Lost Wedding Band Recovered Metal Detecting Scuba Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Jake was enjoying a day of golf and hanging out with friends at a local club. When finished golfing they went over to a dock on one of Minnesota’s beautiful 10,000 lakes. It was a nice hot day and they decided to jump in the water and cool off. While in the lake, Jake noticed his Gold Wedding Band was loose and slipping off his finger. He caught it in time and quickly got out of the water. He didn’t tell his buddies that was the reason he got out and before he could say anything, one friend “tackled” him back into the water. As Jake surfaced he noticed right away his ring had slipped off. As always, telling his wife Ashley about it was hard to do. Both Jake & Ashley started to search online for help and googled “how to find a lost ring in the water”. My profile from theringfinders.com came right up. We discussed how the ring was lost and what it would take for recovery and we planned to meet up in a couple days. I met both of them at the dock and started my scuba search. Right away I was getting hits on my detector from pipes, pipe stands, cans, old boat horn etc. I was really worried because there was so much junk right in the spot he was in, not to mention the muck & weeds. I piled up a bunch of trash in one spot so I could continue the search, luckily his ring was the very next “hit” on my detector. Congrats Jake & Ashley, glad I could help out.

Wedding Ring Recovered from the Sand in Avalon, NJ

Late one evening, I received a call from Richard after he realized he had lost his wedding band in the sand while enjoying the beach in Avalon, NJ. Like many people who lose jewelry on the beach, he knew that every passing tide could make recovery more difficult.

We agreed to meet at sunrise the following morning. Richard showed me the general area where he believed the ring had been lost, and I immediately began a careful grid search using my professional metal detector.

After about 15 minutes of methodically searching the beach, I heard the signal I was hoping for. Buried beneath the sand was Richard’s wedding band!

Watching the relief and excitement on a client’s face when they’re reunited with a treasured piece of jewelry is one of the best parts of what I do. Richard’s day started with worry but ended with a recovered wedding ring and a great story to tell.

Here’s what Richard had to say after the recovery:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“John met me on the beach brutally early in the morning to start the search. He methodically scanned the area where I thought I lost my wedding ring. Within 15–20 minutes the ring was found… unbelievable! Great and effective service! Highly recommended.”

Thank you, Richard, for trusting me to help recover such an important piece of your life. I’m glad we were able to get your wedding band back where it belongs.

Lost a ring on the beach? The sooner you call, the better the chances of a successful recovery.

Titanium Wedding Band lost In the Delta…Recovered!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

Bay Area Ring Finders: Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

After an exciting baby shower the day prior, Nina and her family spent the day on a little beach on Sherman Island in the delta.  The day was beautiful and the weather perfect.  That was, until Nina’s husband Chris lost his titanium wedding band when playing with his nephews in the water.  He was extremely disappointed to say the least and a dark cloud loomed over an otherwise perfect weekend.

I was made aware of the incident and agreed to perform a search the following day.  Water recoveries in the summer are always a welcome escape from warm inland temperatures, but this day was very windy and the water was choppy, not ideal for searching.

None the less, my boys and I made our way out into the water and started the process of locating the missing ring.  A number of objects in the water meant that this area most likely had never seen a detector.  Bottle caps, pull tabs (some very old), lead weights all made for a noisy and busy search.  I could tell with every piece of trash we pulled and minutes passing that Nina was losing hope.

When I recovered the ring I knew that Nina and her sister had not noticed.  I gave it to my oldest boy to take to the beach like all the other trash we recovered, but this time he asked, “did the ring look like this?”  Confused the two looked at the ring then all at once realized… We had Made The Recovery!

A celebration ensued and I even allowed myself to have a celebratory White Claw with my new friends.  I learned all about the two’s courtship, marriage, and the new special package about to bless their lives.  It was a joyous time and I was glad I got to take part in their story, however small my part was. It was a pleasure to meet you Nina and we wish you the very best!

