🌟 A Heartwarming Recovery: Lost Wedding Ring Found with a Metal Detector 🌟
We recently had the privilege of helping a gentleman recover something incredibly special: a lost wedding ring. 💍
After a lovely dinner, one of our clients was tossing his keys to his wife when, by accident, his wedding ring went flying along with them. Unfortunately, the ring was lost in the grass of their front yard. Despite the best efforts to locate it, the ring was nowhere to be found. That’s when he reached out to us.
Armed with our trusty metal detector, we carefully scanned the area, determined to reunite him with his cherished symbol of love. After around 20 minutes, the detector beeped—there it was, nestled beneath the grass! The look of relief and joy on his face when he saw that ring was priceless. 💍
It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. We’re not just finding lost items—we’re helping people recover memories, emotions, and the little things that mean the most. 💖
If you’ve ever lost something valuable or sentimental, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help you find your treasures! #LostAndFound #MetalDetecting #WeddingRingRecovery

Family heirloom ring recovered in Lititz, PA

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

While pressure washing a customers home on a Monday, Ed lost his wedding ring. He rented a metal detector and raked the yard but could not locate it. As an Assoc. Pastor, he watched the church’s live stream from Sunday evening and he saw the ring on his hand. But after visiting a gun store on Tuesday, he watched the store surveillance video and did not see it on his hand. He called me after exhausting all efforts to find it. I arrived the next day and met him on site. He showed me the area he was working and I began the search. After about 5 min, I got a strong signal around 87 on my Garrett ATPro. The ring had been pushed down into the grass and soil, so I needed my pin pointer to find it.

Somehow my phone texted Ed a (smiling emoji) who was waiting in his truck. He came running around the house and said,  “I just got your text, so you found it??”, I told him that I did not text him and that I had just stood up from finding it. I looked at my phone, and sure enough, there was a smiling emoji. I have no idea how that got sent. He was so happy to get his families ring back. He told me that it was his grandfathers ring, who had received it from his grandmother, so this ring has been in the family for a long time. When ever you loose something of value, call me at 610-207-8677.

This Necklace Recovery Made My Month!

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

I got a call around 7:30p last night from a woman who asked for my help in recovering a piece of jewelry. A high school football player had lost a necklace on the field during practice and despite friends and family members searching (including one with a metal detector), they had been unable to find the necklace. I grabbed my detector and headed over to the school to help search. After an hour and a half, I had only covered about half of the football field, but called it a night and returned this morning to continue. After about 45 min of continuing my search in the field, I located the necklace. It was 10 or 12 feet outside the playing field, but was nestled down in the grass and almost impossible to see from above. Up to this point, it’s a fairly normal search and recover story. It turns out that the young man who lost the necklace had a twin brother who tragically passed away 2 1/2 years ago. The necklace had the initials of the brother who had passed and angel wings as part of the design – a beautiful tribute. As you might imagine, the necklace holds tremendous sentimental value for the family.

As I recovered the necklace just before the start of the school day, the Head of School called the young man and asked him to come by when he arrived at school. (Not the kind of request a student ever wants to get from the principal!) When he arrived, the Head of School and I met him in the parking lot and I was able to return the necklace. It was an emotional moment and I was glad to be a small part of it.

I’m always happy to reunite folks with the items they’ve lost, but some recoveries really stand out…like this one.

