With the recent snow fall in my town, I knew that cold snow covered hands lose rings. So it was no surprise when Bryan and Cypress contacted me about Bryan’s wedding ring. It had snowed 3-4 inches yesterday. Although at 8pm last night while it was still snowing, I dawned my snow bibs and boots and head lamp and headed to a paid parking lot downtown. Bryan’s directions and pictures gave me a good idea of where he was parked. Which was great but there was also two big pickup trucks parked in the same area. That along with a few metal strips attached to the asphalt in the parking lot, I thought maybe his ring was under the trucks or too close to the metal to be found. However I kept swinging around, I was in a paid parking lot and hadn’t paid. So when I saw the parking lot attendant walking around checking cars I knew I had better explain myself. He told me good luck finding it in the snow and went on about his work. Well I knew better and watched him walk over to my car. Again I walked over too him and told him that was my car, he gave me a thumbs up and walked away. I, being a window cleaner and seeing how these parking lots work I knew I better make sure my car was not going to end up with a ticket. While I was walking around checking on the parking lot attendants whereabouts I was swinging my detector around the front of one of the big trucks. I have to say I was more focused on the attendant then Bryan’s ring. So I was surprised when my detector screamed at me and showed a 30 vdi at 0 inches. I kicked the snow half hearted and the target moved. So I bent down and started moving the snow around. I saw the rim of the ring packed in snow and thought “Oh a quarter cool”, but this quarter had a hole in the middle, and had an owner it was Bryan’s ring. I called Bryan when I got to the parking lot and called him back with his ring in my hand. It took about 10 minutes to find his lost ring which is amazing given the fact it was night time, 28 degrees, and that parking lot had not been plowed yet.
Tom called and said he had lost his ring in his Koi fish pond while putting in a bubbler system for the fish.
He noted that his ring was loose, just prior to going in the water, and thought “I Better be careful and not lose it.”
After putting in the bubbler system, that evening he went to take it off and put it on his dresser as usual, and noticed it was gone.
Visually searching the pond, which was fairly clear and just had 1″ gravel on the bottom, but could not see it. He called me and we set up a time to meet. Upon arrival, we went to the pond and he offered waders, but I wore my shorts and water sandals in prep. He said it was really cold, and I said not to worry, I am used to the beach.
It was deeper that I thought, about 2′ and Coooollllddd as heck!
I pretended it was not that cold, and began searching with my AT-MAX. Tom watched a minute then went over to roll up the hose, and I heard him shout “I Found it!”.
He forgot that he had hosed off the patio after finishing in the pond, and it must have slipped off then, and it was just under a chair on the patio. I was happy he found it, but happier to get out of that freezing water. lol
Though I did not find it with my detector, he said if I had not come out there, he would not have looked over there and I thought that a gardener, or someone else may have found it instead. Such a nice guy, and he told me the story of why the ring meant so much to him, and I felt glad I had a part in finding the ring, even though my detector didn’t find it, but my presence did.
I received an email about a lost man’s Palladium wedding ring. The ring was lost somewhere in the backyard. He notice the ring missing a short time after he cleaned the sand from his little boy clothes after he was done playing in the sand box. I started my search with some good hits but no ring. I continue my search to the sand box, and there was the ring hiding in sand. He was very happy to have the ring returned to him.

This morning, a plea for help reached me through a colleague from the high school within our school district. Joe, a gentle giant known for his compassionate spirit, had lost his wedding ring during a beach outing with his wife at Ventura Harbor Beach. Despite being physically imposing, Joe’s heart is as soft as a teddy bear’s, and his impact on the community of Fillmore, through years of dedicated service at FUSD, is immeasurable.
It was a late-night revelation, almost homebound, when Joe realized his precious ring was missing. In a moment of faith, Joe and his wife turned to prayer, seeking guidance on how to find a lost ring at the beach. Their online search led them to stumble upon my website and the Ringfinders link, unbeknownst to Joe that I was a Ringfinder myself. Promptly, he reached out to me for assistance.
Upon receiving Joe’s briefing on the location—Ventura Harbor Beach—I set out after school to embark on the mission of recovering his beloved ring. Joe provided specific instructions, citing a distance of 232 steps from the end of a cement walkway. However, with three such walkways dotting the shoreline, pinpointing the exact spot posed a challenge.
Undeterred, I selected the walkway I deemed most likely and commenced the meticulous process of gridding out the area. There lingered a nagging concern that the ring might have been lost along the 232 steps to the designated location, complicating the search. Nevertheless, I persisted.
Amidst a few false alarms, a promising signal echoed through my Excalibur II—a beacon of hope amidst the uncertainty. With bated breath, I scooped up the treasure from the sandy depths, revealing Joe’s sizable wedding ring. Its distinct dimensions left no doubt as to its rightful owner’s identity. A video call to Joe ensued, culminating in a moment of sheer joy as he beheld the recovered ring.

