Lost Diamond Ring at Kits Beach…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I was out visiting my grandson on the Island when I received a distress call from a young lady who lost her diamond engagement ring at Kits beach. I listened to her story on how she lost her ring and how they searched but couldn’t find it, I could tell she was very upset and that she thought she’d never see it again.

She went on to tell me that she was calling me from the airport and she was on her way back home from visiting Vancouver. She also said that she was getting married in 3 months, I asked her if she took any pictures of the area on the beach where she had lost the ring and she said she did and sent them to me.

After taking a look at the pictures I knew exactly where on the beach she was, I told her that I’d be there in a couple of hours to find her ring. I headed back to Vancouver after a day with my grandson and went directly to Kits beach. I found the area she lost the ring and started my search, after 20 minutes and the good signal I was looking for and in my scoop was her beautiful engagement ring!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was able to send her a text message with a picture of her ring and when she landed back home In Saskatchewan the first thing she saw on her phone was a picture of her ring. The next thing I did was go to Fed-EX and ship back her beautiful engagement ring.

A Tale of Hope: Recovering a Lost Wedding Ring at Pierpont Ventura Beach

In the midst of the evening, a distressed call pierced the silence, summoning aid for a lost wedding ring amidst the sands of Pierpont Ventura Beach. Hastily, I gathered my gear—headlamp, detector, and scoop—and embarked on a nocturnal rescue mission.

Upon arrival, I met Sarah, the bearer of the sorrowful tale of her lost ring. The scorching heat wave in Ventura County had driven her, along with her four children and two dogs, to seek solace by the tranquil shores. Unbeknownst to her, amidst the day’s chaos, her wedding ring had slipped away, lost in the vast expanse of sand.

Undeterred by the encroaching darkness and enveloping fog, I commenced the search, tracing meticulous grid patterns along the dry sand. Despite my efforts, the elusive ring remained elusive, concealed by the night’s cloak. Determined, I vowed to return at dawn, when daylight would illuminate the path to recovery.

With the rising sun casting its golden rays upon the shoreline, I resumed the quest, retracing my steps and expanding the search radius. Despite Sarah’s belief that the ring lay buried within the dry sand, I ventured into the wet sands, propelled by intuition. And there, amidst the lapping waves, a glimmer of hope emerged—a strong signal echoing through the morning air.

With bated breath, I plunged the scoop into the dampened earth, and lo and behold, Sarah’s cherished ring emerged, glistening in the sunlight. A beacon of joy amidst the vast expanse of sand, its recovery marked a triumph of perseverance and dedication.

As Sarah reunited with her precious symbol of love, she shared the poignant tale of survival and resilience behind the ring’s significance. A survivor of the Las Vegas shooting, the ring bore witness to moments of fear and faith, a testament to the enduring power of love and hope.

Beyond the sands of Pierpont Ventura Beach, an unexpected twist awaited—a serendipitous connection between Sarah and my wife, who had once taught her in second grade. In the tapestry of life, every thread intertwines, weaving tales of resilience, compassion, and connection.

At Ventura County Ring Finders, we understand that every lost ring carries a story—a narrative of love, loss, and redemption. With expertise in professional metal detection, we stand ready to embark on journeys of recovery and reunion.

The Ocean Tried To Claim Another Wedding Ring, Ocean City NJ

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I received an email early yesterday morning, from K asking about my fees to look for a lost wedding ring at the shore. I replied saying that I don’t have a fee. We sent emails back & forth getting all of the details. The only issue was I would be able to make it down till Friday, and today is Tuesday.

K’s husband R was playing in the ocean with their son in waist-deep water at high tide. As R was throwing his son into a wave, his wedding ring of 11 years went flying into the surf. K posted the incident on Facebook. One of her friends recommended me as I had found his lost ring before.

The best time to search for this ring would be at low tide, which is 11pm tonight. After some adjusting of my schedule, I traveled to Ocean City for the search on 9th st.

