Rebecca found my number when she googled ,lost my ring on Paradise Beach. The ringfinders strikes again. She was pretty sure she had lost her rings playing volleyball at the sand courts. I was able to get out there within a few hours. I wish that all my searches were this easy. She was thrilled and so was I seeing that it felt like 100 degrees on the court.
So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.
So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.
We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!
I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”
I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS, BURY THE DRAMA!”
This ring find began yesterday when I got a call from Amy, who lives on Oahu. While enjoying the day at Ulua Lagoon, her husband Jan was playing with the kids and tossing them up and out into the water. One of the kids grabbed hold of Jan’s necklace, which had the ring on it and the necklace broke. The ring went flying but in what direction and how far? They were able to find the necklace but not the ring. Jan had assumed the ring would be in the waist to chest deep water he had been standing in. Knowing they were down in front of the umbrellas I told Amy I would hunt the next day. I started the hunt on the Southern umbrella and worked North. I concentrated on the waist to chest deep water. Then after about 30 minutes as I was heading shoreward in ankle deep water I got a nice screaming tone on the Manticore and after two scoops I was surprised to see Jan’s awesome ring in the scoop. I went back to my car and sent a pic to Amy as Jan was working in Waikiki. Her response was “Oh my!!! You found it!!!” I called and Amy said she would tell Jan and he could swing by my house which is 5 minutes from Waikiki, and pick up his ring after work. Jan was stoked to be going home with his ring! Aloha to Amy & Jan!

Hadyah had been gifted a gold bracelet from her boyfriend 2 years ago. After a day filled with fun with friends she noticed her bracelet was missing. After talking, we realized that the sand volleyball court was the best place to start. I chose to use the Minelab Manticore because of the small signal that the gold would give off. After starting I realized that EMI was going to be an issue. I finally settled in on using the 40KHZ setting to get it stabilize. This was a private court and had lots of signals of coins and bits and pieces of other jewelry. 75% of the way through the area I finally got a low and dirty signal but clear and consistent. It’s always an honor to recover such an irreplaceable item for someone.
Matthew and his wife were enjoying a warm weekend at the beach. Since his fingers sometimes swell, Matthew took off his wedding band and put it in a pouch. Later, after packing up, he realized the ring was missing. His wife posted a plea for help, and a few responses suggested Crystal Coast Ring Finders. The couple had an appointment that afternoon they couldn’t miss, so we agreed to meet the next day. Although pinpointing the exact spot on the beach was tricky, their great detective work brought me within 10 feet of where the ring was lost. Matthew was starting to doubt it could be found, but after a few false signals, I got a loud hit near the new marked spot. Up from the sand came Matthew’s wedding band, back in his hands where it belonged!

