Lost – Ladies Gold Diamond Engagement Ring, Edgewater, F

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

Late on Friday evening, I received a message on Facebook from Jodi. She had read my post about finding a lost ring and was hoping I could help her locate one she had lost back in October. I told her I’d give her a call first thing the next day.

When I spoke with Jodi the following morning, she explained that she had been wearing her engagement ring on a chain while helping a friend clean up after Hurricane Milton. At some point, she noticed the chain had broken, and the ring was gone. We made plans to meet at noon to begin the search.

As I drove toward Edgewater, I offered a quick prayer for guidance. Upon arriving, I met Jodi and Henrietta, the owner of the property. They showed me the area where they had been working. Since they’d been dragging brush and debris across a large section of the property, the ring could have ended up anywhere.

I fired up my Minelab Manticore and started scanning. My first hit was just a piece of yard debris, but the next signal sounded promising—a much more gold-like tone. After digging just a few inches into the soil, I uncovered something sparkling: the missing ring! The entire search had taken only two minutes.

Jodi was overjoyed, tears in her eyes as she hugged the ring close. Henrietta was equally thrilled to see her friend’s treasured possession returned.

2 Lost Gold Rings Found Inside House in Sterling Heights Michigan

FIND No. 200…….

……FAB-YULE-US !!……

…..Got a text from Marilyn just after Christmas 2024 stating her 2 gold rings went missing during her family’s celebrations. Hers was white gold w/ diamonds and her deceased mom’s ring is yellow gold w/ rubies. Marilyn remembered taking them off together but then couldn’t find them the next day. With lots going on Christmas day thinking back she was able to narrow the area in the house she felt was an area of interest. Mentioning she checked many locations I suggested we check again. Methodically going thru some items with my metal detector, a good signal sounded out. The rings appeared to have fallen into some bins and got stuck. Marilyn gasped in amazement as the rings appeared! Now with New Year here and the chiming of bells, She and her family will literally be ringing in the new year!

Right Place, Right Time… Lost Cellphone FOUND while Metal Detecting at the Beach in Tampa Bay, FL!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee.  Call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7 at 610-504-6135.

I’m in Tampa Bay, Florida visiting my parents at their beach condo for New Years week.  My dad and I were out metal detecting at one of the local beaches yesterday (December 30th, 2024).  I was detecting on the wet sand along the shoreline when a gentleman flagged me down.  He told me that his wife, Lisa, had just lost her cellphone in the dry sand.  They tried raking their hands and feet through the sand, but couldn’t find it.  A couple next to them suggested using a metal detector… and they just so happened to spot me metal detecting, lol.  Talk about right place, right time!  I told him that I’d be more than happy to help.

We walked over and I met Lisa.  I asked the usual questions including how her cellphone was lost.  Lisa knew she had it on her when her family was moving their beach cart, towels, etc. closer to the shoreline.  It was a fairly small area to search with a metal detector, but it would be nearly impossible to find Lisa’s cellphone without one.  Her cellphone case is also a tan/sand color, so it easily blends in.

I asked Lisa for the outer boundaries and I setup a visual grid.  I cleared the main area in about 5-10 minutes with my Minelab Equinox 900.  Her family was digging a hole in the new area, so they picked up the toys and moved the beach cart out of the way.  I started searching the new area and got a good jumpy signal near the hole where the cart was.  I used my fingers to search the sand (I didn’t want to use my sand scoop and risk damaging Lisa’s cellphone).  I quickly felt and saw an outline of a cellphone!  We had found it!  I picked up the cellphone and held it in the air to show the group.  I gave Lisa a big hug and everyone around us began cheering.  Lisa was so happy and relieved to have her phone back!  We have so many photo memories and other personal things on a cellphone that we just can’t get back if it’s lost forever.

I talked with Lisa for a few minutes and she told me that her family is from Ohio.  They were in town for a wedding and decided to add a few days to their trip so they could go to the beach.  I was so happy that I was at that beach on that particular day and time.  Lisa said that getting her cellphone back really made her day/year.  I told her that it really made mine as well.  I give all praise and glory to God!

 

 

 

Here are the smiles I found in 2024!  7 items found — 5 rings, 1 earring, and 1 cellphone.  Happy New Years to all and God Bless!!!

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Rings at Ulua Lagoon Beach Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I returned from a hunt at Aulani Lagoon.  Shannon on vacation from Mt. Airy, Maryland left a voicemail saying his wife Kelly lost two White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Rings in the dry sand of Ulua lagoon.  While applying suntan lotion Kelly had taken off her rings and placed them on a beach chair.  Then as she went to adjust her chair the rings flew off into the sand and disappeared.  They had looked carefully but they were out of sight.  I told Shannon I would be over from the other lagoon in a moment and he told me there location on the beach.  As I headed down to the beach Shannon noticed me with my gear and waved me over.  We moved a beach chair out of the way and I started a grid search.  On the second leg I got a nice #10 on the Manticore and in one gentle scoop there were Kelly’s beautiful rings lying together in the scoop.  I let her reach in and retrieve them.  Shannon stated that wasn’t where they were looking and realized Kelly really adjusted that beach chair with some force.  All good, vacation saved.  Aloha to Kelly & Shannon!

