Lost gold & amethyst ring, FOUND! By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Jordan. Jordan explained that she was enjoying a day at the beach with her family. Jordan decided to wade into the water but took off her rings and was in the process of handing them to her dad when they slipped from his grip and fell into the water. The rings immediately disappeared. Jordan and both of her parents began frantically searching but repeatedly came up empty-handed. That’s when a neighboring beachgoer handed Jordan one of my cards. I took the short ride over from home and met up with the family on the beach less than 15 minutes later after gathering the backstory I found Jordan‘s mother standing in the water, right where the rings dropped. I proceeded into the water and on the first swing, got a low growl tone. After a couple scoops of sand, I had Jordan‘s ring back in my scoop.  Jordan‘s mother explained that this Ring was passed down to Jordan through the family over the years, so even though it was small in size, it had a tremendous amount of sentimental value attached to it. Another happy family another successful recovery!

Lost Diamond Ring – Dauphin Island

 

 

Last night I received a text from Vickey that said, “Do you still look for rings?”

Well… yes ma’am. I certainly do.

Earlier that day, she had lost her engagement ring of more than 50 years while enjoying a family beach day on Dauphin Island. Thinking it would be safer tucked away in the beach bag than on her finger, she had placed it inside. At some point, her daughter hurriedly dug through the bag looking for a towel, and somewhere in the process the treasured ring disappeared.

We arranged to meet at the beach this afternoon. When I arrived, Vickey had marked the area near a large stick stuck in the sand where she believed they had been sitting. I carefully gridded the entire area—nothing. She thought maybe they had been further back, so we expanded the search farther back from the water. Still nothing.

After nearly an hour, Vickey and her family had to leave for home. I told her I’d stay a little longer and keep trying.

Before continuing, I looked one more time at a photo she had texted me from their beach day. The sand near the water looked flatter than where we had been looking. She also had mentioned they were using a beach wagon, and standing there on the beach, I also noticed faint wagon tracks—but they were on the opposite side of the marker stick from where we’d been searching.

On a hunch, I shifted my search grid about 15 feet.

Within minutes, I found a few freshly dropped coins—two nickels and a dime. That’s often a good sign that I’m finally in the right area. Then came a beautiful, solid tone. Before I even scooped the sand, I caught a glimpse of gold peeking through.

There it was.

Vickey’s engagement ring.

I immediately called her and asked, “How far away are you?” Thankfully, they hadn’t made it very far and turned around right away. About ten minutes later, I had the privilege of slipping her treasured ring back onto her finger where it belongs.

Moments like these are exactly why I love doing lost ring recoveries. It’s never just about finding a piece of jewelry—it’s about returning decades of memories, love, and family history.

Another happy ending on Dauphin Island, and another reminder that sometimes persistence, a little detective work, and a lot of prayer are the perfect combination.

If you’ve lost a ring in the Mobile, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, or Dauphin Island area, don’t give up. Many rings can be recovered—even when all hope seems lost.

Buckhorn State Park Ring Fished Out of Lake

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

I received a text message from George on Monday, July 6th with the following: “Hey Jeff, I lost my wedding ring this past weekend in the lake playing with a beach ball…can you come and look for it?” The lake he is referring to is Castle Rock Lake. Buckhorn State Park is uniquely situated on a large peninsula that juts out into Castle Lake.  It is an artificial lake on the Wisconsin River and is the 4th largest in our beautiful state. It is known for its hiking and swimming, sandy beaches, pontoon rentals, tubing at Sandy Shores, and live music at waterfront restaurants.

George and his son Ben, who made the journey with him, ventured 3 ½ hours from the Chicago metro area, in the very early hours of Tuesday morning, July 7th to meet at the park entrance. George was very concerned about finding his wedding ring.

George was very clear with instructions to me where he lost his ring playing with the beach ball. In short order, the ring was recovered and placed back on his finger. George was more than ecstatic that his ring was found. He will be celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary this fall with his beautiful bride and would have been crushed if the ring had not been recovered. We wish him and his bride the best for the next twenty years.

 

 

My Last Recovery For About A Month, Sea Gull Beach, Cape Cod, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 8, 2026

I was prepped for a month without detecting for a lost item. My bag was packed for the trip to the hospital and with a cup of coffee, and the 6:30 news about over and I was relaxed. Not to be, the phone rang and a distressed caller told me how he and a few friends from his wedding party, just 22 hours before he was left on the beach to FIND HIS RING. As you can guess his wife was not too pleased with her husband. Now I am only theorizing on just how that might have gone.

