Ring lost in Ocean Beach found

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

Montague contacted me about a ring his wife lost in the water at Ocean Beach. She had been in waist deep water holding their daughter when her family heirloom rose gold ring slipped off and into the surf. In looking at the tide chart, Montague agreed to meet me there at 1am for the low tide and a better shot at finding the ring. Being Saturday night, there was still lots of people partying and parking was still a problem, but, we eventually met and proceeded to the search area. Running a grid pattern from lower slope into knee deep water didn’t produce the ring, so, after re-evaluating where she was probably standing, I moved higher up on the slope. After a few more passes, I got a much higher reading than a rose gold ring should produce, but, I like to remove all targets to reduce the chance of them masking the signal I expect to receive. I scooped down, and pulled up a ring, but, as I suspected, it was a silver ring. Well, it turns out that was a second ring that she dropped into the water! Another search of the immediate area produced the nice low tone that I was hoping to hear, and the rose gold ring was in my scoop. A happy Montague now got to head home and bring the good news with him. A pleasure to meet you Montague and thank you for the reward.

Lost ring in Coronado found.

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

Patrick and his family spent the day at the beach in Coronado. Toward the end of the day, he went to brush some sand off his hands, and his platinum wedding band was brushed into the beach as well. The good thing was, that they knew where in the area it should be, and they didn’t leave until they could get help. When I got the call, I grabbed my gear and headed straight over. We managed to find each other in the dark by meeting  by one of the lifeguard kiosks, and then proceeded to the search area. They cleared their gear away so I could sweep the area. 10 seconds, two steps later, and first target, I had Patrick’s ring in the scoop! If only all of the hunts could be this easy. A pleasure to meet you Patrick and thank you for the reward.

Lost Ring Found and Returned at Earl Beach Harwich, Massachusetts

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Chris was just enjoying the sun and sand in knee deep water right in front of his wife when his ring slipped off his finger into the Nantucket sound. The usual search by several people did not bring the ring out of the sandy bottom. A more drastic recovery would begin by a phone call for help. Unfortunately the call came five days later and after the loss and the Cape’s first tropical storm of this year covered the ring with more sand than my detectors could “see” through. I tried my two best detectors on the first two days of of searching without a positive result. My detectors just could not penetrate deep enough to locate the target.

Chris and Maggie had to return home, leaving vacation land and Chris’ ring on the shore. I told them I had not given up after 6 hours of searching and I would keep them apprised of my further attempts to find the missing ring. Another 5 days passed, tides would rise and lower taking some sand away from the beach cover as I waited for my next search.

Thanks to the parking attendant for giving me permission to park without paying the $30/day parking fee for the last half hour a parking sticker was required. I parked, dawned my gear, and headed to the area. I covered the area Chris had shown me that should be holding the ring with no luck. I moved a bit further down the loose sand area. Within 5 minute I heard the tone I wanted to hear. Yes, after two deep scoops into the sand the ring was glittering as it lay on the bottom of my scoop the sun shown on it. A beautiful sight!

At home a call was made to inform Chris and Maggie of my success. Arrangements were made for a meeting and return on Sunday. We met for a bit of story telling, smiles and photos as the wedding band was returned. Of course there were many “Thank Yous”.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Kinnear Park Queen Ann Seattle

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)
Contact:

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194

Watch video link below…

James contacted me asking for some assistance in recovering his lost gold wedding band. He explained he had been doing some exercises earlier in the morning at Kinnear Park on Queen Ann Hill in Seattle. He had some gymnastic rings attached to the swing set and was doing a few moves. He decided to take his wedding ring off and placed it into his shorts pocket. Most likely after doing a few simple inversions the ring fell out and was quickly obscured by the wood chips below. He poked around looking for his ring but could not locate it. He knew he had to get someone with a metal detector if he was to get his ring back. After a simple Google search he found my profile page on TheRingFinders.com and reached out for assistance. After a few brief moments swing my detector coil over the wood chips I acquired the signal I was looking for. I called him over and with my pin pointer moved the top layer of wood chips aside. Sure enough we acquired the golden target we were after his gold wedding band! A simple search saving one more ring and collecting another appreciative smile.

Cheers,

Custom Silver and Turquoise Ring Lost in the Sand at Long Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

Matthew contacted me last night. He had been at the beach earlier in the day throwing a ball for his dog, when after a good toss, he realized his ring was missing. The ring was a bit of a loose fit, so they figured it flew off in the direction of the thrown ball. The ring was a special gift from his girlfriend, who had it custom made for him with special engravings on the sides. I let him know that we should get on the search as soon as possible, so we arranged to meet as soon as I could get to the area.

When I arrived, we met up, and Matthew and his girlfriend took me over to the area of the loss. I could see where they had been searching, and Matthew showed me where he had been standing when he threw the ball, and direction the ball was thrown. I started searching, laying out a tight grid finding bottle caps, and other various pieces of metal, but no ring. I expanded the area thinking he might have thrown it further than he thought finding more bottle caps but no ring. I widened the search area, no ring. I then went back to the starting point, and began a backwards search, and on the first pass, got a booming signal, scooped, and in the scoop was this big beautiful silver ring. I pulled it out, and they were baffled by the fact that the ring was found just behind where Matthew had been standing when he threw the ball. I always tell people that what they lost isn’t always where you think it is. That is why we as Ring Finders can be so effective at locating lost jewelry, it is because we are not emotionally tied to the search, and can think out of the box. A beautiful warm Summer evening!

