Lost Ring in Backyard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by Jessica to find her husband’s ring he had lost in the backyard while throwing balls for his dog. Along the way they had borowwed a metal detector to look for it themselves, but they didn’t know how to use it, so they hid her ring in the grass to test it out and see what it sounded like, and that’s where it got more complicated. The detector and their ears were overloaded with all the metal in the ground they didn’t know was there. Then they couldn’t find her ring either. That’s when she contacted me.  They had marked out a spot where she thought her ring would be, and it was a fairly small area, maybe six feet by four feet. I covered that area quickly and no ring, so I expanded the search area to beyond where she had marked out.  I had made one pass, turned around to parallel my path and I was facing the sun. After two steps I caught a relection in the grass of something silver colored before my coil passed over it. It was her ring. The entire search for her ring was less than ten minutes. While I was talking with her and taking a couple of photos the sun was directly in my eyes so I shifted position a little.  When she was looking at me I noticed she had fixed her attention to somewhere over my right shoulder. She said hold on a minute, and took off to the side of the yard and came back with his ring. If my memory serves me correctly it was dark colored, titanium maybe.  From the position we were standing she happened to see it laying on the ground in a clear area that was free of grass. So both rings were recovered in around fifteen minutes.

Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.

Rogue Strong Wave Results In Lost Wedding Rings And Found Later With Determined Effort

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

Diane messaged me that she was frolicking near their North Topsail beach rental when a large wave came and knocked her over. As her hands plunged into the sandy bottom, her loose wedding rings slipped off. She didn’t realize they were gone until she returned to the beach house. I started my search in the rolling waves just before low tide after asking a few questions. Sadly, the rings remained unfound on this initial try. Diane attempted to show me a photo taken by someone in her group right after her fall, but the glare and my poor vision made it impossible to see on her phone. I requested the photos be sent to me, and upon reviewing them on my laptop, I understood I had been searching too far out; the tides suggested she must have been nearer to the dry sand.

On my second attempt, I spent over two hours conducting a North-South and East-West grid search in the wet sand around low tide. My arms ached from the effort as I expanded the search zone. At last, a bit beyond my previous search area, I discovered the beautiful ring hidden under the wet sand, a spot that would have been submerged most of the time. I called Diane over, and her relief was palpable, especially since they were set to leave the next day and had begun packing.

I got a call from Britany yesterday where she explained that her husband had inadvertantly lost his wedding ring while participating at a surf contest at Leo Carrillo State beach in Malibu. The event was the Northern LA Boardriders October surf event. 

After finishing his set her husband came back in and forgot he had placed his wedding ring inside his wetsuit for safekeeping and when he took it off the ring came out and went lost into the dry sand. They knew the general area so finding it wasn’t going to be an issue for a metal detector expert so within a minute or two the lost ring was returned to it’s rightful owner and all was well at the beach.

Lost Texas A&M “Aggie” Class Ring…Found and Returned Four Years Later!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

“It’s Only Lost Until I Find It!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

My wife and I recently spent a week in Texas with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons. Part of the trip was a three day beach stay in Port Aransas along with other family members on both sides including our son and his wife. Of course, any opportunity I have to do detecting on a beach I try to take advantage of it so I carried along my Minelab Equinox 900 with me.

While detecting on the beach at Port Aransas the first day, my finds had been a handful of coins, a bling ring, a bling earring and an assortment of pull tabs. After a few hours of this, I was about a half mile north of the property where we were staying when I swung my detector over a target in the wet sand about four inches down on mid tide. The number on the display and the tone in my headphones gave me indications that the target was probably a beer cap but when I scooped it out of the wet sand I was pleasantly surprised to find what appeared to be a small gold class ring! After a quick wash of the ring in the salty water, I could see that I had found a Texas A&M class ring from 2021 and the full name of the owner was inscribed inside! For those of you who don’t know how important the achievement of a class ring is to an Aggie grad, you can find out more by searching “Aggie Ring Tradition” and the “Aggie Network”. To say it’s a big deal is a huge understatement.

I returned to where we were staying and began my research. I found two people on Facebook who had the same first and last names as what was inscribed in the ring and who lived in that part of Texas but only one of the two had graduated in 2021. I reached out to her through Facebook messenger (her first name is Amber) but I did not receive a response. The next morning, I decided to post the find on a Facebook page called “Aggie Ring Lost and Found” and it wasn’t long before some of Amber’s family and friends let her know that her ring had been found! Amber then responded to me and of course was shocked that I had found it because she lost it while playing beach volleyball about four years before and had only had it about four months. She had given it up for lost and had purchased a replacement ring. I told her that I was surprised it was still there because of how many people metal detect on beaches now. Amber asked me if I could return the ring to her brother Matthew who was in College Station for his last semester at Texas A&M when my family returned from our stay at Port Aransas and I promised her that I would. The day after our family returned to College Station from Port Aransas, I met Amber’s brother Matthew and returned the ring to him so he could deliver it to Amber who was living and working in San Antonio.

Amber, I was so happy that I could return your precious Aggie ring to you!

