Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797

This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.

She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.

Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.

A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.

When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.

As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”

I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.

“I GOT IT!”

Yeah… I yelled.

Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.

I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.

Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…

“I found it!”

Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.

So today somehow turned into two happy endings. 😉

Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. 😂

One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.

You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.

Need a metal detector to find lost ring on Miami Beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)

Need a metal detecting service to find your lost jewelry, call / text Louis at (305) 608-1870. I’ve been metal detecting for almost 15 years and helping people recover their lost jewelry.

In the picture above this couple placed their wedding rings in a towel and when they went to dry off, the rings went flying but didn’t realize it until later.  Once rings hit the sand and you walk over it for a few minutes they dig themselves in a couple of inches under the sand and are almost impossible to find.  Luckily, they came across my number on the Internet and I was able to go out there and find both of them within minutes.  So if you’re in the same situation, whether it’s in the sand or in the water, give me a call

John The Ring Finder

I got a call from Annie, the sister of a man named Jim. She sounded worried and emotional.

Jim had lost his white gold wedding band while swimming in the ocean at Sea Isle City, New Jersey.

A powerful wave hit him, and the ring slipped off his finger into the rough water.

Annie explained everything over the phone. The family was upset and hoping I could help recover the ring.

As Ring Finder John, I’ve recovered many rings along the Jersey Shore. This wasn’t my first Sea Isle search.

I met Jim and the family at the next low tide. The ocean was still rough and churning.

Jim showed me the area where the ring had likely fallen off. We hoped to find it quickly.

After hours of searching, I came up empty. No sign of the wedding band that day.

I returned the next low tide. Conditions were still difficult. Waves and shifting sands made recovery harder.

Again, no luck. But I wasn’t giving up on this lost ring in Sea Isle City just yet.

For the next few days, I watched tide charts closely and waited for calmer water conditions.

On the seventh day, I returned during low tide. The ocean had finally calmed a little.

While scanning the area, I got a deep, solid signal in the wet sand.

I dug carefully—and there it was! A beautiful white gold wedding band, shining in the sunlight.

After seven days underwater, I finally held it in my hand.

I called the family right away. Jim was thrilled beyond words when he saw his lost wedding ring.

He slipped it back on his finger, smiling with relief and joy. The whole family was grateful.

Recovering a lost ring in the ocean takes patience and persistence—but it’s always worth it.

This is why I love what I do as Ring Finder John.

If you’ve lost a ring in Sea Isle City or the Jersey Shore, don’t give up hope.

Stunning 18k diamond and sapphire ring recovered from the lake

  • from Vernon (British Columbia, Canada)

Gorgeous 18k ring scooped from the lake

It still has the sand on it!

Late in the afternoon I received a call from Tammy. She had recently driven from Fort St. John in northern British Columbia Canada to our beautiful Okanagan to shop for items she could not find at home. She decided to stop along the highway to spend a bit of time by the lake and ventured into the water.  While in the water, she unfortunately lost her footing and fell into the lake. When she left the water and returned to her truck she suddenly realized her ring was gone. Tammy was very upset and sought help from several strangers who aided her in looking for her lost ring. They even rented a metal detector but sadly they were not able to locate the ring. A friend told her about The Ring Finders and she called me and asked me to help find her lost ring. I told Tammy that I would meet her within the hour, packed my gear and headed to her location. They showed me where she had entered the water and approximately where she had fallen. At first I thought that the recovery would be very simple as it was not a busy public beach and the ring would be easy to locate. Unfortunately, the water was full of trash that made the search quite difficult. I checked the area where she first fell and was not successful so I started my grid towards the shore where she originally exited the lake. A few minutes had passed and I could sense that Tammy was fearing the worst and may never again see her most prized ring. I got a really nice signal closer to shore and there in the scoop was a gorgeous 18k white gold ring with diamonds and sapphires. Tears of joy came across Tammy when she put the ring back on her finger. She could not believe that I was able to locate her ring in the lake!

I have to say, and in fact I told her so, that I thought it was one of the most beautiful rings I had ever seen.

 

I can’t believe you found it! I am so happy.

Ring missing for 6-months found! – Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin resident, Narciso was visiting with his girlfriend back in October 2024. When she stepped out for a walk with the dog it suddenly pulled on the leash and dislodged her precious ring in the grass. The couple looked and looked but the ring was nowhere to be seen. The weeks turned into months. Narciso even purchased a metal detector. Unfortunately, the area was loaded with metallic objects and leftover construction debris. It was now the end of April, 2025. Was the ring still there? Had a crow taken off with it? The couple had just about given up ever seeing it again. That’s when he found me on The Ring Finder’s directory of metal-detecting specialists and reached out.

I arrived early in the morning of April 26. Narciso led me to the area by the house where the ring had disappeared. I saw evidence of digging and of grass mashed down, evidence of Narciso’s search efforts. He explained how the machine he purchased made so much noise, he was not able to make sense of it. Perhaps I could ferret out the ring from all the din.

It didn’t take long to isolate the probable location. Amongst the cacophony of sounds and signals emitted by my detector, one signal in particular stood out. The conductivity numbers indicated a target in the deep grass that was consistent with a small gold ring. Having caught a glimpse of gold, I gave a pinpointing device to Narciso and let him enjoy the discovery and retrieval for himself. His smile tells the rest of the story.

Lost Ring in the Overland Park Snow

  • from Kansas City (Missouri, United States)

Check out the YouTube video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9epYUkycuk4

After a recent arctic blast, Ted cleaned the snow off a car in his driveway, then departed in his own car parked on the street.  Shortly after, he realized his wedding band was missing.  He contacted me and we braved the 15 degree temps looking for his ring.  No luck in the driveway but wouldn’t you know, right on the snow packed street, I swung over a strong signal.  He was fortunate the snowplow didn’t move it.  I am fortunate to have another happy (but cold) customer!

Lost Aggie Ring in Coppell,Tx

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

What a fun search, we got a call from a retired Fire Chief in Lewisville, Texas.  He was helping out with a community Fundraiser where they pushed 40,000 Yellow Duckies off the falls and each duck had a value, they raised over $200,000 but our Aggie while pushing the final Duckies off the falls his Aggie Ring flew off into the pond.
He was very distraught over loosing his ring and tried to rent a Metal Detector but not knowing how to use it was a challenge, he actually was talking to the Fire Department Rescue Scuba Divers about trying to find it for him when he found “The Ring Finders” and called us.

Ellen and I met him on Tuesday morning and found his ring, I love what we do….

This was an interesting recovery.  Somehow, her ring managed to fly off the third story balcony while doing her hair and land in the bushes below.  After all of us looking for a few hours, my detector located it almost 50 ft away!  We were all excited I was able to reunite them with her matching custom rings
