A Frantic Search Turns to Triumph: Recovering a Golden Grill Lost in the Ocean Waves.
Yesterday, Dave received a desperate call from Griffin, a content creator filming a high-energy video at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura. In a bold action shot, Griffin sprinted into the Ventura ocean waves, diving headfirst over a crashing breaker.

After about 30 intense minutes, a promising signal cut through the noise – a solid hit amid the saltwater interference.

Kala called me to see if I could help her find her husbands lost wedding ring in their back yard. I always ask the usual questions like, “When did this happen? and “How did it end up in the yard and what actions were involved?, etc. She said her husband had tried to throw one half of a small spoiled watermelon from their back porch and into the small lake behind their apartment for the turtles to eat…but as he threw the melon he felt his wedding ring go flying out into the darkness as well. He immediately got his flashlight and started searching through the grass, but after 3 hours he gave up and went to his computer to order a metal detector. The next day he got his metal detector and tried searching the yard but being unfamiliar with how to properly operate the machine he ended up getting more frustrated. He then entered “Metal Detecting Service Orlando” on his phone and up popped one of my recent recoveries on theringfinders.com website. I arrived early the next day and Gabriel showed me exactly what happened. So I began my grid search down at the edge of the lake and within minutes I got the perfect signal. Gabriel was over whelmed and explained just how sentimental his wedding ring is to him and how thankful he was to have it back on his finger. How I thank God for allowing me to be a blessing to Gabriel and his dear wife. So…how can I help you? Call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

18k Yellow Gold Ring Lost In The Back Yard, Westbrook Estates Edmonton Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

       

Received a call from Kevin requesting my service to locate his 18k yellow gold wedding ring which he lost a couple of days prior while doing fall gardening with his wife in the backyard,

Kevin was working at the bottom of his yard when he found out his ring was not on his finger he search the area with his wife with no luck at all and thats when he needed some professional help to find his ring he Google searched and found The Ringfinders web site and called me,

Kevin explained to me he exchange gloves with his wife and that’s possible when his ring fell off his finger, also he mentioned that he had the lawn cut the next day and was concerned that his ring may have been picked up by the mower? I assured Kevin that it was highly unlikely the mower would pick it up,

Also Kevin had 8 bags of grass clippings and twigs and possible the ring could be in one of the bags, I agreed to meet up with Kevin on Wednesday evening.

I met up with Kevin at his home and he showed me where he was cutting and cleaning up his yard. His backyard had very steep slope to a ravine also the grass was already yellow which made the ring blend in with the terrain which it made impossible to find with a naked eye.

I search all the bags a couple of times to make sure the ring was not in them no ring was found then I proceeded to search at the bottom of the garden I was getting positive ringtones but it was not the tone I was listening for, then I heard a faint tone and Iron tone which made me stop and investigate this strange sound and yes there was Kevin’s ring being masked by an Iron object and covered with dead grass if I had not been thorough in my search that ring could have being missed forever,

Thank you Kevin for entrusting me to find your wedding ring

Broken Sprinkler Solenoid Buried in the Ground, Found in Calabash, NC

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

On Wednesday, Sept 10, 2025, I got a phone call from Jeff, owner of JDs Detectors, saying he had a gentleman, Kenneth in the store wanting to rent a metal detector. Jeff said Kenneth was trying to find a broken sprinkler solenoid in his yard. Jeff told Kenneth that instead of renting a detector to contact me to help. Kenneth agreed and said he’d call me the next day to set up a time for Friday. Thursday, when Kenneth called, we set up a time of 8 am on Friday.

Friday morning as I pulled into the driveway, Kenneth was coming out of his garage with a bag of mulch. We met and he walked me to the area where the solenoid was buried. He installed the sprinkler system himself, so he pretty much knew where the solenoid was. I turned on the Equinox 800 and tested the replacement solenoid. I had to make sure I could detect either the wire or the screws holding the plastic unit together. I had to switch the detector mode to park 2 but it came through loud and clear. I turned around, took a couple of steps and hit it. Kenneth took the red flag he had and as he stuck it in the ground, he made contact with the solenoid. He was going to dig it up a little later and replace it. So, unfortunately the only picture I got was the red flag sticking out of the ground me pointing to the flag in the ground.

Kenneth – Thank you for calling and letting me help find your solenoid.

Diamond Ring Recovered in Lake Geneva

 Bigfoot Beach Rescue

It was a typical Saturday on Geneva Lake in Wisconsin.  The temps were perfect for all sorts of fun on the water, including some treasure hunting with my seven-year-old son.  The plan was to drive out to Big Foot Beach State Park, and do some snorkeling and treasure hunting with my metal detector.  Using an underwater breathing device called a Nemo by Blu3, the diver is fed fresh air and can stay underwater (up to 10 feet deep) for quite a long time.  My son loves exploring the shallow depths, looking at fish, and searching for lost items.  

