Rose gold wedding ring recovered in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)


This gentleman lost his beautiful rose gold wedding band while walking to his car at night. He felt it fall off but did not see where it went and with all the snow it had made it difficult. After a couple of hours searching he found me on Ring Finders. It was late but reassured him we’d be there in the morning before all the busy traffic started in that area. He explained what had happened, walking on a sidewalk in a busy area full of restaurants. We got so lucky that there was an open space in the street parking area close to where he lost it. I quickly had him stand in that area assuring no car would park there while I searched. I quickly found his ring up along the curb embedded in snow. Looks like cars were pushing it and compacting the snow against the curb. Happy tears as he was just recently married. This is what I enjoy about metal detecting.

LOST RING FOUND SCUBA – WHITEWATER LAKE, WHITEWATER, WI

  • from Carmel (Indiana, United States)

Whitewater, Wisconsin, resident Robert was launching his kayak on Lake Whitewater when he slipped on the precarious seawall boulders and fell into the lake. Shortly after, he checked his hand, and his heart sank as he noticed his wedding ring was missing.

Each successive summer, he and the kids would dive down and visually scan the area with goggles and flashlights in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of the missing ring. Three years later, I received a call from a different Lake Whitewater resident, Brian, who had contracted me to find a lost watch off his dock. He mentioned that a neighbor of his, Robert, had lost a wedding ring three years earlier and put me in contact with him.

After concluding the search for Brian’s watch, I walked two houses down to Robert’s property. I waded out into the chilly lake and began searching just off the shoreline. The bottom of the lake was rocky with a dense clay layer, which proved difficult to dig through while retrieving signals. After clearing all the promising signals from the area, I figured the ring may have ventured into the seawall from strong waves over the years. I donned my scuba equipment and blindly inspected each crevasse between the boulders. Deep underneath one boulder, I received a strong hit from my handheld metal detecting probe, and Robert’s ring surfaced.

Both Robert and his wife were ecstatic to have the wedding ring back on his finger and to finally bring their summer search expeditions to an end. If you or someone you know has lost a ring on land, in water, or in an area requiring scuba, give me a call. I love reuniting people with what was once thought to be lost forever.

 

Handmade wedding band ring recovered Louisville, Colorado

“Objects with sentimental value are treasures that money can’t buy.”

Justine said “it doesnt have a lot of monetary value” but she made her own wedding ring as well as her husband’s. So you can imagine how special this ring was to her. She was visiting from out of town with her family and decided to play basketball with her son at a park nearby. She was sure she had lost it on the blacktop because that’s when she noticed something was not right. Quickly realizing her ring was gone, with her son’s help they searched the blacktop several times over and over. Assuming it had rolled or flew off into the grass, she called for help. I decided to start around the basketball court, did not take long as I did not go out far. With no success I had a hunch to just look over the blacktop before i expanded my search area. It was a small court so my guess was probably not there. But as soon as I took 2 steps onto it I saw my favorite color of blue. There it was. Maybe sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes searching without emotion. Can you spot the ring on the blacktop?

Lost wedding band found and returned in Littleton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Testimonial:
Wow. Absolutely incredible, unforgettable experience.

What I thought was a normal Saturday went a little sideways when my wife realized she had accidentally lost her wedding band and engagement ring!

Luckily we found her engagement ring on the driver’s seat of her car, but after 2 hours of scouring the car, the area around the car, and the landscaping around that, we started to worry the wedding band was gone for good..

I was googling what metal detector works best for white gold when reddit recommended I try ring finders. When I hopped on ring finders Stephanie Hobbs was the closest ring finder to me, and I gave her a call!

She immediately answered and was able to be at our place looking in 1 hour, and for a very small reasonable flat fee!!!!

Her and her boyfriend Jeff both responded to our apartment, and after about 15 minutes of looking THEY FOUND THE RING, tucked away behind the TIRE OF OUR NEIGHBORS CAR. My wife and I had both LAID DOWN looking there multiple times! But what we didn’t have was Stephanie’s INCREDIBLE eye !!!
While this happened Jeff was painstakingly fishing his endoscope camera UNDER THE CARPET OF MY WIFE’S CAR WHERE THE WIRES GO to make triple sure that the ring didn’t roll down there somehow!!

The whole time we are chatting with Stephanie and Jeff realizing these might be two of the nicest, most kind hearted people we have ever run into. Absolutely amazing people to chat with and hang out with, all while being absolutely PHENOMENAL at ring finding.

I honestly don’t know what to say, my wife and I will never forget this day and will plan to stay in touch with Stephanie and Jeff in case they ever need anything.

 

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Lost/Found Gold Ring Wedding Set In Milton, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 05/05/26, I received a call from Randy requesting my help in finding a gold ring wedding set that belonged to his wife Carole. Randy said that the wedding set had been lost in the grass at the rear of their residence while Carole was hanging up their wash on the clothes line to dry. Randy said that Carole felt the two rings as they slipped off her finger but upon searching the grass under the clothes line the rings were no where to be found. Upon responding to Randy and Caroles residence I started to search the grass under the clothes line with my metal detector. After a few minutes into the search I determined that the grass so short and dry that if the rings were on the ground it would be possible to see and recover them by searching by eye sight. I determined that the rings were not on the ground under the clothes line. I noticed that Carole had hung up a fitted bed sheet on the clothes line so that it could dry. I grabbed my pin pointer and ran it along the bottom of the fitted sheet at which time my pin pointer began to sound off. The two lost rings had slid off of Caroles finger and landed in the bottom of the fitted sheet, Carole removed the rings from the sheet and placed them back on her finger where they belonged.

Received a call from Joes cousin Nicole. Nicole explained that her cousin Joe had just lost his ring in the surf while enjoying the ocean with the family. Joe was body surfing, and at some point, his gold wedding ring had slipped off and disappeared into the ocean. It was just about 5pm when they called and low tide was at 5:30pm. I immediately rushed up and met up with Joe and his family. Joe was fairly confident of where he was at when he noticed the ring was gone but wasnt positive of exactly when it happened. He was between chest deep water and ankle deep surf. I began working a search grid from where he believed was the most probable spot. After recovering many targets in the “wash zone” I began to work my way out to deeper water. Joe and his family had returned to their home for dinner and I assured them that I would continue searching the area to ensure it was thoroughly covered. After about 2hrs of searching I heard the signal I was waiting for. After two scoops in chest deep water out popped Joes ring! Another happy client!

Joes Review:

“Jeff Laag and Ring Finders Cape May are incredible! I lost my wedding ring in the ocean while on vacation last week. Jeff showed up in no time and immediately started his search! I had dropped some change where I thought I lost the ring to help with his search. Jeff found all $9 in change, searching diligently. After two hours I had all but given up and was going to have to tell my wife I lost my ring less than a year into our marriage! Just then, Jeff sent a message that he had concluded his search…and found the ring! Five feet deep in the ocean! If you’ve lost a ring/ valuable metals you need to give this man a call! Thanks Jeff!”

LOST Platinum wedding ring (for 5 months) at Air BnB on Lake Gaston, NC….. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.

So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.

We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!

I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”

I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!
