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

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Got a late night text from Julian after he tracked me down in the Ring Finder directory. He and his wife, newly wedded, were traveling through the area visiting friends on there way back to their home in North Carolina. Apparently he joined a pool party at a friends house in Wilmington, DE which featured a slip-and-slide in the backyard. After several adventurous turns on the slip-and-slide he noticed his beautiful 2 week old gold wedding band was no longer on his finger. After several hours of stressful searching he finally decided to reach out to a pro…and see if a metal detecting expert can reunite him with his ring.  He and his wife were planning on heading south the next day….so time was of the essence. I agreed to meet him at the house the following morning. Upon arriving, as always I asked him to walk me through what he think happened to his ring…he was quite convinced it slipped off while he was fooling around on the slip-and-slide. I proceeded to demonstrate my equipment to he and his wife so he had confidence that if I passed over the ring….I would definitely find! I gridded off the area in aand around where the slip-and-slide was set up…and began my search. I had my machine set up to isolate on the gold ring if I should pass over it. Now a gold ring on the surface will have a unique signature on my Equinox 800 metal deector…so I was hyper focused in scanning area. Sure enough on my 4th pass….i got the signal I was looking for! As Julian and his wife looked on from the other side of yard…I bent down, picked up the ring and held it high in air…..multiple cheers and a “no way!” rang out from my audience! I was very happy to be able to come through this nice, newly married couple!

Ring lost at Pacific Beach Found

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

Justin and family members were visiting here and spending the day out on the sand at Pacific Beach. While sitting in his beach chair, his gold wedding ring decided to take a sand bath, landing somewhere in a three foot circle around him. Searching the best he could, even using a sifter screen, failed to bring his ring to light. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com website and my phone number. A few texts with the pertinent information exchanged, and I was on my way with my wife to help with the awful parking situation normally associated with P.B. As luck would have it, I found parking up close, so, my wife didn’t have to circle, and was able to accompany me to the search area. After meeting Justin, seeing his chair, I had him clear the area for my search. Jokingly, I said that this search might break my record of 10 seconds recovery time seeing as how small the search area was. It was close, but, it might have taken me 12 seconds! A happy Justin can now stay out of the dog house with his wife. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

 Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finder, Recovers Lost Engagement Ring at Castaic Lake
Yesterday, Juan reached out to Dave MacDonald—known as Dave The Ring Finder—about a heartbreaking situation: his fiancée had lost her engagement ring at the lower lagoon swimming area of Castaic Lake.

Holgate NJ (LBI) Lost Wedding Ring recovered by Edward Trapper NJ Ring Finder August 2022

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Got a call today from Barbara, she was pretty upset after losing her beautiful wedding.  We talked for a bit and determined it must be right around her car in the driveway, hiding somewhere in the small stones in the driveway. I told her not to move the car, and don’t walk around in the stones which could cause possible damage to her ring. After just a short while the ring was back on her finger.

Expert Ring Recovery: Swift Retrieval of Lost Wedding Ring at Pt. Mugu State Park Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:
Title: Dave MacDonald Recovers Lost Wedding Ring at Pt. Mugu Beach, Malibu
This morning, Alexandra texted me in a panic: her husband’s wedding ring had slipped off while playing with their kids at Pt. Mugu State Park Beach in Malibu. The heavy ring sank fast into the sand, lost to the beach’s expanse. As Dave MacDonald, your go-to ring finder for Zuma Beach, Broad Beach, and beyond, I promised immediate action to recover it before anyone else could claim it.
I rushed to Pt. Mugu Beach, where we hit the sand running. The first sweep turned up nothing, but I don’t give up easily—whether it’s Leo Carrillo Beach’s rocky shores or El Matador Beach’s tricky terrain. Expanding the search, my second pass with the metal detector struck gold—a distinct tone rang out. With careful precision, I dug up the buried treasure: Alexandra’s husband’s wedding ring, safe and sound.
The relief was instant, the joy contagious. A lifeguard had warned me about bullets and bottle caps littering the area—an obstacle I’ve faced at Thornhill Broome Beach and Sycamore Beach—making this recovery even sweeter. Alexandra’s quick call made all the difference.

