Lost Wedding & Engagement Rings at White Plains Beach…FOUND!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

White Plains surf hunt

This ring find began when I woke up to a text from Brett that said, “Hey Joe, My wife lost both of our wedding rings yesterday at White Plains Beach.  She was looking after my ring whilst I was surfing.  We know the location she was digging in.  Are you able to help?  Sorry for the early morning message.  Included in the text were photos of the rings and where Chloe was digging in the sand with their baby daughter.  Since I was going to Ko Olina for a scuba dive, I figured I could divert to White Plains for the search.  I called Brett and he agreed to meet me there at first light.  Unfortunately, when I arrived it was high tide and pounding the area Chloe was in the sand.  I told Brett to stand on the spot in the pic that Chloe was at and I would detect around him.  As I hunted around the surf was blasting the two of us and it was all we could do to stay on the spot.  My coil was getting twisted on the shaft.  After a few minutes no targets were found and I was thinking the worst possible thing that the tide had consumed the rings.  I asked Brett to step to the right a bit and search the only place I hadn’t done yet.  Boom!  Two targets and Brett had been standing on them the whole time.  I scoop several times and brought up Chloe’s Engagement Ring first.  I gave it to Brett and he secured it away.  It took a bit but I finally found the second target.  A set was coming in and it was all I could do to stay on target.  Finally,  after several scoops Brett’s Gold band was in the scoop.  Brett said something about Being a Legend.  Maybe not that, but I will always give it my best shot.  What made the recovery extra special was Brett’s band was his Grandfather’s.  The day it was lost would have been his 99th birthday in Australia.  The day we found it was his 99th birthday in the USA!  What a special moment for him.  Much Aloha to Chloe & Brett!

Lost engagement ring found in Fayette, Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)

I received a call from Phil after his wife Kelcy had lost her engagement ring while they had been working to build a shed at their home in Fayette, Maine. After finding several nails and a bottle cap or two during my sweep of the areas they had been working, I decided to move the lumber pile they had staged to complete the project, the ring was  quickly located when the last board was moved. A successful recovery made the long drive and 20 degree temperature worth it and I was happy to reunite Kelcy with her ring

14K Yellow Gold Earring Lost on a Nature Trail, Found and Returned Bird Island NC

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

On Dec 19th, there was a post on a couple of the Sunset Beach NC Face Book pages from Aileen. The post said in part that her son’s (Sean) Girlfriend (Meg), had lost an earring that her mother had given her. That they had been walking on a Nature trail behind the *Kindred Spirit Mailbox, and she is pretty sure it happened when she took her poncho off. The last thing on the post was to contact Meg, via text, with a number.  Aileen also attached a picture of the yellow gold earring. I checked the responses and saw that 3 or 4 people had already referred her to contact me and listed my contact information. So, I didn’t respond and waited to see if I’d get a call. *Kindred Spirit Mailbox is a famous, secluded mailbox on Bird Island, near Sunset Beach NC filled with journals where visitors write their innermost thoughts, secrets and dreams. The mailbox is listed as 1.5 miles from the last beach access on Sunset Beach. I’ve walked it a few times on searches and I honestly think it’s mismarked because it’s taken me close to an hour to get there.

The next afternoon just before 3, I got a text saying, “Hi! I got your number from my boyfriend’s mother. She posted about possibly helping with lost jewelry on sunset beach/bird island. Would you be interested in helping?” A follow up text said, “My name is Meggie. I lost one of my mother’s earrings on the bird island trail. I have a pretty good idea of where. Would love and eternally appreciate the help of a metal detector.” I immediately called Meg for additional details. One of my concerns was the walk down and back from the area. Meg told me that they had E-bikes that we could use; now this could be fun since I’ve never ridden an E-bike before. She told me she’d text me her address and we agreed to meet today, Sunday at noon. After we hung up, I got to thinking about how I was going to carry my detector and drive the bike, so I text Meg back and didn’t get an answer.

This morning about 11 am, I still hadn’t heard from Meg with her address, so I text her again and didn’t get an answer. A short time later I called her and didn’t get an answer, so I left her a voice mail. I started wondering if she had changed her mind or if something else had come up. About 15 minutes before we were supposed to meet, I got a text saying, “Hey Jim, sorry I’m awful with the phone! She also sent me the address.” I responded, “On my way, be there in about 30 minutes.”

