Alicia was enjoying a relaxing day at Disappearing Island with friends and as she was swimming she somehow felt her small gold ring come off of her pinky finger. She tried grabbing it as it fell thru the water but to her horror it vanished in the soft sand at her feet. She desperately tried feeling in the sand, running her fingers back and forth but her precious ring just seemed to disappear!

This small gold ring was very special to Alicia as it was a gift to her when she was 12 years old from her mother and she has worn that ring every day for the last 23 years, until now. The location where she lost the ring was on Disappearing Island at Ponce Inlet in north New Smyrna Beach. And it is a very popular place for the boaters to park and enjoy the calmer waters and especially at low tide. During high tide the island is quite small but during low tide there is plenty of area for boats to park and especially on weekends the island is lined with boats of all sizes.

I made plans to meet Alicia at the Smyrna Dunes Park and we each brought our own kayak and with my Whites TDI Beach Hunter metal detector, scoop and other essential gear we set out across the busy inlet water way. It took a bit of figuring as Alicia texted her friends and had them each send a pin on a google map photo of where they had anchored the boat and where they would have been swimming the day she lost her ring. Alicia was worried about me being able to find her lost ring but I assured her that if she could put me in the general area where she was swimming then there was a good chance of actually finding her lost ring. So we pulled our kayaks up onto the beach in the 95 degree heat and I set about my grid search going from the wet sand and out into the water and back again, dragging one foot to mark my trail so I could actually overlap each pass so as not to miss one inch of sand. (The day she lost her ring she was in waist deep water at high tide and today we were there just before low tide so my target area was the wet sand out to knee deep water.) After an hour and a half and only digging up bottle caps, pull tabs and other miscellaneous junk I was needing a water break and while talking to Alicia we determined I had gone far enough on the one end of the beach and now I needed to go in the other direction. Alicia was feeling a bit useless and asked me several times what she could do to help me in the search. She offered to cover each hole I dug and tried to assist in finding the hidden target after I would dig a scoop of sand and dump it on the ground. After a while I tried to encourage her that the best thing she could do was “Pray” as I assured her that God knew exactly where her ring was hiding and that He would just need to get me over the top of it with my coil for us to find it. It truly is a matter of inches, as Chris Turner always says, and finally there in ankle deep water I got a faint signal and as the sand drained out of my scoop I could see a small gold ring nestled in the bottom. I motioned for Alicia to come over and look at what I just found and I will never forget the look on her face! The joy and relief and happiness all mixed in with thankfulness!

Lost Men’s Wedding Ring – Nags Head – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from a gentleman who had found my name on theringfinders.com.  He said that he had lost his white gold wedding band when he stood up with it in his lap on Nags Head beach.  He said that he knew exactly where he had lost it.

When I arrive Mike took me to the beach as showed me an area where his chairs and canopy was.  He was sure that the ring had dropped ring there.  I took my MineLab Equinox 800 over the area a few times and got no hits.  This area of the beach was very clean!

I expanded the search area to include the sides and fronts of the chair/canopy area…still no targets.  His friend’s area was just north of his area so I did a quick search and got an immediate hit!!

I reached down and got the ring and Mike said, “Look at you!  I don’t know how it could have gotten there, but I am so happy!”

Rogue Wave Washes Rental Car Key Fob into the Sand .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found with Metal Detector

**** Brittany and her husband from Arkansas are visiting Newport Beach, CA. for the first time. Our west coast beaches are a little different from the east coast beaches. It was nearing peak high tide with large waves. While taking video photos of the larger waves, they got a surprise rogue wave that washed their towels and other belongings over the berm toward the parking lot. 

The rental car key fob was in her shoes. They found the shoes but the car key fob was missing. It was a bit difficult to understand where they were because they kept referring to the pier as a dock. I thought they might be on the bayside of the Newport Penensula. No big deal, it is common for tourists unfamiliar with our beaches to be confused about their location.

It was dark with good lighting from parking lot lights. Brittany believed the key fob was near she retrieved her shoes. I had to start at the beach side of berm, hoping if it had fallen out there it wouldn’t get pulled down into the surf line.

