4 CT DIAMOND RING RECOVERED FROM CAR USING ENDOSCOPE RETURNED TO OWNER..PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL.

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)

Sometimes metal detectors can’t be used due to other metals in the vicinity. In such cases, we can opt for visual searches or utilize specialized tools like endoscopes for small, confined areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye.  In this particular case, an endoscope was necessary for the search. If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

William called to inform me that while driving with his wife, she expressed concern about her wedding ring feeling loose. She effortlessly removed the ring and handed it to him. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when he somehow managed to drop the ring inside the car during the drive.  Despite his certainty that the ring was in the car, he spent three days searching without any success.

Desperate to find the ring, William took the car to a Mercedes dealership and left it there for an additional three days. He instructed the dealership to remove the seats to search for the ring. Unfortunately, the dealership was unable to locate the diamond ring.

Concerned that the dealership might have stolen the ring, I agreed to search for it using some specialized tools I had successfully used in the past. The search took over an hour, but we were able to locate the ring wedged behind a small metal bracket in the seat mechanism. As seen in the photo, the ring was in a challenging location.

We were all relieved that the ring was found and returned, and now back on his wife’s finger where it belonged.

Honeymoon Island State Park had recently reopened after some hurricane cleanup and visitors were beginning to return. Dave and his wife Tina are snowbirds who live in Dunedin, Florida during the winter and Deadbroke Island, Ontario the remainder of the year. They, along with niece Jenn, her husband Stephen, and nine month old son Nico, as well as niece Emma and her partner Ian were enjoying the beach late one afternoon when Stephen asked Emma to hold onto his wedding ring while he and Ian dug a hole for Nico to play in. Emma put the ring on her finger and later went down to the edge of the water to wash her hands in the surf when the ring slipped off of her finger into the ankle deep water!

After a frantic unsuccessful search by all to locate the ring in the surf, a lady who was sitting near the family mentioned my name to them so Dave googled my contact information and called me. I told Dave I would be at their location in about 45 minutes so I rounded up my gear and headed for Honeymoon. When I arrived, Dave pointed me to the area where the ring dropped in the surf which was now about shin to knee deep with small waves and a 60 degree temperature. The water was cold for this part of Florida especially without a wetsuit and it was only about an hour prior to sunset but I began my search in the wet sand out to almost waist deep, gridding lines the best I could perpendicular to the shoreline. After about 15 minutes, I received a strong surface signal with a mid 30’s number on my Minelab Equinox 900 detector in shin deep water and began to try to scoop the target out of the rolling surf. After about five unsuccessful attempts, I moved away from that promising target thinking that it must be deeper than my reading and I sought other targets close by. After another 15 minutes, I had only dug an old pull tab so I began to work my way back towards the original target. I found the mid 30’s target once more and I was determined to scoop it out the second time. On about the third scoop, I had the target out of the water in a scoop full of small shells and sand and instead of rinsing the sand out in the water, I brought the scoop to shore and dumped it on the beach, hoping that the ring was there for the family to find as they were all very excited! At first as the sand and shells were spread, nothing appeared so I swung my detector coil over the material again and told everyone that what I had dug was in a small lump of sand and shells. As the sand and shells were spread in that area, out pops Stephen’s beautiful gold wedding band with the wedding date of 12/31/23 inscribed inside! Obviously we were all overjoyed and especially Emma!

Dave and family, thank you for trusting Steve Thomas,  Dunedin Ring Finder to find and return Stephen’s ring! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Wedding Ring Lost in Bay, Surf City NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

I noticed a text from Michelle, asking if I could help find her husband Jeff’s lost wedding ring. I asked her to call, as it’s much easier to discuss details over the phone. She explained that they were at the beach with their children when Jeff’s ring had been pulled off his finger. Fortunately, Jeff was certain of the general area where it was lost, as their daughter is young and they had stayed in a fairly small section of the beach. I told Michelle I could meet them shortly, and we agreed on a time.

