Lost and Found: A Wedding Band’s Journey Beneath the Waters of Georgian Bay, Honey Harbour, Ontario

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

In the shimmering expanse of Georgian Bay, just beyond the picturesque shores of Honey Harbour, Ontario, a unique challenge unfolded. A distraught couple Julie and Richard reached out, their wedding band—a symbol of their eternal bond was lost beneath the waters near Bone Island. As an experienced underwater metal Detectorist, I took on the task, armed with my Dive BLU3 Nomad battery operated air supply system and my trusted Minelab Excalibur II, a state-of-the-art underwater metal detector designed for depths and adverse conditions. The stakes were high: retrieving this irreplaceable memento required precision, patience, and skill.

Descending into the murky depths, the visibility was immediately disorienting—zero clarity at 20 feet below the surface meant relying entirely on touch, sound, and technique. Employing a custom circular gridding method, I navigated the silt-covered lakebed systematically, creating overlapping arcs to ensure no area was overlooked. The Minelab Excalibur II emitted faint, telltale signals, its advanced frequency design cutting through the ambient noise of the aquatic environment. Each pass brought a renewed sense of hope, though the conditions remained arduous.

Time seemed suspended underwater, every vibration through the detector a potential breakthrough. After what felt like an eternity, the detector’s tone sharpened—a clear indication of metal beneath layers of sediment. Carefully brushing away the debris, my hand emerged with the glint of gold: the missing wedding band, a circle unbroken even amidst the challenges of the deep.

Surfacing with the ring in hand, I was met with the joyous relief of the waiting couple alongside other boaters in their party. The journey had been arduous, yet it underscored the power of dedication and technology in service of human connection. Georgian Bay had relinquished its treasure, and the couple’s bond was symbolically restored, proving that even in the depths of uncertainty, persistence can illuminate the way.

Surfacing with the ring in hand was a moment of triumph, but it was made even more meaningful by Julie and Richard’s heartfelt gratitude. I want to sincerely thank them for trusting me with the important task of recovering their lost wedding band, a symbol of their enduring love. Their faith in my skills and techniques was deeply humbling, and their generous gift was a kindness that I will always remember. It was an honor to play a part in reuniting them with something so special, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of their story.

How to find a lost ring in the snow – Manhasset, NY

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Snowball Fight, Expensive Ring Lost… and Found!

Christmas snowball fights are all fun and games—until someone loses a Cartier Panthère ring in the backyard! That’s exactly what happened to Chloe while she was tossing snowballs with (and at!) her cousin on Christmas Day.

Chloe and her dad, Jack, spent three days braving the cold, searching high and low in the snow for her stunning 18K yellow gold ring, but it was nowhere to be found. That’s when Jack decided to call in some reinforcements—me!

On December 27, I arrived, ready to turn their snowy backyard into a treasure map. With a little patience and the help of my trusty metal detector, we struck gold (literally) in just 30 minutes!

The moment we found it, the joy and relief on their faces said it all. Chloe got her beautiful Cartier Panthère ring back, and the snowball fight story gained a happy ending everyone will remember for years to come.

Moral of the story? Snowball fights are better without losing jewelry, but if you do, The Ring Finders are here to help!

Lost Ring found in Mays Landing NJ by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

Lost a ring?

Don’t wait to call!

The day after Christmas, I received a call that would turn into one of those moments that remind you why you do what you do. Guy had lost his gold ring – not just any ring, but one he’d worn faithfully for half a century. The story of its disappearance was painfully simple: while tending to his Christmas Day fire pit, the cold had caused the ring to slip from his pinky finger, where he’d placed it because his usual finger was swollen.

The backyard had become an accidental treasure map. Somewhere between the fire pit and the scattered woodpiles, beneath a blanket of winter leaves, lay fifty years of memories in a ring of gold and coral.

I started methodically, sweeping my metal detector along the path Guy had taken to the first woodpile. Nothing. But treasure hunting is often about patience and persistence. Moving to the second pile of firewood, my detector sang out with that sweet, promising tone that makes every searcher’s heart skip a beat.

There it was, nestled among the logs – a gleaming circle of gold that had witnessed five decades of Guy’s life. The smile that spread across his face when I held it up was awesome to see!

Guy left a review:

“Like, not even 15min and John found my ring. We just traced my afternoon steps and located the ring under a pile of wood and oak leaves. Probably never would’ve have found it on my own. John is professional and a gentleman.”

