Wedding Band Lost After Topsail Beach Swim Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Justin and his family were spending the day at a Topsail Beach.  As they were enjoying the day and a beach swim, Justin began to dry his arms and hands on his beach towel.  He felt the ring fly off of his finger but didn’t see where it had landed.  He knew there must be some way to find a person who metal detects to come to his rescue.  Within minutes, he found The Ring Finders and called me to help him recover his ring of almost 9 years.   I told Justin I would load up and begin the 1:30 hour drive.  Upon arrival, and after a few brain fog moments of my own, I began to search the beach.  On about the 3 pass, Justin removed the sun shade that was in the path and  I hit another signal but wasn’t too sure it was Justin’s ring.   As I placed my detector down to further investigate the iffy signal, the Minelab Equinox 800 coil landed upon a strong 12 signal.  I looked up at Justin and said “I think that is your ring”  Sure enough from under the coil and out of the sand, I lifted up Justin’s wedding band.  He was thrilled because he was leaving to head back home very soon!

Contact:

 

The Ring Finders Metal detector service in San Diego helped recover a lost wedding band in the beach sand,,Call Curtis Cox @ 760 889 2751.

One Recent night ago,,I received a call to help a gentleman find his lost wedding ring of 7 years that fell into the dry sand volleyball court at La Jolla shores beach.
At that time I was at home which is a 32 min drive away but couldn’t leave at the drop of a hat,, So I suggested another ring finder that’s located closer but he text me back & I got the Nod.

So off I went with a big cup of iced coffee driving 88mph in the slow lane at 8:30p.m!  Upon arriving to the dark scene of the lost ring he shows me the area where he felt it fly off when he was playing volleyball. I started grid scanning with my trusty Dual field metal detector and just after finding a piece of buried trash & bottle cap,,,I unearthed his precious wedding ring from the grains of sands. That’s when the sound of cheers/relief kick in…! Thank you for the kind reward:)

Lost Gold Ring and a Special Dime!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:


Saturday night I was about to turn in when I got a message from Megan.  I quickly read it and knew I had to help her so I asked her to give me a quick call.  She immediately called and explained that earlier in the day she was swimming in the Gulf when the ring that was on her pinky finger slipped off.  This ring had been her father’s and she had it resized to fit on her finger.  She was frantic to get it back.  Megan knew exactly where she had been sitting on the beach so after a quick Google Map pin to mark the area, we made plans to meet in the morning.  I got there a little before she did and had already made a few passes in the Gulf when she arrived, said hello and sat down to watch.  I went back and forth with zero targets for a long time until I finally heard a good tone.  It was too high pitched for the gold band I was looking for but I never pass up a good tone so I quickly dug it up.  I called out to Megan that “it was just a dime” and kept going.  I didn’t go two steps until I heard a perfect low tone and I signaled to Megan to watch.  Sure enough, I had her delicate gold ring in the scoop and I started walking towards her.  I held it out to her and I could see that she was crying a little when to my surprise the first thing she asked was if I still had the dime.  I said that I did and gave it to her and she smiled with a tear in her eye.  She went on to explain that her family had “this thing with dimes”.  It started back in 2014 when her Grandfather passed away.  Before he left, Megan’s Grandmother asked him to “drop a dime” to let them know he was okay.  Dimes started appearing for the whole family and the stories have continued for years.  Megan’s Grandmother passed in April and she dropped dimes for Megan and her cousin within hours.  So you can imagine that after over an hour and a half of watching me find nothing, the words “it’s just a dime” made her perk up and take notice.  Megan said that when within 60 seconds later she had her ring back, all she could think was “OMG, no way Grandma”.  I love this hobby!!!  I’m so glad you got your ring back Megan and I’m very glad I could help deliver a dime!  God Bless!

