Sara called about her husbands lost White Gold / Diamond wedding band. Lost at a local play area while out with the kids. Hard to explain, though the ring was just a bit deeper than my detector can scan, I have an in-line sunray probe which I can get just a bit deeper into the play area – My last try and I very luckily scanned it – This was a one in a million shot, and it paid off!! Congrats to you and your husband Sara, so glad I could help out.
Darrin –
Patrick was out playing in the local park with his son with a boomerang type toy. Being afraid of losing his ring, Patrick took off his ring and placed it in his son’s hat which was on the ground. As they were bringing their play time to an end, Patrick’s son went to pick up his hat when he noticed it was crawling with ants so he gave his hat a kick. And with that Patrick’s ring went flying and disappeared into the grass. Patrick went to a local metal detector store and rented a detector. After several minutes of searching he had not found his ring and ended up calling me for help. Luckily I was only a couple of minutes away and even though I was running late for a dinner date with friends and my wife I couldn’t resist helping out.
After 15 minutes of searching my CTX gave me a nice ring signal, there sat Patrick’s ring peeking out of the grass. Quickly we gave high-fives and snapped a couple of photos so that I could race home to my diner date.

I was called by Chuck M. yesterday to find his wedding band that he lost while setting plants in his yard. Chuck and his wife Sharmon live on an 80 acre farm in a small village of Lennon, Michigan just north of Swartz Creek, MI.
While doing the planting Chuck noticed his ring missing after planting 2 small bushes and taking some dug up sod and dirt across the yard and throwing it in a ditch. Chuck and Sharmon looked for the ring with no results, frustrated, they went to their computer and found The Ring Finders and gave me a call. I generally have my Ring Finder friend Dave Boyer go with me on hunts as I go with him on his calls. We make a pretty good team with a high percentage of finds.
We arrived at the farm and introduced ourselves to the Chuck and Sharmon and after they pointed out the area they were working in we got to work. Dave turned on his AT Pro and went to the first bush and up popped a penny. He tossed it to Sharmon and we all thought it was the ring which got a big laugh. A moment later my Fisher F75 gave me a hit and there was Chuck’s titanium wedding band. The total search lasted about 2 minutes. Smiles lasted longer than the hunt and another happy couple goes into the Book of Smiles.
It was our pleasure meeting this nice couple today and finding his lost ring.
Nate was running late for his volleyball league game, so when he arrived at the courts he just hopped right in to the action. Within a minute of his joining the game his wedding ring slipped off his figure and landed in the sand of the volleyball court. He didn’t see the ring leave his figure but he noticed it was missing shortly thereafter.
Nate searched for his ring but would not find it as it had quickly sank out of sight in the loss sand. A few days later he found The Ring Finders and my profile, he contacted me and we set a date and time for a search.
I began my search pattern by running over the side of the court that he was on playing on when he lost his ring. I came up with a few targets but no ring. I then searched the opposing side hoping the ring flew to that side, no luck. I then switched machines and started another search pattern perpendicular to my original pattern. Within a couple of passes my MXT sounded off on a signal, I dug the sand out with my scoop. With in a few seconds the Nat’s ring was in my scoop. Nate was pretty darn happy, his wife had given up hope 30 minutes into the search. So she had a wonderful surprise when I dropped Nate off at home.
Nate’s ring is a unique one with wood and meteorite insets in white gold.

Mark was down on Gyro Beach for the evening with the boys. He dropped his wedding ring in the sand, knew where it was but the whole group after searching around,could not find it. He called me the next day, which was Thanksgiving Day, asking when I would be available to help him in his search. Experience tells me the sooner the better, I told him I will be there in 30 minutes. I got there before he did and could see by the scrape marks where they had been searching, 5 minutes later it was in my pouch. Mark arrived and was delighted to see his diamond wedding band, he tells me I saved his marriage.

This hunt started on July 14th 2015 when I offered ring finder services to a craigslist ad for a lost ring at Hale Koa Beach in Waikiki. David agreed and met me on the beach the next day. Not being positively sure David assumed his ring was lost while he was body surfing in large waves at Hale Koa Beach. The waves were strong enough to throw him up onto the sand so the best guess is when he used his hands to break his fall somehow and at some point it came off. I started my search in the wave bench and then moved out to chest deep water. A few insignificant targets but no ring. After covering the area thoroughly with no success David and I searched the area where they were on the beach and a few transit points back to the hotel but nothing. I told David there was a possibility the ring was at a depth I couldn’t detect but that the sand moves a lot here and the ring would eventually settle out in the wave bench if it in fact was lost while crashing on the beach sand. I’ve gone through the area 3-4 times and finally Tuesday night 6 October I got a solid but faint target in the wave bench. Six scoops later and low and behold there was David’s Rose Gold Wedding band. Wow! My theory was actually correct and thankfully we had some strong surf the night before that probably removed just enough sand for the Excalibur to detect the ring. It was at least 10-12 inches down in the wave bench sand. That’s a record depth for me. I emailed then called David that evening with a picture of the ring. Obviously he was pleasantly surprised. The ring is in the mail back to David in Las Vegas, Nevada. He still owes me a picture with a smile which I’m sure to get soon. Never give up! How no other detectorist in Waikiki didn’t find this ring leads me to believe it may have been divine intervention. Aloha to David.