Wedding Ring lost in the sand, Surf City NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, the perfect opportunity for Lisa and her friends to enjoy some time at the beach. What they didn’t plan for, however, was losing her rings in the soft, sugar-like sand so typical of these beaches. After searching for a while with no luck, someone in the group suggested calling NJ Ring Finder for help. Having heard about many successful recoveries on Long Beach Island and nearby areas, they were hopeful it wouldn’t be a wasted call.

Once I got the call, we arranged to meet shortly after. As I walked down the dune path towards the beach, I saw the group gathered in a large circle around their chairs, securing the area where the rings were lost. After a quick conversation to get the details, I got to work, carefully moving my metal detector’s coil back and forth across the sand.

Within just a few passes, the detector gave off a low, steady tone. I had a strong feeling this was it, and sure enough, BINGO—it was her ring! Everyone was amazed at how quickly the recovery happened.

Another successful search in the books. I love this job—saving vacations and creating lasting memories!

Daughter’s Lost Necklace Found Days Later – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:
An official from Emerald Isle spotted a young girl combing through the sand, who shared that she had lost her necklace and appeared quite distressed about it. Later, the same official saw me metal detecting further down the beach and informed me about the lost necklace belonging to Anna’s daughter. I reached out to Anna and conducted a search the following day. Regrettably, a large group had set up right where I needed to search. I did my best to search the surrounding area without intruding on their space, but the necklace remained elusive that day.
A few days later, I arranged to meet my friend Carl in the same vicinity. He had already been scouring the beach by the time I got there. As I began a grid search above his location, I mentioned the lost necklace to him. To our astonishment, he produced Anna’s daughter’s necklace from his finds pouch! Having trustworthy friends is truly invaluable. The Kendra Scott necklace might not have been expensive, but it clearly held significant sentimental value for Anna’s daughter.

Lost Wedding Ring recovered in the sand at Solimar beach Ventura

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

If you have lost your ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet in the sand, the water, the yard or field don’t wait call or text Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties Ringfinder Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so he can make a plan to get your lost Jewelry back!

I got a call from Bryn the other night asking if I could help him locate his wedding ring. He and his wife Camille had spent the day enjoying the sun and the sand at Solimar Beach in Ventura when upon arrival home he realized his ring was gone. He knew where he had been sitting but had made a few trips around the area so he wasn’t sure where he had lost it or even if he had lost it at the beach.

The area he lost it isn’t frequented by too many detectorists so I thought if it was lost there we had a real good chance of recovering it. When I got out there I was able to get near where they were sitting and I began to grid the area. After a pass or two I got a nice tone and and a reading of 54-55 on my Minelab manticore and put my CKG titanium scoop into the sand and started to shake it out and you could tell it was something big in the scoop. Normally 55 is a lousy zinc penny but in this case it was a men’s 18k gold hammered wedding ring, one of the most beautiful rings I’ve recovered in a while. I thanked God for the recovery and gave Bryn a call to let him know I had got his ring back. Needless to say, both Bryn and Camille were extremely happy and we made arrangements to meet so I could get it back to him.

If you have lost your ring, bracelet, necklace or pendant don’t delay and call or text Metal Detecting expert Dave at 805-290-5009. I’m available 24/7 and my only goal is to get back to you what you lost. I’m willing to try anywhere I think we have a chance to make the recovery so call or text 805-290-5009 right away so we can make a plan to get your jewelry back.

I was contacted by Cody and Rebecca after Cody’s wedding ring was lost at the beach. He had taken it of to secure it in their bag when he went into the water. What happened was the bag was moved before the ring was retrieved, and when Cody went to put it back on it was gone, supposedly in the sand somewhere. I had just finished another search, and was immediately available, letting them know I would be there in a short amount of time.

When I got there I met Cody and Rebecca down on the sand where they had been sitting. They told me that they had left earlier, but were able to secure the same spot when they returned. They also said that they had searched with friends for a considerable amount of time to no avail. I began my search, but before I did I placed a nickle on the sand and went over it with my detector; no signal. The amount of iron in the sand was canceling out anything else, so I had to make adjustments in my detector in order to be able to use it in this environment. I then began to search, and within 10 minutes I had Cody’s ring. He and Rebecca were thrilled to see it again, and congratulated me on the recovery. It also always makes my day to be able to hand what once was thought lost forever back to the rightful owner.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible!

Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost In Emerald Isle Waters Found Weeks Later

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

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS – EMERALD ISLE, NC

Anna was walking in the shallow water with her son when a large wave knocked her son off his feet. When Anna grabbed him, her wedding band came off. The gold ring was given to Anna’s mother by her father’s great aunt, and Anna had worn it for five years in place of her own wedding rings. I began my first search for Anna’s ring one week after she lost it. Unfortunately, the sand had shifted, and I found very little metal that first hunt. The sand along the water’s edge stayed soft and deep, only giving up very light metals. My fourth search was three weeks later. I was also searching for a special bangle that was lost further out. As I was working along the shoreline, I received a very strong signal. As I moved the sea shells out of my sand scoop, I noticed Anna’s gold ring! I immediately left the water for the dry sand and inspected the ring that was a match to Anna’s description of the inscription. I sent her a few photos minutes later. Anna told me on the first attempt she had confidence in me finding her heirloom ring, and the fourth attempt she was correct! Thank you, Anna, for your trust, and it was a pleasure meeting you and your family.
