Lost Engagement Ring Recovery at a farm in Grimsby Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another memorable recovery story!

Ryan contacted us by text after Emily had lost her ring the day before while feeding her horses. She had already spent hours that evening searching everywhere she could think of, but the ring had completely disappeared.

We started searching around the stalls and checked the areas where she had been working. Then we moved on to the feed bags and searched through them one by one. Down to the very last bag… we finally got the signal we were hoping for.

Sure enough, hidden inside the last feed bag was Emily’s missing ring!

Recoveries like this are a great reminder that lost items often end up in the places you’d least expect.

Another amazing recovery for an amazing couple!

Gold Wedding Ring Recovery Rochester New York

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another happy ending!

We recently received a call about a lost wedding ring that had disappeared while gardening. One minute it was on their finger, and somewhere between digging, pulling weeds, and working around the garden beds, it had vanished.

After searching through the area and carefully working our way around the garden, we finally got the signal we were hoping for. A few moments later, the missing wedding ring was back where it belonged.

Wedding rings hold so much more than just value — they carry memories and meaning. Recoveries like this are always rewarding!

Lost iPhone Recovery from The Grand River in Dunnville Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

Another successful recovery in the books!

We received a call from Amjad after an exciting day of fishing on the Grand River took an unexpected turn. He had just caught a fish and went to snap a photo of his catch when, in all the excitement, his phone slipped from his hand and disappeared into the water.

The phone had settled in about 10 feet of water, but the real challenge was the very poor visibility. After spending some time searching along the bottom, we were able to locate and recover it.

Nothing beats seeing the relief on someone’s face when a lost item is back where it belongs!

I Phone lost in Lake Monroe, Florida…recovered by Central Florida ring finder.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

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.

Nilesh was looking at some of the local wildlife along Lake Monroe here in Sanford, Florida and as he and his friends were admiring an alligator in the reeds…Nilesh felt some kind of bug land on his arm and he swatted at it causing him to drop his cell phone. Only his phone hit the concrete and bounced into the water below and disappeared. The water level is quite low this time of year so it is at least an 8 foot drop down to the water and then there is the water hyacinths and reeds and mud. It was getting late in the day when Nilesh called me and I opted to try and use my large Magnatar magnet but after an hour or so we decided to meet early the next morning so I could use my metal detector and do a proper search. I arrived the next morning with an extension ladder and poles to push the water hyacinths back so I could decend into the shallow murky water and 5 minutes later I got a good solid high signal on my Garrett ATMax metal detector and as I felt around with my scuba boot I could feel a flat smooth item the size of a cell phone and sure enough–there was Nilesh’s lost I phone.

It is always a pleasure helping find a lost item and being able to return it to it’s rightful owner! Call or text me if you have lost something and need help!

Man’s Wedding Band Launched from the 7th Floor Balcony Towards the Beach. Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Monday, May11, 2026, at 9:45 am, I got a call from Cory asking if I could help find his wedding band. I asked him when he lost it, whether in the water or soft sand, and if he was still in the area, He filled in the details for me, and I told him I could probably be there in an hour after I finished a couple of errands. I asked him to send me the address and that I’d text him when I was on my way. He text me the address of the hotel, I finished up my errands, and I text him that I was on my way.

When I arrived at about 10:40 am, I met Cory on the beach behind the hotel. I got a few more details on what happened and about where he lost his ring. Turns out, he lost it last night and there was a little alcohol involved, combined with a lover’s spat, and a heck of a throwing arm. He tossed the ring from the balcony on the 7th floor and said he thought it made it to the beach. He also said that he saw the beach cleaning truck go by about 5 am right over the area. The truck claws they drag in the sand usually don’t pick up rings but can pick up chains. I started an east west grid search from the hotel beach entrance and found nothing but bottle caps. I moved to inside the entrance and checked around the undergrowth and along the sand path. I finally hit a solid 10-11 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Cory said his ring was silver, so I was expecting a number in the low 20s. I was digging everything, so I dug the signal – Bingo!!! I picked the ring up, put it on just over my first knuckle and walked out to where Cory was. I held my finger up and asked, “Is this yours?” A huge smile appeared on his face, he said yes, I handed him his ring, and I got a big bear hug. Nothing beats returning someone’s treasure.

Cory and Nikki – I wish you all the best. Thanks for calling me!

Lost Eight Ring Stack at Waimanalo Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Ola from Texas who told me her friend Ashley from Michigan lost an eight ring stack in the dry sand at Waimanalo Beach Park.  I checked Google Maps and told Ola I could be there n about 30 minutes.  When I arrived, Ola hailed me from the top of the beach sand berm which was in view from the parking lot.  Ashley explained that her 8 rings were in the pocket of her shorts and as they changed locations on the beach at some point they must have fallen out.  I had the two of them draw in the sand an area that would cover everywhere they had been.  Thankfully, the area was fairly small.  Ola suggested I start on the far end from where we were standing so fired up the Manticore and proceeded towards that area.  On the way, I got a solid tone and there was ring #1.  I heard another target and scooped ring #2.  Ashley was very happy but we had six more to go.  I continued on the grid and about ten feet away detector overload.  Rings #3 through #8 were all in a clump together.  I let Ashley & Ola retrieve them from the scoop.  Two very happy young ladies.  We had a few laughs and hugs and you can see their joy in the picture above.  Aloha to Ashley & Ola!