While metal detecting at one of my favorite honey holes, I discovered this silver class ring. After a quick online search I was able to locate the owner and made arrangements to mail her class ring back to her. I found out her class ring had been lost for about a month. She was devastated when she lost it. She was so happy and appreciative to have it back in her possession. She thought she had lost it forever.

Wedding Band Lost In North Topsail Beach Surf Found And Returned

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

Call or Text (614-354-6704) Crystal Coast Ring Finders as soon as possible if you lost an item requiring a metal detector to recover.

I received a late evening text from Danny.  He mentioned he lost his ring in the shallow surf and asked if I could help.  I checked the tide chart and told him, to his surprise,  I’d be there at 5 a.m.  I brought along a friend to help out and we headed towards the area Danny thought he had lost the ring.  After more than 2 hours of searching both beach and water, his ring was not found.  That same afternoon, my friend informed Danny that he was coming back to search the area once more.  Upon arrival, a family member mentioned a different area that they had set up the day before and the new area was searched.  It was a very short hunt as Danny’s ring was quickly located in the very shallow surf.  It was about the same time Danny and his wife were just coming back onto the beach and were very happy and relieved his ring was found and returned.

Lost Ring: Lighthouse Beach in Chatham – Cape Cod, MA Found and returned!

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

August 9, 2022
Seals, sharks and sand were all in their place, but Connor’s new wedding band was not. It had slipped from his ring finger as he rinsed off his hands in the waters of Lighthouse Beach. He and his wife reached out to Luke, another RingFinder, for help in recovering his ring. Luke was unable to leave work, so he called me to help in finding Connor’s ring. I made arrangements with Connor to meet up just before low tide to search for the ring. I had planned to detect a few freshwater beaches as many of the local saltwater beaches were closed to swimming due to the presence of Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. Leighton, who is also a RingFinder, would also join in on the search. It is great working as a team, it also helps in the probability of finding the lost treasure.

The four of us met up for the walk to the area where Connor had spent many previous visits over the past several years. Christina was to stand at the edge of the water where Connor had rinsed his hands. Connor stood high on the sand where he had had been sitting. The area between the newlyweds set up an area for the search as the exact moment of loss was not known. Leighton and I now started the search. First the sand and slope would be searched. Then the water would be last as sharks were known to prowl the area. That is why we saved it for last and would be very aware of anything lurking in the water.

Gridding the dry and wet sand only had one hidden pull tab that was found. We headed onto the steep slope and into the water where the sharks have been seen and the ring was most likely waiting to be found. My first target was the head of a metal fishing lure, all that had not rusted away. The second was the ring. It was looking very shiny and in perfect condition. I left it in the scoop and headed up the beach’s slope to the area Connor and his wife were standing. What a joyful reunion it was seeing the ring replaced onto Connor’s ring finger.

It was now time for the half mile walk back to the parking lot. After the exchange of a few more Thank Yous, other information and picture taking before it was off to dinner and another night of celebration for Connor and Christina. The honeymoon was back on.

Abby’s Moon Phase Necklace.Lost,Found,Cape Cod,Freshwater Beach Pond.

Contact:

While out searching for coins and jewelry in the water Rick Browne (Ring Finder) & I were approached by a gentleman named Matt. He asked if we were The Ring Finders from Cape Cod. We both responded YES with enthusiasm. We asked why? He said that his daughter, had lost her precious necklace the day before, and had we found it? We asked if it was in the water, or sand, and he said sand. We hadn’t done the sand area as of yet so let’s give it a try.

We met Matt’s wife Ronni, Abby his daughter, they were all on vacation from New Jersey. I asked Abby to stand where she last saw it the day before. They had been searching with flashlights the night before for over an hour with no luck. Just about then, Rick was already digging a target, and I had a target too. I dug down, and out popped Abby’s chain, with it had a Birth date, Moon phase Medallion attached to it. Abby and Ronni were emotional as one can expect. Congratulations all around for everyone. People clapped as I handed it back to Abby, Rick and I were so happy to be in the rite spot, at the time when needed. Congratulations, to Abby, her Mom Ronni, and Dad Matt, for not giving up and believing. Sincerely Leighton

Moon Phase Pendant and Chain
