it didn’t seem like that went over too well, so I kept over on the area he was thinking. AFter a long while, maybe a couple hours, I called it off and mentioned I’d maybe try again when I get by the area, so I could search further out, etc. He said that’d be no problem and I was on my way home to go to work soon after.
Decided to do some tests the next day. Went through the motions of hitting a volleyball, had a ring with some colored string tied to it, and measured the distance in paces. An average distance of 13-20 of my 3ft paces was constant.
Return trip, brought a hunting buddy and we started searching. AFter doing battle with more weeds, many other metallic targets, I moved into more shallow water and got a solid signal, about 18 paces from where Jude was when he lost the ring.
Bingo, potentially his ring, a nice gold band in the scoop with writing and some fancy on the outer part. But, another guy said he had lost a gold band there 20 years ago, so had to confirm with Jude if it was or wasn’t his. Thankfully upon texting, it was quickly confirmed, that “Lindy” was part of the inner engravings. Mission accomplished. Next-Day shipped it back to him in NC.

3 Lost Gold rings Recovered from the water, Lake Maxinkuckee, Culver, Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)



Betsie messaged me late last night in regards to her 3 lost rings. She was playing catch with her son in the water, it was almost dark out. She said that as she was catching the football, she realized her rings had fallen off, in chest deep water. Her and her son frantically searched for the rings, with no luck finding any. She mentioned her son felt guilty, because they were playing catch and she had lost them doing so. Which made finding them even more important to me.
We made arrangements, although I had to work until 6am, I agreed to meet her at the location as early as I was able to. She showed me where they thought they were and I began searching. This spot is mostly target free, as it gets detected often, which was a concern, that someone else may get to them first.
After seraching the zone for like 20 minutes and seeing some craters, I was worried that maybe someone else had got them. I moved shallower than she described, did a pass and got a nice signal. ALso, had another signal near that, so likely it was the culprits. Gazing down at my search coil, I could see the edge of a ring, so I plucked that one with the scoop, then scooped the other. The second scoop was the main wedding ring, thankfully. Two down, one to go. Got another target signal just a foot away and scooped the wedding band ring also. The 3 rings all nice and close together made for a simple triple recovery today. She was thrilled and her husband likely was too.

Lost ring or jewelry in the Montevallo, Pelham, or surrounding Alabama area??

  • from Montevallo (Alabama, United States)

Hey there my name is Jon. I have been detecting on and off for about 15 years (the last 6 years continuously). I recently came across The Ring Finders while searching for the owner of a ring I had found in a park near me. In that moment it only seemed fitting that I join and offer my assistance to others who have lost their rings, jewelry, or other items. I have always found joy in helping others and hope to continue that through The Ring Finders.

Yarmouth, MA Wedding Band Lost and Found. 2 Years Later It Is Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 21, 2024

Well this return is my first of its kind a One in a Million chance, DONE!

Some two years ago Andrew was vacationing at one of my home town’s resorts. He was having a wonderful time playing ball, swimming, sunning and enjoying Vacation Land. All was a perfect vacation until his wedding band slipped from his finger. And as I told hundreds of vacationers that have asked for my detecting expertise help, what ever is lost is almost always still there. But you may not know just where that spot is. You will know where the spot is that you realize that you have lost the object. And the sooner I can start searching the better my chances are of finding it.

Fortunately my may success stories are gaining popularity and word is spreading along the shores of Cape Cod as is TheRindFinders.com web site. At one point this summer Andrew and his wife read some the postings and contacted me with a far out question about Andrew’s lost wedding band. It was lost at a South Yarmouth resort on June 21st/22nd 2021, any possibility you could look for it?

Knowing the area is well detected over by both vacationers and locals including myself, I knew it would be a fruitless endeavor to search for it. Also I could look at my records and ask other detectorists if they might have Andrew’s ring. My records showed that I had found such a ring after the time that Andrew had lost his ring. Now, how to verify that it was his ring. Pictures were sent back and forth and one with no inscription inside “Looked like that is the ONE! OK, I’ll send it to you, if it is yours it will be amazing. If not you can send it back.

On June 28th the ring was in the mail. One problem on my side is that the credit card machines at the post office were down, Cash Only. My luck I did not have cash enough to pay for the tracking option. I have send many rings through the mail with no problem…so away it went. Several texts back and forth about it not being received, we had almost given up hope – it must be lost in the mail. Then on July 20 a text I received read: “Envelope just showed up! It’s his ring!!! I can’t believe it!” Neither could I. All I can say is “It was meant to be”

Kevin contacted me about 12:00 midnight after having lost his wedding ring earlier in the day. When he told me where he lost it, I told him it would be best to go right away, because this area is detected like clockwork by other treasure hunters. He agreed, and we both rushed to the area.

We were there by about 12:30 AM. He got there just before me, and sent a text telling me that another detector was searching the area, and he would try to keep him from the spot. As I walked down I saw the other guy moving into the area where Kevin was standing, so I went right over. I let the other guy know why I was there, and he didn’t seem too happy as he kept searching the same area. We got to where we actually bumped coils a couple of times, but I kept to my search plan after Kevin showed me where to look. A couple more swings of the coil, a dip of the scoop, and I had Kevin’s ring which I promptly handed back to him, and then we both left the spot to the other guy. I know Kevin appreciated the fact that I was not afraid to stand my ground when it came to helping him, and I was glad to do it. He told me he had searched so hard earlier crawling on his hands and knees, that his knees had become raw, and was so surprised at how quickly the recovery was made. We made it by the skin of our teeth with just minutes to spare, and I was so happy to have made Kevin’s day.

How to find a lost cross with Metal Detector, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

What would 4 young men do after their Stockton State College track meet, that’s right, go to the beach to have some fun and cool down in the pristine Jersey Shore Ocean waters. Just prior to going into the water, Brendan removed his cherished cross and chain, and clasped it around the loop on his hat for safe keeping. After they got out of the water, it was placed back around his neck, and just a few moments later, his friend noticed the cross was missing. Luckily his friend Jackson had told his mom Brenda, who was very familiar with NJ Ring Finder stories, from some of the local pages. Brendan, Jackson, and Luke had searched for quite a while without any luck, and that’s when the call came in to me for HELP. I arrived on the Lavallette beach just a short while later, got all the details and searched the entire spot without any luck. After they assured me it must be right there, I turned my metal detectors sensitivity almost as high as it would go, and on the first pass I received a very faint but steady signal, which was in fact, Brendan’s beautiful cross. Another happy ending to a fantastic beach day.
