Michael spent the day at Mt. Lorette in Kananaskis Country spotting golden eagles as they migrated through. At the end of the day, after returning to the car, he realized his recently re-forged wedding ring was missing. After sharing his story on the phone we thought we might be able to find it……we were right. Click on the link above for the full story.
Sometimes I go months before I receive a call or email regarding a lost item. Not lately! My 3rd call out AND recovery in less than 2 weeks! I received a text from Alexander regarding a lost Diamond stud earring several days ago. He said his wife was out in the yard with their 1-year-old when she felt the earring come out while holding the infant. Unfortunately, the next several days were very rainy, but luckily the earring was not going anywhere being in their back yard. I was eventually able to make it out and met Lauren, Alexander’s wife, who quickly gave me the low down on exactly how it became dislodged and where she thought it might be. I asked her to please let me scan the mate to her lost item and she quickly presented the other earring. Stud earrings are VERY hard to find as there is very little gold(metal) for a detector to get a clean signal on. Luckily, I have found one in the past. With that knowledge and being “one” with my detector, I started to get my equipment tuned in. At that time, Lauren informed me she had to get back inside with her child. By the time I was ready to start my search, she was already in the house, so I began my search in the area she believed to be the “ground zero”. To my surprise, I detected a weak/broken signal similar to the one I heard when I scanned Lauren’s other earring. Upon moving my detector coil out of the way……..
…….BOOM! Can you see it in the picture? It is not easy to locate even knowing it is right there! I quickly picked it up and snapped a few pics before calling Lauren to come on out……..
I had only been there searching for about 5 minutes! When Lauren came out, I told her that I had to leave. She looked at me a little strange and before she could say anything, I told her “My work here is done”! She was beside herself and at first as I think she believed I was joking, but the smile on her face proves otherwise!
There were many factors that came into play to make this a successful recovery. Lauren starting me off in the correct area of the yard being one of the main ones. Her attention to detail at the time of the crisis was amazing. Getting in touch with my as quickly as possible along with my high-quality equipment and decades of experience didn’t hurt either! Oh, and never discount a little bit of luck!
On a surprise trip to Emerald Isle Beach, Nydirah placed her ring on a towel before heading into the water. When she return to dry off, she picked up the towel and forgot about the ring and it went flying into the sand. After searching for about an hour with no luck, the couple headed back on a sad long journey home. Before getting home, Nydirah found Crystal Coast Ring Finders and reached out for help. When I received the call, it was getting dark and realized the public parking area would be closing soon. This would leave me with no place to park. I asked a friend if he knew any spots and offered some risky ideas. With the help of the police department, I was given some advice on where I could possibly park. My friend offered to help and I picked him up at a store and headed to the location. After trying the understand the correct area, Nydirah sent an aerial photo with a spot circled. As soon as we where inside that circle, we split up to effectively hunt the area. Carl came back to me and already had the ring. I sent a picture and the first day the post officed opened, I mailed Nydirah’s heart ring back to where it belongs… on her finger.

On a beautiful Sunday morning (April 7th, 2024), I was sitting on my outdoor patio rocking chair, enjoying a cup of iced coffee, watching birds eating at my feeder and two Bluebirds tending to their birdhouse. A few minutes into my cup, I received a call from Emily stating she had lost her wedding ring. She had been in a car accident a few days prior near Pell City, Alabama. Thankfully, everyone in the accident was okay.
After the accident, Emily was standing near the wood line close to a gravel pull off point near the road. She had a flat tire and was upset about the whole situation. She lit up a cigarette and angrily threw the cigarette pack towards the woods. She felt her custom-made platinum wedding ring with multiple diamonds and her son’s birthstone fly off her finger. She had recently lost some weight, so the ring was loose fitting, but she hadn’t gotten it resized yet. Emily and her family looked for hours, raking the pine straw and even buying a metal detector, but unfortunately, didn’t find the ring. This was the ring Emily always dreamed about, constantly sharing photos with her mom, planning it for years. Emily was absolutely devastated that the ring was now gone. The sentimental value was beyond words.
Emily’s mom went on Google looking for ideas on how to find a lost ring. She came across The Ring Finders website. They (along with many others) were unaware that this metal detecting service even existed. Emily’s call to me had given her some renewed hope. I had an errand to run after lunch, but I told Emily I would be on the road as soon as I finished. Pell City was about a 2-hour drive from where I live at in Huntsville, AL.
I met Emily and her boyfriend of 17 years at a nearby Love’s Travel Stop in Pell City around 4:30pm. I followed them for about 10 minutes to the spot of the throw. Emily’s mom and father stopped by shortly after we did to watch the recovery.
I had Emily show me where she was standing and demonstrate exactly how she threw the cigarette pack. It was a sideways toss with her left hand. I had her throw one of my test rings and it went straight out near where the cigarette pack had landed. I put on my detecting belt, grabbed my Minelab Equinox 900, and started my search. I spent about 40 minutes checking the main radius of where the ring should’ve landed. I expanded out further, but came up empty handed other than the usual trash metal.
I asked Emily again about the angle of her throw. Her boyfriend had seen her throw the cigarette pack, and mentioned she had a downswing at the end. I know that rings can land at a person’s feet or even go behind them, so I expanded the search in that direction. The search area was now on the gravel road of the pull off point. I was still detecting and visually inspecting the gravel area. I was making my way towards the left side, when my eye caught a glimpse of a large and gorgeous platinum ring laying amongst the gravel. I quickly spun around facing Emily and her mom; with a huge smile on my face, and said, “we got it!!!” They almost couldn’t believe it, lol. Emily and her mom both ran over and gave me the biggest hugs, thank you’s, and praised the Lord. The excitement, celebration, and relief were again, beyond words. Truly, one of the greatest feelings.
The ring was slightly bent and had some scuff marks on the band, so it had been driven over. But fortunately, all the stones were still there. There was one diamond that was loose, so I gave Emily a baggie to keep it in until it could be repaired. Everyone couldn’t believe how far this ring actually flew and the odd direction it went. The last picture I included shows a dot where Emily was standing when she threw the pack and an “X” where the ring landed.
We chatted for a few minutes, took some pictures, and I was back on the road to go grab a bite to eat and then head home to Huntsville.
This ring is my 50th item recovered since I joined The Ring Finders on August 25th, 2018. It’s been such a blessing helping others and it really provides me so much purpose in life. I give all glory to God and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And a big thank you to my husband, Lindell, for allowing me to go on all of these fun and exciting adventures, lol. I look forward to going on many, many more.
Until the next one… please take care, God bless, and I love you all!

