Mike lost his wedding band while tossing a ball with his nephew at a local beach. He was in approx. 4 to 5 feet of water and actually watched it drop into the water. He and his family searched the area and couldn’t find the ring. Mike got on his phone and searched how to find a lost ring in the water and theringfinders.com came up. He gave me a call and we set up a search for the next morning. This beach is detected a lot and I knew it would be wise to search as fast as possible, also I knew the beach would be very clean of any other objects. This helps, so I don’t have to remove old trash. Mike thought it was chest deep and I searched for an hour or so with no hits. He thought it must be in deeper water, which requires scuba diving. So, I went back home and got my gear. I searched again and nothing, so I decided to go into the shallower area and I found it in about 2 to 2 1/2 feet of water. Ya just can’t give up the search and you have to expand the area, as I ‘ve learned through years of recoveries. Who knows what happened, all that matters is Mike has his wedding band back where it belongs!

Congrats Mike.

Minnesota1960 Class Ring Recovered in Wisconsin

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

One of the many reasons I love my job!!! As I was on a scuba wedding ring search in Wisconsin, I found a 1960 Minnesota Class Ring. Class rings are exciting to find as they have all the information needed to find it’s owner. The high school, the graduation year and the initials of the owner. The person who lost this would now be 83 years old. After 40+ years of metal detecting, I could tell by the depth of rock/sand/muck this ring was found in, she lost it over 60 years ago. I called the library for the city the school is in. I talked to a young lady and told her what I was looking for, she was almost as excited as I was to find the name of the ring owner. She scanned the 1960 yearbook for the initials I gave her and it could only be one person.  She gave me her name “Beth” and now the internet search starts to locate the ring owner. There was no information with her name though I found an obituary for Beth’s mother, it had all the children listed(10) and I started searching for those names. I came across an add on “Next Door” for a small business that Beth’s sister has. I called and talked to Sarah. Sarah informed me that Beth had past away a few years back. I told Sarah that I’d still like to get the ring back to the family and she told me that Beth has a son, Bill. Bill contacted me and he now has the ring in his possession.

So glad I could get this beautiful 1960 Class Ring back where it belongs.
