Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found in Sorrento, Louisiana — A Family Heirloom Returned

  • from New Orleans (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

On Sunday evening, I received a message from Jason in Sorrento, Louisiana. He had lost his 14-karat gold wedding band while working on his boat earlier that day, and he had spent most of the day trying to find it.

This ring carried much more than monetary value. It had belonged to his great-uncle, a Marine who served in World War II and the Korean War. Jason wore it as his wedding ring, making it both a symbol of his marriage and a treasured connection to his family.

During the boat maintenance, a grease gun had malfunctioned. Jason suspected the missing ring was covered in grease, making it even harder to spot in the grass. He searched for hours, bought a metal detector, and even waited until dark to try looking with a bright light. Nothing had worked.

Unsure what else to do, he turned to ChatGPT and asked whether anyone helped people find lost rings. That search led him to me through The Ring Finders.

After confirming the ring had been lost on land, I arranged to come to Sorrento the following morning. On Monday, I made the trip out and searched the area. I was able to locate the missing gold band and return it to the family within about 20 minutes

Recoveries like this are why I enjoy doing this work. A ring can hold generations of memories, and helping return that connection to someone is incredibly rewarding. I’m glad Jason reached out and that his great-uncle’s ring is back where it belongs.

Lost a ring in Sorrento, Gonzales, Ascension Parish, or elsewhere in Southeast Louisiana?

Metal Detecting Service finds lost gold ring in grass, Umatilla Florida.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Contact me for all your metal detecting and recovery needs. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029. On land, in the water, the grass, sand, in cars and houses…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers and more!



This search began when Kimberly texted me about a lost gold ring in her front yard. She was planting flowers and setting up a new birdbath/water fountain and was working with a pile of decorative rocks. Later when she went to shower she realized her gold diamond ring was not on her finger. She thought her ring could have come off while she had her hands in the dirt while planting her flowers or maybe when she was washing her hands off with the hose over the grass. She spent an hour or so looking but soon realized she needed a metal detector and while searching the internet she came across theringfinder.com website and one of my stories and decided to give me a call.

When I arrived and looked the situation over there were a number of places where her ring could be hiding so I decided to detect the simplest place first…where she washed the dirt off of her hands. The grass was very thick but a good metal detector could easily punch down through the grass and detect a gold ring…but it was not there! I then detected the 20 small plants that Kimberly had planted thinking her gold ring could have easily slipped off while doing that action…and again no ring! Next were the decorative stones and no ring there either! Kimberly suggested pulling up the plants to make detecting easier and allowing the machine to detect deeper as well so I said ok and in the meantime I decided to cover the small grassy areas on both sides of the sort sidewalk leading from the driveway to the circular fountain and BINGO…right at the corner of the sidewalk and driveway my Deus 2 gave a sharp clear signal of #56 and as I parted the grass I could see Kimberly’s lost gold ring! Kimberly was overjoyed and so relieved and her picture gives a little glimpse of how she felt.

So how can I help you find what you have lost? Don’t wait…call, text or leave me message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Wellfleet Bay Wildlife, Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned By Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

October 1, 2026

The last day of September was a beautiful day for a trek thru Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, something Emma and her family had done quite often. This was to be a special walk with her husband of only four and a half months. One of the first things the couple spotted was the big birds, wild turkeys, something not seen in Dijon, France where the happily married couple now reside. The sun was rising and so went the temperature. There was no need for the sweater Emma was wearing, so it was removed and draped across her arm.

Another 100 or so yards up the path and with a great view of Cape Cod Bay what could be wrong? Not only wrong, but devastating, a missing wedding band. It must have been lost in the last 100 yards, so many on the walking tour went looking all along the sandy path. As usual when a ring, bracelet, keys, or the like go missing; it must be right here, but can not be found by visual searching.

As this loss needed the recommended metal detector and someone to use it, Luke was called. Luke was working and had another afternoon engagement so he refered the request to me. I answered the call for help and with the permission from the Audubon attendants, set up a 10am search. I did not realize but a group of 6 or so family members would also be there to help visually look for the ring. Several times a ring would be dropped along the path and could always be seen with the naked eyes. I would occasionally toss a nickle into the over brush just to verify that my detector was working. It also never failed to ID the target, but no ring was found. After some 3 hours the family group had to depart, but I would stay to make the trek in the reverse direction.

