2 White Gold Rings – Wedding band and Engagement Ring Lost in the Yard, Found and Returned Galivants Ferry SC

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

Around 5 pm on Tuesday, June 3, 2026 after finishing up another search, I saw a text message on my phone. The text read, “Hi is this Mr. Wren? I found you on Google. I’m in Galivants Ferry SC, but wanted to see if this is too far out for you to help find my wedding ring and band.” I called the number attached to the text and talked with Sophia. She explained that she had lost her rings in her front yard. She gave me her address and I plugged it into my phone map. Told her I’d be there in about an hour and 20 minutes and was on my way.

When I arrived, I saw Sophia and her husband   Hunter sitting on the front porch. I met both in the front yard and Sophia showed me the area she thought the rings would be from the day before. However, she also said that she and Hunter had been out until late in the night with flashlights with no luck. She also said it had rained hard that night and was afraid the rings may have washed away. I assured her the rings were still where they fell. Although I had my Equinox 800, this was going to be a completely visual search. After searching the majority of the front yard, I decided to move my car out of the driveway. Hunter followed suit and moved their vehicle as well. I extended the search out and by now Hunter, Sophia, a neighbor and her son had joined in the search. Shortly after moving the cars, I spotted the wedding band and handed it to Sophia. A few minutes later Hunter spotted the engagement ring. Both rings had been hiding under their car the whole time. Another great ending!!!

Sophia – Thank you for calling me to help find your treasures and get them back where they belong. I wish all the best to you and Hunter!!

Gold Wedding Band – Recovered in Pittsburgh Suburb – Brian Carpenter 814-244-2300

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I was contacted by Ryan’s wife that he had lost his wedding band at a ballfield. He had went out and tried to find it with a metal detector but was unable to do so. I could not head out immediately and then we got pushed back due to the ballfield being at a school. Finally we were able to meet up and Ryan showed me where he believed the ring was lost. I told Ryan it was a pretty standard search and he could do whatever while he was waiting for me to search. I had told him I brought a few different metal detectors and he asked if he could use one and search as well. Not my normal protocol but it was a large area and it could be done without the machines interfering with each other. I gave him a quick tutorial on how to use it. I only had one pin pointer and had kept it with me for the tall grass. I started at one end and Ryan started at the other. During the search we had a few false alarms where Ryan had a hit but upon further investigation it was not the ring. Then suddenly it was not a false alarm as Ryan hollered over with a big smile and his ring in his hand.

It was awesome that it was recovered and I told Ryan he might have a future as my wingman. He had sworn that he was over that area before with a detector. It is hard to tell as we all know this can be a game of inches but if he was it is also a testament to having the right equipment for the job. It was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and have the twist of him using some of my equipment to find his ring!

Lost Wedding Set in the Gravel While Playing with Her Toddler in Phelan, CA – FOUND!

  • from Corona (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from Kimberlee who said she lost her wedding and engagement rings in the gravel at her house. She said, like many others who I’ve helped, she debated trying to rent a metal detector. Some have gone out and bought a cheap one then realized they don’t know how to use one. Don’t waste your time. Call/message or email me right away! 

I told Kimberlee I could meet up at her house the next morning. When I got there, Kimberlee said she was playing with her toddler in a graveled area where they were looking at shiny rocks. She said she had her rings in a pouch she was wearing and at some point they fell out.

The rings were lost 2 weeks ago and Kimberlee said she has been visually searching the area, with no luck. She checked on a metal detecting club site and heard about TheRingfinders.com and found me.
I started a grid search of the area and eleven minutes later found the wedding ring sitting in the gravel. While showing Kimberlee her ring I confirmed her engagement ring was also lost. When I looked back down by where the wedding ring was, I saw the engagement ring. The expression on Kimberlee’s face and watery eyes said it all. She asked if she could give me a hug? I’ll never turn one down.

Kimberlee’s teenage son had come outside and she had told me earlier he was interested in metal detecting. Since I located two other targets during the search that I believed would be coins, I let him put on my headphones and use the detector to hear what the tones were like. He then dug two quarters. Happy mom, happy son.

Lost – Mens Platinum Wedding Ring, Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I had just gotten into my car for a couple of hours of metal detecting when my phone rang. I was headed to a spot in South Daytona when Amro called. Referred by my good friend Mike, he explained that he had lost his platinum wedding ring while swimming in the surf in front of the Daytona Grande Oceanfront Resort.

I told him I was on my way and should be there within thirty minutes, depending on parking. As I drove, I prayed that I would find both a parking spot and the ring.

When I arrived, a close parking space was waiting for me. I gathered my gear, walked onto beautiful Daytona Beach, and met Amro in front of his hotel.

He showed me an area, about thirty feet long that stretched from the wet sand into the waves. “Somewhere in here I felt it slip off,” he said, pointing to the northeast corner. “If I had to guess, it was right there.”

I fired up my trusty Minelab Manticore and began carefully gridding the area, working from the wet sand into knee-deep water. Nothing. Not a beep, not a whisper.

I decided to expand the search. The south side came up empty, but only a few swings into the northern section, I got a strong signal. Just as a wave pushed me off target, I relocated it and took one scoop. Instantly, I heard the unmistakable jangle of a ring in my basket.

Found!

I held the ring high, and Amro came running through the surf. With a huge smile and a grateful hug, he was reunited with the platinum wedding ring from his four-year marriage to his lovely bride Saresh.

