Lost Platinum Ring Recovered at Zephyr Cove, Tahoe!

  • from Carson City (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

September 14, 2025, 7:03pm : Received a call requesting the recovery of a lost platinum ring at Zephyr Cove Beach. Client lost his ring while in the water and described “ that is where it fell off and got lost, the water was about five feet deep. Ring is silver, smooth with rounded edges and has custom engraving on the inside”. September 15, 2025, 7:45am : Arrived at Zephyr Cove and began donning dive gear. Half hour later began searching the lost area pinned by the client. I don’t think anyone has metal detected that section of the shallow water ever, or at least not recently. Tons of targets—bottle caps, pull-tabs, bobby pins, twist-ties, bits of foil, etc. The ring is platinum (Pt950) so on the Deus 2 should be around a 62 VDI, and of course all the pull-tabs and bottle caps were showing similar. I burned through two Nemo batteries and loaded a third. I was deep into my 4 hour of searching and the cold water was finally getting to me when I got my millionth 62 vdi target, and expected another pull-tab. But that’s the beauty of metal detecting recoveries, just as you think you’ll never find the ring and ready to call it a day, you get the surprise and joy of seeing the ring in your scoop and instantly all the effort and being cold vanishes.
Confirmed the ring was correct with client by sending a photo and specifics of the engraving. 2:52pm is stamped on the USPS receipt, so within 20 hours of being notified, the lost ring is shipped back home.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in the Sand at Manhattan Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

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

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, PLEASE CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  310-953-5268

It was around 5:30 PM, and my wife was preparing our dinner when I received a call from Chris. He had Just lost his wedding ring about 30 minutes ago while throwing a football to his friend, and was unable to find it. He was wondering if I would be able to help. I let him know that I could be there in about 30 -40 minutes to do the search so I asked my wife to put the meal on hold, and left for the beach to help Chris.

When I got there it didn’t take long to find them, and Chris’ buddy took me over to show me where the loss occurred. Chris came over to show me exactly what he had done to cause the loss. and I readied my equipment to begin the search. I searched the whole area in a tight grid with no results for his ring. I did find a ring though, and a couple of earrings, some coins and a lot of trash metal. I then worked out of the box, and widened the search area in order to cover any possibility; still no ring. I then told Chris I was going to do a cross grid in order to make sure that maybe the ring was turned in such a way, it wasn’t heard by my detector going in the other direction. After about 5 passes, I received a solid signal, dug and had his ring in the scoop. I brought it over to him to his surprise, and happiness. Sometimes a ring will go into the sand a such an angle that it is indiscernible going in one direction, you have to search at a right angle to the original direction to make the find. Just a little patience and determination is what it takes. It was about 8:00 PM when the recovery was made. So I got on the phone, and asked my wife to heat up our dinner, as I would be home soon. I am glad she is so understanding.

 

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search, Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Northridge, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, Zuma Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, Southern California, and Ventura County.

Lost Custom – Crafted Diamond Ring Recovered in Lebanon, Pennsylvania

  • from Harrisburg (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I received a frantic communication from a young lady that a ring had been lost and could I attempt to locate it.  Upon inquiry I found that it was either in a pasture lot, surrounded by a 4 strand electric fence, or outside the fence in a wooded area.

Upon arrival  I found that she had to crawl under the fence so that the ring might be on either side or that it had fallen out of a pocket while in the pasture.  I checked the wooded area very thoroughly without success.  I then crawled under the fence where luckily only strand 1 and 3 were active (I managed to get shocked anyway!).

After a few hours I got the signal I had been looking for and recovered the ring.  Upon handing it over, she was extremely happy as she thought it would not be located.  She and her future husband were so happy they have invited me back to just visit and/or to check other areas of the property for whatever might be buried.

His Grandfather’s Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost on Pine Knoll Shores Beach Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Quinn contacted Crystal Coast Ring finders just minutes after losing his grandfather’s wedding band. He later explained that he had worn the ring for a family member’s wedding, and upon returning to the beach, he went down to the water to pick up his son. As he lifted him, the ring slipped off and disappeared into the surf. After a few passes, I got a strong signal, and when I scooped up the sand, there it was—Quinn’s ring shining among the grains.
Years ago, when Quinn’s mother was still a child, his grandfather had to hide this very wedding band inside one of her toys before leaving Cuba. This ring carries an incredible history, and now its story can continue with even more cherished memories.

