Custom Made Wedding Ring Recovered at Honeymoon Island

Item recovered on July 4th, 2023

I began metal detecting around the time of the pandemic as a way to get out of the house for some exercise. I wasn’t a ring finder – I didn’t even know there was such a thing!

After getting through the learning curve – finding lots of trash, to identifying coins, then targeting jewelry and really learning my machine, I stumbled upon a post on Craigslist at the beginning of June, 2023. A post that another metal detectorist made on behalf of the gentleman, Jacques, who had lost his ring.

I felt this would be a good challenge – like a scavenger hunt with a metal detector and a chance to test my skill! I reached out to the person who made the post, who shared additional details with me and I was off on the hunt.

Jacques was an older gent who lost his ring in the water at Honeymoon Island on day 1 of his vacation. He spent the rest of his time trying to find his lost custom-made wedding ring, even renting a metal detector himself. He had seen another person metal detecting there the day the ring was lost and others had tried to find it, with no luck. Hope seemed to be running out that the ring was either found by someone or claimed by the sea forever.

I searched for this ring on 3 separate occasions, twice in June and finally found it on July 4th, 2023. It was a perfect day for metal detecting – beautiful weather and calm water. Jacques’ ring was the very first target I hit that day, but I didn’t recognize it as the one due to the photo that was provided and the condition of the ring from being in the water for over a month.

After I got home and cleaned up the ring, I consulted with some local friends – people with much more experience than I had and we determined it indeed was the ring Jacques had lost!

What came next would drastically change my metal detecting “hobby” to one of helping people recover lost items as a ring finder: the phone call to Jacques to let him know his ring had been found.

Words cannot described how happy Jacques was to hear the news after giving up hope his ring was lost forever! I had the ring packaged and overnighted to Jacques and he confirmed receiving it the next day.

I joined the ring finders group a few months later and truly enjoy helping reunite people with their lost items! I hope to be able to continue doing this as long as I am able.

Missing Ring Recovered – Reposted from Facebook page.

 THE MISSING FLOTILLA RING HAS BEEN RECOVERED!!! 💍💍💍
Prayers have been answered!
It’s been a very long and emotional week. A kind samaritan loaned me her metal detector and after hours of searching with no luck, I hit the internet for help. I was able to find a website called The Ring Finders. Feeling apprehensive, but desperate about it, I sent a text to a couple specialists in Minnesota. Within moments, Paul texted me back saying he was loading up and would be to Mille Lacs within 2 hours.
I got him familiarized with the area and on day one he spent 4 hours looking. No luck. He was such an incredible, positive human that he reassured me, “Don’t worry! It hasn’t gone anywhere! It’s here.”
Day 2 he came up again, we both searched for hours, coming up empty handed. He was still positive – “don’t worry, we will find it!”.
Day 3 my husband and I took our pontoon out to the exact spot we were at during Flotilla – about 45 feet from what the GPS coordinates said on my Navionics App and where we were looking (sorry fisherman, GPS lies!). Paul was kind enough to loan us a metal detector until he came back out, so we searched for another few hours. No luck, except for a couple cigar stickers from our group – we knew we were close! I text Paul that night to tell him our findings, explaining we were off by about 45 feet, but I could help get him out to our spot when he came up again.
Day 4, Paul texts me, “are you going to be around today?”, of course, I was ready to head out and look again for the ring. Being the positive person he is, he said “are you ready to hear what a ring sounds like”. Of course! Let’s find some gold! Moments later he texts a photo of my ring in his hand!!!!
The cheering squad on the beach is going wild (you know who you are❤️). I’m going crazy, sprinting through the shallows to hug this amazing person who has found my missing ring!
I cannot thank Paul from Ring Finders enough, he is a true angel on Earth!!! If you have anything missing in this lake PLEASE CALL HIM!!!!! His tenacity, dedication and positivity is commendable. TOP NOTCH!!!
To everyone that helped during Flotilla that afternoon THANK YOU. What a call to action and I am so grateful you took time to help. To everyone else that offered advise and suggestions on my previous post, thank you also.
God is good!

