Received a call from a young man who lost a ring while at the local beach, a very special ring. His grandfather had passed away and the ring had been engraved with his grandfather’s fingerprints, making it irreplaceable and of great sentimental value. Fortunately he had a pretty good idea where it was lost in the sand. We were able to find the ring in only a few minutes.
Alex called me and said he lost his wedding ring in the corn pit playing with his 2 yr. old. He had felt the ring slip off his finger but it just disappeared in the corn and he could not find it. We arranged with the owners for a time before they open to the public to search for his ring. Alex had a good idea on the location and he showed me about a 10ft square area he thought the ring should be in. In a few minutes I received the signal I was looking for and using the pinpointer I located the ring a couple of inches deep in the shelled corn. Alex was surprised at how quick and easy that was. Alex and wife have been married for 7 years and the ring has that sentimental value that you cannot replace. It was great way to start the day on this Saturday morning! PS This makes the 5th ring I have recovered from this same corn pit and it never gets old doing it.

While watching my oldest daughter at soccer practice, my two year old ran towards her on the field; to avoid her being trampled by enthusiastic players, I picked her up. I instantly notice my rose gold wedding band slip off my finger. Within minutes, the whole team, the coach, and a group of helpful parents search the area. After an hour of searching, we gave up. The next morning, I purchased my own metal detector and searched the area for hours with no luck. I found Jeremy on the ring finder website, and he was confident he could find it. After searching the soccer field for a while, he was able to find my ring!

On Thursday September 25th, I had an appointment in Portland,Maine. Just as I was approaching Portland, I received a Phone call from Deborah, about a lost ring. We made plans for Cheryl and I to meet her, as soon as my appointment was over.
Once Cheryl and I arrived at Deborah’s home, Deborah told us that approximately a week earlier she had been sitting on her deck, in the backyard. Deborah had been gardening and her fingers were very sweaty, so she had taken her three rings off and placed them on the table.While sitting at the table, someone bumped into the table and her three rings went spilling, onto the deck. Everyone immediately started looking for the rings and two of Deborah’s rings were found immediately, including her engagement ring. One ring was on the deck and the other ring was found down on the bricks, that surrounded the deck. The missing third ring is Deborah’s wedding ring and she desperately wanted to find it. After searching for a while, the ring was not found. The consensus was that the ring must have somehow slipped through the very narrow boards, of the deck and ended up under the deck. The other theory, as to where the wedding ring had ended up was that it rolled into the leaves and or plants, around the deck and garden. Unfortunately, a visual search did not find the ring. Deborah also had someone come over and remove two of the boards, on the deck, hoping the ring would be found or seen. Once again, no ring was in sight.
Since Cheryl and I we were already on our way to my appointment, in Portland, I didn’t have any of my metal detecting equipment or flashlights. We decided to perform a visual search in the leaves and as best we could, under the deck. We also were not able to visually see the ring. I told Deborah that I could certainly come back with all my equipment and search for her wedding ring. Deborah told us that she and her husband were leaving for Boston, the next day and would be gone, until early the following week. We made plans to communicate on Monday and set up a time for Cheryl and I to come back and search, once again. On Monday, we decided to meet today, Thursday, October 2nd, to search for her wedding ring.
Cheryl and I arrived this morning and were promptly met by Deborah and her husband, Bill. This time however, Cheryl and I had brought my metal detector, pinpointer, flashlights, a small rake and a borescope (very similar to an endoscope, but not for medical use). Our plan was to first search the area under the deck, where the boards were taken off. I would use the small rake and reach underneath the deck and rake everything towards the opening of the removed boards. I would then search search the raked up debris with my metal detector. As I was doing this, Cheryl would check the other area of the deck, by using a flashlight to look between the gaps, of the boards, with a flashlight. If nothing was seen, we would use the Borescope, up and down the deck , between all gaps, in the boards. If we still hadn’t found the ring, we would then start searching, away from the deck, in the leaves and plants.
After raking the debris forward, I was searching under the deck, with my metal detector. Cheryl had the flashlight and was searching the gaps. I found a piece of metal and gave it to Deborah and that’s all I found, under the first removed board. Cheryl was working her way towards the other end of the deck and had moved the table, so she could get a better look, in between the gaps. All of a sudden, Cheryl blurts out, “ I SEE THE RING”. Deborah and I both went over to Cheryl and Cheryl showed us the ring, between the gap, of the boards. The ring had actually gone in a slightly opposite direction, as the other two rings. It was not near either removed board and was on the other side of a supporting beam, for the deck. Deborah said she had something that may work, in getting the ring. It was a wire hook and Cheryl was able to hook the ring but the ring would not straighten out and wouldn’t fit through the gap. As Cheryl lifted the hooked ring up to the gap, I slid my arm under the support beam, as far as I could and I was able to get a hold on the ring. Once I was able to remove the ring, from the hook, I pulled the ring, out from under the deck and handed the wedding ring to Deborah. Deborah immediately stated “You have no idea how happy I am to have my wedding ring back.” By the smile on Deborah’s and Bill’s faces, we had a pretty good idea. Cheryl asked the couple how long they have been married and their reply was “Forever”. Bill and Deborah told Cheryl and I the story of their wedding rings. The wedding rings were custom made by Portland Old Port Jeweler, Designs by CC and Bill’s ring is the same ring, minus the diamond. A his and hers set, so to speak. Now the missing ring is back with its mate and everyone is all smiles. We love being able to help others out in their time of need, like Deborah. Cheryl and I love our jobs 😀❤️🙏
I received a text from Erika stating she lost her engagement and wedding bands. She was playing with her four year old daughter in a corn pit within a barn. A short while later she realized her rings were off. She immediately did a search on Reddit which told her about my profile and Theringfinders. I made arrangements to meet her the next day. After approx. 10min., while searching around several playing children in the corn pit, I found the rings. No matter the type of jewelry or where you may lose it, contact Tracy at 610-207-8677 to allow me the opportunity to return your items.
On Monday, September 22nd and a little after noon, I received the following text, “Hey Jim Wren, My name is Michael, and I lost my wedding ring while at North Myrtle Beach this weekend. Based on photos, I know I lost it at some point yesterday before 1:30pm but I had it that morning around 9am in some family photos – we then went to church, back to the place we stayed and then out to the beach…Idk if it’s in the sand or the water but I hadn’t gone past that shore for a bucket of water or anything by the time the first photo shows it missing. This time I can’t remember taking it off my finger but the day before I did and put it in a bag pocket and I checked the few places I would’ve put it and can’t find it. It’s kinda broken so it may be separated or in one piece. It says “Rocio 3/19/22” on the inside.” Michael also sent a map showing where he stayed and where he suspected the loss happened. He also texted, “I had stayed here and went to this beach access straight up the road.” I called him and didn’t get a response but did get a text that he was in a business meeting. He called a little bit later and I got a few more details. I asked him if he had any pictures that might give me a better idea of where he lost it. Just prior to me leaving, Michael sent me a picture showing a perfect view of the area of loss from the ocean to the back of the resort.
I arrived to the beach about an hour before how tide, so I had the opportunity to search from mid-tide to the low tide line. I started a grid line search from the north side of the resort and worked perpendicular to the beach. I had my Equinox 800 and knew a Tungsten Ring would ring up in the 15-18 VDI (visual display indicator) range. I was probably on my 8th line when I got a strong 15 on the VDI. I dug a scoop of sand out and checked the hole. I had the target in the scoop, so I dumped the scoop on the beach and spread the sand out with my foot. I ran the coil over the sand and hit the target, looked down and saw his ring. I picked his ring up and gave it a good look to see if it was broken like he mentioned. The ring looked in one piece to me. I also ran the coil back over the hole and the spread-out sand to double check and make sure there was nothing else. I made a quick video showing Michael the area I searched and then raised his ring up in view of the camera saying, “I found it.” I also sent the picture showing his ring and letting him know the engraving matched. I called him and he asked about the ring being in 1 piece. I told him it was, but I really hadn’t understood what he was talking about. I looked at the picture he originally sent and finally saw the bottom piece of the ring that had been in the picture. I told him that I’d go back out the next day and search for the bottom piece. On the way home I got his ring in the mail and on its way. When I got back the next day, I did a complete grid search from the north end to the south end of the resort and from the mid tide line to the water and didn’t have any luck.
Michael – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. I wish all the best to you and your family.

