Akshay was visiting Bluffer’s Beach in the east end of Toronto.
He was assisting with the lines for the volleyball net, went to wash his hands and afterwards noticed his precious 22k gold wedding band was missing!
I met with Akshay very early morning 2 days later and we were lucky to find his ring within 5 minutes!

Got a call Saturday from Karen about her husband Victors ring, that was lost in the sand in Beach Haven on LBI. I met them at 5AM Sunday, but had no luck in locating the ring. Victor was positive the ring had fallen off his chair when he was applying sunblock, so I decided to go back Monday afternoon. After a short while, and with the help of lifeguards Grace, Maggie, and Kyle, the ring was located and returned to Victor.
After 2 weeks away from his lost wedding ring, this couple had found me on the ring finders site. He had been in waist water off the beach where his wedding ring slipped off. There had been a number of windy days and big waves so I told him not to get his hopes up too much, but for sure we would give it a go. A beautiful day presented itself, and we were off to the beach. While 20 minutes into my search pattern, I received the signal, and the only signal! After a few attempts digging with my scoop, the ring came up from deep in the sand in all its glory! It was a great find, and a great day on the beach!
Lost a ring?
Just a call away!

I received a call from Tony’s wife Blyss about his lost wedding band in North Wildwood, NJ. He placed the ring on his knee before applying sunscreen and forgot it was there. It fell off his knee and disappeared in the sand as soon as he stood up. I met the couple on the beach and the ring was found in less than 30 seconds.

A morning call from Daniel came with the hope that I could find his wedding ring, which had slipped from his finger into the surf the previous evening. I met him at the beach a half hour after his call and he explained that he felt the ring fall off in chest deep water, near low tide. He had made good visual notes as to where he stood with respect to landmarks. He and companions had actually returned to the spot with goggles and tried to find the ring in the sandy gravel bottom, but to no avail.
The morning tide was about the same level as when the ring was dropped the previous evening, so I waded out and set a small buoy in chest-deep water where Daniel thought the ring would be. I began my search from there and made a half-dozen swaths parallel to shore, working back and forth past the buoy. Then bingo! that lovely ring tone… One scoop, a good shake to wash the sand out, and I could see Daniel’s ring nestled in the gravel. I dumped the gravel and left the ring in the scoop as I waded ashore. Daniel walked down to the waterline, looking rather puzzled (he later said he wasn’t sure if I’d found something or was giving up!), but he was delighted when he saw his ring in the scoop. He was just about right on with respect to the ring’s location, as I found it only 15-20 feet from the buoy. I wish all recoveries were so easy!
Thanks Daniel, for tracking down the RingFinders and giving me the opportunity to recover your ring. Have a great summer!
Sebastian took his ring off to apply some lotion, and forgot about it until later when it was time to leave. He had been paddle boarding that afternoon too, so, it could have been in the water or dry sand….he just couldn’t remember for sure if he put it back on at one point or not. He and his parents Ed and Karen sifted and raked through the dry sand for hours, all the way down to the water’s edge and couldn’t find it. In talking with some other folks there at the beach, a suggestion was made to find someone with a metal detector to help locate the ring. An online search brought them to TheRingFinders.com site where they got my contact info. I received the call at about 8pm and made arrangements to meet Ed and Karen at 8:30pm. We found each other easily at the parking lot and made our way over to where they had been camped that day. When they told me it was a silver ring, that put a smile on my face as those are a lot easier to find on a trashy beach than a gold one. This wasn’t just any dime store silver ring though! It was custom made by Sebastian’s grandfather who has since passed away. Sebastian was devastated losing it, so this just had to be found. Ok, man’s silver ring…..that should be a nice high conductor sound…..like a quarter (30 reading on my Equinox). On the first pass, that’s what my first target was, a 30, Alright, found it right away….not! Just a quarter like my machine told me. Drat, or words to that effect when his ring wasn’t in the scoop! I continued all the way to the water, made a return pass to the top of the slope, and started down the next pass only hearing low conductors, when I got a 19 on the display. Hmm, not likely it’s the ring, most likely a crusty zinc cent, but, it was high enough to scoop anyway. Well, no one was more surprised than I was finding his beautiful silver ring in the basket. Ed and Karen were over the moon with appreciation for getting this family heirloom back. Karen put the ring on her finger, took a photo, and texted it to Sebastian. All he texted back was OMG over and over again. Just as we were all done and ready to leave, the fireworks started across the bay at SeaWorld. An appropriate celebration on a successful recovery! A pleasure to meet you, and thank you for the reward.
Dhawal & Khushi we’re visiting the beautiful Sibbald Point Provincial Park on the shores of Lake Simcoe for the very first time last Saturday!
Dhawal had applied sunscreen all over as well as his hand area. The group headed into the water, talking photos, swimming and splashing about. Dhawal then noticed his 22k engagement band was missing!
Another Ring Finder Stephane was called and re-directed Dhawal to me. I discussed with Dhawal that I needed Parks permission and proceeded to apply in writing as directed by the Parks Superintendent. We immediately heard back and we’re ready to attend the location after work!
Luckily the waters were calm on Lake Simcoe, started grid searching back and forth moving easterly. Found a pair of prescription reading glasses which I notified Parks office in hopes to return them to their rightful owner.
After a Parks Ranger stopped by and checked my credentials, 3 minutes later I had a solid 34 on the new Nokta Legend at 4” to 6” inches down! Then it was surprise time!!

