Lost Koa Inlaid Wedding Band at Queen’s Hospital West…FOUND!!!


This ring find began last night when I got a call from Doctor Javier. He was sitting in the Hospital’s Garden Break area talking to his wife on his cellphone and tossing his ring back and forth between his hands. Suddenly, one of the tosses was too strong and he thought he saw the ring travel to his left and disappear into the grass. After a futile search he reached out to theringfinders and found me. I agreed to meet him after work the next day to hunt for his ring. Doctor Javier was waiting outside when I arrived and the break area was just a short walk from where I parked. He described on location how the ring went missing and I started my search. I could see some some sprinkler heads so there was going to be some target interference. I decided to only pinpoint surface targets on the Nox as their were quite a few deeper targets coming thru. After a thorough search of the area and no ring found I told Javier some piece of information is missing but since its a small area I was going to expand the grid to cover it all. As I was going behind the tree I got a surface target tone and looked down. Leaning against the tree’s trunk was Javier’s ring. How in the world did it get back there when it should have been to Javier’s left side. Looking at the chair our only answer was the ring had to of rolled down the back leg and behind the tree. See the other chair for reference. Acrobatic Tungsten ring! All that matters is we had a successful recovery. Aloha to Doctor Javier!
Sarah called about her wedding ring she lost in the sand. She was down on Holgate beach in LBI NJ when they dropped out of her pocket after removing her phone. She found 2, but one was no where to be found. It worked out good as I was on my way over to LBI doing another recovery. I called when I was done and we met on the beach. We talked a bit going over the details of where it was lost, and the makeup of the ring, so I would know what signal to listen for. In just a few short swings I got a signal, exactly where she showed me. I didn’t think it would be her ring because she said hers was gold, and this was a much lower tone. I was expecting foil, but after the sand emptied out, much to my surprise there was a ring in the bottom of my scoop. We confirmed the shape and diamond pattern, and bingo, this was her ring. 






Got a message from Michael asking for help in locating his wife’s Loree wedding set. I called as soon as I got the message and told him i’d be there in 20 minutes if he’d wait, he agreed and I met them at the beach. While out enjoying the 4th of July on the beach with his family, Loree took off her rings and put them in the side pocket of her beach bag so she could take her son down to the water to swim. During the day the bag got knocked over and the rings fell out without her knowing. Leaving the beach she remembered her rings and they were gone. She was devastated. They took me to where they were sitting and I found 1 of them right away but couldn’t find the other in the same area. I searched some more and about 5 feet from the first one I found the other. She couldn’t stop crying for joy when she got her rings back on her hand where they belonged. A great Happy Ending.


Got a message from Leah asking for help in locating a friends wedding band at Sea Girt beach. I told her to get me as much information about it and i’ll head right down. While driving to the beach I got a call from Inger the woman who lost the ring, she is visiting from Norway. She was able to give me a pretty good idea as to where to look for it. It seems while enjoying the day at the beach she put her jewelry in the cup holder on her beach chair. When it was time to leave she started putting it back on and started to gather stuff up and didn’t get the chance to put her ring back on yet. Not knowing this her son went and folded up the chair and the ring went flying into the sand. Everyone started to look for it but didn’t have any luck. I got to the beach and she told me about where to look and to look for the holes they dug and the dig marks looking for it. Sure enough I saw where they were sitting and digging and after about 10 minutes I had her ring in the scoop. I called her to tell her the good news and made arrangements to meet up with her the next day. A happy ending for all.
