A Lost Engagement Ring Found, San Carlos Park/Ft Myers, Florida 11.2.2016

 

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of getting a call from someone who has lost something truly precious, especially an engagement ring filled with memories and sentimental value. As a member of The Ring Finders, I grabbed my metal detector and headed out to search a backyard where the ring had gone missing in the grass. Knowing how much this ring meant to its owner, I carefully began working the area, slowly sweeping my detector back and forth, listening for that unmistakable signal that could lead to something special.

 

Then, suddenly, my detector gave off a strong, repeatable signal in the grass. I swung over the spot a few more times to pinpoint the target. There was no mistaking it now! I got down on my knees, carefully parted the grass, and began checking the soil. Within moments, a familiar sparkle caught my eye. There it was! The missing engagement ring, lying in the grass where it had gone unnoticed. I held it up, knowing that somewhere nearby was someone who was about to have a very special day. What had been a stressful and disappointing experience was suddenly turning into a moment of excitement and disbelief.

 

Being able to reunite someone with a lost engagement ring is one of the most rewarding parts of being a member of The Ring Finders. It’s about much more than metal detecting; it’s about bringing back memories, restoring smiles, and giving people a happy ending when they least expect it. Another lost ring found, another smile restored, and another reminder of why I love doing what I do!

Lost Gold & Diamonds Sentimental Bracelet at Ala Moana Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold & Diamonds Bracelet hunt began Friday afternoon as I was driving home from a Ko Olina hunt, when my phone rang.  Alvin from San Francisco, on his 1st Anniversary vacation said his lovely wife Agnes lost her bracelet the night before as they were walking along Ala Moana Beach after sunset.  My first thought was almost 24 hours have gone by and that beach has many detectorists and foot traffic.  The sand is also very packed and not very soft for the metal to penetrate.  Alvin thankfully was able to retrace their route from his phone.  We met a short time later and I followed Alvin along the path.  The beach was fairly sterile of targets so we got to the area they had stopped and I did a quick grid search in the soft sand there.  I did find a small pendant but no bracelet.  Since I traced my route by dragging my scoop in the sand I went back on the opposite side to expand the path.  We got to the grassy area and I suggested one more lap back on the other side to take care of any GPS position error.  About a third of the way I got a loud low tone and as I looked down I could see the shape of a bracelet just under the sand and gravel where the King Tide had washed ashore the previous night.  I pushed my scoop gently into the sand and Gold and Diamonds appeared in the sunlight.  I was as shocked as Alvin was.  I reached down and picked up the bracelet, wiped it off and handed it to Alvin.  We just witnessed a miracle and blessing.  Had there not been the King Tides the bracelet would have been exposed and easily seen.  Thank you Jesus!  Alvin and Agnes were able to celebrate their 1st Anniversary with the sentimental bracelet her mother had made for her, on her wrist.  Much Aloha to Agnes & Alvin!

Lost ring in The Lake Central Park New York City

  • from Mahwah (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Jeff+ mar at the lake

Probably one the most bizzare ring searches in my experience. Jeff and Mar were visiting from Lima, Peru. They were at the lake in Central Park having their pictures taken taken next the lake. Mar brushed her hair from her eyes and her new engagement ring fell into the lake!

I arranged to meet them and we went to the area of the lost ring. I entered the water to search for the ring. Over the next hour my search was interrupted at least 5 times by photographers taking pictures of couples in love. The last time I entered the water a 5 piece Mariachi band assembled 10 feet from me and proceeded to serenade a couple at very high volume.

amongst this distraction I was able to locate the lost ring. The couple were very grateful for my diligence on the recovery. A recovery to remember for sure!

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered in the Ocean – Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Late Saturday night, I had just walked in the door when my phone rang. It was Matt calling from Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ. He explained that earlier in the day, around high tide, he had been fishing when his wedding ring slipped off into the ocean.

He was catching fish and doing well, and after releasing one, he stepped into knee-deep water to rinse his hands off. That’s when the ring came off and disappeared beneath the waves. Despite hours of searching, he couldn’t find it. Someone nearby on the beach told him to call me ASAP — that I was the one who could help.

At first, Matt didn’t believe it was even possible to recover the ring from the ocean. But he called anyway. I told him with confidence that if he had a good idea of where it fell off, there was a solid chance I could get it back.

He was absolutely sure about the location and had even dug a hole to mark the exact spot — smart thinking, especially since it was already dark and easy to lose orientation on the beach. I told him to stay put and that I’d be there within 30 minutes.

When I arrived, Matt, the beach property owner, and his son were all out there with flashlights. Matt showed me the crater-like hole he had dug to mark the spot. He was determined to not let this location get lost in the dark — that ring meant the world to him.

After reviewing what kind of ring it was and what metals it was made of, I adjusted my detector’s frequency and walked about 10 feet into the surf. The tide was already coming back in, and the sand was starting to cover everything again.

Within minutes — and about 6 inches deep in the sand — I got a strong signal and pulled up Matt’s wedding ring. You should’ve seen his face — he was in absolute shock. His son was just as amazed. We walked up to the dune crossover where his two daughters were waiting, and their jaws dropped when they saw the ring back in his hand.

This was a perfect example of how a quick phone call with accurate details can lead to a successful recovery — even when a ring is lost in the ocean.

If you lost a ring on the beach or in the water on Long Beach Island, Lavallette, Seaside Park, or anywhere along the Jersey Shore — don’t wait! Call me right away. The sooner I get the details, the better chance we have of getting your ring back.

3 Lost White Gold Rings Found in Huntington Woods Michigan

No Tricks…..Just Treats….

Is what I said to Tom when he said his rings fell off setting up the yard today. He said what? I said the treats would be his rings being found. He laughed and said they have never fallen off before and wondered if this was another case of bad things come in 3’s. I told him I was up for some frightening fun and believe that there is power and unity in 3’s. Waving my magic wand in the form of an MXT metal detector over the areas he was working an eerie silence was in the headphones until I swept over an above ground planter box. It was the loudest BOO I ever heard. Probing my pin-pointer thru the dirt revealed the rings! Wickedly laughing he said what a ghoulishly delightful find, good things do come in 3’s!!! Placing them into his hand brought shivers down his spine that he was tempted to do the thriller dance.

Lost D. Yurman Anthracite Titanium Wedding Band at Four Seasons Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began yesterday, when I got the following text, “HI! My wife and I are on our honeymoon staying at the Four Seasons in Ko Olina, and I lost my wedding band today in the lagoon right outside the resort.  I only went about stomach-deep.  I already had a commitment, so I told Calvin and Savannah from Provo, Utah that I would return the next afternoon during the low tide.  When I arrived, Calvin & Savannah met me on the beach and showed me where they thought the ring should be.  I started a grid search and about 20 minutes in I got a great tone on the Manticore and after two scoops there was Calvin’s Wedding Band in the scoop.  I called him to meet me back at the Beach Rental stand and there was a sigh of relief when he saw his ring again on his finger.  Honeymoon saved!  Aloha to Calvin & Samantha!
