Ana called explaining that she had lost her ring while at the beach, and was not able to find it. I let her know that I would be able to help, and was available, so I packed up my gear, and was on my way.

When I got to the beach I found Ana quickly, and she showed me where she lost her ring. The area was not real large, but as I began, there seemed to be a lot of metal in the area, probably because it was right next to a beach entrance. It seemed as though I could not move 2 inches before I had to dig something, because I was getting many signals. The one thing I have learned in this service is that a person has to have patience and perseverance, so I kept at it digging and digging. I finally came upon Ana’s ring, and we were both very happy. Pretty ring, and happiness all around.

***Carolyn was with her friends on a small beach at Balboa Island. She had 4 rings that she had taken off, putting them on the edge of her towel. While she was away from her towel, one of her friends moved the towel, not knowing the rings were on the towel.

She was able to find two of the rings. The other two rings had disappeared. She was frustrated after a couple hours of searching. Then it was time to go to the internet for ideas to find rings in beach sand. My contact information was listed in the Newport Beach area.

After a short conversation, Carolyn gave me an address minutes away from my base. She waited for me and within 30 minutes I was able to find both rings. Another happy lady that was surprised that there is a metal detecting service available in Newport Beach. Google helps people in many ways.

Lost White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring In Leduc, Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:
         
Yesterday, I received a call from Tegan requesting my assistance in locating her lost engagement ring. She had lost the ring while brushing snow off her vehicle around 6:30 am. Although she felt the ring detach from her finger, she was unable to determine its direction of travel.

After conducting a preliminary assessment, I was confident that I would be successful in finding the ring. I agreed to travel to Leduc, where Tegan informed me that her fiancée was actively searching for the ring in the parking lot.

Upon my arrival, I encountered Chase, who was present in the parking lot. He had utilized snow melt to clear four parking stalls but had not yet located the ring. He had been searching for the past seven hours.

After thoroughly analyzing the area and employing my test ring, I concluded that the ring was not in the immediate vicinity. It was likely still on her vehicle or had fallen off during her departure from the parking lot.

I conducted a comprehensive search of the parking lot, extending from the exit of the parking lot to four parking stalls before Tegan’s stall. By this time Chase was convinced that the ring was gone for ever,

During the search I detected a distinct metallic tone from my metal detector, confirming the presence of the ring I pointed to the ground and told Chase this is Tegan’s ring . Chase was astounded by my discovery and expressed his disbelief that the ring had been found.
Thank you Tegan and Chase for entrusting me to find your losts engagement ring.

Received a text saying this young lady had lost her engagement ring while throwing a ball for her dog. As soon as she threw it, she felt it fly off and heard a “DING” as it hit the metal fence. She wasn’t sure if it was in the yard or over the fence.

Her, her fiancé along with a friend spent all day looking for it and tried using a metal detector as they raked pine straw and putting them in bags.

I arrive, get the story and based on the details, I knew it had to be over the fence. I scanned the inside first, just to make sire, but quickly headed for the other side. After about 15-20 mins a get a good ring signal and there it was in the pine straw on the other side of the fence.

Now it is back where it belongs!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS & BURY THE DRAMA!”

Green Bay wedding ring recovered in snow

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

On Thanksgiving Eve, I received a message about a lost wedding ring in my neighborhood.    As luck would have it, Emilie was a classmate of our youngest son at Preble H.S., so she knew they could trust us.  After everyone was done with Thanksgiving festivities, I popped over to start the search.    There had been a light snowfall, and the ring popped up in the air when she took off her mitten and shook snow off of her hand.   We guessed it had flown off into the front yard.  After about 15 minutes of searching the yard, all I heard was five or six coin signals, and they were too deep to be the ring.  So, I started covering the opposite side of the sidewalk, toward the house and between juniper bushes.   It didn’t make sense that it would be there because she was shaking her left hand, and we reasoned that it could not have flown to toward the house, on her right side.  But, I heard a signal between the juniper bushes, and my bright headlamp showed some twinkling just underneath the snow.   I pin-pointed it with the Garrett “carrot,” and there it was: one of the most beautiful rings I’ve ever recovered!  There were smiles all around!  I was glad to make her Thanksgiving complete!  IMG_6770[1]

Another smile for the Ringfinder’s clients!

*** Chris contacted me after losing his gold ring in knee deep water near th St. in Newport Beach, CA. His beloved pet dog had recently passed away. They had spent many days walking on the beach together. He felt it appropriate to put his dog’s ashes in the ocean. While walking out his ring slipped off his finger into the surf. His friend was actually making a video of Chris walking out into the surf.I was able to get to location at the next low tide. The video helped me identify the approximate location because there were breakwater rocks in the background. Within 15 minutes I had Chris’s gold ring in my sand scoop. He met me later the next day at a resturant near his work place.

Timing is very important in most cases. Call as soon as possible. It may save your lost item from being lost forever.. I’m available to answer your questions 24/7 … Stan  .. 949-500-2136

A Sparkle in the Snow: The Lost Ring Reunion. Another recovery in the books.

