Large Platinum Men’s Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Joseph found me in the Ring Finder directory. The week before he was having a wonderful time  kayaking the Brandywine River in West Chester, PA when tragedy struck! He pulled to the side to assist his wife with her canoe and while doing so he heard something bang and bounce off his kayak. About 60 seconds later and 5 yards down river he suddenly realized his large platinum wedding band was missing. It was obvious that the sound he heard was his ring bouncing off the kayak and into the river. He sent his family ahead to continue down river and stayed back and searched for his ring in the 1-2 feet deep water but had no luck. He and his wife returned several times during the week with handheld pinpointer metal detectors to try to locate the lost ring. At some point Joseph’s wife suggested hiring a professional and they got in touch with me. I met Joseph on a Saturday morning (exactly 1 week after the ring was lost) and we marched upstream 10-15 minutes to the site where Joseph was positive the ring dropped. He re-enacted what occurred and gave me some accurate and detailed parameters of where he was standing when the ring fell off. I was using my Minelab Manticore metal detector with a large search coil. A large platinum wedding band has a unique booming signature on my machine…and i knew exactly what signal I was listening and hoping for. Well…its didn’t take long…10 minutes into search…BOOM…there was the signal I was hoping for. I yelled to Joseph and pointed down…I told him I like the signal. I got out my pin pointer and searched the 1 foot deep water….my pinpointer buzzed that it was hitting metal. I moved several small rocks….THERE IT WAS! I think Joseph saw it shimmering in the water before I did! We both let out a few whoops and hollers and celebrated with high fives! EPIC! So happy to come through for Joseph and get his ring back on hos finger where it belongs!!!

 

Lost Ring in Red Butte Gardens: Found and Returned

When Sarah was married eleven years ago, she and her husband had a local jeweler design and create matching white gold wedding bands. Recently, while Sarah was teaching an outdoor yoga class to cancer patients at Red Butte Gardens, she lost her ring. After searching everywhere, retracing her steps, and looking anywhere the ring could possibly be, she called me. I was able to bring my metal detectors to Red Butte Gardens that same day, and after searching for only about five minutes, we found her ring!

Half of Pendants Lost in the Ocean Have Been Found Along North Carolina Shores

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

 

Emerald Isle, NC – Heather was swimming with her mother in chest deep water when she wanted to swipe some seaweed from her swim top.  Unfortunately, it was her gold necklace with 2 golden pendants attached that she snagged.  The chain broke and the charms disappeared.  Her mother posted on social media about the missing charms including a picture of a gold horn and gold cross.

After searching the area, I managed to dig up the golden horn and unfortunately after 4 attempts, have not found the golden cross.  Heather was thankful for getting the horn returned and hopefully we will meet one more time for her to retrieve her gold cross!

Lost platinum wedding ring, FOUND!

Wildwood Crest, New Jersey By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Ed the other night. Ed explained that he was on the beach in Wildwood Crest NJ enjoying some time with family and in the surf with his son tossing a football. At some point during his visit, Ed’s platinum wedding band slipped off his finger unbeknownst to him. Ed wasn’t entirely sure “when” he lost his ring but he was fairly certain that it was somewhere on the beach or in the surf. First thing, the next morning, I rode over to Lotus Ave and met Ed on the beach. Ed showed me the specific areas he was at the day before and pointed out the approximate area he was at in the surf. The tide was already about an hour and a half incoming so I checked where he had been sitting and all of the remaining wet and shallow surf. I knew chances would be much better if I searched at dead low tide so I planned on returning later in the afternoon when the tide was low. I rode back over in the afternoon, about an hour before low tide, and began searching the shallow water. After about 60 minutes of searching I managed to pull a butterfly ring and a few other coins and trash targets. About ten minutes later I swung my coil over a clean, distinct signal. After two scoops, Ed’s ring appeared from the water in my scoop! I texted Ed the good news and he immediately came back down to the beach to retrieve his ring, in total amazement! Another happy ending, another satisfied client!

Ed’s review: “Jeff found my wedding band a day after I lost it in the ocean off of Lotus Beach in the Crest. Amazing that he was able to find it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Platinum Engagement Ring Lost In The Ocean Water, Found With A Metal Detector In Kennebunkport, Maine

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

😱 LOST IN THE OCEAN, FOUND IN 10 SECONDS! ⏱️💍
How we recovered a priceless platinum engagement ring at Mother’s Beach…

Late Friday afternoon on July 3rd, I received an urgent phone call from Susan.

Earlier that day, her daughter Lucy was in the water at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine, throwing a football around with a group of 15–20 family and friends.

As Lucy went to catch the ball, it hit her hand—sending her platinum engagement ring flying straight into the ocean. 🌊💔

The ring instantly disappeared into the waves and sand. 🌊💍

A massive search by the group turned up absolutely nothing, and everyone was feeling completely helpless.

Thankfully, a kind woman on the beach saw them searching and told them about The Ring Finders of Maine . 🔍

As soon as Susan called, Cheryl and I loaded up our gear in record time and took off, towards Kennebunk, via Kennebunkport Maine 🏎️💨

Despite holiday traffic, we arrived in 35 minutes.

Lucy met us and took us right to the spot.

The family knew the exact area, so we quickly set up our grid boundaries.
I started at the southern end of the beach, right where Lucy had been standing when it happened.

Everyone was anxiously watching. Susan walked out to follow right beside me.

I could see the pure worry on her face, and I prayed I could turn that worry into a smile. 🥺

I took my first few steps. About 8 feet into my grid search , my metal detector hit a massive, loud, low tone! 🚨

The Target Identification (TID) was locking in at 17–19 and was incredibly repeatable.

