Yellow Gold Crucifix Lost under Stilted House, Found and Returned Surfside Beach SC

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

On Friday, March 8th, I received the following message from Corey, “Hi, I have a house in Surfside Beach. One of the guests has dropped a necklace and the crucifix came off of it and can’t be located. Checking to see if you’re interested in trying to find it.” I responded saying “Sure. Call me,” and sent him my number. When he called he gave me a few more details. He mentioned that when the crucifix was dropped on the concrete it bounced, possibly in an area beside the driveway. I told him I’d be there in 30-45 minutes. I also asked him to text me the address, which he did.

On the drive down, Corey sent me a picture of the area, with a red circle around the particle spot where the crucifix had been dropped. When I pulled into the driveway, I got a better idea of the possibilities of what I needed to do. First, I did a visual of the entire area, looking through 2 boxes of kid’s shovels, buckets and other beach toys with no luck. Next I looked in and around a golf cart, including releasing the brake to move the cart and looked under the tires. Still nothing, I pulled my Gold Bug with a 6” coil out of the car and started detecting the ground holding a row of trees, mulch and dead leaves beside the driveway. I pulled out about a dozen roofing and siding nails, pull tabs and bottle caps, but still no crucifix. I went to the neighbor’s yard and did the back side of the tree line. I moved over to the opposite side of the driveway and checked the grass area. I was out of ideas, so I grabbed my Equinox 800, lowered the sensitivity and researched the tree line. I called Corey and told him I hadn’t had any luck. He told me that Kim, who is the owner of the cleaning company that cleans the rental, was coming over and would be there in about 10 minutes. I told him I’d wait.

When Kim arrived she told me that in the process of cleaning the house, she had found the chain and crucifix among other items the renters had left behind. In the process of moving the items downstairs to the garage she set everything down on the seat of the golf cart. At that time the crucifix was still on the chain. When she picked up everything to move it to the garage is when she noticed the crucifix was gone. Her co-worker said she heard something hit the concrete and saw it bounce into the tree line. The two searched everywhere and couldn’t find the crucifix, hence I was called. She opened up the garage to show me where she had set everything down. Not sure if when she picked up the items, the crucifix fell out or not but we both saw the crucifix lying on the garage floor. Woo-Hoo!!!! I can’t remember if Kim said the owner lived in Michigan or Wisconsin but she was going to get the crucifix back home soon.

Kim – Thank you for helping solve the mystery.

Corey – Thanks for trusting me and The Ring Finders to help find this treasure.

Lost gold and diamond ring found – Marco Island

  • from Marco Island (Florida, United States)

While spending the day with his family in Marco Island and playing in the waves with his son, Thomas realized his gold band was no longer on his finger.  After spending the afternoon looking with a metal detector without any luck, his wife took to the internet and posted the loss.  A few responses came back “you gotta call Mark!”  Well his wife found Mark, and I was down there with an hour searching.  Well so were several other metal detectors too that had seen the post.  The rest is now history, found the ring in the abyss, and now their story continues.  Remember it’s only list until you call…God does hear and answers prayers! 🙏🏻🎉

Lost Car Keys after midnight Laguna Beach found and returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

If you need help finding a lost metallic item call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. Available now call or text .. 949-500-2136  or email stan@metaldetectorman.com

** Jazi was at the beach late at night with his friend. After he walked off the beach he realized he must have dropped his car keys somewhere between where he was sitting on the beach and his parked car. 

I received a call from Jazi about 2am in the morning. I knew he was desperate and was willing to go help him except he said he was at Torrey Pines State Beach. Too far of a drive for a search that hour of the night. The next morning he called me back explaining he was actually at Victory Beach which is in the city of Laguna Beach. It is only a 15 mile drive for me. 

He was at work when I talked to him and wasn’t able to meet me at the location. To make things worse, his car was still at the location.

No problem for me to do a search at this beach without him to show me a possible area of the loss. He was able to explain where he had been. I know this beach very well so I was able to get there and find his keys. 

Now, without a way to pick up his keys, I volunteered to bring the keys to his work place. The good news is later that day his  friend took him to pick up his car before it was towed or ticketed.

Engagement ring recovered in Green Bay snow.

