Kennedy and her family were spending some vacation time here in sunny Florida at an Airbnb when early Sunday morning her young 2 year old daughter decided to collect her mom’s rings and hide them throughout the house. When Kennedy woke up she found one of her diamond rings on the kitchen floor and the other one tucked snugly in a corner of her daughters bed blankets. And the diamond wedding ring was no where to be found. Kennedy was beginning to feel desperate knowing they only had a few more days of vacation before heading back home to Michigan. Later that evening she typed into Google “Help me find my ring” and up popped one of my successful ring recovery stories and she sent me a text asking for my help. House searches are not always easy and thankfully there were a lot less toys and cloths and furniture and shoes, etc to look through being as it is a vacation rental. I started in the kitchen and using a very strong flashlight I searched carefully making my way to the 5 bedrooms upstairs…checking bathrooms and closets, under beds and in blankets. An hour and a half later I made my way downstairs and began in the laundry room where there were piles of cloths and suitcases. Ten minutes later…BINGO! There, behind a large suitcase, simply hiding down by the baseboard was Kennedy’s lost diamond wedding ring! Kennedy writes,”Mike and theringfinders are so kind and are life savers. Being from out of town on vacation, I had a limited time to find my wedding ring after my toddler hid it in our Airbnb. Mike was so helpful and found it within two hours. I am so thankful!”

Kennedy and her mother were so delighted and were beaming from ear to ear, saying how thankful they were for my help. How I thank God for allowing me to find her ring and to help bring relief and joy to their hearts!

How to find a lost ring in a Ball Pit amusement center! (Fort Greene, Brooklyn)

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

I have to admit, I was a little bummed when I got the call to turn around because they had found their ring. This looked like it was going to be an epicly fun search! But hey, I’m thrilled for this newly engaged couple—nothing like a happy ending (even if it means I didn’t get to dive into a sea of plastic balls). I ended up just providing guidance and mental support…

From the pictures, you can see the ball pit in all its chaotic glory, including the bottom. It seems like there wasn’t much metal to interfere, so this might have been an easy find. Might have been. I guess I’ll never know… unless fate (or another slippery ring) leads me to another ball pit adventure.

The baby picture is just for fun! lol

On the bright side, Josh told me to keep my come-out fee, so at least my disappointment was softened by a little silver lining.

Wishing this couple a lifetime of happiness—and hopefully, no more lost jewelry!

Lost Wedding Ring Rescued in the Snow

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

 

Frank lost a wedding ring…and not just any wedding ring. This ring belonged to his father. Frank’s father passed away when he was 10 years old, and his sister was seven. Neither of them at their age could comprehend that their dad was gone and not coming back. Their mother passed away in 2021 from cancer. She gave Frank his father’s wedding ring a week before she died. Inscribed inside the 18K gold ring was “Always with you, Love Mom and Dad”.

Frank was repairing a utility box on Monday, February 17th, 2025, damaged by a vehicle sliding off the snowy road into the ditch. He took off his left glove and hastily raised his arm so the sleeve of the jacket would come down on his arm. While he did this activity with some force, the ring popped off his finger and into the snow.

He looked for the ring on Monday and Tuesday without success. He went online and Googled “somebody that finds rings in Green Bay”. Fellow RingFinder, Tom Caldie’s name appeared at the top of the page. Frank reached out to him Tuesday evening. I spoke with Tom about the search on Tuesday evening and wished him luck finding the ring. Tom called me after the search on Wednesday evening and mentioned spending about three and a half hours searching without success. Tom gave Frank my contact information to see if I would give it a try since he was leaving town for the weekend.

Frank contacted me, and I agreed to meet at 11:00 AM on Saturday at the location where the ring was lost. Frank was not one to give up, especially for this ring. He was prepared to shovel snow with two of his friends using a large deep fryer used to boil turkeys in peanut oil, then let the snow melt, allowing the ring to appear.

Tom had left his detector with Frank to use, and his friend Drew was using it while Frank went back to his house and retrieve a lighter and propane tank to use the deep fryer. I had to change settings on my machine a few times due to electromagnetic interference from the underground power lines…lots of chatter, and it was very tough to hear solid tones. I searched in areas Tom had not detected and could easily see, looking at the snow that was not trampled down. I found the ring about 10 feet away at twelve o’clock or right in front of where Frank was standing when he raised his arm in about six inches of the fluffy white stuff. Frank and his other friend Jesse were unloading more equipment from the vehicle, ready to get some exercise. When they came near the utility box in the ditch, Drew and I planted the ring near a near the deep fryer. Frank was ecstatic the ring was found. The picture above shows a smile not coming off his face for a long time…from one Marine helping another Marine…Semper Fi

Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring Saved from the Sand at Southern California Beach

**Loran had been sitting in her beach chair at Newport Beach when she dropped her diamond engagement ring in the sand. She was devastated because she has only had the ring for 5 months. Her fiancé , Barry had borrowed a beginner level metal detector and was not able to find the ring.

