Chatham Beach, MA Sentimental Ring Found and Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 22, 2025 A family heirloom ring was resting peacefully on Zoe’s towel until it was time for her to pick up the towel and go. Then it happened, the ring slipped silently from the towel into the sand. As it happens 90% of the time a search on the area with one’s hands the results are not as one would wish for. In hope for help J&E Enterprise was contacted and Eleanor, the owner, recommended the one person who could help, me.

I received the relayed call for help as I was gearing up to search for a lost wedding band and told Zoe that I would come to search for her ring around 7PM. Well after a three hour search with two other detectorists with no success in finding the lost man’s band. I took Leighton and Jim, the other two detectorists, back to Yarmouth and I headed east to Chatham.

On the way to Chatham Zoe texted me precise location of her loss of her ring. I arrived at the beach, found the two “Private Beach” signs, and the water drain. Following Zoe’s instructions I moved four feet from the drain and started to swing my detector. On the third swing, in less than 5 seconds I had my first and only signal that I needed, it was the ring. I took the ring back to the car, called Zoe and was given the address and restaurant name where she was with others having dinner.

Well, downtown Chatham was jammed up like the bridges onto Cape Cod on the 4th of July. I saw the girl in the blue dress (Zoe) outside the restaurant, pulled into a one car wide driveway and with half my van still in the roadway and a car coming at me, I stopped. Zoe and I did a quick exchange of the ring and thank yous. I took a second to snap a picture before trying to back out into the roadway which was barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other. I made it and was on my way home as the sun set. Zoe was heading back to her dinner feeling much better and happier that she had her very sentimental ring back on her finger. Now the sun was just about beneath the horizon the start of a wonderful evening for all.

50th Anniversary Ring Found! – Lake Butte des Morts, Oshkosh, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Eight years ago, Oshkosh, Wisconsin residents Dick and Judy Berger, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They marked the occasion by acquiring matching, white-gold wedding rings, paved with 5 diamonds, one for each decade together. But on July 16th, 2025, Dick’s ring slipped off his hand while swimming in Lake Butte des Morts, behind their picturesque lakefront home. He didn’t realize it was missing until he climbed out of the water.

Despite the search efforts of friends and family, the ring could not be found. That’s when the Berger’s daughter located me on The Ring Finder’s directory of metal-detecting specialists.

I received a call from Dick the following Monday and made arrangements to meet him on location that same afternoon. It was an hour and half drive from my home in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Dick was keen to accompany me in the waist-deep water. He assisted by repositioning my specially-designed marker buoys as I searched. These served as vital reference points for an accurate grid search of the lake bottom.

The search was made even more challenging by the presence of aquatic plants. These wrapped themselves around the detector’s search coil, impeding my ability to sweep consistently. I had to stop often to remove the plants from my coil.

Almost immediately a non-ferrous (other than iron) signal invited further investigation. To my surprise, the target was another gentleman’s wedding ring, one made of rose gold. Clearly, it was not the ring we were searching for. Dick’s ring was white-gold. Someone else had recently lost their wedding ring just off the Berger’s boat dock. The ring’s owner remains a mystery. I left it with the Berger family in hopes they might locate the person who lost it.

About 45 minutes later, not far from a swimming raft anchored off shore, I heard another promising signal. The conductivity numbers on my XP Deus ll controller, along with the audible tone, made me believe the target had to be Dick’s ring. Indeed, Dick’s ring soon lay gleaming in my scoop! And the contented smiles on Dick and Judy’s faces tell the rest of the story.

Dick and Judy, may you enjoy many, many more years together there in your beautiful Oshkosh home!

If you or someone you know has lost a jewelry item in water or on land, even long ago, chances are it can still be found. Give me a call. I would love to add your smile to our book of smiles.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Utica Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Down the Rabbit Hole…..

