On Friday (November 14, 2025) evening I received a call from Stacey stating a few days prior she had lost her engagement ring while walking down the back porch.  It was cold and she was trying to put on her ring while holding her son.  The ring caught on her fingernail and flew off.  She heard it hit some leaves in the yard.  It was at night, so it was dark out and she couldn’t tell exactly where it went.  We set up a search for the next morning.

I met Stacey around 9:30 Saturday morning in Athens, Alabama.  Stacey showed me exactly how it happened.  Her husband, Victor told me the ring is sterling silver.  I grabbed my Minelab Equinox 900 and started my search.  After a few minutes, a little further from the porch and behind a tarp, I saw Stacey’s ring on the ground!  Stacey and Victor were very happy and thankful to have it back.  Stacey told me that she had searched that area, but there were a lot of leaves, so I’m sure it was completely covered up when they were looking.

Thankful and blessed for another successful recovery!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless…

Citadel Military College Ring Lost Playing Disc Golf in Huntsville, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Cesar on Saturday (September 6th, 2025) just before 4pm.  He made a post in the North Alabama Disc Golf Facebook group and one of my co-workers, Rob, sent him my info.  Cesar was playing in a disc golf tournament at the Mastin Lake Course in Huntsville, Alabama that morning.  Cesar finished some practice shots and just before he threw the frisbee at the first hole, it started raining.  He used a towel to dry his hands, but they were still pretty wet when he threw the frisbee.  Right as Cesar got to the second hole and he set down his bag is when he noticed his cherished 2003 class ring from The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, was gone.  When Cesar called, I was doing some things around my house.  Mastin Lake Park is only 10 minutes away, so I told Cesar that I would change, grab my gear, and head his way.

I met Cesar just before 4:30 pm at Mastin Lake Park.  I had him show me all the areas he was at.  He told me that he really felt that his ring came off at the first hole, because it usually fits him snug and the wet hands from the rain probably caused it to slip off on the frisbee throw.  I searched the area with my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil from where Cesar was standing to the basket and extended the sides of my grid fairly wide.  No ring.  Even though Cesar didn’t think his ring came off on the practice throws, I still wanted to search that area to clear it.  No ring there.

We eventually went back to the first hole since that was where it was raining.  Cesar re-enacted the throw and he had a strong follow through with his right hand (hand with the ring) to the right side.  I began searching further out to the right than where I had before.  Cesar was walking ahead of me searching with his eyes.  A few minutes later I heard Cesar say, “oh my God” as he bent down and picked up his yellow gold Citadel class ring!!  Woo-hoo!  I immediately looked to the sky and said, “thank you, God!”  Cesar was so happy and thankful that he had his very sentimental class ring back!  He gave me a big hug.  We were both surprised at how far his ring flew.  I added two photos at the end of where Cesar was standing and where the disc golf basket was.  Cesar said his ring landed so far away and he had never looked in that area earlier in the day.  What a miracle to find it!  Praise the Lord!

Cesar and I chatted for a few minutes, took some photos, and we parted ways, headed home.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

Men’s Wedding Band Lost Wringing a Rag in Crane Hill, Alabama… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message on Sunday afternoon (August 31st, 2025) from Roger stating he had lost his gold and titanium wedding band a few weeks ago while wringing out a rag at his vacation home in Crane Hill, Alabama.  Both Roger and his wife, Dawn had their wedding bands custom made about 6-7 years ago while on a trip to Switzerland.  I told Roger that I’d be more than happy to help.  I was having family over for dinner, but told him I could come out the next morning on Labor Day.  Finding lost items is definitely not work to me (lol) and was the perfect way to celebrate the holiday!

I met Roger and his family around 9 am the next morning.  He showed me where he was standing and where he saw his ring drop.  He said it looked like it landed in the small patch of grass on top of the large rocks.  Roger was standing on the second story balcony and it was a long drop to the bottom.  The house was on a decent incline (picture below), so the ring could have easily rolled down the hill, which lead to their boat dock at Smith Lake.  I grabbed my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil and started my search.

I searched for over an hour, covering every spot by the drop zone and down the hill.  Roger’s daughter suggested that I expand my search further to the left side, because it had rained a lot over the last few weeks and she thought it may have washed down between two trees.  I covered that area all the way to the steps leading to the dock, but still no ring.  I went to the bottom of the hill by the woods and dock to make a final pass since I had searched just about everywhere possible.  As I was walking through, I suddenly eyeballed Roger’s ring sitting against the small wooden rail right before the drop off to the dock and lake!  Wow, what a miracle!!  It had rolled all the way down the hill and stopped just before the dock (picture below).  If the ring continued to roll, it may have went over the dock and into the lake!  You just never know how far rings will travel.  It was also one of the heaviest rings I have found, which could’ve caused the long roll plus the long drop from the second story balcony.  I immediately thanked God for the last-minute save!

