LOST WEDDING BAND HONEYMOON ISLAND, Fl. …FOUND!!

STEVE THOMAS  DUNEDIN RING FINDER    LOST A RING OR OTHER METAL VALUABLE?   CALL ME ASAP ANYTIME (843)  995–4719
10 MINUTES FROM HONEYMOON ISLAND

 

 

Last Friday I was enjoying some beach time with family including our daughter who was visiting from Texas. It had been several days since Tropical Storm Eta had passed and the beaches had unfortunately lost a lot of sand, making for some good detecting. I had the usual questions from people I passed nearby including “find anything today?” and “what’s the most interesting thing you have found?” As I walked out towards the jetty to see if my son had caught any fish, I noticed a lady who was sitting in the edge of the water. As I got closer, I thought I heard the lady talking to herself but then I realized that she was speaking to me. The lady, who later introduced herself as Vilma, asked me if I helped people search for lost jewelry on the beach. I told her of course about what I did as a Ring Finder and asked her what she had lost. Vilma sadly explained to me that about two months ago she was on this same beach with her family including her recently wedded son Oscar. Oscar lost his white gold wedding band while helping a another family with their umbrella after the wind suddenly kicked up. Vilma’s family had searched several times for the ring but had not used a metal detector or service. Vilma had promised Oscar that she would somehow find the ring and she had prayed for God’s help.

I asked Vilma to show me the area where the ring was lost and she led me to a location no more than 200 feet away but close to the current dune area and a beach access. Vilma was very certain that this was where Oscar lost his ring but significant beach erosion had occurred from the storm. I began sweeping a grid area maybe 20 feet wide and 100 or so feet from the dune line towards the water. The area was somewhat rocky due to the storm removing several feet of sand. I reached the water, turned around and was headed back towards the dune line when I happened to run into Chip, the person who assisted with my last ring search several days before with his Garrett. He wished me luck and continued to move north up the beach. I continued my sweep toward the dune line and within 15 feet or so of the dune, my Equinox 600 registered a 11-12 target about 4” down. I know from previous experience that 11-12 could be a pull tab and a 13 could be either a bottle cap or a nickel but I had found gold in this range so I dug into the somewhat rocky sand. Incredibly, I uncovered the ring, held it up to Vilma, and said “is this what you are looking for?” She stared at the ring for a moment and then let out a scream of joy that could be heard by everyone reasonably close. Vilma ran to me, hugged my neck and wouldn’t let go. So much for social distancing, lol!! After many “thank yous” to me and to God, Vilma left the beach trying to figure out the best way to surprise Oscar with his ring. Afterwards, I actually had to explain to several groups of people who I had already spoken to about what I do as a Ring Finder that finding Vilma’s ring was not a set up because there is no fee for my services, only an optional reward!! I am convinced that God used me to answer Vilma’s prayers that day. I love my retirement job!

I got a call from Roman about a lost ring. He and his wife had been at the beach the night before, and when they were ready to leave his wife Evelin realized her engagement ring was missing. It was dark, and very hard to see as they searched for it. They were unsuccessful in their search, and called me the next day. From what they told me, it seemed as though the county beach cleaning machines had not come through this day, so I felt there was a good chance of a recovery. They told me they would not be able to meet me, but provided a Google Earth shot showing where the loss occurred, and I let them know I was going immediately.

When I got to the area, I lined myself up with the landmarks, and began my search, only to look up as I was being hailed by a young couple waking towards me, “Are you Steve?” I let them know that I was, and Roman and Evelin let me know they were able to work it out for them to come to let me know where to look. It was a good thing, as I was off by about 4o feet. I began my search where Evelin thought she might have lost the ring by shaking sand off their gear. She also showed me another possible area to search, which I would get to as soon as I finished where I was looking already. At that point they left, I believe to go and get some lunch. I did not find her ring in the first area, and began to work my way over to the other area. It was when I reached the spot she was standing when she introduced the second spot I received a nice gold signal, dug, and had a beautiful ring in my scoop. I called to let them know I found the ring, they were so surprised. They had been married for a year and a half, and this ring meant a lot to them. A very blessed experience indeed!

Brittany had been surfing, and had left her car key in her sandals on her towel when she went into the water. When She left, she picked everything up, and then went on what seemed like a bit of a trek to finally get back to her car. When she arrived she realized the key was gone. The stretch of sand from the bike path to the is quite expansive, and as Brittany made the walk back to do the search, it seemed like an experiment in futility. I let her know I would come immediately.

When I got to the beach Brittany found me, and explained what had happened. I surmised that the most likely place to begin was where she had been originally, and then search from there. I started my search going over all of the area that she had gridded with her feet first with no luck. When she said that it might be the whole expanse we might have to search, I asked that she would walk an exact a path as she did when she left. She then took me on a unique trek. I expected a bee line, but she had gone sideways, then doubled back, then off to the bike path. We went slow, while I dug every signal, finding much trash metal, but no key. We got to the bike path, and I asked if she thought we covered the path as close as possible, and she did. She then decided to leave. I told her that I was going to retrace our steps off to each side in order to make sure we did not miss anything, and would call her if I found the key. I went all the way back with nothing, and then began my way back to the bike path. Where she doubled back, about 5 feet from our first walk I got a very strong signal, dug, and had her key. You have to make sure all possibilities are explored, and this time it paid off. I called her and asked her to come and get her key; she was so surprised and happy to get it back. What fun!

