I was detecting the beach and dug up this beautiful 14K sealife bracelet. I was immediately approached by a man that said his wife lost it. Of course we have all heard those stories but after some conversation and seeing a picture of it on her arm we confirmed it was hers and returned the bracelet to the rightful owner!

Alex and her friends were enjoying a day at the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ until she lost her class ring. Before going into the ocean, she decided to take off her Academy of Notre Dame class ring. She put it in the cup holder of the chair for safe keeping. Later in the day, she realized the ring wasn’t on her finger. She and her friends started to search for the ring on the beach with no luck. Her friend Danielle made the call to me and after a thorough grid search, the class ring was back on her finger!

Jessica was spending a beautiful afternoon in the calm, cool waters of Cape Cod Bay when her father’s wedding band slipped from her finger. In an effort to enhance her chance of finding the ring she went to a hardware store to rent a metal detector. An employee knew Jessica would need a waterproof metal detector to help find the ring, which the store did not have. The employee told her of TheRingFinders and that they would help. In turn a call for help was placed and I responded.
As daylight and the tide go, so goes the opportunity to detect in the varying depths of a specific area of a beach. Jessica and I exchanged a few texts and set up a meeting to take place at 8AM the next morning. Leighton Harrington, another Ring Finder, joined me for the search. Also in the search team were Jessica and her friend Max.
To make a 90 minute search a short story Max was “eye-balling” the sandy area while Leighton and I covered the submerged area. A few hopeful signals turn out to be objects other then the ring. As often happens the ring was found a good 100 feet from the initial area we were led to were Jesica thought the ring had slipped from her finger.
It was unbelievable but Max spotted just a quick flash of reflected early morning light in the sand. Low and behold it was a reflection from the ring. What a team effort in the search and return of a very sentimental ring. The return brought tears of joy from Jessica and many thanks for our response to her request for help came from both Jessica and Max. Smiles all around and multiple photos made for a very memorable and unique return.
Maria was at a Coronado park enjoying the day, then decided to go to the beach next door. She took off her ring and stashed it in a pocket. In gathering up her gear, the ring must have fallen out somewhere in the grass. She didn’t discover it was missing until she got home. A return and visual scan of the area didn’t result in finding the ring. An online search the next day brought Maria to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. Since Maria was at work when she called me, and couldn’t meet me to show me the search area, I had to use a photo and directions as to where she had been in the park. When I arrived, there were dozens of kids playing soccer in that area. I fired up the Equinox 900 and hit the fringes of the search area and worked into the main area as I was able. Lots of targets in this park, but, after a few passes, I heard that nice low tone and 20 I.D. number I expected. I looked down and there in plain sight was her ring. A pleasure to meet you Maria and thank you for the reward.
I was at work this morning and got a call from Janvi Patel asking for help in finding her ring she lost the afternoon before. The ring was a gift from her mother, a green emerald representing her astrological sign, plus it was blessed. It ment everything to her. I asked my boss if I could leave and he said OK for it was slow at work. I told her i’d be there within a half hour. She met me and took me to where she was sitting when she lost it. While down on the beach, she went to remove her beach skirt she was wearing and it got caught on her ring sending it into the sand. I searched the area but had no luck. Her friend that was with her told me she thought they were over a little farther away, closer to the water. I moved my search about 20 feet and sure enough within a few minutes I had her ring in my scoop. She couldn’t believe it and was so excited to have her ring back. A great happy ending ( better than sitting at work LOL )

