After the mayhem … the ring was missing.

Don & I rec’d a call from a very special couple whose story is quite remarkable.  The groom-to-be purchased a beautiful ring one morning, proposed to his sweetheart later that afternoon and in celebrating that evening, misplaced that same ring (those pockets were just not deep enough).  The instructions given to us as we walked onto the property is ‘it’s somewhere out there’ meaning in the yard.   It took a while but with the patience the bride and groom showed and the belief that Don & I had we knew we wouldn’t leave until we found it.  And find it we did.

Lost gold ring on Disappearing Island, New Smyrna Beach, Fl…..Found and Returned!

Mike McInroe—Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost Your Ring?…Call ASAP! 321-363-6029

Alicia was enjoying a relaxing day at Disappearing Island with friends and as she was swimming she somehow felt her small gold ring come off of her pinky finger. She tried grabbing it as it fell thru the water but to her horror it vanished in the soft sand at her feet. She desperately tried feeling in the sand, running her fingers back and forth but her precious ring just seemed to disappear!

This small gold ring was very special to Alicia as it was a gift to her when she was 12 years old from her mother and she has worn that ring every day for the last 23 years, until now. The location where she lost the ring was on Disappearing Island at Ponce Inlet in north New Smyrna Beach. And it is a very popular place for the boaters to park and enjoy the calmer waters and especially at low tide. During high tide the island is quite small but during low tide there is plenty of area for boats to park and especially on weekends the island is lined with boats of all sizes.

I made plans to meet Alicia at the Smyrna Dunes Park and we each brought our own kayak and with my Whites TDI Beach Hunter metal detector, scoop and other essential gear we set out across the busy inlet water way. It took a bit of figuring as Alicia texted her friends and had them each send a pin on a google map photo of where they had anchored the boat and where they would have been swimming the day she lost her ring. Alicia was worried about me being able to find her lost ring but I assured her that if she could put me in the general area where she was swimming then there was a good chance of actually finding her lost ring. So we pulled our kayaks up onto the beach in the 95 degree heat and I set about my grid search going from the wet sand and out into the water and back again, dragging one foot to mark my trail so I could actually overlap each pass so as not to miss one inch of sand. (The day she lost her ring she was in waist deep water at high tide and today we were there just before low tide so my target area was the wet sand out to knee deep water.) After an hour and a half and only digging up bottle caps, pull tabs and other miscellaneous junk I was needing a water break and while talking to Alicia we determined I had gone far enough on the one end of the beach and now I needed to go in the other direction. Alicia was feeling a bit useless and asked me several times what she could do to help me in the search. She offered to cover each hole I dug and tried to assist in finding the hidden target after I would dig a scoop of sand and dump it on the ground. After a while I tried to encourage her that the best thing she could do was “Pray” as I assured her that God knew exactly where her ring was hiding and that He would just need to get me over the top of it with my coil for us to find it. It truly is a matter of inches, as Chris Turner always says, and finally there in ankle deep water I got a faint signal and as the sand drained out of my scoop I could see a small gold ring nestled in the bottom. I motioned for Alicia to come over and look at what I just found and I will never forget the look on her face! The joy and relief and happiness all mixed in with thankfulness!

gold ring lost at Lauderdale by the sea , Florida… found and returned to the owner

  • from North Miami Beach (Florida, United States)

Lost Ring in Huntingdon PA… Found!

  • from Altoona (Pennsylvania, United States)

I got a call from Rick who said he lost a wedding band while Kayaking in the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The ring was a family heirloom and was inscribed with the date of his grandmother’s wedding. Hunts like these are particularly motivating to me because of the sentimental value of the ring. Like Rick said, it’s not about the monetary value.  The real value is in the significance it has to his family and he would like to pass it down to his kids. The only problem was the size of the search area.

Rick didn’t know where the ring came off of his finger but he remembered three spots where his kayak got hung up on the rocks and he thought he might have lost it at one of those spots. He provided Julie and I with kayaks and the three of us loaded up gear and headed to the most likely spot where the current picked up a bit after dropping down a ledge. On the way there, I got to know Rick a bit and how he fished the river as a kid and takes his family there now. The river is a special place for him and I thought it would be a shame if his lost ring would tarnish that. When we got to the spot, we beached the kayaks and stumbled over the slippery rocks to the search area. After about 15 minutes of searching, I got a good signal and I went in with a snorkel and pinpointer and pulled out the ring. We were so excited and amazed to find the ring with such a large area to cover. Rick was such a nice guy and I was glad to be able to preserve the good memories the river holds for him.

Haigis Beach, Dennis Port, Massachusetts Ring Lost, Found and Return

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

Joe was frolicking around with his son in the beach waters of Haigis. As we all know something unexpected is always bound to happen. When father and son’s hands connected the result was Joe’s wedding band went sailing off into the ocean. This ring has had a habit of taking leave from its appointed place of adornment. It had been an escapee five previous times, the first time was onto a nice dry sandy beach, once into a rock pile, a couple of times into fall cleanup debris, once a fall from the top of a ladder only to lodge between the ladder and a dock which foiled its escape into the water which was 20 feet deep. After each disappearance it was always found. This is probably the one ring that has been lost and found more times than any other ring.

