Seaside beach / Monterey state beach, ring found

  • from Monterey (California, United States)
Contact:

Fellow was tossing a football back & forth on the Seaside beach hotel (Monterey State beach).   The guy felt his ring fly off, in the direction he’d been tossing.  But couldn’t tell if it had gone straight down (at his feet area) versus “been launched afar”.  And since dry sand immediately swallows, it was immediately invisible, no matter where they looked.    After awhile, on their hands & knees, raking with their fingers, they found the Ringfinders directory.

 

I was able to be there within 20 minutes.  And within 5 minutes after that, Bingo !

 

Glad to help you folks.   You explained that this was a recently passed-down heirloom from your grandparents.   That made it all the more special !   And thanks for the tip.

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Jim

Lost/Found Gold Ring Wedding Set In Milton, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 05/05/26, I received a call from Randy requesting my help in finding a gold ring wedding set that belonged to his wife Carole. Randy said that the wedding set had been lost in the grass at the rear of their residence while Carole was hanging up their wash on the clothes line to dry. Randy said that Carole felt the two rings as they slipped off her finger but upon searching the grass under the clothes line the rings were no where to be found. Upon responding to Randy and Caroles residence I started to search the grass under the clothes line with my metal detector. After a few minutes into the search I determined that the grass so short and dry that if the rings were on the ground it would be possible to see and recover them by searching by eye sight. I determined that the rings were not on the ground under the clothes line. I noticed that Carole had hung up a fitted bed sheet on the clothes line so that it could dry. I grabbed my pin pointer and ran it along the bottom of the fitted sheet at which time my pin pointer began to sound off. The two lost rings had slid off of Caroles finger and landed in the bottom of the fitted sheet, Carole removed the rings from the sheet and placed them back on her finger where they belonged.

Terry, like all of us have, was feeling the frustrations of life. In a moment of lasps the ring was taken off and thrown. Thrown into one of the worst locations, filled with trash and landscaping debris. She immediately regretted this……She tried to find it. Many times returning to the spot, sliding down the steep hill in desperation. She even bought a metal detector, grasping at anything she could do to find her ring. She finally ended up on the internet. Theringfinders.com was her best hope. After hours of searching through the rough terrain her ring is back where it belongs. Always an honor to help someone get back such an irreplaceable item.

I got the information from her and called back to schedule a time to look for it.I went out Sunday on memorial weekend and met Cruz. He was explaining how his wife lost it at a business while playing with their daughter. She had put it in her coat pocket because it gets snagged on things.at some point the ring had fallen out of her coat pocket.After he narrowed down the area I began my search and found it in about ten minutes. He was so excited and couldn’t stop thanking me. It makes me feel good making people happy when I find what they thought was gone forever. His wife also texted to thank me.
