Beautiful Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Trenton, NJ!!!
Owen was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder John Favano. Owen was convinced that his 2 year old 14k gold wedding band fellow off his finger somewhere between his truck and the 2nd story porch of his apartment in Trenton, NJ. After parking he put his ring temporarily on his pinky as he carried a heavy moving blanket from his truck to his apartment. When he got to his apartment he went out on porch and fluffed out the blanket and hung it on the railing…immediate after he noticed his ring was no longer on his pinky. He looked for hours and even borrowed a friends metal detector before reaching out to a pro for help. I arrived at his place and immediately scanned the grass where he walked from his truck to his apartment…no luck. Then we looked under, around and beneath 2nd story porch…no luck. Then we simulated the loss by recreating the movement of putting blanket across railing with another ring …it showed the ring could have flown further out into backyard. After 50 minutes of search time….we were ready to give up…when boom!!!! there it was! Farther than where we could have imagined it flew from 2nd story porch! I was very happy…and Owen was very relieved….to have his ring back on his finger!!!
Silver Ring Flies Off Finger and Becomes Lost in Sand – FOUND
EMERALD ISLE BEACH, NC
Evan called Crystal Coast Ring Finders to locate a lost silver ring. His family were out the tossing a small football when, during a throw, Elise felt her sentimental ring fly from her finger.
Moments after arrival to the location, we discussed the general boundaries where they felt the ring would be retrieved for Elise. I started my grid search and a strong 92 signal on my XP Deus II metal detector. This was the type of signal I was expecting and after gently placing my hand deep in the sand I was able to scoop up a handful of sand with Elise’s lost ring. The group was very surprised how quickly I found the missing ring.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Newark, DE!!!
Zac contacted me via text message Wed night after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. That evening he was on the street in his front of his house in Newark, DE…he picked up a stick and went to throw it and he saw and felt his gold wedding band fly off his finger…he heard one distinct “ting” where it hit street somewhere but he never saw the direction it went. He searched for hours with his eyes and rakes/brooms before reaching out to me. I told him I would be there first thing the following morning. I originally thought this would be a quick job…the ring bounced once on street and then into the grass across the street but nope…it wasn’t in the grass across the street. This is where ring finding and metal detecting experience counts! I told Zac to go grab a metal washer…we’re going to re-enact the crime…I had Zac stand where he was with washer in his left hand (he was left handed) and pretend to throw stick again and let washer fly…guess what? it didn’t fly across the street it actually flew toward his home on the opposite side. There wasn’t any grass on that side…just some mulched beds with some shrubbery. I proceeded to scan under the first shrub I came to and immediately heard the signal I was looking for…a gold ring on the surface has a very unique signature on metal detector! I bent down and lifted the low branches of the shrub…and there was his beautiful gold ring!!! With Zac 10 feet away ..I held the ring up with a triumphant look….OMG the look of relief on his face was priceless! Its so fun and rewarding to be able to come through for people…I was so happy to get the ring back on Zac’s finger!!!

Football Fling in Ocean Results in Lost Ring – Found and Returned
NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, NC By Crystal Coast Ring Finders
Adam’s wife shared a heartfelt plea on social media, asking for help in finding Adam’s wedding band, which had been lost in the water. By the time I had enough information to begin the search, they had already returned to Ohio. They estimated the ring was about 40-50 yards out from the beach, and my search confirmed they were right. After covering a span of five houses while water hunting, I finally hit a good signal. As I lifted my sand scoop from the waist-deep water and the sand sifted out, there it was—Adam’s ring nestled among a few shells. Some ladies watching my gear from the shoreline were amazed when I found it. Adam’s ring was one of two white gold wedding bands I recovered that day. I mailed his ring back to Ohio and waited for a photo of Adam with the ring back on his finger. Though Adam had some bad luck, falling ill after the vacation, he was healing when his son captured the moment of his dad wearing the ring again. I’m grateful to the family for trusting me to recover and return such a meaningful item!

