Mr John had recently lost some weight and his platinum wedding ring was needing some resizing…so off to the jeweler they went. When they got home, Mr John thought he had enough time to mow one half of the front yard so he uncovered his riding mower and started cutting. There are a couple of areas where the tree branches hang down really close to the ground and as he mowed he had to push the branches aside. An hour later, while getting a drink, he noticed his wedding ring was not on his finger and the most obvious thing he could think of was that it must have come off while he was mowing! For two days he and his wife would walk through the yard with flashlights at night or during high noon when the sun was directly overhead with hopes of spotting his lost ring. For 46 years John and his wife have been married and the thought of never seeing his ring again was very troubling. Thinking there had to be some kind of service that involved a metal detector, he went online and found theringfinders.com and one of my stories. I agreed to come out and look at John’s yard and realized right away that this would be no easy task…because John’s yard was VERY LARGE! As I listened to John explain his routine when mowing I saw the low hanging branches and figured I would check those areas first off and BINGO! On the 2nd area I heard the sweet sound of gold and saw the glint of shiny Platinum! As John bent down to retrieve his once lost and now found wedding ring…I noticed a few tears welling up in his eyes and I could not help but feel a twinge of the same emotions in my own heart! John was so happy and the relief was obvious!

Lost wedding ring in Hart Springs, Bell, Florida found by Florida ring finder Mike McInroe

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

Alexis and her husband were enjoying a fun day at Hart Springs and after jumping off of the high platform two times he realized that he still had his wedding ring on and it was feeling just a bit loose. Alexis was standing behind the railing by the edge of the jumping platform when he removed his wedding ring and handed it to Alexis for safe keeping and she slid it onto her index finger thinking it would be fine. But her husband thought it needed to be put on her middle finger so as she attempted to remove his ring from her index finger it all of a sudden popped off and dropped into the water below sinking straight way to the bottom of the spring. Alexis and her husband were stunned and after a few minutes they attempted to dive down and retrieve their now “lost ring”! It was close to 14 feet deep and their attempts were futile which made the situation even more intense…especially since they were just married not even two months ago! Alexis went online and found theringfinders.com and in the “Directory” noticed that there was no one else closer to Hart Springs that could help her and figured that maybe I could…being as I was scuba certified and in the Orlando area…145 miles away!! But when Alexis told me what happened and described how they saw exactly where the ring hit the water…I knew that there was a very, very high likelihood of being able to recover it and so we made plans to meet the next day. My dear wife accompanied me early the next morning and two and a half hours later and in a slight drizzle we met Alexis and she showed us the platform and it didn’t take me long to set up my scuba tank, 50 foot hose and diving gear and down into the water I went. I carefully grid searched a 10X20 foot area and found two rings and other items and thankfully one of the rings was Alexis’s husbands ring and to say she was relieved and thrilled…was a bit of an under statement! Come to find out Alexis’s husbands birthday was on this very day and she wanted to be able to surprise him with his “lost” ring and she told me later that it was amazing! How I thank God for allowing me to be used to be a help and a blessing to this dear young couple!

Lost diamond engagement ring in car, Sanford Florida, found by Florida Ring Finder Mike McInroe

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Sanford Florida resident Nadja texted me about a lost diamond engagement ring lost in a car and asked if I could help her. Here is her story. “Hi Mike! I found your number on theringfinders.com website and wanted to inquire about your services. I lost my engagement ring inside my car. I think it must have slipped down between the seats. We tried taking the seats out but came up with nothing. I see you mostly do grass, sand and water searches but am wondering if you are able to look in a car? This happened a few years ago in our 2011 VW Jetta. I was sitting in the back seat and I had the cup holder partition down and I was fiddling with my ring and it popped off of my finger and all I remember was it sounded like it hit something plastic and then it just disappeared! We pulled off the road to look for it but we could not find it. It wasn’t on the seat nor on the floor anywhere! We have searched several times over the years but have had no success. We are planning to donate the car this Friday since we do not use it anymore and I just wanted to give it one more try before we donate it. Just so I know I have tried all our options. I’ve always felt like it is somewhere in a crevice!”

I arrived the following day with my bag of supplies and listened to Nadja explain just what happened. I thought maybe her ring went down one of the air vents under the front seat or possibly slipped down along the front seat cracks in the carpet. Then a closer look at the cup holder arm that comes out of the back seat revealed an opening to the trunk. So I proceeded to remove everything in the trunk and searched every possible place where a small ring could hide and as I looked closer at the cupholder arm there was a small space where it hinges and I got out my handy dandy endoscope and stuck the camera with light attachment end down into the crack and immediately saw a quarter and a nickel. I had high hopes that if there were coins and gum wrappers tucked into that small space…surely a ring could be hiding there as well. I spent a good 15 minutes pushing and probing my endoscope into the corners and at every angle possible and I soon caught a glimpse of a diamond and setting and then Nadja’s lost ring came into view. Nadja’s husband came out to check on my progress and I told him that I can see the ring but that we will have to do some dismantling and he was ready to tear the back seat all apart! I removed a few screws and the cupholder came free and then it was only a matter of reaching down and picking up Nadja’s long lost ring! The young couple was overwhelmed and their joy and happiness was evident by the smiles on their faces. What a thrill it is to be able to help people in need of theringfinders special services. Have you or someone you know lost a jewelry item in a car, in the water, in the sand or grass… recently or a long time ago? Chances are it can still be found!