Tuesday, May 18 at approximately 11 AM I received a call from Niomi regarding a ring she had lost at a Little League game. She asked if I would be willing to search for it and I said, of course. I gathered my equipment and made my way towards their ballpark. On the way I called Niomi to get the story. She had placed three tings inher pocket and she remembered counting them as she put them in. Then later, she left the bleacher area to use the porta potty and had her phone in the same pocket. On the way across the back of the ballfield, she pulled her phone out. When I arrived on the field, the first thing we searched was the porta potty. I convinced Niomi to stand on the porta potty while her daughter and I tipped it in four different directions very slowly. She could see nothing there. She was really anxious to get a ring back. Next, we searched around the metal objects of the field with a small coil and found nothing there. Niomi and her husband had rented a metal detector and detected for several hours, digging many holes in the field and finding just the usual debris. I started making straight line searches across the field, covering about 4 feet at a time. On the second pass, Niomi mentioned that she wouldn’t have gone through that area because there were standing water there at the time of the game. I asked her which side of the water she passed on, but she could not remember. I told Niomi and her daughter to just wait there and I was going to make some expanding circle searches around this wet area. On the second circle I received the sound that I was looking for. I saw the ring, but I didn’t tell Niomi her daughter right off that it was there. I then told her I needed a few pictures for documentation and I took the first picture of her pondering. I asked her what she was thinking. She said I think we might not find it. I said yeah I know what you mean but we haYour ring is right here. She was overjoyed to say the least. Her ring is back where it belongs.
💍 Lost Engagement Ring Recovered from Car – South Jersey Vehicle Recovery
Brian reached out to me after his wife’s engagement ring accidentally popped off her finger and disappeared somewhere beside the seat inside their car. They weren’t sure if it had fallen on the driver’s side or passenger side, but despite thoroughly looking themselves, they couldn’t find it.
I suggested it would be best if they brought the vehicle to me, just in case we needed to remove a seat — I would have all my tools ready. We scheduled a time for the following day. Once they arrived, I began a visual inspection and searched around both seats but found nothing.
I then used my endoscope camera to check under the driver’s seat and, after about 15 minutes of careful searching, I spotted the ring lodged deep in a small crevice beneath the seat assembly. Unfortunately, it was completely unreachable.
We decided to remove the seat for better access. Once the seat was out, I used the endoscope to guide a grab tool down into the tight space and carefully latched onto the ring. Success — the engagement ring was recovered!
Brian and his wife were beyond grateful. They truly believed the ring was gone for good. A short time later, the seat was reinstalled, everything was back in place. Out of respect, their pics were not ised.
This past winter kept me busy.
I had just gotten home & put away all of my detecting equipment from an earlier request when I received a call from Moise. While shoveling, he lost his keys & fob. I told him I could be there in about 30 minutes.
When I got there, he showed me where he was shoveling. There were some pretty high piles of snow. He went back into the house.
I got started. Within 5 minutes, I got a good signal. Dug down about 15 inches, and there were his keys. I knocked on the door and showed him his fob. He was amazed at how quickly I found them. He had been looking for hours.
I love my hobby!!

Ken’s beautiful 14 karat yellow and white gold diamond wedding band safely recovered by metal detectorist Brian Rudolph in Mount Airy, Maryland.
A thrilled Ken proudly holds up his sentimental wedding ring moments after Brian Rudolph successfully recovered the lost band from the backyard.

Owner, METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC (Clarksburg, Maryland)
When Ken lost his stunning 14 karat yellow and white gold wedding band surrounded by diamonds, he feared the sentimental treasure was gone forever. After exhausting every possible option on his own, including using a metal detector and even hiring someone with a snake endoscope camera to search the drain pipes, hope was beginning to fade. That’s when Ken discovered THE RING FINDERS and connected with metal detectorist Brian Rudolph for help recovering the irreplaceable keepsake at his Mount Airy, Maryland home.
Ken explained that he had been cleaning debris around his basement stairwell and tossing the material up and over the railing toward the backyard when he thought he felt the ring fly off his finger. Despite searching extensively, the valuable wedding band could not be found anywhere.
By the time Ken contacted Brian Rudolph, he had already tried nearly everything imaginable. He had searched the yard repeatedly, used a metal detector himself, and even hired a specialist to inspect the home’s drainage system. Nothing turned up. Brian was truly Ken’s last hope before giving up on ever seeing the ring again.
Once Brian arrived at the Mount Airy, Maryland property, Ken carefully demonstrated exactly where he had been standing and reenacted the motions he was making when he believed the ring came off. After analyzing the possible trajectories and search zones, Brian returned to his vehicle and retrieved thousands of dollars worth of professional metal detecting equipment designed specifically for difficult recoveries like this one.
To ensure that no area would be overlooked, Brian established a detailed grid pattern across the backyard. Methodically scanning lane after lane with his detector, he slowly eliminated sections of the property where the ring was not located. For quite some time, there were no promising signals. Then finally, approximately 35 feet from the house, Brian’s detector emitted a strong target response.
Using his handheld pinpointer to isolate the exact location beneath the grass, Brian carefully investigated the signal. There it was — Ken’s handsome and heavy gold and diamond wedding band resting safely beneath the surface! Mission accomplished!
Ken was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. He truly believed he would never see the sentimental ring again. The recovery meant far more than simply replacing an expensive piece of jewelry. The wedding band represented the special moment when Ken’s wife Stephanie placed the ring on his finger during their wedding ceremony — a memory that could never be duplicated or replaced.
For Brian Rudolph, moments like this are exactly why he loves helping people through metal detecting recoveries. Seeing the joy, appreciation, and emotional relief on clients’ faces after recovering something so deeply personal makes every search worthwhile.
