Luna called. She had lost her promise ring right at the water’s edge at the beach the day before, and was wondering if I could help her. I let her know that I would meet her there at her earliest convenience, so we arranged a time to meet.

I got to the beach, and found Luna very quickly because there were very few people there. There were a couple of areas, and a stretch sand to cover. I searched each spot she showed me, and then worked on the stretch of sand. I made pass after pass finding a few trash metal pieces, and then got a nice faint signal in the head phones. I put my scoop in, and pulled out a delicate small ring which turned out to be the one we were looking for. She was very happy to have it back.

Lost wedding ring search in Lexington, NC

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

If you have lost a ring or any other jewelry and need a Metal Detecting service to help you recover it, give me a call or text. Brad (336) 793-5698. Its important that you contact as soon as possible. I have a Metal Detecting service and can come out and help you find your lost item.

I received a call from Barry whom explained he had a long shot assignment. Few years prior, he and wife had traveled and to be safe she hid her ring in the home for safe keeping. Following return from their travels wife realized that her ring could not be found. They searched the home for a long time and are of the belief that it could have been vacuumed. Their home has a central vacuum system and Barry said he always empties the canister in a garden area and asked if I would assist in metal detecting the garden area. I advised I would be glad to assist upon my return from being out of town.

Upon my return I contacted Barry and coordinated a time to meet with him Sunday afternoon ahead of approaching bad weather. Upon arrival Barry walked me to the garden area (approximately size of a football field) and pointed out the area that he dumps the canister. I grid searched finding only old ammunition casings and square nails 3 to 5 inches below the surface. After searching and sunset approaching we jointly agreed that although not finding the missing ring we had successfully eliminated the garden as a the rings location.

In my previous life I was an electrician and have installed many central vacuum systems and asked Barry “if” the piping between the connection points to the canister rose or dropped to the canister. He advised they were lower but the run of piping did rise at one point. I suggested that he make what electricians refer to as a rat (Conduit Piston) and let it travel from the connection point to the cannister by turning on the vacuum to pull it. The ring could be trapped inside the pipe and the rat may push the ring to the cannister. I also explained it worked like the pneumatic tubes at many drive up teller windows at banks. Barry was very thankful for the suggestion and advised he would let me know of the results.

Few weeks later I read a post of another ring finder having found a ring lost in a similar manner. This prompted me to contact Barry and share the article [ Link to Article ].

Unfortunately the ring has not been recovered as of this writing. I would like to encourage anyone losing jewelry to reach out to a professional as quickly as possible for assistance but mainly to emphasize we Ring Finders are always glad to assist in any way we can.

Again, if this has happened to you, whether it’s a ring, Watch, necklace, on the beach, in the water or in your backyard give us a call.

iPhone Recovery Lake Simcoe Barrie Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

We received a message from a young lady who had accidentally dropped her phone into the lake while she was at work. She works at a Seadoo rental shop, and during the busy day she was fueling up the machines when her phone slipped from her hand, went over the edge, and disappeared straight to the bottom before she could react.

She was incredibly worried because the phone held messages from loved ones that could not be replaced. Losing the device meant losing memories that mattered deeply to her. We agreed to help right away.

She brought us out to the location on the Seadoos themselves. Once we reached the spot, we took a moment to get oriented and then went in for a quick dive. The water was murky, but after a short search we spotted the phone resting on the bottom.

When we surfaced with it in hand, the relief on her face said everything. It was another exciting recovery, and one that meant far more than just saving a phone.

Lost Wedding Ring Found Sherkston Beach Ontario Canada Lake Erie

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

It started with a call from a very upset young lady. She asked if we could help her find a recently lost engagement ring. It is a story we hear far too often. She had placed the ring in the side pocket of a beach chair to keep it safe, but by the end of the day she forgot it was there. While walking back to the parking area, it slipped out somewhere along a long stretch of sand, about three to four hundred feet.

She and her family searched for hours, going over the same ground again and again, hoping to catch even the smallest glint of gold. By the time we arrived, she was almost ready to give up completely.

We began our grid search and slowly worked our way along the path. After what felt like a long time with no luck, we decided to make one last attempt before calling it for the night. That final pass turned out to be the one that mattered. The detector signaled, we dug down, and there it was. Her engagement ring, safely recovered.

She was at work when we called her with the news, and the moment she heard the words she could not hold back the tears of joy. Another great recovery and another special memory saved.

Sauble Beach Ring Recovery Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

We received a text message from a client who had lost his wedding ring on Friday. It was now Sunday, and he reached out hoping there was still a chance to recover it. He was not able to meet us at the beach because he lived quite far from the area, and to be honest, it seemed like he was not fully convinced the ring could be found after two days had passed.

He sent us a couple of photos showing where they had been sitting on the beach and gave a description of the area where they had been swimming. With daylight fading fast, we headed straight to the location. It was getting dark, and we knew we did not have much time to work before the light was completely gone.

After a short time we got a strong signal. We dug it up and discovered a ring, but there was one problem. It did not match the description he had given us. We kept going, working the search pattern carefully and hoping we had not missed anything.

Just before we ran out of light, the detector hit again. This time when we looked down, we knew instantly it was the right one. We called him right away, and he could hardly believe that we had actually found it after all that time.

Another recovery and another very happy client.

Port Elgin Gold Ring Recovery Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

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)

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)

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)

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.
