A sentimental piece of jewelry was lost and found by Theringfinders Metal detecting service in Carlsbad Ca.

On Sunday July 16th I was testing a Newly modified Pulse Induction Metal detector machine at Carlsbad beach while also removing a whole lot of trash left in the sand and only 30min later I found a Silver bracelet.

I was glad to hear a smooth threshold and Find a possible Item to return to the owner. The next morning I was about to post found silver bracelet in the san diego lost and found when I noticed an add that said; Lost a silver bracelet in Carlsbad.The same Place! What are the chances it’s theirs? So I emailed him right away with a description of the one I found. It Turned out to Not be his but was near the same area I had found that bracelet.

I offered to help search for it and Anthony responded via email promptly and was able to send 2 of his family members to meet me A.S.A.P at the exact location of where it was lost plus provide extra details needed for this recovery. I asked them the story behind this silver chain and they mentioned it was handed down by there Great Grandfather to a son.

Oh Wow I said to myself.This was a huge sentimental piece of Metal that is worth maybe a Million monotary dollars to the family and I really hoped I can help them FAST!

I began a grid search in the hottest spot swinging the detector when a buddy John Hughes and also a member of Theringfinders was coming down to help us.That is when I got a rare but very familiar Non ferrous Tent stake sound and kicked the sand with my toes…Then A heavy Silver bracelet came popping out of the sand shining like Diamonds forever.. along with many smiles😀

Soon after we met their father Anthony and got to hear more about the history of this Family heirloom Silver bracelet that was recently handed down to the great grandson.

What an awesome story to share and a Great service to be apart of.

Thank you Anthony for the generous reward and best regards to your family.Every pennie helps me help others in need.🇺🇸

I am available 24/7 Feel free to call or text me at 760 889 2751

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement & Wedding Rings at Paradise Cove…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:


This ring find began on 11 July when I got a call from John who was visited Hawaii with his family and they reside in Katy Texas. While attending the Paradise Cove Luau the previous weekend John & Doty went into the lagoon to observe the Native Hawaiian Fish Net Casting event. While standing in waist deep water the waterproof pouch John was wearing broke open and all their precious items fell into the lagoon. John & Doty were able to find the cellphone and John’s Wedding Band but Doty’s Platinum Engagement and Wedding Band disappeared. After returning to Texas John located me through Aloha Security. We went on Google Maps and I asked John to split the lagoon in half and tell me which half to search in. The lagoon is small so I knew I could finish a half in about 45 minutes to an hour. After my search I found a large silver ring and some change but neither of Doty’s rings. I returned to my vehicle and gave John the news. Then John apologized and said he made a mistake and it would have been in the Southern half. He noticed the public entrance path and realized they were straight in from that point. Well after seeing Doty’s Engagement ring on her daughter’s toe I knew I couldn’t give up so I went in and did the Southern half. This half of the lagoon is very shallow and the water from the Northern half surges in and exits out the Southern side. As tiny as the rings were and the surface area exposed I figured the surge could put those rings anywhere in the Southern half. My hunch was right at the farthest out point along the rocky area. Shortly into the hunt I got a nice Platinum Tone and one scoop down there was the Engagement ring in my scoop. A few feet away I got another nice tone and there was the Wedding band. A local couple along the shore could tell I was pleased and asked, “What did you find?” I showed them the two rings and they were in awe. The gentleman offered me an ice cold Heineken which I couldn’t turn down as my throat was parched. We talked story for awhile then I needed to tell John & Doty the great news. After hearing Doty crying in the background that was all I needed. John asked if I would send the rings Express Mail and Insured which as you can see they have arrived safely back in Katy Texas. The entire family gave me a “SHAKA”. Aloha to Doty, John and the Kids!

Lost Platinum Ring in Crystal Cove Found and Returned

  • from Seal Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I was finishing up a search searching for someone’s lost jewelry this Sunday and I was approached by someone that said, “Can you please help us? My friend just lost his platinum wedding band”. I walked over and met Paul. He just told me that he was playing in the sand with his family and lost his platinum wedding band and that his wife was going to kill him. I swung the coil a few times in the area that he showed me and surprise! Within a minute it was in my scoop. He said, “you did that like it was nothing!” I said, “Finding it quickly was the easy part, the 30 years of practice was the hard part”. I made sure Paul was on the way home to his wife and ensure he would not be in the doghouse tonight.

