Lost Gold & Diamond ring, recovered, Sawyer Michigan, Lake Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Marilyn lost her gold ring yesterday, while out back with the family on the beach. Not sure if on the dry sand or in the water. This ring has her grandmother’s wedding ring diamonds mounted on it, so its of great sentimental value. Her son contacted me and we orchestrated the details and I was on my way over (time crunch, before work).
The potential loss area grew quite a bit after getting the tour of the beach area, but I would give it my best and return tomorrow if need be.
Nothing turned up on the dry, so I moved to the water.
She’d gone out to neck deep yesterday and said the sand had moved a lot overnight.
After a few passes, I got a nice signal in about thigh deep water. Sounded great, but also sounded like a US nickel (same exact vdi # 26), but when I peeked in the scoop, I saw that Gold ring and knew i’d got it. It was about 3-4” down in the sand.
Marilyn was amazed I’d found it!

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Phil yesterday just ahead of an incoming storm. Phil explained that he was exiting the ocean and shook off his hands when his wedding ring slipped off and was immediately swallowed up by a passing wave. Phil and his wife searched the shallow with no success. Given the time of day, current tide schedule and approaching storm I decided it would be best to attempt recovery during this morning low tide. Phil did an excellent job of marking the area with a pin and taking reference photos. This morning I arrived on the beach at Phils pinned location and began searching. After about an hours time I swung my coil over Phils ring and recovered it from approx 14” down in the sand! Phil and his family finished breakfast and met me on Decatur St beach, here in Cape May and retrieved his ring. Another successful recovery, another saved vacation!

Phils Review:

“Jeff is the best! I lost my gold wedding ring on the southern tip of Cape May beach right as the tide was coming in. We called Jeff immediately, and he was able to head out to the exact spot at the next low tide—roughly 19 hours later. About an hour into searching, he found it! We were sure it was gone forever, especially after a pretty bad storm rolled through that night. Jeff came to the rescue. He is highly professional, and I cannot recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Lost gold & diamond medallion, FOUND! North Cape May, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Bree. Bree explained that she had attended a wedding on the bay, here, in Lower Twp. While at the wedding, Bree had lost a very special medallion from her necklace. This particular piece was a gift upon her retirement from The United Stated Coast Guard. This was probably one of the oldest pieces I have recovered for someone as she explained that this piece dates back to the 1650’s! Bree believed that the medallion may have been pulled off by a child she was holding at some point during the ceremony. Bree and her family had returned several times with sand sifters, spending hours searching for the piece with no luck. Bree explained that she and her family had even considered purchasing their own detector but weren’t sure of the quality and pricing of what they found locally and how to properly use the device. After gathering some specifics, I proceeded down to Bay drive and began my search. Luckily Bree was able to provide some great photos of where the wedding had taken place on the beach that day. After about 10 minutes of searching, I managed to recover the medallion and circle clasp that attached it. When Bree arrived to meet me I told her that she didn’t need to get sandy as I already had her medallion recovered, much to her amazement and relief. Happy tears began flowing! Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

Lost heirloom silver/ruby ring, recovered, Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:


Ahmed called me while I was heading home from a long afternoon of detecting in Lake Michigan. He had just realized that his “silver ruby” ring went missing while at Cherry Beach.
It was getting dark, but offered the option of heading up in about an hour.
We met at the parking lot, geared up and hit the beach. He was not sure when, where or how it was lost. He stated he’d help “bury a friend” in a big hole near where their towels were and also threw handfuls of sand at other friends in a few different directions. So, it turned into a mystery type hunt, fairly large area, but not too bad.
I covered the dry sand first, covering about twenty steps in the directions he’d tossed sand. Nothing there, so I entered the water, made a few passes where he’d also thrown sand towards. After finding an old pull ring, I got a nice high silver sounding signal and scooped that big gypsy style ring. He said it was his late father’s ring, that was handed down for him to wear.

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Poverty Beach, Cape May, NJ

By Ring Finders Cape May

I received a call from Tom. Tom explained that he was enjoying a day on Wilmington Ave beach, here in Cape May, NJ. At some point Toms ring slipped off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Tom, his friends, and family sifted thru the sand but came up empty handed, despite seeing exactly where & when the ring dropped into the sand. After a short ride into town I met up with Tom and his family. One quick pass with my detector revealed the gold rings location. 1 scoop later it was back on its rightful owners finger! Another successful recovery, another happy client!