Lost wedding ring, found in Russian River

  • from Santa Rosa (California, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Russian River adventures in Healsburg Ca. That one of their adventures lost his wedding ring in the river on their boat ride down the river. I told Max to give them my number and have them give me a call to see what I can do for them. Melissa, the wife of Nick. Who had lost his ring at some point but was not exactly sure what location it had fell off in the river. So I explained to them that we can meet in the morning and head out on the river first thing. Because getting there as soon as possible and getting in the right location Are too big factors in a successful recovery. Larry, the owner of Russian River adventures was kind enough to loan us two boats. So we set off to start the search and stopped at a few locations where he thought it might have fallen off while helping his wife and her boat. I searched and they looked as well as they could in the areas but did not find anything. So Nic had mentioned to me that he swam about the last hundred yards to the pick up location. That seemed like the likeliest place for him to have lost his ring.. In my experience.  And I was starting to feel bad that I was not turning up anything for him. So as we got to the very end of the river and fatigue was setting in because the water was getting stronger and we had been looking for hours. I wanted  to take a break. But I had one last signal that I wanted to check before getting out and taking a break. And bingo it was Nicks ring. I called him over and he went down and grabbed his ring and put it on his hand and stuck his hand up above the water. To show us that he had got it..  We all let out a whoop and yell. High-fives and hugs all around. And I was so relieved that I was able to return their precious ring. Overall, it was a great time. Melissa and Nic are really great people. And I was happy to be of service and return the ring. Thank you, Melissa and Nick for your generous reward.

Barnstable, MA Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Found, and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 11, 2024

From my home town in Connecticut, Arman was enjoying the Cape Cod’s good beach going weather with a Frisbee in hand, the sandy beach, family and friends when he somehow came to be missing his wedding band. No one moved, all looked very intensely for the lost piece of metal that held 11 years of memories. Not wanting to give up, Arman’s wife Mina, “Googled” for someone to help find the wayward ring. As often happens my name came up in a link with TheRingFinders.com and a text was sent my way.

I was out and enjoying a dinner with my wife and a long time metal detecting friend Eleanor. I did not check my text messages until the next morning. I answered it and was on my to the the beach for another recovery attempt. I spent more time talking with Arman about our home town than it took me to locate his ring.

My first good signal was a coin that I had Arman’s son remove from my scoop and to keep as a treasure from Cape Cod. Later he also was very grateful when I gave him one of my TheRingFinders.com cards for him to keep.

Back to the search, my second good target, which I was sure, was Arman’s ring was about 5 minutes later, just beyond the original suggested area to search. I took a picture then had Arman remove the ring from my scoop which he did with no hesitation, brushed the sand off and replaced it on his finger. More picture, stories, and old and current information about our home town was a welcome change from metal detecting stories although a few bits were part of our conversation. It all ended with a great feeling for the Cape and desire to return next year with smiles that will last through the coming year.

I got a call yesterday morning from Taylor who had a mishap with her ring while assisting at A-Frame Surf Shop’s summer surf camp at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria. She had placed her ring inside a clipboard for safe keeping only to have it disappear while someone got into the clipboard! The ring had huge sentimental value as she had gotten the ring while on a trip to Morocco so it was imperative we recover the ring and get it back.

A half-hour into the search and her good luck ring was right back where it belonged, on Taylor’s finger.

Engagement Ring Lost in Sand at Park in Pasadena the Day Before…Found and Joyfully Returned.

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service For You if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, please CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, CALL NOW!  310-953-5268

Adam contacted me about a ring his wife had lost the day before at local park. She had taken her child to the park to play, and fearing the loss of her ring, she took it off, and put it “safely” in her pocket. She also had her phone in that pocket, and her glasses too, both of which she removed in and out multiple times while her child was playing. Knowing that time is the enemy of a successful recovery, and that a day had already passed, I encouraged a search the same day. He agreed, and said his wife would meet me at the park to show me where to look.

