Lost White Gold Wedding Ring in Ponderay Lake….Found!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

A Memorial Day vacation for Constantine and Silvana was winding down. All the fun filled activities planned for that weekend were almost completed. However, Constantine had one last challenge to attempt. He and his buddy wanted to do a cold plunge in the frigid waters of the Ponderay lake. Gritting his teeth as the cold-water bit into his feet, Constantine stepped quickly onto his paddle board. Then Constantine paddled out into about seven feet of water. After a few encouraging words from his family, he dove into the murky green water. As Constanine kicked off the board, the board floated quickly away from him. The shock of the ice-cold water gave Constantine a boost of energy, so he swam quickly to retrieve his board. Reaching for the edge of the paddle board, the wedding ring he was wearing left his finger and sank quickly into the lake. There was a video taken of Constanine during his cold plunge experiment. This gave me the confidence I needed when I showed up to search for his lost ring. I was told that the video showed him with and without the ring. Also, I got a forewarning for the ice-cold water. So, I brought all of my cold-water gear. The first few steps into the water gripped my ankles as the water made its way into my dive boots. The rest of my suit kept out the cold fingers of the winter snow runoff water. There was a distinct L shape Constanine made, while swimming around. I started at the very end of that L and made my way to where Constanine had jumped off and then climbed back onto the board. Each passing second seemed like an eternity to Silvana as she watched me searching. Silvana was probably playing the wedding over and over in her head because they had just gotten married two months before. The new wedding ring that Constanine had just started wearing, already held a lot of memories and sentiment to the both of them. At the very moment when hope was fading as I came close to the end of the L shape, I saw a very round shape sitting in the rocks. My first attempt to pick the ring up with the scoop failed. The water was just a little too deep, because as I tried to dive down, the buoyancy of my suit shot me back up to the surface. After failing twice, I collected myself and yelled to the crowd watching, “I found It!”. Their cheers put me back into the mindset I needed. My scoop was to my left sitting motionless. I grabbed it and went at the ring again. This time the ring fell gently into my scoop. As I passed my scoop up to Constantine, the whole dock worth of people where smiling and cheering. I have had a lot of scoops full that revealed a valuable item, but none of them felt as good as a successful ring find does. Blessings to you Constantine and Silvana, may God Bless your marriage and life together. Thank you for trusting The Ring Finders you two.

Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Soft Sand – Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

On May 26, 2026, just before 6 pm, I received a call from Olivia about a lost ring. She said her husband Tyler had put his Tungsten wedding ring in a bag along with some towels and kid toys. Throughout the course of the day, things were removed and replaced in the bag. They suspected that at some point his ring had been accidently pulled out of the bag and fallen in the soft sand. She also said they had been sitting in the upper part of the beach and left the beach around 4 pm. This would have been right at high tide. To complicate matters, we’re in the King tide cycle, meaning excessive high and low tides. Olivia also stated that the high tide had come in and covered the upper beach, including the rental house stairs to the beach. I told her the best thing would be for me to come out around 11 pm to ensure the tide had gone back out. She agreed and we hung up. Around 7 pm, Olivia called me back concerned that I might have too late of a night. So, I asked her how about 9 pm and she agreed.

I showed up at 9 at the address she had given me. Tyler and Olivia’s uncle met me in the driveway. We walked about a block down to the beach access and out on the beach. We walked about another 30 yards east and they showed me the suspected area. Tyler confirmed his ring was silver Tungsten. I turned my Equinox 800 on, took a step and hit a solid 20 on the VDI (visual display indicator), definitely in the Tungsten ring range. I took a shallow scoop of sand, dumped it on the beach and took my foot and spread it out. With my headlamp on, I could see the outside of sand around a round object. I reached down and pulled Tyler’s ring out, turned around and handed it to him. He and Olivia’s uncle were both caugt off guard and completely surprised. We walked back to their house, enjoyed some conversation with Olivia and then I was on my way.

Olivia and Tyler, thank you for calling and trusting me to help find Tyler’s treasure. Best to both of you!

