Beautiful 2 Kt Diamond Engagement Ring Lost & Found, New Silver Beach, Falmouth, MA

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

30 August 2025.  Sometimes you’re lucky.  I received a call from Philip, who’d been referred to me by my RingFinder friend Rick.  He told me that Jen had lost her 2 kt oval diamond engagement ring in the dry sand where they were sitting and asked if I could come with a metal detector to find it.  I of course said yes and arrived at the beach 15 minutes later.  As (good!) luck would have it, they had found the ring just as I arrived, so all was well.

Jen described how the ring went flying off her finger as she was putting on sunscreen.  The ring disappeared in the fine sand, which is not unusual, and it can be very difficult if not impossible to recover with just finger sifting if you’re not certain where it landed.  A dry-sand loss, however, is a lucky situation because a metal detector, when used by a trained eye/ear, can make recovery quick and easy if the location of the loss is reasonably constrained.   It becomes much more difficult with a loss in the water, where tides, wind & waves, rocks, shifting sand, and location uncertainty can greatly complicate a search.

I snapped some pictures of Jen and her ring and we expressed thanks all around, particularly that that beautiful diamond was back on her finger.  A lucky day!

Lost Drum Key in Skaha Lake…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

If you’ve lost your ring or any jewelry, car keys, cell phones, Call ASAP 24/7  Service- Chris 778-838-3463

Taking a break up in the Okanogan and Detecting some beautiful lakes, I happen to be at Skaha Lake when a young man came up to me and asked me if my metal detector could find a stainless steel key. I replied yes and got him to tell me the story about this particular key that was lost in waste deep water two weeks ago.

He told me it was a drum key and that he owned it for 40 years and used it to tune up his drums at his events/gigs.

I thought maybe somebody had already found it because these beaches get detected a lot, I told him to show me the exact area where he believed it was lost and I’d take a look…within five minutes he had his drum key back. Not your typical diamond engagement ring or wedding band, but for him this was very sentimental. He was a professional drummer, and this was like losing a ring for him.

I could tell how happy he was to get it back. I love my job. Sometimes it’s just serendipity how we come in contact with people, he lived across the street and he’d been looking for the last couple weeks every day in hope that he might find it. I happened to be at that beach at the same he was there… Timing is everything!

 

I love my Job!

Dennis, MA Lost Ring in Sand Found and Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 29, 2025 Debbie and her husband were out house hunting. My home was on the market and the Open House sign attracted them. While touring the home they noticed my metal detector and struck up a conversation with my realtor about my water detecting prowess. Little did they know the knowledge of my hobby would be beneficial to them within a few days when Debbie saw her wedding band slip from her finger into the beach sand as she was applying sunscreen lotion.

The smart idea of marking the area with shells and a few small rocks after hand searching the sand would be of help in locating the area the next day. A better marker media would have been anything metal i.e. coins or soda cans. Debbie had paced of the distance from a wooden structure to the point of loss. At home they called Tom, my realtor, for my contact information. Jack had to leave a voice message which Tom later played back to me over the phone. I took the information and called Jack. I had to leave a message on Jack’s phone as he did not answer. A bit later Debbie called me and we set up a 6:30AM meeting on the beach.

I arrived a bit early just as the beach sweeper went by, grooming the beach for the holiday weekend crowd. With my new VX9 detector, on its first search, in one hand and my scoop in the other, I looked for the land marks but they had been swept away. I took what information I had, started to pace off 35 feet but that would have put me in the water, somethings never go well. I had been on the beach for less than five minutes when Debbie and her girlfriend showed up. After a bit of an introduction and pointing to the area, Debbie started to pace off the 35 feet. I watched as she paced the 35 feet by putting the heal of one foot to toes of the other, repeating it 35 times. I followed, detecting the sand as I went. About five feet (60”) from where Debbie’s 35 “feet” ended and even closer to my last drag mark in the sand I had my second signal of the morning. A quick scoop and my searching was finished.

“Lets go back to the car so I can get more information.” Looking puzzled, I had to tell Debbie to look into my scoop. Yes the ring was the second target and the ring was in my scoop. All in less than a minute! Debbie and her friend Lynn were told I was good at finding a lost ring, but this morning I was great. But Debbie had one more up on me when she said she had a cup of coffee for me in the car. I often mentioned my thirst for coffee but no one had ever had a cup ready for me.

At the car we talked and the recent happenings just continued to amaze us. Jack and I are both retired sailors and worked with submarines during our tours of duty. This year is Debbie and Jacks 30th anniversary. She had lived on Cape Cod and I live here now. I could not convince her that she and Jack should buy my house, it was meant to be – not. If the house was smaller – maybe. At least all is well and Debbie has her ring back for the upcoming anniversary. What a wonderful way to have at the start of another day on Vacation Land.

