South Yarmouth Ring Returned By Rick Browne, Smuggler’s Beach

July 8, 2026

This was to be my last search until I healed from a pending surgery. I sounded like a leisure walk in the sand. Finding a parking space in the hotel’s narrow parking lot was my first challenge then the door to the beach without shutting a door on the detector shaft or scoop. Now knowing the location of the beach a quick tip toe around other hotel stayer. Yes, the last obstacle behind me, a puzzled guest asks if I was looking for the women that had lost a ring. Of course, with that said, Kelley stood and waved.

After a few questions determined the best possible area. Six feet later one shallow scoop and the ring was on its way back to Kelley’s finger. A few pictures and a bit of information for the posting and I was on my way back home to rest up for tomorrow’s ordeal.

Unusual Engagement Ring Lost In Hyannis, MA, Found and Returned By Rick Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 5, 2026

Fourth of July was over, but not the need for some help in finding an heirloom stone in a personally designed engagement ring. Ken put it in words that I could not match, so please read on.

“My wife Annie’s engagement ring was lost after we went in the ocean to throw a football around after the extremely hot Fourth of July fun run in Hyannis Port. We only noticed a few hours later, and Annie was distraught.
Other background information: I proposed to Annie with the ring on a beach in southern England four years ago, and we got married three years ago in Hyannis Port. We live in London, but come to the Cape every year. 
It’s not your usual engagement ring – the sapphire stone was from Annie’s mom’s engagement ring, and it was passed onto me. We then designed the ring together in London, adding two diamonds alongside.”

My drive down a one lane road and wedging into a parking space were challenging. Annie, Ken and Margie met me, showed me to their private beach with two lines drawn on the sandy slope and told me the particulars of the loss. I then drew my markers about one quarter of the distance in from each of the original marks. And started a perpendicular pattern.

I heard a very deep signal and having been told of a class ring, lost about 20 years ago, I had to dig it. It was neither of the ring but rather a melted aluminum can. I kept on detecting and by the sound of the next signal in my headphone I knew I had a ring, Yes, a ring but one that I have never seen the likes of for an engagement ring. I had to go to Ken and ask if it was the engagement ring. Silly me for not asking what it looked like in the first place, before starting to search. I’ll have to remember that for future searches. Yes, it was the ring. I am so pleased I could live up to Ken’s expectations of performance.


 Rick, again thank you so much. 
We cannot express our gratitude enough. 

We found your details on The Ring Finders, and could not believe our luck that a shallow water specialist for Cape Cod was based so close by. Annie’s best friend Margie contacted you, although we were sorry to disturb you on July 4th. 

Once we read your blogs, we knew we were in the best possible hands for having any chance of finding it. 

We are so thankful. 

Kenneth and Annie

Cape Cod, Yarmouth, MA Ring Finder Found Lost Cartier Love Bracelet and Returns it

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 3, 2026

The 4th was nearing, the temperatures, both air and water, were on the rise as were the crowds on Cape Cod beaches. I was taking an Ice Tea break from chores that needed doing around the house when the phone rang. The caller, Megan, told me of a lost, very sentimental, bracelet in waist deep water and the tide was coming in. I had no choice but to go immediately and I did.

I arrived at the beach and was told of 14 coins dropped around the area where the loss occurred. I did not waste much time in the usual chat before I begin searching. I had the area pointed out, and the coins to help me zero in on the exact area to search. Over an hour of searching and I started having doubt in my detector and the area I been shown as I had not found a single coin. It had to be a faulting detector. I made a quick dash back to the car for my back-up detector. Another half hour and still no coin, the tide had crested and now was on its way out. The family crowd nearing twenty began packing up and heading home for dinner.

I was determined to find the coins dropped and the bracelet. I had been shown a matching bracelet and I knew the coins were quarters. How could I be missing that many targets? It had to be the area was further off shore than I had been told. Just before Megan left I found a quarter. I now had to stay for the tide to recede and I did. Another half hour and I had half the coins, Thinking I had located another I took a scoop and there it was the gold Cartier Love Brace and a quarter so I thought. A quarter, yes, but no bracelet. How could it have gotten out of the scoop, was I imagining seeing the bracelet? After 4 hours of getting beat by the waves my mind probably was playing a trick on me. I took another scan of the area at my feet there was another target and there it was the bracelet, but only a half a golden circle. Had I broken it in half while scooping for the target? How was I going to tell Megan? Where was the other half?

