Lost White Gold Ring Underwater Found On Harsens Island Michigan

Dad’s Island Gold…

….As Nate and his family steered their watercraft towards a quiet and relaxing island, rough waters had them veer off course towards a dock that was reachable. As Nate roped off the boat and stepped off onto the dock his ring slipped off. On site this morning calmer water greeted us. The path from shore to the suspected location led us over slippery rocks but eventually we felt nice firm sand beneath our feet. At a depth of 4 feet or so I started to metal detect a grid search area. Looking thru my scuba snorkel mask I could easily see the metal detector coil as I searched, along with a few mollusks attached to the dock piers and mossy rocks. I was surprised that I didn’t get any junk metal signals by the dock. A few more coil sweeps and I got a good signal. Taking a deep breath, submerging to about 5 feet and reaching into the sand with my pin-pointer revealed this nice white gold ring! As I came up thru the water and surfaced, Nate was excitedly watching as I held his ring into the air! Moving to shallower water, he immediately put it back on, closed his fist and headed for his camera!, along with saying how thankful he was that his ring would not be a permanent resident on the island.

Lost wedding band recovered in Manasquan NJ by Dennis Burlingame

Contact:

Got a call from fellow RingFinder Matty St Germain if I would help with a recovery. Matty got a call from Heather that while enjoying the beach her husband Andre was in the surf with his daughter and felt his wedding ring slip off. Matty went down the next 2 low tides but couldn’t find it. Having bad weather the ocean was a little choppy and hard to detect. I went down not knowing if I was going to hunt because a storm was on its way that night, the ocean was choppy but I went in anyway. Working through the swells after about 45 minutes I got the low tone on the detector I was looking for and found the ring. I met Heather where she was having dinner with her family that night and returned her husband ring. Another happy ending for all.

Lost Lady’s Diamond Engagement Ring – OBX– Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Heather called me around 1:30 today.  Are you Ed Duffey?  “Yes,” I answered.  We need your help.  I’ve lost my engagement ring on the beach.  We’ve looked and looked and even got a metal detector but it just beeps at everything.  Her voice was quivering somewhat as she describe the facts of how it was lost.  She was distraught.  Why shouldn’t’ she be? She had only been given the ring two days ago.

I said, don’t worry, we have a very good chance of finding it.  I’m in my truck now so I have to head home to pick up my gear and I will be there as soon as possible.

When I arrived Heather was waiting and led me down to where here and her fiancé Steven thought it was lost.  They had put a canopy over the area to mark it.  It was 93 and the sand was very hot!!

I began my sweeps.  I got and immediate hit but it was very deep so I decided to go on.  I covered the entire canopy area and that same area down to the water.  No luck!  I then check out the area around their chairs…nothing!

I went back to the deep target.  I took a scoop full of sand out and it was still in…next scoop got it.

The dazzling diamond display lit up the sand.  I picked it up and they asked did you find it.  I held it up and Heather and Steven were ecstatic!

As the neighboring canopies rang out in applause,  I decided to give the ring to Steven so he could present it to her again…formally.  Romance on the beach!!!

Lost Ring Randolph NJ… Found!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

LT contacted me after losing his wedding band at the beach.  He had placed it in a zipper pocket in his tent and forgot to zipper the pocket.  When he was getting ready to go home the ring was nowhere to be found.  We made plans and met up at the local beach in Randolph NJ where he had lost the ring.  LT was great, he knew exactly where he had been sitting and was able to outline an area to help narrow down the search area!  I started searching the area that he had outlined, and I was able to locate the ring in about 20 mins.   So happy I was able to help reunite ring and owner! 🙂 And remember, if you have lost an item take note of the exact area you are in with landmarks or pins on Google maps.  It really helps in locating any item you have lost!

Lost Man’s Wedding Ring In San Antonio, Texas (Found)

Contact:

Received a text from Adriana late Wed. night, 7/28, asking if I could help find her husbands lost wedding ring. We talked by phone the next day. She told her husband and son were playing basketball at the neighborhood park the previous Sunday. At some point during their play time his ring came off. When they finished he noticed his ring was gone. They searched all around the court but could not find it. She told me they were only playing half court so she was confident the ring would be in the thick grass in that area. No one was able to join me right away at the park so I went there and began my search. Shortly after I started Adriana’s very sweet mom showed up to keep me company and to provide moral support. After about 45 minutes of searching I got that solid tone that I had be waiting for. Under my coil in very thick grass I could see the ring. I looked at mom and gave her a thumbs up to indicate that I had found it. She was very happy. Husband and wedding ring are now reunited. Another happy story continues.

Lost Ring Pacific beach ocean surf found with metal detector San Diego

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:


The Ring Finders Metal detector service helped find a precious platinum wedding band ring buried in the Pacific beach ocean sand at San Diego. Call or text 760 889 2751  “Who ya gonna call” ?

   Recently one morning I was contacted via TheRingfinders webpage. David had lost his wedding ring in the ocean surf and was asking if I could help find it…I certainly can always help retrieve lost items with one of many water proof Metal detectors I am equipped with.

After a few mutual questions & concerns, We decided to meet at that exact location on a morning during a much lower tide when the chances of finding any metal objects in the Pacific Ocean surf are much higher.