Lost Tungsten Ring in the Sand Found in Westland Michigan

A Fist Pump Serve…..

….was all Dennis could hope for as he spiked the ball down to score the winning point on the volleyball court as darkness fell upon the game. With a successful win the players congratulated one another with high 5’s and danced around on the court. After Dennis got home he noticed his ring missing. Rushing back to the court he looked around in the dark with no luck. On site he showed me what went on. I had 3 places the ring could be. Either side of the court or the opposite side of the court out in the thick grass. I elected to start in the area he was standing when the final serve was given. My MXT metal detector was wanting to score but gave no signals until I was right under the net. A very nice signal came thru. Pushing thru the sand with my pin-pointer metal detector revealed his ring! Dennis was totally surprised that the ring was there and felt even more victorious that this meeting at the net scored another memorable victory of a different kind that will last a lifetime.

Lost Men’s Wedding Band found in the Northland!

  • from Saint Joseph (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

Jacob called me last Saturday about his wedding band he lost at Park North of the River in Kansas City, MO. He had taken his daughter to the park to play at the playground.
He had previously put his ring in his pocket and as he walked up the hill to the playground he took his key fob out to make sure his car was locked and apparently the ring came out as well. He happened to check his pocket while his daughter was playing and called me shortly after searching for it for a while. I met him at the park and followed the path that he said he took up the hill and located it about 30 feet from the gate. I love to see the smiles after I find a lost item, it not only makes them happy, but me as well.

Lost and found diamond wedding ring Cobourg Ontario

Contact:

Received a text last evening from Terry about him loosing his Diamond wedding band while at Cobourg beach yesterday afternoon. While wrestling with his son, in waist deep water, he felt his ring slip off his finger. We decided to meet at the beach right away to find his ring and not wait til the following day as there are many detectorists looking for lost jewelry, especially after a weekend. Terry was pretty sure he could get me within a 20×20 feet area where the ring had slipped off. Unfortunately, the beach and water looks quite different in total darkness. After an hour or so of gridding the area, took a break and Terry infoed me he had to get back home for work the next day. I decided to stay and keep looking. Another hour into the hunt, and after jewelry targets including a ring, I finally found his beautiful ring. I drove to his home and returned his ring. He was extremely happy and very emotional to be reunited with his ring. Another great recovery. Life is good!!!

White Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a husband, (Ben), saying his wife lost her wedding ring in the front yard and that they had tried finding it with a metal detector, but had not located it. They had a very large front yard, but had marked off an area they thought it would be, because he had to run the mower. The area he thought it would be had not been cut. The temperatures those days were at the 95 degree range and I was in the full sun with no relief from any shade. The first day I spent around 4-5 hours finding nothing but surface items that sounded like a ring, small pieces of foil. I had completely covered the entire area he thought it would be. I was spent from the heat, so I came back the next day and expanded the search area. After around 4 hours I was well outside of the original search area by around 60 feet or so and I got a consistent 17 on my Manticore and it seemed to be on the surface because of the double beep. I had found it, but there was a problem. It was in the area that had been mowed and had been damaged from being run over with the mower tire. The band had been bent, had a small stone missing, and the main setting stone was loose. So as soon as I could I put it in a small zip lock bag so if anything else came loose it would not get lost.

Gold promise ring lost in the grass, found and returned to owner, Orlando, Florida!

James called me and asked if I could help him find a very special ring that he had given to his very special lady friend! As sometimes happens in life, people get upset about something that is said or done and we tend to react and say or do things that we later regret. (I thing we all have been there…right?). Well, this very special ring was thrown out of a truck window while sitting at a stop light. James immediately realized the severity of his action and he pulled into the gas station parking lot and began searching for the ring. It was a yellow gold ring with small diamonds and a very small size and even though the grass had been recently cut they could not find the lost thrown ring. James even got his own metal detector from home and they used it to search for a couple of hours but only found pull tabs and small pieces of aluminum. Then he found my number on line and we made arrangements to meet later on that same day. After showing me the 50 square foot area that he was “almost 100% sure” that was where the ring landed…I got my metal detector out and started to carefully grid search the small area. Along most all roads and sidewalks there is the usual trash items and this area was littered with small pieces of aluminum from the numerous soda cans that were shredded by the lawn mowers over the years. I went slowly and investigated each signal that sounded even close to what a small gold ring would respond like. After 20 minutes of careful searching I decided to expand the search area and about 10 feet further up the sidewalk I got a smooth, solid, repeatable signal that proved to be exactly what I was looking for! James was in tears when I handed him his ring and the relief and happiness were evident by his big smile!

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP @ 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!
