Trinidad and Tobago
Lost a ring in Trinidad and Tobago?
Pigeon Point, Store Bay and the Nylon Pool on Tobago, and Las Cuevas, Blanchisseuse and Macqueripe on Trinidad.
The calm bays around Crown Point on Tobago and the energetic waves at Maracas and Blanchisseuse on Trinidad give a lost chain, ring or watch very different chances. Something dropped on the sand or while wading can still be within reach of a detectorist, and the more exactly you can show us the spot, the smaller the ground to cover.
Ring Seekers is a lost ring and jewelry recovery service that works with experienced local metal detectorists to search for a ring, wedding band, watch, keys or phone lost in Trinidad and Tobago.
Tell us what happened and where. We choose an experienced detectorist who knows the beach, brief them with your map and photos, and tell you honestly if the odds are poor.
From the Trinidad surf to the Tobago lagoons
On Trinidad, Maracas Bay on the north coast has energetic waves and Blanchisseuse draws surfers, though Las Cuevas, on the same coast, has gently lapping waves. Mayaro, on the south-east coast, has strong Atlantic undercurrents and high waves.
On Tobago, Store Bay and Buccoo Bay usually have calm water, Pigeon Point sits behind a reef, and the Nylon Pool is a shallow sandbank out at sea. Mount Irvine Bay is split by rocks, calm on one half and good for surfing on the other.
How a case runs with us
No handovers
Whoever answers your first WhatsApp message arranges the search and reports back to you.
The detectorist starts from your pin
Your map pin, pictures and account of the day go to the detectorist, so the search begins where you were.
Some losses are harder than others
A ring dropped on dry sand at Store Bay and a chain lost in the surf at Mayaro are not the same job, and we tell you plainly which kind yours is.
Four things to have ready
The beach, the item, roughly when it happened, and whether you were in the water or on the sand when you last had it.
Before you commit
We explain the costs before any search is booked.
Our Ring Finder Service Locations in Trinidad and Tobago
Tobago's bays and Trinidad's coast
Most of the cards below are Tobago bays, from Pigeon Point and Store Bay to the fishing villages. Trinidad's north coast, Chaguaramas and the long east coast beaches follow. Maracas Bay keeps a page of its own.
Beach by beach
Pigeon Point Heritage Park
At Crown Point, with white sand, very blue water and the thatch-roof jetty. The water is calm and sheltered by a reef, and people swim, snorkel, ride jet skis and kite surf here.
Store Bay
Also at Crown Point, a popular beach with calm water for swimming, jet skis and glass-bottom boat tours. The beach has a craft market and a food court, both useful landmarks.
Buccoo Bay, the Nylon Pool and No Man's Land
Buccoo Bay is a long beach at the fishing village of Buccoo, edged with mangroves, with calm, usually clear water for snorkeling. Reef tours and bonfires are held here, and horseback riding tours go through the water. The Nylon Pool is a sandbank off the west coast, a shallow pool of clear water in the open sea. No Man's Land, a white coral-sand spit in the Bon Accord Lagoon reached only by boat, is a stop for many tours.
Mount Irvine Bay and Grange Bay
A rocky outcrop splits Mount Irvine Bay in two. One half is kept by a hotel, with calm water for swimming and kayaking, while the Mount Irvine Beach Facility has waves for surfing. Grange Bay, near Mount Irvine on Shirvan Road, is a swimming and sunset beach locals call the wall.
Stonehaven Bay
Also known as Grafton Bay, at Black Rock. Almond trees shade soft, light brown sand, and the calmest swimming is on the right side of the beach.
Castara, Englishman's Bay and Parlatuvier
Castara Big Bay has emerald green water for swimming and snorkeling, and fishermen pull in their seine from the beach. At Englishman's Bay the rainforest grows almost to the water, which is calm and cool, with a lookout on the hill above. Small fishing boats anchor at Parlatuvier Bay, and people fish from the jetty.
