White Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted by a husband, (Ben), saying his wife lost her wedding ring in the front yard and that they had tried finding it with a metal detector, but had not located it. They had a very large front yard, but had marked off an area they thought it would be, because he had to run the mower. The area he thought it would be had not been cut. The temperatures those days were at the 95 degree range and I was in the full sun with no relief from any shade. The first day I spent around 4-5 hours finding nothing but surface items that sounded like a ring, small pieces of foil. I had completely covered the entire area he thought it would be. I was spent from the heat, so I came back the next day and expanded the search area. After around 4 hours I was well outside of the original search area by around 60 feet or so and I got a consistent 17 on my Manticore and it seemed to be on the surface because of the double beep. I had found it, but there was a problem. It was in the area that had been mowed and had been damaged from being run over with the mower tire. The band had been bent, had a small stone missing, and the main setting stone was loose. So as soon as I could I put it in a small zip lock bag so if anything else came loose it would not get lost.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered in Mauston, WI

Waterpark Distress

July 30, 2025

Sandy Shores Resort in Mauston, WI offers users an exciting inflatable obstacle course.  The inflatables sit atop a clay lined pool landscaped to bring the lake experience to users.  Ringed by clean, soft sand, it offers ample seating for those just wanting to enjoy the sun.  It’s the beach brought to south-central Wisconsin.

Sebastian was enjoying the floating inflatables when, while climbing back up out of the water, he felt his wedding ring slip off into the water.  As a newlywed, he really wanted this ring back, and had been looking for the ring for four days, diving down and searching by feel.  At the depth where his ring was lost, it was completely dark.  He even tried some ideas provided by a local detectorist to no avail.  When he called, he was desperate for success.      

After speaking with Sebastian and receiving a few aerial map images by text, I agreed to the search.  The owner of Sandy Shores was gracious and gave me permission to dive before the park opened for the day.  Sebastian provided the perfect location to begin my search and after a few minutes diving in the search zone, I found his ring.

Like many jobs in life, if you have the right tools, some experience, and a willingness to try, there is often success.  Sebastian provided detailed information to guide me.  I brought the tools and the experience in using them.  Together, we returned this precious reminder of their wedding day.

Wedding Ring Recovered in Durham

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

I got a text from a gentleman who had lost his wedding ring while mowing the grass. He said he had lost it about two weeks earlier and had searched for it (including borrowing a metal detector), but had been unable to find it. In the two weeks it had been lost, we’d had a number of major rainstorms, so I expected the ring at best, to be sitting on top of the soil and at worst, to have started to sink down into the soil. We made arrangements to meet the same day, and arriving at his house I could see that roughly half of his yard had been mowed and half was a little “overgrown”. He explained he was concerned that if it had fallen off in an unmowed area and he ran across it, the mower blade could have flung it elsewhere in the yard. For that reason, he stopped the mowing and started the search. When I arrived, he showed me where he was when he noticed the ring was no longer on his finger. Given that clue as a headstart, I began grid searching the yard, making sure to overlap my sweeps. On the fifth pass I got a rock solid signal and checking with my pinpointer, saw the ring. It was not visible from above – it had fallen through the grass – but was sitting on the soil, covered with grass clippings.

Every ring recovery is special, but this one was especially nice. He was overjoyed to get his ring back, but his wife was absolutely beside herself. Very glad to be a part of another happy ending!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Newark, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Zac contacted me via text message Wed night after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. That evening he was on the street in his front of his house in Newark, DE…he picked up a stick and went to throw it and he saw and felt his gold wedding band fly off his finger…he heard one distinct “ting” where it hit street somewhere but he never saw the direction it went. He searched for hours with his eyes and rakes/brooms before reaching out to me. I told him I would be there first thing the following morning. I originally thought this would be a quick job…the ring bounced once on street and then into the grass across the street but nope…it wasn’t in the grass across the street. This is where ring finding and metal detecting experience counts! I told Zac to go grab a metal washer…we’re going to re-enact the crime…I had Zac stand where he was with washer in his left hand (he was left handed) and pretend to throw stick again and let washer fly…guess what? it didn’t fly across the street it actually flew toward his home on the opposite side. There wasn’t any grass on that side…just some mulched beds with some shrubbery. I proceeded to scan under the first shrub I came to and immediately heard the signal I was looking for…a gold ring on the surface has a very unique signature on metal detector! I bent down and lifted the low branches of the shrub…and there was his beautiful gold ring!!! With Zac 10 feet away ..I held the ring up with a triumphant look….OMG the look of relief on his face was priceless! Its so fun and rewarding to be able to come through for people…I was so happy to get the ring back on Zac’s finger!!!

Wedding Ring Recovered in Durham!

