Port Elgin Gold Ring Recovery Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We left early in the morning, heading toward Port Elgin after receiving a call from a very kind gentleman. He asked if we would be willing to make the drive to help recover his wedding ring. You could hear the stress in his voice because he was devastated that it had slipped off while he was swimming a few days earlier.

He explained that he had been out deeper than he probably should have been when he felt the ring slide from his finger. He tried desperately to search for it, but the water was rough, the waves were picking up, and he eventually became worried about how tired he was getting. He had no choice but to head back in, fearing the ring was gone forever.

A couple of days later, after searching online for help, he found Ring Finders and reached out to us with hope still lingering.

When we arrived at the beach, we asked him to join us in the water since the spot was quite far out. We walked together through the waves until he pointed out the general area where it had happened. Once he headed back to shore, we set up our grid and began the search.

The depth, the current, and the distance made it a challenge, but after a short time, the unmistakable signal came through. When we pulled the ring from the lake bottom, shining despite the sand and water, we knew we had another successful recovery.

Seeing the relief and joy on his face made the long drive and early start worth every moment. Another memory returned and another story to remember.

Gold Necklace Found Port Elgin Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We had left early in the morning for a ring recovery in Port Elgin. It was a four-hour drive before we finally reached the beach, geared up, and headed straight into the water. The search took some time, but we were successful in locating the ring—another happy ending, just like in the other story.

As we were climbing out of the water afterward, tired but feeling good about the recovery, we were approached by another couple who had been at the beach a few days earlier. The gentleman explained that he had lost his gold necklace during their visit. It had slipped off somewhere out in the water, and after days of looking on their own they had almost given up hope.

Even though we had already been in the water for hours, we went back out and set up a proper grid search. The conditions weren’t easy, and the necklace could have been anywhere, but we kept working the pattern one careful sweep at a time. Nearly an hour passed before the signal finally came through. When we pulled the necklace up from the sand and held it out, the look on their faces said everything. There was so much relief and excitement that it instantly made the long day and all the effort worth it.

Another recovery, another memory, and another reminder that these items mean far more than the metal they’re made of.

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring near Coeur d’Alene Idaho….Found!!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There was a quick and heavy snow fall that gripped the Coeur d’Alene region, last Tuesday. The roads were impacted; the houses were blanketed and the cars that were left out had been fully covered. This was bad news for Brad. The family had to leave the house soon. Before starting his truck, the driver’s side door had to be cleared. The top of the door always dumps snow into the cab if it’s not removed. After getting the snow off the car he had to clean his hands. With a quick flick the snow shot off his hands. But with the snows icy grip, it stole his ring from his finger. The quick theft that happened on his ring finger sent a cooled chill into his hand. Brad’s brain knew right away that the slippery hand of snow had struck, and his ring was gone. The search began for Brad’s ring instantly. The snow was deep, and it was dark out. So, Brad knew he had to get a metal detector. He was able to rent one and after only finding iron, he returned the detector.  While at the rental shop the clerk told Brad about “A Group” that uses metal detectors. That group, Brad found out, was called The Ring Finders.  So, Brad’s wife Alissa called me and made arrangements for me to come out the next day. After greetings and handshakes, I walked over to the side yard and spoke to Brad about the action that he did to lose his ring. He showed me the flicking motion he did with his hand and where the ring could have landed. I started searching and right away I got a signal and bent down and found a piece of wire. Then moved on down the side of the grass. As I came back, I got the same signal right where I found the wire. So, I pinpointed and dug through the grass until the ring popped out. The ring had buried itself so deep in the grass, that it wasn’t visible by eye and the wire hid it from the metal detector.  I was able to get that sneaky ring back to Brad very quickly.  Thank you, Brad and Alissa, for trusting The Ring Finders. Merry Christmas.

Lost Pendant Found Bay Beach – Fort Erie Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We were at Bay Beach finishing up a few recovery services when a group of young men approached us. They looked worried, and one of them stepped forward to explain what had happened. While they had been wrestling around in the shallow water, his necklace had suddenly snapped and disappeared beneath the waves. This wasn’t just any necklace. It had belonged to his late father, and the pendant was something he carried with him every day as a reminder of him. Losing it hit him hard, and you could see the panic in his eyes as he talked.

He pointed out the stretch of water where it happened. Even though it was shallow, the waves constantly shifted the sand, making it easy for something small and precious to vanish instantly. We grabbed our gear and stepped into the water, determined to help.

The search began slowly and carefully. The detector hummed as we swept back and forth, inching along the bottom. The young men stood watching from the shoreline, their excitement replaced with quiet worry. It was clear how much this necklace meant to their friend. Every time the detector signaled, everyone leaned forward, hoping it would be the right one. Most of the signals turned out to be bottle caps, small bits of metal and lake debris.

After several minutes of searching, the detector gave a sharp, solid tone. We fanned the sand and the pendant was right in front of us.. The moment we held it up, the mood changed instantly.

The young man’s face lit up with pure relief. He rushed over, thanking us again and again. His friends cheered, clapping him on the back and laughing with that kind of happiness that only comes from getting something truly important back. It felt like the whole beach shared the moment for a second.

