Silver ring lost on sand volleyball court, Orlando, Florida…found with a metal detector!

If you lost something important to you…like a ring or keys or cell phone on land or in the water or even in your car…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about my recovery service and am available day or night! Call or text me ASAP!

Everett was playing volleyball with some friends at their private community facility and as he went to hit the ball he felt his heavy silver ring slip off of his finger! Unfortunately no one saw exactly where it landed as it happened so fast. Everett was sure it landed fairly close to where he was standing so they tried running their hands through the sand and after an hour or so they gave up. Everett thought that maybe there was some kind of service that could help in a situation like this so he looked up “Metal detecting person near me” and that search led him to theringfinders.com website.

It was getting on towards evening so I told Everett I could come right away and after a 40 minute drive I met Everett and he showed me the area. I began my search on the same side of the court where Everett was standing and after clearing all the coins and pull tabs I crossed over to the opposite side of the court and as I was finishing gridding that side off I got a strong signal reading in the 90’s on my Deus 2 metal detector. Everett’s lost ring was just under the surface and I found it surprising just how far a heavy ring can travel with only the flip of the wrist! Everett was so thankful to have his special ring back and was all smiles as he posed for some last minute pictures.

Have you lost something as well and need special help? Call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

IPhone Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

IPhone Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

Shortly before 3 p.m. on Apr 4th, I received a call from Magen asking if I could find an IPhone on the beach. I responded I could and got additional details. I told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes, she agreed, and I was on my way.

Magen had given me the code for the parking garage, so I had a place to park when I got there. I met Magen by the hotel pool, and we walked to the beach. On the way, Magen told me her 11-year-old daughter had been making sandcastles and had laid her phone on the sand. At some point they realized the phone had disappeared.  Magen knew the area where it was lost. She said they had actually drugged their feet through the area trying to find the phone. I started the search a little south and after a few lines, Magen moved me a little further north. I hadn’t gotten a description of the phone, figuring it was probably the only phone that’d be out there. At some point and unknowingly, my phone fell off my hip. As I’m searching, a young man came up behind me and asked if I was looking for a phone. I said I was, and he handed me a phone he just found. Well, not paying a lot of attention to the phone, I asked Magen If it was her daughter’s phone. When she said “no”, I realized I was holding my own phone. To say I was totally embarrassed is an understatement!!! After a couple more grid lines, I hit her daughter’s phone buried under a few inches of sand. A dance competition weekend saved.

Magen – Thanks for allowing me to help find your daughter’s IPhone. Hope you all have a great weekend and her team does great.

Lost – Men’s Gold/Platinum Heirloom Ring – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Here I was before dawn, on the edge of the ocean looking for a ring that I was not called to find.  On the drive over, I prayed that I could locate the ring.  I had seen it listed on Tuesday evening, but I had to be out of town on Wednesday.  I contacted Allison the previous evening and she said that her husband could call me at 7:30 am.  While I was waiting for the call, I scoured the dead low-tide sand with my trusty Minelab Manticore with the led light on.

When Cody called, he said they were there on Monday and set up between the stairs and ADA walk-down ramp.  They went into the water but not very deep and only went about 50 feet North.  I told him that I was confident that if it was there, I would find it.

I covered all the water areas first because the tide was coming in fast.  I proceeded up the beach and into the area where they had been sitting on the beach.  Nothing but a few coins and some trash.

By this time, it was almost 9 am and I was detecting the area between the stairs for the 3rd time.  As I looked under the stairs, I sensed that I should go to the other side.  An immediate and solid hit!  It was the ring, where it should not have been but was.

All rings have a story and this one was no different; passed down from Allison’s late father!  Later that day I had the privilege to give the ring to Cody!  God is good-he had guided me when I needed him most.

A Love Ring’s Journey: A Beach Recovery Story

The waves lapped gently at the Ocean City shoreline as Ken made his way to the water’s edge. It was supposed to be a perfect weekend getaway with his girlfriend, soaking up the New Jersey sun and salt air. But sometimes life has other plans.