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

I got a call from DJ, who had lost his wedding ring playing beach volleyball on a sand court. DJ and his wife had not been married long and while every wedding ring is important, “new” ones are just a little more special. He explained that he’d actually been driving home with his wife (who also plays volleyball) when he noticed that his ring was MIA. I met DJ out at the court the next morning and started searching. The good news is that there is almost zero trash on a beach volleyball court, so other than a nickel and a metal bead, the ring was a straightforward recovery. You can tell from the picture that DJ was ecstatic about having the ring back on his finger – another happy ending!

North Topsail Beach, NC – Wedding Band Lost In Ocean, Found And Returned

North Topsail Beach, NC                                                                            By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

Steve was spending some time in the ocean during a typical hot Summer North Carolina day. He mentioned he was swimming in about chest deep waters, jumping in the waves.  A large wave hit him and he felt his ring was gone!

Steve called me just after low tide that same day and I arrived the following day to search.  I found another man’s white gold band, in the ocean, a few miles away about an hour before.  I started my search parallel with the shoreline working my way out into the deeper water.  After finding nothing but a couple of pieces of trash, I started a vertical search.  After just a couple of passes, I got a good signal.  I was disappointed when I dug up a pop can tab.  A few steps later in the water, my machine displayed the very same target identification.  This time it was Stephen’s white gold wedding band!  I walked to shore and took some pictures.  Steve was about to go out with family for pizza and I sent him the photo thinking they had already left.  A large number of family members and Steve and his wife poured out onto the beach with surprise and joy!

Old Lyme , CT Platinum Diamond Ring July 2025

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

Old Lyme CT, July 27. What started as a Christmas in July celebration at the beach with over 150 guest became a frantic search for a lost platinum diamond ring. Kristina the coordinator of the event was playing with the children handing out gifts and dancing with them under a huge tent. Line dancing around all the tables and tlo the gift distribution area. After stopping at her table she noted that two of her three rings were almost falling off her finger and the large diamond ring was missing. In a frantic search the crowd started searching the area kicking sand , kids digging into the sand and even a child’s detector was employed. Quick action by Alison reached out to me from social media and gave me the situation. In about 30 minutes I was onsite and assessing the situation. The area was trampled and it became clear there was no clear idea of where it could have been lost. I started but using a standard coil covering and gridding the area closest to where she noticed it had been missing. The tables and chairs were moved when possible to allow better access and everyone was supportive. I started by giving Kristina who said she was catholic and seeking help a St Anthony medal to pray for her lost items and many of the guests started doing the same. At one pint everyone left the area to go to sleep and I remained but changed my strategy and used a smaller sniper coil to better get between the tables. After about a half hour a weak but repeatedly signal in the range of  platinum was identified. The soft sand was pinpointed and at a depth of 6-7 inches a solid ping was detected, sifting the sand with my fingers I felt the band of the ring and a glitter of platinum ion the sand and brought it to the surface.  Some passing relatives contacted her and she jumped into a golf cart and came straight to the tent where her ring awaited her. We had several precious and emotional minutes where she came to terms it had been found and that her and the other peoples prayers to St Anthony were heard. A miracle had just been witnessed.

Gold Wedding Band Lost During Emerald Isle Beach Trip Found Off Beach

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

David gave Crystal Coast Ring Finders a call just before dark.  He stated he went to the beach and upon returning to his home, noticed his wedding band, he never removes, was gone.  David asked if I wanted to search the following day and I asked if he was near a public access on the beach.  I was worried with the popularity of metal detecting, someone would find the ring before morning.  David said yes it was near a public place so I said I would get there as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, I picked up David and we rode closer to the beach access.  David showed me where he parked his golf cart then grabbed a chair and a cooler and headed to the beach. I noticed there were about 5 vehicles parked.  We arrived at the place where he was sitting and a small group was nearby for a sea turtle hatch about to happen.  Fortunately, David was sitting far enough away I was able to search all around where he was sitting.  Nothing but trash was found during the beach search and I also searched the sand up to the steps leading to the street.  After a very thorough search, we returned to the parking area where it was now very dark and a vehicle was now in the area David’s golf cart was earlier that day.  I turned my headlamp on high beam and started to search around the vehicle.  I was looking for the bright reflection of the light beam on David’s ring.  Finally moving the back of the vehicle, and close to David, I spotted his ring laying in the street edge.  David was very relieved after snatching it up from the road.

I told him earlier, “I hate when I can’t find it!”.

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was contacted on July 12th, 2025 to look for a tungsten wedding band that was lost in the backyard while playing with the dog (the ring was lost for 2 days). The wife reached out to me after doing a Google search for lost ring recovery. The husband felt the ring leave his hand and had a specific location narrowed down where the ring might be located. I was in the backyard for less than an hour and returned the ring happily to the husband. All smiles 😃