I got a call for help from a family in Los Angeles about their child’s sand box. After moving into the house, they removed an above ground swimming pool which had a sand base that they thought would be great for their toddler child to play in. The problem occurred when the father was going through the sand and found a  pointy screw, and became worried about his child playing there, so he asked me to come and search the sand to see if there might be any more screws, or…

He showed me the sand box, and I began an immediate search. It took me about 45 minutes to thoroughly search the area, making sure I dug every signal, and I found quite a few screws, nails, and chunks of metal that the parents were happy to have removed from the area for the safety of their child. Another great, and safe day!

Eric called me about doing a search for his prescription sunglasses. He had taken them off and put them in his breast pocket while he was trimming the bushes in his yard. He looked extensively but was unable to find them. I let him know I was on my way.

When I got to Eric’s house he met me, and took me to the area he believed the glasses to have come out of his pocket. I began a search using both my detector, and also my pin pointer to probe into the dense bushes. I was looking in some very obvious possibilities, but it wasn’t until I probed a very low bush that received a signal. I moved the bush around looking inside, but was unable to see the glasses. I got the signal again, pulled the branches apart, and there about 8″ off of the ground were Eric’s glasses. They were very hard to see in the dark colored leaves. Eric was pleased to have his glasses back, and I was happy to have helped.

Maggie had lost two rings a few years earlier. She believed she had lost them in her yard, but was unsure, they could have possibly been lost in the house as well. They were going to be moving soon, and she wanted to know if the rings could possibly be in the yard before they left. We arranged a time to do the search, and I would meet her to find out where she might have lost them.

I got to her house, and she showed me the area, which ended up both front and back yards. I did an extensive search of both yards, but was unable to find the rings. While searching the backyard though, I did find a crystal pendant with an amethyst stone that Maggie had lost over a decade ago. The pedant had some serious sentimental value to her, as it held some memories of a trip she took many years prior. She was surprised that this pendant was finally found, and very happy to have it back. The search also provided closure on the rings, and yielded up a surprise she didn’t expect. Still a happy day!

Anna called me about 8:30 PM about a ring she lost earlier in the day. She was playing volley ball with friends and while she was hitting the ball, felt the ring come off. She and her friends, as well some bystanders fervently searched for her ring with no success. This was a ring her mother had given her, so it had a great amount of sentimentality. I let her know that I would go the same night if she could meet me there to show me where to search. She agreed, and I got my equipment together to go.

When we met in the parking area, (which was far from the beach), we walked over the highway to the beach. We were walking to the bike path when we passed another person with a metal detector who had just finished his day, which worried me about our possibility of a recovery. We walked out to the area, and Anna told me she had marked the area with some rocks and a stick (which was great). We searched for her marker, and finally found it. I began my search gridding carefully, and finding a few pieces of trash metal. I then began my search in the other direction, and after a few passes at about 11:00 PM, I had a nice chunky gold ring in my scoop. I handed it back to Anna who was so grateful to have it back, and I was glad to have been the implement of service for her.

Anna sent the following testimonial:

Ok I seriously don’t even know where to start! I lost my mother’s gold ring at the beach, at night, and lost all hope that I would be able to find it. I was so heartbroken, and was desperately looking online to rent my own metal detector. I didn’t think I was going to find anything, but you know, I was super desperate.

SOMEHOW, I happened upon Steve’s site, and man was he a lifesaver! He showed up to Santa Monica beach at 11pm and found my ring within 5 minutes! When he said 24/7 service, he really meant it!

I am so happy I found this service and Steve, and will continue to recommend this to literally anyone that loses a valuable item at the beach.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for preserving my mother’s legacy Steve. I am forever grateful!

Newlywed’s Ring found on Narragansett RI Town Beach

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

On Sunday, October 18, 2020, Matt and his wife were married on beautiful Narragansett town beach, followed by a celebration in the North Beach Club House.  At some point after the ceremony, they noticed that Matt’s wedding band had slipped off.  Friends and family  helped  search the beach and the Club House.  Guests even got a rake to search the sand and tried using a metal detector as well.  Unfortunately, these efforts only caused the ring to sink deeper in the sand.  They decided to search the internet for help and found TheRingFinders.com website.  On Monday, Matt sent me a text message asking for my help.  As soon as I got his message, I contacted Matt to let him know that I was on my way to search for his lost wedding band.  That’s when Matt told me that the wedding band had been handed down to him by his late grandfather.  Matt and his wife live in Cambridge, MA, and were unable to meet me at the beach, so they provided photos of the two areas where they thought the ring might be.  I started my search closest to the water, and in ten minutes I found Matt’s ring about 8 inches deep in the sand.  I called him with the good news.  We met that evening, and he was thrilled to have his ring back.
