Lost Wedding Ring Recovered in Mauston, WI

Waterpark Distress

July 30, 2025

Sandy Shores Resort in Mauston, WI offers users an exciting inflatable obstacle course.  The inflatables sit atop a clay lined pool landscaped to bring the lake experience to users.  Ringed by clean, soft sand, it offers ample seating for those just wanting to enjoy the sun.  It’s the beach brought to south-central Wisconsin.

Sebastian was enjoying the floating inflatables when, while climbing back up out of the water, he felt his wedding ring slip off into the water.  As a newlywed, he really wanted this ring back, and had been looking for the ring for four days, diving down and searching by feel.  At the depth where his ring was lost, it was completely dark.  He even tried some ideas provided by a local detectorist to no avail.  When he called, he was desperate for success.      

After speaking with Sebastian and receiving a few aerial map images by text, I agreed to the search.  The owner of Sandy Shores was gracious and gave me permission to dive before the park opened for the day.  Sebastian provided the perfect location to begin my search and after a few minutes diving in the search zone, I found his ring.

Like many jobs in life, if you have the right tools, some experience, and a willingness to try, there is often success.  Sebastian provided detailed information to guide me.  I brought the tools and the experience in using them.  Together, we returned this precious reminder of their wedding day.

Two cell phones thrown in lake, Orlando Florida…recovered by Mike McInroe, Florida Ring Finder

This search began with a text from a distraught young lady who unfortunately had her cell phone thrown into a small lake behind the Airbnb that they were staying in. And to make matters worse she ended up throwing her husband’s phone into the same body of water only minutes later…Yikes! It did not take them long to realize the error of their actions and they went online to find some much needed help and that led them to theringfinders.com and my phone number. I met them later that day and listened to their story and then I geared up with my wet suit, scuba boots, long handled beach scoop and my trusty Garrett ATMax waterproof metal detector. They had a fairly good idea where the phones landed in the water but between the weeds and the muck and silt…plus the fact that the bottom dropped away about 15 feet from the shore made it very difficult to search and retrieve any signal. I found the young lady’s phone after 40 minutes of searching and was able to use my long handled scoop to reach down over the sloped area and drag it close enough to retrieve. The young man’s phone was further out and I managed to tread water and swing my metal detector by holding on to the back arm rest portion thus allowing me to push it deeper into the water and my first good signal was an old beer can and then minutes later another large sounding signal that required the use of a long handled fishing net. After 5 attempts of dragging a net full of muck and silt and trying to keep myself lined up to where I got the signal I finally felt what I was looking for in the bottom of the net…the young man’s cell phone!

How I thank God for helping me recover these two phones and for allowing me to be a help and blessing to this young couple! How can I help you? Contact me or a member of theringfinders.com and let’s talk.

Mike McInroe…waiting to help you find your lost item!

How to find lost ring with Metal Detector, Surf City NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

 

It was a perfect day for the beach, so Nicole and her friends decided to spend the afternoon soaking up the sun. At one point, Nicole took off her rings to apply sunblock, and her friend tucked them into her pocket for safekeeping. Somehow, in the hustle of the day, the rings slipped out and disappeared into the soft white sand of the Jersey Shore. When they realized the rings were missing, panic quickly set in. Like many in this situation, they started searching frantically through the sand but had no luck. That’s when they realized it was time to call in a professional with a metal detector.

After speaking with Nicole, we agreed I should come down immediately to start the search. Her friend met me at the dune walkover and explained what had happened as we made our way back to their spot. Once we arrived, I moved all their belongings aside and began the search. Just a few seconds into it, I heard the telltale sound, and soon enough, the rings were safely in my scoop.

What could have been a tragic loss turned into a happy ending, thanks to a little patience and a quick call to me at NJ Ring Finder !!!!!!

Lost Class Ring Found in Huntington Beach Firepit Ashes by Stan the Metal Detector Man

if you need help finding a cherished keepsake call or text Stan.. 949-500-2136
*** I met Davi at a fire pit on the sand at Huntington State.Beach. He believed his silver class ring was in the sand. He had it on when he got to the group beach party. He didn’t feel it come off his finger. We scanned the area around the where he had been with no success.

As I was talking to him he said,he spent most of his time in a chair next to the firepit.

I suggested that I would return in the morning with sifting equipment to check the coals after they cooled off.

It was only 5 miles from my place and I felt it was worth a try. Davi didn’t want to bother me anymore. It was just a feeling I had, even thought he didn’t believe he did anything to lose the ring in the fire.

The next morning the coals were still hot so I took a bucket of water to cool the coals, so I could search them..

A couple of shovel full of wet soggy ashes and there was a blackened silver ring in the sifter. A lucky guess that I had because I knew the ring was not in the area I searched in the dry sand around the firepit.

