College championship ring recovered from red river beach Harwich Massachusetts

  • from Orleans (Massachusetts, United States)

Tuesday July 31 2018

i took a minute while at work to look for a text from a customer about ordering a product for their vehicle, by mistake I opened the browser on my phone and it popped up with lost and found craigslist for cape cod with a posting that was only a few minutes old and it had a phone number so I decided to call. The man who answered said he lost his college ring while wading in about waist deep water when he turned his back to a larger wave that knocked him over. I agreed to meet his friend down at the beach that afternoon to show me the approximate location. I arrived around 5:45 pm got the location and fifteen minutes later had the heavy chunk of 10k gold in my scoop, i exited the water and made the call to Doug who was waiting for a flight back to Minnesota and told him the “bad” news “it doesn’t fit my finger so I guess I’ll give it back” I don’t think he believed me that I actually had found it, the irreplaceable college championship ring but the pictures were proof the ring was safe and is now on its way back home to the rightful owner

Lost Tantalum Ring found on Volleyball court at Chicago Beach

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Received a call regarding a lost ring on a volleyball court.

Told me he lost it on Friday and contacted me on Tuesday, our courts are hit hard over the weekend so I really did not have high hopes of finding it but told him will give it my best shot.

This the first time I have been asked to find a Tantalum ring, honestly never even heard of it before this.

The old adage applies, they are never found where you think they should be, after about an hour of searching with no luck, I broadened my search area and hit it about 50 feet where he thought it would be, any way no matter happy ending..

Engagement Ring Lost On Country Road Near Holden, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

 

Brandon called me yesterday afternoon asking if it was possible for me to come out to Holden and look for his girlfriends lost engagement ring.  After asking Brandon a few questions I agreed to meet him around 5Pm.

I met up with Brandon in the town of Holden,  then drove another 5 miles to the location where the ring was lost.  The area consisted of 1/4 mile of gravel road and Brandon told me she was walking along the side of the road heading east which meant the ring could als0 be in the ditch. After 2 hours of searching the ring was found on the road and Brandon was so relieved to have the ring back that he immediately called his girlfriend to tell her the good news.

Thank you Brandon for entrusting me to find your lost Ring.

Carlsbad Metal Detector finds lost ring in the sand

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

Theringfinders metal detector service helped find and return a lost diamond ring in the sand.OPEN NOW 24/7 Call 760 889 2751

I received a call from John Hughes to help find a men’s ring at Carlsbad beach.He had already scanned over the 12X12 area multiple times with 2 different metal detectors but was not able to find it due to this type of ring being what’s known as a “Broken signal.” It is a chain linked style ring which can act as a non-conductive metal that disables most type of detectors from picking up the signal.
Fortunately I recently invested in a new high frequency machine that will pick up broken signals such as Gold Chains,gold earrings with an open loop etc.

When I arrived to the scene of the lost ring I met Johnny who had preserved an area in dry sand with beach chairs. I asked a few detective questions mostly about the style of this chain linked ring,then began my search.

After 5-10 minutes with a few small pieces of trash I got a steady low tone on my machine while shaking my sand scoop I had  unearthed Johnny’s hefty Gold diamond ring.He was stoked and relieved to have this precious metal back on his finger. What a great feeling it was especially as the local beach goers were clapping & cheering after it was Returned !

Thank you Johnny for the gratuity and John Hughes for calling me to help others.

Lost Ring Orange Beach – FOUND! 2 Day Search!

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

Well, this was a tough one but it turned out great!  Crystal and her family were staying in Orange Beach, AL while they watched her daughter’s team compete in the World Series of Softball. Two days ago they were enjoying a much needed break cooling off in the Gulf of Mexico right before the sun went down. Crystal was standing in waist deep water trying to catch one of the bouncing water balls when tragedy struck. As the ball hit her left hand, both she and her husband saw her engagement ring fly off her hand and into the water. They looked and looked and raked their hands through the sand with goggles and masks and all of the volunteers they could get but they were unlucky and couldn’t find it. A very distraught Crystal did get a bit of luck later however when she found me on TheRingFinders and sent me an email. So yesterday after getting what I consider to be very thorough starting point directions, I began my search in the Gulf. I spent hours and ended up gridding out a really large area and I dug everything from fishing lures to a cell phone deep in the sand. I just couldn’t find it. I was bummed out and beat up from all the digging and I made the call to a very sad Crystal. Well I will say that the occasional one I can’t recover absolutely haunts me and I lay there when I got home last night thinking about anything that I could have done differently. After checking the tide graphs again, I decided that I would try even deeper and use a different mode on my machine. My wife gave me the okay this morning and even offered to come along. I started out neck deep and after only 2 passes I heard a strong signal. I switched the machine over so that I could hear what it was made out of and instantly heard that awesome gold tone. After a couple of gentle scoops, I had Crystal’s ring headed back to where it belongs. She was so sad yesterday, it was fun to hear her beside herself with happiness today. I’m very happy for you Crystal, thank you for giving me the chance to find your ring for you.