            No sooner had we loaded the car, a text came in asking for help with a lost ring.  A photo attachment showed some unknown shoreline.  I looked up from my phone, told my son, and watched disappointment begin to creep into his expression.  

“Don’t worry, buddy, we’re still going treasure hunting.  The ring search can wait.”

Before pulling out of the driveway, I sent a quick text back asking where the ring was lost.  We soon arrived at Bigfoot Beach State Park and began to get out our gear when my watch alerted me of a text reply.  

It simply said, “Big Foot Beach”

I stood in the open lot and dialed the number.  When Kegan answered I explained that I was in the Big Foot Beach State Park parking lot.  His reply, “I think I’m looking at you.”

Looking up from my phone, I saw a young man and woman walking towards me.

The timing of everything was uncanny!

Before long the search was on.  Kegan’s initial text reminded me that I once searched for a ring for him at Williams Bay beach on Geneva Lake (to no success) and that this one had more diamonds.  Okay, let’s get this diamond ring back, I thought.  Kegan and Christina explained that while returning from paddle boarding the ring fell off of Christina’s finger less than 15 feet from shore.

Although the water was rather clear, the area was very trashy.  I grid-searched the area for at least an hour, digging up lots of pull tabs, pier bolts, a ring with a prominent capital letter M as the design, a handful of pennies, and nails.  Frustrated, I decided to expand my search area a bit, just in case. Nothing.

Needing a break, I came back to the shore to also check on my son.  Kegan was kind enough to keep an eye on him, and I could see they had built a small pond on the shoreline and had also found some trash treasures of their own.  

Christina looked rather deflated, and I told her the area was very trashy, so there were lots of signals to dig.  My netted bag was quite heavy with junk, so I proceeded to unload it in order to return for more searching.  As an aside, I commented to Kegan and Christina that I did actually find a ring, not Christina’s, and thought my son would like to see it.  

I continued to throw down soda cans, rotting pieces of sheet metal, and long pier bolts until I could find the ring in my bag.  

I heard the gasp before I saw her face.  Christina shouts, “That’s my ring!”  

I’m not sure who was more surprised, myself or Christina.  The ring is a flat, capital letter M made up of small diamonds.  How I missed learning this detail was clearly my own fault.  In my mind’s eye I was looking for a diamond engagement ring, perhaps with a few extra diamonds on the side.  The capital letter M ring was clearly off my radar.

Needless to say, Christina and Kegan were relieved and grateful to have the ring returned.   It felt great to return yet another precious item, and I’m thankful for the humbling lesson of knowing clearly what to be looking for ahead of time. 

Once Kegan and Christina departed, my son got to spend an hour or so diving for treasures himself.  He found a pair of sunglasses hiding in the seaweed, some sea glass, interesting shells, and his first silver earring.  

The sun was setting when we crept out of the water, and although we shivered walking back to the car, it was a great day of treasure hunting.

A Recent Success Story: Michael’s Lost Wedding Ring in Ventura, CA.
Recently, Dave received a call from Michael, who lost his wedding ring just two weeks after his wedding while exercising at a Ventura park. Michael had placed his ring in his shorts pocket for safekeeping while using the pull-up bars and doing sit-ups on the grass.

Dave rushed to the park and began his search near the pull-up bars, suspecting the ring might have fallen into the wood chips. Using his Minelab Manticore, he detected a strong double-tap signal.

Citadel Ring Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This Citadel Ring search started on Sep 9th, 2025, just before 3 pm when I got a text message from Anna Grace saying, “Hello Jim, I found your info on Ring Finders. My husband just lost his Citadel ring in the surf about 18 inches deep. We are vacationing at the Myrtle Beach Travel Park. If you felt like you had the time to help us look, we would really appreciate it, but honestly it could be gone forever.” I took a quick look at the tide table and saw that low tide was in 30 minutes. I called Anna Grace and got a few more details and told her I was on my way. I also ask her to send me the address, which she did.