One concern she had was that they had dinner reservations for 5:30 and didn’t know if they needed to stay while I searched. I reassured her that as long as Jeff could meet me at the beach to point out the spot, they wouldn’t have to stay the entire time.

A short while later, I arrived, grabbed my gear, and we headed out to the location where their chairs had been set up. Jeff suggested we start in the deeper part of the area where he felt the ring had slipped off his finger. We began working in a back-and-forth pattern, covering about a 75-foot-wide area, but after six or eight passes, there was still no sign of the ring.

At that point, I decided to return to where we had started and gradually work my way closer to the shoreline. I could see the concern growing on Jeff’s face as time was ticking, and every search path was coming up empty. After covering such a large area without success, we decided it was time to change strategies. I planned to search a new section further south, but before moving on, I made the decision to do one or two more passes toward the shoreline.

It was a good thing I did because just a few feet into the next path, my metal detector let out a sweet tone that I was almost certain was Jeff’s ring. On the first scoop, there it was! I held it up with a shout of, “I’ve got it!” Jeff was overwhelmed with joy, amazed that I had found the ring after nearly an hour of searching.

Just as his wife Michelle arrived, we all shared in the excitement. Moments like these—seeing the relief and happiness on people’s faces when their lost valuables are recovered—are what make this work so rewarding. Another successful recovery for the 2024 season!

Lost Ring in State College, PA… FOUND!

  • from Altoona (Pennsylvania, United States)

Sam reached out to me after losing his 14k white gold ring while playing in the backyard with his dog, Lupo. It was the first snowfall of the year, and Lupo was having a blast catching snowballs. As Sam shook the snow from his hands before heading inside, he felt the ring fly off his finger and heard a faint clink as it struck something near the deck.

Sam and his wife, Moyra, scoured the backyard as the snow fell harder, covering any trace of the ring. After hours of searching in vain, they reluctantly gave up, thinking it might be lost until spring—or forever.

When I arrived that weekend, the snow had melted some but there was still no sign of the ring. Armed with my Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector, I scanned where Sam thought the ring had landed. The minutes ticked by, and just when hope began to waver, the detector gave a familiar low tone. There it was, under the snow, waiting to be found.

Sam was overjoyed to have his ring back. He rushed inside to share the good news with Moyra and brought out Lupo, who was just as excited to meet me. As a final thank-you, Moyra gave me a few of her homemade Christmas cookies—an unexpected and delicious reward that didn’t last long on my drive home.

Helping Sam and Moyra reminded me why I love what I do. It’s not just about finding lost items; it’s about bringing joy and relief to people in those little moments that matter.

Yardwork & Christmas Lights Equals Lost Ring in Cinnaminson NJ. Found by Dave Milsted

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

Sara called me, asking for help to find her husband’s gold wedding ring. She found me on the Ring Finder’s website. He had spent the entire day working in the yard—cleaning out the gutters, raking leaves, and putting up Christmas lights. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t locate the ring. With only about an hour of daylight left, I headed over to assist.

When I arrived, Devon was still searching for the ring. There was a massive pile of leaves at the curb, scheduled for pickup that week, so I began my search there. Unfortunately, I had no luck.

Next, we moved to the flower beds under the gutter. I received a strong signal under a small bush. Despite not seeing the ring on the ground, the signal was promising. Using my pinpointer, I discovered the signal was coming from within the bush.

It turned out that when the ring slipped off Devon’s hand, it landed in the bush and got hooked on one of the branches. The ring, a beautiful yellow-gold piece, held significant sentimental value as it belonged to Devon’s great-grandfather.

I love my hobby!

Lost diamond ring in yard, Hastings, Florida…found with a metal detector by ring finder Mike McInroe!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

My name is Mike McInroe and I am a Lost Item Recovery Specialist!  On land, in the water, grass, yards, woods, houses, vehicles or under ground…please call ASAP anytime at 321-363-6029!