Blanchisseuse Bay and L'Anse Martin
Surfers come to Blanchisseuse Bay for its energetic waves. The Marianne River enters the bay at its eastern end, with sand bars forming on both sides of the mouth, and people swim and wade where it flows in. L'Anse Martin, between Blanchisseuse and Las Cuevas, is a sheltered beach reached from a tucked-away strip off the North Coast Road.
Las Cuevas Bay and Tyrico Bay
Las Cuevas is named for the caves along its beach, with clear water and gently lapping waves. Tyrico Bay, just minutes from Maracas Bay, is less crowded than its neighbor and good for swimming and picnics.
Macqueripe, Manzanilla and Mayaro
Macqueripe Bay is a secluded, landscaped beach in Chaguaramas, good for a quick dip. On the rural east coast, Manzanilla is a long beachfront lined with coconut palms, with a boardwalk along part of it. Mayaro, on the south-east coast, is a beach for long walks and picnics, with strong Atlantic undercurrents and high waves.

From your message to the beach
Most of what a detectorist needs is already in the photos on your phone.
A WhatsApp note about what happened
Say which beach it was, what you were doing, and at what point you realized the item was gone.
The pin, the beach photo, the item
A pin on the map is the most useful thing you can send. Add any beach photo from that day, even one with people in it, and a picture of the piece itself.
A detectorist within reach, briefed
Getting to Tobago or to the north coast of Trinidad is part of the plan. We find a detectorist who can make that trip and pass on your pin, photos and notes.
What was covered, and what turned up
You are told when it will happen, and afterward which stretch was covered and whether anything turned up.
Questions about Trinidad and Tobago
Is one cave enough of a landmark at Las Cuevas? My gold chain went while I was swimming.
It helps a lot. Las Cuevas runs for two kilometers, so placing you on that stretch comes first, and the nearest cave plus a photo taken from where you sat do most of that. The waves there usually lap gently, so say how deep you were standing when the chain went.
Can the Nylon Pool be searched? That is where the wedding band slipped off.
The Nylon Pool is a sandbank with shallow, clear water, so it is not ruled out, but reaching it takes a boat, which makes it a different job from a beach. Tell us when you were there, whether you were standing or swimming, and where the boat was anchored.
Is the thatch-roof jetty at Pigeon Point a good marker for a lost anklet?
The jetty makes a good marker, so say how far along the beach from it you were and on which side. Tell us too whether you were on the sand or in the water, which is calm behind the reef but shared by swimmers, jet skis and kites.
Somewhere between the food court and the water at Store Bay, my phone disappeared.
Store Bay is a popular beach with calm water, a food court and a craft market. Tell us where you sat in relation to the food court, when you last used the phone, and whether you went in the sea or out on a boat after that.
Which side of Mount Irvine Bay matters if an Oura ring came off while surfing?
Yes. Rocks divide Mount Irvine Bay: the surf is at the Mount Irvine Beach Facility, while the hotel's half is calm. A ring lost paddling out through waves is a harder search than one lost wading on the calm side, so tell us which half you were on.
Is Grange Bay the same beach as Stonehaven Bay? I lost an earring at one of them.
They are two different beaches. Stonehaven Bay, also called Grafton Bay, is at Black Rock, with almond trees along the sand. Grange Bay is near Mount Irvine on Shirvan Road. A photo from the day will show which one you were on; send a picture of the other earring too.
My bracelet came off while I was snorkeling at Englishman's Bay.
The water there is calm and cool, and the rainforest grows almost to the water, so the trees behind you make a good marker. Tell us where along the beach you went in and send any photo taken from the water or the lookout on the hill.
Our ring was lost at the Marianne River mouth in Blanchisseuse. River or sea?
The Marianne River enters Blanchisseuse Bay at its eastern end, where people swim and wade, and surfers use the waves along the beach, so say which you were doing, since the river, the river mouth and the surf call for different searches. A map pin and a photo looking back toward the village help us place it.