Toms wife’s review of service: “Amazing! Lost my husband’s ring in the sand that my father made for him . Ring Finders Cape May came in 30 minutes and found it in less than 5. We would have never found it or enjoyed our day if it wasn’t for Ring Finders Cape May. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Lost Wedding Ring found at East Matunuck State Beach in South Kingstown, RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Kayleen asking for my help.  She took off two rings to apply sunscreen and placed them in her lap.  Forgetting that they were there, she stood up and the rings went flying off her lap into the sand.  She was able to find one of her rings, but her diamond wedding band was somewhere in the sand near where she was sitting.  I told Kayleen that I would be there in about 30 minutes.  When I arrived at the beach, Kayleen identified where she was sitting.  It took me about two minutes to find her ring.  As you can see, she was very happy!

Lost Ring found in Cranston, RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)

I received a call from Christina asking for my help in locating a wedding band.  She explained that the wedding band belonged to her late husband who passed away in November 2025.  The ring was lost while her husband was doing yard work in early 2025 and could have been thrown out with yard waste.  If there was still a chance that it was in the yard a year later, she said it would mean the world to her if I found it.  Christina went in the house to continue working from home, while I went to work searching her yard.  I discovered her husband’s wedding band in about 15 minutes.  I texted her asking that she come outside because I had a question. When I showed her the ring, she hugged me and cried with joy.  Christina couldn’t wait to show her children that their dad’s ring was found!

White Gold Wedding Band and Engagement Ring Separately Slip into the Ocean at Garden City SC

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

On Saturday August 22, 2026, and just after 3 p.m., I received a text saying, “Hi There! I just lost (30 mins ago) my engagement ring and wedding band in the ocean. I understand these are just possessions, but it still stings after wearing for more than 16 years. Not sure what to do, but I posted on Facebook and you were highly recommended. Yucca Ave and Waccamaw in Garden City.” I immediately looked up the tide tables for Garden City and saw high tide was going to be in less than an hour at 4:10. I called the number attached and spoke with Kelli. I asked the usual questions, like how deep she was and whether she could meet me to show me the area. She told me that it was her sons 12th birthday and they had already made plans. Since she was still on the beach, I asked her to turn around and take a couple of pictures of what was behind her to give me a reference point. She also told me that she was about waist deep. I told her I’d be out there about 7 p.m. to work the outgoing tide.

On my way down to Garden City around 7 p.m. a big storm with heavy rain and lots of lightening started. It was one of those storms where people drive 5 mph and have their emergency flashers on. I sent Kelli a voice text saying that I may have to call the search off for the night because of the storm. I wanted to keep going to see if the storm would stop by the time I got there, although it didn’t look good. I could handle the rain because I was going to get wet anyway. But, with 2 lightning rods in the form of a metal sand scoop and handle in one hand and a metal detector in the other and standing in the ocean would probably not work out to well for me.

When I got to the beach, the storm had stopped. I walked out on the beach and found the reference points Kelli shared in her photos. It wasn’t that big of a search area, and I did my normal grid search. From Kelli’s explanation, I really expected her rings would be on the lower part of the sloop. I worked from the high tide line out to knee deep on a falling tide and only found 2 fishing weights. I expanded my search to the south, with no luck and then tried to extend it to the north. It was getting dark by then and I was just about to call it a night. That’s about the same time a family of 5 or 6 decided to come out and shoot off very loud fireworks. I called it a night and sent Kelli a text saying I couldn’t find them. I didn’t say anything to Kelli, but I had already made up my mind that I was going back in the morning at low tide.

I arrived back the next morning at 10 just before low tide and started a fresh grid search. I was able to go from the dry sand to about knee deep.  From the pictures Kelli sent, I knew I was looking for white gold rings, but I did confirm it with her. With that in mind, I knew the VDI (visual display indicator) numbers on the Equinox 800 would be in the low single digits for the engagement ring (2-6) and middle to low double digits (9-12) for the wedding band. I started to the south of the southern mark in the pictures and worked north. I was less than 10 lines over when I hit a solid 6 on the VDI. Bingo! This should be the engagement ring. A couple of scoops of wet sand and I had her engagement ring. Ok, so the wedding band should be within a few feet. I searched and searched both north/south and east/west from the engagement ring spot, nothing. In the process I lost my spot so, I started on my last grid line and started working north. A few yards away and higher on the slope I got a solid 9, I had the wedding band. Again, a couple of scoops and saw the wedding band sticking out of the sand.