While I was continuing my search, now in chin deep water, a mother and two young children returned to the beach bringing me a Thank You note and a box of sweets for my efforts. But I was not going to leave the target area I was in until I had the other balf of the bracelet and it paid off. Two more quarters and the other half of the bracelet was retrieved and safely resting in my goody pouch. Persistence and a lower tide was all it took to almost complete the story. But first a few details of the bracelets history that Megan sent to me. Read on and you will learn why I am so persistent and one of the World Wide Group TheRingFinders.com.

Rick!

We cannot thank you enough!!!!

Added for the Cartier Love Bracelet Story: My dad passed away 6 years ago and the last piece of jewelry he bought my mom (Karen) and me were matching Cartier Love bracelets …while playing in the ocean with her grand kids one of her grandsons pointed out that he saw her bracelet fall off the side of the float they were on- all family members immediately got in the water to help her look but had no luck- I found your information online and called after about an hour … and well you know the rest!!

Good Luck with tomorrow’s engagement ring search!

Newlywed’s Wedding Band is Lost in Rough Currents And Found With Metal Detector

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Noah’s wife reached out to me saying her husband “had lost his ring at Emerald Isle and was very upset”. After getting a few details, I headed over as quickly as I could to the public access they were visiting.  When I arrived at the beach, strong waves were driving a powerful current along the sloped shoreline, and high tides were breaking over the slope, making the search tough. After a few passes in the water with no luck, I spotted Noah farther west in the water. He waved for me to try where he was, and just after he moved to shore, BAM! My XP Deus II gave a loud, clear 76 signal. The current was so strong that when I pulled my scoop from the sandy bottom, all the sand washed away, leaving only Noah’s large gold wedding band.

Large Platinum Men’s Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Joseph found me in the Ring Finder directory. The week before he was having a wonderful time  kayaking the Brandywine River in West Chester, PA when tragedy struck! He pulled to the side to assist his wife with her canoe and while doing so he heard something bang and bounce off his kayak. About 60 seconds later and 5 yards down river he suddenly realized his large platinum wedding band was missing. It was obvious that the sound he heard was his ring bouncing off the kayak and into the river. He sent his family ahead to continue down river and stayed back and searched for his ring in the 1-2 feet deep water but had no luck. He and his wife returned several times during the week with handheld pinpointer metal detectors to try to locate the lost ring. At some point Joseph’s wife suggested hiring a professional and they got in touch with me. I met Joseph on a Saturday morning (exactly 1 week after the ring was lost) and we marched upstream 10-15 minutes to the site where Joseph was positive the ring dropped. He re-enacted what occurred and gave me some accurate and detailed parameters of where he was standing when the ring fell off. I was using my Minelab Manticore metal detector with a large search coil. A large platinum wedding band has a unique booming signature on my machine…and i knew exactly what signal I was listening and hoping for. Well…its didn’t take long…10 minutes into search…BOOM…there was the signal I was hoping for. I yelled to Joseph and pointed down…I told him I like the signal. I got out my pin pointer and searched the 1 foot deep water….my pinpointer buzzed that it was hitting metal. I moved several small rocks….THERE IT WAS! I think Joseph saw it shimmering in the water before I did! We both let out a few whoops and hollers and celebrated with high fives! EPIC! So happy to come through for Joseph and get his ring back on hos finger where it belongs!!!

Emerald Isle, NC – Heather was swimming with her mother in chest deep water when she wanted to swipe some seaweed from her swim top.  Unfortunately, it was her gold necklace with 2 golden pendants attached that she snagged.  The chain broke and the charms disappeared.  Her mother posted on social media about the missing charms including a picture of a gold horn and gold cross.

After searching the area, I managed to dig up the golden horn and unfortunately after 4 attempts, have not found the golden cross.  Heather was thankful for getting the horn returned and hopefully we will meet one more time for her to retrieve her gold cross!

Lost platinum wedding ring, FOUND!

