Lost ring in the Okanagan Lake near Kelowna BC, found by a metal detector

  • from Vernon (British Columbia, Canada)

During the Labour Day long weekend, I received a message from Ken Dewerson, fellow ring finder that a friend had reached out to him for assistance. Due to previous commitments, he sent the information to me to assist. I called Kassandra and introduced myself and she explained that while cooling off in our local waters, playing with some children, she felt her ring slip off her finger. It was a gold and diamond ring she had received from her Mama for graduating and she said it was very sentimental to her. She spent several days looking for the ring herself but was unable to locate it. She posted on Facebook that she had lost the ring, and unfortunately, also where she lost it. This of course concerned me as I know that others may try to find the lost ring as well. I was spending the day with my son and family an hour north but arranged to go and search for her ring as soon as I was home from my family visit.

I arrived at the location in the early evening of Sunday August 31st and went out in search of the ring. The ground was not at all sandy like most areas in the Okanagan, rather it was very rocky. I started my grid search and my first impression was that there were not many targets, which was good – less digging required. I hit a sinker weight first, then a second and then the dreaded pull tab from a can. I also noticed what appeared to be other dig spots in the area and I feared that someone had indeed tried to find the ring. However, as I had found the other trash items I thought that perhaps it was missed and not found. I completed three short grid runs and on the fourth, in about four feet of water I got that sweet tone on my detector. It took a bit of wrangling to get my scoop under the layer of rocks but on my second scoop, the sweet sound was gone and clearing my scoop, the ring was found!

While still in the water, I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Kassandra who was thrilled and overjoyed that I had found her ring. She was unable to pick it up that day as she was at a celebration of life for a family member but she received her precious ring back two days later.

I was contacted by Jill who stated her mother thought she had lost her wedding ring while weeding. Her mother was throwing the weeds over an embankment behind her residence and thought her ring flew off. When I initially spoke with Jill the ring had been lost for about three weeks. I was unable to make it out the same day she called me to search but assured her I would make arrangements to look.

A few days later it worked out that I was able to search for the ring. I drove out the residence and met Jill’s mother, Peggy and her dog Missy. Peggy explained to me that her husband had passed away and how important the ring was to her. She did not see the ring fly off her finger but she was pretty certain it was over the embankment. They had searched with a metal detector that they bought and also enlisted the help of a neighbor without any luck.

I looked over the embankment and it was overgrown with weeds and tall grass. I took a few steps and realized that all the vegetation was hiding just how steep the bank was. So I started my grid down and back up the hillside taking note of how far I was down. I was thinking that maybe I had not went down over the hill far enough so I was prepared to have to go further down. I was there working my way though the forest of vegetation when all of a sudden I heard that sweet sound of gold. I had seen a picture of the ring and it was very big so the hit I got was loud and steady. I parted the weeds and looked down and there was the ring….sweet success!!

I climbed back to the top of the hillside and Peggy came out to meet me. When I showed her the ring she was stunned and began to shed tears of joy. It was readily apparent how important the ring was to her. She thanked me numerous times. Before I had started to search she had told me how her dog Missy could do all kinds of tricks. I told Peggy that if I found the ring she could have Missy do a few tricks; so Missy got to perform and was very impressive.

Now that the pressure was off as the ring was found there were a few minutes to chat. It is very interesting to hear the stories of rings that are found and all the other important details that the clients like to share. As always it was great to meet another extremely kind and generous client and reunite her with her treasured keepsake!

Last diamond engagement ring at Wreck Beach…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your wedding ring/engagement ring/cell phone/keys? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 Chris 778-838-3463.

I received a text message in regards to a Lost Ring at Wreck Beach Vancouver, unfortunately I was out of town on a bit of a holiday in the Okanogan. When the young lady told me it had been lost for almost a week, the chances were it could’ve already been found.

As we Ring Finders all know, peoples rings have such amazing and powerful stories attached to them, after talking to her on the phone I decided to cut my holidays short and race back to Vancouver Monday afternoon Labour Day weekend. It took me 7 1/2 hours to get to the location where I had to spend the night wake up and do the search early in the morning 5am

By approximately 6:30 AM, I had found her beautiful diamond engagement ring. I FaceTime them and saw her reaction. It was beautiful. I love my job.!!!

Lost gold Pisces pendant recovered, after over a month in Lake Michigan, Warren Dunes State Park, Sawyer Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Family heirloom Pisces pendant, lost while at the beach Aug 1st. Was lost in a fairly large area, she thought it was while they were in the water. It was Reese’s grandmother’s pendant, that Reese wears proudly.
I’ve made more than a few search attempts for this one. Her brother Gavin made a detailed map of the area. The odds that no other pirates have found this were slim to none. However, some sand has moved out over the past week, upping the chance of uncovering some things. So I made a spin around the loss area this afternoon. At the tail end of the hunt, I got a iffy iron sounding signal. Opted to dig it, as usual. The glare of the setting sun made it a trick to see in the scoop basket, but I saw a gold colored chain hanging partly out of the scoop basket. Put my hand on that and hoped with all I have, that I’d see a Pisces pendant when I looked in. Sure enough, there it was! They are beyond thrilled to have it back.

