Cape Cod’s Power Landing Beach: Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 26, 2024

Keeping it simple, William was rinsing his hands off in knee deep water when his wedding band slipped from his finger. His family could not believe that this was his second ring lost at this one beach. The first ring had been lost some 5 years previously. As stories of a lost ring usually goes all the help in searching for the rings were to no avail. This time William’s uncle Jim took charge and called a Ring Finder.

That is where I got involved first with a phone call, then a trip to a beach I had never been too. When I arrived (the next day) I had William show me where he thought he lost the ring. He put an “X” in the sand. The “X” was about 150 feet from where Uncle Jim thought the ring was lost. Well I started by lining out a box around Williams “X”, searched the area and did not find the ring. Next I increased the area a bit along the breath of the beach. On my second pass I noticed a black rock that looked out of place and swung my detector’s coil over the area and…bingo about a foot away from the rock, there was the wedding band. William than said he remembered putting the rock that while searching under water. Two good efforts put forth, one for contacting a RingFinder and one for marking the area where the ring was lost lead to the swift recovery of the wedding band.

Now for the first ring lost 5 years ago, it will be kept on my “Did not find list” as my searching effort recovered only a few lost coins. Either the ring is too deep in the sand for my detector to “see”, someone has already found it, or it was just not in the area I searched. When all the detecting was done, it was time for pictures and smiles. There was no lack of either both from William’s group or other near-by beach goers.

On my way off the beach I was stopped and asked a few questions as to what I was looking for. During the conversation I notices one woman’s necklace was unhooked and hanging loose. When I brought it to her attention, deep concern as to the where-a-bouts overcame her cheerful smile. Discreetly she searched for the “missing” chard and found it. My detecting expertise was not required. However a jeweler’s skill will be required to fix the broken necklace. All in all it was another sunny, wonderful day on a Cape Cod beach.

Nick called after he had lost his wedding ring in the sand while filling up sand anchors for his shade at the beach. He had been digging the sand to put into the bags, and afterward realized his ring was gone. He was still at the spot, so I told him I would leave right away in insure the best possible outcome of my search.

When I arrived Nick met me and took me right to the area he believed the ring had come off. I turned my detector on, and with just a few swings of the coil, received a great signal, dug with my scoop, and had his ring. I was able to give it back to him quickly. It is so important, if possible, not to leave the area, but secure it, so no one else lays their things over it, but if you can’t I will still try. Another smile for The Ring Finders!

Gold Coin and Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned Oak Island, NC

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

This little adventure started on Thursday, Jul 25th about 9:30pm when I got a text from Megan. Her text said, “Hello we are inquiring about a lost ring, chain, and coin in Oak Island NC. What is your pricing and are you available tonight or tomorrow.” Her phone number was on the text message, so I called her. She told me, in so many words that her husband Tyler and his brother were having a brotherly love moment when things escalated a little. It continued to escalate across the top of the beach in the dry sand, down the slope and into the ocean. When they finished, both brothers had lost their gold chains. The chain belonging to the brother had a cross pendant attached and Tyler’s chain had a 10-dollar, 14 oz gold coin and his yellow gold wedding ring. Unfortunately, Megan and Tyler were leaving to go back home the next morning, and the tide wasn’t right for a search until the next afternoon. Megan arranged for her father-in-law, Jim to meet me the next afternoon.

My daughter, Lisa and her family were in town visiting and she loves to go on my ring calls with me. I’ve shown her how to use the Equinox 800 and she’s gotten pretty good at using it. When we got there, we met Jim and Nia, the brother’s younger sister. Both Jim and Nia filled in some blanks and showed Lisa and I the approximate route the boys went to get to the ocean. I had Lisa doing a grid line in the soft sand and I started working the slope down to the ocean. At some point Nia had told Lisa that she had lost one of her earrings while taking the family portrait a few days earlier. While I’m detecting, I see Lisa and Nia all excited and jumping up and down in the dry sand. Lisa had found the earring. We both continued our grid lines with no luck. A very short time later a big storm was moving our way with lightening, thunder, and heavy rain. We made it to the car just in time and waited out the storm. There was still lightning and thunder out over the ocean, but I got tired of waiting. Continuing my grid line, I finally hit a solid signal which showed up as an 18/19 on the Nox. Dug out a scoop of sand, spread it out with my foot, and Bingo! I had the 10-dollar gold coin. Lisa joined me a short time later and she continued her grid in the dry sand. I took a quick picture of the coin and sent it to Megan. About another 5-8 yards I got another 18 on the Nox. I dug a scoop and Boom; I had Tyler’s wedding ring. Sent another picture to Megan and then called her. She and Tyler were very excited. I gave both the coin and ring to Jim who was going to get it to Megan and Tyler. Lisa and I continued looking for the chains and other charm with no luck. The next day, I took a buddy, who uses the Deus II back up and we both searched for the chains and pendant and weren’t able to find them.

