Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found & Returned to Owner – Lake Tahoe

Sugar Pine Point State Park, Lake Tahoe, California: Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found and Returned to the Owner by Metal Detector Specialist — Trevor Oxborrow.
Jack was working at the Lake Tahoe Triathlon five days ago and remembers talking off his work gloves several times throughout the day—but didn’t recognize the exact moment his wedding ring came off his finger. Later in the day, and not knowing for sure if the ring came off at Sugar Pine Point State Park, he double checked his gloves and thoroughly searched his car.
With very special words engraved on the inside of his ring and having worn this ring for decades, he knew he had to find it.
Being from Reno, Jack initially contacted Ring Finder—Michael Dewey, who happened to be out of town, so Michael forwarded Jack’s contact info to me.
I called Jack and arranged to meet him at Sugar Pine Point State Park at 10am. I arrived at 9:45am and few minutes later got a call from Jack who explained he was delayed by thirty minutes. He described, over the phone, one of the possible search locations and encouraged me to begin. I searched the area for twenty five minutes with only one target—a 1982 penny. My second solid target turned out to be Jack’s Special Lost Platinum Wedding Ring.
I immediately called Jack, who had been delayed again, and he couldn’t believe I had already found his ring.
We arranged to meet in Tahoe City.
I could tell that Jack was so relieved and happy to have his Special Ring back on his finger.

Lost diamond ring in surf at Daytona Beach Florida recovered by Mike McInroe…Florida Ring Finder.

The very best metal detecting service in Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…so call or text me anytime at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

I received a frantic call from Darryl while he was actually standing in the ocean in front of a popular beach hotel! He went on to explain how his wife had lost her diamond engagement ring in knee deep water and he needed someone with a metal detector right away! It was a good one hour drive for me so I gave Darryl a local Ring Finders number and told him I would be praying that he could get the help he needed. Later that evening I texted Darryl to see if his wife’s lost diamond ring was recovered but it was not. According to the time that the ring was lost the tide was coming up and was getting close to high tide and the tide chart indicated that the next low tide was at 2:30 am the next morning and I figured that that would be the best optimal time to do a thorough search. I decided to text my friend, the local Ring Finder and ask if he would mind if I could go out in the middle of the night and look for Darryl’s wife’s lost diamond ring. There was an absolutely beautiful full moon and Darryl had given me very clear directions about where they were in the surf when she dropped her ring…like straight from the stairs behind the hotel leading down onto the sand. So I set out my flags and began a tight grid search pattern while using my long handled scoop to drag behind me marking the area I had covered. It only took 15 minutes to get the exact signal I was looking for and since the ring was lost only 7 hours earlier I decided to carefully scrape the hard packed sand away and two inches down there was the beautiful lost diamond ring that I was looking for! When I texted Darryl the good news it only took a matter of minutes for him to come running down onto the moonlit beach to see first hand his wife’s diamond ring…something he was sure he would never see again!

So how can I help you find what you have lost? Call, text or leave me a message and let’s talk!

53 yr. old ring lost in a Brainerd Minnesota lake Recovered using a metal detector

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

This gracious gentleman spent the day tending to his lakeside shoreline, raking weeds and debris. Late that evening, he realized his 53-year-old wedding ring was missing.

He thought back over his day, and the only thing he could recall was removing a protective glove while standing in the water. He suspected the ring may have slipped off his finger at that moment.

He contacted me, and we agreed on a date to search the area. Using my Manticore metal detector, I thoroughly searched the shoreline and water.

Several items were recovered along the way, including a shotgun shell, two cans, a can top, and several soft-drink pull tabs. Once the area was cleaned up, the search continued.

Finally, the signal we were hoping for appeared—the wedding ring!

The ring was found in approximately three feet of water and about ten inches down in the sand.

What makes this recovery even more special is that this ring has been on his finger for 53 years! It is only removed twice a year when he takes it to the jeweler for polishing. After all those years, it certainly wasn’t ready to be lost!

I am so glad your ring was found and returned to you. Thank you for choosing me to be your ring finder. It was truly an honor to help bring such a meaningful piece of your history back home! 💍

Lost gold & diamond medallion, FOUND! North Cape May, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Bree. Bree explained that she had attended a wedding on the bay, here, in Lower Twp. While at the wedding, Bree had lost a very special medallion from her necklace. This particular piece was a gift upon her retirement from The United Stated Coast Guard. This was probably one of the oldest pieces I have recovered for someone as she explained that this piece dates back to the 1650’s! Bree believed that the medallion may have been pulled off by a child she was holding at some point during the ceremony. Bree and her family had returned several times with sand sifters, spending hours searching for the piece with no luck. Bree explained that she and her family had even considered purchasing their own detector but weren’t sure of the quality and pricing of what they found locally and how to properly use the device. After gathering some specifics, I proceeded down to Bay drive and began my search. Luckily Bree was able to provide some great photos of where the wedding had taken place on the beach that day. After about 10 minutes of searching, I managed to recover the medallion and circle clasp that attached it. When Bree arrived to meet me I told her that she didn’t need to get sandy as I already had her medallion recovered, much to her amazement and relief. Happy tears began flowing! Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

PLATINUM WEDDING RING LOST ON NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH FOUND IN SECONDS

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:


Tim told me he had spent a few hours at a North Topsail Beach access with his dog before packing up and heading home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized his wedding ring was missing. I offered to drive the 75 miles to meet him right away and help find it. When we met, Tim had a clear memory of where he’d set up on the beach and mentioned his dog had dug a spot in the sand there. We both figured the ring had to be nearby. I asked him to choose the spot he thought it might be, and he was only off by about a foot. Passing through the area, I got a strong 63 signal on my XP Deus II metal detector—right in the platinum range. I told him, “Your ring is right there,” marking the spot with my coil. My pinpointer quickly confirmed it, and I pulled Tim’s wedding band from its sandy hiding place.

