Chalker Beach Old Saybrook CT, Lost Gold Baby ring returned 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

July 5, 2025, Chalker beach Old Saybrook , CT. Bryan and his family were enjoying a beach day on a crowded beach when he realized that his gold chain holding his sentimental gold baby ring had opened. Somewhere in the area it had fallen into the sand, it could have been near his chairs or along a circuitous path he had walked between several other beach goers. Word quickly spread about the lost ring. A friend of mine at the beach mentioned that I might be around to help since I am known in the beach community as the lost jewelry recovery person. I have lived at the beach for twenty years and have helped others find their lost jewelry. Amazingly I had just gotten back home from Bluff Point State Park beach in Groton for a wedding ring recovery. I was at the beach within 5 minutes. we scoped out the area where his blanket, umbrella and chairs had been set up and I started detecting. We had to move the chairs because of the interferences and when nothing was found I asked him to walk the path where he noticed it was missing. A few feet into the path I had a reasonable signal but had interference from nearby chairs. The people kindly moved a few and I brought out the pin pointer and got a great signal. A few sweeps of the pin pointer and I saw the glint of a tiny gold ring.  I smiled and said we had found it. The beach crowd that was watching the events unfold exploded in shouts of joy. He looked at me stunned and then realized it was now found and gave me a great big hug. I asked for some pictures, and everyone then left the beach with smiles. Glory to St Anthony and to God for their divine help. Miracles do happen.

Bluff Point State Park Groton CT Men’s Wedding band returned 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

July 5, 2025 Lauren and her husband wanted to go to Bluff Point state park on the fourth of July to watch the fireworks display. They decided to go for a swim and Lauren felt her wedding rings getting loose from the cold water and decided to go back to shore to leave them on the blanket. her husband took his ring off at the same time and while handing it to her it dropped into the ocean at about chest level. Lauren quickly searched for best options and considered buying a detector but realized that an underwater detector would be very expensive and being an engineer knew that there would be a learning curve. She then started internet searches for what to do about lost rings and that led her to theringfinders,com she called the two people listed and when I answered she entrusted me with coming to look for it and I was there within a half hour. I knew the tide was an important factor and raced to be there before it changed. I did not realize it was going to be a three-mile walk to get to the secluded beach spot. But she had marked the location beautifully with a driftwood log. When we arrived, there was a family sitting there and we asked if e could share the spot as a base for the recovery. Lauren described the circumstances from the previous night and I jumped into the water and began the search. Within minutes I had a sweet signal and lifted my first scoop. The signal was still strong and in the hole. A second scoop and the signal disappeared, and I knew it was in my scoop. I walked to shore and dumped the scoop and then used my trusty pin pointer to isolate the ring. I called her over and had her lift the ring from the sand and then the tears of joy started to flow with an exclamation “I can’t believe it!!” The nearby family joined in the celebration and were shocked. We then took some pictures and made a video reenactment to share with her family. I thought it was so nice that Lauren had also packed us sandwiches for a treat. She called her husband at work and shared the good news and was still in stunned and in awe that we found it so quickly. Funny thing she said she was going to bring a kitchen colander and start scooping the sand if I had not been able to come and find it. That may have taken quite a while, so she was happy that I had agreed to come so quickly. She had been told by others that it was probably a lost cause, so this made her that much happier with my finding it. Our prayers to Saint Anthony were answered glory to God.

Recently, while wrapping up a ring recovery at Silverstrand Beach, I received a text from Bob in Santa Barbara. He had lost his wedding ring while doing yard work in his backyard. After two days of searching with no luck, Bob’s wife suggested professional help. A quick search led them to Dave The Ringfinder on TheRingFinders.com.
We met at 9 AM in Bob’s Santa Barbara backyard. He walked me through the area where he’d been pulling weeds, suspecting the ring slipped off during the task. I began gridding the large lawn with my Minelab Manticore. Halfway through, my attention was drawn to a spot where Bob had tossed weeds. He’d already searched there, even pulling out plants, but found nothing. Trusting my instincts, I scanned the area and got a strong 49-50 TID signal. Expecting trash, I was surprised when my pinpointer beeped, and as I moved the dirt, a gold ring emerged! Bob had unknowingly stepped on his ring, burying it in the dirt while searching.
Thanks to Dave The Ringfinder and a bit of intuition, another ring was recovered!

Lost Ring Found in the woods

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

This nice lady lost her beautiful wedding ring in the woods across the street from her home. But she wasn’t sure where. I searched using a detector with a small coil so I could check in weeds, brush and around trees. It took about an hour to find it in some weeds it fell into, out of sight, next to a pine tree. The detector was telling me right where it was but I couldn’t see it. It had fallen down to soil level in a tight clump of weeds. She couldn’t believe I found if. I wa happy too because it could have been anywhere. It was quite different from a beach search.

Ring found two weeks after lost

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Found this ring while looking for another. Asked around and heard of a fellow who lost a ring about two week before. Was able to get his name and contact him for a return. He sent me a picture of his lost ring and that is indeed the one I found. Ring was mailed back to him. Some times we just get lucky.

Men’s Gold Wedding Band Lost While Swimming in Booneville, MS… FOUND!