Ten minutes later I move to the area where the shoes had been found. A few swings of my detector revealed he lost rental car keys. Both Brittany and her husband were relieved that they were saved the trouble of dealing with getting a replacement for the key. Total time from the time they called till the key was found was less than 45 minutes.

White Gold Diamond Pendent Necklace Found Terwillegar Neighborhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

   

I received a text from Preena on Tuesday inquiring what I charged to find a diamond necklace lost in a back yard.  When I spoke with Preena, she informed me that her daughter was attending her graduation party in a friends back garden.  After asking Preena many questions I agreed to meet up with her the next day.

When I met Preena at the house and she showed me pictures of her daughter with and without the necklace on her!  Preena said that the had searched the back garden with out any luck, and I reassured Preena if the neckless was lost in the garden I would find it!

It took me over one hour to locate the necklace.  Preena was grateful to have the necklace back as the necklace was very sentimental to her.   It was gifted to her by her husband when her third child was born.  Preena had given the necklace to her eldest daughter on her graduation day.

Another happy Client.

Engagement Ring recovered in Sea Bright NJ by Dennis Burlingame

Contact:

I was already detecting on a beach when I got a call from Sabrina asking for help to locate her lost engagement ring. While enjoying the 4th of July on the beach she took off her wedding set to put on lotion and laid them on her lap and forgetting they were there stood up and they flew off disappearing into the sand. Digging around they managed to find her wedding band but not her engagement ring. They even went to the store and bought an inexpensive metal detector but that didn’t help as well. In the mean time her friend found me on Ring Finders and told her to call. Told her i’d be happy to come and help but it would take some time to get there with traffic and from where I was but that was alright. I met her and her husband on the beach and they were still in the area they were sitting and after a chat we figured an area where the ring might be. I boxed out the area and no sooner started to grid the area within maybe 6 swings of the detector I found her ring. With tears of JOY she couldn’t believe she had her beautiful ring back on her hand where it belongs. I’m glad I was able to save her holiday for her and her husband and they can enjoy the rest of it not worrying about her loss. Always a great feeling.

Man’s White Gold Wedding Band Lost and Found on Oak Island N.C.

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

Matt called me at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 3rd saying he had lost his wedding band around 4 p.m. A quick check of the tide tables and it showed he lost it right at the mid tide line. I asked him how deep he was and he told me that at low tide the ring should be in the wet sand. We worked out the details and I told him I’d be there the next morning at 10:30. Knowing that he seemed confident he knew where the ring slipped off his finger; my only concern was trying to find a place to park at the beach on the 4th of July.

When I got there, parking was non-existent, and I found a spot on the side of the road, hoping I wouldn’t get a ticket. I met Matt and his wife, Kim on the beach in the same area he had lost his ring the day before. Matt showed me the area and I started a parallel grid search along the slope to rule out the top of the beach. After 4 or 5 row, I changed to a perpendicular grid working from ankle deep to about thigh deep straight out from where Matt and Kim were sitting. My 4th trip out to deeper water, I got a solid 15/16 on the Equinox 800, telling me I had a ring. I wasn’t sure I had Matt’s ring because he had originally told me his ring was platinum. So I was looking for a lower number somewhere from 3-7 on the 800. After some consideration of the description Matt gave me. Plus, the likelihood of two men’s wedding bands lost on this portion of the beach, I was confident I had Matt’s ring. Sure enough, as I’m asking him what his ring looked like, he described it to a tee. I asked him if was platinum, and after looking and seeing the 14K stamp, he conceded it wasn’t platinum. Made me feel better and confirmed the numbers on the machine.

Matt and Kim, thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Have a great weekend and a safe trip home.

Jim

**** This is just a basic summertime ring recovery. Steve’s ring was lost in dry sand at the most populated part of the Newport Beach,CA. He was certain it fell out of his backpack where he had set at the towel line. (top of beach nearest the water)

We usually can have a successful recovery if I can get to search the first day. The next morning the city beach cleaning machine will most likely get it. Newport Beach uses the state of the art sifting machine “The Beach King” everyday in the summer.

