I was contacted by Nancy who was in Newport Beach when she lost a couple pieces of jewelry.  She ask if it was possible to find a thin white gold necklace and two small crystal stud ear rings that were lost in the sand. They were lost the day before when Nancy had placed them on the edge of here towel and forgot to retrieve them before picking up her towel. 

I explained to her that small chain necklaces and stud earrings can be a challenge but I have a couple detectors that I have set up for these type searches. I was excited to give this a try. Even though we might have had beach cleaning equipment pass through that section of the beach in the morning.

When I arrived Nancy and her friends were at they exact location of where the loss occurred. I went through the area two times with one detector and couldn’t find any of the items. Even though they had moved so I could do the whole area, I thought I would come back after everybody left with my XP Deus using a high frequency coil. 

It is definitely less stress searching without people standing over you. These small items sometimes just give the slightest of signals. I set up at 74khz and a wide open program. First good signal was one of the stud earrings which had the backing on. ( easier to find) Then the other earring and lastly the thin gold chain that was stretched out length wise. It had a small pendant which probably helped get me a signal but it was still an amazing find because I had missed all these with the other detector.

I called Nancy and she arranged for me to return the jewelry to her friend, Colleen. The photo is of Colleen and her son at the moment they received the necklace and earrings. She was so excited for her friend Nancy. I like seeing these kind of reactions. This is my reward for providing this service.

 

”I WIL TRY ANYWHERE “

Lost Diamond Ring…Found Near Burlington, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Pete last month asking if I could help find his fiancé’s lost engagement ring at the bottom of a farm pond. I said maybe if it wasn’t too deep. He said he thought it was between 3 and 4 feet where she lost it. I said I’ll give it a try.

They have a small boat that they use on this pond and while coming to shore she fell out of the back of the boat. She lost her phone, sunglasses, keys and a 3 carat diamond ring!

The items had been in the water about a week when I got the call and arrived. After getting in with my detector and long handled scoop I found that the bottom was mud and at a slant so it made scooping a little difficult.

The first item recovered was her cell phone. I could feel it with my foot so instead of scooping I just pushed it in the scoop with my foot. The second thing found was her sunglasses. The third thing was the ring and I recovered it by leaning over with my pinpointer and pulling it out with my fingers. After that he didn’t care about the keys anymore!

I’ve been waiting on a picture of the happy couple for the book of smiles but it looks like it might not come so I decided to post without it but I thank him for the generous reward.

Lost Platinum Wedding Band Found! – Pewaukee, WI

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Pewaukee resident, Casey Williams, was enjoying a Sunday afternoon beach volleyball game with friends at Balmer Park when his heavy platinum wedding band came up missing. Despite an extensive search in the sand the ring could not be found.

I received a call from Casey the next morning and we made arrangements to meet on location that evening.

I arrived ahead of Casey and so began to do a grid search in the first of two volleyball courts. A child’s Matchbox truck came to light as well as a dime. The rest of the court was quiet until my XP Deus let out a solid bark. Approximately 5 inches deep in the sand Casey’s ring came to the light of day once again.

A short time later, Casey arrived. When I presented him with the little toy truck to keep as a souvenir, I could tell by the look in his face that Casey was disappointed. Then I handed him what he really hoped I would find—his ring!

It was great to locate and return your precious ring, Casey.

TESTIMONIAL – “When I lost my platinum wedding ring, I was nervous to trust someone I had never met with not only finding the ring, but especially being honest about it. There are many scenarios that played out in my head, but thankfully the reality was that Paul proved himself to be extremely competent and just as trustworthy. While I hope I don’t need his services again, I’m very glad that I have his contact information!” Casey Williams, Pewaukee, Wisconsin

Ring lost at Ski Beach Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Joe was enjoying his visit to Ski Beach on Mission Bay, at least until he lost his platinum wedding ring. He had gone down the the water’s edge to rinse his hands. when he returned back to the fire ring area where they were camped, he shook his hands to remove the water, when his ring flew off. He and others tried in vain to find the ring in the dry sand, but, no luck doing that. I met Joe there the next morning and after a few bottle caps that were reading 13-15, I got an 11 reading on my Equinox that proved to be his ring. A happy Joe is now able to get that ring resized and continue it’s story. Nice to meet you Joe and thank you for the reward.