Seeing how much that necklace meant to him made the recovery feel incredibly rewarding. Bay Beach gave us another unforgettable memory that day, and we left knowing we had helped return not just an item, but a piece of someone’s heart.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Lake Erie – Crystal Beach Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It was a beautiful afternoon at Crystal Beach when a very worried woman approached us. She explained that her ring had slipped off somewhere in the water while she was swimming. This was not just any ring. It was a gift from her husband who was back home in India, and losing it left her completely heartbroken. She could barely speak without tearing up as she pointed out the general area where she thought it might have fallen.

We headed into the water right away. The waves were gentle, but the shifting sand underneath made the search challenging. We began a slow, careful grid pattern with the detector, moving inch by inch through waist deep water. Every signal mattered, and each time the detector buzzed, we hoped it would be the ring. Instead, we pulled up bottle caps, bits of metal and other small scraps buried beneath the sand. The woman stood anxiously on the shoreline, watching every move and hoping for a miracle.

After nearly an hour of searching, the detector gave a clean, solid tone, the kind that instantly makes you stop and focus. We scooped beneath the sand and lifted the scoop out of the water. As the water drained away, something small and bright glimmered in the sunlight. It was the ring.

When we held it up, the woman gasped and covered her face with both hands. Then she ran into the water, laughing and crying at the same time. Everyone nearby started cheering and smiling. The relief on her face was unforgettable. She kept saying how grateful she was and how much the ring meant to her, especially with her husband being so far away.

It was one of those moments that reminds you why helping people recover their lost items is so special. A tiny piece of jewelry, found beneath the shifting sand and waves, brought so much joy back to someone’s day. Crystal Beach will always feel a little more magical because of that search.

Metal Detector finds a lost ring in a snowbank in Minneapolis Mn.

A Ring Lost in a Minneapolis Snowbank, Recovered by The Ring Finders
Ring Finder  Paul Nolan received a call that was referred to me by Darrin Gray, another Ring Finder who was unable to assist at the time. The call came from a very distraught woman visiting Minneapolis from Nevada. One thing that’s not needed very often in Las Vegas is a snow scraper and brush. While here, they encountered a light snowfall on their parked car in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. When they returned to their car, they needed to clean the windows. Without a brush, they used their hands to sweep off the snow. But no good deed goes unpunished, and a very sentimental ring was lost somewhere in the snow. This sparked a frantic search, including the purchase of a couple of metal detectors. They hunted for the next three hours without success. That’s when they realized they needed to call in someone with more expertise in locating lost rings. I happened to be relaxing when the phone rang. You could hear the tremble in her voice—this was a panic-stricken person who’d lost a deeply sentimental item and desperately needed help finding it. I told her I’d be downtown in about 45 minutes. Before long, we connected by phone, and I found myself following her car. We circled the block and pulled over on the side of a main thoroughfare in Minneapolis. There was slush everywhere on the road. We got out, surveyed the area, and I started the hunt. I cleared the road and the parking area along it—nothing. I checked the snow pile created by the snowplow—nothing on the roadside. I was concerned about a car parked nearby; maybe the ring was underneath it. I pressed on to the sidewalk, scanning the sidewalk side of the snowplow windrow. Suddenly, I got a target. I started moving some snow with my boot, but then I lost the signal. Where did it go? It was right here. I kept trying to recover the signal, but it was gone. I’d kicked an ice chunk, and I may have kicked the ring too, because about three feet away, I picked up the target again. I nudged a little snow aside with my metal detector, and something sparkled. I spotted it at the same time the women did. The happiness, the relief—the fear of losing the ring was over, and everything fell back into order in their lives. What a beautiful ring it was! I am so happy for them and now a part of the history of her ring.

Lost diamond stud ear ring, Orlando Florida…found by metal detectorist!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:


David’s wife was dropping their young daughter off at school and as she bent down to give her a kiss her diamond stud ear ring got tangled up in her daughter’s hair! It dropped somewhere either into the grass or onto her daughter’s backpack or on the sidewalk. After a frantic search someone suggested she call one of The Ring Finders! I met David and conducted an extensive search but my metal detector only picked up lots of small pieces of aluminum and a ton of small trash items. My last look over the sidewalk revealed where her lost diamond stud ear ring was hiding…and it was in one of the joints of the sidewalk and it was almost impossible to see! But thankfully it was found and returned to a very grateful young couple. I breathed a silent prayer of thanksgiving as I drove home!

Olivia called letting me know she had lost a bracelet in the sand at a private beach club while at a party the night before. There had been a lot of activity at the party, so she was unaware the bracelet was gone until later that night. We arranged a time to do the search, and she obtained permission for me to come and help her.

She took me to the area of the loss when I arrived, and showed me where she believed the bracelet might be. It was a good sized area that would have to be meticulously gone over with my detector. I worked a tight grid making sure I covered every inch of sand, but not find the bracelet. I then began to expand the search area when I got a good signal, dug, and had her bracelet. She was happy to have it back, and it made for a very productive day.

When Lucy called saying she had lost her earring on a State campus, I made sure she understood that she would have to get permission for me to come and do a search there. She told me that she had already taken care of that issue, so I left right away.

Lucy took me to the area of the loss which happened to be between two dorms, and behind one of them. I began my search in a fine grid pattern, pass by pass. Fortunately there was not a lot of metal in the grass, so the search wasn’t slowed down by constant stopping to check. I did the whole area between the buildings with no earring, then began on the area behind the dorm. As I was going along the edge of the sidewalk I got the silver tone I was looking for, pulled the pin pointer out, and found the earring. Lucy was surprised it ended up there, but was happy to have it back because the pair were a gift to her.
