Lost Wedding Band Found Ocean City NJ by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Just a day before, Rhett and Meredith were married. Family members from different corners of the country gathered to witness their beautiful ceremony. The day after the wedding, they decided to visit Ocean City, NJ, where some relatives and friends were staying in order to spend quality time with them. Both Rhett and Meredith wore distinctive wedding bands – Rhett wore his late father’s wedding band that was hand-made by his mother.

While playing in the ocean with his nieces and nephews, Rhett suddenly realized that his wedding ring had slipped off his finger and vanished beneath the waves. Distressed, he called me later that night, and we decided to meet at the beach the next day around low-tide in hopes of finding the lost ring. I gathered more details about where the ring might be and initiated my search. I started in waist-deep water and worked my way toward the shoreline. In just about ankle-deep water, the metal detector let out a sharp sound. I scooped up a handful of sand and there it was, the family heirloom! Recovered!

Rhett was overjoyed and relieved as he gave me a hug. The ring held immeasurable sentimental value for him. It will now be able to be honored and cherished for years to come.

Lost ring in Door County recovered through teamwork!

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

On August 21st, I received a call from Jake about his lost wedding ring at Jacksonport Beach, a popular spot on the east coastline of Door County.   It slipped off his finger in chest-high water about 35-to-50 feet from shore.    I drove out later the next day, after giving some storms time to pass by.    I arrived to see white caps rolling in, but they weren’t too high close to shore in the troughs between the sand bars.   Further out, they were pretty strong.

I knew this would be an arduous search because the Lake Michigan side of the Door County Peninsula is colder than the bay, and fighting the incoming whitecaps can tire a person out pretty quickly.   I taught Jake how to detect small round objects with my ancient Fisher 1280, an analog model that is easy to use because it goes by sound.   I used an AT Pro, which has been pretty effective for me on sand beaches.   Jake used my heavy steel scoop, which has enough weight to be effective in surf.   He is a bigger guy, so he could handle the deeper waves better than I could. I started out about chest deep, and worked my way into the shallows, figuring the waves may have tumbled the ring toward shore.   I worked back and forth closer and closer to the beach, but only found one hammered coin of some kind, to be cleaned and researched later. Jake and his sons arrived to observe and assist, and his wife and baby boy came by later to watch and give encouragement.   After the better part of an hour Jake waded in with a huge smile and his artisanal ring in the scoop!    Nice recovery!  Their whole family was beaming!

Jake gave me a generous reward, which will be used to bring our grandson to a Timber Rattlers and a Milwaukee Brewers game!    I hated to take it, since he was the one who scooped it using my gear, but the main thing is we worked together and found it!

Something gleaming in the scoop!

(Word to the wise:   Wedding bands without protruding stone settings will sink where they fall in sand until they reach equilibrium!   The ring stayed put despite the waves.)

Lost Ring in Sturgeon Bay recovered!

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

On July 21st, I was called out to a house on the shore of Green Bay, between Luxemburg and Sturgeon Bay. A guy named Eric had lost his wedding band in some rocks in chest-high water, and he REALLY wanted it back. I drove out there, and found a beautiful rustic cottage/home on a bluff overlooking the bay.  I climbed down a lot of stairs to the dock, jumped in and started hunting. Rocks are very hard to hunt in, especially different sized ones, because the ring can slip between them and be lost forever, but I detected a strong signal! A scoop was useless in the rocks, so Eric speared the bottom with a stout stick  so I could pull myself down with a snorkel and mask and stay there, and I spied the ring laying on the surface of a flat rock.  What good luck!
Afterwards, Eric sent this tribute, which was awfully kind of him:
“I was visiting from Florida up in the Sturgeon Bay area and swimming in the lake this last week. I was trying to find my wife a special rock at the bottom of the lake and started to pick up the rock and my ring fell off while I had the rock in my hands. Aside from the normal stress this could cause any husband and wife, I was panicking and didn’t know what to do. I stayed up late to research how I could get this done. I knew I couldn’t do it myself and I came across Tom’s profile on Ring finders. I couldn’t of asked for a better individual to help me: kind professionalism, and most of all they were able to find my ring for me at a very respectable price. I can tell Tom is a man of integrity and I’m thankful that I had him here. God bless this company and anybody who loses their ring. Please give this company a chance and you won’t be disappointed.”

