Missing Ring Recovered – Reposted from Facebook page.








I was contacted by Russian River adventures in Healsburg Ca. That one of their adventures lost his wedding ring in the river on their boat ride down the river. I told Max to give them my number and have them give me a call to see what I can do for them. Melissa, the wife of Nick. Who had lost his ring at some point but was not exactly sure what location it had fell off in the river. So I explained to them that we can meet in the morning and head out on the river first thing. Because getting there as soon as possible and getting in the right location Are too big factors in a successful recovery. Larry, the owner of Russian River adventures was kind enough to loan us two boats. So we set off to start the search and stopped at a few locations where he thought it might have fallen off while helping his wife and her boat. I searched and they looked as well as they could in the areas but did not find anything. So Nic had mentioned to me that he swam about the last hundred yards to the pick up location. That seemed like the likeliest place for him to have lost his ring.. In my experience.  And I was starting to feel bad that I was not turning up anything for him. So as we got to the very end of the river and fatigue was setting in because the water was getting stronger and we had been looking for hours. I wanted  to take a break. But I had one last signal that I wanted to check before getting out and taking a break. And bingo it was Nicks ring. I called him over and he went down and grabbed his ring and put it on his hand and stuck his hand up above the water. To show us that he had got it..  We all let out a whoop and yell. High-fives and hugs all around. And I was so relieved that I was able to return their precious ring. Overall, it was a great time. Melissa and Nic are really great people. And I was happy to be of service and return the ring. Thank you, Melissa and Nick for your generous reward.

From my home town in Connecticut, Arman was enjoying the Cape Cod’s good beach going weather with a Frisbee in hand, the sandy beach, family and friends when he somehow came to be missing his wedding band. No one moved, all looked very intensely for the lost piece of metal that held 11 years of memories. Not wanting to give up, Arman’s wife Mina, “Googled” for someone to help find the wayward ring. As often happens my name came up in a link with TheRingFinders.com and a text was sent my way.
I was out and enjoying a dinner with my wife and a long time metal detecting friend Eleanor. I did not check my text messages until the next morning. I answered it and was on my to the the beach for another recovery attempt. I spent more time talking with Arman about our home town than it took me to locate his ring.
My first good signal was a coin that I had Arman’s son remove from my scoop and to keep as a treasure from Cape Cod. Later he also was very grateful when I gave him one of my TheRingFinders.com cards for him to keep.
Back to the search, my second good target, which I was sure, was Arman’s ring was about 5 minutes later, just beyond the original suggested area to search. I took a picture then had Arman remove the ring from my scoop which he did with no hesitation, brushed the sand off and replaced it on his finger. More picture, stories, and old and current information about our home town was a welcome change from metal detecting stories although a few bits were part of our conversation. It all ended with a great feeling for the Cape and desire to return next year with smiles that will last through the coming year.

Adam contacted me about a ring his wife had lost the day before at local park. She had taken her child to the park to play, and fearing the loss of her ring, she took it off, and put it “safely” in her pocket. She also had her phone in that pocket, and her glasses too, both of which she removed in and out multiple times while her child was playing. Knowing that time is the enemy of a successful recovery, and that a day had already passed, I encouraged a search the same day. He agreed, and said his wife would meet me at the park to show me where to look.
When I arrived Stephani was waiting for me, and after some arrangements with the staff at the park, took me to the first of two areas she believed the loss occurred. I had my 11 inch coil on the detector, but brought my 6 inch coil just to be sure I could search everything. I went over the first area with some difficulty because of some of the metal around the benches and boundaries of the sand pit, and didn’t find the ring. we then went over to the other area which turned out to be a little more difficult, so I changed to the 6 inch coil, and was able to search the spot extensively. Stephani asked what I was wanting to hear, that we could search the first area again. I wanted to go over with the 6 inch coil to be sure I could get in close to the spots that had built in metal. I was working in close to one of the benches, when I received a nice solid tone, put in my pin pointer, and found her ring. When I showed her, there an outpouring of emotion, and she ran off to show her husband, and tell him the good news. It is so fun to be able to turn someone’s broken heart into a joyful one, and in that, this day was a success.

While sitting at home sipping on an iced tea the phone rang. Carolyn, in a desperate voice, asked if I could help find her engagement ring? Of course I said “yes”. She and several friends were on a private beach with no public parking. OK, I could park in her mother’s driveway and walk to the beach. With that said, I was off for what I hoped to be a short search in the mid day sun.
When I arrived at the beach I was told how the loss occurred. Carolyn had put her rings in her pocket. When she stood up to remove her beach cover up so she could soak up some warn sun’s rays she saw her ring fall gently into the fluffy white sand and disappear.
This should be a quick and easy search and it was. In less than a minute Carolyn was wearing her ring again. The Thank Yous and taking of pictures followed. As usual I asked how it came to be that she called TheRingFinders for help. As it happened last night there was a woman in the group that had a story of how her husband had lost his ring and I had found it a couple of years ago. The word is getting around as our success continues to put smiles on so many faces.

As you can see from the photo she was so happy & relieved to have her precious ring back:) Thought it maybe gone forever. This happened after it slipped off while flying a kite the night before on the shoreline during a incoming King high tide!  The waves were pounding & eroding the parking lot throughout the rest of the night. I set my alarm to meet them at Low tide first thing in the morning. Only trouble was finding parking,,,Finding her ring with my Metal detector buried down nearly 8” in the wet sand was easy!

It has been one of those feast or famine years. Hardly any calls for lost items in the first 5 months and now it is almost non-stop. Two days ago a lost wedding band at Long Pond and today another at Long Pond. Jennifer lost her wedding band just feet away from my last call to the pond. Both days I was so fortunate to get to the beach only to find the area that a ring was lost at was just about void of beach-goers. I did not have to ask anyone to move before I found each ring. This hardly happens this time of the year.
Jennifer had texted me just before leaving for her home out of state. She sent me a photo of the area her ring was lost at. At the beach many well-wishers held off asking me questions until I found Jennifer’s ring. Then everyone was interested in my service and a few stories of other returns I had made.
Back at the car, texting with Jennifer, an arrangement was made for me to return the ring to Kate (right picture), a friend that was still in the area and she will return the ring to Jennifer.

With the upcoming 4th of July holiday and an opportunity to spend a few days in Vacation Land, Lou was not one to pass up such a combination. With great weather for enjoying one of the Capes many beaches it was a good time not to be passed up. In the pleasant water and with family and friends Lou was not paying any particular attention to the area he was in at the moment his wedding band slipped from his thinning finger. He searched looking at the shells and other creatures on the ocean’s floor, but did not find the ring.
Here is where friends and TheRingFinders work together. Pete was contacted, but could not help but did pass the info onto Leighton who also could not help due to his work schedule. So Leighton passed the info onto me. Hey, I am retired and live for the opportunity to help others. I contacted Lou and set up a sunrise meeting time. Three hours of searching and the tide was coming in and the wind getting stronger. I called it a morning. With all the good intentions of returning for the evening tide. That did not happen as the seas got rougher. So it was another early morning search on the calendar.
Friday morning came with water calm enough to search in. About 2 ½ hours later I was heading out to meet for another morning’s commitment. I was haphazardly searching closer to the shore line, on the way out for the morning, and about 5 feet beyond the area Lou had me searching in. A faint target I had just heard was one that I was not going to pass up on. It was a solid tone and a perfect dot on my detector’s ID screen. I am glad I did not pass it up as it was Lou’s ring.
I texted Lou and set up a 1pm meeting to return his ring. Another successful adventure and the pictures tell it all.
