Lost truck keys found and recovered from Saratoga Lake, NY

  • from Saratoga Springs (New York, United States)
Contact:

Matt called me at 6pm and said he had dropped  his ONLY truck key and faub  into the water which was about 4 feet deep as he was getting out of his boat and onto the dock.  He had searched for a long time but was unable to find it. I rushed down to the lake immediately as it was a race against daylight. The bottom of the lake was all muck and weeds. Not a good situation. I decided to go in without the detector and just use the probe but that only stirred up more cloudy muck which would only bury it deeper. I abandoned the probe and I chose to make a visual search  trying not to touch the bottom.  Because I was moving so slowly and carefully, I could not stay down near the bottom so I asked Matt if he had a weight of some kind to hold me down. He had a small 6lb anchor which did the trick. After 20 minutes I saw what looked like a glint of the key ring sticking out of the mud.  I had found the key.  We were both thrilled and very lucky!  It would have been an expensive nightmare for Matt to have the truck towed and get a new key made from the dealership (without a spare) to make it from. A very happy ending.

Diamond Wedding Ring Found for Owner, Falmouth Heights Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from West Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Shelby wisely removed her conjoined engagement/wedding rings and put them in her pocket when she and her family went to enjoy some time on the beach.  Unfortunately, when she later slid her hand into her pocket to retrieve the rings, there was only the heart-rending realization that they were gone.  She had stowed her cell phone in the same pocket, and she felt it was very likely that the rings had come out and dropped in the sand at the same time she had pulled out her phone.  Her mother called Falmouth’s Mitchell Bathhouse to seek help, and they informed her about the RingFinders and provided her with my name.  I received a call the next morning and half an hour later met Shelby and her sister at the beach, ready to hear her story and see if I could replace the gloomy faces with happy smiles.

Shelby and her sister showed me the location where the family had been on the previous day, which now included some morning beach goers.  When these folks heard the story of the lost rings they very kindly moved a couple of times to make sure I was able to cover the full area in my search.  I did several beach-parallel swaths, finding a few trash items, but within a half hour or so heard the sweet signal of success and soon Shelby’s rings were in my scoop.  I walked over to her, letting her look into the scoop and remove the rings while I had the great pleasure of watching the joy burst across her face.

As it turns out, the large diamond in the engagement ring had quite a story.  I’ll let Shelby tell the story:

“As I mentioned yesterday, this ring has been in my husband’s family for over 60 years.  The stone was found when his great uncle was on a walk and saw it on the side of the road.  Being a jeweler he took care of it, cleaned it up, and reset it on a band.  The ring stuck with his family passed down to his grandmother, then his mother, and finally to me.  My husband had the stone reset onto a new band working closely with a jeweler to give me something special for me.

I’ve been wearing this ring for 2 years since our wedding and it means everything to me.  There is simply no replacing it.

I’m so grateful that you came out within a half hour of calling and found it as quickly as you did.  I can’t thank you enough.

We jokingly talked afterward that you’re having found the ring and having so many friendly vacationers cheering and clapping was almost better than the engagement itself (haha).  You are truly incredible.

From being found on the side of the road in California and again on Falmouth Heights beach decades later, I’d call this the luckiest ring ever.”

Thank you, Shelby, for the opportunity to be added to saga of this ring!

 

Shelby with her ring – a very happy young lady!

 

Shelby’s mated wedding and engagement rings.

 

Smiles of success!

Class Ring Found in Lake Wawasee IN

  • from Bristol (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Jason called me when I was at work and said he lost his class ring while trying to tie his boat to the dock. He said he frantically looked for it for two days it was in 8 feet of water and in weeds and muck. I went out there right after work and dove down and found it. He was truly grateful saying he never wares it, its only kept in a box because his parents bought it for him and they have passed away. It was his 50 year class reunion so he brought it with him. It was a true blessing to see his reaction after I came up with it. I am so glad GOD put this together and gave me the talent and passion for this I get to meet wonderful people like Jason.

Lost – Lady’s Custom Diamond Wedding Set, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Late Friday evening, I received a text from Lindsay, who said she had lost her wedding ring at New Smyrna Beach. She and her family had spent the day there, and she had placed her ring in the pocket of her shorts. Shortly after, she realized it was missing—it could have been on the beach or in the water.  I replied to her text and told her to call me with the details anytime.

