A “FAREWELL” WAVE RESULTS IN LOST WEDDING RING THAT WAS SWIFTLY RECOVERED!!! 🌊

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)


Allison and Mitch were enjoying their yearly vacation at Emerald Isle, NC. Allison went to rinse her wedding band in the damp sand when suddenly, an unexpected wave surged up the beach, snatching the ring from her fingers. A man from a neighboring group overheard their plight and suggested the Crystal Coast Ring Finders, which he had read about. Mitch contacted me roughly 20 minutes after the loss. When I arrived, I learned that another detectorist had detected a signal in the surf but failed to retrieve it, marking the location with a shovel. Allison believed she was slightly east of the marked spot when the ring slipped away. Venturing a few times into the turbulent surf, I picked up a strong signal in the wet sand. With one scoop, I unearthed the sand, and both Allison and I saw her ring as it tumbled out of the main sand pile. The exquisite band, a perfect complement to her engagement ring, was finally back in its rightful place.

Lost Yellow Gold Hawaiian Style Ring at Aulani Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began on 11 July when I got a text from Marcus who was visiting with his girlfriend and enjoying the day at the Aulani Resort.  While in the water, he lost his Yellow Gold Hawaiian Style Ring and a Jade Pendant necklace.  After the first dive hunt failed to recover either one, Marcus and I realized the search should have been further North.  The second dive hunt I was able to find the ring however being low on air I wasn’t able to extend the search deeper and more to the South for it’s recovery.  The chain is fairly thin so I’m certainly hoping the Manticore can snag the clasp holding the Jade Pendant.  To be continued if found.  Meanwhile, Marcus has his ring he received in the mail today in Washington State.  Aloha to Marcus!

Yumi Contacted me about some jewelry she lost earlier that day. She had been at the beach, and to “be safe” she told me she took her 3 rings off, and put them in her pocket. The last thing she remembered was that they were jingling in the pocket, and to hear them made her feel better. She and her boyfriend left the beach for Downtown Los Angeles, and then had the heartbreaking realization that everything was missing. It was a little late when she called, but knowing that beach is cleaned by very efficient machines, and other metal detectorists, I told her that I would leave right away in order to have the best possibility of a recovery.

When I arrived it was dark, and I had a while before the police enforced the 10:00 PM curfew removing everyone from the beach. So I got to the area, and called Yumi to make sure I was in the right place, also asking a few more questions as to distance from the marker and such. I worked my way from the top of the slope making a tight grid, and surprisingly not finding much in the way of coins or trash metal. I continued my grid, line after line working away from the slope, until about 25 feet from the slope, and 50 feet from the marker I received a myriad of good signals. I put in the scoop, and got a ring. I was excited now. I moved the coil over again, dug, and another ring, I was pretty sure I had the spot. Scanned again, and this time an earring (Yumi hadn’t mentioned earrings), so I began to wonder. I scanned again, and another ring. I scanned again, and a second earring. That was it for that spot, so I immediately called Yumi and asked if she could identify her rings (I wanted to be sure these were hers). She did correctly ID them, and then I asked if that was it, and she said there were earrings. I told her I had found it all, and we arranged to meet the next day for the return. She was so happy because two of those rings had belonged to her late aunt, and were irreplaceable. Not only that, but she will be going back to her home in Chicago soon, and would have had to leave them here forever. I really enjoy what I do.

Lost sentimental silver pendant and necklace Recovered, Klinger Lake, White Pigeon, Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Diana contacted me to inquire if it was possible that I could search for a lost, very sentimental necklace for her, in Klinger Lake. She explained that her son and friends were playing basketball in the lake at their dock last night. One of the friend’s had been given a necklace by his father, who had passed away soon after.
We made arrangements for a search in the morning. I arrived, met with Diana and found out there was a pendant involved and that was actually the sentimental item ( a guardian angel pendant). So the necklace and pendant, somewhere in about 4-5 feet of water, somewhere within about a 50 by 50ft area.
Began the search, started finding the typical items, coins, bolts, washers, nuts, pull tabs and within aobut 10 minutes the pendant (marked 925, they were unsure of what either were made of). I got out, took a photo of the pendant and sent it to Diana.
A few of the boys had woken up now and came to see how I was doing. I let them know I found the pendant and they said the boy that lost it would be very happy I’d recovered it.
So now the necklace, which can sometimes be invisible to detectors. Not knowing what it was made of, I just started scooping every type of signal I heard. Pretty much cleaned up their swim area of foot hazards. About a half hour had passed, they said the pendant was the main thing and to just call it good. I asked if I could just try one more sweep around where the pendant was, they said sure. Got a faint whisper of a signal, got the pinpointer to it, grabbed a handful from the bottom and long behold, the necklace in my hand (could see where a link pulled apart).
Diana came down to check on everything, thanked me and said it’ll be a few minutes for the boy to thank me, because he was in tears still, holding the pendant.
I gathered my things, walked back up the sets of stairs to get to my vehicle and the boy that lost it came to say thanks. I could tell it was highly sentimental and was glad to have found it for them.