I remembered the one time I “lost” my ring. I did not tell my wife as I was sure I left it in my tool box at work. With “helpful” suggestions such as “just buy one on the way home, your wife will never know. Well 11AM I could not anguish over it any more, I called home to “find out” if anything was found around the house…silence…did you loose something like a wedding band. 59 years married and we still can laugh over that.

I told Mark of another Ring Findger that probably could come from the end of the Cape to help him out of his situation. And I hung up. the phone. When I went to put the scratch paper away it hit me, Sea Gull beach was only 5 minutes from my house. I immediately called Mark back and said I would be there in 5 minutes.

Well seven minutes and I was at the beach, drew a 5X5 foot square area in the sand. The area looked more like the crators on the moon. Yes, the wedding party had the right idea, the right location but not the correct equipment. All their searching only cause the ring to sink down into the sand by a good 8 inches. One minute later and I was headed home and told my wife not to let me go out again, until I healed and got the OK from my doctor, hopefully on July 20th.

Cape Cod, Yarmouth, MA Ring Finder Found Lost Cartier Love Bracelet and Returns it

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 3, 2026

The 4th was nearing, the temperatures, both air and water, were on the rise as were the crowds on Cape Cod beaches. I was taking an Ice Tea break from chores that needed doing around the house when the phone rang. The caller, Megan, told me of a lost, very sentimental, bracelet in waist deep water and the tide was coming in. I had no choice but to go immediately and I did.

I arrived at the beach and was told of 14 coins dropped around the area where the loss occurred. I did not waste much time in the usual chat before I begin searching. I had the area pointed out, and the coins to help me zero in on the exact area to search. Over an hour of searching and I started having doubt in my detector and the area I been shown as I had not found a single coin. It had to be a faulting detector. I made a quick dash back to the car for my back-up detector. Another half hour and still no coin, the tide had crested and now was on its way out. The family crowd nearing twenty began packing up and heading home for dinner.

I was determined to find the coins dropped and the bracelet. I had been shown a matching bracelet and I knew the coins were quarters. How could I be missing that many targets? It had to be the area was further off shore than I had been told. Just before Megan left I found a quarter. I now had to stay for the tide to recede and I did. Another half hour and I had half the coins, Thinking I had located another I took a scoop and there it was the gold Cartier Love Brace and a quarter so I thought. A quarter, yes, but no bracelet. How could it have gotten out of the scoop, was I imagining seeing the bracelet? After 4 hours of getting beat by the waves my mind probably was playing a trick on me. I took another scan of the area at my feet there was another target and there it was the bracelet, but only a half a golden circle. Had I broken it in half while scooping for the target? How was I going to tell Megan? Where was the other half?

While I was continuing my search, now in chin deep water, a mother and two young children returned to the beach bringing me a Thank You note and a box of sweets for my efforts. But I was not going to leave the target area I was in until I had the other balf of the bracelet and it paid off. Two more quarters and the other half of the bracelet was retrieved and safely resting in my goody pouch. Persistence and a lower tide was all it took to almost complete the story. But first a few details of the bracelets history that Megan sent to me. Read on and you will learn why I am so persistent and one of the World Wide Group TheRingFinders.com.

Rick!

Engagement ring found at Port Crescent State Park in Michigan.

I got a call from a lady saying that she lost her engagement ring in Lake Huron at Crescent State Park in Michigan. My daughter and I traveled 2 1/2 hours to meet the couple.

Mike had been playing volleyball at the beach with friends when his wedding ring came off and disappeared in the sand. He was wondering if I would be able to help, and I let him know that I would leave immediately to come and help

When I got to the area, we found each other, and Mike took me over to the area of the loss. He explained to me what he had done to create the loss, so I started my search. Just a few minutes later, I had his ring, and he was just overjoyed to have it back. To see such joy really makes this service fun.

Lindsay lost her earring while playing volleyball at the beach. I let her know I would be right over to help her in the search.

I got there, and she showed me where she had been playing. It was a very small earring, so I changed the program on my detector to find very small items, and began my search. After about 10 minutes of searching a very clean patch of sand, I received a solid signal, dug, and found the earring, which she was happy to have back.