They called me after finding my contact information  on line with a Google search. I met them within 30 minutes and it was a successful recovery. Timing is important with these losses on the beach towel line as the beach cleaning machines maintain this area daily. Also entry level metal detectors do not work well with small items in the mineralized beach sand.

On my local beaches, I have to respond to calls as soon as possible.   Rings lost in back yards or private property can be recovered days or years later. The other day I found a diamond ring in a sofa that was lost 11 years ago.

Lost – Men’s Gold wedding band, DeLand, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Sunday evening, I got a text from Ron. He was working in his backyard and had lost his gold wedding ring.  Since it was on his property, we agreed to meet in the morning to look for it.

I arrived at Ron’s home, where beautiful oak trees, adorned with Spanish moss, dotted the property.  Ron took me to the back of the lot and showed me an area with some planting beds adjacent to a fence and storage area.  He said he felt it fly but searched and raked to no avail.

I fired up the Minelab Manticore and started the search at the East end of the planting beds.  There were lots of targets, so I decide to walk and cover the entire area without investigating any of the hits.  As I got between the West of the planting bed and the storage area…something caught my eye!  I was looking at the twinkling of the gold ring in the sun.

This ring representing twenty-six years of marriage was a sight find!  I gave the ring to the happy owner!  God is good.

SILVER COIN COLLECTION AND GOLD POCKET WATCHES LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

 

Mike called me last week and told me that his father lost his house in the palisades fire. He had a large bag of silver coins and several gold pocket watches that he was afraid were lost in the fire.  I assured him that there was still a chance that it could be recovered.  I met his father and his sister Wendy in the morning to follow them to the property.  It was a large property and there was a lot of debris  to remove. Wendy gave me some ideas of were her fathers desk was located and the bags of silver coins consisting of quarters dimes half dollars and silver dollars were supposed to be located under the desk. I raked shoveled and sifted for a couple of hours when finally a giant blob of silver emerged from the ashes.  most of the coins had melted together. the mass was over 10 pounds of silver but you could see the outline of some of the coins. I also found some loose silver coins that had not fused with the blob. I also recovered three gold pocket watches  two sterling silver antique cigarette cases and a very sentimental silver letter opener that wendy’s father had gotten as a gift when he went to Israel many years before with his parents. I must have returned over 200 silver coins to wendy and mikes father but he was just as excited about the letter opener from Jerusalem.  The whole family was nice,  grateful and a pleasure  to talk to and it was my privilege to  be able to help them.

Lost wedding ring found in Charlottesville, Virginia.

  • from Charlottesville (Virginia, United States)

Lost your ring, jewelry, cell phone, keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Text or email ASAP 24/7 Mark at 434-987-0568.

I received a text message from Peter last night asking for help finding his wedding ring. He lost it while clearing brush from a steep leaf covered hillside behind his home in Charlottesville, Virginia.

I met Peter this morning at 8 AM and listened as he described where he was and what he was doing when he noticed his ring had come off. He was pretty sure that he had noticed right away when the ring was missing, so this really helped narrow the search area.

Starting at the bottom of the hill, I did a careful grid search working my way to the top in the most likely area. There were many metal targets, but nothing that sounded like a ring. Then I selected a second search area, and within a couple minutes got that beautiful sound that I had been hoping for. At the base of a small tree a few inches down in the leaves was the wedding ring.

This was my first recovery with The Ring Finders, and I was so happy to be able to return this ring to Peter and his wife.

Cellphone Lost on the Beach Saved from Beach Cleaning Machine .. Newport Beach, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

If you have lost something on the beach, timing is important. “ Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man for prompt response.. 1-949-500-2136


*** Phil called me early in the morning. He had lost his cellphone the night before in the sand. When he told me about the location of the loss my heart sank. The beaches in Newport are machine sifted almost daily. Especially the towel line where most the beach goers congregate.

I explained that our chances of finding it may be difficult because so much time had passed since the loss.  I was willing to give it a try if he could meet me at the location.

This time we were lucky. The beach king sifting machine had already passed through this section of the beach.  For some reason the tractor pulling the machine had swerved around a small section of the towel line  and it missed the cellphone. Amazing story that I could not believe.

Phil showed up a few minutes after I found the phone with my Minelab Manticore metal detector. The tractor and sifter tracks were still freshly visible in the sand. He was able to witness how close the sifting machine had missed his cellphone.

Another example that you can’t find it , if you don’t try.
