A Ring Found In Brooklyn: Platinum Wedding Band Recovered in Under an Hour!

Another Ring Down! Brooklyn Job: Platinum Wedding Band Recovered in Under an Hour

Wanna hear how I spent my morning?

Last night around 10pm, I get this message from a guy named Alex:

“Hi Reuben! Got your info from theringfinders.com. I lost my platinum wedding ring playing volleyball at Domino Park in Williamsburg. It’s inscribed and all, and if your detector can find platinum, I wanna talk to you!”

We set up a 9am search. Alex couldn’t make it to the court but sent over a great description and layout of the area. It was a nice morning — overcast, a little cool, and not nearly as brutal as it could’ve been in August. Perfect weather for a little treasure hunting.

Domino Park has one court — sandy, and full of chatter from fences and nearby metal, but I came prepared. I fired up the Nokta Legend, notched out the iron, and took my time listening for that sweet, soft platinum tone.

About 45 minutes in, I got a clean, shallow signal near the back left corner of the court — where most players rotate through. Grabbed my sifter, scooped just the top layer of sand, and rescanned the spot. Silence. I shook the sifter and… bam, there it was. A platinum wedding band, sitting right on top, just waiting to be found.

Inscriptions matched. Game over.

Alex was working nearby, so I swung by and hand-delivered it to him. No extra charge for delivery 😎

Gotta say — every ring is different, but I’ve been doing enough of these to know when I’m onto something. You still need patience, the right gear, and a good set of ears, but man — it’s always a good feeling when that ring hits daylight again.

If you lose something — don’t panic, and don’t go digging holes in the sand like a maniac. Just call me.

Lost Silver Wedding Band Regina Saskatchewan Found

  • from Moose Jaw (Saskatchewan, Canada)

Logan and his father were adding gravel to his rear driveway and spreading it with a front end loader and shovel during the work, Logan noticed that his wedding band was missing.  Logan also mentioned that he recently lost some weight, and the ring was fitting very loose.  So perfect scenario for a ring to slid off.

I started searching where Logan was laying the gravel in his driveway.  I had a lot of junk signals.  There were a couple of iffy signals in about 5 to 6 inches deep.  I moved to the next location where Logan was reworking the right side of the driveway.  On my fist pass here I got a solid signal 2 inches down using my pin pointer to find the target I brushed the gravel away and the silver ring appeared. He was so happy that it was found to say the least, I love mt hobby.

Thank you, Logan, on the opportunity to find your gold wedding ring.

lost your Ring/keys/cell phones don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service Ben 1-306-630-3016.

Heirloom Ring Lost & Found: by Rob Ellis, Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

 

While walking his dog, Arlo took off his ring and put it in his pocket for safekeeping. When his dog suddenly ran after a deer, he chased it through the hay field. After he caught the dog, Arlo realized his ring was missing. He called and told me and explained what happened and that the ring was one of the few things he’d inherited from his recently deceased mother.

After a 90-minute drive, I met with Arlo, and he showed me exactly where he traveled through the field. Using my feet to crush down the vegetation, and laying out my rope grid, I began to search for the ring.

 

After two hours of intense search in the heat, I found the ring!

 

For my fellow detectorists:

Target ID for this 9.4-gram, silver and garnet ring: Deus 2=98, Equinox 900=85.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Recovered on Pass-a-Grille Beach

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)

Item recovered August 4, 2025.

Peggy had sent me a text at around 5:30 on Sunday, August 3rd about a ring she lost in the water at Pass-a-Grille Beach. She has been here on vacation from Kansas, enjoying the beach with her family. They went in about waist-deep and she felt the ring slip off her finger into the water. Her daughter who was near her tried to catch it, but felt it bump off her hand to the sand below.

I didn’t see the text until later in the evening. By then, it was already dark and I wouldn’t be able to get there until after work the following day. Peggy mentioned that she had reached out to several people, and that someone from the Suncoast Research & Recovery Club (SRARC) team was going to attempt to find the ring in the morning. I told her to let me know if they weren’t successful in locating the ring that I was available to search.

I received another text from Peggy in the afternoon the following day saying that one of the SRARC members had searched in the morning, but wasn’t able to find it and so I told her I would be happy to head out after work to search.

The waves were large in the evening, but because the loss location was waist deep, I didn’t have to venture too far into the water. Peggy had forwarded me the gps coordinates of where they were on the beach, which helped narrow the search area even further.

I started searching about knee deep and worked my way to waist deep water. I was finding small bits of eroded aluminum “can slaw”, which is common to find at this beach.

About 30 minutes into the search, I came across a solid signal which was higher than the aluminum scrap I had been finding. I took a scoop at the target, sifted the sand out and what I saw was a beautiful gold ring looking back at me!

I texted a photo of the ring to Peggy, who immediately met me at the beach to get her ring back!

Gold Sword Charm Found on Fort De Soto North Beach

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)

Item recovered August 2, 2025.

This recovery was another where I happened to be at the right place at the right time. The last time this happened was exactly one month ago when I found a ring for Quinn on St. Pete Beach.

