Lost — Gold Solitare Ring — New Smyrna Beach, FL — FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

My wife and I were on our way home from an evening of admiring Christmas lights in a nearby town, the kind of quiet drive where the glow of decorations lingers in your eyes. Halfway home, she received a text. It was our neighbor, Sheri.  Her text sent a note of worry—her niece had lost a ring somewhere in the backyard.

Myrna told her we’d be back shortly and that I’d give them a call. By the time we pulled into our driveway, I was already shifting gears. I headed into the garage, grabbed my detector, and walked over to Sheri’s house. As I approached, her brother-in-law Bob spotted me and waved, letting me know they’d meet me out back.

In the backyard, I was introduced to Jadah, the young lady who’d lost the ring. She explained she’d been doing cartwheels when it slipped off her finger and vanished into the grass. I asked what the ring was made of, and she showed me its twin—the matching ring from the set. Perfect. I smiled, already hearing its signature in my head.

I powered up the Minelab Manticore and began sweeping the lawn. It didn’t take long. On the second or third pass, I stopped and said confidently, “I have it.”

Jadah dropped to the grass, searching eagerly, but couldn’t spot it. I switched to the pinpointer, moved it slowly through the blades, and there it was—the ring revealed at last. A beautiful piece, catching the light even in the dim evening.

Jadah’s face lit up. “You are magical!” she said.

And just like that, a lost ring was reunited with its very happy owner—another small Christmas miracle, right there in the backyard. ✨

If you’ve lost a ring, keys, or even your phone—whether at the beach or in your backyard—don’t give up hope. Call Detector Ed at 757-419-0299. I’m available day or night. Call or text me as soon as possible—and please, don’t post about it on social media!

Lost Wedding & Engagement Rings at White Plains Beach…FOUND!

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

White Plains surf hunt

This ring find began when I woke up to a text from Brett that said, “Hey Joe, My wife lost both of our wedding rings yesterday at White Plains Beach.  She was looking after my ring whilst I was surfing.  We know the location she was digging in.  Are you able to help?  Sorry for the early morning message.  Included in the text were photos of the rings and where Chloe was digging in the sand with their baby daughter.  Since I was going to Ko Olina for a scuba dive, I figured I could divert to White Plains for the search.  I called Brett and he agreed to meet me there at first light.  Unfortunately, when I arrived it was high tide and pounding the area Chloe was in the sand.  I told Brett to stand on the spot in the pic that Chloe was at and I would detect around him.  As I hunted around the surf was blasting the two of us and it was all we could do to stay on the spot.  My coil was getting twisted on the shaft.  After a few minutes no targets were found and I was thinking the worst possible thing that the tide had consumed the rings.  I asked Brett to step to the right a bit and search the only place I hadn’t done yet.  Boom!  Two targets and Brett had been standing on them the whole time.  I scoop several times and brought up Chloe’s Engagement Ring first.  I gave it to Brett and he secured it away.  It took a bit but I finally found the second target.  A set was coming in and it was all I could do to stay on target.  Finally,  after several scoops Brett’s Gold band was in the scoop.  Brett said something about Being a Legend.  Maybe not that, but I will always give it my best shot.  What made the recovery extra special was Brett’s band was his Grandfather’s.  The day it was lost would have been his 99th birthday in Australia.  The day we found it was his 99th birthday in the USA!  What a special moment for him.  Much Aloha to Chloe & Brett!

LOST HEIRLOOM / 14K ENGAGEMENT GOLD RING LOST IN TAYLORSVILLE, NC……FOUND!!!

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

Received a call today from a young lady who asked about my ring recovery services. After a few mins of going over the details, she agreed she wanted me to come out and try to find her 14k engagement ring.

She lost her ring while doing some yardwork about four months prior to calling me. She provided me her address and said they wouldn’t be home. I advised her I will go and if found, I will put it in a secure location and send her the details.

I drive an hour and forty-five mins to get to her house. Set up my machine to locate the ring in the range it should have been in. VDI 40-65 on the Deus 2. After about an hour I get a VDI 48 and dig down about 2-3 inches and I see the beautiful gold roundness that I had been hoping for!!