Lost Property Markers (Irons) Found in Grosse Pointe Park Michigan

Defining the Boundaries……

….Is something all of us have had to deal with all our lives, from childhood when our parents set boundaries and now as adults where we set boundaries on finances, who we are friends with, and how much we want to deal with any situation and so on. Defining boundaries also creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding by showing respect for ourselves and gaining the respect from people in general. When John called me, he discussed his interest in locating his property markers to help him define the boundaries of his land before he started to trim some trees. Using my magnetic locator metal detector, we did some quick measurements to get us in the area for each concealed property iron. It was quick work with the magnetic locator to reveal each iron. Now with these fine lines clearly defined, it’s up to John and each neighbor to honor that boundary.

Snowball Fight, Expensive Ring Lost… and Found!

Christmas snowball fights are all fun and games—until someone loses a Cartier Panthère ring in the backyard! That’s exactly what happened to Chloe while she was tossing snowballs with (and at!) her cousin on Christmas Day.

Chloe and her dad, Jack, spent three days braving the cold, searching high and low in the snow for her stunning 18K yellow gold ring, but it was nowhere to be found. That’s when Jack decided to call in some reinforcements—me!

On December 27, I arrived, ready to turn their snowy backyard into a treasure map. With a little patience and the help of my trusty metal detector, we struck gold (literally) in just 30 minutes!

The moment we found it, the joy and relief on their faces said it all. Chloe got her beautiful Cartier Panthère ring back, and the snowball fight story gained a happy ending everyone will remember for years to come.

Moral of the story? Snowball fights are better without losing jewelry, but if you do, The Ring Finders are here to help!

Lost a ring?

Don’t wait to call!

215-850-0188

The day after Christmas, I received a call that would turn into one of those moments that remind you why you do what you do. Guy had lost his gold ring – not just any ring, but one he’d worn faithfully for half a century. The story of its disappearance was painfully simple: while tending to his Christmas Day fire pit, the cold had caused the ring to slip from his pinky finger, where he’d placed it because his usual finger was swollen.

The backyard had become an accidental treasure map. Somewhere between the fire pit and the scattered woodpiles, beneath a blanket of winter leaves, lay fifty years of memories in a ring of gold and coral.

I started methodically, sweeping my metal detector along the path Guy had taken to the first woodpile. Nothing. But treasure hunting is often about patience and persistence. Moving to the second pile of firewood, my detector sang out with that sweet, promising tone that makes every searcher’s heart skip a beat.

There it was, nestled among the logs – a gleaming circle of gold that had witnessed five decades of Guy’s life. The smile that spread across his face when I held it up was awesome to see!

Guy left a review:

“Like, not even 15min and John found my ring. We just traced my afternoon steps and located the ring under a pile of wood and oak leaves. Probably never would’ve have found it on my own. John is professional and a gentleman.”

Gold & Multi Diamond Ring Lost at Christmas, Found in West Kelowna

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Danielle was visiting her Parents in West Kelowna over the Christmas Period. Two days before Christmas, before she entered her parents house she shook her hands to get the rain off, as she did she she felt her 14k multi diamond ring come of by a tree. They all spent three days searching for it, to no avail. Dec 26th she found my services on Google, and gave me a call. I had time before dinner so I responded right away, Danielle found me on Google, however it took 45 minutes to find their location as Google was out of date. Danielle showed me the location by the tree, not sure if it bounced off the tree or not. It did bounce off and landed in the long grass around the tree, which made it an easy search for a Metal Detector. Her Happy Christmas was restored.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band at Fort Kamehameha Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text from Amanda who lives on Hickam AFB with her family.  Amanda found me on the Ring Finders!  So, earlier this morning as she applied sun tan lotion she removed her white gold wedding band and placed it on a beach chair for safe keeping.  At some point it went missing from there and when I arrived I could see finger raking marks in the sand where they had searched.  A few people on the beach were somewhat in the area and they kindly moved their gear so I could hunt without interference.  After firing up the Manticore I detected a steel pipe running all the way through the search area so I was happy when the first target a piece of aluminum came through strongly.  I started on the high side and worked low.  A few more junk targets and then I got a nice shallow #15 on the VDI and I told Amanda, “this sounds real good.”  Sure enough their was the white gold wedding band in the scoop.  Early Christmas present!  Aloha to Amanda!

Lost Koa Inlaid Zirconium Wedding Ring at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring fing began Thursday 12 December when I got a call from AJ from Eagle River, Alaska who lost his Zirconium, Koa Inlaid Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina while picking up his gear to run for cover under a tree while it started to rain.  Somewhere along that route his ring went missing.  He was leaving that day but gave me a map of the area.  I went Saturday morning and during the vast grid search AJ’s ring popped out of the dry sand in front of a tree near the grass.  It was dead center in the area he drew.  I texted him the good news and the ring finally arrived in Alaska today as you can see the smile on his face.  Aloha to AJ!