I arrived in less than 15 minutes and met Anna Grace’s husband, Taylor at the street entrance. I followed him to the house where they were staying. I parked my car and jumped into his golf cart and headed for the beach. When we got to the beach, I asked Taylor what the north and south boundaries were in relation to where he was. I started at the north boundary and did a perpendicular to the beach, east/west grid search out to about thigh to hip deep. I had my Equinox 800 and knew, from another Citadel ring search I had about a week ago, that I’d be looking for a 20/21 number on the VDI (visual display indicator). I got one target, which turned out to be a pull tab. When I reached the southern boundary, I stayed out in waist deep water and worked a parallel grid search working my way towards shore. I didn’t get any signals on that search. So, I decided to start over and extend both north and south boundaries and went back to an east/west grid search. As I started at the southern boundary, I was watching Taylor as I searched and I could tell by his body language, he was losing hope. Got to the end of the north side and kept going. By now the tide had turned and I was now in waist to almost chest deep water. As I started my second or third turn back out in the water – BA BOOM!!! I looked at the numbers and there was the 20-21 I was looking for. I knew I had Taylor’s ring. I took a scoop of sand and washed it out in the surf and heard the clang of a ring inside the scoop. I looked in and saw his beautiful ring at the bottom of the scoop. I looked at Taylor and nodded towards shore. I wasn’t going to keep him in suspense any longer and stopped knee deep and held the scoop up so he could see inside. He saw his ring, reached in and grabbed it and confirmed the engraving on the inside of the ring. His body language changed quickly. We rode back up to the house and Anna Grace came out and was so excited. I love putting smiles back on the faces and getting an item back where it belongs.

Taylor and Anna Grace – Thank you for allowing me to help find Taylor’s lost treasure. Have a safe trip home and I wish you two all the best.

Silver Ring Lost in Bushes, Found and Returned Little River, SC

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

About 2-3 weeks ago the next-door neighbor Jim, knocked on the door. He said that Taylor, a friend of his daughter, had lost a special silver ring in the yard. I grabbed my Equinox 800 out of the garage and made my way next door. Taylor was out there, and I asked her what happened. She explained that as she was walking to her car, she was running into spiders hanging down out of the tree. As she was swinging at the spiders to get them out of the way, her ring flew off her finger. I turned on the detector and searched the front yard with no luck. Unfortunately, there was a bush that was maybe 5 feet tall and very thick right in the line of fire. I searched under, over and behind the bush the best that I could and still couldn’t find it.

Well, I got busy, and it slipped my mind until I was standing in my driveway, and it hit me. I grabbed my pin pointer and set the detecting distance to about 3 inches. I went over to the bush, sat on the ground and started reaching as far as I could under the bush. About a quarter of the way around the bush, I stuck the pin pointer under the bush and got a solid tone. Wasn’t sure what I hit but it was metal. I reached up under the bush, felt around and felt her ring. Just as I found it, the neighbor, Jim pulled into his driveway. He called Taylor and gave her the good news. She was excited and said she thought the ring was gone for good. I gave Jim the ring and am waiting for Taylor to pick it up and get a picture of her smile.

Lost Gold Nugget Ring at Nimitz Beach Kalaeloa…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Leila asking, ” I was wondering if you could help me out.  I lost my ring at the beach today and need a metal detector to find it.  I’m pretty sure the one we bought was cheaply made and need someone with experience too.  The ring was passed down to me and I feel devastated that it’s lost.  I’m located in the Kapolei area and lost it in the sand last night.”  I called Leila and I told her I would have to see what traffic was like and I would try to grab my gear and head out during lunch.  Thankfully,  traffic was a breeze and I got to Nimitz Beach in record time.  Leila & her sister Jade were two minutes behind me.  When we got to the search area Jade drew a box in the sand where they thought the ring may have fallen out of a beach bag Leila’s boyfriend Jah was attending to.  It only took 5 minutes but no ring.  Only a few lead weights and two quarters.  I asked Leila and Jade where else did Jah go so we can trace his path.  It was down the beach in both directions.  I hunted the westerly direction first as it was the shortest distance.  No ring!  I then went in the easterly direction.  Thankfully not much trash.  Suddenly about 20 yards from the original search area I got a booming tone on the Manticore.  In one scoop a chunky Gold Nugget ring appeared.  Jade wasn’t sure about the ring so we called Leila who had taken her baby back to the car.  Jade sent her a pic and she confirmed it was the Gold Nugget ring she lost.  We met halfway,  near a picnic area for the return.  Leila was obviously relieved and Jah was out of the dog house!  Aloha to Leila, Jade & Jah!

Lost Ring in the Yard – Found in Under 10 Minutes!

The other evening, Serée was out in her yard playing with her energetic puppy when the unexpected happened—her cherished ring slipped off and disappeared into the grass. At first, she thought it would be easy to spot. She raked through the grass, walked slowly barefoot hoping to feel it, and searched every inch of the area. She was even able to narrow it down to about a 10 x 10 foot section of her yard, but the ring was still nowhere to be found.

Frustrated but determined, Serée turned to the internet for help. That’s when she discovered TheRingFinders.com and reached out for assistance.

When I arrived, I grabbed my detector and got to work. With her narrowed search area, it only took about 10 minutes before the signal came through loud and clear—and there it was, hiding just beneath the grass. The look of relief on Serée’s face when I placed the ring back in her hand was priceless.

Stories like this are why I love being part of The Ring Finders network. Sometimes a ring may seem lost forever, but with the right tools and a little experience, it can be back where it belongs in no time.