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

In early January, I received a message about a lost engagement ring from Emma, who was playing in the snow at night at her future mother-in-law’s home, and it slipped off somewhere in the yard next to the driveay .   They had shoveled the snow aside the next day and looked carefully, but could not find it.     I brought my trusty Garrett AT Pro, but decided to teach Emma how to use an analog Tesoro Umax, and perhaps recruit another potential metal detectorist to the hobby!   Sure enough, after a few surface coins popped out, she found a clear “ringy” signal.  I brushed away the snow, and revealed a beautiful emerald and gold ring that took my breath away.    I could see why she was concerned!   Her beautiful ring was back on her finger and she and her fiancé were relieved.

Lost Gold Wedding Band at 4 Seasons Resort Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began as I was exiting the 4 Seasons Lagoon at Ko Olina Resort.  A gentleman named Matt had asked my bud Terry if I had found a wide gold wedding ring and not knowing, he told the gentleman to ask me as I was exiting the water.  So Matt who was on his Honeymoon from Paso Robles, California approached me as I was exiting the water and asked if I had found a wide gold wedding band while I was hunting the lagoon.  He described perfectly the 18K Gold Band I just found about 30 minutes earlier in chest deep water.  To be sure it fit him perfectly and he recognized and described a gash the ring had in it.  Matt’s lovely bride Megan joined us and told me they thought it would never be found after losing it the day before.  They were thinking it would be out to sea by now.  Thankfully the lagoons are calm and most rings just sink to the bottom and stay put.  Matt and Megan were very appreciative and happy their Honeymoon was back on a high note. Aloha to Megan & Matt!

Neil decided to put his wedding band in the pocket of his beach chair for safekeeping while he spent time on the beach with his wife and friends in Ocean City, NJ. After he got back to his house, he went to look for the ring but discovered a hole in the pocket instead. He gave me a call and exained the situation. The ring could have dropped in the sand by the chair or anywhere along the path they walked home. I met him where the group sat and started the search there. There were several targets, mostly Matchbox cars, that I had to weed out, and then I heard the tone from the metal detector I was expecting, the sound of the ring. Now their weekend getaway in Ocean City, NJ was able to end on a high note!

Lost engagement ring recovered using teamwork. Lincoln, Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)

Moira got ahold of me and said she had noticed on Saturday at the 6th hole of a golf course that her irreplaceable engagement ring was not on her finger. I asked when was the last time she knew she had it. She said Wednesday night. Wow we were looking at a big window with lots of real estate. We talked for over an hour, narrowing down places to look and shortening the timeline. I agreed to meet at her house the next day. We talked about things she was going to look through in her house and I was going to work the outside, detecting and endoscoping her car. She went inside and I started to set up a grid to cover every square inch of where she threw balls for her two dogs. After some time she appeared outside with a big beautiful. She had found it while going through some places she had ran her hands. This truly was a great example of what teamwork with an experienced Ring Finder can accomplish.

Lost Claddagh Friendship ring found in Fillmore

  • from Oxnard (California, United States)

In a heartwarming twist of fate, I received an urgent call from Tim, an old friend whose wife, Amy, had played a pivotal role in our lives. Amy, once a caregiver to our children in daycare and later their preschool teacher, held a special place in our hearts. Little did I know, this call would lead to a remarkable journey of lost and found.

Tim’s distress stemmed from Amy’s misplaced Claddagh friendship ring, a cherished memento from her best friend. Symbolizing enduring friendship and love, the ring held profound sentimental value. Entrusted to her granddaughter for safekeeping, it tragically slipped from her grasp during a playful swing session in their front yard.

Phone tag to find the Key Fob owner in Kelowna.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Friday night I received a phone call from a fellow detectorist, who asked if I could assist a lady with a lost key Fob. He gave me the ladies number, but the  group of ladies stranded could not identify the park where they where at, they forwarded me on to their Aunt from Edmonton. By the time we figured it out it is was dark, I told them I would be there the next morning.  Saturday morning I got there at 7am, without any specific location, just by the parked red Mazda, sand or maybe the grass? I started gridding the sand, and after 30 minutes I had the Car Fob. I phoned the Aunts number, phone not in use, so I called the initial detectors request, and he did not know, but his brother did, I called his brother who contacted the lady and said she would call me back. Her friends turned up and sure enough it was their Key Fob. They started the car and drove it to the owner. Key fobs are expensive to replace, especially with the car stranded.
