Lost Platinum and Diamond Wedding Band…Recovered from the Soccer Pitch!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

I was cooking Saturday morning breakfast for the family when Eric called.  His wife was assisting with setting up soccer goals for an early game and lost her Platinum and Diamond wedding band somewhere amongst the grass.  They looked for quite some time and even enlisted the help of others at the field.  At one point there was a cheap child’s metal detector deployed, but with low batteries and an abundance of “beeps” it produced more frustration than results.

I was keen to the task, but schedules meant the ring would overnight there until the following Morning when I could get an early jump on it.  When I arrived, it was just before sunrise and it was shaping up to be a gorgeous day. The nicely groomed fields were wet from overnight fog which played a nice roll in my grid searches.  I noticed that as I swung from side to side, if I brushed the top of the grass it would change the color and I knew exactly what I had covered and where I had not.

The field was large, but Eric had met me there and showed me the target areas for our search.  It was still a large enough area to take some time and after I cleared one of the target areas we moved off to the next.  The field was trashy with a lot of deeper targets but I did locate a few odds and ends.  Then after 20 minutes or so in the new location…We made the recovery!  Tucked out of sight in the green grass the small wedding band came into view and Eric confirmed it to be our target.  We took a few photos and a video and the mission was happily accomplished.

Thank you Eric for your feedback and in trusting me with your wife’s ring.  I wish you all both the very best and hope you tell the story of the once missing ring far and wide.

Gold Ring Lost off Boardwalk at Laguna Main Beach, CA. Found During Nighttime Search

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)


Metal Detector Man searching service is available now for you. 24/7 ..  Call or text  .. 949-500-2136


*** Lost Ring calls at the beach seem to come after people have spent hours looking for the ring. Sometimes the delay of contacting an experienced ringfinder is because they returned home where they could go online to get information about buying or renting a metal detector. Many calls come after dark.

Steve and his wife, Li had been walking the boardwalk at Laguna Beach, CA. Li dropped her gold ring near the edge of the wooden boardwalk. She wasn’t sure if it had fallen in the sand or that the ring fell into the cracks between the boards. The way the boardwalk is constructed, there is no access under the walkway. Hopefully the ring didn’t drop, through the cracks.

Most people don’t understand how a metal detector works. Before beginning the grid search, I told them that I could only search the accessible sand. I know  my metal detector could find the ring if it is there. I try to explain this to people prior to doing a search,  so they don’t get disappointed if the ring is not found. Many times the people are satisfied that the search area has been cleared by an experienced metal detector expert.

This was one of the quick easy searches. The ring had fallen in the sand just 3 feet from the edge of the boardwalk. Making it simple to find with my state of the art metal detector equipment. It was easier because Steve and Li called me soon after she felt it slip off her finger. They also marked the location and waited there till I arrived.

After finding Li’s sentimental gold ring . It was exciting for me to see how happy she was when I found her ring. I know it probably has important personal memories for her.

Heirloom Ring Lost for Years Found in NJ

  • from Madison (New Jersey, United States)

Andrew holding his lost ring shortly after it was found today in NJ

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — Several years ago, Andrew was tossing some yard debris down an embankment on his property when a family heirloom ring he had worn flew off into the leafy hillside below. Thinking the ring was lost, he wrote it off to bad luck.

The heirloom ring being pulled from the dirt where it had been missing for five years

As time wore on, Andrew decided to rekindle the search and contacted Ringfinder Bill Leasure. Bill searched the hillside up and down and side to side, for several hours. Finally, after moving some old two by fours, a strong signal emerged from the leaves below. About two inches down, the shining ring popped out of its years-long hiding spot. Another successful recovery by Ringfinder Bill Leasure, finding Northern New Jersey’s lost rings one happy customer at a time.

 

 

Gold Necklace Pendant Lost on Grass Football Field Found .. Westminister , CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

If you have lost something that is important to you. Call or text me at 949-500-2136 … I can answer any questions you may have about my recovery service. Available to help you 24/7 .. Stan the Metal Detector Man


*** Antonio lost a gold pendant at a Westminister, CA. park while playing football with his friends. He was sure the pendant was on the grassy field . He called me after he had another guy search for it with a metal detector.

  I met him late in the afternoon to get an idea of where he thought it may have come off. A football field is a massive area which could take me 5 or 6 hours if it wasn’t there or I missed it.

Antonio was very upset as this was a gift from his mother who had recently passed away. Actually he was going to be attending her funeral. The next day while I was doing the search.

My game plan was to separate the large area in five sections. Starting with Area #1 center of field. Areas  #2 and #3 the ends nearest the goal lines. Lastly, areas #4 and #5  would be grid searched.

The pendant was found in the first search area after an hour and a half of slow and low meticulous swinging of my Minelab Manticore metal detector. Searches can be quick if you start in the right spot. “ Some say it’s a game of inches.”