Lost white Gold Tiffany-T Ring Recovered, Crooked Lake – Angola, Indiana

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Saturday evening, after the Crooked Lake sandbar Music Festival (in water event), Noah and Kayla returned to their dock site where Kayla went for a short swim around the pontoon. She swam along the side of the pontoon, between it and another pier, when her hand hit the lake bottom for a moment and she felt her ring slide off her finger. She stopped, surfaced, checked her finger and saw it in fact had fallen off.
The bottom is a layer of clay silt over some gravel and sand. The spot of loss was about 3-4 feet deep. They tried to find it, kids helped also, to no avail.
A friend of mine, familiar with my services, put them in contact with me and arrangements were made for the recovery attempt this morning. She sounded confident about the exact spot it had fell off, which was nice to hear.
Kayla sent me a picture of the ring type, a Tiffany & Co “T” ring (a non closed ring), white gold with some diamonds. Non-closed rings, especially with that large of a gap, can be difficult for most detectors to sound off on. It’s just a phenomenon that occurs, as with many bracelets and necklaces also.
I’m running a Minelab Manticore detector, which is one of the newest and most sensitive units at this time. I have confidence that if any machine would “see” that ring, it would.
I let them know about the possibility, that the ring may be undetectable, but assured them that I had confidence in my detector.
In the water I went, began searching, found a couple washers, quarters, several 22 bullets, several prop curls and some nails, but no ring. Expanded the area slighly, to under the pier where her right hand was favoring, but still no ring. Worked the area from different directions, still no ring. Switched to the extra sensitive gold mode and re-swept the area further, finding a few more tiny metallic objects, but still no ring. Got the dive mask and snorkel out, worked some zones visually and with a pinpointer, finding a couple tid bits of 22 shell casings and nails again. About an hour had passed now, I was getting a bad feeling, that either the ring was indeed undetectable, or that maybe it just wasn’t there anymore.
I asked if anyone had seen them searching for it, or if they told anyone where it was lost. They said yes, two younger kids saw them searching, knew what they were seraching for and said they were going to go get goggles and come back to search for it (hopefully didn’t find it and maybe keep it). Well, I had scoured the loss spot and beyond, many many times over and I could see Kayla had a look of sadness, because it appeared as if her ring she cherished dearly was not gonna be found.
I asked if it was ok that i just try another little bit, one more hail Mary (which I seem to do on most searches). Got a very weak and low signal, but faintly repeatable, got the pinpointer down on it and got a somewhat good response with that too. Reached down, grabbed a handfull of bottom, brought my hand up to the surface, the muck fell off the sides of my hand and a nice sight to see revealed itself to me and Kayla that was looking down from the pier above. She was ecstatic, I was very thrilled and relieved (lotsa eyes upon me from above, kids watching too). Walked over and put it in her hand, carefully.

Afterwards, on dry land, I asked if I could test the ring to see how the detector reacted with it. About 2.5″ max, in gold mode, super faint 03 vdi. Glad it worked out, as were they.

Lost Keys English Bay Beach…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Don’t wait till it’s too late! Call TheRingFinders…Call ASAP 24/7 Chris 778-838-3463

I received a call from the lifeguards at English Bay beach the other day in regards to a set of keys that was lost by one of guards.

I went out to meet and see if I could locate the keys for them, when I arrived one of the lifeguards showed me the area that they believed the keys were lost in and boy was it a big area!

The saving grace was that he was walking along the high tide line the whole length of the beach so I knew I had a good chance of fin ding them. After 2 1/2 hours of searching I found them!

I’m always happy to help out the LifeGuards at our Vancouver beaches as they’ve been great to TheRingFinders!

Ring Found in Two Harbors

  • from Washburn (Wisconsin, United States)

Found by Sue Schreiner

My phone rang on a very hot Sunday morning. A new husband, Nick, had lost has wedding ring while taking a celebratory swim in Lake Superior after the marriage ceremony. I made the two and a half hour trip to Two Harbors, Minnesota in hopes of finding it for him.  I began a grid search at the rocky shoreline working my way into deeper water when Nick arrived to explain the area he had been in the night before. Fearing that the ring was too deep for me, I started double checking the shallow water before calling in a diver. Widening my search area payed off with an excellent signal. I called my search partner over to pinpoint the target. Before she could locate it, Nick gave out a gleeful shout “I see it”! He, his new wife, and his parents were ecstatic☺️. The honeymoon could finally begin!

PEARL BRACELET LOST UNDER DOCK RECOVERED DIVING..SECOND RECOVERY FROM SAME PRIVATE DOCK ST. AUGUSTINE

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)

Last night I received a call to help recover a lost pearl bracelet which fell into the water from a private dock in St. Augustine. This dock is very close to one of the oldest churches in the country and was established in 1565. Her daughter in law did not want loose her pearl bracelet before swimming so she took it off and placed it on a table on top of the dock.  When she returned and grabbed the bracelet it fell off the table and through the wood dock and straight into the water. Last January on the same dock another son had just proposed to his finance and when she held the ring up it flew off her hand and down into the water. That recovery took 2 days of diving due to the murky waters. I was really hoping this time the conditions would be better but it was not. Below the dock was a muddy oyster bed shelf and lots of debris from having the dock rebuilt. My visibility was almost non-existent I was lucky to have 2″-4″ of visibility, had to have my mask almost touching the bottom to see anything.  With a little luck and faith I was able to recover and return the pearl bracelet.