If you just lost a piece of jewelry and came across this page, give me a call/text or leave a message right away and I’ll be able to come out and help you find it -Louis 305-608-1870. I have a Metal Detecting service where I go out and help people find their Lost items whether it’s at the beach, in the sand, in the water, or in your backyard. In the pictures above, I was called out to find the Lost platinum ring in the sand on Miami Beach. He was on vacation and was relieved when I was able to find his ring. He was on his hands and knees for a while looking for it without any luck.
Playing with his dog, he lost his very heavy platinum ring in the yard.
While searching for it he must of accidentally stepped on it because when I hit it
all I could see was the edge of the ring, totally flat in the ground.
Turned out to be a fairly easy search taking about a half an hour.
Lost Gold Bracelet Found in North Wildwood Garden!
Kate was gardening in North Wildwood, NJ when something unfortunate happened — she lost her beloved gold bracelet. She searched the area carefully but had no luck finding it. Feeling frustrated and disappointed, she remembered hearing about the Ring Finders South Jersey.
That’s when she contacted me — her local North Wildwood ring finder.
I answered her call right away and asked a few key questions about where she thought she lost it. Kate explained she had been moving plants and spreading mulch when she noticed the bracelet was gone.
Luckily, I was nearby and told her I’d be there in 10 minutes. I grabbed my metal detector and headed over.
When I arrived, we walked around the yard. Kate pointed out a grassy area and the garden where she had been working. I began searching the grass first. After a few passes, the detector stayed silent. No signals there.
Then I moved to the garden bed where Kate had spent some of her time that morning. Almost instantly, my metal detector gave off the sound I had been listening for!
I carefully dug into the soil, pushing aside the fresh mulch. About five inches down, I spotted a glimmer of gold — the bracelet was found!
Kate was so relieved. She said, “Thank you for finding the bracelet, it is very special to me!” Hearing that made my day.
She explained that it must have slipped off while she was moving soil and plants. The bracelet had great sentimental value, and she thought it was gone forever. But thanks to the Ring Finders South Jersey and a fast response, she had it back in no time.
It was an awesome day in North Wildwood, NJ — one that ended with a happy reunion between Kate and her lost jewelry.

Received a text from Glenn stating he lost his wedding ring in his backyard. He found a hole in his backyard and thought it was a gopher hole, big mistake. He stuck a stick in the hole and a yellow jacket stung him on the wrist. He swatted them away from his head and ran to the house to save himself. Moments later he noticed his ring missing and assumed it flew off his hand at that time. He had used a metal detector but was just getting a lot of signals and did not find the ring. I started to grid the area around the hole and the path he took to get back to the house. In a few minutes I found his ring about 10ft from that hole in the ground. He has been married for over 30 years and he gave his wife a call to give her the good news.