Upon arriving to the scene of this lost wedding ring my hopes sank as I was looking at large trough holes the size of UFO’s plus 6’ deep in some areas where the rest of the beach is in its usual state of ankle deep water. These hungry rip tide occurrences can swallow rings as they shift or fill in over night. I once heard about a Detectorist’s that fell in these type of holes flooding his machine while nearly drowning at night….He never found what he was looking for.

Long story short, David came down and pointed out the rough area he lost his ring while swimming. Fortunately there was some hope left as half of the search zone was not in the rip lines…Then again half was but I stayed optimistic,Geared up and was able to carefully retrieve his precious ring 3’ feet from a UFO hole after only 45 min of searching.

There is never an end to such successful returns I have found,, Because the stories behind these lost wedding rings can now live on.

Lost Ring Under Deck. Another find for the Calgary Ring Finder

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Haylee called me. Her great, great grandmother’s ring dropped between the boards of the deck. She looked immediately, looked later, had the boards pulled up and had several other people look as well. Two weeks passed and it was till not found.  She called me to help out. I followed along as she shared her story. Based on what she said and the conditions present, she should have already found it herself.  I picked up where she left off and couldn’t find it either. That is when we started questioning what actually happened. With a new approach it didn’t take long before I hit the sound I was looking for. Watch my video for the details and the beautiful reaction from Haylee.

Man’s Wedding Band Slipped off in the Ocean, Found and Returned Holden Beach, NC

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

I woke up this morning to a text message saying, “Good morning. My husband and I got married on OIB 6/11. We are vacationing in Holden beach with friends this week. Late yesterday afternoon he watched his wedding band slip off in the ocean.  We had a nice guy come this morning at low tide with a metal detector, but no luck. He recommended getting in touch with you. Are you available to help find my husband’s wedding band?” I called the number attached to the text and talked with Francine. I asked the usual questions, “what time did he lose it, how deep was he, and does he have a good idea of the area.” She responded he had lost it around 6 p.m., about knee deep, and was sure of the area. I knew the tide at Holden was at 4:55 p.m. the day before, so he lost it about an hour after low tide. It’d be a challenge but not impossible. I told her I’d be up there at 4 p.m. which would give me a little under 2 hours to search before the tide changed.

When I arrived, Chuck met me in the drive way and introduced himself as the husband who lost his wedding band. He confirmed everything Francine had told me, so I told him to lead the way and we’d try our best to find it. I could tell Chuck was distraught over losing his ring, and who wouldn’t be. Chuck and Francine led me past the swimming pool, where many of the friends were hanging out. We continued across the boardwalk and out on the beach. Smartly, Chuck had lined himself up between a post and trash can on the beach when it happened. Since we weren’t on a part of the beach that had public access and a lot of trash, I decided to use my White’s PI. I started a grid search from the wet sand out into the surf, which was building and getting a few larger waves. As I finished my second grid line, I confirmed with Chuck about the post and trash can. He thought I should move over to my left and line up with an umbrella that was up on the beach. It was getting late and I figured the umbrella wouldn’t be up much longer. So, I moved over a few more feet and lined up with the corner of a beach house roof to help keep my grid lines straight. Those few extra steps made the difference. I walked back out in the surf, turned around and was making my way back to the beach for the next line. About 20 to 30 feet from the beach, I got a solid loud tone. Since it was the only signal I had gotten, I felt pretty confident it was Chuck’s ring. I dug a scoop, the target was still in the hole, two more scoops and I still didn’t have the target. Without looking, I knew Chuck and Francine were watching me with great anticipation. Took a fourth scoop and had the target. Instead of shaking the sand out in the water, I carried the scoop up to the beach and dumped it. Ran the coil over the pile, got the signal and spread the sand with my foot. I don’t know if Chuck or Francine saw the ring, but I did and reached down and picked it up. I washed the sand off it and handed it to Chuck. Francine excitedly screamed and jumped in Chuck’s arms. Within a few minutes everyone that had been sitting around the pool was now running down the beach with excitement. What a warm wonderful feeling seeing Chuck and Francine so happy and excited, this is exactly why I do this.

Chuck and Francine – Thank you so much for allowing and trusting me to help find your treasure. Sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of your vacation!!!

Jim

Lost Lady’s Gold Ring with Red Heart – Duck– Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from after 6 pm from Keith.  His daughter Emily had lost her gold ring when a sudden thunderstorm came up and they had to hurry off of the beach.  The ring had been in the cup holder with her phone but as they ran off of the beach…It was lost in the sand.

I asked the normal questions about if they knew approximately where they had lost it and if it was possibly in the water.  He was sure of where it was lost and it was not in the water.  However, it was low tide and if I waited, it could be in the water before morning.  I told him that I would come right out.

When I arrived Keith showed me where he thought they lost it and Emily showed me a picture of it.  I fired up the Equinox 800 and began sweeping.  I cover the entire area and then went from there to the beach access.  I found sinkers, hot wheel cars, bottle caps, but no ring.  I decided to start over.

When I did I got a hit…weak and deep.  As I dug the target two children approached me and asked what I was doing.  I explained that I was looking for a ring…just then, as I shook my extreme scoop…a tell-tale rattle.  The ring appeared and I showed it to the little girl.  She said, “can I have it?”  I said, I’m sorry, it belongs to the girl right over there…pointing to Emily.

Emily began shouting, “he found it!”  Overjoyed, she and her dad came over for pictures.  Another happy family.