Pictures From A Day At The Beach Leads To Lost Gold Wedding Band Being Found On Very Wide Beach
Emerald Isle, NC
Anne messaged Crystal Coast Ring Finders. She explained she may have lost a gold ring on the beach. She removed her ring and placed it in a backpack. They used the backpack to bike ride a few miles up to a nearby park. The next morning, I met Anne very early and we proceeded to the location. Anne lost the ring two days prior and tried to locate the ring while raking the sand surface the day after she lost it. Upon arrival, I could still see where she searched and started my hunt over that area. Unfortunately, I did not find anything except a few pieces of garbage metal. I asked Anne if anyone took any pictures of the area and this was the key to figure out exactly where they had set up during the beach visit. I began searching more to the Southwest. My XP Deus II locked onto a very loud signal. Seconds later, Anne’s custom made green gold wedding band was back in the sunlight.
Thank you Mabel (Anne’s young pup) for the assistance and entertainment!
A Ring Found In Brooklyn: Platinum Wedding Band Recovered in Under an Hour!
Another Ring Down! Brooklyn Job: Platinum Wedding Band Recovered in Under an Hour
Wanna hear how I spent my morning?
Last night around 10pm, I get this message from a guy named Alex:
“Hi Reuben! Got your info from theringfinders.com. I lost my platinum wedding ring playing volleyball at Domino Park in Williamsburg. It’s inscribed and all, and if your detector can find platinum, I wanna talk to you!”
We set up a 9am search. Alex couldn’t make it to the court but sent over a great description and layout of the area. It was a nice morning — overcast, a little cool, and not nearly as brutal as it could’ve been in August. Perfect weather for a little treasure hunting.
Domino Park has one court — sandy, and full of chatter from fences and nearby metal, but I came prepared. I fired up the Nokta Legend, notched out the iron, and took my time listening for that sweet, soft platinum tone.
About 45 minutes in, I got a clean, shallow signal near the back left corner of the court — where most players rotate through. Grabbed my sifter, scooped just the top layer of sand, and rescanned the spot. Silence. I shook the sifter and… bam, there it was. A platinum wedding band, sitting right on top, just waiting to be found.
Inscriptions matched. Game over.
Alex was working nearby, so I swung by and hand-delivered it to him. No extra charge for delivery 😎
Gotta say — every ring is different, but I’ve been doing enough of these to know when I’m onto something. You still need patience, the right gear, and a good set of ears, but man — it’s always a good feeling when that ring hits daylight again.
If you lose something — don’t panic, and don’t go digging holes in the sand like a maniac. Just call me.

Wedding Ring Recovered in Durham!
I got a call from DJ, who had lost his wedding ring playing beach volleyball on a sand court. DJ and his wife had not been married long and while every wedding ring is important, “new” ones are just a little more special. He explained that he’d actually been driving home with his wife (who also plays volleyball) when he noticed that his ring was MIA. I met DJ out at the court the next morning and started searching. The good news is that there is almost zero trash on a beach volleyball court, so other than a nickel and a metal bead, the ring was a straightforward recovery. You can tell from the picture that DJ was ecstatic about having the ring back on his finger – another happy ending!
Dennis, MA Ring Lost Third Time, Found and Returned by Richard Browne
July 30, 2025 Matt texted me: “Hi Richard, my name is Matt. Found you on TheRingfinders site. I’m here in East Dennis on vacation with my family. I was throwing a ball around with my son in the water yesterday when I realized I must have flung off my wedding ring. We searched for hours with no luck, even went back at low tide with a cheap metal detector to no avail. If you are in the area and would be interested in helping please let me know. Thank you.”
How could I say no, well I could and did not. I short time I was on my way to see one of Cape Cod Bay’s most beautiful views just before descending down the long set of wooden stairs to a private beach. On the beach a group of a dozen or more family members were waiting for me to show up and work my magic and find Matt’s wedding band.
I asked the usual questions and had Matt enter the water and stand were he thought he lost his ring. After about 10 minutes of searching and not finding the ring I overheard Matt and his father discussing the area. Matt’s father thought I should be searching a bit east and in deeper water. So I moved the search area and about a minute later, dad was correct, I had a great sounding target and with one scoop I had the “flung” ring captured in my scoop.
On shore the ring was returned and I asked for information about the ring. Well, it had quite a history, so much so I asked Matt to send me a text about the rings history…here is the text:
“I have lost my wedding ring 3x during that time. The first time I lost it transplanting ornamental grasses at my home….i unearthed it days later. The second time was about 5 years ago at a resort in Mexico….a fellow hotel guest found it at the bottom of one of the pools and turned it into the front desk. Yesterday was the most challenging recovery!….I lost it in the ocean while playing catch with my son.”
I am sure the ring’s travel is not over and it will see many more thrilling events but I would bet one event that will never happen is one of being lost again. At least I hope not, but Matt does have my contact information just in case.
