LOST WEDDING RING DROPPED FROM TRUCK ONTO BEACH SAND FOUND – EMERALD ISLE, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Bobbie-Jo had removed her wedding rings to apply lotion before a day on the beach. She was distracted and forgot to put the rings back on before leaving the truck that had parked on the Emerald Isle coastline. About an hour later, she realized they were not on her finger. They tried to search the sand for the rings and were not successful but knew the approximate area she left the truck. Bobbie-Jo remembered Crystal Coast Ring Finders being shared on a local Facebook group and she contacted me for assistance. I was in Ohio (which I spend months during the winter). I told her I knew some trustworthy friends that help while I am away. My friend Greg was the first to respond and headed towards Bobbie-Jo’s location very quickly. Greg said it was during his second pass his Minelab 700 sounded off and he had found the missing ring. It seems with teamwork it made for a great recovery

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING IN RALEIGH, NC….. FOUND!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

While in SC attempting another recovery, sadly didnt find that one, I received a text about a lost ring in Raleigh, NC, at a parks volleyball sandy pit area.

The couple were visiting from out of state and leaving soon. I advised them of the current laws and that I’d have to call the local police to see if I could get permission to try and find it. I called Raleigh, PD and they deferred me to the park staff/security. I called and spoke with the director of the park where the ring was lost. He advised me he would have to call his supervisor and said he’d call me back. About 30 mins later I get a call and the green light!!! They said someone would need to be present while I searched for the ring, I said, “sounds good to me!” So from SC it was about a 3 hour drive!

I arrived at the park, then couple arrived and I called the Director to advise him we were there and I was about to get started. I covered the first area and didn’t find it. The park director showed up and sat at the picnic table where the 2nd possible location was. 1 pulltab and 1 twist top later I get another signal and it’s her ring!

Engagement Ring Lost in Yard, Freehold NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jim contacted me via email about finding a ring that had been lost in his yard the day before. I replied and asked him to call me, which he did. During our conversation, he explained that he had hosted a large outdoor party with many guests, and at the end of the evening, Brenda realized her engagement ring was missing. She was certain she had worn it to the party but couldn’t find it the next morning. After an extensive search of his yard without success, Jim decided to reach out for help.

We arranged to meet the following day around dinnertime. When I arrived, Jim explained that the party had been quite lively, with a lot of drinking and horsing around, which likely led to Brenda’s ring falling off. He showed me the area where most of the guests had been, and I decided to start near the house and work my way outward.

As I searched, I picked up no promising signals and began to feel concerned. I asked Jim a few more questions about where Brenda might have been during the party. He mentioned it was possible she had wandered near the pool or further into the yard, but most of the activity had taken place in the side yard.

I continued my search in the side yard, and just as I was nearing the end of the area, I got a sweet, unmistakable tone. I immediately suspected it was the ring. Sure enough, after clearing away a bit of grass, I uncovered Brenda’s engagement ring, just an inch below the surface.

Another happy ending that could have easily been a disaster. Jim and Brenda were thrilled, and I was glad to have played a part in recovering such an important piece of jewelry.

Ring lost at Pacific Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Kentrel was playing a game of Frisbee football in the dry sand at the beach. Afterward, he discovered his ring was missing from his finger. He looked all about without success, headed home to hopefully discover that maybe he hadn’t brought it to the beach that day. Nope, it was still missing. A friend recommended he try and find a metal detector and he ended up at TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. We arranged to meet in about 45 minutes, so, I grabbed my gear and headed out. We met, Kentrel explained the situation, and he showed me the probable search area, which was fairly good sized. Might take 1-2 hours to cover it completely. That beach gets detected a lot, so, there were hardly any targets which helped me move along faster than usual. After about 45 minutes, and only a few junk targets, I got a nice “round sound”, looked down, and could just see the edge of a gold ring. Yes! I called Kentrel over to take a look and he confirmed that it was the one. A happy Kentrell could now relax and enjoy the rest of the day. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

 

A Lost Treasure Found: A Heartwarming Search for a Cherished Ring

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)

Sometimes, even the smallest objects can hold the deepest meaning. Recently, I was called upon to help locate a sentimental treasure—a wedding ring lost during a joyful moment in the yard.