A long time friend of mine called me to say her Mom lost a ring when they took her to visit the beach. She knew exactly where they walked to look at the ocean. It was starting to get dark so I grabbed my headlamp and was on my way. The city builds a large berm in the winter to keep the high tides from flooding the homes. My friend mentioned her Mom had slid down the berm to get to the bottom easier.
I started detecting at the entrance and worked my way towards the berm, no ring yet. I started scanning the side of the berm as I worked my way up to the top and thats when I got a good signal and found her ring. It’s just costume jewelry but her Mom was sad that she lost it and I was glad to help. It’s not the value, but the thrill of the hunt that gets me excited. 11/21/2017
I received a call from Jim in early September about his lost Iowa Hawkeye Lettermen’s Ring. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 1972 and lettered in track and had the ring to prove it until Sept. 2nd.
He and his family went to the Hawkeye football opener in Iowa City on Sept. 2nd. It was a hot sunny Iowa afternoon and Jim applied some sunscreen before the game and isn’t sure but later he thought he might have placed his ring on top of his car while applying the sunscreen and then forgot it.
He realized during the game that his ring was missing and of course they looked for it but couldn’t find it. On the way home his son was sitting in the backseat and heard something rattling around on top of the car. When he looked out the back window he thought he saw something gold hit the pavement and then go in the ditch. So he told Jim to stop he thought it was his ring that fell off the car.
They borrowed a metal detector and searched for 2 hours and didn’t find it. Later that week he found me online and contacted me and we met the next Sat. at the location. We had five of us searching with two metal detectors for over four hours and didn’t find it.
I went back on Sunday the next day for almost 3 hours and didn’t come up with it. For any of you who have attempted to search a road ditch you know how brutal it can be. There is always so much trash and the weeds are high, plus the traffic is distracting.
I had prior commitments and work for the next month of weekends but I finally made it back out there on Oct. 15th. I switched to my 6 inch coil to get through the weeds easier and separate through the trash. After an hour and a half I got a good signal next to a buried pop can and I found it!!
Here is a short video of the recovery
Plus some pictures
This afternoon, while perusing the Lost and Found section on Craigslist, I stumbled upon a distressing post—a plea for help to find a lost Titanium wedding band at Mondo’s beach in Ventura. The story unfolded with Jared, enjoying an afternoon surf session while his wife and young daughter basked in the sun on the sandy shores. In a sudden twist of fate, as Jared’s wife rose from her spot, the ring slipped from her grasp and disappeared into the soft grains of sand beneath them.
The frantic search that ensued only added to the chaos, with multiple hands delving into the sand, inadvertently moving the ring further from its original location. With Jared’s directions pinpointing the approximate spot at Mondo’s, I set out with determination, fueled by my familiarity with the beach from countless surfing ventures.
Meeting Jared at the scene, we wasted no time in identifying the area of interest. Within moments, my trusty XP Deus metal detector signaled a promising find—a clear indication that the lost treasure lay just beneath the surface. With swift precision, I unearthed the buried ring, gleaming softly in the fading sunlight.
As the golden rays of dusk enveloped us, a sense of triumph washed over Jared and me. Another precious memory salvaged, another heartache averted.

I was contacted on Oct. 19th about a woman’s lost wedding ring. About a month ago Paula had been pulling weeds around her yard and was throwing them down a steep hill when she realized her wedding ring went flying with the weeds. Her husband rented a detector and then bought a cheaper detector in the hopes of locating the ring. After hours of searching he decided he needed some help. I arrived this morning around 9:00 a.m. and he showed me the location that he already had marked out with orange flags. I made my way back and forth between the flags and I believe it was my third or fourth good signal I found her ring! It came up at 12-12 on the CTX3030.
I was very happy to help this nice couple recover her ring and thanks for the great reward.
Following Sunday service, my phone rang with a plea for assistance from a distressed young lady who had encountered a streak of misfortune during her weekend camping trip at Carpinteria State Beach for the Avocado festival. Amidst the festivities, she had tragically misplaced a ring gifted to her by her mother, intended to ward off the string of bad luck she had been experiencing. Adding insult to injury, a neighboring camper had inadvertently damaged her Honda Civic, compounding her woes.
Upon arrival at the beach camping site, littered with debris and remnants of previous visitors, our task seemed daunting. Nails, bottle caps, and loose change cluttered the sandy terrain, posing challenges to our search efforts. Undeterred, we embarked on the quest to recover the precious lost ring.
After scouring the area for approximately 20 minutes, a promising signal echoed from my new XP Deus metal detector amidst the iceplant and sand. With bated breath, I unearthed the buried treasure, revealing the gleaming gold ring hidden beneath the surface.
In that triumphant moment, amidst the backdrop of adversity, we emerged victorious. The ring, a symbol of hope and resilience, was restored to its rightful owner, turning the tide of misfortune.