Lost diamond engagement ring in grass, Eustis Florida, Found!

I received a frantic call from a young lady who works as a wedding organizer and as she was pulling up to the wedding venue she stopped her vehicle to get out and forgot that she had previously removed her diamond engagement ring and set it on her lap. It was a few minutes later that it dawned on her and she immediately went back to where she parked and began desperately looking for her ring. She looked inside her car and under the seat and then started searching the grass and gravel drive way. Having only been engaged for just 2 months…she could not believe that she had lost her precious ring already and could not imagine what her fiance would say! She spent the next 2 hours on her hands and knees running her fingers through the grass and over turning the rough gravel. Then the idea of a metal detector came to her. Looking online for a “Metal Detecting Service” she came across theringfinders.com and gave me a call. I assured her that I was available and could meet her within the hour and as I pulled into the wedding venue I could see this beautiful young lady with red knees and hands and a very worried look on her face. She explained what all happened and as we walked over to where she had parked and gotten out of her car…she was gesturing and pointing to where she had searched and how difficult it was, crawling around on the gravel and then her eye caught a slight glimmer of something silvery looking and she bent down and picked up her own lost diamond engagement ring! She was stunned and we both just looked at each other and smiled. What a relief and a joy it is to be available to help someone find what they thought was lost forever and to see the happiness and peace it brings them when they get their lost item back again. I thank God for giving me another opportunity to be a blessing to someone in need!

Cocoa Beach Florida Lost gold wedding ring found by Ring Finder Mike McInroe

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Andy was visiting friends here in Cocoa Beach, Florida and after a day out fishing in the Atlantic Ocean they pulled their boat into the loading dock area and Andy decided he needed to rinse the fish smell off of his hands. So he laid down on the dock and while rinsing his hands in the warm salt water his gold wedding ring slipped off of his finger and disappeared into the depths below the dock! Of course he was shocked and immediately waded out into the water but soon realized the water was way too deep to even try and attempt a dive. Someone suggested calling a Ring Finder and they contacted Al Zenker, a local member of theringfinders.com but unfortunately he does not do deep water recoveries and he recommended they call me. I met Andy and his friends at the dock and checked the depth to be sure my Blu3 Nemo dive system would allow me to search the bottom effectively and it measured just over 10 and a half feet deep so I was good to go!

I suited up and set a PVC marker pole at the spot where Andy’s ring fell into the water. Visibility was just over a foot and as I descended to the bottom I immediately got a couple of signals. A rusty screw driver, a deep signal and then a sharp clear signal and my hand felt something round and smooth and I slipped it on my index finger. As I ascended to the surface I came out of the water finger first and watched Andy’s face. He was visibly in awe that I had actually found it and was so thankful and grateful to have his lost ring back once again!

Lost diamond engagement ring in pond, Melbourne, Florida recovered by Mike McInroe Florida Ring Finder

Anna and her fiancee were relaxing by the pool and for safe keeping she rolled her diamond engagement ring in the corner of their towel on the lounge chair. And after a nice swim they decided to lay out in the sun and her fiancee grabbed the towel off the chair and Anna’s ring went flying through a safety fence and dropped into the pond water on the other side of the fence. Stunned, she just stood there not wanting to believe what had just happened! They asked the condo management if they could use the pool skimmer net and try and scrape the ring up off the bottom of the pond but their efforts were futile. The water was at least 7 foot deep and they soon realized that they needed specialized help and after a quick search on Google they came across theringfinders.com and decided to call Al Zenker, a member of theringfinders and he came out and gave them some advice, which was to call me as I am scuba certified and live fairly close by. So after hearing Austin and Anna’s story it was obvious that a dive was required so we made plans to meet up the next day.

Most all of the small ponds in central Florida are silty and mud covered bottoms that can be very difficult to navigate and search, especially when searching for such a small item like a ring…BUT…Anna was quite sure about where exactly her ring dropped into the water and that made it so much easier. I just wanted to test the pond bottom so I walked out from shore along the cement block wall/foundation and immediately noticed the bottom was sandy and gravel mixed, which would be 100% easier to search than the mud and silt I was anticipating! Plus the blocks were stacked pyramid style with out rebar and that too made it easier to search. As I slowly descended to the bottom I started getting signals…washers, pieces of copper wire, screws and then one large target that was quite deep. And at the end of each pass of my NOKTA Pulse Dive hand held pinpointer I would go all the way to the base of the block pool foundation and that is where I heard a nice repeatable signal that proved to be exactly what I was looking for! Anna’s lost diamond engagement ring was pushed right up against the block and when I surfaced and showed Anna what I had found, she started shaking! Her emotions were running high and the feelings of relief and thankfulness were so strong she had to sit down and calm herself and let reality sink in…she had her precious ring back once again! So I thank God for leading me and using me to help and bless others!