Ken had just wanted to rinse the stubborn beach sand from his hands. A simple task — until he felt that heart-stopping moment when his Cartier LOVE ring, usually snug on his finger, wasn’t there anymore. The panic set in immediately.

The couple spent frantic minutes sifting through the sand, their romantic afternoon turning into an increasingly desperate search. The ring could have been anywhere: in the soft sand where they’d been sitting, or worse, pulled away by the ocean’s persistent tide.

That’s when they remembered hearing about Ring Finders South Jersey, finding lost rings in Ocean City, New Jersey. One phone call later, help was on the way.

Within fifteen minutes, their metal-detecting expert arrived, ready to tackle the search. The first sweep of the ocean proved fruitless, but experience had taught him not to give up so easily. Moving back to where the couple had been lounging earlier, it took just a few passes with the detector. The gleaming Cartier ring appeared in the scoop, safe and sound.

What could have been a weekend remembered for loss became a story of relief and gratitude. The couple’s smiles said it all: sometimes the best moments are not the ones we plan. The ones where things work out just when we need them to.

Diamond Engagement Ring Found after Nine Years in Sofa .. Westminister, CA.

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

Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you find your lost ring or other precious metal jewelry.. Call or text as soon as possible 24/7 … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”


*** Fran called me asking how my metal detecting service works. I gave her the basic explanation. I did need to know details of her loss before I could commit  to a search.  “She never told me that the loss happened 9 years ago, until after I found the ring.”

She told me that she had been doing her nails while sitting on a sofa. She put three rings on the arm rest of the sofa. Later she could only find two of the three rings. She and her husband searched and couldn’t find the diamond engagement ring. I told her that the large detectors will not work inside a home, but I have a endoscope camera and a few other tools for search indoors and cars.

This sounded easy because I figured it was in the sofa or got kicked off under another piece of furniture.

When I met her at the address she gave me, she told me the sofa was now at her father’s home.  That only leaves the sofa to search.  All the time she never mentioned the loss occurred in 2014, nine years ago.

The gaps on the bottom side of the cushion didn’t allow fingers to reach to the bottom of the lining. I pushed the endoscope into the narrow space and  “Boom” .. a peanut, a dime and a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Fran came in from the other room and was so surprised. that was when she told me how long it had been missing. She told me she had given up years ago and her friend told her about my service, asking her to try me.

I love these miracle recoveries. I’m also pretty sure I would have not been so willing to try if she told me the loss happened so many years ago and the sofa was not in the same house where the ring was lost. I guess things happen the way they are supposed to happen.

If you need information or help to find a lost ring or other important metalic item call or text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136

LOST WEDDING RING DROPPED FROM TRUCK ONTO BEACH SAND FOUND – EMERALD ISLE, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Bobbie-Jo had removed her wedding rings to apply lotion before a day on the beach. She was distracted and forgot to put the rings back on before leaving the truck that had parked on the Emerald Isle coastline. About an hour later, she realized they were not on her finger. They tried to search the sand for the rings and were not successful but knew the approximate area she left the truck. Bobbie-Jo remembered Crystal Coast Ring Finders being shared on a local Facebook group and she contacted me for assistance. I was in Ohio (which I spend months during the winter). I told her I knew some trustworthy friends that help while I am away. My friend Greg was the first to respond and headed towards Bobbie-Jo’s location very quickly. Greg said it was during his second pass his Minelab 700 sounded off and he had found the missing ring. It seems with teamwork it made for a great recovery

Lost ring found after two years!

  • from Ham Lake (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

This turned out to be too good to be true, a ring was lost during a Dr. visit in a parking lot two years ago! I was asked to search the premises but wouldn’t do it until I had permission! A phone call was made the ring was found and held waiting for the rightful owned to claim it! Doing the right thing pays off even if we aren’t the one that found it. The owner is elated but preferred to not be photographed.