I took some pictures and headed up the stairs to knock on the door.  Dawn and her daughter greeted me.  Dawn asked if I was going to call it.  With a disappointed face I said, “yes, going to call it and head home.”  Then I gave a big smile and said, “because Roger’s ring has been found!!”  They both said, “are you kidding!?”  I said, “not kidding, we got it!”  Then I showed them a picture.  They were so happy and said I had to say the same thing to Roger, lol, who was outside in the front.  I could tell that Roger was slightly disappointed when I said I was going to head home.  But then I smiled and told him the good news!  Smiles all around 😊 Roger gave me a couple of big hugs and thanked me profusely.

I had left Roger’s ring right where I had found it to show them where it ended up.  Roger, Dawn, and I went down to retrieve it.  Everyone was so happy and couldn’t believe it had rolled that far.  This was definitely the perfect way to spend Labor Day!

Family Heirloom Engagement Ring…. lost, but now… FOUND in Huntsville, Alabama!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee.  Call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7 at 610-504-6135.

I received a call on Friday (August 29th, 2025) in the late afternoon from Gabby.  Gabby’s engagement ring was lost the night before in the front yard at her home in Huntsville, Alabama and she was hoping I could help her find it.  Gabby and her fiancé, Matthew had bought a metal detector, but were unable to find Gabby’s engagement ring, which was a family heirloom – it was Matthew’s grandmother’s ring.  I initially suggested the next morning for a search, but both Gabby and Matthew had to work, so I said I would head out after dinner.

About an hour and a half after Gabby’s call, I headed out for the search.  I met Gabby at her home and I had her show me the area she thought her ring was lost at.  Gabby also showed me a picture of what the gold engagement ring looked like.  I told her she was welcome to go back in the house to relax and I would get to work, letting her know how the search went.  I was using my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil.  I cleared the main area in the front yard and expanded further to the right side, but didn’t find the ring.  I double checked the main area and expanded my grid to the left side.  I was a few feet from the street, when I hit a good tone and saw the outline of a gold ring emerge from the green grass.  It was Gabby’s engagement ring!  Praise the Lord!!

I snapped a few photos of the ring and went to knock on the door to tell Gabby the great news.  Both Gabby and Matthew were so happy and relieved to hear that the ring was found!  Smiles all around 😊 and the reason I do what I do!

Soldered Engagement & Wedding Rings Lost While Pulling Weeds in Huntsville, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

This past week I had a total of 6 calls for lost items, which is a higher-than-normal call volume for my area.  I conducted a search for 4 of the items (the other 2 were too far or needed a diver).  I’m happy to report that all 4 items were found!  All praise and glory to God!  He is so good!!!  Here’s the write-up of the first recovery.  Please be on the lookout for the others.

I received a text message on Monday morning (August 25th, 2025) from Ellen stating she had lost her soldered engagement & wedding rings over the weekend while pulling weeds at her mother-in-law’s (Judy) house in Huntsville, Alabama.  Ellen had taken off her rings (including a ring she wears on a finger on her right hand) and put them in her pocket.  She put her phone in the same pocket and pulled it out periodically to change songs.  When Ellen was done with the yard work, there was only 1 ring left in her pocket — the soldered engagement & wedding rings were gone.  I told Ellen I would be more than happy to help search.  We scheduled a hunt for Tuesday after I got off from work.

Ellen and her husband, Brad live in Birmingham, AL.  Ellen had to be in Birmingham on Tuesday, but Brad was back in Huntsville for the day, so I met Brad at his mother’s (Judy) house around 4:30 pm on Tuesday.  Brad and Judy showed me where Ellen had been working in the flowerbeds and another area around a tree.  They were very kind providing some bug spray and a cold glass of ice water when I asked.  Once I had my search area, I got to work with my Minelab Equinox 900.

I searched two piles of weeds, but didn’t get any signals.  I moved to the grass area in front of the flower beds and had a good hit within a few minutes of searching.  I looked down and saw that unmistakable glimmer of gold!  It was Ellen’s rings!!  I took a few pictures of what the rings looked like as is (pictures at the end).  Prior to calling me for help, Ellen and Brad had bought a metal detector and tried searching.  They had a few hits, but everything was below the surface.  They were surprised that they missed the rings, but they were fixated on another target nearby, and the detector they bought was not the best for finding rings.  Once you know the ring is there, then you think how could I miss it, but grass will easily swallow up a ring and it’s really hard or near impossible to spot with eyesight alone.

