Branford Point Beach CT Platinum diamond ring returned from the ocean August 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Vanessa and Jacob had been visiting a neighborhood beach and while playing pass with a football she noticed her platinum diamond ring had slipped off her finger. They started searching in the water to no avail. They went out and bought a metal detector and came back in the evening to look for it. After finding just a hair clip they did a search for ring finders. My name came up and they gave me a quick call to inquire about my services.

During the conversation she mentioned that her husband had been a former student. That’s a small world!

I came right away at 9:00 am since they had tickets to a basketball game and needed to leave the area by noon.

They had placed a rock at the suggestion of a kind lady on the beach as a marker to where they had noticed the ring was missing. The entire area was about a thirty-yard stretch of beach and knee to waist deep water. I gridded the area very thoroughly and could not get a solid target. They needed to leave and were still hopeful because I told them that I was committed to finding this ring and for them to pray. They very concerned that it might now be lost.

Since I know in excitement of the moment judging distances can be difficult and rings are seldom found where you expect them to turn up.  I widened the search area and since the tide had gone pretty far out started detecting the wet sand. A solid platinum level signal echoed in my headphones, and I exclaimed to everyone in ear shot that I had found the ring we had been looking for during the last 3 hours.

After a quick call to catch them before they left for the game they excitedly came back to the beach and were absolutely astonished that the ring was only a few feet from the placement of the lucky rock. They decided they also wanted to keep the rock as a memory of the day. The special lady on the beach saved the rock to give to them. we plan to get together again to reenact the moment and share the excitement of the recovery for their family and friends.

Misquamicut CT Platinum and gold heirloom wedding ring out of the surf July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

John started the day having fun at Misquamicut and body surfing in the large waves that are pretty typical of this location. He suddenly felt the gold and platinum wedding ring slip off his finger and into the surf as he was washed forward with the wave. At that point he considered it to be a hopeless and lost cause. But some friends encouraged by my recent finds that had been posted on Facebook contacted me with the details of where he was in the surf at the time and gave me a pretty good place to start.

After a short gridding pattern and an adjustment for the tide and reported location that his friend had shared with me, the next solid signal resulted in his gold ring in the scoop. I went over to everyone on the beach to tell them the good news.

I then facetimed his wife who could not believe it and, in her amazement, expressed the joy that her prayers were answered. I teased John by sending him a picture of the ring and astounded he asked how his ring was now out of the surf and in my hands. He admitted he had given up all hope. I could feel the joy over the phone and his renewed faith in the prayers that his wife and others had shared.

A miracle in the surf praise prayer and glory to God to grant their wishes. When I met him at Dunkin donuts to give back his ring, he treated me to breakfast and honored me with a wonderful rosary from Assisi and a beautiful ceramic Saint Anthony medal. I also gave him two Saint Anthony medals for his wife and for their friend that had given me some really good directions and a lead as to where to start in the surf.

NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, NC                                                                            By Crystal Coast Ring Finders
Adam’s wife shared a heartfelt plea on social media, asking for help in finding Adam’s wedding band, which had been lost in the water. By the time I had enough information to begin the search, they had already returned to Ohio. They estimated the ring was about 40-50 yards out from the beach, and my search confirmed they were right. After covering a span of five houses while water hunting, I finally hit a good signal. As I lifted my sand scoop from the waist-deep water and the sand sifted out, there it was—Adam’s ring nestled among a few shells. Some ladies watching my gear from the shoreline were amazed when I found it. Adam’s ring was one of two white gold wedding bands I recovered that day. I mailed his ring back to Ohio and waited for a photo of Adam with the ring back on his finger. Though Adam had some bad luck, falling ill after the vacation, he was healing when his son captured the moment of his dad wearing the ring again. I’m grateful to the family for trusting me to recover and return such a meaningful item!

