Peter was sitting on the beach in Ocean City, NJ when he decided to take his wedding band off and place it in the cup holder of his beach chair. He packed up his belongings later in the day, forgetting that the ring was still in the cup holder. He realized it was missing after he got home and gave me a call. Shortly after a quick grid search with my metal detector, I got the signal for the white gold wedding band and it was back on finger in no time.

I was told in Chinese culture a lost wedding ring before the person gets married is bad luck, but not if it’s found! I was called out by a couple who lost a ring the night before, I met with them at the beach and they show me the approximate location it was lost. After asking my typical questions I began my search and within 10 minutes found a beautiful golden diamond ring. If in their culture a lost ring is bad luck then a found ring must be good luck… I was so happy to be able to find her ring for them and see the smiles on their face even though his wife was wearing a mask I could tell there was a big smile underneath that mask.
On a sidenote just minutes after I found a ring a metal detectors came walking on the beach in the same direction where I found the ring. Timing in life is everything, I’m so happy the timing worked out today!

I have the best job in the world, I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what their ring means to them, and I get to see how happy they are when I find it…
I got a call from Andreas at about 10:30 on Friday. He said that his wife had lost her ring in Southern Shores on the beach. I asked him if he thought it was in the water. He replied that it should be in dry sand. I told him that these things normally work out best the sooner we can search and that I could be there in about 10 minutes. He agreed.
When I arrived I met Crystal and Andreas. Crystal explained that the ring was in a pocket, and it came up missing yesterday. I asked her to describe the ring. She said it is a platinum ring with a single blue sapphire. She said she thought it was lost on the beach, but it could be anywhere from the house to beach, which is where she noticed it was gone.
As we cleared the dune crosswalk, I fired up the XP detector. I told her that I like to scan as I’m going to the suspected area just in case. I asked Crystal where the tent was the day before and the path, she took to get to it. I followed her lead as she took me to where the cabana was.
I started the sweep in the area on the water side as I normally do. I took my hat off and ask for the Lord’s help. I put my hat on and immediately got a big signal. The ring was in the scoop!
I carefully put it in my hand and held it up to show Crystal. She put it on her finger and fell to the sand. She was overcome with tears of joy!!

Mark and Pam have a history of capturing memories of their vacations in Ocean City, NJ by having family portraits taken on the beach. This photo shoot was extra special because the couple is celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary this month. During one of the shots, their rings were placed in the sand near the water’s edge. Unexpectedly, a wave came rushing up out of nowhere, and all three rings were washed into the ocean. Mark reached out to me the day after the rings were lost, and I met him and the rest of the family on the beach. We took some time to figure out where they could be, and then I began to search. I started in the wet sand and worked my way out into the ocean. I got my first signal in knee-deep water. It was Pam’s wedding band! A few feet away, the metal detector went over the second ring, her engagement ring. The third signal was another few feet away. I pulled up
the scoop and was ecstatic to see Mark’s wedding band. It truly was a picture perfect ending and a memory I’m sure they’ll never forget.

Every call for help in finding a lost ring is just as important as the ones before it or the many coming after it. Each ring has its own story, whether it was passed down from a family member, something someone worked hard for to achieve, or the love of their life slipped it on their finger. Although, all of the rings are very important, once in a while you get the call for something very special that grabs at your heart strings. This was exactly the case for me on this call. Ron called me close to 11 pm on Thursday, June 30th clearly devastated that he had lost his father’s custom-made yellow gold Free Mason’s ring. He told me the ring was specially designed and made for his father by another Free Mason, who was both a friend and a jeweler. Ron’s father has since passed away and this special ring now belongs to Ron. I found out from Ron that he was wearing the ring while throwing a football in the ocean. My first question was if he was right or left-handed, he responded right-handed. My second question was which hand was the ring on. Again, his response was on his right hand. My next questions were what day, time, and how deep was he in the water. His response was that he lost it on Tuesday, around lunch time, and he was about thigh deep. During our text messages he changed the day to Monday. We exchanged other information and I could tell Ron was having a difficult time talking about losing the ring. I found out that he and his family was leaving the next morning. I closed our conversation by asking him to take pictures of the area and send them to me the next morning. After thinking about it, I texted him back and asked him if he could meet me on the beach the next morning at 9 am, he agreed. By meeting him, I could get a firsthand view without having to decipher some pictures.
The next morning, we met as scheduled and he pointed out the area. I don’t remember if it was during our texting the night before or he told me when we met that he actually lost it on Sunday, which was 5 days ago. As we’re talking about additional details, I asked him whether he was facing north or south when he was throwing the football and he responded he was facing east, meaning he was facing seaward. In my mind, I’m thinking this is going to be a tough, if not an impossible search. If he was facing seaward, throwing the ball with the same hand the ring was on and it was 5 days ago, it’s difficult to imagine where his ring ended up. But I love a good challenge, so I told him I’d be back around 2 pm to work the outgoing tide with low tide being at 3:48 pm.
As I’m loading up the car with my detector, the sky opened up and it started pouring rain. No problem, I’m going to get wet anyway, as long as there’s no lightening – I’m good. By the time I got to the beach and the search area, the rain had stopped. No rainbows, but I did get a report of a waterspout less than 5 miles up the beach. I swear, the Big Man upstairs was testing me that day! I started on the line Ron had given me earlier that morning. I started my grid line from the mid tide line and walked out to waist/chest deep water working my way to the south. I’m not sure how far south I went but I was sure I was outside of Ron’s area. I went back to my starting point and started working the grid search north. I did about 10 lines and got a solid hit on my White’s PI. The PI is a great machine, but it has no discrimination, nor does it show any target depth, it just signals there’s some sort of metal underneath the coil. I had already picked up a couple of pull tabs, a few bottle caps and 4 fishing weights, so I figured this was one more piece of junk. A couple of scoop and I had the target out of the hole. I took my foot and spread the sand out, I looked down and saw the Free Mason diamond symbol staring at me. Boom! I just stood there and stared; I couldn’t believe it. What a beautiful ring! I picked it up and walked back to the car to get my phone and take a couple of pictures. I sent a picture of me holding the ring and the ring sitting in the sand to Ron saying, “look familiar?” As I’m driving home, I called him and left a message when he didn’t answer saying “check your text messages and call me.” I figured he was still on the highway driving home. Within a few minutes he called me back and he was so excited he couldn’t talk. I wish I would have been able to hand his ring to him and see his expression, but I’m sure it was one of pure elation and surprise. I’ll get his ring in the mail Tuesday and wait for his picture to post this.
Ron – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your lost treasure, I was so excited to find it for you. Best Wishes!!!