Lost Ring Pensacola Beach – FOUND!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

This was a neat story.  A nice lady on the beach at the Portofino Condos in Pensacola Beach stopped me and said that she wished I had been there a couple of days earlier.  I asked her why and she proceeded to explain that BOTH of her sons had lost their wedding bands in the gulf within minutes of each other just a couple of days before.  I asked her if anyone had looked for them and she said no one had with a metal detector.  I explained about Ringfinders and told her what I did and told her that even though I really wished she had called me a few days earlier, there was still a chance I could find them.  Well, long story short I was able to find her son Jacob’s but not his brother Zach’s.  I spent hours looking for Zach’s and even came back two more days to look but unfortunately I was only able to find Jacob’s.  I had to mail it back to Memphis, TN but as you can see by the picture, Jacob was thrilled when he realized it was really his ring in the mail.  Zach had some closure and appreciated me looking and has promised to call immediately if he ever loses something valuable again.  Congrats Jacob on getting your ring back!

Man’s 14K Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned on Ocean Isle Beach NC

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

I got an e-mail from Kim asking if I could help find her husband Trevor’s lost wedding band during low tide. I responded saying that there shouldn’t be a problem and we agreed to meet at 7:30pm. During the 35 minute drive, I noticed a nasty storm brewing and moving my way quickly. I met Kim and as we’re walking to the beach she told me what happened. She said her husband had lost his ring the day before while wave surfing with the kids. They had been out later that afternoon and searched with no luck and her husband didn’t want to waste anymore vacation time looking for what he thought was gone for good. She had (discreetly) looked on the internet and found me though TheRingFinders directory and decided to contact me for help.

We walked out on the beach to an area in the wet sand marked on 4 corners with a big X . I’m watching the storm move closer, with big lightning strikes off in the distance, so I started my grid search.  I wasn’t finding anything between the X’s so she told me that the ring could be a little outside of the X’s that she had previously marked. I expanded the grid and on my third row I hit a good solid 59-60 on my AT PRO. It took me 3 scoops to get the ring out of the hole. I dumped the sand on the beach, spread it out with my foot and saw a small glimmer of gold. I reached down and picked it up, blew the sand off the ring and turned around to give it to her. She was overwhelmed with joy and a few tears were shed, which gets me every time! I got a huge hug just as her husband and 3 kids were walking onto the beach. I think she had just texted him that we found his ring. He was extremely happy as well. It just doesn’t get any better than this and this is what it’s all about.

Kim and Trevor thank you for everything including trusting me to find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a very safe trip home.

Jim

Lost wedding ring in The Lake Of The Ozarks

  • from Cape Girardeau (Missouri, United States)
Contact:


So, the amazing wasp sting was not the only excitement from the 4th! The final chapter was closed today – and E and I can breathe a sigh of relief.

On Saturday, July 1, the day could not have started off any better, kids playing and getting along. Then Stacy Van Iten, Bob, and myself heard the “oh no!” from Erica. Drop…..splash……in goes her wedding ring, to the bottom of the lake of the ozarks! Lucky for us, it was less than 10′ under the dock. Unlucky for us, it was Ozark water.

No sweat, we have insurance. I looked for it with a colander for a while sifting through inches of leaves, nothing. We tried a magnet, no luck. We had an offer to wait till the water recedes and use a metal detector – good plan! We go on about our weekend with great friends.

Fast forward to July 3, we are on our way home, and reality set in. The ring meant more to us than a replacement, the engagement, the wedding, and the anniversary band! Tears started flowing down her cheek – I had to do more.

I called the local dive shop and hired them to dive down to search for it. I drove all the way home, turned around and drove back down to the lake to meet the diver in the morning of July 4th. JJ went down with scuba gear with no luck – over an 1.5 hour dive.