Pictures From A Day At The Beach Leads To Lost Gold Wedding Band Being Found On Very Wide Beach

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

Emerald Isle, NC

Anne messaged Crystal Coast Ring Finders. She explained she may have lost a gold ring on the beach. She removed her ring and placed it in a backpack. They used the backpack to bike ride a few miles up to a nearby park. The next morning, I met Anne very early and we proceeded to the location. Anne lost the ring two days prior and tried to locate the ring while raking the sand surface the day after she lost it. Upon arrival, I could still see where she searched and started my hunt over that area. Unfortunately, I did not find anything except a few pieces of garbage metal. I asked Anne if anyone took any pictures of the area and this was the key to figure out exactly where they had set up during the beach visit. I began searching more to the Southwest. My XP Deus II locked onto a very loud signal. Seconds later, Anne’s custom made green gold wedding band was back in the sunlight.

Thank you Mabel (Anne’s young pup) for the assistance and entertainment!

White Gold Wedding Ring Lost At The Kids Park. Braeside St. Albert

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Sebastian contacted me, requesting my assistance in locating his wedding band, which he had inadvertently lost a few minutes prior to our conversation. He informed me that he was present with his two daughters at the park, where he was pushing one of them on the swing. Suddenly, he felt his ring slip off his finger and into the sand, becoming invisible.
Sebastian diligently searched the area he believed his ring had landed, but unfortunately, he was unable to locate it. Fortunately, I was only five minutes away from his current location. I promptly informed him that I would be there shortly. Upon meeting Sebastian, within a few minutes, his ring was miraculously returned to his finger.

Harwich, MA Ring in the Sand, Found and returned by Richard

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

August 3, 2025 I was arriving at a beach for a search for a lost handmade ring for a woman named Amanda. As I pulled into the parking space I was aware of a woman looking a bit lost sitting in a depression in the beach’s dry sand. I was sure that had to be Amanda. As we started a conservation it was evident that the person was not Amanda. She told me that her name was Busra and she had been helping Amanda, who was around the corner of the sand dune. But why are you so sad for Amanda, I can find her ring. No, I thought that I could see how far her ring would sink into the sand if I dropped mine. And she had an hour or so ago. By now Amanda had shown up and was ready to have me search for her ring.

I took about 30 seconds before leaving Busra to scoop her ring from its sandy resting place and give it back to Busra. Then it was off to look for two, not one more ring. See Amanda’s blog on how that went.

As for Busra, she followed us around to the other side of the dune to watch me searching there. During the minute or so and for some time before I showed up at the beach the two women became close friends and I think their friendship will last a long time because of the entire ordeal of having lost a ring, helping each other find their ring(s) together and how they helped each other. I on the other hand am just grateful to three wonderful women: Elise, Amanda’s mother for passing the information about TheRingFinders.com onto her daughter, Amanda for contacting me and to Busra for making such a memory happen.

Harwich, MA Rings in the Sand, Found and returned by Richard Browne

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

August 3, 2025 Amanda’s mother was there when she needed help. She knew of TheRingFinders and specifically me and that I could and would help. A call came from Amanda and from our conversation I knew I had to help and respond fast to her situation. She was on the beach with a lost ring, one her goldsmith faience’ had made for her. My luck was with me as the loss had taken place on the dry sand section of a close by beach. A quick check of my van for all the equipment that would be best for this recovery was in order. On such a beautiful summer evening, my wife joined me in the trip to the beach.

Now here is were things get interesting. I pulled into a parking space and thought I saw Amanda, sitting in a large depression in the sand. I walked over and introduced myself, but to my surprise it was not Amanda it was Busra and she had been helping Amanda look for the lost ring. Come to find out Busra had lost her engagement ring in the process. (see my blog on what happened next).

As Busra and I were talking Amanda came from around a dune and we were off to find the ring I was called to locate. Amanda explained what had transpired since the she lost her TWO rings, not one. Both were handmade for her. We arrived at the area which some 30 people had helped in the search. One helper even went home and brought back a rake and raked the entire area that the rings may be in.

