A Ring Lost, a Memory Found ❤️

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

While weeding the garden, a prized gold ring was accidentally lost somewhere in the garden, yard, or possibly inside the house. Despite searching, it was nowhere to be found. The thought of mowing the lawn was especially concerning, as there was a fear the ring could get caught in the mower blades and be destroyed.

But this was no ordinary ring. The story behind it made the loss even more heartbreaking.

The man’s mother had helped fund the purchase of the ring, but she was tragically killed by an inattentive driver in an accident that also injured others. Before her passing, the words “Till death do us part” had been inscribed inside the ring as a lasting token of love, appreciation, and remembrance.

After gathering all the information, he looked at me and said, “I pray you find this in twenty seconds.”

I grabbed my metal detector and pin

pointer, and the search was on!

Twenty seconds later… I found the ring!

The ring was recovered and returned to its grateful owner. Holding back tears of appreciation, he reminded me just how much this small piece of gold meant to him.

Some recoveries are about finding lost valuables. Others are about helping someone reconnect with a precious memory and a loved one they will never forget.

This was one of those recoveries.

It’s a moment I’ll always remember, and a powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest objects carry the greatest meaning. ❤️

Ring Recovery- San Luis Obispo Volleyball Courts

  • from Pismo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from Bryce, who was at the Meadow Park Volleyball courts. His wedding ring flew off on a crucial spike! Game stopped and everyone searched,  but had no luck.  I arrived and the game was put on hold. I detected the side Bryce was on.  No luck. I was feeling some pressure since everyone was watching. I slid under the net to started gridding the other side of the court, within a minute I got a great signal.  I knew it was his RING!.  It had gone flying!!! Sure enough his wedding band  was just a few inches under the sand.  The best part, was  all the players and spectators ‘cheers’ when I held up the ring.

I received a call from Oren who had lost a pendant in a college sand volleyball court. He was able to get me permission to come and metal detect the area, so I was on my way.

When I got there Oren showed me the court, and the area where he believed it came off. I gathered my equipment together, and began the search.I took about 4 passes in the grid before I got any signal, and low and behold, the one signal was Oren’s pendant. He told me that his mother had given it to him, and it was very sentimental, so I am glad I was able to help him that day.

Alex called and said that he had lost his platinum wedding ring earlier in the day playing volleyball at the beach. It was night now, but I wanted to assure him I would come out immediately and do a search.

I arrived, and we found each other. Alex then walked me over to the volleyball courts, and showed me where he believed the ring came off. I got ready, and then began my grid of the area. I made about 6 passes, and then heard a good signal through the head phones. I dug with my scoop, shook the sand out, and there was Alex’s ring. I gave it back to a very happy man.

Carli called for help in finding her lost Oura Ring. She had been at the beach the day before when it got lost. I left right away to meet her down there.

I found Carli when I arrived at the beach, and she walked me out to the area of the loss. The thing I did not know about Oura Rings is that they have a “Find Me”” service. So Carli broke out her phone, and began walking around trying to narrow down the spot where the ring was showing. Finally she stopped, and said, “It is somewhere around here.” I turned on my detector, swung once, and dug once. Carli had placed right on top of the ring, and just like that she had it back.

Gold wedding ring lost in yard debris, Found in Altamonte Springs Florida with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:




This lost ring recovery began when Alex called and explained how he lost his gold wedding ring while clearing some weeds and throwing the debris over a fence into a large pile of rocks and vines. Alex tried pulling some vines and moving some of the rocks but while doing so he thought that maybe he was causing his ring to drop deeper into a crevice thus making it more difficult to actually retrieve.

Later that evening a search for a metal detecting expert led him to one of my successful ring recoveries and Alex gave me a call. So I arrived the next day armed with my Deus 2 metal detector, a good pair of gloves, snake boots, a machete and a determination to do my very best to find Alex’s lost gold wedding ring. Alex had opened a small area where he said he actually saw his ring land and I began sweeping my coil along and above the rocks. Only a few iron signals grunted at me through my bone induction head phones so I set my detector aside and began clearing more vines, rocks and debris away. Again I scanned with my coil and nothing sounded off. I repeated this process until I had a fairly large area cleared and still no signal of a gold wedding ring! Next I began removing some of the larger rocks that allowed me to get closer and then I heard a faint repeatable signal and upon further probing with my trustee Garrett Pro Pin pointer…I spotted Alex’s lost gold Cartier wedding ring down in the rocks. The home owner saw me all excited like and came out and offered me a glass of ice, a cold a Coke and congratulations! What a thrill to be able to find a lost ring in such a difficult pile of rubble and I breathed a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for guiding me along and keeping me safe during the process.

