Paula, her husband and her daughter Nisa were at Little Corona DelMar Beach which is located in Newport Beach, CA. Nisa put her small very special ring in her shoe while they were playing in the ocean. When they were leaving she carried her belongings to the showers about 50 yards up the walkway ramp. That’s were Nisa remembered to get the ring from the shoe. No Ring in the shoe.

They were in the car on the way home when Nisa’s mother, Paula called me. I told them I could meet them there in 20 minutes. We walked down to the small beach and I set up my detector 30 ft. from the area Paula was pointing out as the most likely place for the loss to happen. I did a few practice swings before walking over the spot. Guess, what ? The ring was right where I set up my practice swings.

A happy family that found TheRingFinders service and came back to the beach to help their little girl find a most cherished little silver ring. Check out that smile.

Lost ring at Coronado, Found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Reason #2. Oh, you need more info? Ok, Neil was visiting here in town and spent the day at the Beach in Coronado sitting in the sand in front of the Hotel Del Coronado. He placed his platinum wedding band into the beach chair pocket for “safekeeping”. I know, those chairs should come with a jewelry safety warning on them! Later, when he was ready to leave, he folded up the chair and headed out. When he realized that his ring was no longer in the pocket, it was too late. The beach had swallowed it. An internet search and TheRingFinders.com popped up. He texted me at 5:45am just as I arrived home from an all night detecting hunt. Still sandy and a bit tired, I knew we needed to jump on this search right away if we had any chance to find it before someone else did, so I told  him I’d be right over. I picked him up at his hotel and headed down to the search area. We walked out to where he was camped, he circled a bit, and declared this was about the spot. I made a couple of short passes and after not much more than a minute, I got that “great” pulltab/gold/platinum reading of 12-15 on my Etrac. Poked the pin pointer into the sand and pulled out Neil’s ring. A much happier ending to his visit to San Diego than it could have been. A pleasure to meet you Neil, and thank you for the generous reward.

P.S. For future reference, reason number 1 is: “I removed my rings to apply skin lotion, put them on my lap/the blanket, and forgot them.”

 

Antique Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found At The New Forest Show, Hampshire

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Removing 6 precious rings from her fingers & placing them into a hat for safe keeping, Karen from Poole thought they were safe. With her husband they were visiting the famous New Forest Show but Karen decided to remove her rings to clean her hands. Placing the ring into a hat then putting the hat on, forgetting they were there caused the rings to be tossed over a wide area.

I received a desperate phone call from them but absolutely stuck at work & couldn’t attend. They had recovered 5 but the 6th, her great grandmothers, was still missing. I happen to have my CTX detector in my car & decided the best option was for their family friend, Rob to collect the detector & try it himself.

After half an hour, camouflaged in the dry grass there it was, the distinctive sound of gold.

Karen was elated to get the ring back & will make a kind donation to the Margret Green Animal Rescue. Im glad that I could be of some assistance to them.

Lost Wedding Ring in Sand at Bolsa Chica State Beach, CA. .. Found Next Day

Ali’s family was spending a week at Bolsa Chica State Beach RV camp grounds. A vacation that they have been looking forward towards after making reservations over a year ago.

They had only been there for a couple days when Ali was given her husbands’s white gold wedding band to hold onto while he went swimming in the ocean. Ali put the ring into the pocket of her beach chair and the rest of the story is the same as many other ring losses that I’ve had this year. I’m calling this “ The Year of The Beach Chair Ring Losses”

The next day Ali called me asking for help. She felt guilty for not remembering that the ring was in her beach chair and it fell into the sand when she picked up the chair. I told her how often that this happened and that our chances of finding it were good. She showed me the location and after the first three grid passes I had the ring in my scoop. She wasn’t watching, so I walked up to her asking what the ring looked like. As she answered, I held up the ring. 

A look of relief followed by a genuine thank you. She was one happy lady and very grateful to have found this service and now they can continue their vacation on a happier note. I love being able to have the time and experience to help people like Ali.