When I got there, I got to meet Sean and he gave me a quick lesson on the E-bike, I was excited!! He helped me strap my detector to the bike and I was ready to go. A short time later Meg came out and she was ready as well. Our trip down the beach to the mailbox was perfect and no walking or wrecks on the bike. We got to the start of the trail at 1:11 pm and I tested Meg’s other earring again to make sure I was getting the best signal I could. I took the equinox 800 through all the modes and found that Park 2 gave me the best signal and showed a 1 on the VDI (visual display indicator). The trail looked like it was a game trail that through time and use turned into a wider path with bushes, weeds, and sticker bushes on both sides. As we’re walking, I’m swinging from far left to far right in case the earring was flung off instead of dropping straight down. I was getting a lot of deep signals that were trash but no earring. We got to the “hot zone” where Meg had removed the poncho with no results and made our turn to go back. We got back in the hot zone and I hit a solid 1 with a great signal. Took my pin pointer out and ran it through the small soft sand area and didn’t hit the target. I took my hands and was scooping up small amounts of sand and out popped the earring, BINGO!! I picked it up and handed it back to Meg. What a very happy young lady.

Aileen – Thank you so much for your posts on FB, it helped save the earring.

Meg – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your very special treasure, it was my honor.

Car Key Lost in the Woods, Recovered. Elburn Il.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a text message from Scott last night 12/20/25 around 6 pm. In the message he told me that he was volunteering at a his local forest preserve early in the day clearing invasive plants and bushes. At the start of their work day Scott put his car key in his jacket pocket and shortly before leaving he reached into the pocket and realized that the car key was missing! He searched online and was lead to a Reddit post that mentioned “The Ring Finders”. We set up a time to meet this morning at the forest preserve. After arriving Scott and I started the 10 minute hike back to where they were working the day before. When we arrived in area of the work I could see lots of footprints in the snow and the large pile of brush that they had piled up. So I started detecting towards the brush pile, covering all of the footprints as I went. Just before reaching the piles I could see some footprints off to my left side and decided to make a sweep over them quick before diving into the giant pile of honeysuckle.  As I did I heard a big grunt of iron. Just as I was bending over to check the signal I could see something black in the snow. It looked like just another leaf or branch, but as I grabbed it I could see the pink keyring moving in the snow!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!

 

Lost Gold Ring in the Snow Found in Washington Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Decking his halls with ornaments bright

Steve lost his gold ring in the snow one night

I drove many miles arrived with bells on

Santa came early to search the lawn

Over cold ground like old prophesy

I presented a gift of gold like the Magi

Steve’s face lit up like a Christmas tree

Christmas had come early bringing untold glee

Lost wedding band in Melbourne

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)

Dominick found my contact information on the Ringfinders web site. He had been taking out the trash the week before at night in the rain. He shook his wet hands to dry them off and Oops off goes the ring. He looked the next day but could not find in the thick grass. He went to google and found a expert in the field of finding lost rings.  It was an easy find with my metal detector but impossible with the naked eye.

I was out on a search for someone’s well when I got a message from someone who had lost his wedding ring in the snow. So, I messaged back that I could come this evening.

When I got there he showed me the area and explained that he had been sweeping snow off a car and doing a little shoveling during the large snowstorm we had a few days ago. He had also taken off his gloves a couple times to shake the snow off.

So, we got started. We had lost a lot of snow, which helped speed up the search. After getting a few false alarms from foil wrappers, I got a good signal. I moved some leaves and there was his ring! It was still in perfect condition, but nearly had been driven over.

He was so happy and couldn’t wait to tell his wife!

Metal Detector Rental, West Vancouver.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your diamond engagement ring or gold wedding band, cell phone, keys?  Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call Chris 24/7 Metal detecting Service  

Why buy or rent a Metal Detector when you can hire a Metal Detecting specialist with over 50 years of xperence… this young man bought two metal detectors and search for five hours with no luck, he then found me on my directory TheRingFinders and the Smile has been recorded.

Last night after getting back from a beach hunt just after midnight I received a call from a young man who told me his wife had lost a gold and diamond Cartier earring. He wanted to see if I was interested in going out that evening after (Midnight) to look for it on Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver.

After talking about the search, I decided to hit it early in the morning, I knew it was gonna be cold and snowy and where he described she lost it, there was no hurry to get there before the snow ploughs or anybody else finding it.

When I arrived and met the young man,  he put me in a great area and I started to do my grid search. The conditions were tough as it froze and the snow was pretty hard packed. After close to an hour, I received a great signal and I chipped away at the snow and ice and found her beautiful diamond earring. As a matter of fact all I saw was the gold post of the earring in the s, after surprising, the young man, we decided to take it to the washroom and use a hot water to melt away the ice and snow. The earring was in perfect condition and back to its owner.

I love my job if you’ve lost something and need help don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP. TheRingFinders.com Chris 778-838-3463