Long Beach Island NJ Lost Wedding Rings Found

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)

I will let Jeanette explain the circumstances of our meeting…

Life Lesson 63: Never wear jewelry to the beach.

Life Lesson 64: If you do, never take it off to apply lotion.

And so it happened …

A beautiful, relaxing summer afternoon at the beach turned into the loss of my Cartier trinity ring. I had ignored those two life lessons, gotten distracted and now I was in a frantic search for my precious wedding band that had disappeared in the sand. We retraced my steps, sifted through piles of sand, all to no avail.

Early the next morning, while combing the beach again, I met a fisherman who told me about Dave, “the metal detecting man.” He said he had great results. I contacted him and explained my tale of woe. Dave, who lives at least an hour from Long Beach Island, promised he would do his best, but it would take some time.

On a rainy Saturday morning, about 10 days after my misfortune, I got a call from Dave. He had recovered my ring. My precious ring is back on my finger again.

We need more Daves in this world. He took the time to help a stranger in need – a life lesson in itself. Dave exemplified how to live. And I’m not the only lucky one who has been helped. Dave has been doing this for many years and has a treasure chest full of heartwarming stories to share. In a time when headlines are dominated by self-interest, here is a story of selflessness. People like Dave should be highlighted and celebrated. Thank you, Dave, the metal detecting man.

Ring Lost in the Sand for 2 Weeks, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

Friday, July 27, I was out doing a little metal detecting, trying to find a lost ring in waist deep water at low tide, from a month ago. I started talking with Connor, who is a North Myrtle Beach Lifeguard and was overseeing a section of the Cherry Grove beach. During our conversation, he mentioned that his girlfriend, Sanibel, had lost her silver ring in the dry sand about 2 weeks ago. I had him show me the area and told him I’d see if I could find it.

I walked maybe 100 yards to the area and was planning on doing a grid search. On my first line, third target, I had Sanibel’s ring in the scoop. I slipped her ring on my little finger, walked back to Connor, and he asked, “Did you find it?” I held out my hand so he could see it on my finger. He was overjoyed and couldn’t believe it was found. He plans on surprising her with the ring.

Connor and Sanibel, so glad I could help out and get the ring back where it belongs.

Man’s 3ct Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned Litchfield, SC

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

Damond called me at 10:30 p.m. telling me he lost his ring and wanted to know if I could help. He went on to say he was on his knees in the surf, and was playing with his 4 year old son when he felt his ring slip off his finger at about 7 p.m. He also said that he tried to grab it but it quickly sank out of sight, and he’d been out there searching for it. I got the location and told him I was on my way, and would be there in 45-50 minutes.

This was a gated resort so I had to wait until Damond showed up at the gate to get me in. I followed him down to the beach and got the details on the ring and the area he lost it in, which was a good 50 ft. by 50 ft. I first started a north/south grid line but with an outgoing tide I changed to an east/west and started in the middle of his suspected area.  One thing I’ve found pretty true to form is that most people go to the right when they enter the beach area, and this case was no different. I made about 5 or 6 passes and got a booming signal. One scoop and I had the target out of the hole. I spread the sand out with my foot, turned on my head lamp and saw the ring shining in the light. I was expecting a gold wedding band and when I picked up the ring it was “oh my God!!!” Damond was sitting on the beach access stairs when I called him down to the low tide line. I asked him to describe his ring, and then held it up and asked, “Does it look like this?” He couldn’t contain his excitement, and started doing the happy dance. I got a big bear hug. Awesome feeling!! After it was back on his finger, he told me that his wife had gotten it for him for father’s day and it had a lot of sentimental value, and I could see why. He also told me I saved the family vacation.

Damond, thank you for trusting me to find your treasure, it was truly my pleasure. Best of luck to you and your family.

Jim