This year’s charity is “Fishin’ for a Cure,” and 10% of Tim’s reward will be donated to support individuals battling breast cancer.

Lost heirloom silver/ruby ring, recovered, Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:


Ahmed called me while I was heading home from a long afternoon of detecting in Lake Michigan. He had just realized that his “silver ruby” ring went missing while at Cherry Beach.
It was getting dark, but offered the option of heading up in about an hour.
We met at the parking lot, geared up and hit the beach. He was not sure when, where or how it was lost. He stated he’d help “bury a friend” in a big hole near where their towels were and also threw handfuls of sand at other friends in a few different directions. So, it turned into a mystery type hunt, fairly large area, but not too bad.
I covered the dry sand first, covering about twenty steps in the directions he’d tossed sand. Nothing there, so I entered the water, made a few passes where he’d also thrown sand towards. After finding an old pull ring, I got a nice high silver sounding signal and scooped that big gypsy style ring. He said it was his late father’s ring, that was handed down for him to wear.

Lost your ring, jewelry, cell phone, keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Text or email ASAP 24/7 Mark at 434-987-0568.
Jasmine was doing some work in her backyard garden when she realized her 14 kt gold ring was missing. After searching and not being able to find it, she contacted me for help. I was able to get there the same day. She didn’t know when the ring came off, but was able to give me a great description of the areas she had been and helped narrow the search area. There were many signals, but after a few minutes I heard the signal I was listening for and found her ring. I am really grateful to be able to help Jasmine get her ring back.

Archery arrow recovered in Shenandoah, Virginia

 Lost your ring, jewelry, cell phone, keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Text or email ASAP 24/7 Mark at 434-987-0568.
While Li and his family were staying at a nice secluded vacation rental along the Shenandoah river, he was enjoying his archery hobby in the yard when he lost one of his arrows. Arrows that miss or deflect off the edge of a target can easily bury themselves below the surface of the lawn. Li did not want to take a chance of anyone getting hurt in the future, so he contacted me to see if I could help find it.  I was able to meet him the following morning. He showed me the search area and one of his other arrows so I could see what they look like and run my detector over it to identify the signal I would be listening for. After searching for a while, I found an arrow a couple of inches deep, but it was not one of his. It seems Li was not the first person shooting in this yard. A few minutes later I found his arrow also hiding a couple inches below the grass. I’m really glad I could help with this recovery and that this nice family could enjoy the rest of the trip without worrying.

Ring Lost Off Dock, Seaside Heights NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

NJ Ring Finder expert metal detector Call ring finderMetal detector rental

I received a message around lunchtime from Monica, wondering if I would be able to recover her ring from the bay.

Monica explained that she and her family had been crabbing when her ring slipped off her finger, bounced off the dock, and landed about a foot out from the dock, right where she had been sitting in a chair. She said the water was about five feet deep.

I told her that these types of recoveries can be very tricky. Fishing and crabbing areas are usually loaded with all kinds of junk—hooks, sinkers, cans, bottle caps, and plenty of other metal debris. Five feet of water is also getting close to the maximum depth I can comfortably search, but I agreed to take on the hunt.

I couldn’t make it out there until later, and Monica would already be gone, so I asked her to take some pictures showing the exact location where she had been sitting. That way, I could pinpoint the search area when I arrived.

Later that day, I suited up and carefully worked the area around the dock. The first good signal I came across sounded promising, but unfortunately, it wasn’t Monica’s ring. I kept working my way through the area, digging signal after signal after signal.

After about 35 minutes of searching, I got another signal that sounded especially sweet.

Sure enough, there it was—Monica’s beautiful ring!

This one took a lot of work to recover. Crabbing and fishing areas are notorious for being filled with metal junk, making it difficult to separate the good signals from everything else lying on the bottom.

But persistence pays off!

Another successful recovery by NJ Ring Finder. When a valuable ring goes into the water, calling a professional recovery expert can make all the difference.

Lost wedding ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Ring Finders Cape May

I received a call from Jimmy. Jimmy explained that he had just applied sunscreen and was shaking his hands off when his wedding band flung off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Jimmy and his family searched for several hours before and could not locate the ring. Shortly after calling, Ring Finders Cape May was on the beach with Jimmy. After a brief discussion about the possible location of the ring Dan began grid searching the beach. After a very brief search Jimmy’s ring emerged from the sand. Another successful recovery!

Jimmy Review:

“This man showed up, was beyond friendly, extremely helpful, and located my wedding band quickly! (which I was looking for, for about 3 hours!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