What have you lost recently or maybe even years ago and need help trying to find? Call, text or leave me a message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Lost Wedding Band… Found at Elk Run Heights, Iowa

Contact:

I received a call from Tom about finding his lost wedding band. He was mowing his yard and had some low hanging branches on a tree in the back yard.

He tried to hold a limb up and mow under it with his riding mower when the limb pulled his wedding band off. Of course they searched for it and came up empty.

I went today and gridded the area under and near the tree and after an hour found the ring. Thanks for the call out and reward.

Double Ring Recovery in Surf City, LBI – NJ Ring Finder Saves Sentimental Family Heirlooms

James reached out to me asking if I was available to help search for two lost rings—both incredibly sentimental pieces that had belonged to his father. He’d been wearing them for years, so when they went missing, it was devastating.

James and his family were staying at their longtime summer rental in Surf City, Long Beach Island (LBI)—a house they’ve been visiting for over 20 years. That day, they walked down their private beach access and set up their chairs near the high tide line. At some point, James removed the rings and tucked them into the cupholder of his beach chair for safekeeping.

But when it was time to head back to the house, they packed up the chairs and gear—only realizing after the long walk back that the rings were still in the cupholder. He rushed back to the beach and scanned the area thoroughly but came up empty. That’s when he decided to call me.

I met James within 20 minutes. Using a few pictures he had taken earlier in the day, we were able to pinpoint exactly where they had been set up on the beach. I began my search in the area where the chairs had been, with no success. Then I expanded the search area, sweeping five paths wide on the route back toward the house—still nothing.

At this point, I was scratching my head. In my experience, rings stored in a cupholder usually fall out when the chair is folded up, and if not, it’s not far from that point where they slip out. But in this case, the rings had apparently stayed in the chair pocket all the way up the beach. I kept going, grid searching all the way up to the dunes.

Finally, after a couple more passes, I hit a solid signal. Sure enough—there were both rings!

James had started to look understandably worried, fearing the rings may have been lost forever—but he was in good hands with NJ Ring Finder Edward Trapper.

Double Ring Recovery at Manasquan Volleyball Tournament – Engagement Ring and Wedding Band Found by NJ Ring Finder Edward Trapper

I was finishing up a recovery on Long Beach Island (LBI) when I received a desperate call from Kasia. She and her husband, Joey, were in Manasquan for a volleyball tournament when a sudden storm rolled in, postponing the matches. Once the lightning cleared and play resumed, the rain continued as a slow drizzle—leaving everyone’s hands soaked.

After the last game ended, Joey noticed his wedding band was missing. As soon as he said that out loud, Kasia instinctively looked down and realized her beautiful engagement ring was gone too. Panic set in as the sun began to set.

Thankfully, she had my number handy and reached out right away, hoping I could come immediately. I told her I was finishing up a recovery but would head to Manasquan as soon as I was done. She assured me she’d send her number once she got back to the car—but when I finished up about 15 minutes later, I didn’t see any message. I called the number she had originally used, and the gentleman who answered promised to relay the message. Minutes later, Joey called me directly.

He explained the situation again, echoing what Kasia had told me. I let him know I could be there in about 30 minutes, and we agreed to meet outside a nearby pizza parlor. Joey knew exactly which volleyball court they had been playing on, and once I arrived, we walked straight there.

He pointed out the area where he believed his ring had come off, and I began my search on that side of the court. Surprisingly, I didn’t find the ring where we expected—but I did locate it on the opposite side. Joey was relieved, but also anxious to find Kasia’s engagement ring, which held deep sentimental value.

I finished scanning that half of the court, then moved to the other side. About halfway through, I got a sweet signal that had “ring” written all over it. Sure enough, as I sifted through the sand—there it was.

I turned around and showed the ring to Joey, who was completely shocked and beyond grateful.

Another great reminder: don’t wait when jewelry goes missing. The faster you act, the better the chances of a successful recovery. Kasia and Joey did the right thing by calling immediately—and it paid off!

Got a call from Kevin, he had lost his wedding ring in the sand at the beach, and was not able to find it. It was already dark, but I knew the search needed to be done as soon as possible, so I was on my way.

When I got there he and his wife Rosie were able to show me where he believed it came off. It wasn’t long before I had his ring in my scoop, and was able to hand it back to him. They then told me they were going to celebrate their first wedding anniversary in just a few weeks, so this was a very important recovery.