Woman’s White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Monday, September 1st, just before 5:30 pm, I received a text from Laura K. saying, “Can you help me? My wedding band is gone.  Somewhere near 14th street pier. I Scoured where I know it happened. It must have gotten pushed under the sand. Less than an hour after I knew it was gone, I checked on my hands and knees for 20 minutes.” I immediately replied saying, “Call me,” with my phone number. I didn’t hear anything back from her so I figured she found it. I woke up a little late this morning, but had a text from 5:57 am saying, “I missed this last night, sorry! When is good to call? Can you get out there today?? As I’m getting ready to respond, I get a phone text from Laura at 9:02 am saying, “good morning, Jim, this is Laura K. I didn’t want to call you too early, but I can use your help finding my ring asap if you’re available.” This time I had a number to call and called Laura. I told her that unfortunately I had a scheduled search at noon but would probably be available between 3-4 pm. After finishing up the first search, I called Laura, and we agreed to meet at 3:30 pm. Just after 2:30 pm, I got another text from Laura saying, “We will be back in the next 18 minutes. We will wait for you by the Holiday Pavilion Resort Tiki bar right on the boardwalk. I texted Laura back that I’d be there at 3 pm.

When I arrived, I called her to get an idea of where she was on the beach and made my way towards her. When we met, she led the way to where her and her family had been the day before. She pointed out a small area, maybe 10’X5’. I confirmed I was looking for a white gold ring, so I knew the vdi (visual display indicator) on my Equinox 800 would give me a number between 10-12. I started a north/south grid line and on my third line, I hit it!! I got a solid 10 and had no doubt. I took a scoop of sand, checked the hole and had her ring in my scoop. I gently shook the sand out and saw Laura’s ring in the bottom of the scoop. She was standing about 10 feet behind me and watching her kids. So, I held up the ring over my shoulder until she glanced at me and saw me holding her ring. I think it took her a split second to close the distance between us to take her ring. She was extremely excited and called to her husband that I had found it. They were a very excited and gracious couple that gave me a hug from Laura and a handshake from her husband, Chris to close the deal.

Laura – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help you get your wedding band where it belongs. Wish you all the best.

Grandmother’s lost ring in Ofallon, Illinois

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

I was hanging out by my fire pit when I saw the huge shadow of a cicada trying to land on my shoulder.

 

I got up and started walking towards the house and realized the cicada landed on me. I swiped at it a few times and felt my grandmother’s ring slip from my hand.

 

My children and I searched for days and nights. I even purchased a metal detector and search on my own but nothing showed up.

 

A few days later I came across Ring Finder. Jeremy answered on the first ring, arrived the next day and found my ring within minutes.

 

He was confident, professional and so kind! He turned a really fragile moment around for me in minutes! Thank you Jeremy for finding my grandmothers ring that has been in my family for more than 50 years!

Gold Pendant found in Belmont Shore with metal detector

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)

I got a call to see if I could help find a gold pendant in Belmont Shore Monday evening. I showed up and was greeted by a couple guys, one being Jeremy whose pendant it was. Apparently they were wrestling on the sand which caused the chain to break.
I started gridding the area and after about 10 minutes I found his pendant.

Engagement Ring Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Surfside SC

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

This little adventure started on Sept. 1, 2025, just before 9 am, when I received a text message from Piper saying, “Good morning, my name is Piper K., and I lost my engagement ring yesterday at the beach on Surfside. We looked absolutely everywhere, and I think it’s gone for good. But I ended up finding out about ring finders, so I thought I’d give it a try. Is there any way you could help?” I called her and got a few more details like, time of loss, in the ocean or dry sand, if the ocean – how deep? She told me it was lost about noon and in the dry sand. She also mentioned that she had taken the ring off and put it on a towel. As they were leaving, the towel was picked up and shaken off. This is when she thinks the ring was lost. Thankfully she lost it before high tide, so we had a good shot at it around low tide. I asked her to send me the address, which she did. I checked the tide tables and text her that I’d be there about 7 pm. This would put us about 2 hours before low tide. She agreed so we had a plan.

I showed up at the address she provided and let her know I was there. Piper, her fiancé Jordan and her brother met me in the driveway, and we walked a short distance to the beach. Piper showed me the north boundary line, and I had Jordan mark off the south boundary line. I started a north/south grid and after about my 5th line – BOOM! I dug a scope of sand, dumped it out on the beach and spread it out with my foot. I saw her ring, picked it up and held it so Piper could see it. I love the expressions I see when they see their treasure after thinking it was lost forever.

Piper – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Have a safe trip home and I wish you and Jordan all the best in life.
