Gold Ring lost in Hayward, CA…Recovered!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

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

Our first ring recovery of 2025 came while I was providing First Aid support for a Cub Scout knife safety/whittling class for our Pack.  I had received a call for assistance in Hayward, CA to locate a yellow gold chain ring lost in tall grass along a trail.  I informed them that I was committed for another two hours but would head their direction shortly thereafter.  I had them text me an address and informed them I would let them know when I was on my way and again when I was 10 minutes out.

My two older boys would accompany me to provide assistance and loaded their detector as we made for the location.  It took just under an hour to reach the site and a short 3 minute walk put us in the target area.  I provided some orange soccer cones for them to define the search area as I prepared our detectors. I was excited when my oldest boy got a promising hit on his Vanquish 540.  Upon further inspection it was found to be spectacle frames for a pair of glasses.  Moments later, I got a great signal on the 800 (12-14) and when pinpointed…we had made the recovery!!!

It was a beautiful day and I had almost wished it took a bit longer to locate while spending time with the boys among the tall Kelly green grass of the East Bay hills.

2nd time was the charm! Gold ring lost in the snow – found in Indiana, PA by metal detecting specialist Brian Carpenter

I was contacted by Justin who lost his ring while walking his dog in the cold and snow. Justin lived locally but we were having a tough time getting together. Because it was an apartment complex I wanted to get over there and search as soon as possible to try and make sure I/we were the ones who found it. I got held up and by the time I was able to get to Justin’s place he had returned to work so I talked with his girlfriend who pointed to two general locations where he walks the dog. I searched both places a small patch of grass on the corner and a larger patch on the backside of the complex. I looked for a long time with no luck and decided to give up as it was cold and snowy. I told Justin I did not have any luck but I would come back over since it was so close.

It took a week and a half or so before Justin and I could meet back up. Actually I was on my way to his place when he got called back into work. Luckily I was able to get there before he had to go. Justin took me back and showed me a more specific area to search which was not part of my initial search. Prior to going over I had strapped on my small coil to look for the ring as the areas I had searched before were pretty small. However this time, the area Justin pointed out was a lot bigger. I was kicking myself for not bringing my larger coil but because I was so close and had been there before I did not pack it. The thought went through my mind that I should go back to the house for it but I decided to go for it with my small coil and come back out again with the large one if I needed to. It was about 15 – 20 mins of searching the field I located the ring laying on the top of the grass where the snow had melted.

Justin was at work so I sent him a text and he was very happy. We arranged a time for me to meet up with him after work and return the ring. It was a pleasure to meet and help out another kind and generous client. I was also reminded that it is always best to talk to the person who had the loss when possible (I might have found it my first time out) and to take all my equipment no matter how close.

As a side note – the young lady who I had looked for her ring in Plum, PA sent me a text that the ring had been recovered after all the snow melted. I also had another potential customer in West Mifflin, PA text me that he found his ring. Unfortunately I had not been able to make it out as quickly as we would have liked for the search. It is great that all of these rings have been recovered either by myself or the owners and I thank them for updating me. This mean that all the rings that I have been called about for 2025 have been recovered to date – awesome!

Here is a short review by Abhi and what all transpired with his wife’s lost diamond earring! Abhi writes, “I am beyond thrilled that we met Mike! What a pleasure and blessing it was to work with him. My wife lost one of her treasured diamond earrings a few weeks ago going back and forth between our kids rooms at night as they were not feeling well. There was a lot of tossing and turning! She took her earrings out, placed them on the night stand and a few days later only found one of them there! After extensively and exhaustively searching our home, we decided we needed some professional help. Mike came to our house and was incredibly patient and thorough, asking amazingly detailed and thoughtful questions. He was looking EVERYWHERE! Even diligently taking tissues out of the trash bin, one by one, to make sure no stone was unturned! We ended up finding the lost diamond earring underneath a rocking chair cushion tucked all the way in the back corner which was only seen due to the large industrial flashlight he was carrying. He was amazingly sincere, patient and ultimately got the job done. Thank you Mike!”

How I thank God for allowing me the wonderful opportunity to help Abhi and his dear wife!

