Kevin contacted me about 12:00 midnight after having lost his wedding ring earlier in the day. When he told me where he lost it, I told him it would be best to go right away, because this area is detected like clockwork by other treasure hunters. He agreed, and we both rushed to the area.
We were there by about 12:30 AM. He got there just before me, and sent a text telling me that another detector was searching the area, and he would try to keep him from the spot. As I walked down I saw the other guy moving into the area where Kevin was standing, so I went right over. I let the other guy know why I was there, and he didn’t seem too happy as he kept searching the same area. We got to where we actually bumped coils a couple of times, but I kept to my search plan after Kevin showed me where to look. A couple more swings of the coil, a dip of the scoop, and I had Kevin’s ring which I promptly handed back to him, and then we both left the spot to the other guy. I know Kevin appreciated the fact that I was not afraid to stand my ground when it came to helping him, and I was glad to do it. He told me he had searched so hard earlier crawling on his hands and knees, that his knees had become raw, and was so surprised at how quickly the recovery was made. We made it by the skin of our teeth with just minutes to spare, and I was so happy to have made Kevin’s day.

What would 4 young men do after their Stockton State College track meet, that’s right, go to the beach to have some fun and cool down in the pristine Jersey Shore Ocean waters. Just prior to going into the water, Brendan removed his cherished cross and chain, and clasped it around the loop on his hat for safe keeping. After they got out of the water, it was placed back around his neck, and just a few moments later, his friend noticed the cross was missing. Luckily his friend Jackson had told his mom Brenda, who was very familiar with NJ Ring Finder stories, from some of the local pages. Brendan, Jackson, and Luke had searched for quite a while without any luck, and that’s when the call came in to me for HELP. I arrived on the Lavallette beach just a short while later, got all the details and searched the entire spot without any luck. After they assured me it must be right there, I turned my metal detectors sensitivity almost as high as it would go, and on the first pass I received a very faint but steady signal, which was in fact, Brendan’s beautiful cross. Another happy ending to a fantastic beach day.
Caden Gonzalez’s platinum wedding band was lost in Destin while swimming, but with determination and a little luck, it was recovered within 20 minutes! A one-year anniversary miracle! Lost Rings of Destin, FL and ringfinders do it again!!

Today’s recovery took me to Felenon falls/Bobcaygeon area. Received a text from Johnny about loosing his newly custom made diamond 18 K gold wedding band last weekend. Johnny had some diamonds from his late grandmother crafted into his new wedding band. He and his bride of only one month, were at a family cottage and went for a swim in the late evening and noticed that his wedding ring was missing at around 2AM. Retracing his steps and looking at selfies from the evening, he was pretty sure that the ring would be either under the dock, where they sat and watched a meteor shower for a while or in the water where he dove in a couple times. Desperate, he even had purchased a metal detector and detected around the property to see if the ring had fallen off during the evening. After meeting up at the cottage and getting oriented, I put on my Scuba gear and grabbed my underwater metal detector. Water being just over 12 feet deep, and after only about 15 minutes search, I was able to locate his ring in about one foot of silt. His reaction was priceless and heartfelt as I surprised him with his ring once I surfaced at the dock. Another great recovery. Life is good!

Received a
phone call from Ola at 6 PM that her husband lost his wedding ring on the beach sand at Oval Beach. By 7:30PM I had the ring in my scoop. She had left the beach to return home to Chicago and could not meet me there. Only info she gave me was they were sitting on the beach near the number 8 buoy. Arrived at the beach and started to grid the area in front of the 8 buoy. On my third pass I found the ring. Pictures show the detector and my scoop at the spot where the ring was found. She gave me her address and the ring will be in the mail for her. She did have good info, the picture of the buoy out in the water is number 8.

Sabrina contacted me about 11:00 PM about a ring she lost earlier in the day. She told me it was a very sentimental ring to her, and was wondering if I could help. I don’t think she was expecting my response, but I told her that I would do the search right away, to insure the best possible outcome for a recovery. She had to think about it, and then agreed to meet me at the beach to show me where to look.
I arrived about 40 minutes after our communication, and waited for Sabrina who came shortly after with her fiance. As we went out I showed her the sand where the daily beach cleaners scour the sand early in the morning removing everything but the smallest items. We walked over to the area of the loss, and she showed me where she had been, so I began my search. The area was not large, but she told me that she had searched it hard with tears rolling down her face. I found a penny, and had a few other signals that turned out to be too deep, and then as I moved out a bit, I got a good signal, dug and had her ring. She was surprised that it had been found so quickly, not even knowing it would ever be found. I was so glad to be able to help Sabrina get something back that means so much to her.