Kelli had told me that they were leaving that morning to go back home, so I would have to mail them back to her. I made my way back to the car, rings in my pocket and text Kelli with a picture of her rings saying, “GOOD MORNING, what do you think? I think you’re getting your rings back!!!” She immediately responded, “Oh my god!!! I’m still in such shock! Thank YOUUU.”  I love the surprises and making returns. She got her rings back in the mail today, Thursday and as her picture shows, she’s very happy!

Kelli – Thank you for trusting and allowing me to help find your precious treasures. I wish you all the best.

Man’s Rose Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On August 18, 2026, and just before noon, I saw a Facebook recommendation on a lost ring in Myrtle Beach. Shortly afterwards, I received a text message from Haley saying, “Hello, My husband lost his wedding ring on August 13th in Myrtle Beach. I was wondering if you would help us try to find it. It’s very special to him. Please let me know if you are able to help and I can send more information.” I immediately replied asking her to call me. When she called, she told me they were behind the Hampton Inn & Suites in Myrtle Beach. She also said that he lost it on August 13th at 7 p.m. When I checked the tide tables, it would have been about 2 hours before high tide. My biggest concern was that it had been out there for 5 days. With all the locals and tourist hunting the beaches with detectors, I’d be surprised if it was still out there. I did a quick Google search for the address and saw that the Hampton was on the south end of Myrtle Beach. It was also away from the main hotels lining the beach and kind of set off by itself. This could make a big difference in the number of people hunting the beaches there. I checked the tide tables for the 18th, and it showed the cycles reversed and low tide was just before 7 p.m. I told her I’d get there about 5 p.m. and would do my best.

When I arrived, there was no one on the beach. Haley had mentioned that her husband, John had been to the left of the lifeguard stand when he lost his ring. I called Haley just to confirm that I was lined up with where they had been. John got on the phone, and I told him I was in front of the lifeguard stand and facing the resort. Then I asked him whether I go to the left, or right? He replied to the left. Taking all the clues Haley and John gave me, like time and tide, how it came off and a few other things; I was expecting to find his ring on the low side of the sloop.  I started an east/west grid search from the left of the lifeguard stand, down the slope and out to about knee deep. I decided to extend my search out into the ocean, just to make sure. I was on maybe my sixth or seventh grid line and about three quarters of the way down the sloop when I got an iffy signal and started digging. After 5 days of continuous sand movement, I figured the heavy rose gold ring would be deep. It took 4 full scoops of sand to get the target out of the hole. With each scoop, I’d check the hole and the target was getting stronger and reading between a 13 and 15 on the VDI (visual display indicator). These are great numbers for a man’s Rose Gold ring. When I had the target on the beach, I spread the sand out with my foot and saw John’s Wedding band. I cleaned it off and took a short video of me holding the ring and sent it to Haley, then called her. She was shocked and said she was not going to tell John and let him be surprised. I had to call her back for something and she told me then she couldn’t hold it in any longer and told John. She said he was overwhelmed. I got their address and got the ring in the mail and on its way home.

Today, Monday I got a text from Haley saying, “It’s on his finger!!!! Thank you so so much. We will get that picture tonight.”

Haley – Thank you for contacting me to help find your lost treasure. Best wishes to you and John!

Yellow Gold Loop Earring Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Monday, August 24, 2026, I received a voice mail saying in part, “Candy, lost a ring on North Myrtle Beach. Give me a call back and I just wanted to discuss fees.” When I called her back, she told me that a yellow gold loop earring had been lost in the dry sand and asked what I charge. I explained the details on cost, and she asked if I could come. I told her I’d be there in 20 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and hit the road.

I called Candy as I was walking out on the beach and she waved me down. I found out that Becky had her earring fall out of her ear and she showed me a 2’X2’ square where the ring should be. I asked Becky for the other earring so I could test it. After switching to ‘all metal’ mode, I got a loud and clear signal. I asked Becky and the 3 other ladies to move their chairs. As Becky picked up her chair, I swung the coil over the area and Boom! I had her earring in my hand before she set the chair down. Becky was extremely happy as this was a past anniversary present, and tomorrow just happens to be her anniversary.

Becky and Candy – thank you for calling and trusting me to find your lost treasure.

Jim