At 7:45 the beach was still pretty crowded. I called R and told him that I was there. He said he would come up and show me where the loss occurred. I searched for a while finding just a few coins. After a while, R approached me. I was on the wrong beach. They had entered at 9th street and went right. They were swimming at the 10th Street Life Guard stand.

R gave me the details and the general area. I did a grid pattern and came up with just a few coins. I expanded the search area, and on my 1st pass of the extended area, I had R’s ring in my scoop.

The happiness on R’s face was awesome. I got a firm handshake followed by a “bro” hug. He said he thought that this search was not going to find his ring. He had thought that it was gone forever. I said that you should probably call your wife. He said he would wait to see her reaction in person.

As we were leaving the beach K called asking about our progress. R told a white lie and said that we were still looking. When we got back to my truck, R paid for my parking, Thank You!! He asked for several business cards to spread the word. I found out that R is a 1st responder in PA, he is a police officer. I love helping other 1st responders!!

Update: The Philadelphia ABC Affiliate 6ABC did a story on this recovery. There was supposed to be an interview but the news crew got diverted to a helicopter crash: See the news story here

Lost Ring Dauphin Island – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Nick and his family were visiting from Oklahoma and had a house on the water in Dauphin Island.  When Nick called I was worried because I was going to be out of town on business for several days but after getting some more information I told him that I thought I could still find it for him when I got back on the weekend.  Nick explained to me that he was playing in the Gulf with his nephew in about 3 feet of water when he took off his ring and showed it to his nephew and joked that he had found “treasure”.  Well he quickly stopped joking when his nephew made a grab for it and it dropped out of his hands and into the water.  Nick and his family looked for hours but weren’t able to recover it.  When I finally got there, they had an over under going on how long it would take me to find it, and if I could find it at all.  Nick had great directions and after some machine adjustments to account for a ton of old nails from an old pier, I heard that awesome Gold sound and got it on the first scoop.  Needless to say, Nick and his family were thrilled and impressed.  This is definitely the most impressive men’s band that I have recovered.  Thank you Nick for giving me the chance to find it for you.

 

Ring Found at Gilbert Willis Park Commerce MI- Owner Located – Wedding Ring Returned

  • from Wixom (Michigan, United States)

It was looking like spring the first week of May here in Lower Michigan so I went out to practice with a new metal detector at Gilbert Willis Park in Wixom.  It is a beautiful, large park and I often find coins there.  Like most parks it can yield a fair amount of junk.  I had invested the whole afternoon retrieving a mixture of junk and coins and was walking to my car when I had a good hit that I thought might be a quarter.  It turned out to be several items, first a penny and a dime in the hole, and then a diamond ring in the clump.

Sentimentally, this ring might just be the most valuable thing I have ever found.   It bore the design of half a heart with a diamond, it had an inscription and a date that indicated the ring owner had been married only a year and a half ago. The inscription “No Matter What” instantly fired my determination to find the owner.  I was enjoying the thought of returning the ring even before I had the hole filled.

I ran into a lot of dead ends on this one until I enlisted the help of a local realtor, Liz Stevenson, and the Neighborhood Exchange newsletter which she has published monthly for at least 20 years.  Everyone reads the free ads on the back of the newsletter.  I placed an ad in the July issue.   Sherry called me the day the newsletter was delivered to tell me about her husband Shoane’s lost ring.  I knew it was his ring when she told me of the half of a heart design that matched her ring; but I made her give me the inscription so I could be sure.

Shoane was playing baseball in the park and had removed the ring and pocketed it for safety. Sadly, he lost it when he went to the car after the game.  It was a win for the team; but losing the ring ruined the weekend.   After an exhaustive search, Shoane had just about given up hope he would ever see his ring again.   The ring lay buried in the park until the following spring.

It turns out that Shoane’s office was just down the street from the park.   I was able to drop the ring off and ring and owner were reunited.

Thank you Liz Stevenson for locating the ring owner.