The ring had to be somewhere along the path. This was verified by at least three people that Emma had the ring on her finger at the start of the trek. The path was less than three feet wide and narrower in some areas. Reasoning what might have happened, I would make my last detecting the left side of the trail as the wedding band was on the hand closest to that side. At the point were the ring was noticed being lost, I did a 180 and started back to the parking lot. This time walking in the center of the path and swinging wide to each side. Aha, a solid signal, but it was too high of a reading on my detector to be a gold ring, but I dug it anyway…it was a 1988 quarter. It was only the 3rd target I dug and the other two were just out of a need for a break from detecting. I stood up, swung the coil again and another solid signal right in the middle of the sandy path. I flicked my finger at the sand and there was the ring so many people had walked over looking for.

Mark was out doing yard work at his mother’s house, specifically cleaning out the growth in a chain link fence line. He got in his car to leave and you guessed it his wedding ring was not on his finger.  He spent hours looking along with some help but nothing.  His friend said a metal detector could locate it. True, it will also locate everything you aren’t looking for either. He decided the best use of his time and money was to ask someone from the Ring Finders.com for help. He found their site on Reddit.  Within an hour we met and the search being.  While he was picking up his daughter from school I got the sweet signal. Not in the area he suspected it would be found but none the less still in an area he was working in. Always my honor to put a smile back on a face. Thanks Mark for entrusting the recovery of such a precious irreplaceable to me.

Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On Thursday, October 1, 2026, just before 8 p.m., I received the following text, “Hey Jim, This is Skyler. My Family and I are vacationing at Ocean Isle beach (from Ashville) and I lost my gold wedding band around 4pm today while playing in the water with my daughter (between knee and waist depth) near the condo that we are staying in. I found you online and am wondering if you can assist? Please let me know. Thank you.” I took a quick look at the tide table and saw that he lost it about 2 hours before low tide and it was now 2 plus hours after low tide. The next low tides were Friday at 6 am or 7 pm. I called Skylar and got some additional details including the address of the condo and we decided that I’d be there before the 7 pm low tide the next evening and hung up.

As I’m sitting watching TV and thinking about this ring search, I looked at the tide tables again. I was thinking it’d be dark at 6 am but probably a calmer ocean that early in the morning. Plus no heat, no crowds and hopefully before anybody swinging a metal detector would be searching the beach. I text Skyler back and asked if they had taken any pictures of where they were sitting showing the condo in the background. He responded that they had not, but he could take pictures in the morning and send them to me. Within a minute or so, he text me a picture his wife, Taylor had taken that couldn’t have been any better. It clearly showed me exactly where they had been sitting in relationship to the right corner of the condo. He also said he was to the left of where they were sitting when he lost his ring while facing the condo. I made the decision then to be out there about 5:15 a.m. I sent him a text letting him know the change of plans.

When I got there I made my way out to the beach and although it was pitch dark, I was able to line up with the corner of the condo as shown in the photo.  I turned on my Equinox 800 and started a north/south grid line. Knowing I was looking for a yellow gold wedding band, I was expecting a VDI (visual display indicator) number in the high teens. On my third grid line, ankle deep in the ocean and my first target, I got a very solid and clear 20 on the VDI. I dug the target out of the wet sand. I turned on my headlamp but couldn’t see anything through the shells in the scoop. I reached into the scoop with my hand and put my index finger right through the ring. Bingo! I made my way back up to the condo and saw somebody standing by the pool watching me. He said “Jim?” I replied “Skyler?” and we shook hands. I asked him what his ring looked like as I pulled his ring out of my pocket and held it up for him to see. Needless to say, he was stunned when he saw it and replied, “That’s it!” We walked back up to his unit so I could get pictures. While we were talking, he told me that after he lost it, his 4 year old daughter told him something like, “Daddy, if I had superpowers I’d find your ring.” How sweet is that!! What a way to start the day, for both of us!!

Taylor – you saved the day with the picture you took. It was absolutely perfect. Thank You!

Skyler – Thank you for contacting and trusting me to help find your lost Treasure. I wish you and your family all the best, enjoy your vacation.

Jim

Lost Ring Found in Water, Not On Volleyball Court By Ring Finder Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

September 20, 2026

Christopher lost his wedding band while playing volleyball on a sandy beach. All of his friends helped in searching for the ring with no luck. They even obtained a detector and a rake to aid in their hours of effort. It was time for some experienced help. First by Leah, Christoper’s wife. She searched the web for help and found TheRingFinders.com, the Cape Cod location and my name and number. She called and I was on my way.

As I approached the beach I could see all the signs of previous search efforts. There were the rake marks, the footprints of a search pattern, holes, and piles of sand and lastly I saw a detector laying off to the side. I was shown the area the loss most likely occurred at and all the other areas that it might have been lost. I started to search at the most likely area and moved on from there. In some 2 hours I had searched over the entire area without finding the missing ring. Back at the most likely area I started to cross the area with a diagonal pattern in relationship to the square one I had already done. Still no ring and now the sun was setting. Now the question, the same as before, “Where is the ring.”