Megan/Tyler – Thank you for calling me to help find your lost treasures. Best wishes to you both.

Pictured below is the Obverse and Reverse of the gold coin.

Ring lost at La Jolla Shores found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Ryan was out in the surf with his children when his wedding ring came up missing. He had tied it to some strings on his suit, but, they came undone and the ring was lost. No amount of looking would find a heavy ring once it hits the sand. A suggestion from a friend prompted Ryan to do an online search which brought him to TheRingFinders and my info. Since it was lost in the surf, I planned on searching during the lowest tide possible to increase the odds of a successful recovery. That meant a search starting at 3am. Ryan wasn’t able to meet at that time, but, sent me a map and some details regarding where he thought the ring came off. After gridding an area bigger than a football field for about a couple of hours and only just one penny to show for it, I was begging to wonder whether someone had already scoured the area and found the ring. Nope, right at one of my turn around spots on my grid, I got a nice solid 21 on my Equinox 900 and after one scoop, had his ring in my scoop. The next day, my wife and I were going to be in the general area of where Ryan worked at a local fire department, so, we dropped it off to him. A pleasure to meet you Ryan, and thank you for the reward.

Outside- Water turn off valve…No Find – No Fee

Don’t rent or buy a metal detector… Hire a metal detecting specialist.

I was woken up to a phone call at 2:45 AM in regards to finding a water turn off valve. The young man’s house was starting to flood downstairs and he could not locate his outside water turn off valve, which when found would stop any water coming in from the city hook up.

Unfortunately this happens, peoples outside water turn off valve gets covered up by grass or people plant over top of it forgetting how important it is to have it where you can see it, with easy access in case of these types of emergencies.

This young man was digging all over his yard looking for it in the early morning hours, even called a plumber who said he couldn’t help him unless he found the water turn off valve and recommended he call someone with Metal Detecting experience.

All I do is locate it, then he hast to get the plumber in to do the rest, I made it to his house before 3:30 AM and found his water turn off valve. He was very happy and from what I understand he called the plumber and got everything fixed up.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Have me come out to locate your hidden water turn-off valve so you can have easy access in case something like this happens to you.

Did you know most insurance companies will not cover the water damage to you home if you have no access to your water turn off valve, it’s in the contract.

If you need help finding your water turn-off valve…Contact Chris Turner ASAP – 778-838-3463    24/7

Gold necklace and Pendant recovered on 30A

  • from Destin (Florida, United States)
Contact:

The Capone family (yes that family) were visiting Blue Mountain Beach on 30A when Joey lost his necklace and pendant in chest deep water. This was handed down from the Capone family and was very special to him. Needless to say he was devastated. Well…… then he called Lost Rings of Destin, FL through ringfinders and that all changed. I enlisted his help and gave him his own machine to assist. After almost an hour of searching we recovered it. Tears were shed and hugs were given. This was a great recovery and glad it went well for the family because I thought they might find a quiet place to bury me had I not. Hahaha! Big thanks to the Capones for hydrating me and the future care packages.

97-year-old heirloom 10kt Victorian darling baby ring recovered and returned! TRF Celina, OH

  • from Celina (Ohio, United States)
Contact:
97-year-old heirloom 10 karat Victorian darling baby ring recovered and returned! A small ring makes a big hit for the day.
Tough little ring to locate at just 3 mm wide for the band and approximately a size 1.
     Scott, Alicia, and their little family made the almost 4-hour drive back to Alicia’s hometown to visit family. While spending time with family at a local State Park, Alicia was presented with her grandmother’s 97-year-old Victorian Darling Infant Ring as a keepsake for her daughter Noelle, named after her Great-Grandmother. The 10kt. ring was placed on the baby’s finger and photos were taken. The ring was too large for Noelle’s tiny finger and fell off. Alicia and her older children hunted the grassy area where they thought the ring had fallen and weren’t able to locate the ring.
     Alicia was in my wife’s Girl Scout Troop years ago and she has seen posts on my wife’s Facebook Page about my ring returns. A distraught Alicia contacted my wife to see if I was able to come out to the park and find the ring. I grabbed my Manticore, pin pointer, and other gear and we went to the State Park to see if I could locate the ring. Alicia was able to show me the roughly 20 x 20′ area where the ring had fallen. After swinging for about 45 minutes, I was able to find the tiny little treasure and hand it back to the very relieved mother!  Very small ring to locate at just 3 mm wide for the band and approximately a size 1.
