LOST PLATINUM WEDDING RING in MONROE, NC…. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I DIDN’T EVEN TURN ON MY MACHINE!!!

Received a text message that a gentleman had lost his platinum wedding ring in his yard.

I told him I could leave in a few mins and would be there in an hour and a half.

I arrive, get my gear, meet him, we make our way to the backyard where I get the scoop.

He was skimming his pool and he was shaking his hands dry next to a black/rod iron looking fence that had a row of elephant ears growing on the pool side of the fence.

As he was showing me the direction he thought the ring went, stating it’s probably on the other side of these elephant ears. He goes to move the plants back and we look down and we both see the ring! He was like, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MY WIFE AND LOOKED ALL OVER FOR THIS RING!”

I took a couple of photos and loaded up to head back home.

Love the easy ones!

How to Find a Lost Platinum Wedding Ring in a Backyard in Harrison, NY (Hint: Start with a Metal Detector and a Lot of Patience)

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)
Contact:

Today’s ring recovery brought me to Harrison, NY — more specifically, to the backyard of a beautiful home in Purchase — where I was asked to help locate a lost platinum wedding band.

I got the call from Jack, who was reaching out on behalf of his brother Billy. Billy had lost his wedding ring a few days earlier while walking their dogs in the backyard of their parents’ home. They’d spent hours over multiple days searching, but with no luck. That’s when they called in reinforcements — me.

It was 99° and brutally hot. The kind of heat where the sweat drips into your eyes before you even turn the detector on. But I was determined. The yard had a sprinkler system, which made the search more challenging — all those underground lines were setting off the detector with false alarms. Still, after about 40 minutes of careful gridding, slow swings, and filtering out bad signals, I heard the sweet sound that just might be the real deal.

Sure enough, nestled deep in the grass was a beautiful platinum wedding band.

Neither Jack nor Billy could be there, but their parents were (they didn’t want to be photographed). And let me tell you — the moment I sent the text that I had found a ring, they burst out the back door, hoping it was the ring. It was. Relief and smiles all around.

Now, as members of TheRingFinders.com, we usually like to post the classic “smiling owner holding the found ring” photo — but unfortunately I didn’t get that today. What I do have is a shot of the ring on a small ‘black marble disc’.

Not every recovery is dramatic. Sometimes it’s just a hot day, a bit of luck, and knowing how to read a yard full of distractions. But every recovery is meaningful — especially when it involves something as personal as a wedding band.

If you’ve lost a ring or something valuable — don’t give up. And definitely don’t mow the lawn. 😅

Two Very Important Lost Rings Found After Kids Day At The Beach

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

NORTH TOPSAIL, NC                                                                                        By: Crystal Coast Ring Finders

I was taking advantage of the calm Atlantic Ocean waves by metal detecting the waist deep waters of Emerald Isle, NC.  My phone, in it’s waterproof case, rang and I came out of the water to return the call.  Jeff informed me his wife Kim had lost 2 of her rings on the beach about an hour away from my current location.  I told Jeff I would load up the truck and head that way as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, Kim & Jeff informed me she was spending the day at the beach and removed her rings to apply sunscreen to the kids.  She became distracted and wasn’t sure where she placed them but feels they were on the beach blanket.  It wasn’t until she returned home to shower that she noticed her rings were missing.  Kim went back to the location and tried to search and found the area (because of a dead crab nearby).   Kim was unable to dig out the rings from the sand.  Marking the location was very important as I started to grid search the area and after one pass, I turned to start a second search line, and my metal detector sounded off very loudly.  I looked up at Jeff & Kim and smiled.  I was almost certain I had found them under the sand.  My pinpointer confirmed the location and I used my hand to scoop the rings to the surface.   Kim came a running after spotting the large cigar style ring.

Four rings lost and found at Popham Beach State Park in Popham, Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I was referred by fellow Ring Finder Dennis Boothby to Kimberly who had lost 4 rings while vacationing at Popham Beach, and had already returned home to Pennsylvania. When I was initially contacted one the rings had been found in the sand and turned into the Park Ranger. I travelled to the site without optimism as a week had passed and the rings being on a public beach could have easily been found by another detectorist. After about 30 minutes of searching I recovered the rings in the general vicinity of where Kimberly had reported them being lost. I made the phone call to report my success which was well received with a joyous and tearful response.

Lost Necklace And Custom Gold Wedding Band Returned With Help

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

Randy called me one evening to say he placed his ring & necklace in his beach chair before heading out for one last swim before going out to eat.  He folded up the chair and ran back to the beach house and then realized he didn’t have his jewelry.  Upon arrival, Randy gave me a quick description of where he walked back to the house (across a very wide area of the beach) and back to the area he felt he had the chair set up.  It was getting dark quickly and it was very hard to determine the exact location.  I performed a grid search that evening and made a few hikes to the house and back to the high tide line.  It was getting late and I was only finding trash so I called it for that evening.  Fortunately, I keep track of where I walked, with an online application,  and use this to return to search again if needed.

The next couple of days I wasn’t able to get back to try again.  Two days after Randy phoned me, a young honest lady (Amber) asked if I knew of anyone that lost a gold ring near The Point (Emerald Isle)?  I told her I was searching for a ring & necklace in that area.  She mentioned her little sister Alayna found the ring while searching for seashells.  She shared the picture of the custom ring with me. I asked Randy about his ring and he described it perfectly!  We had a match!  I knew the necklace must have been nearby.  I asked Amber where the ring came from and she mentioned just above the high tide line.  I headed back out at daybreak because the heat each day was too much for me to be walking in the hot sand with no shade.  I expanded my original search area and was within inches the 1st night of finding both.  I hit a very clean signal and one scoop into the sand I was able to pull Randy’s gold chain with a golden cross.  It was a fantastic feeling to know WE found both his wedding ring and his necklace!  I am so glad Amber and Alayna knew about Crystal Coast Ring Finders.