Gold & Multi Diamond Ring Lost at Christmas, Found in West Kelowna

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Danielle was visiting her Parents in West Kelowna over the Christmas Period. Two days before Christmas, before she entered her parents house she shook her hands to get the rain off, as she did she she felt her 14k multi diamond ring come of by a tree. They all spent three days searching for it, to no avail. Dec 26th she found my services on Google, and gave me a call. I had time before dinner so I responded right away, Danielle found me on Google, however it took 45 minutes to find their location as Google was out of date. Danielle showed me the location by the tree, not sure if it bounced off the tree or not. It did bounce off and landed in the long grass around the tree, which made it an easy search for a Metal Detector. Her Happy Christmas was restored.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band at Fort Kamehameha Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Amanda who lives on Hickam AFB with her family.  Amanda found me on the Ring Finders!  So, earlier this morning as she applied sun tan lotion she removed her white gold wedding band and placed it on a beach chair for safe keeping.  At some point it went missing from there and when I arrived I could see finger raking marks in the sand where they had searched.  A few people on the beach were somewhat in the area and they kindly moved their gear so I could hunt without interference.  After firing up the Manticore I detected a steel pipe running all the way through the search area so I was happy when the first target a piece of aluminum came through strongly.  I started on the high side and worked low.  A few more junk targets and then I got a nice shallow #15 on the VDI and I told Amanda, “this sounds real good.”  Sure enough their was the white gold wedding band in the scoop.  Early Christmas present!  Aloha to Amanda!

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Paradise Cove Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

Paradise Cove 121924 MOV_0780

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Liz saying that Aloha Security told her I might be able to locate her Mom’s Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring in shallow water at Paradise Cove Beach.  I told her I had a hunt in Waikiki I had to finish up and then I would head right over to Paradise Cove.  When I got to Paradise Cove Liz’s mom Debbie, from NYC, was waiting at the lagoon to show me the area to hunt.  She told me she was throwing a football with her grandchildren and when she reached to catch the football her engagement ring flew off into shallow water.  I walked out to the furtherest distance Debbie was and started a grid search back towards shore.  On about the third leg I got a nice 27-32 hit on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Debbie’s amazing ring in the scoop.  She was so thankful and I think she was about to cry.  Many people had looked for her but it was buried.  Another vacation saved!  Aloha to Debbie and Family!

I received a call from Erik asking if I was available to help in finding a ring lost in the sand at the beach. I was, and let him know that I could be there soon. We arranged to meet there so he could show me where to look.

When I arrived I met Erik and his girlfriend Rowan, and they explained that Rowan had removed her jewelry in order to go out in the surf, but when getting ready put her jewelry back on, she found that one of her rings was missing. She told me how the ring had been in the family for numerous generations, and was given to her by her mother, so the sentimentality of the ring was strong. She said she was on vacation from Vermont, and was fearful the ring would be lost forever. I could see in the sand their search area, and began my search at the edge of it. I received a couple of signals, but the items were so small they fell through the scoop. Then right in the middle of their search area I received a strong signal, dug, and had Rowan’s ring. I called them over to let them know it was found, and she was very happy to know she would be able to go back home with her family treasure.

Ring Lost In Little Manatee State Park, Recovered By SRARC


Lost something important? We can HELP! Our services are FREE! Donations to the Club are accepted. We will send a team of metal detector experts to search virtually any location. Some of the most common are parks, beaches, creeks and even your own backyard. If you have lost your ring or any other precious item, “Don’t Wait – Call Now.”

Lee and Keith were out for a walk along the fence line to Little Manatee State Park close to Wimauma. A bee started to buzz around Lee’s head and she whipped her kerchief out of her pocket to swat it away and then realized that her rings had been stored for safe keeping in the kerchief. She heard to clunks as the ring flew across the fence and hit the brush on the other side. She and Keith climbed over the park fence to search and were able to find one of the rings. Later that night Lee came back with a flashlight hoping to find the reflection of the diamonds on the other ring. As she looked she noticed a reflection but on closer inspection it turned out to be a wolf spiders eyes and after shining the light around she spotted many more of them. About that time a park ranger came along and kindly informed Lee that she was not allowed in the park at that time of day and would need to come back through the official entry during the parks open hours. Almost a year later (the ring was lost last February) Lee found SRARC ring finders and contacted the club. Mike Miller made arrangements with the park ranger and a hunt was arranged for the following week. Mike and Joe Szemer met Lee and a ranger and were taken to the location. In about 5 minutes, Joe said “Hey Mike I got it”. Both Lee and the ranger were in disbelief but had great big smiles on their faces. Lee gave them both a big hug and was extremely happy. We always love it when our hunt is a success and the lost item is returned.

Taylor contacted me about the loss of her husband’s wedding ring. She had been with him at a volleyball event the day before at the beach. He took the ring off to go in the water, and left it with the beach stuff. When they got ready to go Taylor picked everything up forgetting the ring was there, and the ring was gone in the sand. They looked for as long as they could without any luck. When she called she let me know she would not be able to meet me there, but was able to give me directions as to where to look. I went as soon as possible.

When I arrived at the beach, I was able by the map, and photos to figure where to begin my search. I also noticed that the beach cleaning machines had gone through, but not all the way into the area I was going to search. I began a tight grid going just into where the machines had been. Back and forth, back and forth, and not finding much. After about 20 minutes I began to find some tinfoil, and bottle caps, so I figured I had found the area where they had been the day before. Then right at the edge of the County clean zone I got a solid signal, dug, and found the ring. I sent Taylor a picture, and she confirmed it was her husband’s ring. We met later that day at a local Starbucks to make the return, and she was very happy to have it back.
