Paula called to ask if I could help find her daughter, Ashley’s, gold high school class ring and another gold ring in Cape May, NJ. They forgot the rings were on their beach blanket and both went flying into the sand when the blanket was pulled up before leaving. After a quick search with my metal detector, the rings were found! Thanks to Jeff Laag for the referral as he was unavailable at the moment.

Here at TheRingFinders we don’t just find rings…We can find cell phones too, cell phones are such a lifeline in so many ways and have become so extremely expensive and they have a lot of memories such as photos and videos & Banking info. I went out the other night and happened upon two cell phones and was able to get both of them back to the owners. I have found a way through help of other members to pull the phone numbers from iPhones I find by putting the Sim card in my iPhone. There’s a way you can find the number, I have surprise quite a few people now by contacting them and saying I have found your phone. Some people just give up and get another phone, but their phone number stays the same therefore it often is a nice surprise for the people to get their original phone back. Especially at the cost of replacement nowadays, this young man was very happy to get his phone back that I found on a beach beside a fire pit. Great guy and happy to get it back to him!
I have the best job in the world, I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile!
I got a text at 3:46 but I was busy getting food ready for the grill. As I was eating my ribs about 4:30, I noticed I had a new text. It was from Olivia. She said that she has lost her ring on the beach.
I gave Olivia a call and let her know rings lost close to the water need immediate attention. The Outer Banks is known for it’s high-energy surf. Once the ring is underwater, it’s not telling where it will end up. Luckily the tide was receding but will only be going down until around 5:50PM. I told her that I could be there in about 10 minutes.
When I arrived, I met Olivia and her friend Bessie. They showed me where they had been sitting and the path they took to the beach. The walked south for about 50 yards after that and then noticed the ring, which Olivia put in her pocket, was missing!
I fired up the D2 and followed her path to the beach. I even went deeper than she had showed me thinking it may have been washed in by the very active waves. Nothing! I proceeded south along the path of her walk covering it from the water to the dry sand. I found nothing but a few bottle caps.
I was heading back to Olivia to ask what we had missed. I cut between where she had walked on the beach and where she had walked down to the beach. Ding! A strong hit. I scooped the top layer of sand carefully…the gold ring shined out brightly. It was the ring!
I held it up and Olivia ran to get it. She was over the moon!
This beautiful platinum ring was lost by a San Francisco couple, while camping in Big Sur, south of Carmel, CA. They found the RingFinders directory, that allowed us to coordinate for a hunt. Glad to help. Glad the heirloom remains in your family !
Imagine that you are getting married in two weeks. Imagine that your fiancé proposed to you with a beautiful diamond ring. Now imagine that you have come down to Fort Walton Beach to celebrate with friends before the wedding and you dropped the ring in the Gulf of Mexico. That is definitely a problem! 😳. To make matters worse, this is no ordinary ring and as Hillary and her friends explained it to me, I knew I had to help. This ring had an amazing story because the main diamond actually came from the Grandmother of Hillary’s fiancé. It had been with their family when they fled Germany all the way back before the Holocaust. They had come over and became part of a small German settlement in Mississippi called Gluckstadt. To build a life and pass down your ring to your Grandchildren so they could start a new life with their loved one is a true American dream. Was I going to let this American story end today??? On the 4th of July???Not if I could help it!Hillary and I came up with a plan and I agreed to meet her at sunrise to get past the Holiday traffic and all of the people in the gulf. When I got there I saw that the waves were pretty big and they were crashing into the sand right where Hillary felt like she lost the ring. I headed out and immediately got knocked back so hard that I took the sunglasses around my neck back to the beach. I came back out and made it a little way before I again got slammed and my headphones went flying off of my head. As I chased the ear cups I walked back to the beach. Hillary had gone back to the room so I asked her two friends how tall Hillary is. They said she is 5’2”, I smiled and said “guys, I’m almost 6’3” and I weigh 220lbs, there’s no way she could have been walking around out there if the waves were similar in the days before.” They quickly said that Hillary was nervous I might miss it and was erring on the safe side. They both felt like she had lost it closer in. I explained that I would start shallow and move out but I promised I would go as far as needed to find it. I took a few passes as people started to come out to the beach and I got to the area where they had pointed. I got a high tone and battled to scoop it in the surf. I dig every signal on a return so unfortunately this turned out to be a dime but I only went about five feet further when I heard the tone I wanted. Again it was a battle but I was able to gingerly lift the scoop and let the water and sand rush out of it. Staring back at me was a beautiful diamond ring and I was absolutely thrilled. I started walking in with a big smile on my face and they gradually realized that I had it. Hillary was in disbelief until she got it back on her finger and even then she still couldn’t quite believe I had found it. I am so glad that I could help keep this amazing American story going and even add a new chapter that their family will remember. Congratulations Hillary and Happy Independence Day everyone.
