Cahoon Hollow, Wellfleet Mass Handed Down Lost 14 K Gold Engagement Ring / Wedding Band
Kiera called me yesterday, with a little doubt in her voice, about a ring that was lost by her sister in the surf. Kiera’s sister Julia had just lost her engagement ring at the beachcomber, at Cahoon Hollow Beach, in Wellfleet, MA she said it was down in the surf where she was dragged out over the rocks, she got swept up, and pummeled in the current, and suddenly realized her ring was gone. They looked for over an hour as the surf was crashing them all over the area. Frantically they were not sure where to turn. Kiera said that the Lifeguard had mentioned that there were a couple of local guys that have found rings there in the past, that she should try them. Sure enough she googled Lost Ring and Richard Browne and My name showed up. Kiera wasted no time and got in touch with me through texting. I immediately called her back, I had her send as many pictures with reference points as possible. She said it was strait down from the sign in the picture, and in knee deep water.
Luck was on her side the next day, the water was not crashing as it was the day of loosing it, and the wind was off shore. Rick & myself got there about an hour before the low tide, 15 seconds into the hunt, I found the beautiful double welded ring, I put it in my pouch for safe keeping till Julia showed up. Needless to say we were all smiles when they showed up, she was very happy to hear that we were successful in recovering it for her. It was a ring that was passed down through a couple of generations. No words can express their heartfelt Thank You. Another great recovery for The Ring Finders.

Diamond Wedding Rings Lost Two Months Ago Found In Morehead City Waters
Amanda explained to me, two months ago, her daughter had cut her foot in the waters of a small Morehead City, NC beach. During the excitement, Amanda had taken off her long sleeve coverup shirt to wrap her daughters food on the beach. She told me that is where she thought her rings were pulled from her finger. She explained she had a group with metal detectors come out the July 4th weekend to help locate the missing rings. It wasn’t until a friend had heard about The Ring Finders on a radio broadcast and this lead Amanda to contact Crystal Coast Ring Finders. My first attempt was to thoroughly search the beach and shallow water. This beach was full of various garbage, mostly aluminum which is a nemesis to detectorist. My second day attempt was planned so that it would be during a low tide and more importantly, early enough in the morning that nobody would be in the way of my search. I arrived at 6am, just before it was getting light enough to see. I began a search from beach to water and back. Each time I would go in just above knee deep water as Amanda told me it happened at low tide that day and the deepest she went was knee deep water. I must admit my doubts of finding the rings lost in a public area 2 months prior were in my mind. I also knew if I don’t try all possible areas, I wouldn’t be assured I tried my best. The waters still produced a large amount of aluminum and each time I would try to scoop the target and dump it into my floating sifter. I was in an area with multiple targets around me when I dumped a scoopful and was about to dig again when I glanced over to see Amanda’s wedding band laying in the basket. I was in knee deep water at the time. The very next scoop raised her beautiful engagement ring!
Amanda was very close by and I called her just before 8 am to ask her to come down and help me narrow my search area because of the numerous garbage items I was digging. Amanda showed up with her daughter and at one point when she looked away, I held out both of her lost rings. She looked back and noticed in disbelief her rings in my hand. It is moments like this that make me proud to return items that have so much meaning!
Never Ever Give Up ! Falmouth, Cape Cod Mass Engagement Ring
White Gold Engagement Ring
Two weeks ago Rick got a call from Jill, we got together the very early next morning. There was a Hurricane coming that next evening, and time wasn’t on our side. Together we do searches, for quite a few people each year. we really wanted to get this one back to the owner fast, she was newly engaged. This Engagement Ring is very sentimental to Jill. Well after chatting with Jill about where it was lost, and how deep of water, and being hit by a wave, she swore it was just rite there in shallow water on the slope. After 6 hours of search time between both of us, we finally gave in to the thought of it not being found that day… Maybe after the storm? We had also had thoughts of someone else finding it the night before, we had seen some scoop areas on the beach. We had also found out it was posted on local media. Was it found already?

10K White Gold Ring
Rick called me last night two weeks had passed, Rick said lets give it another chance. Success today? Rick and I went rite down to the same spot where we were told it was lost two weeks earlier…. Nothing again after an hour. I said this is crazy, so I wandered over the other side of the Jetty, and as soon as I got into the water, 50 feet down the beach, and knee deep just as Jill said, one lonely signal and there in my scoop it shined like it was lost an hour ago. Wow I couldn’t believe it myself. I went back over to Rick, yelled Game Over! He said what? I repeated it multiple times till he came out of the water, he looked down at my Caribiner. He said I cant believe you found it way over there… I chuckled, and said it was exactly where Jill said it wasn’t… LOL After getting back to the truck we called Jill, and I told her I may have something that belonged to her, she asked if I had it… I said yes I believe so, and said can you meet us at the beach. Her reply was I’m on my way, see you in fifteen minutes. As you can imagine, she just couldn’t believe it until it was back on her finger. Sometimes, a Margarita girls night out can make you forget exactly where it was when you last seen it… Bottom line is that it’s back home where it belongs… Congratulations Jill
Ring lost at La Jolla found
Charles and his wife Yolanda were spending the day at a small beach in La Jolla when a ball flew down from the cliff up above and landed close to where they were sitting. Charles grabbed the ball and while throwing it, his rose gold wedding band flew off and into the dry sand. He search for quite a while without success. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. I gathered my gear and headed to their location. I was even lucky enough to find a parking spot fairly close to where they were. Charles met me up on the cliff and we proceeded to the search area. Maybe 2 minutes later, I get a solid 20 on my Equinox and I mentioned to Charles that it’s probably a zinc cent, or, it could possibly be his ring if it was big enough. Sure enough, it was plenty big! A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.
