On my way home from a Fourth of July vacation I met the couple at the location, After the husband gave me the search area, I went right to work and found it in about 10 minutes. It was the very first signal that I got. They were both very happy to get it back.

Mike had been playing volleyball at the beach with friends when his wedding ring came off and disappeared in the sand. He was wondering if I would be able to help, and I let him know that I would leave immediately to come and help
When I got to the area, we found each other, and Mike took me over to the area of the loss. He explained to me what he had done to create the loss, so I started my search. Just a few minutes later, I had his ring, and he was just overjoyed to have it back. To see such joy really makes this service fun.

Lindsay lost her earring while playing volleyball at the beach. I let her know I would be right over to help her in the search.
I got there, and she showed me where she had been playing. It was a very small earring, so I changed the program on my detector to find very small items, and began my search. After about 10 minutes of searching a very clean patch of sand, I received a solid signal, dug, and found the earring, which she was happy to have back.

I received a call from Abraham regarding a ring he had lost in the sand at the beach. It had happened just a few hours prior, and he remained there, so the chances of a recovery were quite good. I prepared my equipment, and headed out for the search.
It was dark already when I got to the beach, but was able to find Abraham and his wife. They led me out to the area of the loss, and explained what happened. I began my search working in a tight grid, pass after pass finding some metal items, but not the ring. but then on one of the passes I received the signal I was looking for. I dug with my scoop, and shook out the sand, seeing a bright ring in the light of my headlight. I held it up for them, and they came over very excited to see it again. It was a great night for all.

Brandon was out in his kayak enjoying the nice weather and the calm waters for fishing. When he got back on the dock, he realized his phone was missing. He was able to put me in the suspect area because of the last ping. I tested water depth and immediately went to get my dive gear. 5 minutes after decending on my downline I located it. Always an honor to help someone out and enjoy a new place to dive.
On the morning of June 25, 2026, I received a message from my longtime friend Jaymie about a lost ring posted on Facebook. Upon reading the post and noticing that it was just a half-mile away, I quickly messaged the individual. While waiting for a response, I was contacted by Bob Mairs, the administrator of Saint Augustine Treasure Hunters, about the same ring. I informed him that I was on my way to the location. Bob coordinated with the post originator while I prepared and drove to the spot.
The evening before, Michael had just proposed to Sadie on the beach. The love and joy of the moment, coupled with the setting sun and their special location, made it an incredibly memorable occasion. As they strolled in the shallow water of the beach, celebrating their new life together, the ring slipped off Sadie’s finger. They frantically searched for it, but within 20 minutes of their joyous moment, the engagement ring was gone.
This wasn’t just any engagement ring; it held immense sentimental and emotional value. It was a symbol of the deep bond of love between a mother and daughter. Michael had proposed using Sadie’s late mother’s ring. Sadie’s mother had tragically passed away in a motor vehicle accident when she was a young child. The only remaining possession of her mother was this engagement ring. I can only imagine the devastation that was coursing through Sadie’s heart and mind as she desperately searched for her ring.
Driving to the location, I prayed that I could find the ring before I had to leave for my VA appointment in Jacksonville. Fortunately, Bob managed to connect with Michael’s mother and informed me that they would meet me at the location. When I arrived, Sadie and Michael were both there and pointed to the area where the ring had been lost. Fortunately, the tide was approximately the same as when they had lost the ring 12+ hours earlier. Quickly covering the shallow water area, I didn’t have to wait long before I heard a beautiful tone in my headset.
Within my first scoop, I spotted the ring. Safely keeping it inside the scoop, I stepped out of the water onto the beach. I beckoned them to join me. Even with her sunglasses on, Sadie’s eyes and smile conveyed her excitement. I mentioned that I needed to leave immediately for a medical appointment. We exchanged hugs, shook hands, and they expressed their immense gratitude. Later that morning, I received a personal message that revealed the ring’s significance to this young lady. I must admit that my wife and I both shed tears after reading her message.