Lost Tantalum Ring found on Volleyball court at Chicago Beach

  • from Chicago (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Received a call regarding a lost ring on a volleyball court.

Told me he lost it on Friday and contacted me on Tuesday, our courts are hit hard over the weekend so I really did not have high hopes of finding it but told him will give it my best shot.

This the first time I have been asked to find a Tantalum ring, honestly never even heard of it before this.

The old adage applies, they are never found where you think they should be, after about an hour of searching with no luck, I broadened my search area and hit it about 50 feet where he thought it would be, any way no matter happy ending..

Engagement Ring Lost On Country Road Near Holden, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

 

Brandon called me yesterday afternoon asking if it was possible for me to come out to Holden and look for his girlfriends lost engagement ring.  After asking Brandon a few questions I agreed to meet him around 5Pm.

I met up with Brandon in the town of Holden,  then drove another 5 miles to the location where the ring was lost.  The area consisted of 1/4 mile of gravel road and Brandon told me she was walking along the side of the road heading east which meant the ring could als0 be in the ditch. After 2 hours of searching the ring was found on the road and Brandon was so relieved to have the ring back that he immediately called his girlfriend to tell her the good news.

Thank you Brandon for entrusting me to find your lost Ring.

 

 

 

 

Long Beach Island NJ Lost Wedding Rings Found

I will let Jeanette explain the circumstances of our meeting…

Life Lesson 63: Never wear jewelry to the beach.

Life Lesson 64: If you do, never take it off to apply lotion.

And so it happened …

A beautiful, relaxing summer afternoon at the beach turned into the loss of my Cartier trinity ring. I had ignored those two life lessons, gotten distracted and now I was in a frantic search for my precious wedding band that had disappeared in the sand. We retraced my steps, sifted through piles of sand, all to no avail.

Early the next morning, while combing the beach again, I met a fisherman who told me about Dave, “the metal detecting man.” He said he had great results. I contacted him and explained my tale of woe. Dave, who lives at least an hour from Long Beach Island, promised he would do his best, but it would take some time.

On a rainy Saturday morning, about 10 days after my misfortune, I got a call from Dave. He had recovered my ring. My precious ring is back on my finger again.

We need more Daves in this world. He took the time to help a stranger in need – a life lesson in itself. Dave exemplified how to live. And I’m not the only lucky one who has been helped. Dave has been doing this for many years and has a treasure chest full of heartwarming stories to share. In a time when headlines are dominated by self-interest, here is a story of selflessness. People like Dave should be highlighted and celebrated. Thank you, Dave, the metal detecting man.

Lost Texas A&M Ring Canyon Lake, Texas found by John Volek TRF-Houston

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Lost Texas A&M Ring Canyon Lake, Texas
I was contacted by Kelly, a Comal Country Deputy Sheriff who was looking for someone to help find her brothers Texas A&M Class Ring…
Kelly posted a comment amongst some of her friends on Facebook, and a fellow Police Officer responded that they new just the right person.
I spoke to Kelly a short time later and she explained that her brother Brian had lost his new Texas A&M Class Ring in a swim area in Canyon Lake.
Kelly put me in contact with Brian, and he provided additional details on his ring and the location lost. Brain indicated he was having a get together with some of his former military brothers at Canyon Lake.
Brain said it was during this event that he lost his new ring. Brian said while swimming in the lake, he felt his ring slip off and drop down to about the 8-foot mark. Brian said he tried effortlessly to recover his ring that afternoon.
Brian indicated he returned the following day with some dive gear and made another effort at recovering his lost ring, but he had no success.
I am guessing it was during this point, that his sister got wind of the situation and started her own investigation!
Kelly and Brian both provided photographs of the search location…and Brian was very confident he had a very good idea of where the ring had come off his hand.
I contacted my partner Carl to see if he was up for a 6 hour round trip dive adventure to Canyon Lake…
We made final arrangements with Brian to meet him at the location on Sunday morning to search for his lost ring.