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
It was one of those crisp autumn afternoons that hinted at winter’s arrival, the kind where the air carries a bite and the leaves crunch underfoot like nature’s confetti. I was wrapping up my day when my phone buzzed with a text from a client in distress. “Lost my wedding ring while blowing leaves in the backyard,” it read. “Got your name from Darren Gray—another Ringfinder. Can you help?” My heart warmed at the mention of Darren. He’s a legend in our community, always generous with passing on leads when he’s swamped or out of range. I’ve been grateful for those opportunities more times than I can count; they remind me how connected we all are in this quirky world of treasure hunting.I texted back that I’d be there in about an hour, grabbed my gear—metal detector, pin-pointer, headlamp, and a few extras—and hit the road. You learn quick in this line of work: better to be overprepared than caught short. A search could wrap up in minutes or stretch into hours, and with the sun dipping earlier these days, I wasn’t taking chances.When I arrived, the client was waiting eagerly by the gate, bundled against the chill. Their backyard was a picturesque challenge: a massive oak tree loomed overhead, its branches casting long shadows like a guardian testing my resolve. And to add to the fun, a light snowfall from the night before had blanketed everything in a pristine white layer, turning the yard into a hidden puzzle. “It happened right around here,” they said, pointing to a spot piled with leaves and snow. We chatted a bit about the ring’s sentimental value—years of love and memories wrapped in that simple band—and I could sense the mix of hope and worry in their voice.I flipped on my headlamp as the light faded, and we got to work. The detector beeped almost immediately on a couple of targets—false alarms, just bits of foil or nails teasing us. Undeterred, I circled back to the starting area, methodically sweeping the ground. Then, another signal: strong and steady. I knelt down, pulled out my pin-pointer, and gently brushed aside a fluff of snow. There, catching the beam of my light like a wink from fate, was a glint of white gold sparkle.“There it is!” I exclaimed, and in that instant, the client’s face lit up with a sound that’s music to any Ringfinder’s ears—a half-gasp of surprise melting into pure relief. We both laughed, the tension evaporating into the chilly air. The whole search? Just ten minutes. Those quick wins never get old; they’re like little gifts from the universe, reminding you why you do this. Sometimes recoveries are marathons, but when a sprint like this comes along, you savor it. As I handed over the ring, the client shook my hand warmly, their gratitude shining brighter than the band itself. “You have no idea what this means,” they said. And in that moment, I did—because helping people reclaim pieces of their story is what makes days like this truly magical. Thanks again to Darren for the pass; it’s folks like him that keep the good vibes circulating. Another happy ending in the books, proving that even under snow and shadows, lost things have a way of finding their way home.

Brook called me for help. She had been getting her beach materials ready to leave when with the flick of her wrist her ring was lost in the sand. She had searched diligently, yet was unable to find it. I was able to go to help, even though it was getting late.

When I arrived, it was dark, and we were the only ones on that lonely beach. She showed me the area where she had marked it, and in the light of my headlight, I was able to see where she had been searching. I began my search, and searched the whole area with no luck. She had never left the beach, so the ring had to still be there. It was time to expand the search, and about 10 feet away from the original area I got a good signal, dug, and had a very pretty ring in the scoop. I showed her and she was very happy because it had been given to her. When we walked up to the highway, I said I would walk her to her car. She told me she was going to call for an UBER, so because it was extremely dark there, and there are a lot of homeless in the area I let her know I would wait with her until the UBER came. Then she asked if I could take her to the Metro train depot in Santa Monica about 10 miles away, which I said I would be happy to do for her safety. Great smile!

It was late afternoon the day before Thanksgiving when Brad reached out about his lost wedding ring. He was visiting family and friends for the holiday and was spending the day with everyone at Zuma Beach in Malibu. They had been playing frisbee over about a hundred yard area when Brad suddenly realized he didn’t have his wedding ring anymore.

Wedding rinds are a big deal but this one was even bigger. This was his father’s wedding ring which had become his wedding ring upon his father’s passing. Two generations were lost somewhere on the beach and it was then he decided to reach out to the metal detective, Dave TheRingfinder.

We agreed to meet today, on Thanksgiving at 6am at Zuma Beach. It was still dark but light was beginning to edge it’s way into the day. Brad had set up way points on his phone to cover the area and I began to grid the beach. He was afraid he had lost it in the water but I assured him that if did I didn’t mind getting wet if that’s what it took to get it back. On the second pass in the grid I got a solid, clean tone on my Minelab Manticore and I sent my CKG scoop into the sand and dumped it outside the hole. It was still dark enough that I couldn’t really see anything so I scooped again and heard the tell-tale “clang” in the scoop and sure enough there was his ring.

Remember, time is of the essence when a loss occurs. Tides, shifting sands and other detectorists are possibly going to work against you. Don’t waste your time buying or renting a metal detector and trust the expert, Dave The RingFinder. Don’t hesitate to call or text Dave at 805-290-5009, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties metal detecting specialist. Beaches, shallow water, yards or fields, call Dave The RingFinder right away to get your jewelry back!