Wildwood Crest, New Jersey By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Ed the other night. Ed explained that he was on the beach in Wildwood Crest NJ enjoying some time with family and in the surf with his son tossing a football. At some point during his visit, Ed’s platinum wedding band slipped off his finger unbeknownst to him. Ed wasn’t entirely sure “when” he lost his ring but he was fairly certain that it was somewhere on the beach or in the surf. First thing, the next morning, I rode over to Lotus Ave and met Ed on the beach. Ed showed me the specific areas he was at the day before and pointed out the approximate area he was at in the surf. The tide was already about an hour and a half incoming so I checked where he had been sitting and all of the remaining wet and shallow surf. I knew chances would be much better if I searched at dead low tide so I planned on returning later in the afternoon when the tide was low. I rode back over in the afternoon, about an hour before low tide, and began searching the shallow water. After about 60 minutes of searching I managed to pull a butterfly ring and a few other coins and trash targets. About ten minutes later I swung my coil over a clean, distinct signal. After two scoops, Ed’s ring appeared from the water in my scoop! I texted Ed the good news and he immediately came back down to the beach to retrieve his ring, in total amazement! Another happy ending, another satisfied client!

Ed’s review: “Jeff found my wedding band a day after I lost it in the ocean off of Lotus Beach in the Crest. Amazing that he was able to find it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Beautiful Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Lewes, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

This nice couple was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, John Favano. Lauren and her husband were enjoying a beautiful summer day on a Lewes bay beach when tragedy struck!  Her husband was tossing a ball back and forth while standing in knee deep water when he felt, saw and heard his ring fly off and “kerplunk” into the water at his feet. After looking for quite a bit they decided to track down a professional metal detectorist…I got the call around 4 pm Saturday and just happened to be on the beach 10 minutes away! I ran over and went straight to work…after finding quite a few bottle caps and pull tabs … about 20 minutes into the search I finally got the wedding band signal I was hoping for. After several attempts to scoop the target in 2 feet of water…I finally got it into the scoop. Looking down…I raised the scoop in triumph….there on top of all the sand in the scoop was a beautiful ring! I was very happy to be able to help this awesome couple!!!

LOST 14K WHITE GOLD WEDDING SET IN RIVER NEAR MILL SPRING, NC….FOUND!!!

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSXLbgLr/

Received a text from a young lady that stated she had lost her wedding ring set (two rings soldiered together) in a river that she was tubing on Friday July 3rd and asked if I could try and find it.

I said absolutely! The water was only about 2-3 feet deep and she lost it just before some rapids. So after work, I make the 3 plus hour drive and get to the spot. Grabbed my gear and headed down the little hill towards the river’s edge to assess the area.

Once in the water, I needed to try and figure out where she was based on the text message and screenshots received. I finally found what I thought was the spot and I get a good 72 VDI ring signal! It sounded loud and on top! The only issue was it was under a big log. I rolled the log to the right and scanned again. Now I’m really getting a good signal!! I went to get my goggles because I couldn’t see with the water moving and the suns glare. As I was coming back to the spot, the same “SUNS GLARE” actually shined down and I could see a silvery/white gold circle shining!! I reached down and pull it up!

I had to drive a ways to get cell signal back, but once I did I sent her the pictures and she was very happy!

Then I had to drive an hour to their house where I met her husband at the door! I said, “I hear your wife lost some rings!” He said, “Yes!” They both couldn’t believe it was still there and I found them! (on July 8th) Needless to say he was very excited to get them back as well!

Engagement Ring Lost in the Lake-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Sydnie on Saturday the 4th and she said her friend who was down from Ohio for the 4th had lost her engagement ring in the lake right behind her house. They were floating about fifteen to twenty feet from the dock. Before I could make it over there they had to return home without the ring. I was able to get there for the search on Tuesday. I geared up for the search using my Manticore with the Gray Ghost Amphibian headphones and a sand scoop. Fortunately the water was only around 4 to 4 1/2 feet deep there. The bottom was a very shallow layer of soft mud, maybe less that 2 inches, with a hard pan of clay underneath. That made it difficult to use a sand scoop, but I made it work. Closer in to the dock there was a lot of iron and other debris that made the going slow, but as I got further away from the dock those signals were further in between. The water was deep enough that I couldn’t see the screen on the Manticore, and the lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. After about an hour and a half I was at least twenty feet away from the dock, maybe a little more, and I got the tell tale double beep low tone that was very strong. The lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. I lifted the detector out of the water to see the screen and it said 06 for the target ID. With the hard pan clay down there it took me three attempts to get the target in the scoop, but there it was, a dainty white gold ring.