It is only a couple miles drive for me. I met Steven who told me he was  vacationing from out of state and would be returning to his home tomorrow. The Tungsten wedding band was found about five feet outside the search area approximately 3 inches deep. Big smile on Steven’s face. 

I’m including a clip of our Newport Beach cleaning machine “The Beach King” it gets items as small as a dime.

**** Jennifer was given a set of custom diamond stud ear rings by her parents, celebrating her graduation from law school. Each of the ear rings consists two pieces and a backing. One piece is called a jacket which the diamond stud is inserted.

Jennifer had been in the back yard of her Huntington Beach, CA. home hold her son when she realized her earring was missing. The backing was still on her ear. Women know that these backings sometimes stay on their ears after losing the earring.

Both her husband and Jennifer checked the grass small grass area where she discovered her earring missing. Her husband decided that he could remove some of the undesirable grass while doing the search. She knew there was a possibility that the earring could have hung up on her son’s clothing or her hair. So they also searched places around the patio and in the house before calling me for help. 

When I arrived Jennifer’s brother was walking to his car with a metal detector. He was totally upset with the detector realizing he didn’t understand how to operate it.

I have invested in a detector with high frequency settings that is very efficient for finding small stud earrings which have very little metal settings. Most detectorists know how difficult stud earrings can be to locate with a detector. Also most pinpointers can’t hit on a white gold stud earrings. Many times these stud are found by eye after finding the backing.

I started my search on the grass and soon found the larger jacket piece of the earring but the stud was not found. ( I placed a marker right away) . I couldn’t get another signal. Then went to the trash can to detect through the pieces of grass removed from the area. Lastly I removed four non ferrous screws from that 5’x 5’ grass area. Using two other detectors the stud was not detectable. 

Before leaving I gave Jennifer a exclamation of how difficult it is to find a stud. I could not tell her it was not in the same location I found the larger piece (jacket). I actually told her it might be findable by eye but could be just seeing the stud not the diamond. It was hard to walk away. 

The next day Jennifer called another detectorist. Who also had a high frequency detector with could get signals off the other stud earring. He was unable to find the diamond stud.

Here’s the miracle. The next day after being totally frustrated and confined to her house because of Covid. Jennifer went to the area I marked after finding the jacket. Using a kitchen fork and began to move some of the damp soil around the grass. She found the small stud 6” from the marker. When she texted me she said all she saw was a glimmer of silver color (white gold). She thanked me for finding the first piece that gave them the best possible location to search.

I know the limitations of my equipment and there is always the possibility that small metals can be masked by larger pieces of metal.

I think this stud was most likely laying in an odd angle, maybe with the diamond downward?

Happy to know Jennifer has her very sentimental set of earrings.

Lost Ring in Huntingdon PA… Found!

  • from Altoona (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Rick who said he lost a wedding band while Kayaking in the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The ring was a family heirloom and was inscribed with the date of his grandmother’s wedding. Hunts like these are particularly motivating to me because of the sentimental value of the ring. Like Rick said, it’s not about the monetary value.  The real value is in the significance it has to his family and he would like to pass it down to his kids. The only problem was the size of the search area.

Rick didn’t know where the ring came off of his finger but he remembered three spots where his kayak got hung up on the rocks and he thought he might have lost it at one of those spots. He provided Julie and I with kayaks and the three of us loaded up gear and headed to the most likely spot where the current picked up a bit after dropping down a ledge. On the way there, I got to know Rick a bit and how he fished the river as a kid and takes his family there now. The river is a special place for him and I thought it would be a shame if his lost ring would tarnish that. When we got to the spot, we beached the kayaks and stumbled over the slippery rocks to the search area. After about 15 minutes of searching, I got a good signal and I went in with a snorkel and pinpointer and pulled out the ring. We were so excited and amazed to find the ring with such a large area to cover. Rick was such a nice guy and I was glad to be able to preserve the good memories the river holds for him.
