Brandon was out in his kayak enjoying the nice weather and the calm waters for fishing.  When he got back on the dock, he realized his phone was missing.  He was able to put me in the suspect area because of the last ping.  I tested water depth and immediately went to get my dive gear. 5 minutes after decending on my downline I located it. Always an honor to help someone out and enjoy a new place to dive.

 

Lost – Gold Diamond Family Heirloom Engagement Ring, St. Augustine Beach, FL Found!

On the morning of June 25, 2026, I received a message from my longtime friend Jaymie about a lost ring posted on Facebook. Upon reading the post and noticing that it was just a half-mile away, I quickly messaged the individual. While waiting for a response, I was contacted by Bob Mairs, the administrator of Saint Augustine Treasure Hunters, about the same ring. I informed him that I was on my way to the location. Bob coordinated with the post originator while I prepared and drove to the spot.

The evening before, Michael had just proposed to Sadie on the beach. The love and joy of the moment, coupled with the setting sun and their special location, made it an incredibly memorable occasion. As they strolled in the shallow water of the beach, celebrating their new life together, the ring slipped off Sadie’s finger. They frantically searched for it, but within 20 minutes of their joyous moment, the engagement ring was gone.

This wasn’t just any engagement ring; it held immense sentimental and emotional value. It was a symbol of the deep bond of love between a mother and daughter. Michael had proposed using Sadie’s late mother’s ring. Sadie’s mother had tragically passed away in a motor vehicle accident when she was a young child. The only remaining possession of her mother was this engagement ring. I can only imagine the devastation that was coursing through Sadie’s heart and mind as she desperately searched for her ring.

Driving to the location, I prayed that I could find the ring before I had to leave for my VA appointment in Jacksonville. Fortunately, Bob managed to connect with Michael’s mother and informed me that they would meet me at the location. When I arrived, Sadie and Michael were both there and pointed to the area where the ring had been lost. Fortunately, the tide was approximately the same as when they had lost the ring 12+ hours earlier. Quickly covering the shallow water area, I didn’t have to wait long before I heard a beautiful tone in my headset. 

Within my first scoop, I spotted the ring. Safely keeping it inside the scoop, I stepped out of the water onto the beach. I beckoned them to join me. Even with her sunglasses on, Sadie’s eyes and smile conveyed her excitement. I mentioned that I needed to leave immediately for a medical appointment. We exchanged hugs, shook hands, and they expressed their immense gratitude. Later that morning, I received a personal message that revealed the ring’s significance to this young lady. I must admit that my wife and I both shed tears after reading her message.

Some recoveries leave an indelible mark on our lives. This one certainly qualifies as such. If you find yourself in a situation where you’ve lost something important, please don’t hesitate to reach out to The Ring Finder in your area.

We possess the necessary equipment, expertise, and professionalism to recover your lost item.

Gold and Diamond Family Heirloom Engagement Ring Returned

Successful Recovery of Her Late Mother’s Ring

Gold Diamond Family Heirloom Engagement Ring

The immense sentimental and emotional value of this ring is beyond priceless. It is a symbol of deep love between a mother and daughter.

Lost – Wedding & Engagement Ring Set at Crescent Beach, FL, FOUND by local metal detectorist, The Prospecting Mulé

15 June, 2026 I woke up to a Facebook message about a pair of lost rings (wedding and engagement ring set) on Crescent Beach. Reading the information and knowing the area well I knew exactly which part of Crescent Beach to search. I left a note for my wife and out the door I went in hopes of recovering the rings before the tide came in.

The couple, Katelyn and Joseph, were relaxing on Crescent Beach the day before when a fast approaching storm hit. They both rushed to get themselves and their gear back to their vehicle. In their rush they had forgot Katelyn’s rings being tucked safely away in the pocked of the tent. Quickly they went back looking for them. The wind was blowing the sand around making a surface find improbable. Keeping their composure they took photos and videos of the area the rings were lost and noted the time. This information is vital for a quick recovery. Photos (GPS location) assist in narrowing down the search area and the time helps us determine the tide cycles since they were lost.

