Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found, Donner Lake, Truckee, California

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

Got a text yesterday afternoon at 4:27pm, from Cody, requesting a lost ring recovery search for her husband’s wedding ring in Donner Lake. This wedding ring was very special having originally belonged to his late father.
He had been climbing a rock, three hundred feet or so, offshore in Donner Lake. His hand slipped and off came his ring in about 8 feet of water.
We arranged to meet at the entrance to the Donner Memorial State Park at 8:00am.
By 8:15am they guided me to a shoreline location closest to the offshore rock.
I geared up and began swimming out to the rock. With my XP Deus 2 metal detector and Blu3 Nomad dive system, I was able to recover his ring in a short amount of time.
At 8:40am I handed the ring over. He and Cody were very happy and relieved to have his father’s ring back on his finger.

Dont Rent A Metal Detector Get A Metal Detectorist!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

He is out of the Doghouse in Sandbridge VA! They put their wedding rings in the back of a zippered beach chair but forgot to zip it up. They did not realize they were missing until they got back home. They called me and I came out and started gridding the area. The first one was found about 10 feet away from where they thought and the second one about 3 feet from that. Glad to get them back to them.

Lost Wedding Ring at Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard by Dave The RingFinder

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

Call or text Dave at 805-290-5009 so he can create a plan to get your ring back!

I got a text Sunday afternoon from Chris who had been visiting from Texas and while vacationing at Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard had lost his wedding ring boogie boarding. Evidently he had just caught a sweet wave and got up to wave at this his family and off came his wedding ring into the surf. Thinking he still had a chance to find it he went out the next morning and searched the beach at low tide and came away empty handed. Chris shared his situation with a passer by on the beach and he suggested he find a guy who uses a metal detector and that he had heard of a guy who finds rings for people. He went home and found Dave The RingFinder on Chat GPT! Unfortunately Chris and his family had left Oxnard to visit family in Bakersfield and wouldn’t be returning so I was on my own. I explained to Chris that the only low tide decent enough in this cycle was the next morning at 6am and that I would go then. He gave me the area and unfortunately it was about 75 yards long by 25 wide so I had to move fast.

I got to the beach and began to move in and out of the water gridding perpendicular to the ocean. I had gone almost the entire distance south that he had mentioned when I decided to make a couple more passes before turning north to search. I had only dug two targets in that first hour so I began to theorize that most objects were buried deep. That being said on the next pass I got a solid 41 on the Minelab Manticore in about 6 inches of water and I began to scoop. And there it was, Chris’s wedding ring! It was going back to Texas after all!

Lost ring Unity Maine

  • from Brewer (Maine, United States)
Contact:

Saturday afternoon I received a phone call from Dennis of the RingFinders Of Maine. He had given my contact information to a gentleman with a lost ring in Unity Maine.  I was contacted minutes later by Eric who had lost a ring in waste deep water while throwing a football.  WE made arrangements to meet the next morning at the camp.

Once there, I got the rest of the story. Eric was attending a bachelor’s party and they were throwing a football in the water. To catch a high ball, he jumped and reached with his left hand.  He caught the ball and felt something hit the top of his head.  He asked his friend if he had thrown a rock as well. Approximately 5 minutes later, he noticed that his wedding ring was missing and figured immediately that that was what had hit him in the head.

I thought to myself, [not outloud so as not to jinx myself], this hunt is going to be easy.

After getting my metal detector and gear put together, I asked Eric to direct me to the spot he recalled being in. The bottom of the pond seemed to be a thin layer of mud, some vegetation and gravel type rocks. The first target wasn’t the VID number I was hoping for, yet I wanted to get it up to be sure. Retrieving the first target proved to be a challenge as the rocks were embedded in the mud and clay which made scooping a target difficult. AFter seven attempts, i finally got that first target that was a fishing lure!!  I said out loud “I got it!”.   Eric and his friends, exclaimed “You got it?!!!”.  I had to say “no no, not the ring, just this darn fishing lure”

The second target was a penny. The third target had the perfect VID number of 43 which is what I was looking for. I managed to retrieve the target with the second attempt  and it was the ring!  I said out loud this time , “NOW I have the ring”.