I was disheartened, but needed to do more. I get on https://theringfinders.com/ and search for all the individuals listed in MO: called and talked to a gentleman in Lee’s Summit, Warrensburg, and Cape Girardeau. It was only when I spoke to Paul J. Miederhoff that I was assured he could find it. He actually told me “piece of cake” and to tell Erica he will find her ring! Wow – let’s do it I thought!

On July 5th, Paul starts his journey to the lake. He arrives and it is raining so he waits a while. He dives for 2 hours with a metal detector no luck. Since he was so far away, I agreed to get him a hotel. He text me that night saying he would find it in the morning, “I am confident” he reassures me. At this point, erica and I were planning for the worse case scenario – buying a new ring.

On July 6th, Paul again show up to start the search. He dives and pulls of plenty of debris, nuts, and bolts. I go about my day at work, in meetings here and there. I walk back to my desk and my phone is ringing, it was Bob. I thought he was calling to tell me that Paul was done and they could not find it. He asks me “did I get his text” I said “what text?” He asked me to check to see if it was the ring, I was absolutely blown away – THEY FOUND IT!

A gentleman I had never met before, not paid a dollar – drove over 200 miles to search for a wedding ring that plunged into LOZ! “Piece of Cake” Paul saved a really important piece of “us”!

Thank you Paul J. Miederhoff of The Ring Finders. If you know anyone that loses a ring, please have them get on RF and search for someone in their area to help! We lucked out and found Paul!

A special thanks Bob, Stacy, Al, Dottye, Jim, Brett, and Brooke for putting up with the craziness that ensued after we lost the ring!

Photo 1: Picture of “Piece of Cake” Paul and Erica – he drove all the way to Liberty and even agreed to meet us at Nile’s T-ball game!

Photo 2: And the ring back in it’s rightful place!

Canadian visitor finds his ring and some PURE MICHIGAN hospitality.

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I found a mans gold wedding ring tonight for one of our Canadian neighbors who is in town working. He was staying at Hampton Inn in Wyoming, MI and walked 1 block from the Inn to Spectrum lanes for a bite to eat. Because of his job he  takes off his ring. Sunday night before going out he had put his ring in his back pocket and later discovered he had a hole in his pocket when he got back to the motel.
Justin W. found me on line and gave me a call. Living close by I told him I would meet him at the motel at 7 pm. I called Dave Boyer my Ring Finder partner and after some obvious questions we started the search. Dave went North from the lanes and Justin and I walked South from the motel.
We waited for the light to change at 54th and Clyde Park to cross. While standing at the crosswalk I looked out in the intersection just outside the crosswalk between the lanes and I saw what looked like gold foil, as we crossed the street I bent down and picked up what was the ring. When I got to the other side I looked at Justin and said “is this your ring?” Justin holding back his emotions and looking at the slightly bent and pitted gold ring from being run over, smiled and acknowledged it was his ring. Justin’s picture was not available for our book of smiles because of his emotions over the found ring, he is very happy though.
Justin lost the ring on Sunday night it sat in one of the busier intersections for 5 days only to be found by The Ring Finder on a Friday night.

There is an additional picture to add to this story. As I had mention to Justin yesterday, he should go to Russell & Ballard Jewelers to fix the ring. He did just that Saturday morning and Colin Ballard took care of his ring and here is the picture.

Man’s Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned Pawley’s Island SC

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

Mark sent me an e-mail saying he was in Pawley’s Island SC vacationing with his family from PA and asked if I could help find his wedding band. I responded saying I’d be glad to help and I’d be there the next day at 2pm.

When I arrived Mark showed me the small area he believed his ring was lost the night before while sitting on the beach enjoying the evening. He stated he had taken his ring off and put it in the cup holder to his beach chair.  A couple  of hours later after returning to their beach house he realized he didn’t have his ring and had forgotten it in the chair. I started a grid search and was having problems with my PI giving off a loud constant steady tone instead of the whisper tone I was expecting. Luckily I had brought another machine and after about 30 minutes and expanding my grid search out I hit a good signal and BINGO. I kept the ring in the scoop as I extended it out to Mark to retrieve. He was extremely excited to have his ring back on his finger.

Mark and Pauline thank you so much for trusting in me to help find your treasure. Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home.

Jim