I looked at Susan and told her it was a very, very good target—and only zero to two inches deep.

Could I have actually found this lost platinum ring in under 10 seconds of searching?! ⏱️👀

I took off my headphones and let Susan listen to the signal. I told the group I couldn’t guarantee it, but I was highly confident.

I invited everyone to crowd around and watch the dig.

🥄 Scoop #1: Just sand.

🥄 Scoop #2: As I lifted the wet sand out of the hole, people started SCREAMING! 🎉😭

Right there, sitting perfectly in the sand inside my scoop, was the platinum engagement ring!💍

Cheers, tears, clapping, and massive hugs broke out instantly!

The anxious energy on the beach transformed into a full-on celebration. ✨

As Susan and Lucy hugged, Susan pointed to the scoop and told Lucy to go get her ring.💍

The moment Lucy picked it up, her dad, Alex, stepped in for a massive “Dad Hug.” 🥰

The happy tears were really flowing now! 🥹
❤️

Even strangers passing by on the beach couldn’t help but stop and smile. 😊

Cheryl and I were absolutely beaming, knowing we could bring this family such massive relief.

What started as a holiday disaster turned into a moment of pure triumph—a celebration this family will never forget. 🌟

This is exactly why we do what we do.

There is no better feeling in the world than replacing sheer panic with pure joy.🤩

As we packed up to leave the family to their celebration, I looked at Cheryl and couldn’t help but think:

We really do have the best job in the world. 🕵️‍♂️❤️🕵️‍♀️

Remember: “If it matters to you, it matters to us.” 👋💍

✨ A final wish for Lucy: May your upcoming wedding be the beautiful beginning of a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and a bond that shines even brighter than the platinum on your finger! 🥂🍾

I got a call from Nick who told me he had lost a ring in a neighborhood park, and was not able to find it. This was a ring he had received from his mother, so although being copper the value wasn’t high in monetary worth, the worth in sentimentality was very high.  We worked out a time for me to come out and do a search, and was on my way to help.

When I arrived Nick met me at the gate of the park, and told me this was where the loss occurred. He told me that he had been kind of goofing around, and decided to just make a small toss of the ring onto a small hillside. It wasn’t overgrown, or had a lot of leaves and such, but the ring just disappeared. I searched all around, and when I got to a place where the dirt was a little softer, I found his ring buried there. He was happy to have it back, and I was happy to make his day. I did make a plea to him though, that was please don’t throw your ring around any more, and he assured me he wouldn’t.

Bradley lost an anchor cross that had been given to him by his grandmother, in the sand at the beach. This was very sentimental to him, and I let him know I was available to come immediately to do a search.

When I arrived Bradley explained to me what he believed happened to cause the loss, and showed me the area. I began the search, and worked in a tight grid, finding a few pieces of trash metal. Then on one pass, I got a very strong signal, dug, and had this beautiful piece of jewelry in my scoop. I held it up for him wherein he became very emotional because of how much it meant to him. I was happy to make his day. It is very satisfying seeing people go from sad to happy in an instant.

Damian contacted me about a ring he had lost 3 days prior. I let him know that I would do the search, but that with the passage of time the recovery opportunity diminishes. He agreed to do the search, but would not be able to meet me there. He gave concise directions to the area he believed the loss to have occurred, a very well traveled area, and I was on my way.

When I arrived, and looked the area over, the sand was untouched for most of the area he had given me. But I could tell that the county had groomed part of the area I would be searching with their machines. I began furthest from the groomed area, and made a tight grid working my way out. Finding mostly tin foil, bottle caps and some coins, the haul was normal. I was getting close to the machine cleaned area, when on the edge, received a good signal, dug, and had a ring. I took a picture of it, and sent it in a text to Damian to see if I found his ring. He assured me this was the one. I wanted to get it back to him as soon as possible, so He gave me his home address where his wife was there to receive it. Like I tell people, there is always hope. You just never know.

Lindsey called after having lost her two gold rings in the sand at the beach. She knew the area, and it happened earlier in the day, so I knew there was a good chance of making a recovery. I let her know I would get there as soon as I could to increase the possibility of a successful search.

When I got to the beach, it was already dark, but I assured Lindsey that if she could get me close to the area of the loss I should be able to find them. She walked me over to the area she had been in, and within 10 minutes, I was able to hand her back the rings that had a very high significance in her life. This was a great search.

Gold Tooth Grill Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This search started just after 1 pm, on July 10, 2026, when I received a text message saying, “Hello, is this Jim Wren.” I responded, “Yes.”  Then I get, “Hi, I was recommended to you off the internet and I was wondering if I could use your help? I have a custom gold tooth set I dropped in the sand, I recovered two of them, but I can’t find the last one. It was 3 pieces all together.” I called her and got additional details, including the address and was on my way.

When I arrived at the address she gave me, I wasn’t close to the beach, so I called her and asked for the resort name, which she provided. I ended up at the resort and had to explain what I was there for to the security guard at the front gate. He seemed reluctant but let me through to park. My second obstacle was the gate guard at the resort’s swimming pool. I made my way through the swimming area and out on the boardwalk looking out at the huge crowd on the beach. I called the young lady, Trejour and told her where I was standing. She ended up being down the beach and she called when she saw me. She showed me the very small area, and I asked for one of the other grill teeth so I could test it. It rang up as a 2-3 on the Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I made a couple of swings and hit a solid 4 on the VDI. I was able to use my pin pointer to hit the target, but I still had to sift the sand through my fingers to find the missing grill. She was extremely happy when I handed it back to her.

Trejour – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure.

Jim