Give me a call for information on metal detecting for lost jewelry.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE  .. 949-500-2136

Wedding Ring Recovered in Durham

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from a gentleman who had lost his wedding ring while mowing the grass. He said he had lost it about two weeks earlier and had searched for it (including borrowing a metal detector), but had been unable to find it. In the two weeks it had been lost, we’d had a number of major rainstorms, so I expected the ring at best, to be sitting on top of the soil and at worst, to have started to sink down into the soil. We made arrangements to meet the same day, and arriving at his house I could see that roughly half of his yard had been mowed and half was a little “overgrown”. He explained he was concerned that if it had fallen off in an unmowed area and he ran across it, the mower blade could have flung it elsewhere in the yard. For that reason, he stopped the mowing and started the search. When I arrived, he showed me where he was when he noticed the ring was no longer on his finger. Given that clue as a headstart, I began grid searching the yard, making sure to overlap my sweeps. On the fifth pass I got a rock solid signal and checking with my pinpointer, saw the ring. It was not visible from above – it had fallen through the grass – but was sitting on the soil, covered with grass clippings.

Every ring recovery is special, but this one was especially nice. He was overjoyed to get his ring back, but his wife was absolutely beside herself. Very glad to be a part of another happy ending!

Bolsa Chica Beach Metal Detecting Service Finds Lost Hierloom Ring In Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

If you need metal detecting service call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. Prompt response to your location or answering your questions. Call ASAP … Stan .. 949-500-2136
*** Brittany and her family were at Bolsa Chica State Beach. They set up a beach tent and enjoyed the day. That evening after returning home her husband, Joe realized his wedding ring was missing. It wasn’t just a normal wedding band. It was his wife’s grandfather’s ring an hierloom ring passed down for their marriages couple years ago.

Joe had no idea of when the ring went missing and he had been many places between the time they went to the beach. After searching the car and house Brittany  purchased a metal detector from Amazon. She felt that possibly the loss occurred when Joe was filling sand bags to anchor the beach tent.

She returned to Bolsa Chica beach to find the ring. Shortly after trying to learn how to use a metal detector at the beach, she called me for experienced metal detecting service. Because Brittany had remembered how to get me in the general location. The ring was recovered in a short methodical grid search using a state of the art professional metal detector.

Joe was especially relieved, he took a lot of heat for not paying attention as to when the ring came off.

Sometimes it’s hard to take on these searches where the person didn’t realize when the loss occurred.  I try to explain that searching is a process of elimination, if I do not find it, they can search other places. Most the time I can assure the persons the item is not where I have detected..  with a little explanation.

Metal Detector LBI, lost ring on beach, Loveladies NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Jessica reached out to me about a special ring her husband, Brian, had lost earlier in the day while they were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. The ring had slipped off his thumb and disappeared into the sand. After searching for a while without success, Jessica decided to ask for my help. I requested that she call instead of texting, as it’s easier to communicate that way.

When Brian called, I immediately recognized his voice from a meeting about a year earlier when he needed help locating another item. I advised them to secure the area so that no one else would set up their chairs, ensuring I had a clear space to search.

Upon my arrival, Brian pointed out the spot where he thought the ring had fallen. I quickly got to work, and before long, the ring was in my sand scoop. It was back on Brian’s hand where it belonged, much to his excitement. The ring had a unique, one-of-a-kind design and was likely irreplaceable, making the recovery even more meaningful.

Minnesota1960 Class Ring Recovered in Wisconsin

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

One of the many reasons I love my job!!! As I was on a scuba wedding ring search in Wisconsin, I found a 1960 Minnesota Class Ring. Class rings are exciting to find as they have all the information needed to find it’s owner. The high school, the graduation year and the initials of the owner. The person who lost this would now be 83 years old. After 40+ years of metal detecting, I could tell by the depth of rock/sand/muck this ring was found in, she lost it over 60 years ago. I called the library for the city the school is in. I talked to a young lady and told her what I was looking for, she was almost as excited as I was to find the name of the ring owner. She scanned the 1960 yearbook for the initials I gave her and it could only be one person.  She gave me her name “Beth” and now the internet search starts to locate the ring owner. There was no information with her name though I found an obituary for Beth’s mother, it had all the children listed(10) and I started searching for those names. I came across an add on “Next Door” for a small business that Beth’s sister has. I called and talked to Sarah. Sarah informed me that Beth had past away a few years back. I told Sarah that I’d still like to get the ring back to the family and she told me that Beth has a son, Bill. Bill contacted me and he now has the ring in his possession.

So glad I could get this beautiful 1960 Class Ring back where it belongs.