I was contacted early last week by a lady who had lost her platinum diamond engagement ring back in February. She had been feeding the ducks when she lost the ring in the lake. She tried herself to find it and also another detectorist searched, but with no luck.
We arranged a day and off I went to meet her and her husband in Leicestershire. We were blessed with good weather , and after a short drive to the lake, her husband and I were in the lake. Me with detector and scoop, and her husband helping with another scoop. All I was finding was the occasional modern coin and just one piece of foil, a very clean lake I thought.
About three hours into the search and I hadn’t left the water, but I did not feel like giving up just yet. Then I started to get a signal with a very strong iron signal close by caused by the steel reinforcement in a concrete slipway. This was very annoying and quite off putting, there was also quite a lot of algae constantly clinging to my search coil. I noticed when I was moving the algae the signal would move, so the target had to be close. Put my hand in where the target was as I was now getting a double signal so it had to be just under the coil….out it came! “is this your ring” holding it up to attract her attention. She jumped up and ran over, she was so very happy to have that ring back . ” I’m not feeding the ducks ever again” she said.
Her face just said it all! She could not believe it and neither could I. It made my week knowing I had reunited a lovely couple with their engagement ring.
It was a great challenge for me, as water is not my favoured detecting environment. So bring on the next one!

Me and John Hughes Battled the crashing waves to Recover and return This Ring especially to show our appreciation for the battles they fight overseas and our Country they defend.We are honored to help!…Here is the story written by the Ring owner,Adam Bradach.
Where there is great love, there are always miracles.- Willa Cather. I love my wife. I love the life we have built together, and I often think about the day that I made her mine forever. Our wedding bands symbolize that commitment we made to one another. My wedding band not only puts the world on notice that I am married to a wonderful woman, but also is a reminder that I have a strong, beautiful lady by my side. A few weeks ago I took my family to the beach in Carlsbad. My wife and I know it is a hassle to bring our young children to the beach, but being that I am deploying very soon we wanted to give them a fun day out.
While there, I decided to take a dip in the water to cool off. As I was walking out of the ocean, I immediately could tell that my finger felt lighter. I looked down and I realized, to my horror, that my wedding band was gone. I was very sad and I knew my wife would be when I told her. When you lose something so small like that in an ocean you don’t expect to ever see it again. My wife was very sad and I could tell she assumed it was gone forever too. We stood on the shore for about ten minutes to see if it had washed up, but deep down we knew it would be impossible to find, so we went home. Over the next few days we talked about how we would save to pay for a new ring while I was deployed. We were both devastated though because the sentimental value of the ring would forever be gone…..
Then my wife found John Hughes on TheRingFinders.com. We had just put the kids to sleep on Wednesday night (four days since the ring was lost) and unbeknownst to me, my wife had come across an ad on a local resale page for John’s website. She thought it was a weird coincidence and after looking at the website she emailed John. I don’t think either of us really expected anything to come from the email, but my wife is a woman of faith.
John called me the next day and asked me all about the ring, where I lost it, and other important details. We met with him and his partner, Curtis, on Thursday evening at Carlsbad Beach. John told us that he had a good feeling about finding the ring and that he and Curtis would be searching all night. We were so impressed that these strangers were so willing to help us even just look for the ring. Then to our complete surprise and elation, John called the next morning to inform me that he had found my ring!! It was such a wonderful and happy day. John and Curtis had managed to take on the ocean and give me back such a special possession of mine. We are so truly thankful for their help. These great men even declined our offer to tip them. There are still great people in this world, and John and Curtis are two of those people. Even an ocean can’t stand in the way of true love. 😉

Alisha contacted me about her lost wedding ring. She had been to Silver Strand State Beach with her family last Sunday, and lost it out in the surf. She was in waist deep water when it slid off her finger and into the sand below. The visibility of the water at the time was poor, and try as they might, they were unable to retrieve it. Heartbroken and discouraged, she figured it was lost forever. Just contacting me gave her a small ray of hope, as I explained what needed to be done. We agreed to meet at the location where she could show me the search area. Having not taken any specific landmarks or photos to show the exact area, we would just have to do our best. She even waded out into the surf to give me an idea as to how far from the beach and how close to the breakers she had been. The conditions were not good. Very close intervals between waves that would sometimes overrun each other producing very powerful water flow and made it hard to keep your place to grid and/or scoop. After gridding both directions for about an hour and a half with my trusty Excalibur, I had only found 6 targets. 2 iron sounds that kept falling through the scoop until lost, 3 pieces of scrap metal, and finally, a ring. I headed up on the beach where Alisha was doing some business work while she was waiting, and asked to see a photo of the ring again. When she brought it up on her phone, I knew I had THE one! A happier person you will never see. I was pretty happy myself! Both for making her happy, and also, that I didn’t have to go back out in that surf to get pounded again! With a beautiful sunset, it ended a beautiful day and a continuing ring story. A pleasure to meet you Alisha and thank you for the very generous reward.