Going by the information they provided, I started my search pattern just before 5:00am. Not having the couple there to pin point the area made for a larger search area. I slowly gridded the area north and south. Starting at a western point and working my way towards the surf. After 45 minutes of searching I finally came across a good and shallow signal. I was extremely grateful both rings were in my scoop when I pulled it up. 

I immediately took a photo and sent it to Joseph to let him know Katelyn’s rings were safely in my hands and gave him my phone number. Packed up my gear and headed home with this wonderful feeling of accomplishment. About an hour later I received a call from him. The gratitude in his voice and words were heartwarming.

We arranged a time to meet that day so I could return the rings. Several hours later, I received a call Joseph was able to get out of work early and was heading my way. Seeing the smiles on Katelyn’s face as she exited the vehicle was priceless. I presented her the rings and received a heartfelt hug and words of blessed thanks. Moments like these are the reason we are members of The Ring Finders.

Another successful recovery and amazing memory was made that day. If you happen to lose something important please reach out to the The Ring Finder in your area.

Ring recovery at Belmar NJ

Got a call from Ciarra asking for help in locating her lost ring. While enjoying a beautiful Sunday at Belmar beach with her boy friend, Ciarra took off her ring and placed it on her towel. During the day the towell got moved forgetting about the ring and the ring flew into sand. She spent an hour with her hands looking for it but had no luck. I took the ride to Belmar and she met me at the entrance. We got to where she was sitting and within a few minutes I had her ring back on her hand. A great ending to a beautiful day.

Metal detecting service finds lost cochlear implant in inter coastal water in Port Orange, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



The very best metal detecting service in Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…so call or text me anytime at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Amberly texted me to ask if I was available to find a lost cochlear implant that belonged to her son. Apparently while taking pictures at the Boondock Restaurant in Port Orange Florida her son’s cochlear implant fell into the inter coastal water right where everyone feeds the local catfish! Amberly’s husband climbed down into the water and tried dragging a fishing net along the bottom but after an hour or so he gave up and it was decided that they needed specialized help in order to find their lost cochlear implant. So the next morning I gathered all my gear and headed over to the Ponce Inlet area and met Amberly and her family. It was not an ideal place to do a water search as the area was full of sharp objects like oyster shells and barnacles and even hungry cat fish and so I opted to use my large Magnatar magnet and by leaning over the rail I was able to lower my magnet into the water and slowly bob it back and forth. Ideally the lost cochlear implant should have been directly below where it fell but because a fishing net was dragged over the area it obviously got moved further out into the water. So after 30 minutes or so I found exactly what I was looking for…Amberly’s son’s lost cochlear implant! And my prayer was…Thank you GOD for allowing me to be used to help Amberly and her family in their time of need!!!

So how can GOD help me help you? Mike McInroe…grateful member of theringfinders.com

Lost gold wedding ring, Recovered by metal detectorist, Gowdy Beach, New Buffalo, Michigan (Lake Michigan)

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)


Alec and Rachel, enjoying the perfect day at the private beach. In the water, sun shining, tossing a football. Uh oh, Alec discovered his gold wedding ring was missing from his finger.
Not knowing when or exactly where it came off, meant a fairly large search area. Highest chance it was during a throw, which can hurl a ring quite a ways or into deeper water.
Search conditions: Air 78, water 72, 2 ft gently rolling waves, crystal clear water.
Detector: Minelab Manticore
Scoop: XtremeScoops surfmaster titanium

Gridded the probable area, several junk metallic hits. At around 35 minutes in, I called a perfect 51 vdi signal the ring (in my thoughts), scooped out a bright, shiny one-month-old gold wedding ring! Was about 10 inches down in the semi-lofty sandbar sand. Their one month anniversary today. Happy day!

I received a text if I was available to find a lost gold wedding ring in Huntington Beach. The friend told me his friend just got married yesterday and lost the ring today. They were playing volleyball when the ring came off his finger. It took about 15 minutes to find the ring and when I held it up the whole party of around 25 people started cheering and clapping.