It was just after 2 pm when a British man, Olly, called stating he lost a small gold ring his grandmother had given him. The ring was very important to him although it did not have extreme monetary value. He said he was visiting Fréjus (France) and while walking on the local beach this morning, the ring slipped off his finger in shallow water. He asked if I could attempt to find it. Fortunately, he knew exactly where he had lost the ring. However, he could not meet me at the location because his return flight home was about 8 pm. It is ALWAYS preferable to have the owner present to precisely identify the location (see later). I quickly started the 1 hr 45 min drive while my wife got additional google maps and photos from Olly. When I arrived, I found that the beach was actually a combination of 4 mini-coves so I looked at the photos Olly had sent and the map. Based on my review I chose the most likely location and searched about 3 hrs without success. While returning home I called Olly to report. While discussing the location he believed I searched the wrong beach and asked if I could go back and search a different location. I agreed. I used the same info as before but applied it to the new location. After searching about 20 minutes, I received the sound we all like to hear with a low VDI reading. On the second scoop …success! I took a photo and sent it to Olly who was nearly ready to board the flight home. According to my wife, Olly was extremely pleased . The ring will be sent immediately to be reunited with Olly.
Rusty’s wife sent me a message asking if I had time to look for keys lost at a Pine Knoll Shores beach access. Rusty realized that morning he was missing a few keys and they believed they were lost the day before. After explained the area he was that day, I began the searching. As I was running out spots to search, I received a strong signal. I checked the area and spotted the key ring barely protruding from the sand. I sent the picture to Rusty’s wife and he met me as I was leaving the beach with keys in hand.
Hide-and-Seek….
…..was the last outside game being played into the night of July 4th, and as Jackie, her son along with other family members were finally found, upon entering the house, her husband noticed his wedding ring missing. Frantically searching the yard to no avail left them wondering where it went. With her husband having to be away from home the next day Jackie and I agreed to meet and search for the ring. Quickly grid searching the areas with my MXT metal detector I got a few junk signals. As I started to close in on a certain section, I got a good signal below a clump of grass. Pinpointing the signal, I reached down and moved the clump of grass out of the way and yelled out hide-seek-found! Jackie and her son came running over to the spot and couldn’t believe the ring was where it was! Putting the headphones on her son and letting him sweep over the ring with the metal detector left a thrilled expression on his face as he verified that it was his dad’s ring! Hopefully this left a great impression on him to someday take an interest in seeking out hidden treasure!

On Friday Night, July 7th, I received a text from Domenic. In the text, Domenic stated that a ring, gifted to him by his now deceased Grandmother, had slipped off his finger, while “diving into a wave, approximately 75-100 feet from the high tide line”. Domenic went on to describe the ring as a “simple metal band with LOVE inscribed in a groovy-funky 1970’s – esque writing with a spot below the O, for a gem”. In Domenic’s own words, “I haven’t taken that ring off since she gave it to me 2016, and I’m heartbroken that I lost it”. Domenic also told me he found me through an internet search and that he was back in Boston as he had to work the next day.
I immediately called Domenic back and he described the area where he lost it, while swimming the day before. Since he was swimming at high tide, I told him I would go down 1st thing in the morning and follow the tide out with my metal detector. I arrived at Pine Point, Maine, an area within Scarborough, Maine and about 20 minutes south of Portland, Maine. I fired up the Minelab CTX-3030 at 5:20am and started a grid search, parallel to the beach and just followed the tide out. After 1:44 minutes, I received a strong loud signal, reading 12-46 on the VDI Screen. I scooped out one scoop full of sand and I saw just a sliver of something silver in color, laying on the beach. I picked it up and it was a ring with a funky “LOVE” written across the front. After 2 days of being in the ocean, I had found Domenic’s gifted ring.
Domenic had already gone home to the Boston area, so I sent him a text telling him I had recovered his ring. Domenic sent back a text saying “Oh wow, what a great message to wake up to! You are amazing”. We then made plans to meet up the following day to return his ring. Domenic made the approximately 2 hour drive from his home in the Boston area to Pine Point. We met in Old Orchard Beach and a very happy Domenic received his VERY SENTIMENTAL ring back. Who doesn’t just love a good ending? I am proud to be able to help people like Domenic and return something they thought would be lost forever.
Andrew lost his ring on the beach by putting his ring in the chair cup holder for safe keeping! Unfortunately while having so much fun on the beach he forgot about the ring and lost it. He provided me with a picture he took on the beach and I was able to use it to guide me in the general area and after about 15 minutes … BAM!!