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Sea Isle City, NJ By Jeffrey Laag of Ring Finders Cape May!

Lost a ring? Don’t Wait, Call NOW!

Received a call from Joes cousin Nicole. Nicole explained that her cousin Joe had just lost his ring in the surf while enjoying the ocean with the family. Joe was body surfing, and at some point, his gold wedding ring had slipped off and disappeared into the ocean. It was just about 5pm when they called and low tide was at 5:30pm. I immediately rushed up and met up with Joe and his family. Joe was fairly confident of where he was at when he noticed the ring was gone but wasnt positive of exactly when it happened. He was between chest deep water and ankle deep surf. I began working a search grid from where he believed was the most probable spot. After recovering many targets in the “wash zone” I began to work my way out to deeper water. Joe and his family had returned to their home for dinner and I assured them that I would continue searching the area to ensure it was thoroughly covered. After about 2hrs of searching I heard the signal I was waiting for. After two scoops in chest deep water out popped Joes ring! Another happy client!

Joes Review:

“Jeff Laag and Ring Finders Cape May are incredible! I lost my wedding ring in the ocean while on vacation last week. Jeff showed up in no time and immediately started his search! I had dropped some change where I thought I lost the ring to help with his search. Jeff found all $9 in change, searching diligently. After two hours I had all but given up and was going to have to tell my wife I lost my ring less than a year into our marriage! Just then, Jeff sent a message that he had concluded his search…and found the ring! Five feet deep in the ocean! If you’ve lost a ring/ valuable metals you need to give this man a call! Thanks Jeff!”

Man’s Wedding Band Launched from the 7th Floor Balcony Towards the Beach. Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

On Monday, May11, 2026, at 9:45 am, I got a call from Cory asking if I could help find his wedding band. I asked him when he lost it, whether in the water or soft sand, and if he was still in the area, He filled in the details for me, and I told him I could probably be there in an hour after I finished a couple of errands. I asked him to send me the address and that I’d text him when I was on my way. He text me the address of the hotel, I finished up my errands, and I text him that I was on my way.

When I arrived at about 10:40 am, I met Cory on the beach behind the hotel. I got a few more details on what happened and about where he lost his ring. Turns out, he lost it last night and there was a little alcohol involved, combined with a lover’s spat, and a heck of a throwing arm. He tossed the ring from the balcony on the 7th floor and said he thought it made it to the beach. He also said that he saw the beach cleaning truck go by about 5 am right over the area. The truck claws they drag in the sand usually don’t pick up rings but can pick up chains. I started an east west grid search from the hotel beach entrance and found nothing but bottle caps. I moved to inside the entrance and checked around the undergrowth and along the sand path. I finally hit a solid 10-11 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Cory said his ring was silver, so I was expecting a number in the low 20s. I was digging everything, so I dug the signal – Bingo!!! I picked the ring up, put it on just over my first knuckle and walked out to where Cory was. I held my finger up and asked, “Is this yours?” A huge smile appeared on his face, he said yes, I handed him his ring, and I got a big bear hug. Nothing beats returning someone’s treasure.

Cory and Nikki – I wish you all the best. Thanks for calling me!

3 Property Markers Found – Conway SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

I got a call from Terri on Thursday, May 7th asking if I could help find the property markers in her yard. We agreed to meet the next day on Friday. Unfortunately, Terri called me Friday and said something came up and she’d call me to reschedule. Today, Saturday, she called back and said she was available. Neither one of us had anything going on, so I jumped in the car and made the short trip.

When I arrived, I met Terri and Joe in the driveway, and they showed me the area of the front marker. They told me the first marker was directly off a sign posted on the side of the road. I turned on my Equinox, checked the area and got nothing. They were positive on the area, so I changed to my Gold Bug II detector. A few sweeps of the area and boom, I found the first marker. We moved to the back of the yard, and I lined up with the neighbor’sH fence and the first marker. Couple of swings and found the second one. Joe and I walked across the back of the yard to find a third marker. As we’re walking Joe mentioned that he had bought both lots, so we were looking for the back marker in the second lot. Luckily that marker had a white survey pole stuck in the ground just inside the wooded area. Bingo, all 3 markers found and marked.

