Engagement Ring Lost in Beaufort, NC Waters After Friend’s Wedding Celebration Found

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

Jasmine called me early in the morning, explaining she had spent hours searching for a ring lost in the “very muddy, murky part of the water.” She and her fiancé Bella were distraught, fearing it was gone forever. I tried to comfort and reassure her that I could help. The couple was in Beaufort, NC, celebrating a wedding with some friends. After the wedding, they decided to jump into the Beaufort waters for fun.

Later that morning, I learned the ring, that belonged to Bella’s Grandmother, had been lost while swimming near a boat dock, and attempts to find it in the soft, mucky bottom had failed. Concerned about the water’s depth, I asked Jasmine, who said it was 5-6 feet deep but shallower and muddier near the dock. I planned to arrive at noon, timing it with the outgoing tide. Jasmine felt confident the ring came off as she pulled herself out of the water onto the dock, but no one knew where it had ended up.

I began a thorough search, diving into the muddy water with my metal detector. I found no signals near that side of the dock and started wondering if the ring had fallen through the dock boards onto the plastic support floats. Sliding under the dock, I felt around the floats and even used a borrowed phone to photograph areas I couldn’t see or reach—but still no luck. Returning to the water, I doubted the ring could have slipped through the narrow gaps in the boards. We then decided to search the opposite side of the dock.

After just a few steps in knee-deep muck, my headphones picked up a loud signal that even Jasmine heard from the dock. Digging through the black mud, I finally retrieved the ring. Holding it high above my head, I instantly changed the mood of everyone watching joy and relief filled the air!

14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in Resort Parking Garage, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This search started on Sunday Sept. 14, 2025, just before 4 pm with a text from Cody saying, “Hi Jim, I found your number on a metal detecting page. We just stayed at Sands Resort this weekend and my wife put her ring in our backpack cooler for safe keeping. When we went to put our beach wagon back in the car, we dumped out the sand. The backpack cooler never left the wagon and her ring was gone. We can only imagine we dumped it out in the parking deck. I was wondering if this would be something you could help with. We are 4 hours away. I called the number attached to the text message and got a few more details from Cody. One of the things he told me was the ring was a yellow gold wedding band that was part of a set, but this was just the wedding band that was lost. He said they were parked on the 5th level and 2 parking spaces to the left, directly across from the elevator. He also mentioned that they had left to go back home about 8 am that day. I’m thinking that our tourist season is winding down and there should be fewer guests at the resort.  I also thought there was a pretty good chance of finding his wife, Desiree’s wedding band. I told him I’d go a little later and would let him know when I was on my way.

About 7:30 pm I sent him a text saying, “On my way.” Since this was going to be strictly a visual search, I grabbed a flashlight and a small fan rake. The rake was in case I had to reach under a car if that’s where the ring was. I got to the resort about 8 pm and needed a parking card to get into the parking lot. I had to go in and explain what was going on to the front desk clerk and she gave me a card to park. As I’m driving through the maze of the parking garage, I’m noticing the first 3 levels of parking were completely full. Not what I was hoping for. When I got to level 5, it was almost empty of cars. I parked 1 spot to the right of the elevator and walked over to the elevator to make sure I was on the 5th level. There was a car parked in the 3rd spot, left of the elevator, but they left after I started looking around with the flashlight. I checked the 1st and 2nd spot and saw nothing. So, as usual when I can’t find what I’m looking for in the area it’s supposed to be in, I expand my search out. I looked out to the 6th spot on the left with no luck, so I started back to the right. As I’m getting ready to move my car, I glanced over on the 2nd spot to the right of the elevator and noticed a small object. As I walked over to it, Bingo, there was her ring just lying on the ground. I took a picture of me holding her ring and one of just the ring and sent it to him. In the text I said, “Cody, you need to go buy you a lottery ticket, now.” He immediately responded, “Brother you are a gift!!!” I called him telling him where I found it. He was positive it should have been on the left of the elevator. So, we’re thinking it either got kicked, flung out of the cooler or possibly rolled over to where it was. How it got to where it was, we’ll never know, but I was glad it did. I asked him to send me his name and address so I could get it in the mail tomorrow, Monday. He and Desiree were very excited to be getting it back.

They got the ring back on Thursday and I got the picture of Desiree and her big smile on Saturday.

Cody – thank you for calling me to help find Desiree’s treasure.

Jim

A Tale of Our Forefathers

  • from Media (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

At Valley Forge in the bitter winter of 1777, George Washington carried his late father’s gold wedding band on a cord beneath his coat, a small reminder of family and duty amid the suffering of his army, but one night while moving through the snowbound encampment to comfort quarreling soldiers, he discovered it was gone, likely slipped into the drifts; though he searched frantically in the freezing dark, the ring seemed lost to the storm until, at dawn, a young soldier returned it to him, found half-buried near a frozen creek, and Washington, clutching the tarnished band, felt a renewed strength to endure and lead, knowing even in the bleakest hours, hope could be restored.
Just kidding, her name was Moira and she accidentally dropped her father’s band when it broke off her necklace at Valley Forge Park. Luckily, with permission from the park’s rangers we were allowed to bring a metal detector on site and retrieve the ring.