The next search would be in the morning at low tide. Even thou Christopher said he did not go to the water, that was the only area I had a thought that while setting the volley ball up for a teammate that the ring may have been launched into the surf.

Two hours before low tide I arrived only to see an empty parking lot. The entire MIT group had left and only the owner was at the Air BnB. I got right to the water’s edge and started a search parallel to the beach and working into deeper water. After another hour of searching and two feet from the low water line I finally heard a signal that sounded like it should be the wayward ring, and it was.

The search was over that is until the package containing the ring went into the out-to-be delivered USPS system. Both Christopher and I agreed that it was the results of the four days of the Nor-Easter storm and that the package must be picked up at the Post Office. That happened on October 1st. Add a smiling photo and finishing touched to the story and I was on my way to find another wedding band not on the beach but somewhere in an Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary.

Engagement And Wedding Rings Lost In The Ogunquit Beach Surf, Found In Footbridge Beach, With A Metal Detector

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

𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚: 𝐀 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 🌊💍

Imagine watching a video of your family playing in the ocean, only to realize you captured the exact millisecond a family heirloom vanished into the sea…

It was a picture-perfect, hot Maine summer day at Footbridge Beach in Ogunquit, Maine: Beautiful Place by the Sea . Brett, his wife Kaitee, and their two young children were playing in the ocean, laughing, and enjoying some quality family time together.

Kaitee and her oldest daughter were out in the water, splashing around and jumping over some decent-sized waves while Brett and Kai were near the shore, filming the happy memory.

But in a split second, the ocean changed everything. 🌊As a big wave rolled in, Kaitee lifted her daughter up high to clear the crest. The moment she put her daughter back down, she felt that sickening emptiness on her finger. She immediately pointed to her hand, looked toward Brett on the shore, and mouthed the words every married couple dreads hearing:

“𝙈𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜.” 💔

Her beautiful wedding and engagement rings, which were soldered together into one precious piece, had vanished into the surf. In the video, you can see Kaitee immediately looking down into the water, frantically trying to search through the waves. But as anyone who has been to the beach knows, it is virtually impossible to find anything in churning sand and crashing waves. 🌪️🏖️

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐎𝐧 🔍

Devastated, they knew they needed help. While the video didn’t show any landmarks or depth to prove exactly how far from the shore they were, it did provide one crucial piece of evidence: 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐩.

With that exact time locked in, we could calculate the exact state of the tide. Armed with that vital piece of data, Brett jumped on the phone.

At around 𝟏:𝟑𝟎 𝐏𝐌 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟒𝐭𝐡, my phone rang. 📞

As I listened to Brett’s story, I quickly checked the tide charts. My heart sank a bit when I saw that high tide wasn’t until 3:47 PM. Because the tide had already been coming in when Kaitee lost the rings an hour and a half earlier, the water in that area was already way over my head. Searching right then was physically impossible.

I gave Brett the honest reality of the situation: our absolute best bet was to wait for the morning low tide. I told him I could be on the beach by 𝟕:𝟎𝟎 𝐀𝐌 to follow the receding water out.

But I also had a major concern. Because Kaitee was already deep out in the water when the rings slipped off, and with the rough ocean waves pounding the shore, I wasn’t sure if the morning tide would recede far enough for me to safely reach the spot.

Still, we had no choice but to try. We agreed on the plan: meet at 𝟕:𝟎𝟎 𝐀𝐌, chase the tide out, and hunt as much beach real estate as humanly possible. 🤝

To make sure we didn’t waste a single second of precious low-tide time, I pulled up a satellite map. I marked up an aerial view of Footbridge Beach and sent it over to Brett. He looked it over and confirmed the exact grid section we needed to target. Now, we had a localized game plan. All we could do was wait for morning. 🗺️

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐞 ⏳

The next morning, Gary Hill and I arrived early at 𝟔:𝟒𝟎 𝐀𝐌

. Knowing we had a massive area of beach real estate to cover, we wanted to get a serious jumpstart before the tide fully bottomed out. Brett was scheduled to meet up with us around 𝟕:𝟑𝟎 𝐀𝐌, but there was no time to waste. It was time to get going!

Gary and I decided to divide and conquer to max out our chances. Using the beach access path way up on the shore as our central halfway point, we split the area in two.

Gary took the north side, executing a tight grid search 100 feet to the north of the path, parallel with the water. I took the south side, mirroring his 100-foot grid search to the south of the path.

