Mother’s Ring Lost in the Dry Sand While Throwing a Football, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

I received a message from Tina on Nov 30th, around 9:40 pm inquiring about help finding a lost ring. She text and also included a post she had made on a Myrtle Beach Lost and Found FB group. The text read “I am at Dunes Village till Sunday. I lost my mother’s ring 6 diamond in birthstone colors, had names also. I would love to find it. I was throwing a football in front of Dunes Village around 5 pm today. If you can help, I’m here until Sunday at 11am.” The post she made had a little more information and details, it read in part, “It was my Christmas present I had just gotten like two weeks ago from my boyfriend. It has 6 names also engraved in it.” I text her back and told her I could be there at about 10 in the morning and ask if she could meet me to show me the area. She agreed on the time and meeting up.

This morning, we met as planned and Tina showed me the area. The area consisted of dry sand, so I knew anything with any weight to it would quickly disappear in the sand. She had taken a good visual of where she was the day before. She lined me up straight out from a blue awning on the side of the resort and I turned on my Nox 800. I started south of the awning doing an east/west grid working my way north. Tina said her ring was silver, so I knew I was looking for a VDI (visual display indicator) number in the low to mid 20 range. I got a hit with a VDI of 24, which turned out to be a dime. The next signal I got was 22 bouncing back and forth to 23. The Nox was also showing that it was a shallow target. I was pretty sure I had Tina’s ring. I dug some sand out, checked the hole and had the target in the scoop. I gently shook out the scoop and saw the beautiful ring lying at the bottom of the scoop. I blew the sand off the ring, turned to Tina holding the ring up and said, “got it!” She stood there in disbelief and asked, “is it my ring?” I think she had come to believe the ring was gone forever. I love the looks I get when I hand somebody back their lost item.

Tina – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your lost treasure and get it back where it belongs. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home.

Lost wedding rings in the sand at Flagler Beach, Florida…found with a metal detector by Florida ring finder Mike McInroe!

Do you need a lost item recovery specialist to help you find something on land, in the water, grass, yard, woods, in your house or vehicle or under ground?  Call or text Mike McInroe ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!  I am here to help you!

Candice and her husband, Jason, were enjoying a much needed break on Flagler Beach over the Thanksgiving holidays and late evening on Thanksgiving eve she and her husband were relaxing on the dry sand when the unthinkable happened…she felt her diamond engagement ring and wedding ring come off of her finger and watched them disappear into the soft beach sand.  They searched desperately for hours and they simply could not find them and a heavy sadness came over Candice that crushed her heart and spirit.  (It is for this very reason that I joined theringfinders.com and that is to be able to help give hope and practical assistance to those who find themselves in these kinds of desperate situations.)

Jason called me at 12:35 am Thanksgiving morning and I could hear the pain and desperation in his voice as he briefly told me what happened.  It took me only 10 minutes to get my equipment packed up and at 2:00 am in the morning I met Jason and Candice and in the pitch dark of night we walked out onto the sandy beach.  Thankfully they had marked the area where she thought she dropped her rings and after a 5 minute grid search I got a sweet signal that I figured had to be her lost rings.  I made a circle in the sand around the signal and gave Candice my Garrett Pro Pointer and told her to find and retrieve her own rings…and what an absolute thrill and joy it was to see her melt and cry tears of happiness and total relief!  Jason gave me a huge bear hug and Candice just knelt there in the sand and cried.  How I thank God for allowing me to be used by Him to help this dear couple in their time of need!

How can I help you?  Call or text me anytime day or night at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Priceless religious necklace found at Santa Claus Beach Carpinteria

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

If you have lost your ring, your bracelet, your necklaceor other piece of jewelry don’t lose your mind too so call or text Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can create a plan to get your precious keepsake back.

I got a text early Monday morning from Antimm stating that he had lost his necklace while swimming at Santa Claus beach in Carpinteria. He had been out body surfing when he came in and realized that his necklace that had a gold baptismal cross and silver pendant on it. We agreed to meet at low tide that afternoon to begin the search.

I spent the better part of two hours dodging the waves and searching in the water but I was unable to locate the necklace. We checked the tides and I told Antimm I would return to the beach on Friday as the tides were a bit more favorable because he was pretty sure he had lost it out in the wash.

Friday came and when I got to the beach the tide was out but conditions had changed. There was a decent swell and while I was prepared to get wet I had no idea just how soaked I was going to get. On the Monday search there was a sand bar and you could stand pretty easy and deal with the waves. Unfortunately the sand was gone and the waves were brutal. After getting tossed around for about an hour I moved to a new location and finally got a signal worth scooping.