Lost Ring Morristown NJ… Found!
Adam called me looking for some help finding his platinum wedding band which he lost about a week and a half ago. His 4-year-old son had asked to see the ring in the house, but then went out in the backyard and ran around. Needless to say, the ring fell off while he was out in the yard and was lost in the grass. We made plans to meet the next day at his house to search the yard. I started my search close to the house and made grid lines with my feet. About 75% through the yard, I got a solid 16 showing at a depth of 1 shovel on my Equinox 800. Sure enough, there was the ring. It’s always a great feeling to be able to find and return a ring! And, it’s even better when it’s a person as nice as Adam and his family! 🙂
Lost and Found 14k engagement ring, Green Bay, WI
I received a call and message from Somer the afternoon of Saturday, October 30th, 2020 (Halloween mind you) sharing she lost her engagement ring in the front yard of her residence. She explained to me the night before friends were over for a social gathering. Somer mentioned she took her ring off to show one of her friends. The friend gave it back while Somer was getting her mail from the mailbox during the evening hours. She decided to put the ring on the mail instead of back on her finger. Well, the ring fell off the mail into the grass (so she strongly believed and thought!) Somer and her fiancé, Nate, spend a better part of the day on their hands and knees looking for ring without success. So, I took my trusty CTX 3030 and began swinging my machine with a small coil since there was a lot of targets in the yard and very close together. My first target rang up “gold” and on the surface…Somer was excited thinking and believing it was her ring…I did too…wrong!!…just under the eyesight of the grass, up popped a nickel. Both Somer and I were thoroughly disappointed. I continued detecting and digging anything that was noting on my machine 2” or less knowing and expecting a surface find. While I was doing my part searching the grass meticulously and the path Somer took from the mailbox to the garage, Nate was meandering on the road near the mailbox, he saw the ring near a manhole cover…right out in the open. None of us have any idea how the ring found its way from the mailbox on the street and not on the grass. Though, I did not find the ring directly, I’d like to believe I shared in the success of rescuing. Ring found and put back on Somer’s hand. She was ecstatic and was a team effort to find. We wish Somer and Nate many wonderful future memories in the years to come. Somer was uncomfortable having her face posted. GB Ring Pic 103020
Heirloom Wedding Ring lost while swimming in the ocean recovered.
The long day began with a 4AM wake up and two hour drive to catch the first ferry out to Little Cranberry Island, Maine. My objective to search for and recover this heirloom diamond wedding band which had originally belonged to the owner’s Great Grandfather. The ring was lost over a week earlier on Friday the 13th while swimming at Sand Beach, the day before his vacation ended, he returned home thinking the ring was gone forever. A friend recommended he look for a Detectorist online, where he found my page on The Ring Finders site and gave me a call. The search took about 7 hours during which the 10 foot tide rose and then partially receded, ending with a successful recovery. On a side note, since this beach frames a working harbor my rusty nail, pull tab, bottle cap and unidentifiable metal shard collection grew significantly during the hunt for this ring. A portion of the generous reward received will be donated to the Mid-Coast Leos (sponsored by Camden Lions Club) to help with their community service projects, which I am blessed to part of as a Leos Advisor.
Lost Diamond Ring During Atlantic Beach Gathering Found With Good Timing
Jo Ann was brought out to Atlantic Beach for a family photo shoot and to spend time with her family. Her great grand kids had gathered sand & fiddler crabs in a bucket. Jo Ann put her hand into the bucket of sand, water & crabs when one of her rings slipped off into the bucket. It wasn’t until after the bucket was dumped back into the oncoming surf that it was discovered, one of her rings was missing. A friend and I were just walking onto the beach to help remove some of the metal garbage laying under the sand when a family member approached us and told us of the situation. After a few passes, the ring was found in the sand under the shallow water. It took about 5 minutes. We walked up to where they were sitting and none of them had realized we had found her ring. They started to thank us for searching thinking were didn’t find the ring when we presented the ring. They were very thankful but on a tight schedule so we made the return as brief as possible and we went back to cleaning the beach.
Unearthing Memories: The Tale of Aaron’s Lost Wedding Ring at Silver Strand beach Oxnard
Dave MacDonald Finds Lost Ring in the Sand at Silverstrand Beach
Last week, Aaron texted me a desperate plea: his Palladium wedding ring had slipped into the ocean’s sandy depths at Silverstrand Beach near Oxnard Beach. As Dave MacDonald Ringfinder, a proud member of The Ringfinders at davetheringfinder.com, I specialize in recovering a lost ring in the sand across Hollywood Beach, Mandalay Beach, and beyond. A week had passed, but I knew the challenge—daunting yet doable—was mine to conquer.
Timing is everything for lost ring in the sand recoveries. A -1.0 low tide on August 21st offered hope, so I hit Silverstrand Beach before dawn. With Aaron’s approximate location and my metal detector, I gridded the wet sand—a method perfected at Port Hueneme Beach and Ventura State Beaches. Darkness cloaked Oxnard Beach’s shores, but my resolve shone bright. Hours in, a sharp signal cut through—a glimmer of promise. Scooping the sand near Mandalay Beach-like tides, I found it: Aaron’s ring, gleaming in my scoop.
Dawn lit up the victory. Aaron’s gratitude echoed from Hollywood Beach to Ventura State Beaches, proving why I’m the go-to for lost ring in the sand recoveries.