Lost I phone… found in Waukee Iowa

Contact:

I found an I phone today that Ryan lost in a field of weeds behind his house. He said that it was lost in June and he had been searching for it ever since. He even purchased a cheap detector but was unable to find it. I was there around three hours gridding different sections before I found it. He put a charger on it and it was charging so I hope it will still work for him.

thanks for the reward Ryan

Contact:
💍 Ring Recovered at Sunrise Lake Beach Club! 💍 – Shout out to Ed Trapper for the lead!!
While enjoying a day at Sunrise Lake Beach Club, a man was playing catch in the water when he saw his ring fly off. Despite searching and searching, he couldn’t locate it in the sand below.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. After giving a brief moment of false hope—finding another lost ring in the area—we expanded the search grid and,
before long, recovered the correct ring and returned it to its owner.
⚒️ Pro Tip:
If a lost item isn’t where you expect it, expand your search area. You can grid the spot with horizontal or vertical rows, or spiral outward from the most likely point. Persistence pays off—if the ring is there, you’ll find it!
Another happy recovery at the beach. 🌊

Lost Gold Medallion Wharton NJ… Found

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)

🌟 Success Story: Lost Medallion Recovered! 🌟
 
At the end of July (yes, we’re behind on posting!), Greenwood Detecting had the privilege of helping a local homeowner recover a precious religious keepsake from his grandfather. While doing yard work, he felt his chain slip off. After searching the grass, he was able to locate one medallion—but the second one remained missing.
 
That’s when Greenwood Detecting stepped in. Within just 15 minutes on site, we were able to locate and recover the lost golden medallion, returning both pieces safely to their owner.
 
🔍 Pro Tip:
When dealing with a lost item, if you still have a matching piece (like the first medallion), we can use it to get a signal “read” on our detectors. This helps us identify exactly what to listen for and narrow down which signals are worth looking into—making the search faster and more accurate.
 
Another successful recovery, and another happy client! 💍✨

His Grandfather’s Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost on Pine Knoll Shores Beach Found

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

Quinn contacted Crystal Coast Ring finders just minutes after losing his grandfather’s wedding band. He later explained that he had worn the ring for a family member’s wedding, and upon returning to the beach, he went down to the water to pick up his son. As he lifted him, the ring slipped off and disappeared into the surf. After a few passes, I got a strong signal, and when I scooped up the sand, there it was—Quinn’s ring shining among the grains.
Years ago, when Quinn’s mother was still a child, his grandfather had to hide this very wedding band inside one of her toys before leaving Cuba. This ring carries an incredible history, and now its story can continue with even more cherished memories.

Lost Tungsten Wedding Ring in the Grass, Spokane Valley WA…Found!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Milo had started a walk with his two dogs. Nurture called for one of them as the other took off into the field of the school. Keeping his eyes on the second dog, Milo had retrieved a doodoo bag from his pocket. While picking up the dog’s deposit, the ring Milo had placed in his pocket took a swan dive into the grass. There was now a void in his pocket where the ring had been sitting. Milo being constantly aware of the item in his pocket felt this void. The fun was over for the trio. Milo had a new mission. Finding his wedding ring was now on the agenda. After combing the grass with the search pattern, he learned in boy scouts, the ring eluded his eyes. Although the eyes can’t see the ring, the metal detector knows it’s there. Milo knew what he needed to do. Calling a Ring Finder was the solution to his problem. With almost an hour drive away from the ring, I got ready and headed to the school. There was little time wasted when we met up and went over how the ring was lost. I inquired about where he pulled the bag out of his pocket. Milo put me on the path he walked. Just as I passed by the ring, Milo told me to turn around and check the far edge of the path. This 180-degree turn put me right on top of the ring. The detector lit up with a 16 signal and it showed one arrow of depth. I knew the ring would fall in the 12-20 range because I had tested out 4 of the rings I have, before I started his ring search. My pin pointer buzzed in the patch of grass and Milo and I, pulled back the blades to reveal his ring. With the quick search over in a blink of an eye, the ring Milo had lost had found its way back to his hand. The paths we take may be long and full of challenges but when you find a friend to help you out, no problem you encounter will stop your trip.

18k Yellow Gold Ring Lost In The Back Yard, Westbrook Estates Edmonton Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

       

Received a call from Kevin requesting my service to locate his 18k yellow gold wedding ring which he lost a couple of days prior while doing fall gardening with his wife in the backyard,

Kevin was working at the bottom of his yard when he found out his ring was not on his finger he search the area with his wife with no luck at all and thats when he needed some professional help to find his ring he Google searched and found The Ringfinders web site and called me,

Kevin explained to me he exchange gloves with his wife and that’s possible when his ring fell off his finger, also he mentioned that he had the lawn cut the next day and was concerned that his ring may have been picked up by the mower? I assured Kevin that it was highly unlikely the mower would pick it up,

Also Kevin had 8 bags of grass clippings and twigs and possible the ring could be in one of the bags, I agreed to meet up with Kevin on Wednesday evening.

I met up with Kevin at his home and he showed me where he was cutting and cleaning up his yard. His backyard had very steep slope to a ravine also the grass was already yellow which made the ring blend in with the terrain which it made impossible to find with a naked eye.

I search all the bags a couple of times to make sure the ring was not in them no ring was found then I proceeded to search at the bottom of the garden I was getting positive ringtones but it was not the tone I was listening for, then I heard a faint tone and Iron tone which made me stop and investigate this strange sound and yes there was Kevin’s ring being masked by an Iron object and covered with dead grass if I had not been thorough in my search that ring could have being missed forever,

Thank you Kevin for entrusting me to find your wedding ring