Lost gold ring in water, Withlacoochee River, Hernando County Florida…found by Florida Ring Finder!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Bennie and his friends were enjoying the day along the Withlacoochee River swimming and taking turns swinging on a rope over the water. As Bennie let go of the rope he felt his gold ring come off of his finger and a sick feeling came over him. This was a very special ring given to him by his father 5 years ago and he has treasured it ever since. And now it had fallen into the depths of the silty river bottom! He and his friends tried diving down and feeling with their hands but the 8 foot depth and uneven bottom was more of a challenge than they could endure. Bennie called his mother and told her what happened and she went online and found Mr. Steve Thomas who is one of the Ring Finders in the West Florida area but unfortunately he only does shallow water and land searches so he recommended they call me to see if I could help them. After hearing their story I decided to meet them at the sight the following day. It was a 2 hour drive but we finally arrived and began setting up my PVC grid, my BLU3 Nemo dive system, mask, wet suit and fins. Bennie was very sure of where he and his ring fell into the water so down I went and began searching along my PVC grid that was setting on the bottom. The first 2 signals were deeper in the sand so I left them and the 3rd signal was louder on my hand held Pulse Dive unit and there sitting on top of the sandy bottom was Bennie’s lost gold ring! I really wanted to continue searching for other targets as the rope swing area was a favorite for the locals but I had noticed just before my entering the water that there was a group of people just waiting for me to finish up so they could enjoy jumping off of the tree and swinging on the rope…so I slowly ascended with Bennie’s gold ring tucked safely in my finds pouch. Bennie was intently watching me as I swam up to shore and as I smiled and gestured with a thumbs up…he began grinning from ear to ear! What a thrill it is to be able to conduct a search, find the lost item and then to return it to someone that is hurting and feeling a great heaviness and loss! And then to experience seeing them transform to happiness and joy and see more tears…only these are tears of sheer relief and thankfulness!

I always pray and ask God to help me be a blessing to each person that calls me for my assistance. How can I help you today? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk! 321-363-6029

Lost wedding ring found in front yard…Kissimmee, Florida!

A couple of years ago Collin’s wife was in their front yard getting ready to pull some weeds and decided to remove her engagement and wedding ring and put them in a small pocket in her jacket to keep them safe. She spent maybe 25 minutes doing yard work and as she was finishing up she reached into her pocket and could only find her engagement ring. That led to another 25 minutes of searching high and low but her lost wedding ring was nowhere to be found.

Fast forward two years and the nagging thought of her lost wedding ring still out there somewhere in her front yard lead them to research “How to find a ring in the grass”! They found my name and number on theringfinders.com website and after hearing their story I showed up the next day to do a search. Collin showed me the small front yard and mentioned that his wife had started pulling weeds in a small mulched area so that is where I opted to start swinging my Deus 2 metal detector. I swung my coil two times and instantly got a signal that indicated a low tone and shallow as well. I kicked some of the mulch aside and low and behold there was a small gold ring just waiting to be recovered and both Collin and I could not believe it had happened so fast! How I thank God for helping me find their lost wedding ring and for being a blessing to them in their time of need.

Olivia lost her ring in Lake Avalon early in the morning on New Years Day when her future brother in law, Enzo, put her over his shoulder and jumped off the end of the dock and into the lake!  She has had this ring for the last two years and it has her initials engraved on it.  This is her most prized possession as it is a family tradition for generations that once you graduate from high school the family gifts you a gold signet ring to celebrate your hard work and their love and appreciation for you!

Olivia wrote:  “Later that day Enzo, my future brother in law, found theringfinders information on line and gave Mike a call.  Mike did an amazing job at finding my size 2 gold pinky ring in the black mucky lake water.   He managed to find it in less than 8 minutes!  He was super kind and a very personable guy.  I am so thankful for him coming out and saving my most prized possession.  I really didn’t think I was going to see it again.  I would definitely recommend him to get the job done!”

Lost ring in the grass in Longwood, Florida…found with a metal detector!

As the weather cools here in sunny Florida, it seems like even the critters are looking for ways to stay warm and as Sean attempted to chase an insect out of his front door and into his front yard, he felt his gold wedding ring slip off of his finger and in a second it just disappeared.  He just knew it couldn’t have gone too far but the more he searched the more he realized he needed a metal detector.  His first attempt at renting and using a cheap detector proved more frustrating than helpful and all he was left with were holes in the grass and a bill for the rental.  And then he came across theringfinders.com web site and after reading a few of my recovery stories he decided to give me a call.  The next day I met Sean and he explained what happened while showing me the exact area he was standing when he lost his wedding ring.  I set up my Deus 2 metal detector and began my first sweep along the driveway and as I returned up towards the front door I got a clear medium tone just behind a small Christmas sign decoration and as I probed with my pin pointer I could barely make out Sean’s lost gold wedding ring.  Sean could not believe it was there…so close…yet so well hidden in the fading winter grass.

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