Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in Oyster Bay, Found and Returned Murrell’s Inlet SC

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

This is Part 2 of 2 which started when I was called and found another Yellow Gold Wedding band for Charlie and Renee. It just so happened that when I was there, I found out that Charlie’s brother-in-law, Cory had also lost his yellow gold wedding band. Cory had lost his ring 2 days prior on July 4th. The area Cory pointed out was about 30-40 yards wide with an east boundary line that started at the upper beach by the dunes. The south line was straight out from an excavator on an empty lot behind the dunes. The north boundary line was straight out from a Palm tree in the corner of an adjoining lot and the west boundary was out to waist deep water. I had lost the low tide for the day but was able to get out to about my waist which was not as deep as Cory’s waist deep. I was able to check the entire beach inside the suspected area, finding a lot of targets but no man’s wedding band. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much more I could do at that point, so I called it a day. In my mind, I had already decided that I’d be back the next day at low tide, but didn’t say anything at the time. Sadly, Cory and his wife Olivia were leaving the next morning, so I wouldn’t be able to have a surprise return should I find it. On the way home, I text Charlie and told him my plan and ask him to let the gate guard know the next morning. He agreed, so everything was in place, all I needed to do was find Cory’s ring.

I showed up the next morning and everything was going according to plan. Since I had cleared the entire area of the beach, I could focus on searching the water. I started an east/west grid search letting my scoop drag in the sand, about 5 feet up the beach as a reference line. I started at the excavator working north. The water was calm, other than when boats would speed by leaving a wake that got me. With each line, I was able to get out to chest deep, which was a little farther out than Cory’s waist. I was about 5 feet in front of my excavator landmark when I got a loud and solid signal. My screen showing the VDI (visual display indicator) was submerged at arm’s length so I couldn’t see what the numbers on the machine were telling me. I guided my scoop deep into the sand and behind the detector coil and hoped I could get this target in one try. I pulled the scoop out and checked the hole to see if I got it, I DID! I shook the sand and mud out of the scoop under water. I lifted the scoop up and amongst a\scoop full of shells; I saw Cory’s gold wedding band peeking about halfway out from under a shell. Boom!! I made my way out of the water and called Charlie. I said, “Found it!” He replied, “No way, I’ll meet you at your car!” When we met, he called his sister, Olivia and told her I had found it, I think her response was the same as Charlie’s, “No way!” Charlie and Olivia worked out the details on getting the ring back to Cory. I asked Olivia to please take a picture of them and send it to me once they get the ring. I also asked her if Cory was excited, she said “He’s already texting his friends.” Soon as I get the picture, I can post this story.

Today, Thursday July 10th, I got a great picture of Cory with his ring. This is what it’s all about – one Big Happy Smile!

Cory and Olivia – I’m so happy I could help find Cory’s ring. Wish you two only the best!

TWO LOST GOLD RINGS in CHAPEL HILL, NC…….FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a text from a fellow ring finder asking if I wanted to take a double ring recovery that he wasn’t available to go out on. Of course I said, “SURE!”

I was passed on that they were lost at a wedding venue.

He sent me his number, I texted him, he said he lost them after he put them in his pocket before playing football with some kids. Turned out he had a hole in his pocket and that’s how he lost them. We set up a time when I could be there. I also had to gain permission from the Venue. The Venue said I could come out, but I had to be off the property by noon because they have events scheduled from noon today all the way until Sunday.

I arrived at 10 am, took me about an hour, but I found them both about 7 inches apart!

When we met up, his first words were, “YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE!”

Lost and found gold diamond wedding band in Havelock Ontario

Contact:

Today’s recovery took me to Havelock area, to a local camp ground. Kelly called me to see if I could recover her husband’s custom made gold diamond wedding band at a local pond within the campground where they are staying. Joe and a friend were in the pond, anchoring a huge floating trampoline using ropes and cinder blocks. While securing the ropes, he felt his large custom gold ring fall off his finger in about ten feet of water. Unfortunately, Joe is currently working away and was not able to meet me but I did talk to him the evening before to gather as much information as possible. Conditions were not favourable, with at least two feet high thick solid weed bed and a foot of silt beneath the weeds. After 90 minutes under water, with perseverance and lots of work through the weeds and various metal items, I finally found his gorgeous ring. It had worked it’s way through the weeds and into the silt about six inches. Another happy ending and so happy I was able to give the ring back to kelly right there and then. She called Joe right away and shared the good news. Life is good!