This time the ring was to stay in Nantucket Sound for 2 days before it would accompany the blooming plum flowers and fresh sea air again while adorning Joe’s finger again.

The family vacation had been planned as a trip to South Carolina. Covid-19 put a halt on flying and the plans had to changed. The new plans were to enjoy the amenities on Cape Cod this would not require flights to and from South Carolina. The vacation town of South Yarmouth was chosen. What luck for the ring and Joe as I would not have been in South Carolina to retrieve the wayward ring.

Joe had the presence of mind to mentally take notice location identifying features of the beach. Each helped in narrowing the search area. I marked the sand and went into the water. I covers the first two areas directly in front of the marked area with no results. I moved about ten feet further east, again nothing. Next ten feet to the west. It was not long before I heard the sweet sound of the wayward ring. I scooped it up and walked into shore toward Joe. He thought I was giving up and needed a drink of water. True, but his daughter spotted the ring in my scoop first. Joe’s glance was second to spot the rings new resting place. A call of joy prompted by the sight of his ring, Joe signaled to his wife and son to come out of the water. They all joined in on a multitude of Thank Yous and a promises not to let the ring escape again.

Lost Diamond Ring Warwick, RI… Found After 2 Years!

  • from Stonington (Connecticut, United States)

Keith Wille – Ring Recovery Specialist. Lost your ring? Call 860-917-8947. A lost diamond ring in Warwick, RI found under a leaf pile two years later. While clearing brush, a family realized mom’s diamond ring was missing. Mom remembers having her ring on her finger early in the day but not after finishing some yard work. They checked the house and outdoor areas with no luck. They even purchased a metal detector, still no chance. Once I arrived, I quickly checked the open grassy areas first. Moving on to the wood line, I realized this search would involve some raking and brush clearing to cover the area thoroughly. Pile by pile, I cleared leaves down to the dirt and pulled old metal pieces of trash from the ground. I approached an hour of searching and ran out of possible areas the lost ring could be. I was starting to lose hope. Nearing the last leaf pile, I heard a faint signal and raked back over 12” of leaf cover. There it was, the glimmer of gold I was waiting to see. We rinsed the dirt off, and the white gold diamond ring hardly looked like it spent the last two years buried in the woods. Jim’s family was reunited with an important symbol of love just in time for Mother’s Day!

How to Find a Lost Ring

Rake any leaf cover thinly across the ground and clear any vegetation. If you have already bagged the yard debris, keep these aside to be checked with the metal detector just if the ring doesn’t turn up in the search area. Contact a professional detectorist to discuss the next steps of finding your lost ring. I serve Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and short distances into other surrounding states.

Recovering Lost Treasures: A Story of Honor, Redemption and a recovered ring at Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

Losing a wedding ring can be a heart-wrenching experience, especially when it’s lost in a restricted area like the Naval Station Pt. Mugu beach. When Michael reached out to me about his lost ring, I knew it was time to put my metal detecting expertise to work.

Securing the necessary permissions to access the beach, we met at the missile park two days later to begin the search. Despite the challenges of working in a restricted area, I remained determined to reunite Michael with his cherished possession.

Starting our hunt on the south side of the beach, I initially had no luck. However, as we shifted our grid northward, a promising tone echoed from my metal detector. With precision and focus, I dug deep into the sand and, to our delight, unearthed Michael’s lost wedding ring.

While security measures prevented us from capturing the moment with a photograph, Michael’s joy was palpable. It was an honor to assist a member of our Armed Services in recovering such a meaningful item.

To all active and retired military members like Michael, your service is deeply appreciated and never forgotten. Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice, both on and off the battlefield.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to reach out. As a professional in metal detection and ring recovery, I’m here to help you find what’s lost. Contact me at 805-290-5009 or visit www.venturacountyringfinders.com to learn more about my services.

Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered

Lose your Jewelry? Call Surf City Ring Finder  –  714-944-0555

Aaron lost his ring while tossing a nerf football with his friend down by the water. He was very distraught about his Platinum Ring falling into the ocean and had already called his wife to let her know.

When I arrived he showed me the area where they were playing and I started my search but soon Aaron said he hadn’t gone that far so I tried the other side of the search area and soon  received a nice signal on my detector.

After I dug down with my scoop I rinsed out the sand and saw a large sand crab and in the corner of my scoop was also his ring. I said to him,”look at the sand crab I found” and he looked in the scoop and was very surprised when he saw his ring.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Found Along Emerald Isle Beach

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Joe was spending a relaxing day at the beach and decided to go for a swim. Regularly, Joe removes his wedding ring and necklace and then places the ring on the necklace. His wife agreed to hold both. After placing the necklace over her head she noticed the ring was missing. The ring had buried itself next to their Sun umbrella and after we remove the metal objects in the area, I found Jose ring before he could put the umbrella down.