I got an email from Debbie letting me know that her husband lost his wedding ring the week before at PJ Hoffmaster State park. After attempting to locate it with a friend and their metal detector with no success they contacted me through The Ring Finders website. I met up with Debbie and her husband the next day and after a 30 or 40 minute search his ring was in my scoop. 😎
I received a text from Hailey who said her friend Gavin had lost his deceased father’s wedding ring at Grand Haven State Park. After returning home to Muskegon, Gavin called me and stated he’d lost the ring IN the lake. The detector I had with me wasn’t waterproof so i would have to run home to grab my Garrett AT Pro and meet up with him about 2 hours later. When I arrived at the beach Gavin and his mother were there, as well as Greg, the Ring Finder from the Grand Rapids area, and 2 firefighters with metal detectors already searching. After a brief 15 minute search I got a signal so loud that it startled me and I had his family heirloom in my scoop. His mother was so overjoyed she started to cry.
I received a text from Dan, saying he had lost his wedding band. He and his wife, Emily, were visiting from their home in Missouri, vacationing at a private home on the shore of Lake Michigan. Spending the beautiful day on the sand beach with lots of family and friends, Dan noticed his ring was missing shortly after they had played some catch. He pointed out two areas where he suggested I start: right next to the water, and an area right in front of the whole group of family and friends who were sitting on the beach, watching, not wanting to get in the way of the search. Checking the area next to the water produced only a rusty can lid, but on the third sweep of the area in front of the group I got a good solid hit. Bingo! There it was in my first scoop. Whoops and hollers and high fives from the group watching, and Dan and Emily’s 11 year marriage was back on track. Saving good memories of the 2022 vacation in Michigan!!
I received a call from Teri about her father’s World War II ring that was lost in Stone Harbor, NJ on Saturday. Her father, who was very fond of the sea, was a Merchant Marine in World War II and his ring is very sentimental to the family. Her son, Patch, has been wearing the ring for the past few years. To keep the ring safe while on the beach, he placed it in the cup holder of a beach chair. Unknowingly, his cousin put on the backpack chair and went to the water to clean off some sand before leaving. Patch realized the ring had fallen out, and he and his family searched the area. They resigned to the thought that it was probably lost forever since it may have been dropped in the ocean.
I met up with Teri and did an extensive search of the area where it might have fallen out. I had to return a second time to be able to go out farther in the water. It was in waist-deep water that I finally got the signal. It was a great feeling when the ring showed up in the scoop and was able to be returned to the family.

Yesterday late afternoon I received a call for help from a young man who had lost his wedding band at Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver. He sounded very upset and really really wanted me to get out there as soon as possible to help find it. I understand what these items mean to people so I jumped in my car rescheduled another search and headed to Spanish Banks.
After asking all my typical questions it sounded like it could be a relatively quick search, I’ve been fooled many times by thinking that. When I arrived I met Chris who showed me a very small area where he believe the ring had fallen, a gathering up my gear and within a minute found his beautiful ring.
It’s amazing how fast the sand can eat up a persons ring and make it near impossible to find a good medley text her and someone who knows how to use it.
This definitely made up for the last three outings where I spent over 14 hours looking for a platinum ring at Kits Beach with no luck. Unfortunately it was lost in the soft sand, but I gave it a good effort.
I was so relieved for this young man to see the ring in my scoop so quickly, sometimes it happens like that and I will take it when I get it. It was great to meet Chris and his wonderful family and to see that smile back where it belongs.
