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

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

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.

Lost Ring Orange Beach – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Today was a great day!  I was on the way to pick up my son when Josh from North Alabama called.  Josh was frantic because he had lost his wedding band in the gulf a few hours earlier while throwing football with a family member.  His wife said not to bother even calling because they were in waist deep water and she thought it was a lost cause.  Josh looked up Ringfinders and got my number and decided to take a chance.  I am so glad he did!  The best part of today was that my son got to go and see what I do for people.  When I finally found it, I let my son hand it to Josh and my boy has not stopped talking about “how happy they were”.  Now he completely understands why I like finding things for people they thought were lost forever.  So Nice to meet you and your family Josh.  I am so glad I was able to find your wedding ring.

Lost Diamond and Platinum Ring in Zuma Beach Found in Rocks and Returned

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

I was metal detecting on Sunday morning with a friend at Huntington Beach at about 5:00 in the morning and took a break at 11:00 to get a snack. I saw that I had a few missed calls, so I checked my voice mails and called back. Veronica answered the phone, and told me that her mom Anna, had lost her diamond ring the day before at Nicholas Beach, about 80 miles away just north of Zuma Beach. Five minutes later, I was on my way. Once I got off the 10 freeway in Santa Monica over an hour later, I hit Pacific Coast Highway. Sunday beach traffic was quite challenging. An hour later I met up with Veronica. I followed her down to the beach and met Anna and her husband. What a nice couple! They showed me where they put the ring into a chair pocket the day before, and thought it was lost in that area in the sand. I worked the grid pattern and worked with the detector down to the water’s edge, but no signals. I hoped that the previous night’s high tide hadn’t bur  ied the ring or swept it out to sea. I asked Anna to retrace her steps when she left in a hurry because the high tide was coming in and covered most of the beach with waves. I worked the detector in between the rocks and got some large iron signals. Then I went over her husband’s matching ring to see the sound it was creating. I detected a few more minutes between the beach and the stairs and I got a crisp, loud signal. I said, “this sounds promising!” The next thing I knew, the ring was in my scoop. I handed it to her husband and he handed it to Anna, who was overwhelmed with joy. They had been happily married over 20 years and her ring was custom made, so it was extremely sentimental. It was a 3 hour drive home in Sunday beach traffic, but the looks of happiness and gratitude on their faces made it all worthwhile. It was a pleasure to help such a great family.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Washington Township Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Happy Belated Mother’s Day!

This nice lady gave me a call asking for help in finding a lost ring that was lost last weekend at an outdoor event at an open field behind her neighbor’s condo across the street. The ring was given to her from her mother and family for mothers day. She tried raking the area but was unable to pull it up. In listening to the circumstances she wasn’t sure where it may be since she was shopping and put the ring on her pinky and realized it must have slipped off during the day’s travels…as this was not the usual finger it was worn on. Waiting for the rain to pass, we checked her vehicle and talked more about where she last remembered having it on her pinky. Nothing showed up in the vehicle and the rain lightened up enough to search the field area.

I got a feeling to search from where her husband dropped her off at the curb, where she was carrying chairs to the event tents. Setting up my MXT I started to grid and got that sweet signal of gold! Coming in as +10 on the meter this beautiful ring was hiding right under the grass which was scheduled to be cut today and if it had surely would have been hit by the blade.

As I held it up you could see the happiness on her face, the smiles, and exclamations of excitement upon finding this gorgeous sentimental ring!

Thank you for reading,

More Than Rings Are Lost… and Found! Big Cedar Lake, WI

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Those of us listed on the directory for The Ring Finders can find a lot more than rings! Other valuables go astray, this as evidenced by the photo below. The items pictured were recovered at the same time that I was looking for a client’s lost wedding ring. These represent valuable property of another kind. Their owners no doubt still get a sick feeling when they think back to the time they first realized their possessions were missing. And so the next time you or someone you know loses valuable property, give me a call; I just might be able to help.

Stunning platinum & diamond ring recovered with help of Cyril, The Treasure Hunting Dog!

Platinum & Diamond Ring Recovered!

Beautiful Engagement Ring Found!