Lost Engagement Ring in Iowa – Found

  • from Waverly (Iowa, United States)

I received a text over the weekend saying they needed my services to find a silver engagement ring in the back yard. I was not available at that time so I met up with Blake late Monday afternoon. He said him and his fiancé were chipping sticks when a stick caught the ring and pulled it off. The grass was pretty long in the back yard because he did not want to mow until he found the ring. I started the grid search and after about an hour he came and we discussed it more. The yard was not very big so I went one way and then changed directions and could not believe I could not find it. He asked if the other half of the ring would be of use. Well, Duh, I should of asked for that in the beginning….Lesson learned number one. He went and got the ring and we put it on the ground and I did a test pass. It was ringing up as a 41-43 on my AT Max….Lesson learned number 2….I assumed since he told me it was silver it would ring in the 70-90 range. I had the AT Max discrimination set pretty high. I reset the detector and started all over with the grid. Within about 15 minutes Blake came back to check on me and while he was standing there I got a hit in the 40’s. Like so many other times I figured it was nothing and started digging in the grass and there it was. Needless to say everyone left happy.  Sorry about the crappy photo.

Lost Ring in Sand at Laguna Beach,CA. .. Found and Returned

Rylan called asking help to find his silver ring that he had lost in the sand at Cresent Bay, Laguna Beach, CA. He had dropped it in the dry sand the night before and was on the beach trying to find it this morning.

Rylan told me what had happened. Then,  I asked him if it was possible for him to stay at the location till I could meet him. I only needed him for a couple minutes to get the general location. He had to be to work at 11:00 am which worked out well because I was only 20 minutes away.

When I got to the beach Rylan was standing at the spot where he thought the loss happened. I sent him on his way to work, telling him I would call him when I found the silver ring. Very important to Rylan as it was a gift from his girlfriend. It didn’t take long to find his ring, but it sometimes can go the other way when people aren’t sure when the ring was lost.

I was able to drop by Rylan’s work place to deliver his ring. It was just a few miles from where I live. You can see the smile on his face in the photo I took when we met before 12:00 pm.

Ring Lost In Surf At Wrightsville Beach Found On Sandbar

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

While surfing the North Carolina coastline with friends, Marcus was hit by a wave that sent him off of his board.  Unfortunately, he also felt his wedding ring slip off of his finger into the surf.

Marcus informed me later that this ring belonged to his late grandfather who Never took it off.  Marcus’s mother made him promise to also never take it off before she gave it to him.

Marcus’s wife contacted me shortly afterwards and we agreed to meet the following morning for more favorable conditions.   Water searches are, of course, not ideal conditions and I’m sure Marcus thought the ring was gone forever.  About 50 minutes into my search and just after speaking to Marcus, my detector rang out a very good tone.  I yelled out to him “I think I’ve got it!”  he came over just as I raised my sand scoop and was flushing out the sand & shells.  I peeked in and saw the gold then let him reach in and retrieve his cherished heirloom.  It was a very emotional moment and this time the ocean did not win!

Palladium Wedding Band Lost & Found On Bournemouth Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

David from Oxford was enjoying a weekend stag do in Bournemouth with his friends. Whilst skinny dipping he managed to feel & see his wedding ring slip from his fingers and disappear into the depths of the sea about waist height.

About three days after losing it he contacted me and I made my way there right away knowing how soft and absorbing the sands are around there.

After searching for an hour and a half in 4 feet of water up it came. I phoned a very relieved David  who promised that once he received the ring he would gladly make a donation to the Margret Green Animal Charity. He also promised a picture of him and the ring looking very happy upon its return to him. 

Mens Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found On Studland Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

David & wife Jean visited Studland Bay one beautiful afternoon to enjoy a relaxing walk. Unfortunately all did not end well. Carrying chairs & bags some 200 meters & having a bite to eat David suddenly noticed his late fathers wedding band missing. When David called me a week later to explain it seemed as though the search area would be far to large to deal with. However after some careful questioning I deduced there were a couple of ‘likely’ areas to search.

The first search area was where they ate. People wipe their hands clean-rings fall off. But it was what David did next, he cleaned his sticky hands in the sea. Within 10 minutes of searching the CTX screamed its head off & laying 6cm under was the ring.

David & Jean were so relieved to be reunited with the ring that not only did they make a kind donation to the Margret Green Animal Rescue but they actually put their names down for a dog adoption.

Mens Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found On Swanage Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

David & his wife & three children enjoyed a beautiful day on Swanage Beach. Playing football with the children proved a problem though. Noticing his ring was missing David searched desperately for over two hours, even buying a vegetable sieve to search the sands to no avail.

I received Davids anxious Email very early in the morning & knowing how popular Swanage Beach is at this time of year with treasure hunters I made for the area immediately. After searching for half an hour near his location he sieved up it came with the distinctive inscription.

I met David and his family who were very grateful to have the ring back. They made a generous donation to Margret Green Animal Rescue before returning to their home in Italy.