69-year-old wedding ring lost and found – Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Johnson Creek, Wisconsin residents, Lyle (Spike) and Bonnie Klockow, celebrated their 69th anniversary with their family on Monday, June 23rd. Returning from a boating excursion on Rock Lake the following morning, Lyle wrung rainwater out of some rags over the side of the boat. That’s when his precious wedding ring slipped off his hand and disappeared in the dark water. Recent weight loss caused Lyle’s ring to fit more loosely than normal. On his hand for nearly seven decades, the ring was now gone. The loss left Lyle feeling horribly disappointed. For sixty-nine years, the ring had served as tangible evidence of his marriage to Bonnie. The memories were innumerable.
I received a phone call from Terrie, Lyle’s daughter and made arrangements to meet up with the family at her aunt’s lakeside home. Monte, Terrie’s brother, led the way to the boat dock. Lyle arrived soon afterward and confirmed the approximate location where the ring had come off his hand.

The presence of metallic objects in the silt set my detector off with a staccato of signals. Armed with a description of the ring I was able to ignore many of these objects and hone in on those with promising conductivity numbers, those consistent with gold. An ancient brass shotgun shell was excavated, evidence of bygone duck-hunting escapades. Then, not far from where Lyle believed the ring left his hand, a solid ‘70’ on my controller indicated the presence of a target consistent with a white-gold ring. Sorting through the mud, stones and sticks in my scoop, Lyle’s ring appeared at last!

Bonnie, who was sitting with the rest of the family on their back deck, was curious about all the activity down by the dock. Who was the strange man and what was he doing wading in the water? Lyle had not told her about his missing wedding ring. He didn’t want to upset her. This made the reveal all the more fun. And the beautiful smiles on the couple’s faces tell the rest of the story.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring or precious jewelry item, don’t let its story end. With over forty years of metal-detecting experience, chances are we can add your smile to the growing list of happy clients. Long lost or recent, on land or in water, call today!

Megan had posted in a local Facebook group asking for help after her husband, James, lost his ring in the sand. Luckily, someone in the group referred her to me—John Favano with Ring Finders South Jersey.

James had removed his wedding band to apply sunscreen and absentmindedly placed it in a cup holder. As the family packed up at the end of the day, the ring was forgotten—until they realized it was missing. Panic quickly set in.

Megan reached out, and I got to the beach shortly after speaking with her. She gave me a clear description of their location, and I began my metal detecting search right away. Within minutes, I got a strong signal on my detector. One scoop into the sand—and there it was: James’s wedding band, gleaming in the sunlight.

The look of relief and joy on their faces said it all. It’s always an amazing feeling to reunite people with something they thought was gone forever. Another ring recovered, and another happy couple!

Lost diamond engagement ring in pond, Melbourne, Florida recovered by Mike McInroe Florida Ring Finder

Anna and her fiancee were relaxing by the pool and for safe keeping she rolled her diamond engagement ring in the corner of their towel on the lounge chair. And after a nice swim they decided to lay out in the sun and her fiancee grabbed the towel off the chair and Anna’s ring went flying through a safety fence and dropped into the pond water on the other side of the fence. Stunned, she just stood there not wanting to believe what had just happened! They asked the condo management if they could use the pool skimmer net and try and scrape the ring up off the bottom of the pond but their efforts were futile. The water was at least 7 foot deep and they soon realized that they needed specialized help and after a quick search on Google they came across theringfinders.com and decided to call Al Zenker, a member of theringfinders and he came out and gave them some advice, which was to call me as I am scuba certified and live fairly close by. So after hearing Austin and Anna’s story it was obvious that a dive was required so we made plans to meet up the next day.

