*** This was a recovery back in January 2024 .. Gary had hung his Silver Pendant on his Christmas tree. As in remembrance of his grandmother who had passed away. She had given this to him years ago.

After the holidays were over Gary took the covering the base of the Christmas tree outside to shake off the pine needles. The next day he realized he had not  removed the Silver pendant from the tree. After checking the tree that had been in the trash, the pendant was not to be found. He suspected that it could have been in the floor covering and could possibly be in his front yard.

He called me instead of renting or buying a metal detector. I met him that same morning and it didn’t take long to find the silver pendant. It was definitely deep in the grass and not visible.

I could see right away that this small silver pendant meant the world to him. It was a pleasure to be available to help Gary.

Minnesota lost weeding ring recovered metal detecting

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

A young man from Germany was visiting Minnesota with his family. Staying at a VRBO in White Bear Lake. They decided to take the kids sledding as the backyard had a nice slope. After sledding he noticed his ring was missing. After searching the web for help, he came upon theringfinders.com website and called me. The snow was still quite deep for my first try and I couldn’t find it. I told him not to worry as I would give it a try after the melt. The 2nd time was the charm.

Glad I could help out!!

Magical Necklace Lost and Found – Kohler-Andre State Park, WI.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

It was not yet May. Lake Michigan waters were still too cold for a swim. However, that didn’t deter Beaver Dam, Wisconsin resident, Victor Nelson, from taking a refreshing plunge. Victor was spending a relaxing day with his girlfriend on the picturesque beach at Kohler-Andre State Park near Sheboygan. Before jumping into the frigid waves, Victor removed a meaningful silver necklace, giving it to his girlfriend for safekeeping.

Inspired by The Dresden Files the necklace and pendant were crafted after one described by the fiction author, Jim Butcher. Wikipedia explains how in Butcher’s book, the necklace had a pendant in the form of a pentacle with its encircled five-pointed star. The pentacle represented the five elements of air, fire, water, earth and spirit. It had “the power to repel certain creatures of the Nevernever and glows with a low blue light when infused with Harry’s will.” For Victor, the pentacle necklace had more than magical value. Complete with its lab-grown center ruby, the necklace was a special, thoughtful gift from his girlfriend.

To Victor’s horror, he realized the necklace was missing after the couple returned to their vehicle later in the afternoon. Victor’s girlfriend was likewise distressed, this as she had been entrusted with its safekeeping. It had somehow slipped away into the sand while moving beach furniture.

Replaying the afternoon’s activities, it seemed the necklace had slipped off its resting place and disappeared into the loose sand. Despite a half-hour of frantic searching the necklace could not be found. Victor considered renting or purchasing a metal detector but found my listing on theringfinders.com directory instead. A week later my wife and I met up with the hopeful couple at the beach.

Being a Wisconsin State Park, I completed the mandatory license application for a metal-detecting permit. Permit in hand, Victor led the way to the location where he and his girlfriend had spent the day a week prior. Using a nearby piece of partially-buried driftwood as ground zero, a systematic grid search commenced. After an hour the unmistakable signal of silver appeared on my detector’s control screen. The necklace’s hiding place was no match for a state-of-the-art XP Deus II metal detector. While the pentacle didn’t glow with a low blue light when it was found, but the smile on Victor’s face was more than magical!

So glad we were able to find your special necklace, Victor.

*** Marcel called me from the Los Angeles International AirPort. He was waiting to board a  airplane. He was asking if I could help him find his wedding ring. He was sure it was lost that same afternoon as he was at the original muscle beach recreation facility in Santa Monica, CA.

He sent me a photo of two of the swinging rings and some bars he worked out on. I agreed to leave after talking to him. This is one of places that can’t be put off till the next day. An hour and a half later I had Marcel’s ring safe in my hand.

After texting him the good news, he asked if I could keep it till he returned from his business trip four weeks later. No Problem, I’d like to return it personally than worry about losing in the mail..

Just like he said, I received a phone call from Marcel and he met me close to my home where I was able to present him with his wedding ring..

Lost and Found Diamond Rings in Puerto Rico.

Contact:

 This was a joint venture by Jerry Van Buren and Donald O’Reilly to search for two very expensive diamond rings lost in the ocean. We teamed up for this find due to the limited time we had to search in the ocean and the remoteness on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico.

The following is a write-up sent to both of us after both rings were found and returned to the owner.

Thank you both so much again! We are still in shock that you found the rings! We cannot thank you enough!!

Below is our recounting of the story:

“My husband and I recently vacationed to Puerto Rico with some friends. While we were there, we ferried over to the island of Vieques and visited a rural beach called Playa La Chiva. While we were in about waist deep water tossing a football around, all of a sudden, to my horror, I realized that both my wedding band and engagement ring had slipped off my finger. We all frantically began searching everywhere where we were playing in the water. We searched for about two or three hours with a snorkel and trying to feel in the sand but couldn’t find it anywhere. Obviously it seemed pretty impossible, but we were just praying that we would miraculously find it, but had no luck. I was devastated. The ring was irreplaceable. My husband had made it custom with a diamond from his grandma. This put a damper on the rest of our trip, but what else could we do? We flew home the next day, very sad. However, the night we returned, God gave my husband the idea to look up how to find a lost ring and ringfinders.com came up. He contacted Jerry and Donald separately told him the story and asked if they could help. We soon found out they knew each other and were up for the challenge to search for my ring together. They were very responsive and extremely nice. They gave us hope that just maybe we would be able to find the ring. We provided them with pictures of where we were so they could know the area we lost it on the island. They went out of their way to take the ferry, rent a car in order to get to the beach because the taxis wouldn’t go on the backroads to Playa La Chiva. Within 30 minutes of searching we received a call from them that they found both my engagement ring and wedding band in waist deep water!! We were ecstatic!!! The next day I flew to Puerto Rico to retrieve the rings. They were so nice to drive to meet us and give us the rings. They are so so kind! I’m so grateful for their willingness to search and cannot believe they found my rings! This was nothing short of a miracle! Thank you Jerry and Donald for giving us hope when we had none and going out of your way to help complete strangers! You are incredible!”