Early the next morning, I arrived at daybreak, just after low tide.  As I made my way to the beach, a lady noticed my equipment and cheerfully said, “Happy treasure hunting!” I replied, “I’m actually searching for something someone lost.” She responded kindly, “Then I’ll say a prayer to St. Anthony.” I thanked her and got to work.

Lindsay had sent pictures to help pinpoint the area. I quickly covered all the dry sand and the area leading down to the water. As the tide started to rise and the surf grew more active, I decided to come back at the next low tide, this time with my friend, Brian.

When we returned, a massive storm had just passed. We wasted no time getting back to the search. Brian used his XP Deus 2, while I had my Minelab Manticore. We methodically swept the same area I had focused on earlier. As the storm intensified and lightning flashed around us, I headed north. Just then, Brian, with a hopeful tone, said, “Ok, St. Anthony, what do you have for me?”

Almost immediately, he got a hit—it was the ring! I quickly texted Lindsay pictures of the find and followed up with a call. Her joyous shouts echoed through the phone. Soon after, the beautiful ring was back in her hands, where it belonged

I’ll set up a fast appointment to recover your valuable jewelry, wherever it’s lost in Malibu!
This morning, I got a call from Lauren, a Chicago visitor who’d been enjoying Broad Beach in Malibu with her family the day before. To protect her wedding ring while swimming, she’d placed it in the cupholder of a beach chair. But when the chair was moved, the ring flew into the sand. Hours of searching on hands and knees across Broad Beach—near spots like Zuma Beach and Point Dume Beach—left them empty-handed and frustrated. That’s when they turned to me, Dave MacDonald, for expert lost ring recovery in Malibu.
I met Lauren’s husband, Daniel, at the Broad Beach path entrance, and we headed to their estimated spot. Armed with my Minelab Manticore—perfect for ring recovery—I gridded the sand methodically. The beach was quiet, unlike busy Leo Carrillo State Beach or El Matador Beach, but I expanded my search toward the high tide line. Then, a strong signal pinged just inches from the water’s edge. One quick scoop, and Lauren’s wedding ring was back in hand—a swift win for lost ring recovery in Malibu!

Kevin contacted me about 12:00 midnight after having lost his wedding ring earlier in the day. When he told me where he lost it, I told him it would be best to go right away, because this area is detected like clockwork by other treasure hunters. He agreed, and we both rushed to the area.

We were there by about 12:30 AM. He got there just before me, and sent a text telling me that another detector was searching the area, and he would try to keep him from the spot. As I walked down I saw the other guy moving into the area where Kevin was standing, so I went right over. I let the other guy know why I was there, and he didn’t seem too happy as he kept searching the same area. We got to where we actually bumped coils a couple of times, but I kept to my search plan after Kevin showed me where to look. A couple more swings of the coil, a dip of the scoop, and I had Kevin’s ring which I promptly handed back to him, and then we both left the spot to the other guy. I know Kevin appreciated the fact that I was not afraid to stand my ground when it came to helping him, and I was glad to do it. He told me he had searched so hard earlier crawling on his hands and knees, that his knees had become raw, and was so surprised at how quickly the recovery was made. We made it by the skin of our teeth with just minutes to spare, and I was so happy to have made Kevin’s day.

How to find a lost cross with Metal Detector, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

What would 4 young men do after their Stockton State College track meet, that’s right, go to the beach to have some fun and cool down in the pristine Jersey Shore Ocean waters. Just prior to going into the water, Brendan removed his cherished cross and chain, and clasped it around the loop on his hat for safe keeping. After they got out of the water, it was placed back around his neck, and just a few moments later, his friend noticed the cross was missing. Luckily his friend Jackson had told his mom Brenda, who was very familiar with NJ Ring Finder stories, from some of the local pages. Brendan, Jackson, and Luke had searched for quite a while without any luck, and that’s when the call came in to me for HELP. I arrived on the Lavallette beach just a short while later, got all the details and searched the entire spot without any luck. After they assured me it must be right there, I turned my metal detectors sensitivity almost as high as it would go, and on the first pass I received a very faint but steady signal, which was in fact, Brendan’s beautiful cross. Another happy ending to a fantastic beach day.