Makayla called me to ask if I could help her find a very special ring that was lost in a small animal pen behind her house.  Before attempting any search I always ask some very specific questions to help me determine the likelihood of actually finding the lost or misplaced item.  Thankfully Makayla assured me that her friend actually felt the ring come off and it was in a very small area and they had not disturbed the area for fear of burying it further in the straw.  Apparently while spreading the straw out, her friend actually felt her ring slip off of her finger and it immediately disappeared…especially since the ring was a gold ring and almost the very same color as the straw.  They began looking through the 12 inch thick straw and after a while they gave up and decided they needed a metal detector and that led them to the internet and theringfinders web site.

It only took a few minutes to locate the lost diamond ring in the straw and the young couple was thrilled to have their precious ring back again.

Have you lost something and need a ring finders help?  Call or text me ASAP…don’t wait!  Call 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Wedding Ring Recovered – Clayton!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I got a text from a woman whose husband had lost his wedding ring while doing yard work. Not an unusual story – it’s actually fairly common. He had lost it several weeks earlier and although they had searched (including a neighbor with a metal detector), they had not been able to locate the ring. His birthday was coming up in a few days and she wanted to surprise him with the ring that he now believed was gone. We made arrangements to meet at the house so she could show me where he thought he had lost it. The property was fairly large and she said that he had covered probably 2/3 of the property with his yard work, so I was anticipating a lengthy search. The husband thought it was in “the burn pile”, an area where they burned branches, sticks, and other yard waste. She thought it was in the pile of sticks yet to be burned (and I was dreading having to move all of the sticks to get down to the ground!). I figured I’d start my search in those two places and work outward. Starting with the burn pile, I first pulled up a burnt aluminum can, but my second target was the ring! Fortunately they had not done any burning since the ring was lost, so while it was sitting in burnt soil, the ring itself was just fine. She’s planning to surprise him with the ring at his upcoming birthday dinner.

 

Mom’s Wedding Ring Recovered – Greensboro!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I was contacted by a woman who had initially lost two rings, but had found one before calling me. While we were speaking about the when and where, she told me the backstory. Both her parents had passed and she had a ring from each. She decided to wear the two rings around her neck, but had the rings together on a hoop earring, which was in turn, looped onto a gold chain. She was spreading straw onto newly seeded grass in her back yard, and in rearranging the straw with a rake, she saw her father’s ring on the ground, which is when she realized that the hoop earring had opened and dropped the rings. As you might imagine, the hoop wasn’t strong enough to hold the rings securely and it had opened up. Finding the first ring was a good indicator about the location of the second, but she had searched extensively and hadn’t been able to locate it. After having her show me the areas where she’d been working, I started the search. After finding the usual yard trash (small pieces of aluminum, iron nails, screws, and a few pennies), I was able to locate her ring. In her own search, she had unknowingly stepped on it and pushed it down into the mud. Although it wasn’t visible, my detector wasn’t bothered by the mud and I was able to recover the ring. Given how important the rings were to her, it was great to see the joy in her eyes when the missing ring was recovered and returned!

Diamond Engagement Ring lost in the sand, Lavallette NJ (OB3) recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jersey shore ring finder

I was spending the holiday weekend with my family at Island Beach State Park when I received a frantic call from Megan. She was incredibly upset, having just lost her rings in the sand moments before. While she had managed to recover two of them, her cherished engagement ring was nowhere to be found. I calmed her down, advising her to stop digging and simply wait, assuring her I would be there in a few hours. Since Megan and her family were staying for the day and had secured the area with their beach gear, there wasn’t an urgent rush. Had the situation been different, I would have dropped everything and headed there immediately.

When I arrived, Megan pointed out the area where the ring had gone missing, and I wasted no time getting to work. Initially, I had to clear a few loud signals that were overpowering the delicate tone of her ring. Once those were taken care of, my metal detector honed in on the ring’s unique signal. Within seconds, her engagement ring was safely in my scoop. The relief on her face made the search all the more rewarding!