Eric’s smile says it all !

Received a call from this gentleman last night about him losing a big gold ring!

Story goes, he was fishing at a highway pond/revisor and when he casted, the ring flew off and into about 2-2.5 feet of water but got swallowed up by the sandy bottom. He and his buddy jumped in trying to find it with no luck and Brian said he would find someone with equipment to come find it. He searched via ChatGPT and it told him to go to Gold Finders where he found me!

We agreed to meet up today after I got off work.

Drove down, met him at the spot, jumped in the water and scanned around. Found three cans then BOOM his big gold ring!

Lost Oura Ring at Aulani Lagoon Ko Olina Resort… Found & Returned!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring return was triggered when I over heard on a YouTube video “Detect Florida” Shawn mentioned you can return Oura rings.  That led me to do a Google search and sure enough when I told the Oura AI Assistant that I found an Oura Ring and would like to return it.  AI asked if I could send a pic of the QR code inside the ring.  Since I had two in possession, I sent both QR Codes.  Low and behold a real person got back to me and said both were a match in their database.   Then Bridget asked if I would allow them to provide the owners with my email address and/or phone number so that they could reach out to me for a return.  Of course I agreed and the next day Dominique from Belleair, Florida contacted me.  She provided me her address and as you can see from that beautiful smile the Oura ring is back on her finger.  Aloha to Dominique!

Lost Gold Ring Recovered in Elkton, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Darcy earlier in the week informing me that while washing her dog outside in the yard, she immediately noticed that her ring was missing! She was certain earlier that day that the ring was on her finger and came to the reasonable conclusion that it must have come off while cleaning up the pup. She even rented a metal detector an attempted to locate it herself but became frustrated like most people do when she could not make heads or tails for the sounds she was getting from a detector. Despite her location being well over an hour drive, I agreed to make the trek because I felt certain just like Darcy that the ring had to be in that yard somewhere. Once I arrived, I immediately got to work. Darcy was very helpful showing me exactly where in the yard she was during her dogs’ bath. Because of that, I was able to locate the ring within 15 minutes! It made the long drive well worth it to see the look on Darcy’s face when I found it!

Lost Gold Pendant recovered in Reisterstown, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Anne informing me that while out in her front yard, she felt her necklace come loose. She was able to quickly find the chain but could not locate the pendant that was attached to it. After hours of searching the yard without success, she knew she needed help. I made plans to come out the very next morning as Anne and her husband were about to travel for several days leaving later that day. Once I arrived, Anne showed me exactly where she was in the yard when she felt the necklace come loose. I quickly got to work and within an hour was able to locate the pendant! It was face side down under dense grass, hence the reason Anne was not able to “eyeball” it during her visual search. Anne was very thankful and overjoyed when I made the find! She requested that she not be in the picture, so it is your truly showing off the recovery! I am happy I was able to get this pendant back where it belongs before Anne and her husband left for their trip!

5 Rings Lost — 1 Recovered by NJ Ring Finder on the Jersey Shore

Elizabeth was enjoying a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, soaking up the sun and having fun swimming and relaxing on the beach. To keep her jewelry safe, she removed all five of her rings and placed them carefully on her beach blanket.

As the day came to an end, Elizabeth began packing up. When she picked up the towel to shake it out, all five rings flew off into the sand. She managed to recover four of them, but one special ring was still missing.

After searching without success, she decided to call me — Edward Trapper, the NJ Ring Finder — a name she heard from several beachgoers nearby. We made arrangements to meet later that evening. The beach was mostly empty by then, which made things easier. Thankfully, Elizabeth had marked the location where she believed the rings had landed, just as I had asked.

I started searching the area she pointed out but came up empty. That’s when I asked her to demonstrate exactly how she shook out the towel. With strong southwest winds blowing, she showed me that she had been facing north when she did it. Based on that detail, I widened the search and adjusted my direction.

Just one additional pass in the new area and I had the missing ring in my scoop!

Elizabeth was stunned — and thrilled. It’s amazing how the smallest details can make all the difference.
