Sauble Beach Ring Recovery Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We received a text message from a client who had lost his wedding ring on Friday. It was now Sunday, and he reached out hoping there was still a chance to recover it. He was not able to meet us at the beach because he lived quite far from the area, and to be honest, it seemed like he was not fully convinced the ring could be found after two days had passed.

He sent us a couple of photos showing where they had been sitting on the beach and gave a description of the area where they had been swimming. With daylight fading fast, we headed straight to the location. It was getting dark, and we knew we did not have much time to work before the light was completely gone.

After a short time we got a strong signal. We dug it up and discovered a ring, but there was one problem. It did not match the description he had given us. We kept going, working the search pattern carefully and hoping we had not missed anything.

Just before we ran out of light, the detector hit again. This time when we looked down, we knew instantly it was the right one. We called him right away, and he could hardly believe that we had actually found it after all that time.

Another recovery and another very happy client.

Diamond Ring Lost in Snow in Rock Island…Found

  • from Bettendorf (Iowa, United States)
Contact:

During a snowfall last night as a nice gesture for her fiancé, Danielle was clearing snow from the windows of her fiancé’s car.  During the process of whisking the snow off of the vehicle, Danielle felt her new engagement ring slip from her finger and disappear into the freshly fallen snow.  She searched for the ring with her fiancé since the snowfall would continue through the night, but unfortunately they had no luck finding her ring.

After clearing the snow from my own driveway this morning, I received a call to search for Danielle’s lost ring.  The search area had not yet been cleared, the ring was on private property, and the search area was minimally disrupted, which were ideal conditions for the search.  I arrived early in the afternoon and I was able to locate Danielle’s ring in a clump of snow in the area where Danielle was certain the ring had slipped off her finger.  I reunited the ring with Danielle, and she was very grateful.  Merry Christmas, Danielle.  I wish you and your fiancé all the best.

Port Elgin Gold Ring Recovery Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We left early in the morning, heading toward Port Elgin after receiving a call from a very kind gentleman. He asked if we would be willing to make the drive to help recover his wedding ring. You could hear the stress in his voice because he was devastated that it had slipped off while he was swimming a few days earlier.

He explained that he had been out deeper than he probably should have been when he felt the ring slide from his finger. He tried desperately to search for it, but the water was rough, the waves were picking up, and he eventually became worried about how tired he was getting. He had no choice but to head back in, fearing the ring was gone forever.

A couple of days later, after searching online for help, he found Ring Finders and reached out to us with hope still lingering.

When we arrived at the beach, we asked him to join us in the water since the spot was quite far out. We walked together through the waves until he pointed out the general area where it had happened. Once he headed back to shore, we set up our grid and began the search.

The depth, the current, and the distance made it a challenge, but after a short time, the unmistakable signal came through. When we pulled the ring from the lake bottom, shining despite the sand and water, we knew we had another successful recovery.

Seeing the relief and joy on his face made the long drive and early start worth every moment. Another memory returned and another story to remember.

Gold Necklace Found Port Elgin Lake Huron

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We had left early in the morning for a ring recovery in Port Elgin. It was a four-hour drive before we finally reached the beach, geared up, and headed straight into the water. The search took some time, but we were successful in locating the ring—another happy ending, just like in the other story.

As we were climbing out of the water afterward, tired but feeling good about the recovery, we were approached by another couple who had been at the beach a few days earlier. The gentleman explained that he had lost his gold necklace during their visit. It had slipped off somewhere out in the water, and after days of looking on their own they had almost given up hope.

Even though we had already been in the water for hours, we went back out and set up a proper grid search. The conditions weren’t easy, and the necklace could have been anywhere, but we kept working the pattern one careful sweep at a time. Nearly an hour passed before the signal finally came through. When we pulled the necklace up from the sand and held it out, the look on their faces said everything. There was so much relief and excitement that it instantly made the long day and all the effort worth it.

Another recovery, another memory, and another reminder that these items mean far more than the metal they’re made of.

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring near Coeur d’Alene Idaho….Found!!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

There was a quick and heavy snow fall that gripped the Coeur d’Alene region, last Tuesday. The roads were impacted; the houses were blanketed and the cars that were left out had been fully covered. This was bad news for Brad. The family had to leave the house soon. Before starting his truck, the driver’s side door had to be cleared. The top of the door always dumps snow into the cab if it’s not removed. After getting the snow off the car he had to clean his hands. With a quick flick the snow shot off his hands. But with the snows icy grip, it stole his ring from his finger. The quick theft that happened on his ring finger sent a cooled chill into his hand. Brad’s brain knew right away that the slippery hand of snow had struck, and his ring was gone. The search began for Brad’s ring instantly. The snow was deep, and it was dark out. So, Brad knew he had to get a metal detector. He was able to rent one and after only finding iron, he returned the detector.  While at the rental shop the clerk told Brad about “A Group” that uses metal detectors. That group, Brad found out, was called The Ring Finders.  So, Brad’s wife Alissa called me and made arrangements for me to come out the next day. After greetings and handshakes, I walked over to the side yard and spoke to Brad about the action that he did to lose his ring. He showed me the flicking motion he did with his hand and where the ring could have landed. I started searching and right away I got a signal and bent down and found a piece of wire. Then moved on down the side of the grass. As I came back, I got the same signal right where I found the wire. So, I pinpointed and dug through the grass until the ring popped out. The ring had buried itself so deep in the grass, that it wasn’t visible by eye and the wire hid it from the metal detector.  I was able to get that sneaky ring back to Brad very quickly.  Thank you, Brad and Alissa, for trusting The Ring Finders. Merry Christmas.