Metal Detector Finds His Wedding Band After Only Being Married 2 Weeks!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)

This was a tough one! I only received a dot on a map of where the ring was lost and it was in the water! Gridding in the water can be tough. It did take a while but I finally got a faint signal and out came the ring. The marriage is saved!

Silver Pandora Bracelet Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

In the early afternoon of Aug 3 2026, I saw 3 different notifications on my FB account. All 3 were recommending me to a young lady, Ashton to help find her silver Pandora bracelet. In her post she had stated, “Hi everyone! I lost my Pandora bracelet on the beach around coconuts 2 days ago and I was wondering if it had been found.” Included in her post was a picture of the bracelet with a small charm attached. There was no need to follow up on her post, so I waited to see if I’d hear from her. At 2:27 p.m. I got a text on my business suite saying, “Hello! I was told to contact you for finding Pandora bracelets. I had lost mine 3 days ago and was wondering if you could help me find it!” I immediately responded saying, “Call me.” I included my phone number. A Short time later I got a call from Tate, a friend of Ashton. I got a little more information from him and told him I’d be there in about 15-20 minutes. I grabbed my Equinox 800 and was on my way.

When I arrived at the parking area for the beach access, both Ashton and Tate were sitting on the board walk stairs waiting for me. As we’re walking out on the beach, I learned that the day she lost it, they had walked roughly 2 blocks down the beach to Coconuts, a Tiki bar and grill, for lunch. They said that they walked in the high sand. So, I had Tate stand on the left side and Ashton on the right showing the extreme edges of their path. I started a grid search from one side to the other as we walked down the beach. After we got a pretty good distance down the beach, maybe 4 blocks or so, they came up to me and said, “we think we went too far.” So, we backtracked to a point where there was a path to the parking lot that Ashton said she had walked down. Just to clear that area, I started down the path with Tate close behind. About halfway down the path, I got a solid 15 on the 800’s VDI (visual display indicator). I assumed a silver bracelet would ring up in the mid 20s but wasn’t positive. When I’m on a search for someone, I check all targets just to make sure anyway. So, I moved the sand with my foot and pushed out a silver Pandora bracelet. Tate saw it and said, “I think that’s hers.” I reached down and picked it up and told him not to say anything. We both noticed the charm wasn’t on the bracelet, so I went over the area numerous times but couldn’t find it. Ashton had stayed at the entrance to the path, so I walked back to her and asked her, “What’s your bracelet look like?” As she’s pulling a picture up on her phone, I held the bracelet up and said, “Does it look like this?” She froze, couldn’t talk, and didn’t move, just stared at her bracelet and not believing it. While I was with Ashton, Tate was on his hands and knees going through the sand where the bracelet was, trying to find the charm. I went back over the whole path and couldn’t find the charm. Ashton said the charm only comes off when the bracelet isn’t clasped. So, it should have been right there but wasn’t. I went back out the next morning with my Gold Bug Detector and pin pointer and searched again with no luck.

Ashton, thank you for trusting me to help find your bracelet, it’s now back where it belongs. I wish you all the best in your life’s endeavors.

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Lost In The Beach Sand, Found With A Metal Detector, In Ocean Park, Maine Old Orchard Beach

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

? FOUND AT THE BEACH! ?✨

Talk about a rollercoaster of a day for a couple of newlyweds!

On July 11th, Jen and her husband Ryan—married for just one single month—were enjoying a beautiful Maine summer day on the beach in Ocean Park, Maine with 15 to 20 of their closest family and friends.

Suddenly, the unthinkable happened. Jen went to remove her engagement ring, and it ????????? ???? ????? ??? ??? ??????, vanishing deep into the sand somewhere in front of her. ?

The entire group jumped into action, searching the sand, but couldn’t find a trace of it. That’s when someone in the crowd made the brilliant suggestion to call The Ring Finders of Maine! ?