Lost Ring Found! Uncasville Connecticut

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

A lost ring was found in Uncasville, Connecticut! Sara’s engagement ring was lost while doing yard work. She was planting flowers in the front yard and walking pulled weeds to the back yard brush pile. After tossing a handful of weeds into the pile, she started to walk away and noticed her wedding band was loose. Her worst nightmare came true when she looked down to resituate the band. The engagement ring was gone! She retraced her steps, crawled around in the grass searching, and purchased a metal detector from a local sporting goods store. NONE of these efforts were successful, and by the time she found me online, Sara had lost hope of finding the ring. We figured out a date, and I met her on her property. We discussed where the ring could have been lost and narrowed down the areas. I started searching with my metal detector in the most likely spots the ring was lost. I FOUND the engagement ring pretty quickly in the brush pile where she tossed the weeds!

Lost cell phone on the beach, Seaside Park NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

I got a call from Steve about a cell phone his wife had lost at the beach. He sounded pretty nervous, and explained that the tide was washing over the spot it was lost. I told him I would be there in about 20 min, and to stop digging with the shovel in fear that it would get broken, and the salt water would ruin it.  When I arrived there was a small moon creator where he had been digging. Steve explained his wife was doing a sand heart video when the hole caved in, which was about 2′ deep.  Then a few large waves washed over it and made it next to impossible for her to continue looking, that’s when she called him for help and the shovel. After a quick search of the area I came up empty handed. Unfortunately after slowly digging and searching it was still no where to be found, and he decided to give up. He messaged me the next day with a picture he didn’t know existed and it showed his wife about 3′ east of the area we had previously looked. To top that off it was right where he had put a large pile of sand to block the rising tide. He picked me up the next evening and the phone was found in about 5 minutes. Steve couldn’t believe how quick it went once we were searching the right area.

Lost Wedding Ring Gold Found Minnesota Lake

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

While at a beach for a family day, Trevor was tossing a football around with his son in a local lake. Trevor had some right should issues and was throwing with his left hand. While tossing the football, he noticed his wedding ring flying off his finger and went right into the lake. He and his family searched and couldn’t find it. When they got home, Trevor searched on-line for any help he could get. He found some articles on “theringfinders.com” and went to the site. He found my profile in his area of Minnesota and gave me a call. He was only in waist deep water, so I didn’t need to load up the scuba equipment. I met Trevor and his son the next morning at the park and started the search. He gave me the exact area the ring came off, and it only took approx. 10 minutes to find his ring. Congrats on getting your valuable back Trevor, it was nice meeting you and your son.

Glad I could help out –

Lost Silver Pendant Found

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a young lady asking if I would be willing to come help her find a pendant she had lost a few months ago while mowing the yard. She described it as sterling silver with diamonds, “about the size of a penny.” Being Oregon, there had been inches of rain since it had been lost, followed by a good length of hot, dry weather.

She had found my listing on Ring Finders and knew it was more than a 500 mile round trip, but hoped I would be willing to make the trip if she covered the fuel cost. I told her I would head down the next morning and got my gear loaded-up for an early start. I took the Equinox 700 and Pro-find 35 pinpointer, along with my AT Gold as a backup.

After my 4 hour drive down, I met Abigail, and she showed me the area of the yard she was certain the pendant had been lost. She told me she had used an older metal detector that was in her family to search the area, and I could see she had also dug out a section of the grass by hand. I pulled out the Nox 700 with a 11″ coil and began going over the area. I quickly discovered this area was littered with metal. Abigail watched as I pulled out a few nails and couple of screws.

After about 30 minutes, I realized I needed a new approach. I switched over to my 5″ coil and started agian. Right away, I handed Abigail a penny, followed quickly by a second one. Just a few feet away, I heard a good tone, but it was faint and the VDI showed it to be several inches deep. I had to check, so I hit it with the pinpointer and pulled-up a clump of dried grass and saw the faint edge of something shiny, A bit of scraping with my finger and out popped the missing pendant! (I’m guessing the erroneous depth reading was due to the size of the item and how it was laying)

I palmed it and swept the pinpointer around a few times. I stood up and asked Abigail if she could tell me again what the item looked like. She said she had a picture of it on her phone and started scrolling. I asked, “Does it look like this?” and dropped the pendant in her hand.  I think all of us love to see that suprised, happy look.

Oh, and I did point out that it was smaller than a penny.