 

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Kailua Beach Park…FOUND!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from our fellow ring finder on Maui, Dave Sheldon saying a couple from Dallas Texas,  enjoying their 2nd Anniversary on Kailua Beach lost their Yellow Gold Wedding Band in the dry sand.  Shortly thereafter,  I got a call from Lauren who said her husband Daniel lost his ring in the dry sand.  I told her I could be there in about 30 minutes but parking would be chaotic.  When I arrived it took three full laps before a small car departed and there was just enough room for me to parallel park.  Daniel met me by the restroom, then walked me down to where the ring was lost.  Daniel had placed his ring in a “SHORE” ball cap without Lauren’s knowledge and when she put on the hat the ring flew out and disappeared into the soft sand.  They looked briefly but realized soon enough it was hopeless and contacted “The Ring Finders”  I started a grid search, first target a lead egg sinker.  Second target a dime.  Third target “gold ring” and the Anniversary is saved!  Aloha to Daniel & Lauren

3 Property Markers Found – Conway SC

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

I got a call from Terri on Thursday, May 7th asking if I could help find the property markers in her yard. We agreed to meet the next day on Friday. Unfortunately, Terri called me Friday and said something came up and she’d call me to reschedule. Today, Saturday, she called back and said she was available. Neither one of us had anything going on, so I jumped in the car and made the short trip.

When I arrived, I met Terri and Joe in the driveway, and they showed me the area of the front marker. They told me the first marker was directly off a sign posted on the side of the road. I turned on my Equinox, checked the area and got nothing. They were positive on the area, so I changed to my Gold Bug II detector. A few sweeps of the area and boom, I found the first marker. We moved to the back of the yard, and I lined up with the neighbor’sH fence and the first marker. Couple of swings and found the second one. Joe and I walked across the back of the yard to find a third marker. As we’re walking Joe mentioned that he had bought both lots, so we were looking for the back marker in the second lot. Luckily that marker had a white survey pole stuck in the ground just inside the wooded area. Bingo, all 3 markers found and marked.

Terri and Joe – Thank you for calling me to help find your markers.

Take care – Jim

Lost ring in Cave Springs… found

  • from Cave Springs (Arkansas, United States)

 A New Partner for Lost History in NWA

My name is Jacob Hogue, and I am proud to officially launch my professional recovery service as a member of The Ring Finders Metal Detecting Service here in Northwest Arkansas. My mission is simple: to help you continue the story of your most sentimental possessions when they go missing. Whether it’s a wedding band lost in a Cave Springs backyard, a family heirloom dropped at Osage Park, or car keys buried in the snow at a local trail, I am here to help you find what you thought was lost forever.

Why Call a Specialist?

Many people try to rent or buy a detector themselves, but without years of experience, the chances of finding a small ring are slim. I use professional-grade equipment like the Minelab X-Terra Pro, which features advanced Pro-Switch technology. For jewelry recovery, I manually switch my frequency to 15 kHz, the “sweet spot” for detecting gold, platinum, and fine silver that standard detectors often miss.

My “No-Risk” Professional Approach

I believe that professional recovery should be accessible to everyone in our community. That’s why I operate on a unique business model designed to put your mind at ease:

• Transparent Pricing: I charge a modest $65 call-out fee to cover my travel and gas across the NWA area.

• Reward-Based Recovery*: My actual finding fee is on a Reward Basis—you pay what the item is worth to you only after it’s back in your hand.

• The Book of Smiles: Every successful recovery is a chance to add to my local “Book of Smiles,” documenting the moment we turn a tragedy back into a celebration.

Serving Cave Springs, Bentonville, Rogers, and beyond…

I am currently the exclusive Ring Finders member listed for this region, and I am ready to respond. If you’ve lost something in Cave Springs, Bentonville, Rogers, or Fayetteville, don’t wait. The sooner we start a professional grid search, the higher the chance of a successful recovery.

Lost wedding band recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
This past weekend I received a call from Kyle after he found my information on theringfinders.com. He had lost his 18 kt gold wedding band while throwing the ball for his dog Moose. He had seen the ring go flying and even seen where it bounced off the concrete patio. He raked the yard, spent time on his hands and knees and even purchased a pinpointer from a large on-line retailer. But his attempts to find the ring were fruitless.
Stephanie Hobbs and I were at his house within an hour of taking his call. We scoured the yard with our detectors, searching some of the area multiple times. Stephanie asked Kyle if he knew his neighbors, thinking that the ring may have flow over or through the fence. He did not know the neighbors well and it appeared they may not be home anyway. Then Stephaie asked if he had a ladder so that we could look over the fence, he only had a stepstool. Due to the lack of height in Stephanie I had to get on the stepstool to peer over the fence. Within a few seconds I spotted the ring laying in the mulch on the neighbor’s side of the fence. I got down off the stepstool and reached under the fence as Kyle guided me, I pulled a hand full of mulch to our side of the fence. That is when Stephanie used her pinpointer to locate the ring. TEAM WORK was the word for the day.