GOLD AND DIAMOND WEDDING RING LOST IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Seal Beach (California, United States)

Cal called me a couple of days ago and told me he had lost his wedding band at central park while having a water balloon fight with his friends and family. He was there on a picnic with the basketball team that he coaches.  I made arrangements to meet him early the next morning at the park to search for the ring.  I drove over to the park the next morning which only took about fifteen minutes to get to Rancho cucamonga. We met around 8:30 on sunday morning.  Cal explained to me where he dropped the ring in the grass while he was running trying to avoid a water balloon. I set up a grid and started to search. It was a fairly large area and I wasn’t having any luck for the first hour.  Cal and his wife Cheauna were getting a little discouraged and for good reason. There one year wedding anniversary was less than a week away and the ring was very sentimental to both of them. They were such a nice couple and I wasn,t about to give up so easy so I asked more questions about which way he was running and what trees he was zig zagging around .  So  I changed direction and grid searched from another  direction. I dug a few coins and had a few other false alarms and then boom, a nice solid signal. I bent down parted the grass and there it was , Cals  stunning ring about 7 inches down . I picked up the ring and handed it to Cal  He and his wife were ecstatic and very grateful.  The looks on there faces is the mane reason I love being a part of ringfinders. After a short chat they were on there way feeling whole again.

Dads Wedding Ring Found In Denver

  • from Aurora (Colorado, United States)

Dad was doing yard work around their lovely home in the old Montclair neighborhood of east Denver.  After mowing, pulling weeds and cleaning up the yard Dad noticed his wedding ring was missing.  Searching around turned up nothing so it had to be in the yard somewhere. Mom searched out a rind finder service and contacted the Tenacious Treasure Tracker . After an hour searching we ruled out the front yard, so we moved on to the back yard. Half way through the back yard and under a tree swing we struck silver bling. Made the entire family happy.Standin for Dad.

Man’s 10K White Gold Wedding Band lost in Myrtle Beach SC, Found and Returned

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

This ring recovery started after a morning recovery, and a leisurely afternoon of walking the beach swinging my metal detector. Shortly after I got home and changed clothes, I received a call from a number that showed Toronto, Ontario Canada so I was sure it was a lost ring call. When I answered, Andrew asked if it was possible to find a ring that was lost the day before in the dry sand. I assured him we had a great chance of finding it, got the details and address of the resort, and was on my way. The Myrtle Beach area is Matt Fry’s area, but I knew he wasn’t available so I took the call. I know he’s going to be upset, not that I took the call, but because it was an easy recovery, which most of his calls lately have been in waist or deeper water at low tide. Thanks Matt!

I called Andrew when I pulled into the parking lot telling him I was there, he said he’d be right down. He and his wife Kristin were on the beach in minutes and showed me an area that was maybe, 10 ft X 15 ft. I had asked him what type of metal the ring was made of and he wasn’t sure whether it was Silver or White Gold. This really wasn’t a problem because I had the Equinox 800 and I knew if the ring was Silver, the machine would give me mid 20 numbers. If the ring was White Gold, I’d get low to mid teen numbers. The mid teen numbers are also nickels, pull tabs, and bottle caps so I had to dig everything close to the 11-13 number I was looking for. The story was that Andrew had taken his ring off and put it on a boogey board that was sitting next to them in the dry sand. Shortly afterwards, someone picked up the board and the ring took flight. I started my east/west grid working my way south and finding plenty of bottle caps but no ring. I did about 6 or 7 grid lines and was running out of real estate so I turned around and went back to my first line and took a step to the north of that line. Boom! Three steps on that grid line and I got a solid 12 on the detector. I was positive I had his “White Gold” ring. Dug a scoop, shook the sand, and Bingo! As I let him get his ring out of the scoop, I said, “You’re ring’s not Silver.” He identified his ring, looked at the stamp inside the ring and said, “It does say 10K.” Irrelevant of what it is or isn’t, it’s definitely his ring and back on his finger where it belongs. Another happy ending with big thank yous from both Andrew and Kristin.

Andrew and Kristin – thank you for allowing me to help find your lost ring. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home.
