Wedding set recovered in Asbury Park NJ

Contact:

Recovery in Asbury Park NJ Dennis Burlingame. 908 489 2371, Got a call from Tina asking for help in finding her wedding set she lost on Asbury Park beach. Told her I’d be there as soon as possible. She met me at the beach entrance and took me where she was sitting. Seems while enjoying the day at the beach she took off her rings and placed them in her husbands hat while putting lotion on her daughter’s, but didnt let her husband know they were there. He went to put his hat on and the rings through out into the sand. I search an area they thought they might of landed but didnt hear them. I moved under the tent they had set up and got my first signal and out came ring number 1 just behind her husbands chair. Had her move the chair and found the second one under where his chair was sitting. She couldnt believe how quick I found them. A great happy ending to what could of been a sad day.

22K Tibetan Gold Wedding Ring Lost at BlackMud Creek Community Center Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

Mandeep contacted me around 6 p.m. requesting assistance in locating his two‑year‑old 22k yellow gold wedding band. After asking my standard questions to understand how and where it was lost, I agreed to help.

We met at the field where he had played a cricket match the previous day. Mandeep had prepared a hand‑drawn map and marked the area with yellow paint to indicate where he believed the ring had fallen. It was a large section of the field, so I continued asking questions to narrow down the search zone. He explained that while attempting to catch the ball, it grazed his finger, causing him to instinctively flick his hand—sending the ring flying somewhere onto the field.

He immediately called a time‑out, and his teammates joined him in a thorough search, but they were unable to locate the ring.

Based on his best recollection, Mandeep estimated the ring could be within a 50′ x 50′ area. I conducted a detailed search of that section for about an hour before confirming the ring was not there. Although disappointed, he remained hopeful. I reassured him that if the ring was still on the field, I would find it.

We then moved to the second marked location and spent another hour searching without success. As I reviewed the painted markings—two circles about a foot apart—I received a clean 68 VDI tone on my Manticore detector just outside the marked area. Moments later, I spotted the edge of the ring nestled in the grass.

Mandeep’s reaction was pure joy. He nearly jumped over the moon when I handed him his wedding band.

Thank you, Mandeep, for trusting me to help recover such a meaningful item.

I was out detecting a beach in Michigan when I found this Memorial pendant. It had a thumb print and a name with dates on the back. I put it on the local facebook page and was able to find the owner. It turns out that it belonged to a young man whose grandfather died. I mailed it out to him and his mother recorded a message from him thanking me. This is the most rewarding hobby to have. You can watch the full video of the find on YouTube at the ringmeister. The message from Hunter is one of the shorts.

Gold and Diamond Wedding Ring Lost In The Bridgton, Maine Grass, While Ring Bearer Was Walking Down The Aisle, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

🚨 WEDDING DAY RESCUE! 💍 A missing ring, a panicked wedding party, and a five-year-old ring bearer who thought he ruined the big day… but the story didn’t end there!

On Saturday evening, I received a phone call from Monica . She was at a wedding reception at the Tarry-A-While Resort in Bridgton, Maine . Her son, Mikel had just gotten married earlier that afternoon, and the celebration was in full swing on the property.
Monica told me that during the actual wedding ceremony, the five-year-old ring bearer had shown up at the altar with only one ring. He still had the groom’s wedding band, but the bride’s wedding ring was completely missing, from the ring pillow. YIKES!!!
After quite a bit of panic (and I’m told that is a massive understatement), a wedding guest kindly offered up her own wedding ring to the bride so the ceremony could proceed. 💍
Once the ceremony finished, the wedding party headed off to take photos on the property overlooking Highland Lake . While they were away, the guests jumped into action. Everyone searched the grass along the path taken by the young ring bearer. After a lengthy search, the ring was nowhere to be found, and everyone eventually headed to the reception.
Thankfully, Monica follows The Ring Finders of Maine and knew exactly who to call. Most of the wedding party was staying at the resort and would be checking out after a morning farewell breakfast. I promised Monica that I would be there bright and early at 7:00 AM to search the path, taken by the wedding party. I was praying I would find it before everyone left, after the breakfast.
Cheryl and I left Saco, Maine at approximately 5:00am and arrived at the resort just before 7:00 AM. Monica and Mikel quickly met us and took us to the ceremony site. The groom asked me not to use the name of the ring bearer, to protect his privacy.
The poor young ring bearer felt like he had ruined everyone’s day and was incredibly upset. Even though everyone consoled him and told him it was just an accident, he still felt terrible this morning. Of course, I will always abide by a family’s wishes. Accidents happen, and there is no need to make anyone feel worse!
Mikel showed me the muster area where the wedding party started their procession. It wasn’t a long walk to the altar, but it was a beautiful, thick, grassy lawn—the perfect place for a wedding ring to hide.
I was told the ring bearer had tripped and stumbled a few times on his way down the aisle. He never fell, but they knew the area between the guest chairs was of particular interest because that is where he got tripped up.
I decided to start the search at the muster area and walk the exact route of the procession, paying close attention to the aisle. I started slowly and worked my way toward the altar. I was getting quite a few signals, as expected at an old resort, but nothing to get excited about yet. I checked anything that resembled the signature of a woman’s gold ring using my pinpointer.
As the search continued, a few more members of the wedding party showed up to help with a visual search. As I headed straight down the aisle, Monica, Mikel, and a few others moved chairs out of the way for me.
Approaching the middle of the aisle, I received a very loud, repeatable low tone. I couldn’t see anything in the thick grass, so I used my pinpointer to pinpoint the target. As I parted the blades of grass, there it was: a white gold and diamond wedding ring! 💎
The moment I picked it up and everyone saw it, cheers and screams filled the air. The relief was immediate and genuine.
The wedding ring was found dead center in the grassy aisle, right where the young ring bearer had stumbled. It is truly amazing how easily a ring can stay completely hidden from the human eye in the grass like that.
After the usual high-fives, hugs, and handshakes, Mikel went to get his wife to present her with the ring. Their plan was to head back down to the altar before leaving and place the ring on her finger with everyone who was still there. First, though, they had to get to that breakfast. I bet the mood was much lighter this morning now that the ring was found! I truly hope the ring bearer feels much better now, too.
Cheryl and I never did meet the bride, but I know her day just got tenfold better.
Thankfully, Monica knew exactly who to call, and she was incredibly grateful for the quick response. As I always like to say: “If it matters to you, it matters to us.”
I have the best job in the world, and I love what I do!