It all started when I received a message from someone whose wife had accidentally lost her ring while playing with their dog. We coordinated a time for me to visit and assist in the search. Arriving a little earlier than planned, I noticed an area of the yard where the grass had been raked—a sure sign that others had already been combing through for clues.

With my equipment in hand, I began my search, methodically scanning the area. About twenty minutes in, something caught my eye before my detector even alerted me—it was the ring, glinting in the grass! Relief washed over me, knowing this cherished item was found.

As I worked, I couldn’t help but notice the watchful eyes of the neighbors. It became clear that this was no ordinary lost-and-found mission; it was a community effort. The neighbors shared in the anticipation, having spent the previous evening searching themselves.

After finding the ring, I walked back to my car and shared the good news with one of the neighbors, who was just as thrilled as I was. Moments later, my client arrived, greeted by smiles from all around. His joy was palpable as he approached me, asking, “You have something for me?” Handing him the ring, I could see the gratitude in his eyes. His heartfelt thankfulness was echoed by his daughter, who was overjoyed that her mother’s ring was back where it belonged.

This experience reminded me of the power of a community coming together and the significance of sentimental treasures. It wasn’t just about the ring; it was about the memories it represented and the love it symbolized. Helping to reunite this family with their precious memento was truly an honor.

 

   

LOST SILVER WEDDING RING in FAYETTEVILLE, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Fayetteville (North Carolina, United States)

So on my way back home from my Goldsboro, NC recovery, I get a call from a guy in Fayetteville, NC that lost his silver wedding ring in his backyard while cleaning up trees and debris 2 weeks ago.

I make the deture and head his way. Get to his house, we head to the back and I start my search! The ring is not foubd where he thought he lost it and where he had already found his copper ring.

I advise we backtrack his steps. We start from the point of where he had taken them off and placed into his pocket along with his keys. 15-20 feet from there in the middle of the back grassy area just off his back porch, I get strong hit and look down to shiny silver roundness!

Man I really enjoy this hobby and helping people get their priceless treasures back!!

Lost White Gold Diamond Engagement Band in Columbus, OH. “FOUND”

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received a phone call about a lost Engagement Ring which was lost while clearing and cleaning the old plants from the flower beds. She was just doing her normal routine while wear gloves. Then after the job was done the ring was gone. We was able to perform the search the next day. Started the search in the first areas with no luck. Still continued through each flower bed area and the first dump site of two  for the plant waste materials. During the search of the second waste plant materials site, I had a hit in the dead plants, as I moved the plants away the hit disappeared which told me the item has fallen down into the older pile. Started moving the debris out of the way and there was the ring that has fallen and hidden itself. She was very happy to have the Ring returned to her.

Ring recovered in Santa Cruz, Nisene Marks park

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

Got a call from “Madison”.  Visiting from Sacramento, to Santa Cruz / Watsonville.   Her & some friends spent the day hiking several miles of trails in Nisene Marks park.   Prior to starting the hike, she had taken off her 1 carat diamond solitaire ring, and put it into her jacket pocket “for safe keeping”.  She also had her smart phone in the same jacket pocket.

 

During the course of a ~4 mile hike, she had taken the phone out, several times, for picture taking, checking her GPS, etc…   At the end of the day, she realized her ring was not in the pocket any longer.  She figured it must have come out during the hike.   And thought maybe the action of pulling the phone, in and out of the pocket, could have caused the ring to come out .  Eg.:  Maybe the “crown” gets caught on the rubber edge of the phone casing, etc…

 

Sure enough, after ~3 hrs. retrace hike, we were able to find the ring, under leaf-duff, at one of the spots where she’d stopped to take pix.   Glad your heirloom is back safely in your family Madison !   Nice meeting you guys.  Glad I could help.   Thanx for the tip.