…… began with Joe’s new yard project. The gravel he ordered after he tore up some grass didn’t show up and throughout the day tools went missing and machinery malfunctioned. To escalate matters his wedding ring fell off his finger and he didn’t know where in the yard it was. I did a grid search with my MXT metal detector where he said he was working but nothing came up. Going out further from the house I got a good signal in the wet grass and as I moved around it my foot slipped into a slight dip in the ground almost twisting my ankle. Reaching into the dip in the ground my pin pointer metal detector went off. Parting the grass back revealed Joe’s ring! His back was turned to me but as I yelled to him, he came running over and said that he had filled the rabbit hole in a while ago after the bunny’s left and said it must have settled leaving a small divot. Super Happy to be Out of the Rabbit Hole, Joe took a nice long look at his ring realizing that even tho this journey down the rabbit hole was over, he now had a deeper understanding of what’s important and that the rabbit hole is only as deep as you make it!

Lost Gold & Diamonds Sentimental Ring at Magic island Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text at work asking if I could find a ring at the waters edge at Magic Island beach.  I called the number and AJ from the San Francisco area and on vacation on Oahu answered.  I told him I would leave work early and head over since it wasn’t in deep water.  In fact, it was supposed to be ankle deep.  As I was enroute I got a call from our fellow ring finder Kai saying he was on the freeway as AJ had called him too.  Kai was kind enough to give the hunt to me as I was near the access to Magic Island.  When I arrived I met AJ on the beach and he showed me where in the water the ring should be.  I hunted and expanded the grid search out in every direction.  No ring.  I had to leave for a PT session for my shoulder and told AJ I’d see about coming back or getting someone else.  My PT session went rather quickly so when I finished I went back to rehunt and expand the grid further.  I went out further and up the slope into the dry sand.  It paid off.  Up in the dry sand I got a booming #49 on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was AJ’s sentimental ring from his Father in the scoop.  I called AJ and he was at the Hilton Hawaiian Village pool next beach over so he decided to walk over and retrieve the special ring.  A few hugs and handshakes later AJ said his vacation was now saved.  Aloha to AJ!

Lost Rolex Watch in Whistler BC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your Rolex Watch or any Jewelry/Cell Phone/Car Keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7  Chris-778-838-3463

I get a call from a young man who told me he lost a very important watch, right away my thought was Rolex.  I was only partially right it was a Rolex but what made it so important was it was a gift from his late grandfather. He told me it was lost in the lake up to his chin in water. He said he knew exactly where it fell in so I felt I was in good shape to go out and hopefully find this but one doesn’t know until they get there and see the conditions.

When I arrive to the lake in Whistler, William showed me where the watch fell into the water. One thing for sure the water was very cold as this was a glacier fed lake and it was cold, but it was a nice day and I was up for the challenge. When I got into the water, the rocks were big and awkward making this a very difficult search because I wouldn’t be able to scoop up the watch, also the water had zero visibility so it would make it very difficult to dive down and find it.

I began my search, got up to my chin in water hanging onto the dock. I was able to stretch my detector out to deeper water and get a signal. Fortunately, there wasn’t many signals in this area so I was confident this was his Rolex watch. I spent four hours in that water, I also found a leech on my arm not to say it was very cold. I started cramping up near the end, but I wasn’t gonna give up easy.

We built a bit of a ramp for me with some bigger rocks, so I could stand there and get leverage to try to scoop the watch out of the area, but it was too difficult with the rocks. I then thought of getting a big stump sticking it in the water very close to where I was getting the signal and have William dive down with my Metal Detector pin pointer as I thought this would be the only chance he’d  have in retrieving his watch. He was all for it because earlier that day somebody came up and asked if you were looking for a Rolex… the word had gotten out and more people knew about his watch and that was frightening for him, as you could imagine.

William brave the water and within 15 minutes came up with the watch in his hand. He didn’t even know until I let out a scream!  I was so excited for him to get that beautiful watch back where it belonged. I love my job!