Terri and Joe – Thank you for calling me to help find your markers.

Take care – Jim

Ritz rose gold wedding band in the scoop, lost ring found Naples

  • from Marco Island (Florida, United States)

The kids were playing in the sand, each incoming wave increasing the urgency of adding to the ever growing sand castle wall.  Oops, wedding band gone, lost who knows where!  Was it where we collected shells, or the wet sand or we played ball in knee high surf?  Well, recommendations simply confirm themselves.  From the hotel activities director to the tiki hut guy they all say “call Mark, it’s only lost until you call!”  The story continues, the ring back on the finger where it belongs!

Lost platinum ring naples Florida found

  • from Marco Island (Florida, United States)

While spending an afternoon on the beach under the limited shade offered by the adjacent palms, the couple suddenly noticed his platinum wedding band slip off and bury itself in the sugar sand.  They researched their options, even considering renting/purchasing metal detectors costing hundreds of dollars, their internet search revealed testimony after testimony…”call Mark”…”it’s only lost until you call!”  Well, after prayers God answered.  All glory and thanks be unto God!  Their story continues!

Lost Gold Ring Found in Ann Arbor Michigan

The First Bloom of Spring…..Made Their Hearts Sing!

For just about a year Brendan and his wife had no idea where her ring went missing. Their love of milkweed and the pretty flower it produces inspired them to design a custom ring for Diana. While planting some to attract butterflies is when Brendan thinks the ring vanished. Diana was also busy with other tasks on the property, so they really weren’t sure. I started my grid search on the path Diana took from the house to the garden area. Since the property was once a farmhouse from the late 1800’s I started to see many deep iron targets on my MXT metal detector meter which I quickly passed over. Getting a bouncy signal in where the ring signal would be I dug a piece of foil. Rechecking the ground a new signal sounded good. Pinpointing the item, I dug down about an inch and saw what looked like a flower that was happy to see sunlight again! It was Diana’s ring! Texting them to come out, when they got to me, looking in the hole, Diana plucked the ring from the ground. As huge smiles appeared on their faces, I said what an unusual way to sow the seeds of love!

White Gold Diamond Wedding Ring Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Litchfield Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

Shortly before 5 p.m. on April 15, 2026, I received a phone call from Amy saying she lost her ring. She described the Wedding Ring, and I told her I could be there in about 55 minutes to an hour. Enroute, I called her to get more details on how and where she lost it. She explained that she had put her ring in the cup holder of her chair so she could apply suntan lotion. When she packed up to leave the beach, she forgot the ring. She said that she didn’t realize it was missing until she got back to her Condo. As I’m driving, she sent me a text asking, “Do you think we can find it?” I responded, “Yes, if you put me in the right area, we’ll find it!”

When I arrived at the gated resort, I had to get Amy on the phone so the gate guard would let me enter. I kept Amy on the phone, and she steered me to where she was waiting. We walked out on the beach, and she showed me a group of sticks stuck in the sand showing about where she had been sitting. Unfortunately, there was a couple just a few feet away and basically sitting in the search area. Amy must have told the couple what was going on, so they were happy to leave. Amy also mentioned that the ring could have fallen out of the cup holder on her way to the access. I started an east/west grid search about where Amy had put the sticks and worked my way out on all sides. Since Amy told me her ring was white gold, I knew the VDI (visual display indicator) was going to be in the 9 to 11 range, or there about. As I moved closer to the access point, I got a solid 11 on the VDI. I looked down and saw a little edge of what appeared to be a white gold piece of metal. I reached down and pulled out Amy’s beautiful ring. She was standing about 20 feet away, near where she had me start, when I held her ring up. She couldn’t believe it was found and just stood there. I think she said, “Is that my ring?” It took her about 2 seconds to close the distance and retrieve her ring. What a smile I got. It’s moments like this that make it all worthwhile!

Amy – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure. All the best to you!