I was out enjoying the perfect detecting conditions on Fort De Soto’s North Beach on a beautiful summer Saturday. I had already been out there for several hours and was getting tired, thirsty and ready to head back home. As I was walking back along the water’s edge, I was approached by a young man who had asked if my detector could find something that was made of gold. His sister had lost a charm off her necklace a little ways down the beach and her entire family was searching for it for the past 15-20 minutes with no luck.

I was led to the area where the charm was lost. English wasn’t the family’s primary language, and I could only understand that the item lost was a small gold sword from a necklace. It was lost along the water’s edge, where waves were coming and going. I wasn’t sure how large the item was, but it was possible the waves had pulled the item deeper into the water or buried it in sand.

The pressure to find this item was more intense than usual, with 8 people watching me work back and forth in the shallow water. I would find a target, and they would crowd around to see if it was the missing item, only to see it was a bottle cap. This happened again when I located a pull tab in the area. I moved up higher into the wet sand and got a solid low signal. When a wave washed over the area, I thought I saw a glimmer of gold, so I dropped to a knee and pulled out my pinpointer instead of using my scoop.

My pin pointer immediately identified the item’s location just below the sand. I dug in with my fingers and saw gold. It was the lost sword charm they had been searching for!

Gold Heart-Shaped Locket Recovered at Belleair Causeway Boat Ramp

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)

Item recovered July 31, 2025.

Mikey had reached out to the Dunedin Ring Finder in the evening about a lost gold heart-shaped locket. Steve was busy at another recovery search and reached out for assistance. It was getting late in the evening and Mikey was still at the location to show where the item was lost. I knew time was short before darkness would arrive so I gathered my equipment and set out on the 35-minute drive to the boat ramp.

I called Mikey on the way to get more details on the loss. He explained that earlier in the day, his girlfriend, Ryann had been in the water at the dog beach teaching her Great Dane how to swim. In the process, the dog’s paw had caught her gold necklace, breaking it and the charm had fallen off into the water. Fortunately, the gold chain got caught up in her swim suit and never fell into the water. All that was missing was the gold locket which slipped off the chain.

I arrived at the location and Mikey showed me to the area where the locket was lost. The water in the channel was dark, murkey and loaded with small pieces of metal from fishing weights, to bottle caps and pull tabs. Due to the small size of the item, it seemed as though this recovery could be a challenge, especially since I only had an hour or two of daylight remaining.

The search started in the shallow water and I worked my way down to a drop-off into the channel approximately waist-deep. Because the search are was narrowed considerably, I dug at every non-iron target I heard. I must have been on my 14th to 15th item when I pulled up my scoop from the water and noticed the obvious glow of the golden heart resting atop the silt. The item had been found!

Unique Gold Ring Recovered in South Tampa

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)

Item recovered July 10, 2025.

I received a text from Tracy in the evening of July 9th asking for help locating a white gold “link” style ring with diamonds that was lost in the back yard throwing a frisbee for the dog. Despite searching the area where the ring disappeared, it had not been located that evening. We agreed to a time to search for the missing ring the following evening after work.

The back yard wasn’t very large and it was easy to see the area that was searched for the missing ring. I powered up the metal detector and started working around the area that had been searched. It only took a couple minutes to get a very promising signal that revealed the missing ring.

Due to the ring’s unique shape, it had “collapsed” into a small object that was hidden below the blades of grass and was very difficult to locate with the naked eye. Tracy was thrilled to have the ring back!

If you have a lost an item in your yard in the Tampa area, please call or text me to schedule a search!

Yarmouth, MA: One Year to Find and Return a Ring by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 18, 2025 It was on July 27, 2024 that I received a text requesting help finding a lost ring.

“Good morning! My son lost his wedding ban in the water on Smugglers Beach in South Yarmouth this past Sat. He was about waist high when he believes it must have slipped off. Is this something that could be found? It is a gold band and I think it was around 2pm that he lost the ring. Thank you! Jennifer (mother)“

As luck (good or bad) had it I agreed to help and arranged for myself and two other detectorists, Leighton and Jim) to go and search the next low tide. Well the water was quite rough and after a couple of hours in the water without results the search shifted to the dry sand again without good results. This could only mean one of two things. One, we did not pass our detectors’ coil over the ring or it was not there, unlikely in this case.

I went back to the area when the water calmed down on several occasions, never giving up hope it was still somewhere and could be found. It happened 51 weeks later when I was in the water chin deep when my detector alerted me of a metal object below its coil. One scoop and you bet, it was the ring sitting all alone at the bottom of my scoop. After a ¼ mile hike back to the parking area, putting on dry shoes I was on my way home to contact the owner.

A search of my records one had the original E-mail from Jennifer. I called her to verify that the ring was her son’s. “YES, I be right over, I live about a mile away” and she was. I handed over the ring with a promise to get a photo of her son with the ring for the Book of Smiles.

It was a really great day for Matt not only did he get his long lost wedding band back but a new addition to his family. It seems Matt was at the hospital waiting on the the arrival of his first son Arthur, aka Arty when I called his mother about finding the ring. Arty was named after his Mom’s Dad who passed when she was 2. And now his happy parents have the wedding band back and a lesson about never giving up to pass onto Arty. What a great way to have a wonderful day! Congratulations!
