LOST WEDDING RING DROPPED FROM TRUCK ONTO BEACH SAND FOUND – EMERALD ISLE, NC

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

Bobbie-Jo had removed her wedding rings to apply lotion before a day on the beach. She was distracted and forgot to put the rings back on before leaving the truck that had parked on the Emerald Isle coastline. About an hour later, she realized they were not on her finger. They tried to search the sand for the rings and were not successful but knew the approximate area she left the truck. Bobbie-Jo remembered Crystal Coast Ring Finders being shared on a local Facebook group and she contacted me for assistance. I was in Ohio (which I spend months during the winter). I told her I knew some trustworthy friends that help while I am away. My friend Greg was the first to respond and headed towards Bobbie-Jo’s location very quickly. Greg said it was during his second pass his Minelab 700 sounded off and he had found the missing ring. It seems with teamwork it made for a great recovery

This turned out to be too good to be true, a ring was lost during a Dr. visit in a parking lot two years ago! I was asked to search the premises but wouldn’t do it until I had permission! A phone call was made the ring was found and held waiting for the rightful owned to claim it! Doing the right thing pays off even if we aren’t the one that found it.

Lost Wedding Ring in the Sand Recovered at East Beach Santa Barbara

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered on East Beach: Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finder Santa Barbara
If you’ve lost a ring in Santa Barbara, you’re in luck—Dave MacDonald of The Ring Finders Santa Barbara is your local expert for metal detecting and ring recovery. Last night, I received an urgent text from Joshua, a Bay Area resident visiting his daughter at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB). While enjoying a family day at East Beach, disaster struck: his wife’s platinum wedding ring slipped off into the sand near the high tide line. For locals and visitors alike, losing a ring on Santa Barbara beaches can feel hopeless—but that’s where I come in as DaveTheRingFinder in Santa Barbara.
The Search Begins on East Beach
Joshua explained that he and his wife had frantically searched the sandy stretch for 30 minutes with no success. That’s when their quick-thinking daughter searched online for “ring finder in Santa Barbara” and found me, Dave MacDonald, a proud member of The Ring Finders network serving Santa Barbara, CA. It was late, but time is critical in these situations—rings can sink deeper into the sand or get swept away by tides. I agreed to head out to East Beach right away and told Joshua I’d contact him once I arrived at the spot.
Joshua had marked the suspected location with a stick propped up in the sand. But when I got to East Beach—located along Santa Barbara’s scenic coastline near the UCSB campus—I found not one, but two sticks, spaced about 75 yards apart. This is common in beach recoveries; panic and shifting tides can confuse even the best memory.
Finding the Platinum Ring with Precision
As Santa Barbara’s trusted ring finder, I rely on my Minelab Manticore metal detector and years of experience. I started by gridding the first stick’s location, methodically sweeping the sand for any signal. Nothing turned up, so I moved to the second spot 75 yards down the beach. Halfway through gridding this area, I got a promising mid-tone signal—deeper than surface finds, suggesting the ring had settled into the sand.
Using my CKG scoop, I dug three times, and on the third scoop, I heard that satisfying clang—a sound every ring finder lives for. There, gleaming in the bottom of the scoop, was a stunning platinum wedding ring. Another success for Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finders Santa Barbara!
Reuniting the Ring with Its Owner
I immediately texted Joshua a photo to confirm it was his wife’s ring. His response? An enthusiastic “YES!” He was just 20 minutes away, so we arranged to meet up. Handing over that precious ring was a reminder of why I do this—bringing relief and joy to people in Santa Barbara and beyond.

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING IN RALEIGH, NC….. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

While in SC attempting another recovery, sadly didnt find that one, I received a text about a lost ring in Raleigh, NC, at a parks volleyball sandy pit area.

The couple were visiting from out of state and leaving soon. I advised them of the current laws and that I’d have to call the local police to see if I could get permission to try and find it. I called Raleigh, PD and they deferred me to the park staff/security. I called and spoke with the director of the park where the ring was lost. He advised me he would have to call his supervisor and said he’d call me back. About 30 mins later I get a call and the green light!!! They said someone would need to be present while I searched for the ring, I said, “sounds good to me!” So from SC it was about a 3 hour drive!

I arrived at the park, then couple arrived and I called the Director to advise him we were there and I was about to get started. I covered the first area and didn’t find it. The park director showed up and sat at the picnic table where the 2nd possible location was. 1 pulltab and 1 twist top later I get another signal and it’s her ring!

Lost car key/fob…found with a metal detector…Maitland, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



If you have lost something important to you…like a ring or keys or phone…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about my recovery service and am available day or night! Call or text me ASAP!

Rob and his beautiful lady friend were coming in late and as she pulled the apartment key from her purse the car fob popped out as well and they heard it bounce off of the concrete sidewalk and then nothing. They figured it fell into the short wispy bushes and they searched with the lights on their cell phones but could not locate the hidden fob. The next morning they searched again and still no fob. They went online and found theringfinders.com website and gave me a call. Two hours later I met them at their apartment and Rob was positive about the location where the fob dropped so it was a matter of scanning the bushes with my ATMax metal detector and a double check with my Garrett AT Pro pin pointer and BINGO!

They were so happy to have their car fob again and I was happy to be a help and blessing to them.

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Mike McInroe…thankful to be a member of theringfinders.com