When I arrived Stephani was waiting for me, and after some arrangements with the staff at the park, took me to the first of two areas she believed the loss occurred. I had my 11 inch coil on the detector, but brought my 6 inch coil just to be sure I could search everything. I went over the first area with some difficulty because of some of the metal around the benches and boundaries of the sand pit, and didn’t find the ring. we then went over to the other area which turned out to be a little more difficult, so I changed to the 6 inch coil, and was able to search the spot extensively. Stephani asked what I was wanting to hear, that we could search the first area again. I wanted to go over with the 6 inch coil to be sure I could get in close to the spots that had built in metal. I was working in close to one of the benches, when I received a nice solid tone, put in my pin pointer, and found her ring. When I showed her, there an outpouring of emotion, and she ran off to show her husband, and tell him the good news. It is so fun to be able to turn someone’s broken heart into a joyful one, and in that, this day was a success.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible!

Some of the most common are parks, beaches, creeks and even your own backyard. If you have lost your ring or any other precious item, “Don’t Wait – Call Now.”

Will and family were visiting Anna Maria Island from Jackson, Wyoming over the 4th of July holiday. They were spending a Sunday morning on the beach at Bean Point. Will was walking along the beach with his feet just touching the waters edge looking for shells with his kids. As he bent over to retrieve a shell his wedding ring slipped off his finger and onto the sand. Before he could reach down and pick it up, the water washed over it and it disappeared. They all looked for it but could not find it. Just before they had to leave to go home, they found SRARC ring finders on google and contacted Joe Szemer. Joe called Mike and the next morning Mike headed to the place that Will said he lost it. After about 10 minutes of searching Mike found the ring. SRARC is happy to have had the opportunity to save the day for Will and family. The ring will soon be on it’s way to Wyoming and a reunion with Will.

Dennis, MA Platinum Ring Lost in Sand, Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 8, 2024

While sitting at home sipping on an iced tea the phone rang. Carolyn, in a desperate voice, asked if I could help find her engagement ring? Of course I said “yes”. She and several friends were on a private beach with no public parking. OK, I could park in her mother’s driveway and walk to the beach. With that said, I was off for what I hoped to be a short search in the mid day sun.

When I arrived at the beach I was told how the loss occurred. Carolyn had put her rings in her pocket. When she stood up to remove her beach cover up so she could soak up some warn sun’s rays she saw her ring fall gently into the fluffy white sand and disappear.

This should be a quick and easy search and it was. In less than a minute Carolyn was wearing her ring again. The Thank Yous and taking of pictures followed. As usual I asked how it came to be that she called TheRingFinders for help. As it happened last night there was a woman in the group that had a story of how her husband had lost his ring and I had found it a couple of years ago. The word is getting around as our success continues to put smiles on so many faces.

Lost Wedding Ring Loon Point Beach Carpinteria Found by Expert Metal Detector

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

I got a text early Friday morning sharing with me how a wedding ring had gotten lost in the sand at Loon Point Beach north of Carpinteria CA. It’s a familiar story, in an effort to take care of their rings prior to swimming, they are taken off and then stored in a pocket or the edge of a towel. For Michael, he had done just that, he had placed his wedding ring in the cup holder of his beach chair so he wouldn’t lose it in the ocean when he went swimming.

As the day went on he had completely forgotten about his ring and he and his wife packed things up and went back home oblivious to the fact that his ring had somehow bounced out of the cup holder somewhere on the beach or path leading back to the parking lot. This is where Ventura County Ringfinders stepped in.

I got to the beach and after talking with the couple I went to the area they were sitting at yesterday and begin to grid. I immediately found a quarter and a dime which was good news as I am always worried another detectorist might find it before I do and given that I found the coins I knew no one had been through here.

On my 3rd pass of the area I got a solid mid tone and I was pretty sure I had the ring in the scoop and a couple of shakes of the scoop proved me correct.

Michael was getting his ring back.

If you ever find yourself in this predicament don’t panic, call or text Dave, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties ringfinder at 805-290-5009 and I will come out and see you get reunited with your ring, necklace or pendant. Time is not on your side so reach out as soon as possible. Take pictures of the area as our minds sometimes forget the details when we are upset or anxious.

If you need the services of a Ringfinder in Fillmore, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Port Hueneme, Oxnard, Ventura, Camarillo, Carpinteria, Ojai, Santa Paula, Santa Clarita, Santa Barbara, Montecito or Summerland call or text at 805-290-5009.