Dhawal & Khushi we’re thrilled to have this incredible 10 gram 22K gold engagement ring back we’re it belongs!
James was enjoying the evening surf in chest-deep water when he realized that the platinum wedding band he’d been wearing for 15 years had gone missing from his hand. An online search for help turned up The Ring Finders and in a short time I received a call. I met him at the beach a half hour later to see what could be done.
Unfortunately the ring apparently had been lost in chest-deep water on an incoming tide, and the tide was now at neck-deep max. The wind was kicking up waves of 2 feet or so over the sand bar where he thought the ring might have been dropped. I didn’t have high hopes for a recovery in those conditions but wanted to give it a try before the ring started to work its way down into the sand. After 45 minutes of riding the waves and being lifted off the bottom, I admitted that no matter how much ‘fun’ I was having I was on a fool’s errand, so I returned to shore. We discussed other possible places where the ring might have been lost — in the dry sand where James had been ball playing, or near the water’s edge where he had a little tug of war with his daughter. I covered these areas carefully with no luck and finally had to give up when it was too dark to see.
James and his family were leaving the next morning to return home to New Jersey, but I told him that I’d come back again at low tide that afternoon and resume the search. Given the uncertainty about where the ring was lost I didn’t feel too optimistic but I was eager to try. The next day proved to be beautiful, with low wind, sunshine, and relatively calm seas. I started by gridding the nearshore area where the tug of war took place, then did a swath along James’ likely path when he went out to the sand bar. Gridding on the bar yielded no targets at all until I found an inexpensive charm bracelet after a half hour or so. Then another half hour went by without a single signal until… a nice strong tone that was either a bottle cap or a ring came through the headphones. One scoop and a good shake to clear the sand, and James’ ring was in hand!
I contacted James and needless to say, he and his family were thrilled to hear that the ring had been found, despite seemingly difficult odds. His wedding band is now in the post on its way home. Thanks James, for giving me the opportunity to help out and ultimately produce another Ring Finders success story!
James’ platinum ring.
Big smiles from James and his wife Jo.

I received a call from a young lady who had lost her diamond engagement ring and her diamond wedding band but the only thing was she did not know where she lost them. This is when you have to ask a lot of questions to narrow down the search area, one thing that stuck in my mind was she was at the lake in Mission but did not remember ever taking her rings off. She went on to talk about watching her kids and her friends kids while she was at the lake, I asked her if she put on suntan lotion and she said yes, on her kids and herself. In my experience it’s very common when mothers are at the beach looking after kids and that’s all they think about, so I wanted to go and search the area she was sitting on the beach. The kicker was the rings had been lost for almost one week, the good thing was at this particular lake they do not permit people to detect there without permission.
We got the permission and headed down to the lake with high hopes but also realistic to the fact that these rings could’ve been lost in several different places, this would be a closure search so she could rest assure it wasn’t there and start the search in other places around her house maybe her vehicle. These rings meant absolutely the world to this young lady and after talking to her for a few minutes I could tell how bad she felt and how she also came to the realization that she may never see these rings again.
She took me to the area she was sitting at and within only a few minutes I found the first ring! I gotta tell you I’m as excited as the person I find it for, I absolutely love what I do and how it affects peoples lives in such a beautiful and positive way. The second ring was only a few feet away and the day was a success! It took an hour and a half to get there and less than three minutes to find her smile!

Kim contacted me on July 14th after receiving a referral for me on a local Facebook group. Over the 4th of July weekend, her son and family were playing soccer at our local high school. Her son put his ring on his gym bag during the game, but forget the ring was on there when he went to pick up the bag to leave.
Kim and her family tried searching for the ring themselves, even renting a metal detector and searching the field. Unfortunately, as the holiday weekend came to an end, her son and his wife had to travel back home, without his ring. As the search continued and the ring was nowhere to be found, Kim posted in a local group for help.
I met Kim and her husband at the soccer field where they showed me the area they believed the ring was lost 10 days earlier. I began my search and found the ring in 20 minutes.
I gave the ring to Kim and her husband and they couldn’t believe it was recovered. They immediately Facetimed their son to give him the good news!
Thank you, Kim and family for entrusting me to locate the lost wedding band!