Our strategy was simple: start closer to the shore on the wet sand and tightly follow the tide as it receded, fully prepared to grid right into the surf if the conditions stayed safe. With our detectors fired up and our scoops ready, we began swinging. 🔍

The beach itself was very clean of targets. We dug a coin here and an aluminum pull tab there, but as our first hour on the sand came to a close, the rings remained elusive.

Around 7:30 AM, Brett arrived on scene. We paused to bring him up to speed on our progress. Looking out at our patterns, he confirmed we were spot on for the location. Our 100-foot grid lines to the north and south had the primary target area completely covered.

With the plan validated, Gary and I fired our machines back up and returned to the grid. Brett stayed close by, visually scanning the shifting sand along the moving tide line.

A few hours later, we finally approached dead low tide. The window of opportunity was shrinking, and despite our best efforts, the rings had still not been recovered.

Desperate to reach the deeper drop zone, I stepped directly into the churning ocean surf. Unfortunately, the sea wasn’t making it easy. The rough, pounding waves made it incredibly dangerous to push too far out. 🌊💥

With Brett looking on anxiously from the shore, Gary and I pushed as hard as we safely could, but the water simply wouldn’t let us get past knee-deep. Realizing we were out of beach real estate and at the mercy of the conditions, we had no choice but to call the search.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 💔

Brett was deeply disappointed, and honestly, so were we. Gary and I carry this kind of disappointment hard. When something precious is lost to the endless moving energy of the ocean, there are simply no guarantees. We give every single hunt everything we have, but sometimes, heartbreak is the outcome—temporarily anyways.

I broke down the reality of the situation for Brett before we left. I let him know that Gary and I would absolutely come back to search again, but we were fighting the upcoming tide cycles. Over the next few days, both the high and low tides were going to be higher up towards the shore. We simply wouldn’t be able to get out as far as Kaitee had been standing.

Our next real window would be a week or so later when the negative tides arrived. Those ultra-low tides would expose much more of the beach and give us the access we needed. 📉

Brett was very dejected, but I gave him my word that we weren’t giving up. I promised him we would be back, and reassured him that heavy rings generally don’t move very far on the ocean floor unless a major storm hits the coast and makes the surf much rougher than it already was. I reminded him that we have successfully made recoveries many, many days after a ring went missing.

I promised Brett I would contact him directly before we headed out for our next attempt. The three of us walked off the beach together—down, but definitely not out. 🧗‍♂️

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐝𝐞 📉📱

True to my word, a week later, the tide charts lined up perfectly. I fired off a text message to Brett:

“𝑯𝒊 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕, 𝑮𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆, 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕 5:00𝒂𝒎. 𝑰𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒆, 𝒂𝒕 -0.9. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒖𝒔 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒇𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕. 𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒂 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒖𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅.”

Brett fired right back with a text that read, “𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉!!” 🙏

Gary and I arrived in Ogunquit pre-dawn the next morning and immediately got down to business. It had been 𝟖 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬

since our first attempt, and 𝟗 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 since Kaitee’s rings had vanished into the sea.

The 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 -𝟎.𝟗 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐞 opened up an incredible amount of the ocean floor. It was finally time to put the coils to the sand! 🪙🤠

We tightly followed the receding waterline, sweeping carefully. For the first stretch, it was just the usual beach trash and a few more scattered coins. But we kept our focus.

After about 50 minutes of searching, my detector let out a very low, solid tone. I didn’t hesitate. I scooped up a heavy load of wet sand and threw it up onto the beach to sift through it. 🛡

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐄?! 🤯🚨

I stared down at it. I could instantly see the diamonds flashing—it was the wedding and engagement rings, beautifully soldered together, exactly as Brett had described.

𝐖𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐄’𝐒 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒! 🥳🎉

Ring hunting AFTER nine days in the relentless Atlantic Ocean, and there it was. Gary and I immediately traded high-fives and burst into those huge, stress-releasing laughs that only happen when a high-stakes hunt finally pays off.

Instead of a standard text message, I decided to show him. I pulled out my phone and recorded a video. I started by showing him the vast expanse of beach we had been gridding, and then I slowly panned the camera down to the rings, still resting perfectly in the wet sand. 🎬

𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕?”  I said into the camera. “𝑾𝒆 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕. 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔, 𝒎𝒂𝒏. 𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒂𝒚. 𝑨𝒍𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍.”

I hit send. Because it wasn’t even 6:00 AM yet, I knew it might take some time for him to wake up and see it. But we didn’t sit around waiting. With a rare negative low tide like this, you just never know what else might be hidden in the sand, so Gary and I kept right on metal detecting to make the most of the morning.

