Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – Kissimmee, FL – FOUND!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Andrew called me Monday night with the kind of news that sinks your stomach—he’d lost his gold ring, a gift from his wife 20 years ago. He’d been doing landscaping at a drugstore near Orlando while spreading mulch and cutting down a tree; and somewhere along the way, the ring vanished.

I told him I’d be there,  first thing in the morning.  I stopped and prayed to God that He would lead me to the ring the next day.

When I arrived, I headed straight for the freshly spread mulch out front. My Minelab Manticore lit up constantly—coins, pull tabs, even a silver bracelet—but not the one thing we were hoping for. No ring!

I reached out to John, Andrew’s employee, who was supposed to meet me there, but he was delayed by rain. When I asked if there were any other areas they’d worked, he mentioned a spot behind the store where they had removed a tree.  That was all I needed.

I moved to the back and started searching, working the area carefully for the next 20–30 minutes.  Still nothing but junk.   John eventually showed up, and I told him I was methodically gridding the area—but so far, no luck. After he left, I was determined not to miss anything, but running out of areas to search.  I prayed again, “Lord lead me to the ring.”

I changed my approach.  Instead of scanning the ground, I walked over to the actual stump of the tree they had removed. The moment I swept my detector over it, I got a strong, unmistakable signal.

Right in the hollow of the stump—tucked among bark and fresh sawdust—I spotted it.  A beautiful heavy gold ring!

Newlyweds get a happy ending

  • from Carmel-by-the-Sea (California, United States)

Panic at 10pm, as Teddy and his young wife from Macedonia reached out to ring finders. After an exhaustive night search on a chilly carmel beach, even having recruited passers-by, they wisely staked the site with driftwood and sent me a text. My mentor Tom and I met up with this really nice young couple next morning but unfortunately, they had three ideas where it (the golden band with a lot of sentimental value) went missing. Tom covered the parking area and bathrooms, I hit the beach. Teddy had taken a picture

when they laid out their towels ( this was key) so I worked in concentric rings from the driftwood and BANG a loud 17 on my NOX and out popped his wedding band! HAPPY ENDING!

Clayton, Missouri Lost Wedding Band

Easter Sunday my wife was hiding eggs in the yard. Our engagement ring was previously stolen, so the tiny wedding band was all we had left. No idea where it flew off while dropping eggs. I figured it was gone for good, but just like Jesus, it came back!

 

Jeremy was able to save the day

Metal Detecting Newport Beach, CA. Reliable Prompt Service .. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man … 24/7  as soon as possible … 949-500-2136


*** Allen and his friends were enjoying a day at Crystal Cove State Beach, Newport Beach, CA. He called me after they returned home requesting metal detecting help to find a ring that his wife had trusted him to hold. Allen told me that he was sure the ring had fallen out of his backpack when he bent down to pick up items as they were leaving.

The beach closes at sundown and we both raced to get into gates before they closed. I didn’t spend much time on the phone to get anymore details.

We both were able to get inside to the parking area 5 minutes before they quit allowing entry. Allen walked me to where he believed the ring had slipped out of his backpack. Boom !! I found the missing ring in a 10x10ft. area. He was ecstatic, because he wasn’t sure a metal detector could find a small ring. Also, he had felt guilty for not securing the ring in a safe place..

Now for the rest of the story. As I was taking photos of the first ring, Allen told me his wife had lost another ring that same day, that was why she ask him to hold the remaining ring. They believed the first ring was probably in the surf. I suggested that I take a few minutes to scan the area before leaving. 15 minutes later I found the first ring near where his wife had been playing volleyball.

Allen had already called his wife about finding the backpack lost ring. He decided to wait till he returned home to surprise her with both her precious rings.

As we all know, there are multiple ways a ring can go missing; none of them feel good. Gabriela reached out to me with just such an issue.

On Monday, I received her text message and a few short hours later we found ourselves wading waist deep in tall grass on a hillside behind her home.  The ring went lost the previous day and a search ensued.  The ring was not found and the situation felt futile, but for an experienced detectorist with a “can do” attitude and the right equipment, we made the recovery!  It didn’t take long to locate the ring with the information Gabriela was able to provide, and a bummer situation was turned into a joyous moment of triumph.

Thank you Gabriela for allowing me to help you with the situation and trusting in me to get the job done.  I wish you all the best in your life’s journey and I hope you will tell the tale of that ring far and wide.

Also, for the geeks like me…this ring was found on an Equinox 800 with an 8-9 VDI.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)


Stan the Metal Detector Man … Metal Detecting Service for for Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and all othe Orange County Beaches, Parks, Yards and any areas a Metal detector can be used.. Cal or text ASAP ..  949-500-2136


***Jose was at work when he found my contact information. He had been searching the internet for a metal detector because he had lost a large silver ring. His loss happened a couple days before while playing football at Huntington City Beach.

He was unable to meet me at the location but it wasn’t necessary because he gave me very good landmarks and I’m very familiar with this beach. He was sure his ring was on before starting to play  football and it was missing after he stopped playing. The challenge was the area was larger than half of a normal football field. ( grid search a soccer field 6 could be hours fortnight find ).

Huntington Beach is groomed nightly with beach sifting machines. I thought we might have a chance because this area was what we call no-man’s land. ( Center area of the beach between board walk and towel line ).. After 3 hours of grid searching Jose’s silver ring showed up in my scoop.. I met him after he got off work to return his ring.