I was in about 3 feet of water when I scooped and checked the hole and sure enough it was in the scoop. Unfortunately a wave met me at the same time and I lost whatever I had found. As the water receded I looked down and could see a silver looking disc in the water and I frantically got my scoop positioned behind it and this time I got it.

I was ecstatic as this was as close to a miracle as you can get in metal detecting. To God be the glory!

Lost diamond ring in yard, Hastings, Florida…found with a metal detector by ring finder Mike McInroe!

Contact:

My name is Mike McInroe and I am a Lost Item Recovery Specialist!  On land, in the water, grass, yards, woods, houses, vehicles or under ground…please call ASAP anytime at 321-363-6029!

Makayla called me to ask if I could help her find a very special ring that was lost in a small animal pen behind her house.  Before attempting any search I always ask some very specific questions to help me determine the likelihood of actually finding the lost or misplaced item.  Thankfully Makayla assured me that her friend actually felt the ring come off and it was in a very small area and they had not disturbed the area for fear of burying it further in the straw.  Apparently while spreading the straw out, her friend actually felt her ring slip off of her finger and it immediately disappeared…especially since the ring was a gold ring and almost the very same color as the straw.  They began looking through the 12 inch thick straw and after a while they gave up and decided they needed a metal detector and that led them to the internet and theringfinders web site.

It only took a few minutes to locate the lost diamond ring in the straw and the young couple was thrilled to have their precious ring back again.

Have you lost something and need a ring finders help?  Call or text me ASAP…don’t wait!  Call 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Birmingham Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Un-Gloved….

…It started out a busy day for Mrs. Teena, for she had lots of places to go and a ton of tasks to complete around the house and yard. It was now evening and while enjoying dinner she noticed her ring was missing. Mentally going over where she may have lost the ring, she concluded that the characters involved in the disappearance was classy car, brownie leaf bag and friends, bladed grass, steely sewer drain or lefty grip glove and his right-hand man. Approaching classy car it said “It wasn’t me! I carry around a lot of weight but none of it is gold so go check brownie leaf bags!”, and on doing so, no metal was detected with my MXT detector. Brownie bags got offended and said, “Why didn’t you check the bladed grass before me?”. Bladed grass was so thin we could see that the ring was not there but mentioned that steely sewer can see everything from below and noticed Mrs. Teena taking lefty grip glove and right-hand man on and off while filling up brownie leaf bags! But prior to my arrival Mrs. Teena checked both gloves and found nothing. I asked where grippy gloves were hiding and she said they were concealed out of sight by the house. I said that’s the clue we were waiting for! Lifting up the gloves I proceeded to scan them with my detector and got a metal signal and reading that indicated GOLD! Mrs. Teena and husband were awe struck and said again that she checked the gloves. So, reaching into the finger slot I was able to wiggle out Mrs. Teena’s very thin gold ring that lefty grip glove was hiding! Both she and husband were thrilled that this winning move to recover the ring fit like a glove!

Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Sterling Heights Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Mulch Ado About Nothing……

…As David was hurrying to finish his outside tasks for the year his ring disappeared and with way too mulch on his agenda didn’t realize it until later that night. After looking without mulch luck, he called me to come by to metal detect. Fretting over the phone about not knowing where it was, I told his wife out in the yard that it wouldn’t be too mulch trouble to find it. Scanning the grounds I got no junk signals but nearing the end of the mulch beds I got a great signal and reading on the detector’s meter where tungsten rings usually appear. Probing down a bit with the pin pointer I got a metal target. Reaching down revealed David’s tungsten ring! I walked around to the front door and presented the ring to David’s wife and with mulch enthusiasm on the phone David said mulch obliged!

Lost Wedding Ring – Found by metal detector specialist in Connellsville, PA

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

I am a ring recovery 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 received a call from Andy who stated that his wife’s wedding ring had been lost in the area of his driveway. We talked for a bit and exchanged a few texts and I arranged to go out the next morning.