I got a call for a lost ring the other day. It seems Lewis was on the roof of a house working, when he remembered his ring was on his finger. He called his wife to come and get it so he tossed it down to her, but it slipped through her hands and went into the bushes and dead leaves that covered the area. I let them know I could come immediately and was on my way.

When I got there I was shown the area, and could see that they had moved a lot of the leaves, and exposed the grass underneath. I went over the leaves, but realized that the stone and concrete work underneath was reinforced, and was making my detector sound off continually, so they would have to be moved to search them. I then began on the grass under the bushes when after about 2 passes, I got a good solid signal, and moved the grass around. There under the grass was Lewis’ ring which I promptly handed to him. He was reluctant to have his photo take, so I am holding the ring in this shot. Needless to say it was a happy day!

3 Silver Rings and One Gold Ring Lost at the Beach in Santa Monica…Found and Happily Returned.

Alaleh called in the evening saying she had lost some rings earlier in the day. We discussed what happened, and it sounded like this could result in a very successful recovery, so I convinced her to meet me at the beach as soon as we could get there, which turned out to be about 10:00 PM, so as to beat the county beach machines, and other detectors looking for treasure lost at the beach.

I got there a little while before Alaleh, and found the marker she had mentioned to me, and began my search. I made a few passes, and then Alaleh and her brother found me, and we talked about the loss. I decided on a search pattern based on the information she gave me. I searched out towards the way she believed she had gone. I went over the whole area, going beyond the scope in order to make sure something wasn’t overlooked. I found a handful of bottle caps, and foil, but no rings. I then decided to work in the other direction, as I could tell Alaleh was losing hope, and it was getting late, close to 12:00 AM, when after about 2 passes, I got a good signal, and dug. In my scoop was one of the rings, and I showed it and gave it to her. She buoyed in hope now, and I went over the hole again, scooped, and 2 more rings. I worked that hole a little more, and the lase ring was in my scoop. These rings all are very sentimental to her, 3 were given to her by her mother, and the other she bought as a freshman in college. She was so happy to have them back. What a grand night!

I received a call from Alexa about a lost ring. Her husband Stu had been surfing in the water, but removed his wedding ring and placed it in his hat in order to not loose it in the waves (a very prudent move to be sure).What happened after he came out of the water and was ready to leave was that he grabbed up all of his belongings, and walked off forgetting his ring was in his hat. When he realized what he had done, it was too late, the ring was gone. We arranged to meet at the spot for them to show me what had happened.

I got to the beach, and found them quickly. Stu went over the details of the loss, and showed me the area he had his belongings in when he went into the water, and the path he took when he left the beach. I began where he had been sitting and worked my way along the path of his exit. After about 7 passes, I got the strong signal I was hoping to hear. I dug in my scoop, and in the bottom was a nice gold ring I knew had to be Stu’s. I held it up, and showed them. They were very excited to have the ring back, not even having been married a year yet. The recovery made this a special day!

Lost Ring in Skaha Lake found by long time member of The Ringfinders.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Chad was in Skaha Lake behind his family home teaching his daughter how to swim when he realized his !8k White Gold wedding ring was missing,  he searched the water to no avail. 3 weeks later he found me on The Ringfinders website. The day I got the call I was searching Okanagan Lake for an engagement ring successfully, so I responded the next morning. After almost 2 hours of searching in the mucky silt I was feeling discouraged knowing that the ring is there somewhere, I took 3 steps from the boat dock and success there was the ring.

Lost Gold Chain, Kits Beach…Found!

Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call ASAP  Anytime 24/7   778-838-3463

After getting an early morning wake up call the day before at 4:15 AM to search for Lost Ring that I had found for a young man, then heading off to another site to look for a water main that only took a few minutes to find, I went home made a video, did a blog, spend some time with my wife, had some dinner and went to bed early. I was woken up to a phone call from a young man who lost a gold chain at Kits Beach, it took me a few seconds as I was a little out of sorts and not sure what time it was, he told me it was 10:45 pm. After chatting with Zach I knew it was important that I head out to the beach right away, arriving at the beach shortly before 12 AM I was greeted by 2 detectorists, Steve & Rick. We said our hellos and I asked them if anyone had found a gold chain? Steve said he had found one but he thought it was a junker, I took a look, hard to tell at night with a headlight, still not sure hope it was for him, but it wasn’t the one I was looking for.

I met Zach at the beach and he took me to the area he was sitting, unfortunately, he could not pinpoint the area exactly so I knew I had to put on a very slow methodical grid search. After an hour and a half, my headlight was getting weak so I went back to my car to get some batteries and change out detectors. I wanted to use my dual field to get rid of all the junk in the area and then hit it again with the equinox 800. Zach had brought a rake with him and asked if he could wake up the area that I had grid searched, I said yes for sure, the problem with raking an area to quickly is you might spread out the chain and it will become even harder to detect. When I got back with a brighter headlight and my other detector I was checking out the area Zak had raked and as I was looking I caught a glimpse of what I thought may have been gold.

I walked up to it bent down and pulled out his beautiful gold chain, it was nowhere near where Zach thought it would be, this is very common when people come back at night and try to find the spot they were at originally. I was so happy for him as I knew how much this meant to him. We both were very excited to see it and it took approximately an hour and 45 minutes to find this beautiful gold chain. Tonight was teamwork, Zach had most likely pulled up the chain with the rake to a point where I could see a little glint of gold. It was great to see how happy he was and to see his big smile!