Wedding Ring Lost Doing Yard Work, Moorestown NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

I received a call from Jason regarding his lost wedding ring, which he believed had come off while doing yard work. Jason explained that he had been raking leaves, dumping them at the curb, and moving between his house, garage, and yard. In between, he had also been playing ball with his son. There was even a chance the ring could have fallen through the deck boards into the leaves below.

Jason was heading out for a long weekend, and with the township potentially vacuuming up the leaves, time was of the essence. I rearranged my schedule to meet him that afternoon. When I arrived, we had about 15 minutes before Jason had an hour-long client meeting, so we quickly reviewed his activities and the specific areas he had been in. He also informed me he borrowed a detector from a friend and had no luck. He also showed me the garage, where he had removed his gloves, and the backyard, where he had been playing with his son.

After gathering my equipment, I set my machine for shallow depth, as the ring wouldn’t be far beneath the surface. I started with the leaf piles at the curb, then made quick passes through the side and front yards, but had no luck. Moving to the backyard, where the most activity had taken place, I received a promising signal on my first pass.

I cleared a few leaves and some dirt to reveal Jason’s wedding ring, just under the surface. It appeared the ring had come off when he removed his catcher’s mitt and accidentally stepped on it, pushing it slightly into the ground.

I messaged Jason immediately, and he came down before his meeting. He was amazed that the ring had been found so quickly. I explained how careful detective work to narrow down the most likely spots was key to a successful recovery. Jason was ecstatic to have his ring back, especially before leaving for his trip.

Another successful recovery!

Loves Park Illinois, 14K Diamond ring Lost in Rock river, recovered

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Yesterday, September 14th, I received a call from a gentleman asking if I still metal detected for lost jewlery.  I told him, “I sure do!” He went on to tell me that he and his family were out boating on the Rock river near Loves Park and had stopped at one of the parks along the river. When they stopped Alli got out of the boat and was introducing their new puppy to the water. As she was holding the puppy above the water the little pup was still paddling in midair. When Alli went to pick him up he continued to keep paddling and managed to get one of his little toenails inside of Alli ring and pushed it right off of her slippery, wet finger, right into the shallow water along the shoreline. Luckily someone Googled “metal detecting service in Rockford Il” and found me here on TheRingFinders.com .

When I received the call I told them, not to dig anymore and that I’d be there in less than a hour. So I gathered my things and just before I pulled out of the driveway I received a text message from some people who were also there, and didn’t know that I’d already been in contact with them. I told them that I was on my way also. When I arrived I met Alli down by the water.  The first thing that I noticed was 2 big marks in the sand that were marking the area that the ring was lost in. Smart move! Next they told me that they actually caught the ring coming off of her finger on video! They showed me the video and with the video and the marks in the sand, I looked at her and said, “We’re gonna find this for sure”. I made one pass down the waters edge in about knee deep water with only a dime to show itself.  I turned back at their other mark in the sand and went up the beach a bit,  towards the bleachers, and as I got back to the mark on the other side I got a solid 8 on the Equinox 800. I grabbed my pinpointer and started checking handfuls of sand. On my 3rd handful I had the target in my hand. As I raised my hand out of the water I could see the edge of Alli’s ring in my hand!!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Contact:

Lost your Ring/Jewellery/Cell Phone/Keys… A Trusted Service Since 1987- Call ASAP Chris 778-838-3463   24/7 Service

I received a call in regards to a lost diamond earring in a park, after asking a few questions it sounded like we’d have success finding this as long as someone else didn’t beat us to it.

I blasted off to the location and met the ladies husband who showed me the precise area where she believed the earring had come off  due to her granddaughter accidentally pulling it off while she was holding her.

I did my first passover of the area with no success. I cross grid and still no success. The young man called his wife, I could hear him disappointed thinking it wasn’t there, but this is a very small item and you have to be patient. It took about 10 minutes and I found her beautiful diamond earring.

I understand Metal Detecting because I’ve been doing it for over 50 years. Miss it by an inch miss it by a mile, you gotta go low and slow, and you have to exhaust the area. It was so nice to see his smile and hear the story of what that earring meant to his wife. I love my job.