Well, this was our 2nd attempt to find this $5,400 Platinum Ring with Diamonds. The owner had called and explained that the motor on his small 12-foot boat quit on him just 2 docks from his home. His boat was still slowly moving in the water while he attempted to restart the engine and after several hard pulls on the start cord (with no luck) his anger increased. He jerked the starting cord one last time and as he did he felt his ring fly off into the water. He felt he knew exactly where the ring went down but after an exhaustive water search with both our Garrett ATPro and our Excalibur II in the deeper water area(s) we cleared every signal with no luck. We scanned every area 4 to 5 times.
The only thing we can say is that possibly we were in the wrong location(?). With the boat moving and the anger seeping in along with the strength of the last jerk on the cord, that ring could be anywhere in a 50ft by 300ft area in black water.
I believe when we go back, and we will go back, we will extensively widen out our search area… it’s got to be there…we will find it.
We do not always win but we will give our all to every search.

We got a call early this morning from a gentleman who said that his father-in-law passed away recently. His father-in-law was a serious Prepper, he was heavily fortified and heavily stocked in every area of life. He said 6 or 7 years ago he had shown he and his wife a Google Earth photo showing where he had buried Multiple Boxes of 500 coins each and many packages of 100 silver coins in plastic ammo containers.
He and his family had spent 8-10 hours digging in the known places and discovered many boxes of silver everything from 6 inches to 36 inches in depth. They were exhausted and needed help. They rented a metal detector but it did not work well for them so they went searching and found the Dallas Ring Finders.
Ellen and I drove out as soon as we got the call. It was 161 miles one way
to reach the location. We reached the home, met the family and were shown around the property and shown the 4 potential locations of the Silver coins. Just want to say it was 103 degrees today. We went to work with our Garrett ATPro metal detectors and Pinpointers.
The ground was really just pure sand, very easy to dig. We were able to scan the boxes of Silver that they had found the day before to get our search signals and searched for 3 hours, digging dozens of holes. The challenge was there was so much metal debris all over the search areas… (NOTE: history tells us that people who buried things sometimes scatter scrap metal all over their buried items to discourage metal detectorists from digging).
I am not going to disclose what we found but we may be returning for further digging and possibly bring a small backhoe to take off the top 2-3 feet of soil to make it a little easier to detect.
Suggestion, if you or someone in your family buries things on their property, please, please, please make a map or show someone where your items are so that everything can be recovered when you’re gone.
Awesome day helping a family who was completely overwhelmed.

Ryan placed his wedding band in a beach bag for safekeeping while on the beach in Avalon, NJ. When he went to look for it, he found a hole in the bag instead. He reached out to me the day after it was lost and I met him in the area to start the search. After a quick grid search of the sand with the metal detector, it was found!

All was WELL and Good…….
…..until Dave could not locate the outside shut off valve to the well water supply. Although the subdivision went on city water, he still wanted the well supply for watering the garden, plants, ect. and needed to shut the supply off to change the piping around. Turning on my Tesoro Sidewinder metal detector in all metal mode I started to search for the valve. An increase in the threshold sound was convincing enough to dig. Pushing the shovel into the ground and removing a few scoops revealed the cap that sealed the metal tube to the valve deep below the ground. Using a long T bar, we turned the valve until it was shut. Instead of saying “O Well” and walking away, he was thrilled that he called me to help him. All’s WELL that ends well we said, as Dave feels this project is now just water under the bridge!