After I sent her the pictures to confirm I had found it, she proceeds to tell me that not only had it been lost for 4 months, but it was also her husband’s Great Grandmothers ring!!! 😱😱😱 A priceless family heirloom that means a lot more than just a symbol of their love.

I love what I do, because of happy stories just like this that makes me hate even more the ones I can’t find!

14K Yellow Gold Earring Lost on a Nature Trail, Found and Returned Bird Island NC

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

On Dec 19th, there was a post on a couple of the Sunset Beach NC Face Book pages from Aileen. The post said in part that her son’s (Sean) Girlfriend (Meg), had lost an earring that her mother had given her. That they had been walking on a Nature trail behind the *Kindred Spirit Mailbox, and she is pretty sure it happened when she took her poncho off. The last thing on the post was to contact Meg, via text, with a number.  Aileen also attached a picture of the yellow gold earring. I checked the responses and saw that 3 or 4 people had already referred her to contact me and listed my contact information. So, I didn’t respond and waited to see if I’d get a call. *Kindred Spirit Mailbox is a famous, secluded mailbox on Bird Island, near Sunset Beach NC filled with journals where visitors write their innermost thoughts, secrets and dreams. The mailbox is listed as 1.5 miles from the last beach access on Sunset Beach. I’ve walked it a few times on searches and I honestly think it’s mismarked because it’s taken me close to an hour to get there.

The next afternoon just before 3, I got a text saying, “Hi! I got your number from my boyfriend’s mother. She posted about possibly helping with lost jewelry on sunset beach/bird island. Would you be interested in helping?” A follow up text said, “My name is Meggie. I lost one of my mother’s earrings on the bird island trail. I have a pretty good idea of where. Would love and eternally appreciate the help of a metal detector.” I immediately called Meg for additional details. One of my concerns was the walk down and back from the area. Meg told me that they had E-bikes that we could use; now this could be fun since I’ve never ridden an E-bike before. She told me she’d text me her address and we agreed to meet today, Sunday at noon. After we hung up, I got to thinking about how I was going to carry my detector and drive the bike, so I text Meg back and didn’t get an answer.

This morning about 11 am, I still hadn’t heard from Meg with her address, so I text her again and didn’t get an answer. A short time later I called her and didn’t get an answer, so I left her a voice mail. I started wondering if she had changed her mind or if something else had come up. About 15 minutes before we were supposed to meet, I got a text saying, “Hey Jim, sorry I’m awful with the phone! She also sent me the address.” I responded, “On my way, be there in about 30 minutes.”

When I got there, I got to meet Sean and he gave me a quick lesson on the E-bike, I was excited!! He helped me strap my detector to the bike and I was ready to go. A short time later Meg came out and she was ready as well. Our trip down the beach to the mailbox was perfect and no walking or wrecks on the bike. We got to the start of the trail at 1:11 pm and I tested Meg’s other earring again to make sure I was getting the best signal I could. I took the equinox 800 through all the modes and found that Park 2 gave me the best signal and showed a 1 on the VDI (visual display indicator). The trail looked like it was a game trail that through time and use turned into a wider path with bushes, weeds, and sticker bushes on both sides. As we’re walking, I’m swinging from far left to far right in case the earring was flung off instead of dropping straight down. I was getting a lot of deep signals that were trash but no earring. We got to the “hot zone” where Meg had removed the poncho with no results and made our turn to go back. We got back in the hot zone and I hit a solid 1 with a great signal. Took my pin pointer out and ran it through the small soft sand area and didn’t hit the target. I took my hands and was scooping up small amounts of sand and out popped the earring, BINGO!! I picked it up and handed it back to Meg. What a very happy young lady.

Aileen – Thank you so much for your posts on FB, it helped save the earring.

Meg – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your very special treasure, it was my honor.

Toronto Trifecta Amazing Winter Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

 

It was an awesome morning and one I will not forget anytime soon.

I got a call from a lady who had taken a slip in her driveway and didn’t realize until later that she had lost all three of her rings. By the time she noticed, they were already buried somewhere under snow and ice.I headed out for a first attempt but Mother Nature had other plans. The ground was frozen solid and the snowpack was thick, so after a thorough search we had to wait for better conditions.