I received a call from someone who told me he “Thinks” he lost his 18K gold wedding band on the beach a few days prior. He was not sure where he lost his ring but was on the beach for several hours playing frisbee and when he got home noticed his wedding ring missing. He said he knew it was a long shot but wanted to try anything he could. I asked him to send me a diagram on a map of where he thought he was at the beach. Also needed to know the time frame so I could track the tides on the day he lost it, and a picture of his ring. The next day I went to the area and searched for his ring. 18K gold wedding recovered about 6-8″ deep.
TESTIMONIAL:
Adam at RingFinder was the best. He responded right away and walked me through what was needed. He has got this down! From getting the precise location info, absorbing any and all information, and even checking the tidiest make sure he is searching in the same conditions to the time I lost my wedding ring. He clearly has the skills and equipment to help a person keep hope when an important item is lost in an impossible place like the beach. My wife was too stoked I got my precious ring back. If you are reading this and are suffering similar misfortune Adam will take your situation seriously and really put in the effort needed to find your ring. He really cares about what he does and it shows. Thank you so much fir the awesome job Adam!

Leina called to report her ring was somewhere along a dirt road but she knew the general area. Her concern was there were heavy rains the day she called and was thinking it would be more difficult to locate her treasured ring.
I met Leina the next morning and she had said she bought a metal detector and tried to locate it herself but was finding way too many pieces of trash and numerous unknown signals. She had given me a search area and I was also pulling out various metal items. We continued along a wet ditch which had a tall metal fence on the opposite side. The fence was causing my machine to sound off when I swung too close. Leina was upset and I tried to calm her down with conversation. We seemed to have a lot in common when it came to living through our years. While I continued to search the roadside and ditch beyond her marked area, I was pulling more trash and then I finally hit the right spot. Leina didn’t even noticed I had found her ring in the weeds and water. I stood there to take a break and listen to what she was talking about (her upcoming wedding). She was so stressed. I held out may hand with her ring and said “Maybe this will help”. She melted with tears and joy

Nick was walking his dog along the beach in Cape May, New Jersey when his gold wedding band slipped off his finger and disappeared into the sand. It was only later that he realized his ring was missing and, sought my help to find it. I arrived about thirty minutes later and got some more details from Nick before starting the search. We initially focused on the area where he had rested with his dog, but the ring was nowhere to be found. Thus, I decided to expand our search along the route he had taken. Approximately 200 feet from our starting point and about an hour later my metal detector emitted a promising sound, there it was, Nick’s missing wedding band! A Great day in Cape May, NJ.

Nicholas put his wedding ring in an ice chest for safe keeping while on the beach. The problem was, he forgot it was there and dumped the icy contents of the chest by the pedestrian entrance trash cans when leaving the beach. He didn’t even realize it was missing until he made it home 2 hours away. He was about to write it off as lost, but, figured it was a worth a shot to try and recover it even though it was a long shot in his mind since it had been a couple of days already. He found me on the Ring Finders directory and made contact. With just a map and a couple of circled spots to search, I headed to the beach on a cold, rainy, windy day. The first area was a bust, but, after moving some trash cans out of the way, the second area produced his ring. Today, Nicholas and his wife made another trip here and happily picked up his ring. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.