Andy met me at his home and stated that he thought the ring was in or around a bush next to the driveway. He thought he saw the ring fall into that area but he and a neighbor who had a metal detector were unable to find it. I immediately went to work feeling pretty confident that the ring would be somewhere close but probably not in the bush if the neighbor did not find it. I soon figured out why the other person had a tough time as the ground was super loud with all sorts of sounds. I checked around the bush and then expanded my search but came up empty. I then commandeered a trash can and started to clean up the leaves along the side of the driveway but again…nothing. I then went back into the area of the bush and with my detector and pin pointer and started to pull out some small nails and a few other targets. I kept getting a hit at the base of the bush and but I could not locate the source. I kept going removing lot of leaves and some mulch…the target was there but ever elusive. All of a sudden – I found the ring!! It was located at the base of the bush which was coiled around like a spring and had gotten covered up, maybe from the previous searches.

I called Andy who came back to retrieve the ring. I told him it was in the bush where he thought but it was really tough find. Andy was very thankful and immediately took the ring inside for when his wife arrived home. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client like Andy and return his wife’s wedding ring.

Eric called a few local marine divers and was kindly pointed to my services. He had just returned to Seattle after a commercial fishing run in Alaska. After processing through the Ballard Locks and being guided by a tug boat through Salmon Bay it was time to tie off at their shipyard seawall dock.

Eric, up in the bow and had just thrown the port side mooring line through the hawse pipe from the bow chock. He told me as the mooring line was paying out at a good pace he put his hand down to slow it and it pulled his wedding ring straight of his finger. He watched his chunky gold diamond wedding ring fly through the hawse pipe and landing with a splash in the water below. A quick curse word with nothing much more to do his focus was back on completing the priority docking process at hand. It was confirmed when his ring dropped into the water there was zero propulsion from his vessel. They were being pushed by a tug boat from the aft stern. He also reported the vessel was at rest and not moving. This was very encouraging information for the recovery process. He also reported they were up against the sturdy seawall dock also a solid reference point. Moments after the ring drop incident it was decided to move the vessel forward to the next dock cleat another twenty plus feet.

I shared my thoughts, encouragements and concerns with over a decade of lost item recovery and over five hundred dives having a great deal of experience diving Lake Union for lost items my biggest concern was for how much trash and junk metal I would find in the waters of a very old industrial ship yard. I sent my prayers, and best wishes and said we just have to wait and see what the conditions are like when I dive down and conduct a proper search.

Watch this story and see the exciting recovery in action.

Ring lost in Poway found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Kathy contacted me saying that after her husband had finished eating, she decided to grab the tablecloth and shake it outside to remove any salt and crumbs that were on it. What she didn’t know was that her husband had taken his wedding ring off and had left it there on the table. Out the door everything went and after a good shake, she returned inside to find out that her husband’s wedding ring was missing. They searched the dining area and path to the backyard patio and yard, but, the ring wasn’t found. When I arrived, I got the story and evaluated the search area. Small yard with grass back to a vine covered fence. Beyond the fence dropped down a slope to a canyon bottom. Hopefully it didn’t get slung down there! Not to worry, first target was right in the range for a gold ring….26-7 on the Equinox 900. It wasn’t right on top of the ground, so, it must have been stepped on sometime during their search. It took a few minutes to dig it out of the dirt and grass, but, it was “Thankfully” a success! A pleasure to meet you Kathy and thank you for the reward.

Lost Gold & Diamonds Sentimental Mother’s Day Earring at Kaluahole Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This Earring hunt began when I got a text from Carolyne saying, “I lost an earring in the Diamond Head area.  Ring if you can help.”  I asked if she had parking as this area was all condos with no street parking.  She responded “Yes” The tide is high right now…It’s probably lost forever”  I said, “No.  Low tide is 6:30”  I’ll call you before I head over.  When I arrived Carolyne directed me to the parking and escorted me to the beach entry.  Her husband Mark was going to come down and walk me out to the area down the coast a bit.  Carolyne had the other earring in a bag,  so I scanned it on the Manticore and it was a 3-4 on the VDI.   Mark took me to the search area and I told him it could take awhile so he didn’t have to stick around.  I started the hunt and there were several iron pieces along the retaining wall I had to work through.  The first possible target was a small chunk of Aluminum.  The next target was a #10 on the VDI and to my surprise it was the stunning earring.  Mark had started walking back to his condo when I yelled, “I got a gold earring with diamonds”  and he came back quickly to confirm.  He was in shock saying, “That’s it!”  I found out it was actually lost two days prior so what a blessing it didn’t end up in the coral after at least 4 pounding high tides.  The difference in the VDI had to be the earring Carolyne let me test was closed and the found earring was open.  Good point to remember.  When we got back to Carolyne she was obviously ecstatic after a successful recovery.  A few hugs & handshakes and of course the smiles.  Aloha to Carolyne & Mark!