Lost Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered in Deale, Maryland!

I received a call from Mike this past weekend looking for my assistance in recovering his daughter’s lost engagement ring. Our initial plans to come out the next day was hampered by poor weather conditions so we moved it to the next day. This one was a bit challenging as the ring could be on land or in water about 4ft in depth. With that said, I brought both my land and water metal detectors with me. From here on out, I’ll let Julie, Mike’s wife, tell of her experience.
My daughter was going to go tubing with her husband and neighbors, so she put her engagement ring and wedding band inside her neighbor’s shoe on the pier to be safe and told her they were there. When they all returned to the pier, the neighbor’s little brother picked up his sister’s shoes to carry them back home, unaware that my daughter’s rings were in one of the shoes. He carried them on the pier, up a grassy bank and up to the house. When my daughter looked in the shoes, her wedding band was still in the shoe, but her engagement ring was gone. Her husband is from Africa and when she went to visit him and meet his family he proposed to her in Namibia. Her engagement ring from Africa was priceless to her. I immediately started Googling metal detectors and came across Jim’s website. My husband called him the next morning and he came out a day later due to the weather. My husband and young neighbor showed Jim the path that was taken with the shoes. Jim started searching on land and then moved to the water and then searched on land again a little farther out than he did at first. He found it! We are all forever grateful for Jim. He made a lot of people very happy that day!
I’m so glad that I was successful helping out Mike, Julie and their family. Great people and good conversation throughout the day!
Here are some pics…..when I first “heard” it…….
…..to when I exposed it through the grass…..
….to a clear pic of it’s beauty!

Steven and his wife Erin were enjoying the perfect beach day. The lake was a bit wavy, but Steven planned to get some time on the paddle-board. Upon mounting the board, things went south and Steven fell off in knee deep water. He felt his ring slip off. They consulted ChatGPT, which recommended me as a ringfinder option. There were quite a few metallic targets to sort through, but after about 15 mimutes, Ring in The Scoop. Happy wife!

Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Pawley’s Island SC

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

On Friday, July 10, 2026, at 5:40 p.m. I received a voice mail saying, “Hi, my name is Park. I am staying on Pawley’s Island and lost a wedding band. I found this number as a ring finder.” I was able to get the call before he hung up and found out additional details. He told me that he had taken the ring off to apply suntan lotion before going out on the beach. He also stated that he took his ring off and set it on the banister. He believed it had fallen or gotten knocked off into the area around the porch. He also stated it may be on the beach in the dry sand but was more convinced it was around or under the porch. He also told me that they had to check out by 10 a.m. Saturday. We arranged for me to show up at 8 a.m. and check out both areas.

I arrived on time and talked with Park who showed me the area around the porch that he suspected the ring was. Luckily, the area was mostly dead leaves and a couple of sticker bushes. He told me the wedding band was yellow gold; I had my Equinox 800 so I knew the ring would show up in the 15-17, maybe 18 range on the VDI (visual display indicator) depending on the size of the ring. I searched all along the porch area and got nothing in the range I expected. From there, Park and I walked out to the beach, but Park wasn’t really sure the ring would be out there. He showed me the area and went back to the house to finish packing and loading the car. The area was maybe 15X20 ft and wouldn’t take long. I started an east/west grid line outside the suspected area. About my fifth or sixth line I got a solid 16 on the VDI and about 3-4 inches deep. I left my scoop in the car because I didn’t think I’d need it, wrong! I started sifting the sand through my fingers and saw Park’s yellow gold band lying in the hole I had made. Bingo!! I walked back to the house and knocked on the door. Park’s wife opened the door and called Park to come downstairs. About halfway down he asked if I had found it. I held it up and said, “Yes.” He instantly perked up and was so excited he had his ring back. I think it’s going to be a much happier ride home to DC.

Park – Thank you for calling me and trusting me to help find your lost wedding band. Take care!

Jim
