I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like 
looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Here’s another story of a lost custom made wedding ring recovery at Oceanside beach San Diego California. On August 3rd 2025 Ian was wading in the shallow surf water near the pier when he noticed his ring missing. Later that day he commented on Reddit what had happened then along came suggestions from users including contacting myself on The ring finders to help find his ring.
Sure enough Ian contacted me right away which increased his chances of getting it back,,,within a short time after meeting him there that same night I was able to recover his precious meteorite wedding band within 3hrs of his online post!
Ian was extremely happy & relieved I could help him so quickly.
Time is of the essence….The Ocean is hungry & local pirate treasure hunters are starving for gold!
Yesterday afternoon, while driving home from my last search, I received a call from Jonathan. He requested my assistance in locating his lost keys in his back alley. Jonathan informed me that he had become stuck in a snowbank while shoveling his vehicle out. Upon noticing his key missing, he had searched the area unsuccessfully for some time.
Upon my arrival, Jonathan demonstrated the area where he had become stuck and the approximate location where the keys could be. However, he had inadvertently shoveled the snow towards the fence, which is where I subsequently discovered his keys. Jonathan was overjoyed to have his keys returned.
Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from Lynn inquiring about my assistance in locating her vehicle key fob, which her son misplaced while shoveling snow on the driveway.
After inquiring with Lynn, I agreed to visit her and search for the key fob in the snowbank. Upon arrival, I observed that the snowbank was approximately four feet high, and the driveway was not its usual size. Within five minutes, I discovered the key fob atop the snowbank. Lynn informed me that she believed the keys had fallen to the bottom of the snowbank, making it impossible for her son to retrieve them. I clarified that this was not the case, as the recent snowfall and her son’s shoveling activity had caused the keys to be within a few inches of the top of the bank.
Lynn expressed immense gratitude for my assistance in retrieving her key fob. She informed me that the dealership had requested over $800.00 for its replacement.

Sometimes the Search Starts Long Before the Detector Turns On

At 1:00 AM, a desperate text came in. By mid-morning, there were tears — hers… and mine.
This one felt amazing — not just because the ring was found, but because of what happened when I handed it back.
A woman in Williamsburg, Brooklyn had lost a ring that meant everything to her. She felt it fly (fling) off her finger while walking on her block. She and her boyfriend — along with kind strangers — searched for hours with flashlights. No luck. Desperate, she reached out.
I replied honestly. Street searches are tough. Metal detectors don’t love concrete or asphalt — too much interference underneath. I told her I might not be able to help, but we’d talk in the morning.
Her reply changed everything: they believed the ring landed in a dirt or grassy area.
That detail mattered.
By morning, they had already gone back out and searched for a few more hours. When I arrived, she explained the ring was loose — and that unmistakable feeling of it flying off her finger never left her.
I started by eliminating the obvious with quick scans — the leaf-covered street and nearby bushes along Havemeyer Street. After about an hour with nothing, I shifted my focus to something more subtle: the footing at the base of the shrubbery.
And that’s when it happened.
Right at the bottom of a bush, exactly where gravity would pull something small but heavy, my detector gave the signal I was hoping for. I reached down — and there it was.
Her ring.
When I placed it in her hand, she broke down in tears of pure joy. And honestly… that did me in too. I even got a hug out of this one.
Moments like this are why I do what I do.
More and more I’ve been thanking g-d, before I even begin a search, I feel a calm certainty — like I know what was lost will be found.
This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..
Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!
He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.
The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!
I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!
I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!

This search started just before 6 pm on Jan. 2nd, 2026, when I received a phone call from Jack saying his friend Kai had lost his Clemson class ring. Jack confirmed they were in the dry sand and that they would meet me there. I told him I’d be there in 30-45 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and was on my way.
When I got there, I followed Jack into the resort and back to where they were on the beach. I got to meet Kai, and he explained that he had been throwing a Frisbee when he felt the ring come off. A huge help was the fact that Kai and Jack had set two beer cans in the sand where Kai had been standing. They also left the Frisbee where it landed with another beer can in the sand. They were just above the high tide line when this happened. So, I started a north/south grid search between the two areas stretching the search out in both directions with no luck. I finally asked Kai to demonstrate his throw and when he did, I knew I wasn’t in the right area. In his demonstration, he showed that he heaved the Frisbee with his hand ending up high and to the far right. It was pitch black and getting cold, so I talked with Kai and Jack and told them I was there until I found it or exhausted searching the entire area. I also told them if they wanted to leave that I would definitely call them and keep them updated. I think both Jack and Kai’s girlfriends were with them plus a couple of others and they were getting hungry. Again, I assured them I’d stay connected and they left. I redirected my search to past the landing point of the Frisbee and higher up on the beach, just off the dunes. On my first line and just about even with where Kai had been standing, I got a solid hit. Knowing the ring was a heavy yellow gold ring, the VDI (visual display indicator) would show up in the mid to high teens. This signal was coming up in the 17-18 range. It took 3 scoops to get the target out, which surprised me that it was so deep. Got the target out of the hole, turned on my head lamp and saw the target in the pile of sand. It wasn’t until I picked up the target, cleaned the sand off it that I realized I had Kai Clemson ring. I took a quick picture and sent it to Jack and immediately got a call back. Jack said they’re turning around and would be there in 5 minutes. Kai came running out on the beach to where I was and I showed him the hole and where it was in conjunction to where he was standing when he threw the Frisbee. We walked back to the cars, he thanked me again and we said our goodbyes. He left a very happy young man!
Jack – Thank you so much for giving me a call to help.
Kai – I’m so happy that I was able to find and return your lost treasure. Take care and the best to you!

This ring find began when I got a call from Matt who was on vacation from Seattle and after returning from a swim went to flick a piece of beach slime from his hand his ring flew off and disappeared into the sand. I told him I just got back from Ko Olina but after grabbing a bite to eat I would return to find his ring in the dry sand near the beach chairs. When I arrived Matt waved me down as I entered the beach area. We walked over to the search area and Matt described what had happened. I assumed this would be a quick find and I would be on my way back home. I searched the area in front of the chairs where Matt thought the ring should be. No Ring! We moved the chairs out of the way and searched again. No Ring! I expanded the search grid to double the size in each direction. No Ring! I started discussing to Matt about other possibilities and he began to think it might have fallen off in the water or elsewhere. I decided to do a grid search at 90 degrees to the initial grid but this time I went way down towards the water. Actually about triple the grid size and BOOM! One scoop Big Gold Ring Found! Matt didn’t know his own strength. That ring went for a launch! Big relief for Matt and his lovely wife Katherine. Aloha to Matt and his family!
This ring find began yesterday when I got a text from Amanda who was on vacation from Brazil she texted, “Hi, we’re at the Aulani Disney Resort and my sister lost her golden ring, the lost and found gave me your number, in case we need the metal detector. Can you help us?” Amanda sent me a pic of the ring and where in the water her sister lost the ring. It was only ankle deep. I told her I would return at first light the next morning for the recovery. When I arrived I started a grid search. It took less then ten minutes to locate the ring in the shallow calm water. We met at Makiki Joe’s Beach Rentals for the return and Amanda’s sister was extremely pleased as you can see by the smile on her face. Aloha to Amanda & her sister!