Most all of the small ponds in central Florida are silty and mud covered bottoms that can be very difficult to navigate and search, especially when searching for such a small item like a ring…BUT…Anna was quite sure about where exactly her ring dropped into the water and that made it so much easier. I just wanted to test the pond bottom so I walked out from shore along the cement block wall/foundation and immediately noticed the bottom was sandy and gravel mixed, which would be 100% easier to search than the mud and silt I was anticipating! Plus the blocks were stacked pyramid style with out rebar and that too made it easier to search. As I slowly descended to the bottom I started getting signals…washers, pieces of copper wire, screws and then one large target that was quite deep. And at the end of each pass of my NOKTA Pulse Dive hand held pinpointer I would go all the way to the base of the block pool foundation and that is where I heard a nice repeatable signal that proved to be exactly what I was looking for! Anna’s lost diamond engagement ring was pushed right up against the block and when I surfaced and showed Anna what I had found, she started shaking! Her emotions were running high and the feelings of relief and thankfulness were so strong she had to sit down and calm herself and let reality sink in…she had her precious ring back once again! So I thank God for leading me and using me to help and bless others!

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP @ 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Steph explained that her friend, Amber, lost her engagement ring while brushing sand off of her hands at Sunset Beach. She and her friends had been sifting thru the sand on their hands and knees for over an hour with no success. Took the ten minute ride over to Sunset Beach from home and met up with Amber, Steph, & the rest of their party. There was a palpable nervous tension but I tried to reassure the group that I would get the ring back. Started a tight grid pattern and recovered Ambers ring on the second pass in about 5 minutes.

Sometimes you have to phone it in!

  • from Media (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:


Last month I received a call from Eli in ChesterBrook whose beautiful gold phoenix ring launched off his finger whilst he was tossing some apples into the woods at his house to feed the deer! After searching a while himself he reached out for a helping hand. We started in the ivy below his deck but true to Chris’ words, the ring was almost exactly 45* from where Eli had been standing when he threw it. As I carefully went through the ivy, Eli stepped away to take a phone call and nearly tripped over the ring! Very happy to have been able to help, even though Eli actually found the ring!! Sometimes it helps to take a step back.

Lost USC Trojans Class ring found on a hillside by Dave The RingFinder in Santa Clarita

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

If you have lost a ring or other valuable piece of jewelry then don’t hesitate to call or text Dave The RingFinder at 805-290-5009 so he can formulate a plan to recover your ring! No matter the location give Dave The Ringfinder a call and take advantage of his years of professional metal detecting experience.

I got a call Monday night from Randy who had lost his most valuable USC Trojans class ring. He had just returned from a 3-week trip and had been in his backyard at his Stevenson Ranch home throwing some oranges over the fence onto the hillside below. On one throw he felt his ring fly off and he heard a loud “clang” as it hit the fence and disappeared into the brush below. He and his son began to look into the bushes and knee high grass but no ring showed up so Randy turned to google.

After a few minutes Randy found Dave The RingFinder and he gave me a call. Randy had a ton of questions for me and I answered all of them as best I could and we agreed to meet the next morning at 8am.

After I arrived Randy showed me around and the areas he thought the ring would have likely ended up in and so I hopped the fence and turned on my Minelab Manticore and proceeded to cover the hill. I remembered too late that it is always better to detect uphill on the slope but quickly figured it out as I fell and slid down the hill. Lesson learned. After covering the area Randy had begun to lose hope and I told him not to worry that if it was there I was going to find it. I stopped to pray about the ring and I was told to go down the hill.

I tried to reason with God why I should continue to search the bushes and grass but the overwhelming message was clear, go down the hill. So I proceeded to move lower and began to search under these large bushes well down the hill. There was one left but it was to the left of the property line but I had looked everywhere else so I put my detector under it and got a loud signal. I got on my hands and knees but I still couldn’t get close enough so onto my belly I went and slid under the bush. There it was in all it’s glory! Randy’s 1982 USC Trojan ring! I laid there, threw up the “V” for victory and praised God and started to hum “Tusk”.

Since Randy had lost hope I had the chance to suprise him so climbed back up and over the fence and met him in the kitchen. I told him I wanted to shake his hand before I left and I flashed him the ring and he let out with a loud ‘Fight On” and some other words as he realized that he and SC were back again.

If you accidentally lose your ring throwing and orange or even throwing a fit, call or text Dave The RingFinder. Whether you lost it in the water, the wet sand, dry sand, grass, hillside or you’re just not sure, call right away and let Dave go to work on your behalf. Serving all of Malibu, Santa Clarita, Ventura County and Santa Barbara, Dave The RingFinder (805-290-5009) is the #1 choice for professional metal detecting services.