Successful Recovery of Her Late Mother’s Ring
The immense sentimental and emotional value of this ring is beyond priceless. It is a symbol of deep love between a mother and daughter.
🚨 SACO RIVER SUCCESS: Independence Day Ring Rescue! 🎆
💍On Friday, July 3rd, I received a call from Sam. Her husband, Matt, had been tubing on The Saco River at Rotary Park in Biddeford, Maine—just 3–4 miles from my house.
While tubing, Matt felt his white gold wedding ring slip right off his finger.
He dove in after it, but after an hour of searching, he came up empty-handed.
Sam wanted to know if this was something we could help with. I told her we absolutely do water recoveries!
I’ve searched Rotary Park before; while it’s not a complicated grid, the riverbed has a brutal, hard clay bottom that makes digging with our scoops incredibly tough.
Sam said Matt would be in touch.📞
The Morning Plan & Tag-Teaming the Search
The next morning, Matt called with the exact details:
Depth: 4 to 5 feet of water 🌊
Location: Inside the buoys at Rotary Park
Current: Very minimal
Bottom: A mix of sand, hard clay, and thick vegetation 🌿
Perfect! I told Matt I could search up to five feet deep, but I wasn’t available for another hour and a half.
Instead of making him wait, I called fellow Ring Finder Gary Hill, who lives just 20 minutes away.
Gary could start grid-searching immediately until I could get there.
Matt rushed to meet him.
Within 30 minutes, Gary was out the door with his Minelab Excalibur diving metal detector, ready to dive in! 🤿🏎️
Double Booking: A Second Emergency Call!
Once I got home, I started loading up my own Minelab Excalibur to head to the river.
Just as I was packing up, my phone rang again.
A frantic caller at Long Sands Beach in York Beach, Maine, had just lost a gold wedding ring in the sand 30 minutes prior.
With Gary already handling the river, I made a quick executive decision:
I left the Saco River search entirely in Gary’s capable hands and jumped onto the Maine Turnpike toward York.
I was barely on the highway when my phone buzzed. A text from Gary read:
“RING FOUND 4 1/2 FEET DEEP.” 🥳🔥
OUTSTANDING!
I called Gary immediately to congratulate him on an incredible water recovery before continuing down to my beach call.🤿
Mud, Branches, and Teamwork: How It Happened
Gary later gave me the breakdown of how they pulled it off.
Matt took Gary directly to the drop zone.
Matt even brought his snorkeling goggles to help search visually while Gary executed a tight grid search with his detector.
Gary started at three feet deep and worked his way deeper.
He hit a few random targets, but nothing with that distinct gold tone.
He kept digging anyway.
After about 30 minutes, Gary pushed out into 4.5 feet of water.
BOOM.
A loud, low-tone target blasted through his headphones. Gary knew instantly: this was the wedding ring. 🎯
But there was a catch. The target was trapped under decayed vegetation and a layer of compacted, rock-hard clay and sand.
Gary’s scoop couldn’t break through.
So, the duo improvised:
Gary held his detector coil directly over the target to lock down the location. 📍
Matt took a deep breath, dove to the bottom, and grabbed a massive handful of the leaves, roots, and debris. 🌿
They brought the pile to the surface together to sift through it.
As they cleared away the mud and branches… a beautiful white gold ring appeared! 💎✨
🇺🇸 The Best Way to Spend July 4th.
Mission accomplished!
Matt let out a massive celebratory yell, smiling ear to ear. They headed back to shore, where Matt couldn’t wait to call Sam with the life-saving news.
What a phenomenal way to spend the 4th of July weekend—in the water, saving the day, and making sure a piece of family history wasn’t lost forever.
Happy 250th Anniversary, America!
This is a holiday Matt and Gary will never forget. 🏛️❤️
Later that afternoon, Matt sent a text:
“Thank you so much for setting this up and I’m so excited we found it. Have a GREAT 4TH.”
Talking with Gary later, he perfectly summed up why we do this:
“I really do have the best job in the world, and I love my job.” 🥰

15 June, 2026 I woke up to a Facebook message about a pair of lost rings (wedding and engagement ring set) on Crescent Beach. Reading the information and knowing the area well I knew exactly which part of Crescent Beach to search. I left a note for my wife and out the door I went in hopes of recovering the rings before the tide came in.
The couple, Katelyn and Joseph, were relaxing on Crescent Beach the day before when a fast approaching storm hit. They both rushed to get themselves and their gear back to their vehicle. In their rush they had forgot Katelyn’s rings being tucked safely away in the pocked of the tent. Quickly they went back looking for them. The wind was blowing the sand around making a surface find improbable. Keeping their composure they took photos and videos of the area the rings were lost and noted the time. This information is vital for a quick recovery. Photos (GPS location) assist in narrowing down the search area and the time helps us determine the tide cycles since they were lost.
Going by the information they provided, I started my search pattern just before 5:00am. Not having the couple there to pin point the area made for a larger search area. I slowly gridded the area north and south. Starting at a western point and working my way towards the surf. After 45 minutes of searching I finally came across a good and shallow signal. I was extremely grateful both rings were in my scoop when I pulled it up.
I immediately took a photo and sent it to Joseph to let him know Katelyn’s rings were safely in my hands and gave him my phone number. Packed up my gear and headed home with this wonderful feeling of accomplishment. About an hour later I received a call from him. The gratitude in his voice and words were heartwarming.
We arranged a time to meet that day so I could return the rings. Several hours later, I received a call Joseph was able to get out of work early and was heading my way. Seeing the smiles on Katelyn’s face as she exited the vehicle was priceless. I presented her the rings and received a heartfelt hug and words of blessed thanks. Moments like these are the reason we are members of The Ring Finders.
Another successful recovery and amazing memory was made that day. If you happen to lose something important please reach out to the The Ring Finder in your area.

Blessed to be able to return these ring to this young lady.
Wedding & Engagement Ring Set recovered on Crescent beach, FL
This weekend was awesome!
I started it by meeting my two new friends, Lawson and Jordyn, at the crack of dawn in Fort Morgan. The day before, they had been throwing a football in the Gulf when Jordyn suddenly felt her ring slip off her finger. It was actually three rings—her engagement ring with the two wedding bands soldered to it. When she called, I knew I needed to make the long drive over the next morning.
It was a beautiful morning, and something big was chasing huge schools of mullet in the deeper, darker water. It was a little spooky… but also pretty exciting.
After about an hour and a half of searching, I started to realize the rings weren’t where we thought they should be. Jordyn is pretty athletic, so I figured she may have chased the football into deeper water. The tide was also over a foot higher than it had been the day before, so I worked my way out until the water was up to my ribs, keeping one eye on the detector and the other on the dark shapes moving beneath the mullet schools.
Thankfully, I didn’t have to go much farther before I heard an unmistakable, booming gold tone. (That’s what three gold rings together will do! 😃)
When I looked into my scoop and saw the rings, I knew I was about to make two people very happy.
The teary-eyed hug from Jordyn and the sincere handshake from Lawson said it all. Those special rings represent so many memories, and I was grateful to help put them back where they belong.
Thanks for trusting me, y’all! I’m so glad I could help.
