Lost Ring in Rental Car near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho….Found!!
The thought to remove one’s ring before doing an activity may very well save the rings from being lost. However, for Linda the act of taking off her rings was what led to the disappearance for her wedding ring. While traveling in their rental car to their next destination, Linda decided to put on some sunscreen. The car her husband was driving had a large console in the middle of the car. On the console was a sliding door with a lip around the outside. A very nice resting place for her two wedding rings. Although the lip around the door was sufficient, the inertia caused by a right-hand turn sent the two rings flying. The large engagement ring stayed on the door, but the smaller thinner band had a mind of its own.
The car made it to its destination, Linda and Jeffery her husband, nonchalantly began to look for the lost ring. It must be on the floorboard they thought. So, under the floor mat they looked. They also looked under the seat and on the side of the seat. Their mood changed dramatically, a lost and hopeless wave covered over their minds. The family they were with, began to help the search. Linda’s lost ring was lost for good.
Lost for good, is where the search for The Ring Finders begins.
I was out with my family when a text message showed up. Linda wanted my help with the ring in the car. The time that the car had to be returned put a rush on me getting to the rental car. With all of my lost jewelry searches I bring as much gear that I can to help me with the task. For Lindas search, I had my two stream lights, a tool called a stick, a borescope, and a no quit attitude. Every step I take on a car search is to eliminate each and every hiding spot. After searching front to back and top to bottom, I got my borescope and began looking into the cracks of the car. On the last pass of the passenger side seat, I was able to look into the console to see the void that was under the sliding door. In the far-left corner, I saw the perfect shape of a ring. The further I moved toward the ring revealed the diamonds around the edge of the ring.
Leaping with excitement inside myself, I tried to calmly say that “I found the ring”. I knew the really tough part of this search had just begun. Extracting the ring from the car would ultimately cause the ring to fall deeper into the subfloor. At which point the Ford mechanics had to step in. Two techs had to take the car apart enough to lift the console up. With the pictures Linda had taken, the men knew where to look for the ring and were successful in retrieving it.
This search took many hands to complete the mission, and I truly feel that all Ring Finders are superheroes, but even Batman had Robin.

Vancouver, Metal Detector Guy
lost your Ring/keys/cell phones don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service Chris 778-838-3463
I received a call late last night around 10:45 PM from a young man who said his brother-in-law lost his wedding band and they were devastated. He asked if I could come out right away to help, but unfortunately, Vancouver has their celebration of light fireworks display attracts hundreds of thousands of people and they called right when it ended.
There was no chance I was going to be able to drive to the city to get to that beach so I decided to drive around the city. It only took approximately 40 minutes and I was there meeting the young man and his family and friends.
It turned out to be a pretty big area because they weren’t 100% sure where the rain came off they were playing football and volleyball. I had to start my grid search in two directions north south east west and within 2 1/2 hours I found that beautiful ring.!!! I get just as happy to people who have lost it to see that in my sand scoop. I was able to surprise everybody, the reactions were priceless. I love my job.!

I received a phone call from a young lady who said she lost two rings, not quite 100% sure exactly where but they did find one Ring where she was wrestling with her little two-year-old son, her five year-old son found the ring beside the stroller. amazing another good Treasure Hunter.!
This sounded like it was going to be a long walk but my first thought was let’s start where they found the first ring. The young lady got me to the area stopped and said this is the area where my son found the first ring I’d look down and pull up the second ring, amazingly. This was just a matter of seconds after we landed in the area where she believed they found the first ring, she said that she walked that area four times with different people looking on the side of the tarmac and on the tarmac. It’s amazing how these little rings can hide so easily. This makes up for the Rolex watch that I spent four hours in freezing cold water searching for. I love my job!
Wedding band found in Berwyn
The gentleman, who preferred to stay anonymous, gave me a call last week as he had lost his wedding band! He had hosted his daughters birthday party in their backyard and between buckets of ice, setting up the outdoor projection movie theater for the kids, and all the clean up, he had a few ideas where it could be but had not had any luck. I came by the following afternoon and started by walking the property with him and trying to get an idea for where it might be, then he left me to work and less than an hour later I was able to locate it. The ring had slipped off near where he had been dumping the coolers out! I was glad to have made this recovery and reunited this special wedding band with the owner.
Covelle’s Beach, Craigville, MA Diamond Wedding Band Found and Returned by Richard Browne
July 25, 2025 Richard was following guidelines for applying sunscreen while sitting in his chair and watching the waves come onto shore. And then it happened, he stood up and his wedding band slipped from the safety of his rolled up shirt, down it went and buried itself into the soft sand. Richard was lucky in the fact that he just happened to be on a beach that TheRingFinders are well known about and they gave him my contact information.
His daughter called as I was finishing lunch and hung up before getting my secondary phone number. So she called back and I was at the phone and answered. In a minute I had the information I needed to get to the beach and start a search. At the beach I met Richard and we walked to the area marked with a towel. On the seventh swing I heard what I was listening for. My first scoop of sand had the same result as did many hands-full of sand had, nothing found. Next shallow sweep a bit to the right and then the well loved sound of a ring bouncing in my scoop was unmistakable. I had Richard’s wife hold my scoop, and Richard remove the ring as I took a couple of pictures for the Book of Smiles.
Just then we watched as a junior metal detectorist swung bye. In his case his metal detector was OK for the dry sand, but would fall short of finding a target in the wet saltwater mineralized sand. His young expertise could have helped a couple of hours ago. I gave him a thumbs up as he happily swung on bye.
A few short stories and an explanation of TheRingFinders and we parted ways, I left heading to my car and awaiting wife. Richard on his was to thank the lifeguards that had given him my information and tell them that the ring was found and on his hand, not to be lost at the beach again. Just before the ring slipped under the sand Richard’s wife had just finished explaining why she did not remove her rings when applying the sunscreen protection. Lessons learned: 1) Protect your ring by putting it in a plastic, zip lock bag if and when removed when at the beach, 2) leave you precious jewelry at home and wear an inexpensive piece to the beach…no one there will know the difference, except for a metal detectorist such as myself when you loose it and it is found, or 3) Keep TheRingFinders.com card photo on your cellphone, just in case.