Needle in a Haystack in Hillsboro, Alabama… FOUND!

Contact:

Alvintae “Kirk” texted me on Sunday afternoon (June 14, 2026) stating he lost a yellow gold pinky ring with an eagle (not quite a needle, but close, lol) while laying hay in his raised garden beds at his home in Hillsboro, Alabama.  Kirk recently lost some weight, and the ring was fitting him loosely.   This ring was very sentimental to Kirk because it was given to him by his late uncle about a year prior.  Our schedules didn’t line up until Friday, so we set up a search for that morning.

I made the very beautiful and peaceful 55-minute drive to Hillsboro on Friday morning.  After meeting Kirk, I had him walk me through the whole scenario and asked some clarifying questions.  Kirk really felt like his ring fell off into the first of four raised garden beds.  Unfortunately, the raised beds were made out of a thick galvanized steel that rang in around the gold range on my metal detector.  Even turning down the sensitivity didn’t get me as close as I wanted to the sides.  I also checked if I could discriminate out the metal (even though it was reading as non-ferrous) with my Nokta AccuPOINT pinpointer, but that didn’t work.

I asked Kirk to pull out the hay that was on top of the wood logs in the beds.  I would scan the hay piles with my Equinox Minelab 900 as he pulled it out.  Kirk got about ¾ of it out and I went back and scanned over the wood logs that were inside the beds, but I was still getting interference from the steel sides.  We decided to move the entire bed frame siding out of the way, so that I could get an accurate and unmasked reading.  We carefully moved the bed so that we didn’t damage a pretty plant that Kirk’s wife really likes.  As I was detecting over the back part of the remaining hay in the bed area, I received a good, repeatable 25-27 on my Nox.  I told Kirk that this was a very promising tone.  I walked over and took out my Garrett “carrot” pinpointer to narrow down the area.  I got the tone and gently brushed the hay away and there was that glimmer of gold-on-gold staring back at us!  We both let out some shouts of joy and immediately thanked the good Lord.  Kirk was so excited, relieved, and thankful that his uncle’s ring was found.

We took some photos and chatted for a few minutes before I was back on the road, headed home to Huntsville.  I’m truly blessed that I get to be a blessing to others.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless…

Losing a wedding band at the beach can turn a great day into a stressful one.

Just a few swings of my metal detector produced a strong signal.

Gold ring lost, found and returned in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

This little was playing on the sprinklers when they lost their 14k gold ring. The mom bought a metal detector and searched for hours but could not find it. She finally found Ring Finders. We searched for about an hour before it was found. My partner Jeff went over it twice without picking it up. When I went over it, it was a poor signal and read as “foil” but decided at this point to look anyways. It was the smallest child’s ring I have ever seen. They were all so happy that it was finally found!

Struck Out…….

  • from Bristol (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

Well, I wanted to share that after just 6 hours of going live I received my first call to help locate a lost Brooch. The lady informed me that it could be in her house, car, or local supermarket, but she was also in her yard working and was praying it wasn’t at the supermarket. She lived a half hour away and was a very stormy afternoon. I told her that after checking the radar to see if the storms had passed that I was enroute to her. It wasn’t a large area to cover and in less than an hour I had covered the area completely with no luck of it being there. I was hoping for a slam dunk but only had about a 25% chance it being in the grass. I’m hoping to hear that she finds it in her car or house.