Liza was playing in the water at a local association beach when she lost a very special ring. She had moved the ring to a finger where it was not normally worn, and it unfortunately was a loose fit. When she spun around in the water, the ring went flying into the waves. The family did an internet search, found the Ring Finders, and called me within a couple hours of the loss. I collected my gear and met them at the beach about a half hour later.
Liza’s ring was silver and truly unique in design. It was specially made with an imprint of her dog’s nose (yes, really!) on the raised table of the ring. This was sure a new one to me, and it obviously was very special to her. I headed into the water for a search of the area where Liza said she lost the ring, but I soon found myself chin-deep and on my tiptoes. The tide had risen a couple feet and this obviously was not going to work. I said I’d come back at low tide 2 days hence, as I had to be out of town the following day.
When I returned on the second day I set up a couple floats and commenced a search pattern of the likely area. Waves hindered the search but I covered the area in about 2 hours with no result. I expanded the search and shortly found the ring about 10 feet outside my initial search perimeter. I made a call and arranged to return the ring to Liza’s grandfather the next day (Liza had returned to home in western Massachusetts). The ring has now found its way home and there are a lot of happy people (not to mention the dog) all around!


I received a phone call at approximately 1:20pm, on Thursday August 7th. The woman calling told me a Wedding Ring had been lost at Ocean Park, Maine, approximately 15 minutes earlier. After asking a few questions, that she was relaying to someone else, she put Tom on the phone. Tom had been tossing a football with a friend, about 40 minutes prior to the 2:00pm high tide. Tom told me he was in the water and when they stopped tossing the football around, Tom noticed he was no longer wearing his Black Tungsten Wedding Ring.
Since the tide was still incoming, I agreed to meet him, in Ocean Park, at 4:00pm. This would be a full two hours, after high tide and hopefully the tide would be out far enough to search for Tom’s wedding ring.
Then at 2:03pm, I received another call. Someone has lost a Gold Signet Ring, 10 minutes earlier, in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I told her, that I could come search for the signet ring, once I finished my search in Ocean Park Beach. Thankfully, the Ocean Park location and the Old Orchard Beach, Maine location were only 2 miles apart. I then texted Tom and asked him if I brought a backup metal detector, would he be willing to help search for his ring. This would speed up the whole process and with two searches lined up, Tom enthusiastically agreed.
Cheryl and I met Tom at 4:00pm and was surprised to find the tide was still very high. I set up both detectors and showed Tom the basics and even brought a Tungsten test ring, to show Tom the readings, on the detector and the sound.
Tom and I searched the slope of the beach but the waves were still very very rough and strong. After searching , for a hour, it looked like we wouldn’t be able to get to the bottom of the slope, for another hour or so, as the waves rushed up the slope, I asked Tom if he wouldn’t mind if I drove down to the next search, a few miles away. This would allow the Ocean Park tide to recede further out and hopefully, when I returned to Ocean Park, we could continue to search, further Dow the slope and onto the flat area of the beach. I also told Tom that he looked trustworthy and that I would trust him with my backup detector, so he could continue to search for his ring, as the tide slowly receded.
Cheryl and I then left for search #2. We arrived at the Old Orchard Beach location at approximately 5:25pm and Lissa met us. We parked the car and all walked down to the location of where Kaitlin, Lissa’s daughter had lost her Gold Signet Ring, in the water. The rest of this search, will be in my next story.
Cheryl and I got back in the car and headed back to Ocean Park. I saw a text come in from Tom and it said
“Found it! If you let me know where you are I can bring you your equipment”.
I replied, “That’s awesome. On my way”.
Cheryl and I arrived a few minutes later and met Tom. Tom told us that he did find the ring, on the bottom section of the slope and not the flat section. He also estimated the ring had already sunk, close to 9 inches, in the very soft, soupy sand. WOW! What a great recovery. Congratulations Tom!
Our goal at The Ring Finders is to get the clients lost item, back to the client. If that means bringing an extra detector or two, so be it. I find that when the client gets involved, they really enjoy the experience and when they end up finding their own ring, they are simply ecstatic. I am also ecstatic to be able to add to my book of smiles.




EMERALD ISLE, NORTH CAROLINA,
Amanda was attending a get together of about 30 friends and family one evening at a Emerald Isle beach access. Her initial message stated she placed her rings on her necklace to wash her hands off in the surf. She also went the the bath house and wasn’t sure where it actually was lost. I woke up early the next morning to her text message and knew I needed to get out there quickly. I sent her a message that I was going to search as soon as possible. She told me later, she didn’t sleep all night. I started a grid search of the area her and her friends were the night before with no luck. After her arrival, I expanded the area still not finding anything of value. Amanda went back to the steps to sit with her mother-in-law (out of sight of me). I began another grid to the water and back up the sloped soft sand and received a very loud target hit signal. One scoop had her ring above the surface. I sent her a picture of it and she replied “COMING!!!”. After a brief discussion, I told her I would now try to find her necklace. She was walking away from me when I had another target about five feet lower. I called her back and one more scoop showed her necklace in the mound of wet sand.