I received a call and text on Sunday (June 22nd, 2025) afternoon from Taylor stating he lost his wedding band while swimming in a pond on his family’s property in Booneville, Mississippi.  I was traveling for work training during the week and told Taylor that I would give him a call after I de-planed.  Taylor told me that he felt his wedding band slip off his finger in about 3-4 feet of water when he was about 10-15 yards from the shoreline.  He was helping his kids out of the deeper end.  I told him that I didn’t get back to Huntsville, AL until Friday, but I would be more than happy to conduct a search on the weekend.  We setup a 9am meetup time on Saturday, June 28th.

I met Taylor in Booneville after a beautiful drive 2 hour and 15-minute drive through the Alabama and Mississippi countryside.  He helped me take my water detecting gear down to the pond.  I got in the water and had Taylor direct me to where he thought his ring came off.  I put in my marker pole and went back to the shoreline for my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil and long handled Xtreme scoop.  Taylor went inside the house and I started searching in the water.

On my walk out to the marker pole I found a penny.  Then, when I was about 1-2 feet from the pole on the left side I received a nice sounding tone on my Nox.  It took about 5 tries until I could get the target in my scoop, because the water was up to my chin and I was slightly buoyant from my wetsuit bottoms.  The pond bottom was a soft mud.  Once I confirmed that I had the item in my scoop, I walked over to the shallow end to shake out the mud.  I soon saw a gold ring glimmering back up at me — we had Taylor’s wedding band!  I took out the ring just as Taylor’s mother-in-law, Jenny and Taylor’s wife, Brooke we’re walking outside.  Taylor followed behind.  I held it up for them to see and we all cheered!  I looked up to the sky and said, “thank you, God!”

I walked to the shoreline to hand Taylor his ring and the family dog, Loki was there to greet me and celebrate.  Taylor and his family were so grateful for the help and told me how much it meant to them.  Taylor and Brooke had just gotten married on November 16th.  I told them that helping others and seeing the joyful reactions is the reason why I do this.  I give God all the glory.

Taylor invited me in for some coffee and Jenny offered some delicious homemade breakfast – biscuits and gravy (what I wanted all week lol), eggs, and a porkchop.  I graciously accepted.  Jenny’s husband, Darryl had just arrived home and we all enjoyed a nice conversation.  We then said our good-byes and I was back on the road headed home to Huntsville.  Until the next one… please take care and God bless!

Sara’s engagement ring recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Sara was vacationing at Ft. Walton Beach Florida when she lost her wedding rings. She was able to find the wedding band but not the engagement ring. She had returned home to Illinois when she called asking if I could find her lost ring. She sent me an aerial with an outline of the area she lost it and a photo of her engagement ring. The next morning i searched the area and found her ring within 8 or 10 feet of where she predicted but was 5 or 6 inches deep. The next day Sara and I did a face time call with the folks at my local UPS store and sent her ring home secure, insured and with in person delivery. Sara was very happy her ring is back where it belongs!

Lost platinum engagement ring, recovered, Lake Wawasee, IN

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Earl called a couple days ago from the lake, after his fiancé had lost her platinum engagement ring while at the sandbar. I asvised him to mark the location via map apps, take several pictures of shoreline (homes, piers, etc) to allow lining up land marks and also try to get a distant object if possible, to add accuracy to lining up with a nearby landmark or roof ridge etc. Also told him to toss out several coins if he had any available, as any other marker would be taken by others. I had to work, so couldn’t go out that same day to search. Was somewhat worried a local pirate may find the ring prior to recovery search. Got out today, used gps pin to anchor, used distant cell tower and near flagpole to get the exact line the coins would be in. I turned detector on, dug one target and dumped that in the floating sifter, couldn’t see any ring. Scooped the next target and saw a nice ring in the scoop, less than two minutes in. Told him I found it and he was amazed, as was I, but just goes to show, his diligence in taking the advice paid off to get it recovered. Smiles all around, ring back where it belongs.

Lost Yellow Gold, Moss Agate & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Battery Hawkins Beach HickamAFB…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Taylor which read, “I’m in need of a ring finder!  My husband lost my ring at the beach on Hickam AFB.”  I immediately called and Taylor told me the story how her and her husband were spending the day at the beach with their dogs and after putting her Yellow Gold, Moss Agate & Diamonds Engagement Ring in a beach bag she discovered at the end of the day when they got back to their vehicle, the ring was no longer in the beach bag.  The dogs had pulled over a beach chair the bag was on a few times and they believed it may have fallen out then.  They purchased a metal detector at a local store and all of you detectorists know they don’t perfom very well.  They only found trash targets.  We agreed to meet in 30 minutes at the beach.  When we got to the spot a family was occupying the area but graciously moved their chairs & items so I could hunt.  I fired up the Manticore and my first target was solid.  After several scoops I looked in the scoop and saw a gorgeous ring but Taylor told me she thought the ring was white gold.  But in fact this was her ring.  Everyone was so shocked how quickly I was able to recover Taylor’s ring.  Taylor’s husband Alan was no longer in the “doghouse” so to speak.  Aloha to Taylor & Alan!
