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

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

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.

The beach erupted in cheers! Samantha was thrilled, her friends celebrated, and we all ended the night on the best note possible.

Wedding Ring Recovered in Durham!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

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

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

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.

Engagement ring lost at Coronado found

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

Jessica and her family are visiting here in San Diego and spent the day at the beach in Coronado. She removed her three rings and put them in a fanny pack to keep them safe.  On their way back to their hotel, she went to put her rings back on and only found two of them. She had been in the fanny pack a few times to remove her phone, so, that’s probably when the ring accidentally got pulled out. Panic set in and she returned to the beach to hopefully find the missing engagement ring. As we all know, soft sand will swallow a ring in an instant, and running fingers like a rake to find a small item like that rarely works. Jessica searched online for help and made contact with fellow RingFinder Curtis Cox, who is about an hour north of us. He recommended she call me….Thanks Curtis! I headed over right away and found traffic was horrible! A Sunday afternoon during the summer is always a pain with traffic and parking in Coronado, but, this was really bad due to an accident on the bridge over to the island. An hour later, and parking a mile away, I finally made it to the search area to meet Jessica. She knew where they were camped earlier that day and I started my grid search. First pass I found a quarter. Second pass, nothing. At the end of the third pass I got a nice reading of 20 on my Equinox 900. I told Jessica that this was a promising signal, but, lots of trash signals can read the same. A shallow poke in the sand with my pin pointer revealed what we hoped it would be…..a beautiful engagement ring.  A grateful and very happy Jessica can now enjoy the rest of her stay here before heading home in the morning. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Dennis, MA…”The ONE and ONLY Ring” Found and Returned by Richard Browne

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

July 31, 2025 On the 29th I received a call from Kyle requesting help in finding his ring. He had seen it drop off his finger into the water of Cape Cod Bay. A description was received in a text: “Beveled gold ring with “always” engraved on the inside.” Unfortunately I was out looking for another’s lost wedding band and would not be able to help until the next morning’s tide. We passed a couple of pin marks on a map and I was ready for a search in the morning.

I searched the marked out area for a couple of hours in the morning and not finding the ring, I would go back for the evening tide. The evening’s search in an enlarger area did not produce the ring either. A few more texts and a new picture of the area showed the ring might be a bit further west than I had been searching. Then the question came from Kyle…”Do you know what time you might look again? I would love to come meet you if possible.” Of course. I, for some reason, assumed Kyle was not on the Cape when we were texting. I was wrong. So we set the time for 6:30PM, just before low tide.

It is always best to have the person who lost the object to be at the search sight so they may answer questions about the loss and stand in the area they thought the loss occurred. Most times the area is not where map pin marks are given, some times only off by a few feet and once a wife was actually standing on the ring. On another occasion a large rock had been put on top of the lost ring. On a third case; scattered coins were only off by the difference in tide height of when the ring was lost and where the coins were dropped.

We met at the beach and I lined up using the photos which I learned were taken that morning, not two days ago when the ring was lost. A comment on buying a replacement ring was made. Briana sharply replied to with “The ONE and ONLY Ring” is in the water, no replacement ring will do! The more I searched the more I was told “further out”, “closer in”, further west maybe to the east. None of the area adjustments put me on top of the ring, not even the area were Kyle came into the water and stood were he “lost the ring”. I went back to the shore line again, asking for more information. Well maybe a bit more west, but not that far out. OK, I turned and without taking a step, swug the detector and got the best signal I had heard all day. I took the headphones off so Briana could hear what I was listening for. Then I took one scoop, and you bet…The Ring was in my scoop.

Nothing out of the ordinary transpired on the way back to the car. Pictures a few tidbits about The Ring and lastly, many thanks, a hug, and a couple of ideas of how not to loose a ring at the beach were discussed. A good bye and we were all off for an evening of sleep without the worry if “The One and Only Ring” would ever be seen again.

Lost a ring in Ocean City, New Jersey?

Call John

Kevin was enjoying a beach day in Ocean City, NJ when his wedding band was accidentally lost in the sand. While reaching into the beach cart, the ring slipped out of the pocket without him noticing. By the time he realized it was missing, it was too late—the sand had already hidden it.

His mother-in-law, Karen, quickly searched online and gave me a call. She described the situation and gave me a detailed location of where they believed the ring had fallen. I arrived at the beach within 30 minutes and met them near the scene.

The beach conditions were ideal—flat sand and not overly crowded. I grabbed my metal detector and started a tight grid search in the area they had pointed out.

After only a few passes, I picked up a strong signal. I scooped carefully, and there it was—Kevin’s lost wedding band, just beneath the surface.

The moment I handed it back was unforgettable. Smiles, cheers, and pure relief filled the air. Kevin was thrilled to have his wedding ring back, and Karen was grateful for the quick response.

This is why I do what I do—helping people recover their precious items lost on the beach.

If you’ve lost a ring or jewelry in Ocean City, NJ, don’t wait. Call or text Ring Finders South Jersey right away. The faster you act, the better the chance of recovery before tides or foot traffic move it.

Thanks again to Karen for reaching out and trusting me with this important recovery.

Another happy ending—and another ring returned on the Jersey Shore!

Super quick recovery, super short story. I received a message from Bethann. She explained that her husband lost his ring on Trenton Ave beach while playing with their grandchildren in the sand. Rode over and met up with the couple on the beach minutes after she messaged me. After a very brief discussion and search I managed to recover the ring in about 30 seconds. Granted they’re not always that fast, but it nice when they are. Regardless of how long it takes, I always take the time to provide the very best service and search techniques for my clients. Another happy couple!
