Lost Ring Found & Returned – Truckee River, Tahoe City

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

Lost Wedding Ring Found and Returned, to the Owner, by the Lost Ring Recovery Tahoe Team (Paul, the River-King, and metal detector specialist—Trevor Oxborrow).
I was contacted by Megan, on August 10th, requesting a lost wedding ring search in the Truckee River. The ring was lost when her husband fell out of his raft—in the rapids—just before the River Ranch take-out area.
The next morning I searched for several hours with no success. The strong current made the search slow and very difficult. I decided to wait until after Labor Day when the river water flow gets reduced.
On my next search, right after Labor Day, I happened to meet-up with Paul, the River King—my go-to river recovery partner.
I described the ring we were looking for, and he said “I already found that ring”.
I immediately texted a photo to Megan. She texted back “That’s it! I can’t believe it!”
The wedding ring, lost for over 30 days underwater in the Truckee River, was on its way back home.
Another successful recovery by the Lost Ring Recovery Tahoe Team.

Lost ring recovered from dog walk

Contact:

I had a call the other day from a lady who had lost her grandmothers wedding ring. Her grandmother was married in 1950, so this was a very special ring.

We met on her dog walk, which was a wooded track with lots of undergrowth each side. the walk was probably quarter of a mile, so quite a search. The track was surprisingly not too trashy, but as with most ring searches, they are normally on the surface, so a detuned detector was necessary.

After nearly two hours of searching, we were nearing the end of the track, and we were both beginning to feel the hope of finding the ring was fading. But then, a beautiful clear tone was delivered! A quick brush aside with my foot of some leaf litter, and there it was, a very nice gold ring smiling at me.

Another very happy and emotional owner of a very special lost ring now recovered.

Lost 18K Gold and Diamonds Earring at Naia Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Earring hunt began on 26 June when I got a text from Nicole who was on vacation from Laguna Hills, California stating, “I lost a pair of gold earrings on the west side of the island in the Ko Olina lagoon”.  I responded I was flying home from San Diego and could hunt early the next morning.  Kai who covers for me while I’m away also got the word and started a search immediately.  The search area was huge and Kai was unsuccessful.  I was also unsuccessful the next morning during the low tide.  Then on 8 September during another hunt in Naia Lagoon I got a whisper of a hit and after a few scoops there was Nicole’s Earring in the scoop.  As you can see in the pic its back home with her in California.  I will do my best to sniff out the other one.  Aloha to Nicole!

Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Pinckney Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

The Blue Swing….

Is Austin’s daughter’s favorite swing, and when she’s in it and dad is pushing her the sky’s the limit. About 2 weeks ago as a major storm pushed thru south-east Michigan, as they were playing on the swing… they suddenly had to take cover. After the storm had passed Austin noticed his ring missing. With the high winds and pounding rain he had no idea where it went. Searching for it was like swinging into the wind. Things were in full swing as I started a grid search near the swing and quite a few feet away, I got a great signal. Digging down thru the sand in the play area revealed Austin’s ring! He was not home yet so I texted him a pic of the ring and he couldn’t believe it. His wife came out to greet me and take some pics. Now that’s what I call getting back into the swing of things!

Sea Isle City, NJ Lost Phone Recovered From 4 Inches Under the Sand

 

A phone can disappear incredibly fast on a sandy beach.

 

One minute it is in your hand, pocket, or next to your beach chair. The next minute, it can be buried beneath the sand and nearly impossible to see.

 

That was the situation Caitlin faced during a beach day in Sea Isle City, New Jersey.

 

A Beach Search Comes Up Empty

 

Caitlin and her friends realized that her phone was missing and began searching the beach themselves.

 

They looked around the area but couldn’t find it.

 

Searching for a small electronic device in loose beach sand can be challenging. Once an item gets covered with even a few inches of sand, it may be completely hidden from view.

 

While they were trying to figure out what to do next, another beachgoer recommended John at Ring Finders South Jersey.

 

That recommendation ended up saving the day.

 

John Arrives in Sea Isle City

 

Caitlin contacted me, and I made the trip to the beach.

 

I arrived approximately 20 minutes after being contacted.

 

After getting the details about where Caitlin believed the phone had been lost, I began working the area with a systematic grid search.

 

The goal was simple: methodically cover the suspected area rather than repeatedly searching the same spots.

 

It didn’t take long.

 

I received a signal from beneath the sand and started checking the target.

 

Then came the good news.

 

The phone was approximately four inches beneath the sand.

 

The search was successful, and Caitlin’s phone was recovered.

 

Why Calling Quickly Can Help

 

Beach conditions are constantly changing. People walk across the sand, beach chairs move, wind shifts loose sand, and tides can alter the area near the water.

 

That’s why I recommend contacting a professional lost-item recovery service as soon as you realize something is missing.

 

Whether you’ve lost a cell phone, wedding ring, engagement ring, jewelry, watch, keys, or another valuable item, don’t assume it’s gone forever.

 

A systematic search with professional metal detecting equipment may be able to locate it.

Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered from an Oklahoma Lake After Five-Hour Search

  • from Norman (Oklahoma, United States)
Contact:

An ATV ride, about five hours of underwater searching, and a 14k white gold diamond wedding ring back with its owner. This Oklahoma lake recovery took some persistence—and the owner’s quick thinking helped give us a place to start.

Immediately after losing her wedding ring, she marked the GPS location on her phone. She also photographed nearby landmarks and the water level so we could identify the area when we arrived.

Those details were valuable. A phone’s GPS pin doesn’t pinpoint a ring on the lake bottom, but combined with photographs and the owner’s account, it helps narrow the search area.

Reaching the location and searching the water

Access required an ATV to reach the search location. Once there, I began the underwater search.

Even with the owner’s careful documentation, this wasn’t a quick recovery. After about five hours of searching, I found her ring in approximately five feet of water.

The video captures the moment I surfaced and held it up: a beautiful 14k white gold diamond wedding ring, back above water and ready to go home.

The ring has now been returned to its owner. That’s the part that makes a long search worthwhile.

What to do if you lose a ring in the water

This owner’s response is a useful example. If you lose a ring, save as much information as you safely can:

  • Mark the location on your phone. Note whether the pin marks the loss location or where you were when you saved it.
  • Photograph landmarks and the shoreline. Wide photos help establish the area; closer photos preserve useful details.
  • Document the water level and approximate depth.
  • Write down what happened while it’s fresh. Include what you were doing and where you last remember wearing the ring.
  • Explain how to access the location. A search may require a boat, ATV, or property owner’s permission.

If you didn’t get a pin or photos, you can still reach out. We can start with what you remember.

LOST ANDROID PHONE IN POND (FOUND) – UPPER MARLBORO, MD

  • from Leesburg (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

FAMILY PHOTOS RECOVERY ❤️‍🩹 I received a call from Zino on behalf of his wife, who dropped her Android phone into a pond while walking across a wooden deck, taking photos of her children. The phone slipped out of her hand and bounced off the deck into the dark water. I loaded my diving gear, drove an hour to the location, and we discussed where she believed the phone was dropped. In a little over an hour, I was able to recover the phone, it was one of the darkest (funkiest) water dives I’ve ever done. The water stinks and I hope I don’t end up in the ER. 😂 praying that after some drying time and expert advice they’re able to get the phone working and recover hundreds of family photos.