Good Friday Event: Wedding Band Recovered – Marriage Saved!

  • from Warner Robins (Georgia, United States)
Contact:

On March 15th I received a call from Matt, who explained how while camping he had lost his uniquely crafted tantalum wedding band.  While on a camping excursion to his good friend’s farm, halfway between Macon and Milledgeville, Matt was taking care of the cooking and needed to remove his wedding band.  Sometime later Matt realized the ring was nowhere to be found on his person or around the area he was sitting during most of the evening.  Matt and his friend did a thorough search the next day, but the ring was lost.  That’s when Matt reached out to me. We arranged to meet at his friend’s farm on Good Friday.  When I arrived, I could not help but notice the beauty and peacefulness of the surroundings.  I enjoyed meeting Matt and we discussed in greater detail the circumstances surrounding his wedding band going missing. I could also see portions of the farm had been taped off for searching.  So with information in hand, the search was on.  I first searched the seating and fire pit areas where a coin spillage was found, but no ring.  My search then expanded outwards from the fire pit in a circular pattern.  After 20 minutes into the hunt, a promising strong tone was emitted from the detector.  A gentle excavation of the location revealed the hunt was a success; Matt’s wedding band had been found!   Matt was overjoyed and immediately contacted his wife to inform her that his wedding band was recovered and was back on his finger. I am extremely grateful for Matt contacting me through ringfinders.com and allowing me to find his wedding band.  Thank you to Matt for his very generous reward.  Your generosity also led to a person in need being blessed.  God is so good!

Wedding Band Recovered at South Georgia Hunting Site

  • from Warner Robins (Georgia, United States)
Contact:
On Easter Sunday I received an unexpected phone message from a Florida number.  The message said, “Do you serve the Bainbridge Georgia area?”  When we spoke the next day, Lee explained that he had lost his ring as he was cutting a firebreak on his heavily wooded property in south-central Georgia.  The site was 2 hours away; as good fortune would have it, my wife and I had plans on making a trip to Florida so we arranged a rendezvous.  Additional text messages from Lee conveyed logistic and site environment details for the search (beware of the Georgia gnats, snakes, and some very muddy conditions). We arrived at the property, which was being developed as a hunting retreat, with lodging and all the equipment to maintain the property.  Lee explained the different locations where the ring may have slipped off, and I explained how the metal detecting would be effective in searching those areas.  The ring itself was a very interesting story. It was constructed by a master jeweler from a platinum base with inset gold and diamonds from parts of a gold chain, a family ring and other pieces of jewelry.    After considering the merits of the three locations, I suggested we search the spot where Lee had washed all of the equipment at the end of his workday.   My metal detection strategy was to detect the dominant platinum metal of the ring, which on the Equinox 800 should have been detected with metal conduction number of 16 -18. Sweeping the wash area, I first detected a rifle casing, then a bullet casing, and then incredibly, just 10 minutes into the search, the detector chirped a loud 20 tone for a target very near the surface.  The detector’s pin-pointer function directed my gaze to a bright, shiny loop segment just barely visible, like a flower pushing through the soil in the springtime.  I immediately called Lee over and pointing to the location I asked him, “Is that your ring?” It’s hard for me to describe the joy when Lee plucked the ring out of the ground, but having lost and found my wedding ring in the past, I can testify there is a fullness of joy that makes such an event unforgettable.  I am deeply humbled and extremely grateful for Lee’s incredible act of generosity for finding his ring.  Through Lee’s generosity, a cancer patient at my church has also been blessed.  God is so good!

San Clemente, CA. .. T-Street .. Third Time Finding Same Platinum Ring

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 .. Also my email is: stan@metaldetectorman.com

*** Jeremy has experience losing his ring at the beach. He has called me two other times to find his lost ring in the sand at the beach. Now he’s much more careful to not lose his ring at the beach. While on the beach with his wife and child. He took his platinum wedding ring off putting it in a bag with the rest of their belongings.

He went into the surf for a swim while his son and wife stayed on the sand. Upon returning he saw that his son had been playing with the bag. The ring was missing. More than an hour later he had not been able to find the ring. He took photos of the area for future reference and left the beach.

That evening he sent me a text with all the information and the photo. I texted him that it was unnecessary for him to meet me at the location. I could be there early that morning and it should be an easy recovery. I know my area beaches.

The ring was there about 4 inches deep in the dry sand. He put me right on the right spot.. After returning the ring later that morning, Jeremy told me putting the ring in the bag was not safe enough. He vowed not to ever take his ring to the beach, it will be left home from now on..

I’m ready to help you find your missing metal item lost at the beach, yard, park or in the water. Also I have been able to recover jewelry in cars, homes or other places where a metal detector can’t be used using endoscopes and other search tools.