Lost Ring in Pitt Lake…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your wedding ring or any jewelry/cell phone/car keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7  Chris-778-838-3463

I got a call from a young man who told me that his wife had lost her diamond engagement ring in Pitt Lake. He went on to tell me that we would have to kayak to the location, this would be a first for me as I’ve never been in a kayak before, but I’m always up for an adventure. I met Rob he showed me how to use the kayak and he told me he could get me to the location where the ring was lost. We kayak for about 25 minutes across the lake to the spot and when I saw the spot I was in shock. How in the world would be able to get me even close to where the Ring was lost because it was over 200 yards from shore.

Robert assured me he could get me close because he had marked two locations, a side location where there was a stump and a tree growing out of it about 200 yards offshore and 100 yards away from where he believed the ring was, he use that as a side marker and he focussed on a front marker close to shore, which was a log sticking out of the mud.

Talk about a needle in a haystack, we marched out at low tide at this lake and close to 200 yards out we were only waste deep in water, he told me where to look and put two markers down for me, within 30 minutes if you can believe it, I found his wife’s beautiful diamond engagement ring.

This will always remain a shocker to me. I have done so many different types of searches over the years and this one should’ve been impossible. The fact that Rob was so good at marking the location it saved his wife’s ring from forever being lost in this lake. I enjoyed the kayak ride! Who knows what I’ll do next maybe a hot air balloon to the next location lol

I love my job!

Contact:

Lost your wedding ring or any jewelry/cell phone/car keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7  Chris-778-838-3463

I received a text message in regards to a Lost Ring at a beach in Richmond and if I would be able to help. Of course I called right away and discussed the search to get more details. I was informed the ring was lost three days before and that she actually lost two rings and came back the next day and with her nephew and his Metal Detector they were able to locate the wedding band. I think that’s absolutely incredible the young man found the wedding band, I’ve known quite a few clients that had bought or rented metal detectors and spent day searching with no luck and I come in and find it in minutes. A big shout out to the young ladies nephew who came in and found one of the two rings… Well done young man.!!!

I was also informed that the Park Ranger had a Metal Detector and tried finding it for her, but could not locate the engagement ring. Is a matter of fact he sent over a link to my website and said you might wanna call this man shout out to the park Ranger thank you for the plug, much appreciated.

I showed up the young lady showed me the area where her nephew found the wedding band. It took me five minutes to find her beautiful diamond engagement ring. She was very happy to say the least as was I that nobody else had found it before me. I love my job.!!

Cape May NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

LOST A RING? CALL JOHN NOW! 215-850-0188

If you’ve ever spent a day on the beach in Cape May, NJ, you know how easy it is to lose track of small items in the soft sand. That’s exactly what happened to Courtney and her husband during a sunny afternoon by the ocean. While applying sunscreen, he slipped off his wedding band for just a moment. Unfortunately, the ring went into a pocket that had a small hole, and before they knew it, his wedding band had vanished into the sand.

After searching on their own with no success, Courtney reached out to me through Ring Finders South Jersey, hoping I could help. As a ring finder, I know how quickly jewelry can sink below the surface and how stressful it feels to lose something so sentimental.

I grabbed my equipment and headed straight to the Cape May beach where they had been sitting. Her husband carefully showed me the area where he thought the band might have fallen. I fired up my metal detector and started scanning the sand. Within minutes, I got a strong signal. A quick dig and there it was—his lost wedding band sitting just inches beneath the surface!

The relief and happiness on their faces was unforgettable. Finding a lost engagement ring or a wedding band and returning it to its owner is one of the best parts of what I do. Every recovery is special because I know how much these pieces mean to people.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation—whether it’s a lost engagement ring in the dunes, a lost wedding band,  or any other piece of jewelry misplaced in the sand don’t panic. I cover Cape May, Wildwood, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Sea Isle City, Ocean City, and the entire South Jersey shore.