Today I received an urgent request from Melody, who lost her engagement ring over the weekend. Luckily I was able to rush out to look as soon as we spoke. Me and the dog hit the road!

Me and the treasure dog, Cyril, teamed up to search. He seemed more interested in eating grass and rolling around in smelly stuff than looking for diamonds, but I still consider him my lucky charm. After a short hunt… SUCCESS!!!

Melody did the right thing by reaching out for my help promptly, after searching… with no success, for her beautiful platinum and diamond ring. She provided me with the details that my detector and I needed to quickly find her ring in a highly trafficked area, where it could have been “lost” forever if someone found it before us. Time is of the essence when it comes to recovering lost jewelry!

Not every search is a success, so it was great confidence booster to happily reunite Melody with this important, beautiful ring! And Cyril couldn’t care less!

Platinum Stunner!

Breaktime!

Hunting ain’t easy!

WOW!

Tipsico Lake, Holly, Michigan men’s wedding ring recovered

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Walt Z. yesterday July 9. He was at his friends house on Tipsico Lake reliving their early days trying to dunk a basketball out of 3 feet of water. While coming up for a dunk Walt felt his ring come off and it was gone under 3 inches of sand before he could react to catching it. After searching for the ring for a while Walt gave up and looked up a ring finding service. Dave Boyer, my Ring Finder partner, and I arrived at the house around 11:30 am and began the search. The water was clear and the bottom was sandy with a hard pack underneath the sand. Dave decided to watch as the area was about 10′ x 10′ so I began a grid search based on where Walt thought the ring might be. Walt was pretty accurate as to where he thought it was and I came up with his ring in a few minutes after the search began. It was raining all morning so we got wet in and out of the water. Walt’s wife, Shellie, has a blog for women and said she was going to post the ring recovery on her blog. So the question remains, did Walt make his slam dunk?

Mens Wedding Ring Lost & Found On Studland Beach, Dorset

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Liam Russell & family from Frome, Somerset visited Studland Beach in June, attracted by the gentle sea & the almost white fine sand. The sand though, like many other ring losses proved yet again though – ‘drop it & its gone’!

In the past I have recovered rings whereby people have thoughtfully removed them, left them in a shoe or placed on a T Shirt only to be dropped later into the sand. This was such a case. These are easy recoveries as we know where they are but often sink deeper after people attempt to recover them themselves.

My worry was that it had been 24 hours since the loss & in an area often scoured by beach combers. Fortunately the ring had sunk sufficiently enough to lay undetected & recovered after about 10 minutes.

Liam was very eager to be reunited with the ring & drove all the way to my work to collect it. He was very grateful & kindly made a donation to Margret Green Animal Sanctuary.

Vacation time

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

Grand Falls, MO

We went out to Missouri to visit family. Of course, any vacation should have a metal detector available. I took my AT Pro. It does a nice job for land/shallow water. My son and I checked out Grand Falls. It’s a beautiful place with some interesting history. We also spent a couple of hours at a beach near Branson, and I checked out a park in Galina. We found the usual stuff like fishing weights, pull tabs, bottle caps, bits of jewelry, and clad coins. Another interesting thing we did was detect near an old stump next to my son’s house. Before air conditioning and hundreds of channels on TV, people spent more time outside, under & around shade trees. We ended up finding old keys, coins, and other fun artifacts from the past. I would like to try some old trees on property which has a longer history.

If I can be of service, the fastest way to get me is by text at 703-598-1435. I will contact you back ASAP.

RING LOST AT GYRO BEACH, OKANAGAN LAKE KELOWNA, RETURNED.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Charlie was having a great day on the beach with most of his family. On July 8th in Kelowna the temperature was in the high 30`s so the lake was a good place to cool off. Unfortunately for Charlie his 14k wedding ring came off in the water, the whole family searched for it with no success. Charle`s uncle found me on The Ringfinders website and called me, I responded within the hour and his family were still in the water. Its difficult to pinpoint the location but they were close and within 30 minutes I had the ring in my scoop, much to the delight of all the onlookers. It was hugs and kisses from the family and a big smile from Charlie and his wife.