I started on one edge of the boxed area that had been raked. Pass one, nothing. ¾ along the second pass the first signal I got I knew I had a ring. But after the first scoop, I thought I missed the target and took a second scoop. I looking into the scoop and called Amanda over to retrieve her rings. She only took the bright gold ring from the scoop and with great enthusiasm showed the ring to the other on the beach. She than asked I could find her second ring. I pointed into my scoop, she came back, looked into the scoop and with tears in her eyes took the second silver ring out and put it on her finger.

A few tears and many hugs followed by pictures being taken. If you have not already read Bursa’s story, you will see that she has joined in with Amanda’s celebration of having her rings returned. I believe there will be a long friendship because of the losses and returns that occurred on the beach this evening.

Falmouth, MA Lost Wedding Band Takes a Long Way Home by Richard Browne

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

July 23, 2025: Cyndy reported a ring was lost at Megansett Beach in North Falmouth. Her son-in-law had lost it along the water line about at high tide. Cyndy said “I could meet you any time on Friday.”
It was high tide when he lost it and he was in chest deep water at the time. The tide goes out far enough that at low tide it is only a few inches of water deep if that. It was inland of where the seaweed begins and between the rock jetty that runs perpendicular to the pier. I was happy with all the location information.

The story to this point:
As several people that loose a ring on the beach do, they borrowed a metal detector. Many of which can not handle the salty environment of a salt water beach, let alone to be waterproof so as not to destroy the electronics. And of course is the lack of experience in tuning and using a detector. Five hours of searching the search was called off and a call to TheRingFinders.com, and I received the call just as I was leaving my home with two other metal detectorists to search for another man’s wedding band. Plus there was one more ring lost at the far end of Cape Cod that I had on my list to go and find. Anyway it was not until the next morning’s low tide that I made my way to Buzzards Bay to meet up with Cyndy.

Friday morning and I was almost at the beach and a text came to me; “I’m here standing by the pier I have a black flowered dress on and I’ve saved you a place to park.” Sweet words this time of year with everyone wanting a parking space.

Boots on, detector and scoop in hand, my rings left with my wife and it is off to find a white gold wedding band. The band was lost as Zack was doing hand stands. Cyndy was watching and had the presence of mind to note the exact location on the beach where the ring slipped off her son-in-law’s finger.

Back to the hunt:
I was shown the rocks, seashells that looked a lot like the ring, and the seaweed which was to the outer most point the handstands were made. About eight swings later and an iffy signal was heard as the coil passed over the bottom of the beach’s slope. It took two shallow digs after not seeing the ring until I tilted it to eject some of the shells. As I did, one shell was hiding the ring and both Cyndy and I saw the ring heading back into the water. A third scoop and with much more caution I captured the ring and gave it to Cyndy. Lots of Thanks, a picture of the ring and a promise to have Zack send me a picture of Smiles when he received it half way across America.
And he did.

Diamond Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Trevose, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Tyler was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder John Favano. He contacted me after his diamond/gold wedding band came up missing after washing his car in his front yard in Trevose, PA. He searched the grass for hours himself…even purchasing a metal detector before deciding to call in a professional. It just so happens I was in that area for work and I never leave home without my trusty metal detector in the car. He called at 3 pm….I was at his home at 5 pm. While his friend and neighbor Gary cheered me on (Tyler was at work) … I began my search. A gold band on the surface has a very unique signal on a metal detector….I also set my machine for “gold only”. I was at it for about 5-10 minutes…lots of signals but not the one I was listening for. All of a sudden there it was…the signal I was looking for. Before even bending down I told Gary….there it is. I bent down and dug around in the deep grass….and yes there it was!!! I immediately texted Tyler a pic of his precious ring and got a immediate reply “INCREDIBLE…THANK YOU SO MUCH!” I was very happy to come through for Tyler!!!