Necklace lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Aaron was body surfing when a wave blew over his head and ruthlessly stripped him of his gold necklace. Aaron realized it immediately and tried to recover it, but, at the same time, the lifeguards were telling everyone to leave the water due to a large rip current. Reluctantly, Aaron left the water and contemplated what to do to get it back. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. When he called, I got the situation and made a plan to conduct a search early the next morning to take advantage of the -1.1 low tide. My buddy Cris and I met Aaron at the site at 3:45am and divided up the search area after Aaron got us a starting point. I started gridding east/west working my way south. while Cris did a north/south grid. After some time passed without much in the way of targets, I went back to my starting point and started going north. After a few passes and at the west end of one pass in as deep a surf as I dared, I got a nice solid 12 on my Equinox 900. Two scoops later and I had the target. I grabbed the lump still buried in the sand of my scoop and headed out of the surf to see what it was. It felt good, but, without my headlamp turned on at the time, I wanted to get out of the water and take a look before I let go of it. I walked out toward Cris who had his headlamp on and revealed what I had found. Sure enough, it was a gold looking chain. A quick flush in the water to remove the sand and we had Aaron’s beautiful gold necklace in hand. Needless to say, Aaron was a very happy man and thanked us profusely. A pleasure to meet you Aaron and thank you for the generous reward.

Dauphin Island – Lost diamond ring

  • from Mobile (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Todd asking if I found rings. Well, yes sir, I do my best – tell me your story.

Todd and his wife were visiting Dauphin Island from Arkansas and this was their second day here. His wife had put her wedding ring on the chair and then accidentally knocked it off. He shared with me that they had been crawling around on hands and knees for a couple of hours looking for it.  They weren’t far away from me so I was there within 15 min.

Todd met me and took me down to the beach where they had set up. Fortunately it was a beach house that wasn’t on the public beach, and it was a fairly narrow strip of sand. The chairs had already been removed, so Todd pointed me to the area they had been sifting the sand with their fingers. It was hot as blue blazes outside with an excessive heat warning that day so I uttered a quick prayer that this would be an easy recovery ! Not to mention I was also recovering from a bout with Covid and my stamina and energy was definitely not back up to normal yet.

I set out with my trusty Minelab Equinox 900, mentally mapped out an area to grid, and started swinging. I warned Todd that pull tabs sound a little like rings and told him don’t get too excited if I scooped a target. Less than a dozen swings of my coil, I got a promising signal. A few gentle shakes of my scoop and there was his wife’s ring. Thankfully one of my easiest recoveries yet and another beach vacation saved !

Ring lost at Solana Beach found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Sara had tied her ring to some straps on her beach bag before going into the water. When she returned, she grabbed her bag and headed for the stairs up to her house. Upon arriving up to the top of the cliff, she discovered the ring was no longer tied to her bag. She retraced her steps, but, the ring was nowhere to be seen. Sara contacted me asking for help, so, I grabbed my gear, my wife, and headed for the location. Sara escorted us through the condo complex and down the steep cliff steps to the beach, and then across a couple hundred feet of sand to where she had first set her bag. I usually like to start at ground zero in my book, and work my way away from there as necessary. Even though we could still see her footprints and the exact path she took, it might still take a while to cover all that ground depending on where the ring slipped off. I didn’t want to even think about having to hunt the steep cliff and under it’s stairs. As it turned out, it took maybe 12 seconds! First pass, maybe 6 feet, and my first target was Sara’s ring. Way to go getting me on the X Sara! A happy Sara couldn’t believe how quickly it was found. She then escorted us back up the cliff steps and gave us a thankful farewell. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the generous reward.

Ring lost at La Jolla found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Nina was participating in a beach game at Marine St. when her engagement ring came off and disappeared into the dry sand. Everyone took a look for it, but, it eluded all efforts to be found. Nina found TheRingFinders.com and contacted me for help. I arrived shortly after and actually found a parking spot. Nina met me there and directed us to the search area. Withing a couple of minutes, a pull tab and a quarter later, I got a nice solid 18 on my Equinox 900. A gentle probe with my pin pointer and I had located what was giving me that nice sound. Her ring was soon up with the living and back on her finger. A pleasure to meet you Nina and thank you for the reward.

Lost Gold Necklace, Honeymoon Island State Park, Fl….Found!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

“It’s only lost until I find it!”

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Nico and some friends were at Honeymoon Island State Park at sunset when he realized that his necklace had come off in the rough water. The necklace was a 14k gold chain given to him by his father to wear. Nico and his friend Tyler searched by sight in the water before it got too dark to see and then by feel after dark but were unable to find the necklace.

