Old Lyme , CT Platinum Diamond Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

Old Lyme CT, July 27. What started as a Christmas in July celebration at the beach with over 150 guest became a frantic search for a lost platinum diamond ring. Kristina the coordinator of the event was playing with the children handing out gifts and dancing with them under a huge tent. Line dancing around all the tables and tlo the gift distribution area. After stopping at her table she noted that two of her three rings were almost falling off her finger and the large diamond ring was missing. In a frantic search the crowd started searching the area kicking sand , kids digging into the sand and even a child’s detector was employed. Quick action by Alison reached out to me from social media and gave me the situation. In about 30 minutes I was onsite and assessing the situation. The area was trampled and it became clear there was no clear idea of where it could have been lost. I started but using a standard coil covering and gridding the area closest to where she noticed it had been missing. The tables and chairs were moved when possible to allow better access and everyone was supportive. I started by giving Kristina who said she was catholic and seeking help a St Anthony medal to pray for her lost items and many of the guests started doing the same. At one pint everyone left the area to go to sleep and I remained but changed my strategy and used a smaller sniper coil to better get between the tables. After about a half hour a weak but repeatedly signal in the range of  platinum was identified. The soft sand was pinpointed and at a depth of 6-7 inches a solid ping was detected, sifting the sand with my fingers I felt the band of the ring and a glitter of platinum ion the sand and brought it to the surface.  Some passing relatives contacted her and she jumped into a golf cart and came straight to the tent where her ring awaited her. We had several precious and emotional minutes where she came to terms it had been found and that her and the other peoples prayers to St Anthony were heard. A miracle had just been witnessed.

 

Lost Ring in Rental Car near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho….Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

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.

White Gold Wedding Band recovered in Seal Beach

Ben texted me yesterday about his loss so we met at the beach this morning at 6:30 am. I was searching for his ring when I found a nice iPhone in the wet sand. Eventually I moved to another location where he was in the dry sand where I found his ring.

Ring found at Bolsa Chica Beach with Metal Detector

I was sent a google map location at Bolsa Chica Beach via text to search for a tungsten ring. These are more difficult when the person can’t meet you in person.
I sent pictures to verify which fire pit he was at. I circled the fire pit and on the 5th time around I found his ring. Drive to Long Beach to drop off his ring but forgot to take a picture of him with the ring.

White gold wedding band lost, then found with a metal detector in Nashville, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

Danny found me on TheRingFinder website after losing his white gold wedding band at a park in Nashville, TN. He had been carrying it in his hand when it slipped out and flew into some grass. He was pretty confident it was in an area about 20 feet by 20 feet. After asking Danny a few questions, I asked him to start a timer. Nineteen minutes into the search with my Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector, I found the ring several feet outside of the 20’ by 20’ search area where Danny thought the ring would be. It was concealed in the 3” tall grass and would have been difficult, if not impossible, to locate without a detector. It was Danny’s information that put me close enough for the ring to be found. He was elated that I found his ring, which is obvious by the huge smile on his face. To make this story even better, a gentleman walked by and congratulated Danny on having his ring found. Come to find out they grew up in the same neighborhood in another state. What a great day to not only re-unite Danny with his lost wedding band, but also have Danny be re-united with an old friend.

Jayce lost her white gold and diamond ring in her back yard.  After two days of searching and two new metal detectors, she was frustrated and had given up much hope of finding it.  She finally contacted me and within 4 hours we were in her back yard recreating the events that lead to the lost ring.  Bingo!  Ring Found!  One more happy customer and one more cherished keepsake back with its rightful owner!  This doesn’t ever get old.  It is truly an honor and very rewarding to be a part of the story.

I was contacted by Jennifer after being tagged multiple times on a social media post. Jennifer explained that her husband had taken a surfing lesson on his birthday on Queen St beach in Cape May. During the lesson, his necklace broke and he lost his late daughters memoriam charms in the surf. I chatted back and forth with Jennifer and gathered some specific details. Took a ride over and checked at low tide this morning around 6:30am. After about an hour of searching the surf I was able to recover the charms and reunite them with Phil and Jennifer. Another happy couple!

I received a message from Ken the other day. He explained that his wife was sitting with their daughter just at the edge of the water on the beach in Wildwood Crest . The pair were chatting about his wife, Shelly’s, ring which she had just had repaired and had taken it off to show to her daughter. While doing so, a larger wave rushed in and startled the pair causing the ring to be flung behind them towards the upper beach as they were facing the water when it happened. The ring landed in the shallow water and disappeared. Shelly was devastated, and the family searched for hours trying to locate the ring. Luckily, Ken, Shelly’s husband, did an excellent job noting the approximate location and took note of the time as the tide was moving in. We discussed the event a bit and decided to wait until the tide was heading back out so the water would be at a reasonable depth. I met the couple on the beach at just about dark around 9pm and began searching. About 15 minutes later I heard the signal I was searching for, 1 scoop later the ring was back on Shelly’s finger. She was elated to say the least! The couple informed me that Ken had proposed to Shelly over 40 years prior just a few blocks down beach. Another relieved & happy couple!
Kens and Shelly’s review of service:
“Jeffrey came at dusk walked into the ocean and went to work finding my wife’s engagement ring. 10 min later he saved our vacation and I can’t thank him enough. Thank you!”

I was tagged by several folks in a post on Cape May Live. The poster was asking for people to keep an eye out for her husband’s gold ring that slipped off in the surf. I messaged the couple and we chatted back and forth about what exactly happened and where. She was able to outline the specific area and time of day that the loss occurred. Timing wise, I felt that the best chances would be during the low tide cycle the following morning. I took the 5 minute ride for home yesterday morning and began searching. After about 1 hour or so I got the signal I was searching for and out popped the ring from thigh deep surf. The couple confirmed the inscribed date and picked up the ring yesterday afternoon. They both thought the ring was “gone forever” after 27 years of marriage. Another happy couple!
The Verners review of service:
“Jeff Laag is truly amazing! I don’t know how he did it, but he found my husband’s wedding band that was lost in knee deep water at the cape may beach. Don’t hesitate to look him up to find your lost jewelry!”