Lost Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Honeymoon Island, Dunedin Fl…Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

 

Steve Thomas

Dunedin Ring Finder

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please call me ASAP at (843) 995-4719. I offer a free metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Erin and her husband Michael were enjoying some beach time with family on the Dog Beach portion of Honeymoon Island State Park. Michael was playing with the children in about knee deep water when he felt his heavy tungsten carbide wedding band slip off of his finger into the water. Despite a frantic effort by all present to find the ring searching in the water by hand, it could not be found.

Unfortunately as they were vacationing in the Tampa area and staying with family, Erin and Michael had to return to their home in Texas several days later without Michael’s wedding band. After Erin returned home, she began seeking help to find her husband’s ring on local social media pages including one called Honeymoon Island Sandbar Chasers where several people recommended me.

After I was able to connect with Erin, I discovered that Michael had lost his ring about fours days before near high tide in knee deep water which means it would just be in wet sand at low tide. I was concerned that the ring might be found by another detectorist under those conditions so I headed to the beach at low tide the following morning. Erin had texted me a pin drop on a Google map as well as a description of the loss location which included several visual landmarks but Erin’s step mom who was with the family at the beach and who lives in the area was not able to assist me that day. I wanted to recover the ring with one search because beginning the next day I was going to be out of town for two weeks.

After I reviewed the map and noted landmarks at the site, I decided to begin my search in knee deep water and grid about 50 yards to the north and south of the beginning point. After working the water up to the wet sand for several hours and finding several bottle caps and pull tabs, I detected a target with a strong signal that I felt like could be just what I was looking for. I dug a few inches down with my scoop and out popped Michael’s wedding ring! I sent some photos to Erin who couldn’t believe how quickly I had recovered the ring especially with no one present to point out the precise location. Later that day I met up with Erin’s step mom to return the ring so she could mail it to Erin. As soon as I receive a photo of Michael with the ring back on his finger, I will edit this post. In the meantime, my smile will have to do!

Erin and Michael, thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to find and return Michael’s wedding ring!

Lost Gold Signet Ring found in Long Lake in Mount Desert, Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I went to Long Pond in Mount Desert after receiving a call from Luke, who had been referred by fellow Ring Finder Bill McDougall who assessed this recovery would require diver search capabilities. Luke had lost this heirloom signet ring that had originally belonged to his dad and had been passed down to him. The ring was lost last summer in 4 feet of water while kayaking in front of the family camp, his Great Grandmother had purchased about 90 years ago. The bottom was particularly soft with 8 to 12 inches of mud and quite a collection of branches, leaves and lily pads. After a substantial search that yielded a slew of pull tabs, nails, and bottle caps, I was able to locate the ring which had settled down into about 6” of mud. The signet inscription “en tout fidele” means “in all faithfulness” and just as he and his family have been faithful in their stewardship and preservation of their camp for several generations, this ring has been saved and can someday pass to another generation as well. As always a portion of the generous rewards I receive will be directed toward a worthy cause, so I feel it is fitting to contribute to the badly needed roof restoration of the Conway Homestead & Cramer Museum in Rockport, ME so that this local treasure too may be saved and passed on to the future generations of our community and its visitors to enjoy.

Found Wedding Ring in Central Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

9/21/23

Got a call from a woman who had lost her wedding ring earlier today. She had been outside pulling weeds and moving brush at her home. After taking a load through the mud and out to the woods, she realized her ring was missing. She figured it had to be where she was throwing the weeds, so she spent several hours on her hands and knees looking for it there.

Her ring is beautiful, a custom made ring with mountains on it. Unfortunately, it fit a little loose, so she had always tried to be careful not to lose it. Even so, it had been lost once before doing the same thing!

