She called me. Quite sad that her wedding ring set was lost while playing soccer. She had done everything she could to find it. After that she called me. Check out the video for the whole story and a great reaction. So appreciative.

It was a Friday and a wedding day photo shoot. At the end, the gift from his in-laws was gone, two hours after receiving it. It was in the grass but that is not a problem. Watch the video for the whole story.

I was at home after making an engagement ring return when Tyler called with a request to find his wedding band. Nothing special, except for the sentimental attachment, and the time of day and that the tide was rising and his ring would be under water. I suggested I search the next day during the low tide swing. All was set and I sat down for an evening meal.
Then about 9PM the urge to go and find the ring overcame me. It would be dark, but a flashlight would take care of that. At the beach I was greeted by a mass of people enjoying a bond fire. I’ll tell you the wood pallets burn hot and bright. I would have no problem seeing the drag marks I would make while doing a grid search pattern. When the fire burned down, the owner of an off-the-road vehicle turned on his blinding lamps mounted on the vehicle’s roof. The beams illuminated the beach for at least a half a mile, including the area I was searching.
The fire was about burned out and everyone was on their way home. When the spot lights were turned off and the vehicle left the parking lot. I knew it was time for me to head out myself. What was that? Why it was a signal from my detector’s earphones. What the heck, I had not dug a signal all night I might as well dig this one. Low and behold, a wedding band was laying on the overturned sand. I had found the ring in an area of less than a square foot from the massive area I had been searching. I picked the ring up, brushed the sand off and put it safely into my pocket. I continued swinging my detector and heard another signal. I had to dig this signal also. It was a coin I had never found before a 100 Colones. Neat, and into my presently empty pouch.
Back at my car I texted Tyler and drove off to home and bed for some needed sleep. It was not until later in the morning that Tyler texted for a picture to ensure it was his ring. It was confirmed and he was off to a wonderful ferry ride and a vacation day on Martha’s Vineyard and an apple fritter from the Back Door Donut Shop.
The day was winding down and arrangements were made so Tyler could pick up his ring when he was on dry land.
It was a great pleasure to meet the couple and return Tyler’s ring.
PS: Lorraine had left her rings at home to avoid any possibility of needing a Ring Finder’s expertise.
I sure hope that her actions spread, especially to those that might otherwise need help in finding a lost item.

Victoria was enjoying the warm sand and gentle sea breeze at Parker’s River Beach in South Yarmouth about 1PM when she took her engagement ring off and put it into her beach bag for safe keeping. At home a frantic search for the ring took place with no ring to be found. Conclusion: It must be on the beach as it was not at home, in the car or any other place that was searched.
Back at the beach Victoria’s brother called me and asked for help in locating the ring. Sure, and I was on my 4 mile trip to the beach and quickly started searching. Just a few minutes later I walked to Victoria as to ask her a question, not in a way that anyone would think that I had found the ring and it was in my scoop. I asked Victoria a simple question, did she see anything in the scoop. She saw the ring, reached into the scoop, took the ring from my scoop and tried to make an announcement that the ring had been found. It took a bit to vocalize that the ring had been found. But I knew that most everyone had the suspicion that the ring had been returned by Victoria’s physical response of a huge hug I had been given not a verbal announcement. Everyone on the beach then knew the news and filled the air with congratulatory remarks.
Nephew Colin got into the picture while holding the ring on his shoulder. The a photo of a very happy time on Cape Cod and plans for the wedding next year is of Robert and Victoria. As always a few stories of other returns, handing out of my information card and I was on my way home. Everything had been accomplished within a half an hour and I was super-satisfied that I had made another couple very happy and ready to enjoy more wonderful days on “Vacation Land” and on the sandy beaches of Cape Cod.
Another successful ring recovery in the books!!!
I received a call from this gentleman that he had lost is big gold ring in a sticker bush while tossing something over the fence at his storage unit. He tired to find it himself and was unable to get past the thorns.
I told him I would be there right after work today. Made the drive over and within 5 mins found his gold ring on the ground under the bush and mixed with some dead thorn leaves from the bush.

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”
As a Ring Finder for 10 years now I have come to love the thrill of being able to return precious, sentimental, sometimes valuable keepsakes to folks who thought they were lost forever! This past Saturday in Rehoboth Beach, DE I found just such a precious, sentimental keepsake! It was a Gold Class of 1962 Kings College (Wilkes Barre, PA) class ring! 1962….This ring was in the possession of someone for 64 years!!! I felt obligated and excited about the challenge of finding its owner. There were clearly engraved initials on the inside: H.F.M. I first posted a picture of the ring in the local Lewes/Rehoboth Facebook Group. Countless people contributed to ideas and strategies to track down the ring’s owner! Fellow Kings College graduates crawled out of the woodwork and put me in touch with the alumni office….Then a 1960 graduate of Kings College found those initials in a 1962 yearbook….Hugh F Mundy. Sadly, Mr Mundy passed away in 2023…what a great man. Decorated war hero and a respected and accomplished PA state judge. His obituary listed his wife and children’s names and a simple google search allowed me to track them down. It turns out Mr Mundy’s daughter, Maura, a fellow Kings College grad, had been wearing his ring every day since his passing. Maura was devastated when the ring slipped off her finger in the waves at Rehoboth Beach Friday…she assumed the ring was gone forever. I was so happy to get in touch with Maura and her mother and be able to return this ring that was beyond precious to them!
Received a call from this gentleman last night about him losing a big gold ring!
Story goes, he was fishing at a highway pond/revisor and when he casted, the ring flew off and into about 2-2.5 feet of water but got swallowed up by the sandy bottom. He and his buddy jumped in trying to find it with no luck and Brian said he would find someone with equipment to come find it. He searched via ChatGPT and it told him to go to Gold Finders where he found me!
We agreed to meet up today after I got off work.
Drove down, met him at the spot, jumped in the water and scanned around. Found three cans then BOOM his big gold ring!
HE WAS SO EXCITED!! He took to IG and recorded a video of me in the water, full gear and his ring!
Love theringfinders.com page and helping folks get their priceless items back!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”
After finding the tungsten ring near Wilkesboro I received a call from the mom of this young man that he had lost his gold wedding ring at White Lake! I said I’ll be there in 3.5 hours!
Story goes he was running to catch a football and it fell off while running to catch it. He lost the ring before he caught the football. They searched and searched for hours with no luck.
I arrive at 8:00 pm, we walk to the spot and within 20-30 mins I had found his ring.
As I’ve stated, I’ll travel anywhere to help someone find their priceless items.

While out hitting swimming holes, this gentleman lost his tungsten wedding ring in shallow water when playing with his kids.
Another guy told me he had lost it and asked if I could find it. I searched the area and it took me about 10 mins to find it.
He has it back where it belongs!
