Super Nice Ring Set Recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Sue lost her wedding ring set at Gulf Shores a couple day before calling me for help. She didn’t know where to go and it took a day or so to find someone who could help. I told her i would be there first thing in the morning. I met her where she and the family were staying and we walked to the beach area she thinks it was lost. She wasn’t sure how it was lost, where it might be or if it was even on the beach but felt hopefully it was on the beach. She talked about the day it was lost and her activities and locations. The house and car had been searched and it wasn’t there, so logicly it must on the way to the beach or somewhere on the beach. She showed me the various places they were on the beach and the routes to and from those various places. With that information I put together a search plan and proceeded. After about 30 minutes and after digging several other targets I got a very good signal and knew i found something good. I dug it and showed it to Sue who shouted you found it! She was very, very happily. I’m glad I found it for her, it made both our days.

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

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

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.

Salty Brine State beach, Narragansett , Rhode Island ,2 diamond gold wedding and engagement rings, returned 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

July 4, 2025, Ambar a lifelong Rhode Islander never takes her jewelry off at the beach. While playing football with her sons at the water’s edge got hit by a wave that washed her diamond gold wedding and engagement rings off her fingers and disappeared into the ocean. she reached out to a friend of mine Gary who is a local ring finder but was on vacation and he recommended me. We often work as a team and cover and help each other as needed. She called me that night and I was there at 6am before the holiday beach crowds started arriving at the beach. She met me there with her brother-in-law and we walked to the spot on the beach where they had been playing. Considering there was a pretty bad storm that suddenly passed through the area over night I started a gridded search of the area and immediately got a great signal at the water’s edge just as the tide was coming in. I scooped up the target and brought it up to her and with the aid of my pin pointer I saw the glint of gold and diamonds in the sand and handed her the engagement ring. One found was a very good sign, I knew the other had to be close to the first one. The incoming tides and wave action was making things a bit more difficult. I was getting a lot of interference and false signals. After calibrating my machine, I got a weaker but still a solid target signal. I scooped up signal and laid it down next to her.  A few seconds later using the pin pointer a diamond wedding band was now popping out of the sand. It took only about ten minutes to get both rings back on her fingers. It actually took me an hour to get there but it was worth every minute to see how happy I made her feel.  Her brother-in-law was stunned and could not believe I was able to recover them. He then took my phone and started taking pictures of the happy occasion. As we were leaving, she excitedly was telling all the incoming beach goers waiting in long lines of our success. I called Gary to thank him for the referral and together as a team we brought the rings back home. Thanks to St Anthony and praise God we were successful. Miracles do happen and have faith and never give up hope. we see miracles every day.

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

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 Gold Ring with Diamonds Found in Livonia Michigan

Sparklers in the Grass…..

As Amanda was starting to celebrate today, she started by taking a plunge into a cool pool. Shortly after a volleyball game started. After splashing around a bit, she got out, got dressed and wandered around the yard with some sparklers, the children and dogs. Sitting for a bite to eat a friend noticed her ring missing. Quite a few people ran to the pool, but the missing ring was not there. I started my grid search on the side of the yard where she had been. My MXT metal detector was quiet but then I heard a loud BOOM in the headphones! I yelled out that fireworks just sounded in my headphones! As Amanda and friends came running, I parted the grass and revealed some pretty sparklers in the form of diamonds and a gold ring hiding in the grass! Amanda was thrilled and took a few minutes to catch her breath. Now the fuse was lit to a grand celebration!

Lost and found gold wedding ring in Cobourg Ontario

Contact:

Received a phone call from Parshant late last evening. He and his brother and family had spent the day at Cobourg beach when disaster struck. While playing volleyball in the water, he felt and saw his 22k gold wedding band fly off his finger while hitting the ball. After a frantic search for over an hour, they manage to find me via the Ringfinder’s website. I gathered all the required equipment and headed to Cobourg beach. The issue was that they couldn’t quite remember exactly where the ring had fallen off and ended up with a very large search area. After searching for over an hour and a half, it was now dark. I decided to come back the following morning for a fresh start. As this beach is heavily hunted by metal detectorists, and following a long weekend with Canada day festivities, I had to find this ring ASAP. Using grid markers along the shore, I was able to grid the area properly and within thirty minutes, I finally was able to scoop the ring out of the water and return it to its rightful owner this evening. Another happy ending and beautiful day at the beach. Life is good.

Huge gold chain lost and found in Apsley Ontario

Contact:

Received a text from Lou yesterday about him having lost his gold chain while swimming. Lou, and his young family, had rented a cottage near Apsley on Chandos lake. While playing with the kids, he did a few dives off the dock only to realize later that his huge gold chain was no longer around his neck. After arriving early this morning and getting situated, I got in the water and went to work with my Excalibur II under water metal detector. After eliminating a few trash signals, I heard the sweet tone of gold and found his chain within ten minutes. Although the chain is very valuable due to the size and weight, it is priceless as it was given to him by his grandmother. Another happy ending.

Lost – Silver Spanish Coin Relic Pendant, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

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

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

I was just leaving the beach when I got a call from a good friend.  He had a recovery that he couldn’t do because he was traveling.  I pulled over and ask God to help me find the item.  Minutes later, I got a call from Bill.  He said his son, Tanner, had lost a silver Spanish coin pendant while wrestling with a friend in the surf.

I met Bill and his wife Renee about 15 minutes later at the scene of the crime.  We prayed on the beach to find the missing treasure.  Another detectorist, who just happened to be there, and I made pass after pass in the incoming water. (That I was not set up or dressed for).  After some time of fighting the water, we decided to let the incoming tide pass and come back a few hours before low tide.

When I arrived, I knelt and prayed.  The conditions were much better, and I was set up for a water search if need be.  I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began gridding while Bill used a Nakta Triple Score.  The entire family came with Bill this time, so I asked Tanner a barrage of questions about the location he lost it.  He was quite sure about the place where it fell, so I decided to grid perpendicular to my first search, in the same area.

A little more that half-way through the grid I got a great hit and I suspected it was the pendant.  I dug three scoops and the shiny silver coin revealed itself.  Praise the Lord!

Happy, Happy beautiful family.  Happy Father’s Day Bill!

Lost White Gold Ring w/Diamonds Found in Elizabeth Park, Trenton Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Slippery Slope…..

…..Only a month into their engagement, Billy and his fiancée wanted to take a few pictures in beautiful Elizabeth Park. The park boasts of gorgeous scenery and picturesque bridges spanning small water channel off the Detroit River. The park also was a spot for a few war of 1812 skirmishes and has been quite attractive to relic hunters over the years. Arriving at the park they were welcomed by a brief rainstorm. After parking, as they descended a grass slope towards a bridge, she slipped on the grass and tumbled to the bottom. Regaining composure, they made it to the bridge. After a few pics they came back towards the car on a flatter route. At the car she discovered her ring missing. Being familiar with the park I knew where the young couple had this mishap. Using my MXT metal detector I started halfway between the slope and bridge. Grid searching carefully as I got near the bridge, I got a great signal. Reaching down with my hand-held pin pointer revealed her ring! I shouted out to Billy who was about 100 feet away still combing the slope. He ran towards me and was amazed that the ring was there! Billy agreed that the recovery helps sets the stage for their marriage being able to handle any type of terrain.