So Many Car Keys Found In Vermont

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

12/7/25

Just had another car key find at a new local dog park and recreation area, the former Elks Club Golf Coarse in Montpelier. It took 4 sessions to find it, pretty darn large area! So far, 4 for 4 on keys there. Unfortunately, the fellow had recently ordered a replacement key from the local Toyota dealership for $500, which they required up front payment. I’m hoping they will be decent to him and give a refund, because the key hasn’t been programmed for his Rav 4 yet.

I also built a Lost and Found box out of scrap building materials and brought it over there. People are frequently losing things in places like that!

There have been so many other car key searches lately, all around the region. These successful searches have saved the family many thousands of dollars, in total.
Feels great to be able to help them out!

Lost Pendant Found Bay Beach – Fort Erie Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

We were at Bay Beach finishing up a few recovery services when a group of young men approached us. They looked worried, and one of them stepped forward to explain what had happened. While they had been wrestling around in the shallow water, his necklace had suddenly snapped and disappeared beneath the waves. This wasn’t just any necklace. It had belonged to his late father, and the pendant was something he carried with him every day as a reminder of him. Losing it hit him hard, and you could see the panic in his eyes as he talked.

He pointed out the stretch of water where it happened. Even though it was shallow, the waves constantly shifted the sand, making it easy for something small and precious to vanish instantly. We grabbed our gear and stepped into the water, determined to help.

The search began slowly and carefully. The detector hummed as we swept back and forth, inching along the bottom. The young men stood watching from the shoreline, their excitement replaced with quiet worry. It was clear how much this necklace meant to their friend. Every time the detector signaled, everyone leaned forward, hoping it would be the right one. Most of the signals turned out to be bottle caps, small bits of metal and lake debris.

After several minutes of searching, the detector gave a sharp, solid tone. We fanned the sand and the pendant was right in front of us.. The moment we held it up, the mood changed instantly.

The young man’s face lit up with pure relief. He rushed over, thanking us again and again. His friends cheered, clapping him on the back and laughing with that kind of happiness that only comes from getting something truly important back. It felt like the whole beach shared the moment for a second.

Seeing how much that necklace meant to him made the recovery feel incredibly rewarding. Bay Beach gave us another unforgettable memory that day, and we left knowing we had helped return not just an item, but a piece of someone’s heart.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Lake Erie – Crystal Beach Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It was a beautiful afternoon at Crystal Beach when a very worried woman approached us. She explained that her ring had slipped off somewhere in the water while she was swimming. This was not just any ring. It was a gift from her husband who was back home in India, and losing it left her completely heartbroken. She could barely speak without tearing up as she pointed out the general area where she thought it might have fallen.

We headed into the water right away. The waves were gentle, but the shifting sand underneath made the search challenging. We began a slow, careful grid pattern with the detector, moving inch by inch through waist deep water. Every signal mattered, and each time the detector buzzed, we hoped it would be the ring. Instead, we pulled up bottle caps, bits of metal and other small scraps buried beneath the sand. The woman stood anxiously on the shoreline, watching every move and hoping for a miracle.

After nearly an hour of searching, the detector gave a clean, solid tone, the kind that instantly makes you stop and focus. We scooped beneath the sand and lifted the scoop out of the water. As the water drained away, something small and bright glimmered in the sunlight. It was the ring.

When we held it up, the woman gasped and covered her face with both hands. Then she ran into the water, laughing and crying at the same time. Everyone nearby started cheering and smiling. The relief on her face was unforgettable. She kept saying how grateful she was and how much the ring meant to her, especially with her husband being so far away.

It was one of those moments that reminds you why helping people recover their lost items is so special. A tiny piece of jewelry, found beneath the shifting sand and waves, brought so much joy back to someone’s day. Crystal Beach will always feel a little more magical because of that search.

Lost diamond ring Palm Shores Florida

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Greg a golf buddy of mine knew I was a Ring Finder. When his friend Ruthann lost her gold diamond ring while doing yard work he gave her my number.  Ruthann and Greg searched the area with no luck so decided to call in the professional.  It was an area of dense shrubs so I could not swing my detector. Using my  pin pointer  on my hands and knees I found the ring lodged between the shrub roots.  Another happy ending.