When the call came in, I was actually an hour away at Sebago Lake Maine , knee-deep in a water search for another lost wedding ring. I told the Ocean Park crew that Cheryl and I would head their way the second I finished.

Talk about luck—just 5 minutes later, I recovered the ring at Sebago Lake!

I immediately called Jen’s group back to let them know we were on our way. I gave them two crucial pieces of advice: ???? ?????????? ??? ????, ??? ???? ??? ???? ????? ???? ??????? ?? ??????.

When we arrived in Ocean Park an hour later, the whole group warmly greeted us. Jen showed me exactly where she was standing and the direction the ring flew.

And let me tell you, this group did a phenomenal job—they used children’s beach toys to create a large circle around the entire hot zone! A truly brilliant move. ??️

I kicked off my grid search at the top of the toy circle, working my way down toward the ocean. I finished my first pass, turned around, and started heading back toward the shore.

About 3/4 of the way back…????! I got the exact tone I was hoping for on my metal detector. ?

I pulled out my pinpointer, cleared the sand, and pulled out Jen’s beautiful engagement ring!

The second the ring cleared the sand, the entire beach exploded into cheering and clapping! ??

The heavy tension in the air instantly evaporated, replaced by pure joy and relief.

????’? ?????? ?? ???? ???? ?? ??? ????? ??? ?? ????? ??? ????? ?????? ???? ??????? ?????? ????? ???? ???????? ??? ??????! ??? ?????? ??? ?????????? ??????????!?
Congratulations again to Jen and Ryan on your recent wedding! I am so incredibly happy I could help save your summer day and bring that beautiful ring back where it belongs.

Moments like this remind us every day: ?? ???? ??? ???? ??? ?? ??? ?????, ?? ???? ??? ???!❤️

Lost something valuable in the sand or water? Don’t lose hope—call The Ring Finders of Maine at 207-423-3027.

Earring goes missing in Oregon yard, found with a metal detector

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)

Tiny gold Sunday morning, I received a call from Erin inquiring if I might be able to help find her earring that was lost in her yard. She explained that nine or ten days prior, she had been spreading fertilizer on the lawn. She drove below a low-hanging branch, and felt it catch on her ear. She quickly stopped, and found the back of the earring on her shirt, but the diamond stud was gone. She checked her clothing , the lawn tractor, and immediate area, but didn’t find it.
Erin then did what many others do, acquired a metal detector. She had the matching earring, but her detector couldn’t find the small amount of 14k gold in the mount. Then Google search, found me, and made the call.

It was great timing, and I was able to go over later in the day. I loaded two of my best suited detectors and headed out.

Arrived, met Erin, and went over the details. She had the other earring, so we placed it in a small ziplock. I dropped it on the lawn and ran the first detector over it. Nothing. Made several adjustments to settings, but still struggled to get a good response. Switched to the trusty Manticore with a 10” coil, and in gold field mode with some adjustments, I was able to get a faint but repeatable response.   I held onto the other earring as a reference, and began searching. Shortly into the search I decided to switch to a smaller 8” coil. Recalibration on the detector, and started again. Shortly thereafter, I hit a perfect target, good tone and display. Looking down, I saw the missing item slightly buried in the ground.
Erin was close by, so I said “I got it” and she excitedly came over. When she got to me, I of course couldn’t find it visually, and it took a few moments to find it again with the Manticore.
It’s always so gratifying to hand over something to another person they thought was lost forever.

This was a challenging search, with a great outcome. It was also amazing to meet people who traveled the same path as me, and reconnect with shared memories.

Dont Rent A Metal Detector Get A Metal Detectorist!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)

He is out of the Doghouse in Sandbridge VA! They put their wedding rings in the back of a zippered beach chair but forgot to zip it up. They did not realize they were missing until they got back home. They called me and I came out and started gridding the area. The first one was found about 10 feet away from where they thought and the second one about 3 feet from that. Glad to get them back to them.