Another happy ending on the beach.

God is good.

Lost something important? Maybe I can help. I’m Ed Duffey, a Central Florida metal detecting specialist focused on recovering lost items. Whether it’s a ring, jewelry, keys, or even a phone, I search beaches, parks, yards, and shallow water—just about anywhere it might be hiding.

If it’s metal and it’s lost, there’s a good chance I can find it.

Pine Knoll Shores- Boat Captain Loses Watch Overboard. Found And Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

 

Watch snags and breaks during fall from boat.
Pine Knoll Shores, NC
Mark said he was walking along the port side of his boat when the part he was holding came loose, sending him into the murky water by the dock. On the way down, his watch caught on something and was ripped from his arm, injuring him. Mark called me, and I got there as quickly as I could. The water smelled unpleasant, and the bottom was soft. I didn’t realize the watch had broken into two pieces. My first strong signal underwater was part of the watchband, then a stainless bolt, and a couple of feet away, the rest of Mark’s Tag Heuer watch.

Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Olathe

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

On Friday, Alissa took off her 4 carat, white gold wedding band to do work in her backyard patio area.  She laid it on the outdoor table for safekeeping.  Later, her husband joined the effort and “moved” the table to clean around it.

When they wrapped things up she realized her ring was no longer on the table and nowhere to be found.  They searched diligently but had no luck and the next day bought a metal detector.  Two days of searching and frustration led her to the RingFinders and I arrived Tuesday evening to help.

My first 30 minutes of searching did not produce the ring but the area had lots of “trash” targets.  These spurious signals were primarily metal items left just under the surface from the home construction and 30 years of back porch use.  So we started the painstaking process of removing every single piece of metal from the area most likely to hold the ring.

Finally, after another 30 minutes of unearthing foil and screws and coins and pulltabs from the ground, we got the solid tone we were looking for.  Bam!

I’ve never tried to make a grown man cry, but it happened right before my eyes.  Another ecstatic and relieved customer!

Oura ring lost, found and returned in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:


Emily lost her Oura ring while gardening at night. Her boys tried to find it with their toy metal detector but could not find it so they called the Ring Finders. She was “98% sure” she lost it in a specific area. There was so much metal edging, garden trash and overhead wires it was a bit difficult. After being unsuccessful in the area she thought I checked her path of travel. I spotted it, no detector needed.

Ring lost and found in Peyton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:


I took a field trip to Peyton, Colorado today because Tony lost his tungsten carbide wedding ring. He was shooting a basket ball while sitting down when his ring flew off. He even got it on video, impressive. I heard the ring hit something on the video but could not see it. He was “sure” it was in the rocks. After a quick unsuccessful search in the rocks I started in the grass. After on pass near where he was sitting I found it! He seemed interested in detecting, so maybe we have another detectorist in the community!

Metal detecting service finds lost gold wedding ring on roadside, Clermont, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Do you need a metal detector to find something that is lost in your yard or at the park? Why not hire a professional metal detecting expert instead. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029! On land, in the park, the grass, sand, in cars, homes…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers, etc.

Donovan was doing some work along the Florida Turnpike in Clermont, Florida and after laying out cable and then loading up the company truck he noticed that his wedding ring was no longer on his finger. He checked his gloves and then the truck and retraced his steps hoping to spot his lost gold wedding ring. He and his coworker searched for over an hour and finally realized that they probably needed a metal detector along with someone who actually knew how to use it to help find his lost gold wedding ring. Donovan found my number on theringfinders.com website and after hearing his story I met him later on that afternoon. He explained that there were two places where he was fairly sure he lost his ring…so at the first location he explained how he had laid out a few thousand feet of fiber optic cable in a large figure eight but I searched the immediate area and then further out just to be sure but his ring was not there. The second location was a much larger area and he explained how he again laid out another large figure eight of cable and also had run down a steepish hill where he said at the bottom of the slope he said he shook his hands…but again after covering most all that area…still no ring. I asked Donovan if there was anything else he might have done that could have made his ring come off and he said at one point he threw a large plastic traffic cone down the hill so that was an area that deserved a good look. I searched all along the downhill trajectory that the cone would have taken and then went to the top where Donovan threw it from and low and behold there was his lost gold wedding ring…behind where he stood and slightly over his right shoulder. Donovan could not believe that I was actually able to find it and he was very, very happy and could not stop smiling and thanking me!

Have you lost something and need a ring finders help? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

Lost The Only Key Fob In A Fifty Five Acer Field, Edmonton Alberta Canada.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Nait called requesting my assistance in locating his only car key fob which was lost in a farmer’s field in South Edmonton on Saturday evening.

After asking Nait my usual questions I agreed to help him in locating his keys.

I meet up with Nait at the location he indicated as three possible likelihood areas in the field his key fob could be.

After eyeing the area I informed Nait that his keys where lying on top of the grass because the tall grass  had fallen down after the snow had melted in some areas, while the grass in other areas remained standing up.

After searching the area that Nait believed his key were in and not finding them, we took a break due to the rain.

Nait then contacted one of his friends who sent him a pin location to the general area where they were that evening.  According to the pin location the keys were totally in a different location in the field.

We headed out to the pin location and within ten minutes found his key fob within approximately 100 feet of the pin.

We are aware of the high cost of replacing a BMW key fob or any Key Fob, and the expence of towing his vehical to the dealership!

Thank you Nait for trusting me to help you locate your key fob.