Lost Ring Found in Gambier, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)

Shortly before the holiday break, I received a call from Dottie (from Massachusetts) who found me on the Ring Finders website. She explained that her daughter had just called her from college (in Ohio) and was pretty upset. Her daughter was on her way to class when she slipped in the snow and lost her Signet ring! It was a very special ring and Dottie hoped I could help. We made arrangements to meet her daughter Stephanie on campus an hour later. When we arrived, Stephanie and her friends described what had happened and showed us where she lost the ring. We turned on our detectors to get to work and BEEP, BEEP!! First swing of the coil and there it was! Stephanie and her friends couldn’t believe we found it so fast! We took a few pics and messaged Dottie. Everyone was happy! The whole thing took less than a minute, but that feeling lasts forever!

I received a call from Michelle asking for help in searching her burned home, We agreed on a day to conduct the search.

When I arrived I could see the home was completely gutted. Michelle and her husband David met me, and explained that they, some fire fighters, and their friends had searched the site, and recovered most of what they were looking for with the exception of a few items. I began looking for one of the items, and then Michelle asked if I would redirect my attention to another area of the house where she had lost something of great sentimental value to her. It was a small bronze sculpture of the mythological Greek Goddess Athena’s helmet that she had had for many years that was associated with someone she admired. The previous searches turned up the head dress of the helmet, but not the helmet. She showed where it had been, so I began my search. After about 30 minutes of searching, a little rounded object no bigger than a tennis ball came out of the rubble. I picked it up, it was heavy, and formed. I turned it around and saw the shape, then called out to Michelle who got very excited that this memory was still intact. So very happy to be of help.

Chris contacted me about searching his home that had burned during the Eton/Altadena fire, we made arrangements to do the search.

When I arrived Chris and his wife Laura met me at our arranged meeting point, and they took me to their property. Driving through the area just makes my heart sink knowing how all of these people lost everything they had worked so hard for so rapidly. When we arrived they told me that the home was searched already by a Samaritan’s Purse team, but the wanted a more thorough search to insure everything that could be found was found. I searched 3 different areas, and was able to find 5 lumps of melted silver, one of Chris’ hand planes, a decorative anchor, and 5 small pieces of gold including a partial chain, and fully intact earring with gem. They were happy I was able to help, and I was thankful to be able to help as well.

Lost Wedding Ring Found at Carpinteria State Beach

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, pendant, or bracelet in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach, don’t waste time or money on a metal detector rental. Instead, contact Dave The Ring Finder, a proud member of The Ring Finders network, at 805-290-5009 (call or text). I specialize in recovering lost jewelry fast, so you can get back to enjoying your day!
Today, I received an urgent text from Mike, who had been camping and playing football at Carpinteria State Beach. While diving for a catch, his ring slipped off—stripped from his finger in a one-in-a-million moment. He wasn’t sure of the exact spot, but we narrowed it down to a 20×20-foot area of sand. I grabbed my gear and got to work.
The challenge? The beach was littered with bottle caps, pull tabs, and melted aluminum scraps. My Minelab Manticore was picking up a symphony of signals, making it impossible to zero in on the ring’s tone without digging every target. With so much metal trash, I couldn’t risk the ring being masked, so I committed to clearing the area scoop by scoop.
After 40 minutes and about 40 dug targets, doubt started creeping in. Had we misjudged the spot? I expanded the search slightly, and within a minute, I hit a solid 50-51 tone—a promising sign. I plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, gave it a few shakes, and there it was: Mike’s lost ring gleaming in the sunlight!
What started as a tougher-than-expected hunt ended in success. Losing a ring in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach doesn’t have to ruin your trip—Dave The Ring Finder has you covered. Call or text 805-290-5009 today, and let me reunite you with your lost treasure!

 

Lost woman’s rings found in Burleson, TX.

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)

Received a call from John he said his fiancé had thrown her rings in the backyard field and he wanted to recover them before he made an insurance claim. I agreed to meet him on January 31, 2025 and search for the lost rings. I arrived as scheduled and started my search of the large field. I started to my right side and my first pass was about 75’ long  then moved over and searched back 75’. I continued for about an hour and had made about 5 passes 75’ deep by about 50’ wide. At about 1 hour and 10 minutes I found a small gold ring and figured the other one should be close by. About 5 minutes later I found the ring he was looking for. John was glad and  I was happy I was able to locate your ring. Thank you for the reward John!!!