I went and got Brad and Judy and gave them the good news!  They were both so happy and gave me a big hug. Brad Facetimed Ellen and I got to surprise her with the rings and show her in real time.  Ellen was so happy, relieved, and thankful!  She told me this was a huge answered prayer.  I told her that I had been praying as well.  What an awesome feeling!  Brad and Ellen have been married for 26 years!  Thank God for another successful recovery!

As I was getting ready to leave, my truck wouldn’t start – my battery was dead!  Brad thankfully had some jumper cables and helped me get my truck started (I now have a pair of jumper cables in my truck, lol).  Huge thank you to Brad for saving me there!  I was able to get a new battery on Friday morning – just in time for a few more searches, lol…

A Love Ring’s Journey: A Beach Recovery Story

The waves lapped gently at the Ocean City shoreline as Ken made his way to the water’s edge. It was supposed to be a perfect weekend getaway with his girlfriend, soaking up the New Jersey sun and salt air. But sometimes life has other plans.

Ken had just wanted to rinse the stubborn beach sand from his hands. A simple task — until he felt that heart-stopping moment when his Cartier LOVE ring, usually snug on his finger, wasn’t there anymore. The panic set in immediately.

The couple spent frantic minutes sifting through the sand, their romantic afternoon turning into an increasingly desperate search. The ring could have been anywhere: in the soft sand where they’d been sitting, or worse, pulled away by the ocean’s persistent tide.

That’s when they remembered hearing about Ring Finders South Jersey, finding lost rings in Ocean City, New Jersey. One phone call later, help was on the way.

Within fifteen minutes, their metal-detecting expert arrived, ready to tackle the search. The first sweep of the ocean proved fruitless, but experience had taught him not to give up so easily. Moving back to where the couple had been lounging earlier, it took just a few passes with the detector. The gleaming Cartier ring appeared in the scoop, safe and sound.

What could have been a weekend remembered for loss became a story of relief and gratitude. The couple’s smiles said it all: sometimes the best moments are not the ones we plan. The ones where things work out just when we need them to.

Seattle Ring Hunter Saves 2.4 Ct Diamond Wedding Ring From An Imminent Disaster!

March 2023 As I was traveling home from a previous search I received a call from Trina at 8:45 PM on a  Friday evening. She explained she has just lost a 2.4 Ct diamond wedding ring the day before.

Last known location of ring was in her home bathroom washing it off so would sparkle more. She said I remember putting in on my finger as she was heading out of her home for event at the Seattle Rainier Club smack dab in the middle of Seattle down town.

Her husband drove her to the venue and let her out at curb side on 4th Ave. She entered the venue at 3:00 PM, late afternoon with plenty of daylight still shining. Few hours into the event she goes to the ladies restroom and takes a photo of her hair doo as she was a bit dissatisfied with her recent cut. Later after getting home realizing her wedding ring of over ten years is no longer on her finger. She reference the photo of her hair style and there is clearly no ring on her finger.

With out prompting she says I think I may have taken my ring off in the truck on the way to the venue to put lotion on my hands. I most likely set my ring on my leg. She had been wearing denim pants at the time. Often times ladies with dresses or skirts will place their wedding rings on the clothing between their legs as it makes a nice nesting spot but it all to often turns to devastation after realizing they got side tracked and forgot to collect them before getting up and leaving the vehicle. Trina tells me she believes this may have been the action for the loss as she has done this in the past! At that time she heard her ring hit the concrete and was able to pick it up off the ground.

I said it’s 50% either way in your truck or it went outside and landed on the ground. The probability after twenty-four hours in down town Seattle on the concrete is a scary thing to think about but keep the hope alive and may God’s hand of protection be upon your ring. As we wrapped up our conversation I asked a few clarifying questions. Did you look in your truck and she said yes but she was open to me searching the truck in the morning. Towards the end of the call she had already told me she had put out a high alert at the Seattle Rainier Club and they were checking for her the best they could.  I asked her if she had checked the road side yet and she told me they had not. At this point I knew I had to turn back to downtown Seattle for a quick site inspection. I reassured her with all that we know we just don’t know unless we check and time is critical. I agreed to investigate the site and having already reviewed Google street images it didn’t look promising as it was 95% concrete and asphalt everywhere! I told heI would update her on my findings and if the ring was not found I would counsel her on how to post a proper Craig’s List lost item report and we could meet in the morning to search her truck.

Watch the video to see where this 2.4 Ct diamond wedding ring is recovered just moments before an imminent disaster!