Heirloom 14K Gold Pendant Lost In Sand And Grass Area, In Arundel, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:
I received a message, from Chelsea, on Saturday evening, asking if I would be able to search for a lost necklace and pendant. I immediately called Chelsea back. Chelsea told me that her 13 year old daughter, Emma, had lost a Gold Necklace and Pendant, at a family birthday party. The birthday party was at Chelsea’s father’s property, in Arundel, Maine. Chelsea told me that there were many adults and children looking for the necklace and pendant but they just could’t find them, even though they knew the approximate area, the necklace and pendant were lost in. Chelsea even told me that the pendant had been found once and then Emma dropped it, only to disappear again, right at her feet, as she was standing there. With it now being just after 5:00pm and the sun setting before 7:00pm now, we made plans for me to arrive at Chelsea’s fathers house, at 8:00am, the next morning. Chelsea the sent me the address of her father’s house and his phone number. If I needed anything, I could contact her father, Leroy. With the gold pendant and necklace being on private property, the gold items would be safe overnight.
So early this Sunday morning, I arrived at Leroy’s property and Leroy was already outside, still searching for the necklace and pendant. When I introduced myself. Leroy told me that the necklace had been found and it was just the pendant, still missing. Leroy took me over to where Emma had been standing, when she dropped the pendant. I looked at the area and mentioned to Leroy that I would think the pendant would have been visible, after being dropped. Leroy agreed and told me the adults were astonished the pendant wasn’t visible in the very short grass and sand. We started talking about the pendant possibly being dropped in another area and Emma thought she was in this area. Leroy was absolutely sure that Emma had been standing, in this area, when she dropped the pendant. Leroy also conveyed that the previous evening, Emma had checked her clothing, thinking the pendant may have somehow landed in her pocket or shoes. No pendant was found. At this point, Emma’s father, Nate arrived and he also went through the entire turn of events and his and Leroy’s story was exactly the same. The pendant had to be in this area. I was then told that the previous evening, a rake was used, in searching for the pendant. Could the pendant have been moved, out of the area, by the rake? Could the pendant have covered up with the sand/loose gravel, by the rake? We shall find out. I told Nate and Leroy that I would grid search the area from near the vegetation, along the pond, to the driveway and repeat that process, until the area had been 100% searched. If I didn’t find it, in the area, I would start expanding the area of search.
The grid search line from the vegetation to the driveway, was maybe 20’. It wouldn’t take me long to cover the entire area. As I made my way towards the driveway, I received a few non ferrous targets that I knew wouldn’t be the pendant but I checked them with my pinpointer anyways, for due diligence sake and being thorough. All targets were in the ground and were not the pendant. As I turned and headed back towards the pond, same thing was happening. A few targets being checked out but the pendant was still missing. I then headed back towards the driveway and a few steps in, I heard the tone I had been hoping for. A loud, repeatable low tone, showing up a very solid 18, on the VDI Screen. This just had to be the pendant but when I looked down at the patchy grass and sand/loose gravel, there was nothing there. As the three of us were there looking at the ground, I grabbed my pinpointer and started searching the sand/loose gravel area and all of a sudden, I see a tiny piece of gold and then I saw the outline of a pendant. Emma’s pendant had been found. Leroy, Nate and myself marveled at how the gold pendant blended in with the sand/loose gravel and surrounding area. We also talked about how the pendant ended up, beneath the sand/loose gravel. Could the foot traffic in the area, while searching have covered it up? Could the raking have covered it up? It was very close to where Emma thought she had dropped the pendant but was just hiding, under the sand/loose soil.
Nate and Leroy then told me the story of the gold necklace and pendant. Chelsea had actually bought them, when she was around 16 years old, with her own hard earned money. As Emma always loved the necklace, Chelsea passed it down to Emma. Thankfully the necklace and pendant will now be back together, once the necklace is repaired. UnfortunatelY, I was not able to meet either Chelsea or Emma but Nate is going to make sure Emma gets her gold pendant back. As I was leaving, I saw the smiles on Leroy and Nate’s faces and although I could’t see my smile, as I walked to my vehicle, I also was wearing a large smile. Love my job!!! It’s the best job in the world.
