LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.

Frequently Asked Question:

Should I rent a metal detector to find my lost ring at Port Hueneme Beach?

Metal detector rentals in Port Hueneme and Oxnard are rarely the right solution. Beach recoveries require professional-grade equipment, knowledge of tide patterns, sand movement, and search grid technique that takes years to develop. Most people who attempt a DIY recovery with a rental metal detector come home empty handed — and every hour that passes makes recovery harder. Call Dave The RingFinder at 805-290-5009 instead.


Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Port Hueneme Beach — Against the Clock

Metal detecting ring recovery — Port Hueneme, Oxnard, and Ventura County beaches

Late Sunday evening Dave got a call from Maclovio, who had lost his wedding ring somewhere on the beach at Port Hueneme — between the pier and the lifeguard tower to the north. The challenge was immediate and two-fold: that stretch of Port Hueneme Beach covers a lot of sand, and the only window Dave had to search was 4:30am — he had to be at work by 7am. Port Hueneme is a 45-minute drive, which left just 90 minutes on the beach before he had to leave.

Maclovio had sent Dave a pin and a photo of the skyline looking back toward the condos. He remembered being at the top of the slope near a trash can — but that was the only landmark he had.

Dave arrived in the dark and spent the first half hour working the area methodically, pulling quarters and dimes but no ring. When the sun came up he looked at Maclovio’s photo again and realized something critical — Maclovio had pointed him to the wrong trash can. The actual loss location was further down the beach.

With only 15 minutes left before he had to walk back to the car, Dave raced to the spot that made the most sense — and found a tide pool that had formed overnight, complicating the search further. He worked as fast as he could, systematically covering the area, but the clock was running out.

With three minutes left Dave stopped, bowed his head, and asked God to show him where the ring was.

He moved to the edge of the tide pool and made one more pass. A sweet tone rang through his headphones. He drove his scoop into the sand, lifted it, shook it out — and there was Maclovio’s wedding ring.

He raced to his car, sent Maclovio a photo, and got the confirmation back immediately — it was his ring. Another Port Hueneme beach recovery complete.


Don’t Wait — Time Is Critical After a Ring Loss in Ventura or Santa Barbara County

Whether you lost a ring, necklace, bracelet, or other jewelry on a Port Hueneme or Oxnard beach, in shallow surf, in a backyard, at a park, or in an open field — the clock starts the moment it’s gone. Shifting tides, moving sand, and other detectorists can all work against recovery the longer you wait.

Lost ring in the bay what should I do? Warerown NJ, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Edward Trapper NJ ring Finder returning ring recovered from the bay

I received a call from Max, who was pretty upset after losing his wedding band of many years while cleaning his boat. He explained that he was standing on the dock washing the boat when the hose became snagged on something behind him. As he gave the hose a hard pull across his chest with his left hand, the snag suddenly released. Because his hands were wet and soapy, his grip slipped and his hand flew outward to the side. At that exact moment, his wedding ring launched right off his finger and disappeared into the lagoon.

Max was certain the ring had only flown a few feet from the boat and carefully explained exactly where he had been standing and the motion that caused it to come off. Although he couldn’t make it back down to the house, he drew me a very detailed map of the area and showed me precisely where everything happened.

This was going to be a difficult recovery. The lagoon was deep, the bottom terrain was uneven, and the dark black water had absolutely zero visibility. Recoveries like this require careful underwater grid searches and a lot of patience.

On day one, I spent over three hours underwater methodically searching the mapped-out area, but unfortunately the search came up empty. I called Max afterward and showed him exactly where I had searched. He was shocked the ring hadn’t turned up because everyone believed it had to be close to the boat.

We agreed to give it another shot the following day. As we mapped out the next section, I had a strong feeling the ring may have traveled much farther than anyone expected. We started right where the previous search ended and slowly worked our way farther toward the middle of the lagoon.

Nearly two hours into the second search, right at the edge of the new grid, I heard a very promising signal through the headphones. Buried deep in the black mud was Max’s wedding band!

The ring ended up being far farther from the boat than anyone would have imagined — likely close to 20 feet away from where it came off his finger. This is probably the furthest distance I’ve ever recovered a ring from the actual point where it was lost.

After getting everything cleaned up, rinsed off, and loading my gear back into the truck, I decided to have a little fun with Max before giving away the result. I called him and told him we had found a few things on the bottom and that I had sent some pictures over. First came the photos of soda cans, pull tabs, beer bottle caps, and other debris from the lagoon floor. Then in the final picture was his wedding ring sitting safely in my hand.

I had him on speakerphone and could hear the absolute joy and disbelief in his voice the moment he saw it. Max admitted most people would have completely given up after the first search because nobody would ever expect the ring to travel that far.

Another incredible recovery completed!

When Eileen was enjoying a beautiful afternoon on the beach in Avalon, New Jersey, the last thing she expected was to lose one of her favorite earrings.
While relaxing in the sand, her gold and sapphire earring suddenly slipped from her ear and disappeared into the beach. Like most people would, Eileen and her family immediately began searching the area. They carefully sifted through the sand and retraced their steps, but the earring seemed to have vanished.
Realizing they needed professional help, Eileen contacted John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey, a trusted lost jewelry recovery specialist serving Avalon, NJ and the surrounding Jersey Shore communities.
After receiving the call, I gathered my equipment and arrived at the beach within 15 minutes. Eileen showed me the area where she believed the earring had fallen. After listening carefully to the details and setting up my metal detector, I began a systematic search.
Within just a few minutes, the detector gave a strong signal.
There it was.
Buried beneath the sand was Eileen’s missing gold and sapphire earring.
The relief on her face was immediate. What started as a stressful afternoon quickly turned into a happy ending as the earring was safely returned and placed back in her ear.
Stories like this are why I love helping beachgoers throughout Avalon and Cape May County. Valuable jewelry can disappear in seconds, but with specialized metal detecting equipment and experience, many lost items can be recovered.

Received a message from Joe this past Tuesday evening. Joe explained that last Sunday he was at the beach on 7th street in North Wildwood with family. At some point, while on the beach, his wedding band fell off. Joe didnt realize this until he was on his way home on Rt55 near Elmer NJ. After gathering some details from Joe and checking the forecast and tide tables I figured that I would give it a shot the next morning at low tide. I took the short ride over from home and after about 25 minutes of searching, I swung my coil over a really clean solid signal. One scoop later I had Joes ring in my scoop! I texted Joe a picture and to his disbelief it was, in fact, his ring! Joe and his family came by today and picked up his ring. He informed me that he lost the ring the day before his 8th anniversary. Another successful recovery, another happy couple! See the very nice note they wrote in the pics.

Lost ring Parker co…found

A true store, I joined the ring finders and no more then 24 hours I get a call to find a ring. I had just talked to Chris the ceo of the ring finders the night before and he gave me some awesome tips. So I took the job. The older gentleman that called said he lost his ring while planting flowers for his partner. And this ring belonged to his grandfather so it ment the world to him.  He had a pretty good search area. It only took about 20min and I had found his ring. We both were so excited. It went so perfect I thought Chris had set me up. This is the best job ever.  I absolutely love it.