A couple of days later, with warmer temperatures and most of the snow finally melted, I went back for round two. That is when the mystery was solved. The rings were not in the driveway at all. They had ended up in the neighbor’s garden, most likely shoveled there when the snow was cleared after her fall.

This recovery felt more like a gold rush than a ring search. I was chipping away at leftover ice with a hammer, feeling like a miner digging for gold. One by one, all three rings were located and recovered.

The relief and excitement on her face said it all. What started as a painful fall and a stressful loss turned into a happy ending and an unforgettable morning. Another great recovery and a reminder that sometimes patience and persistence make all the difference.

Decking his halls with ornaments bright

Steve lost his gold ring in the snow one night

I drove many miles arrived with bells on

Santa came early to search the lawn

Over cold ground like old prophesy

I presented a gift of gold like the Magi

Steve’s face lit up like a Christmas tree

Christmas had come early bringing untold glee

Edgewater Florida Lost gold heirloom ring found by Florida Ring Finder Mike McInroe!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Over 160 years ago Mrs Kelly’s great great grandmother was given a very special thick banded gold wedding ring and for all these years it has been in the family and passed down from one generation to another and Mrs Kelly has been planning on passing it down to her children. Mrs Kelly absolutely loves working in her yard planting flowers and tropical plants of all kinds and a couple of weeks ago she realized her gold heirloom ring was missing from her finger. She normally wears her ring all the time but she recently noticed that it was a little loose fitting and thought of getting it resized. Her dear husband came to the rescue and tried his best to find her lost ring…even going so far as to buy a metal detector and even hired a couple of his workers to do a thorough search of the yard. All the while Mrs Kelly was very upset and troubled that her lost ring could not be found. Then one day a plumber friend suggested getting a professional metal detectorist and that led them to theringfinders.com. After meeting Mr Graig and seeing their back yard I realized that I was in for a tough challenge. I began systematically searching the grass, the bushes, the stones and around each bush beginning from the side and making my way towards the back. As I reached the middle of the back yard I was swinging my coil along a small wall of bricks and my detector gave a small chirp and as I peered over the edge I could just make out a small circle on the mulch. Bending closer I could see that it was Mrs Kelly’s lost ring just lying there waiting to be found. And Oh…was Mr Craig surprised that I actually found his wife’s lost gold heirloom ring!

I always want to give God the credit for helping me find a lost item and for leading me to those particular individuals who need my special and unique service! How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

Mike McInroe…honored to be part of TRFers!

Winter losses can feel hopeless, especially after losing a ring in the snow.
Ring Finders South Jersey recently received another call about a lost wedding band.
This was the second lost ring in the snow call this winter.
The homeowner was located in Marmora, New Jersey.
He believed the ring slipped off during backyard yard work.

Snow covered the ground and made searching extremely difficult.
A lost ring in the snow can disappear within seconds.
Cold weather often causes fingers to shrink without notice.
That small change causes rings to slide off easily.
This situation happens more often than most people realize.

Ring Finders South Jersey arrived shortly after receiving the call.
Fast response time is critical for lost ring recovery.
Fresh snow means fewer disturbances to the search area.
The backyard was carefully scanned using professional metal detecting equipment.
Every sweep was slow and methodical.

Within a short time, the detector gave a strong signal.
Moments later, the lost wedding band was uncovered beneath the snow.
Relief replaced panic almost instantly for the homeowner.
Finding a lost ring in the snow brings powerful emotions.
This ring held deep personal and sentimental value.

Many people assume snow makes recovery impossible.
That belief often prevents people from making the call.
Professional metal detecting works extremely well in snowy conditions.
Snow actually helps preserve the search area.
The key is acting quickly.

Ring Finders South Jersey specializes in lost ring recovery.
Backyards are one of the most common loss locations.
Yard work, shoveling, and winter cleanup create perfect loss conditions.
A lost ring in the snow does not mean the ring is gone forever.

This Marmora recovery proves that again.
Quick action led to a fast and successful outcome.
Another wedding band was safely returned to its owner.
Ring Finders South Jersey remains ready for the next call.