Nico googled “lost and found Honeymoon Island” and found my Dunedin Ring Finder page. He texted me the next morning to tell me what had happened and asked if I could help him find the necklace. Nico said that he and his friends had to return to Orlando that morning but that he had time to meet me at the loss location if I could. I told Nico how important it was to have him point out the exact location to me on site and also to begin the search as quickly as possible before another metal detectorist might find it. Nico and Tyler met me at the loss location and Nico said that he was swimming in about waist deep water when he felt the necklace come off of his neck. Thankfully the current tide time was about the same as at the time of loss. I placed my detecting bag on the beach as a marker and waded out to begin the search while Nico and Tyler grabbed some food to go from the nearby cafe. I searched for perhaps 30 minutes with just a few rusty coins and a piece of a throw net to show for my efforts. Nico and Tyler returned, I waded out of the water to meet them and then asked Nico to point out to me one more time where he was when he lost the necklace. He moved perhaps 50 feet further north and pointed out to a where a family was in about waist deep water. I moved my marker bag north to that location, wished Nico and Tyler a safe return to Orlando with the promise that if I found the necklace, it would be returned. I searched for about two more hours, working my way closer to shore with very few targets and none near the sand surface where the necklace should have been. At that point, I finally moved my coil over a surface target and although the tone and VDI number were a little lower than I thought the necklace should be, I scooped up Nico’s necklace from the sandy bottom on the second try! As soon as I was able to get back to the dry sand I texted Nico a photo of the recovered necklace and he called me back in a state of disbelief. As it turns out, Nico was only about 30 minutes away on his trip back to Orlando because he had to charge his Tesla so within about 45 minutes the necklace was back on Nico’s neck and he was happily on his way back home. Before he left, Nico asked me to speak to his father on his phone and he thanked me for finding the necklace. I told him that I made Nico promise not to wear it in the water again!

Nico, thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder with the search for your necklace and thank you for the generous reward!

Dropped Key In Cape Carteret Waters Keeps Kyle’s Truck Parked Until Found

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

Kyle called me up to see if I could retrieve keys from the boat dock. He had dropped his keys close to where the boat was moored, and since he was nearby, I rushed over to help. The water was 3-4 feet deep and got deeper gradually. My magnet didn’t work, so I dived into the soft seabed and found the keys with my metal detector. Sadly, my long-handled scoop was useless against the muddy bottom littered with oyster shells and twigs. I then used my Garrett pinpointer, took a deep breath, and dove where the detector had signaled. With a clear tone, I scooped up the muck and found Kyle’s keys. He opted out of a photo op and removed the truck key from the set for a picture. The boat in the photo is where we lost and recovered the keys.

Rings lost at Breakers Beach on Coronado found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Thais, took off both of her rings and put them in a shoe before going out in the water. Good idea! Forgetting that they were in the shoe when leaving, not so good. As you might expect, the shoes were picked up by her spouse Syd and the rings ended up falling out and into the soft dry sand. What to do….leaving at 6am the next morning just 13 hours from then…..so, off to the internet for advice. TheRingFinders.com website to the rescue. I got the call from Syd about 4:30pm about a lost “ring”, grabbed my gear, and hit the rush hour traffic to the North Island Navy Base visitors parking to meet her. We then drove to the beach and walked a couple hundred yards to a distraught Thais guarding the likely drop zone. A couple of short passes later, I got a nice solid 8 on my Equinox 900. Not knowing at the time that more than one ring was lost, I said that this could be the ring, or, some foil. A probe with the pin pointer, and grab with my hand brought a beautiful wedding band out into the sunshine. I thought we were done….not. a second sweep just a foot away and I got a solid 13. I then popped out the even more beautiful engagement ring to Thais’s delight. I asked if there were more and was told no, that was it. They could now sleep easier that night and catch their plane in the morning without having to leave anything behind. A pleasure to meet you both, and thank you for the reward.