TWO LOST RINGS: 3 Ct, emerald cut diamond engagement plus wedding band at BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

My fiancé was tagged by one of her friends on Facebook page for Southport NC. The local page post stated someone from Portland, OR had lost her wedding and engagement rings.

After joining the page and getting in contact with the young lady’s husband. We were able to decide on a time for me to drive out to the beach to help find his wife’s lost rings.

I drove 4 1/2 hours one way and just missed the 1:30 ferry to Bald Heads Island, so I had to wait until the 3 o’clock ferry.

I get to the other side at 3:45, had to put my detector together and get the details. We made our way to the beach where they gave me the general area of where his wife had lost her rings.

I spent well over an hour in the water because that’s where they thought they lost them.

I told Jon (the husband) I was going to make my way to the sand and he said he was going to head back to the house. Some of his family had remained behind on the beach.

I hadn’t hit on ANYTHING in the water or on the beach. As I made my way to the wet sand that’s when I finally got a hit! 1st scoop and IT WAS THE WEDDING BAND! Then from there I did a circle around the first hole until I got the 2nd hit, 2 scoops and BOOM!!! IT WAS THE 3 CT EMERALD CUT DIAMOND RING!!! I had successfully found them BOTH!

We waited for everyone to down to the beach from the house and shared where I found them and took some happy pictures!

We then headed back to the house to share the news with the rest of the family, drink a couple of beers to celebrate!!!

This is what I do; what I love to do! I enjoy putting smiles back on faces and joy back in the broken hearts of individuals that had very little hope their cherished rings wound be found!

Fairfield CT after a July 4th backyard relay race the recovery of a Gold Ring July 2025

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

Claire and her friend were enjoying a fourth of July party in a friends back yard. During a relay race Claire felt the ring slip from her fingers and fly somewhere into the grassy area. She  and her friends searched the area on their hands and knees  for hours and could not find the ring. Claire by chance saw the news broadcast about my helping people recover lost jewelry in Fairfield and asked if I could take a look. I arrived and found out there was one potentially major problem. The yard had an electric fence and the interference it caused made me reduce my sensitivity significantly. I asked Claire to reenact the event as best as she could remember to put me close tot he area. After balancing the frequency in my detector I got my first gold tone signal. Putting the pin pointer to the ground clearly told me we had a good target just below the surface. Putting my fingers into the soil under the grass a gold ring popped out of the grass and into my hand. I showed her what I had just found and she stared in disbelief that I was able to get it, especially after they had spent hours searching for it. we did a reenactment on video for her friends and family to see the moment she was surprised , that video was fun to make and capture the essence of what it feels like to return a sentimental item

I also learned better how to deal with the electric fences so if this happens again I would be ready. I did not see the two dogs until after the hunt was over but I’m glad I had returned to the car when they came out to protect their property.

Fairfield CT Jennings Beach Water recovery July 15, 2025

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

Lou and his family were at Jennings beach in Fairfield and enjoying a day in the water when suddenly while playing tag in three feet of water he noticed his wedding ring had fallen off. In a frantic effort to find it he put on his sons swim goggle and search the murky waters. He had resolved himself to the fact that the ocean had concealed it and he might have to purchase a new ring. His wife decided to put a post in social media if anyone found a ring at Jennings to let them know. One name popped into the post and said get Wayne Aguiar. A person that follows me knew I had been successful kin previous returns and thought i might be able to help. Lou found my contact information online and gave me a call late in the day. I promised I would go that night and take advantage of the tides. When I arrived a bad thunderstorm was passing through the area and the water was unsafe. I called off the search for safety’s sake and came the next morning before the beach officially opened. Lou met me there and pointed out the general area that he last remembered the ring while playing tag with his kids. It took a couple of hours and dumping buckets of trash before a I had a good signal. I dug out the signal which was around 6 inches and dumped out the scoop onto the beach. The ring miraculously rolled out of the scoop and Lou jumped down and placed it on his finger exclaiming to everyone around I had found his ring. we celebrated with selfies and again I gave Lou a St Anthony medal as a keep sake for his family. The next day Lou was very happy and in shock and disbelief I was able to find it. He contacted the Channel 12 news station and submitted pictures and selfies that we had taken after the recovery. The news station liked the pictures and the story and decided to have a televised interview. I was on another ring recovery in RI so I zoomed into the interview and shared our stories.

Wedding band found in Berwyn

  • from Media (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

The gentleman, who preferred to stay anonymous, gave me a call last week as he had lost his wedding band! He had hosted his daughters birthday party in their backyard and between buckets of ice, setting up the outdoor projection movie theater for the kids, and all the clean up, he had a few ideas where it could be but had not had any luck. I came by the following afternoon and started by walking the property with him and trying to get an idea for where it might be, then he left me to work and less than an hour later I was able to locate it. The ring had slipped off near where he had been dumping the coolers out! I was glad to have made this recovery and reunited this special wedding band with the owner.

Within 10 minutes of starting the search in waist-deep water, I heard the sweet tone I was hoping for. One scoop later the gold ring was in my hand.

Cameron and his wife were thrilled, emotional, and incredibly relieved to have the ring back. It was more than just a piece of jewelry it was a symbol of their love and memories shared by the sea.