I went to her home right away. She showed me the area where she thought it would be and I found it in about 15 seconds! It was in the only spot she hadn’t looked. Easy to tell that because the rest of the area was trampled by her knees! I was very happy to be able to help her out!

Diamond Engagement Ring Found at Old Orchard Beach Beach Maine, With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

As I was detecting a low tide, on the morning of August 21, 2023, in Old Orchard Beach I was approached by 2 men. One of them identified themselves as Brandon. Brandon told me that he and his father were searching for his girlfriends Diamond Ring and asked if could help. Absolutely I can help. After asking Brandon for the details of losing the ring , Brandon gave me the entire story. He and his girlfriend, Larissa, had been enjoying a beautiful beach day and were in the water, when the ring came off her finger. Brando and Larissa tried  to find the ring in the water and waves, but it was a fruitless endeavor.
Once I was showed the approximate location, I told Brandon that I perform a grid search, horizontal to the beach and would start out near the low tide line , working my way towards shore. The horizontal search would run for approximately 100’ to 150’, along the low tide line to the shore. After not finding much and getting close to running out of beach to search, I received a nice loud low signal , with my Excalibur II and sunk the scoop, into the sand. As I threw the sand out of the scoop, I saw a small sliver of silver in the sand. As I brushed away the Sand, I saw the Diamonds and knew that Larissa would be getting her ring back. I then called Brandon, who had left about 2 hours earlier, with his father. I called and told Brandon that I have something for him and that I would send him a photo, to verify it is the correct ring. The reply I received was, “That’s it thank you”. Brandon came back to get the ring and he brought a very happy Larissa, who was so appreciative.  I handed the ring to Larissa and her smiling face said it all. I love my ability to be able to help people.

GOLD & DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING LOST AT ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, FL. RETURNED BY RINGFINDER ADAM GREENBURG

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:
I received a call today from from a newly engaged couple. They had only been engaged for 2 weeks. She told me she was down by the water and then noticed her engagement Diamond ring was missing from her finger. She said she searched the area frantically and was unable to find her ring. She searched the internet for LostRingFlorida and received  my contact information from another RingFinder on TheRingfinder.com. After informing me of her location on St. Augustine Beach I dropped everything and immediately met her on the beach. After grid searching the location I was able to find her engagement ring and return it to her. I told her to get a fake ring for the beach so she would not be a repeat customer. She and her Fiancé o happy I was able to find her engagement ring. I would like to give a shout out to fellow RingFinder Mike McInroe who referred me for this hunt.
TESTIMONIAL: Here’s a 5 star review…
The weekend was off to a great start. My family and I were enjoying a sunny day on St. Augustine beach when suddenly I realized that my engagement ring had slipped off my finger in ankle deep water. We immediately began searching, attempting to take current and undertow into consideration. After an hour of searching we began googling someone to help. Adams name popped up and we gave him a call. He was extremely easy to communicate with and was headed our way in minutes. He showed up ready to search. HE FOUND MY RING. Both myself and my fiancé are so thankful for Adam and all he does! We cannot recommend his services enough. If you lost an item…Adam can find it! #Lostringflorida#TheRingFinder#RingfinderStAugustine#metaldetectorrental#floridametaldetector#

Necklace recovered at Spring Lake Beach NJ

Contact:

Recovery at Spring Lake NJ,

While enjoying the day at the beach, Jami took off her necklace she received for her communion and placed it on the arm of her beach chair. She took it off to put lotion on and not to get a cross tan line on her chest. She went and moved the chair to under her umbrella for shade forgetting her necklace. She tried to find it but couldn’t. I met her at the spot she was sitting and at first couldn’t find it, but going over the area again I finally got a faint signal and found her necklace. The small size of the necklace and she covered it with sand to bury it deeper looking for it made it a harder signal to hear. I’m just glad I was able to reunite her with her cherish necklace. A great happy ending.