𝐀𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 ✨🥂

Sure enough, about an hour later, my phone lit up. ⚡️

Brett and Kaitee were both on the line, and they were completely in shock to wake up to the unbelievable news. They were over-the-moon happy and bursting with excitement, thanking Gary and me from the very bottom of their hearts. 🥺❤️

Then, Kaitee dropped one more mind-blowing piece of information on me. She realized that the exact day we found her rings happened to be the 𝟏𝟔𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞! Talk about a true anniversary miracle!

Standing out there on the beach, Gary and I were just beaming. Hearing the pure joy and relief in their voices is exactly why we do this. Bringing that kind of closure to people is simply the best feeling in the world.

Because Brett and Kaitee live three states away in Connecticut, they had already headed back home from vacation. But as luck would have it, Kaitee’s friend and co-worker, Erica, was currently vacationing just down the coast in York Beach, Maine!

We quickly coordinated a plan, and Erica and her family drove up to my house in Saco, Maine  to pick up the precious rings. When they arrived, we all talked about just how completely improbable this whole story really was.

After Erica left to safely escort the rings back to Connecticut, I received a wonderful message from her: 💬

“𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝑫𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒔! 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒏’𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 & 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔! 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒋𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔!  😂

I couldn’t help but smile and replied:

“𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔! 😀 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 ❤️🙏”

A few days later, I received a beautiful family photo from Kaitee with her rings finally right back where they belong, resting safely on her finger. 📸

Gary and I truly have the best job in the world, and we love every single second of it.

During an outing with her child, they were enjoying some time playing in the corn when, unfortunately, her ring slipped off her finger. After a frantic search with no luck, she reached out to me for help.

Within two hours, we were on site searching, and it wasn’t long before the ring was recovered and rightfully returned to its owner! 💍

Her loving, gracious smile said it all. She was incredibly appreciative—and understandably thrilled—to have her ring recovered and safely back where it belonged: on her finger! ❤️

How to find a lost ring in a garden in Vancouver..

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your ring/cell phone/keys don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service Chris – 778-838-3463.

I received a text message asking if I was available to search for a Lost Ring that came off a young man’s finger when he was throwing a leaf off of his balcony. He told me he saw the ring go straight up in the air and come down. He believed it may have gone into his neighbours yard after not finding it in his garden. When I arrived and checked out the location, it would very easily have made it over the fence into the garden/shrubs and bushes on the other side.

That’s where I began my search on my hands and knees, crawling through the bushes trees, within five minutes buried in between some roots and covered by a leaf… There was a beautiful white gold ring! This search did not take too long, but could’ve easily been lost there for a very, very long time. Todd had already searched there the day before but didn’t have any luck. It will be interesting to see what my next search will be, usually when I find them so quickly my next one will be very very difficult lol.

I absolutely love my job!!

A Priceless Diamond RIng Recovered in Joliet, IL!

  • from Lockport (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

Blake reached out to me after his wife lost her sterling silver diamond engagement ring in their Joliet backyard. The ring held special meaning because the diamond had belonged to her mother, who had passed away.

Blake had already searched the lawn carefully with a rake and even tried using a small metal detector. During his search, he managed to find her wedding ring, which had been lost at the same time, but the engagement ring was still MIA.

The next day, I headed to Joliet to help with the search. A steady rain was falling, so the weather wasn’t ideal for metal detecting, but I knew how much finding this ring would mean to Blake and his wife.

When I arrived, Blake showed me the area where his wife believed she had lost it, and I immediately began a grid search.

Right away, I started getting some promising signals. In the first 10 minutes, I uncovered, in order, a dime, a penny, another penny, a small unidentified circular object—and then a 1976 Kennedy half dollar! Not a bad start for my first few minutes detecting the yard.

After taking a moment to admire the Kennedy half dollar, I went right back to my grid search. Less than a minute later, another signal stopped me in my tracks. The numbers and the tones emanating from my detector were right where I would expect a silver item to register. Could this finally be the ring?

I unholstered my pinpointer and narrowed the target down to a tiny spot between the blades of grass. By now, the steady rain had turned the ground into mud. I carefully worked my fingers into the soil, knowing there was something just beneath the surface but still unable to see what it was.

Then, about an inch down, I caught a glimpse of something curved.

I carefully cleared away a little more mud, and the unmistakable circular shape of a ring began to appear. I reached down, pulled it from the ground, and wiped away the mud.

There it was—the missing engagement ring, with that precious diamond still sitting securely in its sterling silver setting.

A big smile came across my face. It had taken less than 15 minutes to recover this priceless family treasure. Seeing the happiness and surprise on Blake’s face when I showed him the ring told me my work was done here.

Another lost ring back where it belongs!
