🔍 Lost in Translation but Found with Precision: A Wedding Ring Recovery Story 💍
We recently had one of those unforgettable metal detecting adventures that prove the power of determination and a bit of luck!
A man accidentally dropped his wedding ring out of a window, and it vanished into the grass below. To make things even more interesting, he spoke only Ukrainian, while our metal detectorist only spoke English. 🌐
Despite the language barrier, we were united by one clear goal: finding that precious ring. With a few pictures of where the ring might be, hand gestures, smiles, and nods, we set to work. The detector beeped, and after a bit of digging through the grass, there it was—the lost wedding ring, safely in hand once more! 🎉
This experience reminded us that sometimes, no words are needed when it comes to helping people. A shared mission, a bit of patience, and a lot of focus can overcome any obstacle. Whether it’s language differences or the challenge of finding a tiny ring in a big yard, we’re always up for the adventure! 🌟
If you’ve lost something important, don’t let anything stop you from getting it back. We’re here to help, no translation needed!

🌟 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

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.

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.

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.

Chatham, MA Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned by a RingFinder

Brendan was enjoying a sunny day at the beach, his 39th year in doing so, when his wedding band slipped from his finger. After failing to find the ring he reported the loss to the gate guard who gave him my card, name and number. A text to me followed. Brendan’s was one of two requests I received within 30 minutes. I answered both with the same: first to respond will have their choice of day for me to help.

Brendan was the second one, Thursday would be the day set for the search. Detecting partner Leighton was off from work both days and we both would be helping search for the lost ring. We met Brendan on the parking lot, exchanged a few words dawned our gear, and headed to the water stopping to meet Brendan’s wife and 3 sons. Then as usual we had Brendan enter the water and stand just where he remembered loosing his ring. We started searching parallel to the beach from where Brendan was standing toward the beach and I to deeper water. About 20 feet from Brendan, Leighton dug his first signal and there was the platinum ring we were in search of.

A very joyful Brendan wanted to pull the ring from the scoop only to be told “wait”. The three of us headed to Chrissy and their 3 curious children. In the presence of everyone, Brendan retrieved the ring and put it back on his finger. Congratulations, pictures and exchange of info followed. For Leighton and myself, we were off to another beach to search for a missing engagement ring.

Osterville, MA Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned by RingFinder

Any chance you are available for a search? Was one of two requests I received within 30 minutes. I answered both with the same: first to respond will have their choice of day for me to help.

The days and times are: Wednesday 11am-2pm or Thursday noon to 6pm for low tide and the ability to search in the water. Let me know if either works for you… The reply was that “Wednesday works for us! Hannah & Jamin”.

Detecting partner Leighton was off from work and we both would be helping search for the lost ring.

All four of us met up in the parking lot. Leighton and I with our detecting gear, Jamin with fishing gear and Hannah ready to supervise and perhaps take a swim. As usual we started by looking for the pile shells marking the beach were they were a few days ago. Well the tides have spread the pile so we started detecting an area suggested by Jamin. A few minutes later Hannah signals us she had found the pile of shells. OK, we moved the search over to an area 50 or so feet along the beach. After a bit of searching the width of the search area widened and to everyone’s amazement the is found closer to the original area where we started searching. Memory is a wonderful thing and it is good, but a physical marking is better. That is why we suggest dropping a few metal objects where a ring or other object is lost. With a few targets to look for we would know that we were in the correct area.

A few photos for the book of smiles, a bit of story telling as each story has it’s own lesson to be learned and then the ThankYou and now the fishing was going to start as Leighton and I left to look for another lost ring. I don’t know how the fishing endeavor ended, but I do know Jamin with a bit of luck did hook onto two metal detectorists that are always willing to help and that made the day a day to remember.

Popponesset, MA Sentimental Silver Ring Lost, Found and Returned by a RingFinder.

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

August 11, 2024

I can not count the times I have heard the words “I lost a ring of emotional significance yesterday.” and ”Thank you again so much Rick! It was great to meet you and so magical that you found the ring…!

Those words along with many others are why I enjoy my hobby so much.

Sarah was enjoying the art of teasing the incoming waves as they swept the slope of on of Cape Cod’s many fabulous beaches. The thrill was shortened when a ring slipped off her finger and beneath the beach’s sand.

Back at her grandfather’s home she searched the web for ways to find a lost ring. Her search was answered when she came across TheRingFinders.com article. She followed the link and contacted me. Of course I would search for the ring at the next day’s low tide.

With no other option on where to park, I parked in front of grandfather’s home. Sarah was right there as I exited the car. A short conversation was followed by a quick walk to the beach where Sarah showed me “where” the ring was lost. With that information I started my search pattern at the water’s edge working my way up the slope of the beach. Nothing! Maybe it is in the water, time to get wet. Four passes and nothing again. Enter Baron…”I’m pretty sure you should be looking over here.” That was some 20 feet away from the area I had been searching.

As I was in the water I worked my way up the beach going toward the dry sand. I was almost out of the water when my first signal proved to be a pull tab. Three swings later another, larger signal, I had to dig it. Yes, this one was the ring.

You can use your imagination on the excitement and joy that followed, not only by Sarah and Baron, but all those on the beach that had been watching me. Some had no idea what I was doing until they saw and heard the emotions shown by Sarah. That is my “reward” for enjoying my hobby, what could be better? Certainly not hitting a small white ball, chasing it so you can hit it again then watching it splash into a water hole and disappearing out of sight.

Next, of course, would be words of thanks, pictures, a few stories, and ways to wear a ring to the beach with no fear of having it slip off one’s finger.

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.