We were lucky this time and it was an emotional return as Antonio had been at the funeral and didn’t know the pendant was found till later that day.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Farmington Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Kiss the Blarney Gold!

Excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and with a spring in his step, Walt decided to do some chores around the yard before enjoying some fine food and drink. Upon completion he noticed his gold ring fell off. As we were walking to the backyard, I looked around and didn’t see any rainbows or leprechauns, so I randomly picked an area to start metal detecting. Using my MXT bigfoot coil attached to my shillelagh I started to grid search. Within a few minutes I got a nice signal and sound on the metal detector. Reaching down into the leaves revealed his concealed gold ring! Lifting it out I handed it to Walt who kissed the gold ring and said, May the road always rise to meet you and wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Waimanalo Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Michelle that read, “Hey I’m on waimanalo beach and have lost my wedding ring. Is that something you help with?”  I immediately called Michelle and found out she was visiting from Salt Lake City, Utah and assisting her father in moving his home on island.  While enjoying the day at Waimanalo Beach, Michelle reached to return hit a volleyball and her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement ring flew off and disappeared in the sand.  After several hours sifting the sand through a box sifter it became obvious they weren’t going to find the ring without a little metal detecting.  I told Michelle I would grab my gear and head over and that they were about 30 minutes away.  When I arrived the first thing I noticed was a box sand sifter and a pile of sand.  They had been working hard but the ring was no where to be found.  I fired up the beast and started a grid search.  First target was a wine bottle cap.  Then I got a solid perfect dot #27 on the VDI and in one deep sccoop there was Michelle’s gorgeous ring.  A few hugs later and the joy on her face proved once again why I love this hobby so much.  Aloha to Michelle!

 

Grandfather’s Gold Crucifix Lost in Grassy Area, Found and Returned Leland, NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

A little after 11am this morning, the 21st of March, I got a message from fellow Ring Finder, Steve Ray. The message said “I just got a call about a lost cross where he knows the area, along, but not in a lake. Leland NC, if you’re interested. I’m in Ohio.” Steve also sent a text from the owner, along with a phone number. I messaged Steve back saying, “Yea, I can take it.” I called the number in the text and didn’t get an answer, so I left a voice mail. Within seconds, Matt, the owner, called me back and I got additional information. He agreed with me coming to search, and I told him I’d be there in about an hour.

When I arrived, Matt was standing on the balcony of the apartment and came right down to the parking lot.  As we’re walking out to the area, he explained that when he woke up this morning, he needed to get something out of the car. At the time, his wife had the car keys, and she was out in a back area of the apartments with the dogs. So, he had walked out to get the keys from his wife. While he was out there, he felt the chain break that was holding the Crucifix. He grabbed the chain and thought the Crucifix fell out of his shirt on the ground. He also stated that he searched the area numerous times. He also searched the bedroom, bathroom and rest of the apartment with no luck. As he’s taking me to the area, I searched his path both visually and with the Nox 800. When we got to where he said the chain broke, I started a grid search. It was a small area, maybe 10×20 foot square. Both sides of the area had wire fencings. I checked those areas, which was mostly leaves with my pin pointer. As I’m searching, all of a sudden, he says, “Thank You for coming” and he had a big smile on his face. It only meant one thing! As I turned around to see what he was talking about, he put both hands on my shoulder and squeezed my shoulders. He pointed to the ground, and I could see the Crucifix, which was well blended in with the ground. I love it when things work out for the best. On the way back to my car, Matt told me the Crucifix originally belonged to his grandfather. When Matt’s grandparents hit their 50th wedding anniversary, his grandfather had the Crucifix specially engraved and gave it to wife. Both grandparents have passed and it’s all the more sentimental to Matt as a reminder of his Grandparents every day. It was a beautiful story!

Matt – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

Diamond Ring Lost in Ankle Deep Water at SoCal Beach

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

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


*** Joey contacted me needing help to find a diamond engagement his wife lost in ankle deep water at a Southern California Beach. I told him we only had a few hours before high tide. I suggested that he call another detector guy closer to the location.  If the guy couldn’t do the search, call me back.

Joey called me back giving me the general area. I said it would take me about an hour and half to get there. It would be necessary to be able to have Monique present to hear her describe how and where the loss occurred.

We all showed up at the same time. The tide was low enough to use the detector without getting wet.

Monique’s beautiful diamond engagement ring was exactly where she had been collecting sea shells, already 2” deep in wet sand.

Timing is very important especially for losses that happen on public beaches with tides that change from minus -1.0 ft. low tide to plus + 5.6 ft. high tide.

Don’t waste your time renting or buying a cheap metal detector. If you don’t have any experience operating one, it could be very frustrating. Let me come to you with the best equipment available and experience for recovering all types of sentimental keepsakes. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. Mobile metal detecting service .. 949-500-2136
