I Phone lost in Lake Monroe, Florida…recovered by Central Florida ring finder.

The very best metal detecting service in Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…so call or text me anytime at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Nilesh was looking at some of the local wildlife along Lake Monroe here in Sanford, Florida and as he and his friends were admiring an alligator in the reeds…Nilesh felt some kind of bug land on his arm and he swatted at it causing him to drop his cell phone. Only his phone hit the concrete and bounced into the water below and disappeared. The water level is quite low this time of year so it is at least an 8 foot drop down to the water and then there is the water hyacinths and reeds and mud. It was getting late in the day when Nilesh called me and I opted to try and use my large Magnatar magnet but after an hour or so we decided to meet early the next morning so I could use my metal detector and do a proper search. I arrived the next morning with an extension ladder and poles to push the water hyacinths back so I could decend into the shallow murky water and 5 minutes later I got a good solid high signal on my Garrett ATMax metal detector and as I felt around with my scuba boot I could feel a flat smooth item the size of a cell phone and sure enough–there was Nilesh’s lost I phone.

It is always a pleasure helping find a lost item and being able to return it to it’s rightful owner! Call or text me if you have lost something and need help!

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 


Metal detecting service available to help you. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man . 949-500-2136,

*** Lost 4 silver rings near Califia Beach, San Clemente, CA. James contacted me after finding my phone number on a google search for metal detecting service.  We discussed his loss of 4 silver rings in the dry sand two days ago. He had put his 4 rings in his shoes near his beach towel. When he left the beach he just picked up his belongs and walked off the sand.

When he got to the street he checked his shoes for the rings and they were not in the shoes.

James had to work and could not meet me at the location. He marked up a google satellite view screen shot which was all I need to do a grid search.. The next morning I started where he had been sitting, no rings. Then I began a 6 grid line path to the street location where he realized the rings were missing. 60 to 70 yards away from where he had been sitting on the beach. All 4 of the rings were found in a two foot area..

I met James after he got off work to return his rings.. He was amazed that the metal detector was able to find small items. Also happy he didn’t have to miss a days work..

I can help you answer any question or search for your lost keepsake .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. Just call I will be glad to help you.. 949-500-2136

Man’s Wedding Band Launched from the 7th Floor Balcony Towards the Beach. Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Monday, May11, 2026, at 9:45 am, I got a call from Cory asking if I could help find his wedding band. I asked him when he lost it, whether in the water or soft sand, and if he was still in the area, He filled in the details for me, and I told him I could probably be there in an hour after I finished a couple of errands. I asked him to send me the address and that I’d text him when I was on my way. He text me the address of the hotel, I finished up my errands, and I text him that I was on my way.

When I arrived at about 10:40 am, I met Cory on the beach behind the hotel. I got a few more details on what happened and about where he lost his ring. Turns out, he lost it last night and there was a little alcohol involved, combined with a lover’s spat, and a heck of a throwing arm. He tossed the ring from the balcony on the 7th floor and said he thought it made it to the beach. He also said that he saw the beach cleaning truck go by about 5 am right over the area. The truck claws they drag in the sand usually don’t pick up rings but can pick up chains. I started an east west grid search from the hotel beach entrance and found nothing but bottle caps. I moved to inside the entrance and checked around the undergrowth and along the sand path. I finally hit a solid 10-11 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Cory said his ring was silver, so I was expecting a number in the low 20s. I was digging everything, so I dug the signal – Bingo!!! I picked the ring up, put it on just over my first knuckle and walked out to where Cory was. I held my finger up and asked, “Is this yours?” A huge smile appeared on his face, he said yes, I handed him his ring, and I got a big bear hug. Nothing beats returning someone’s treasure.

Cory and Nikki – I wish you all the best. Thanks for calling me!

Lost Eight Ring Stack at Waimanalo Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a call from Ola from Texas who told me her friend Ashley from Michigan lost an eight ring stack in the dry sand at Waimanalo Beach Park.  I checked Google Maps and told Ola I could be there n about 30 minutes.  When I arrived, Ola hailed me from the top of the beach sand berm which was in view from the parking lot.  Ashley explained that her 8 rings were in the pocket of her shorts and as they changed locations on the beach at some point they must have fallen out.  I had the two of them draw in the sand an area that would cover everywhere they had been.  Thankfully, the area was fairly small.  Ola suggested I start on the far end from where we were standing so fired up the Manticore and proceeded towards that area.  On the way, I got a solid tone and there was ring #1.  I heard another target and scooped ring #2.  Ashley was very happy but we had six more to go.  I continued on the grid and about ten feet away detector overload.  Rings #3 through #8 were all in a clump together.  I let Ashley & Ola retrieve them from the scoop.  Two very happy young ladies.  We had a few laughs and hugs and you can see their joy in the picture above.  Aloha to Ashley & Ola!

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Kailua Beach Park…FOUND!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a text from our fellow ring finder on Maui, Dave Sheldon saying a couple from Dallas Texas,  enjoying their 2nd Anniversary on Kailua Beach lost their Yellow Gold Wedding Band in the dry sand.  Shortly thereafter,  I got a call from Lauren who said her husband Daniel lost his ring in the dry sand.  I told her I could be there in about 30 minutes but parking would be chaotic.  When I arrived it took three full laps before a small car departed and there was just enough room for me to parallel park.  Daniel met me by the restroom, then walked me down to where the ring was lost.  Daniel had placed his ring in a “SHORE” ball cap without Lauren’s knowledge and when she put on the hat the ring flew out and disappeared into the soft sand.  They looked briefly but realized soon enough it was hopeless and contacted “The Ring Finders”  I started a grid search, first target a lead egg sinker.  Second target a dime.  Third target “gold ring” and the Anniversary is saved!  Aloha to Daniel & Lauren

3 Property Markers Found – Conway SC

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

I got a call from Terri on Thursday, May 7th asking if I could help find the property markers in her yard. We agreed to meet the next day on Friday. Unfortunately, Terri called me Friday and said something came up and she’d call me to reschedule. Today, Saturday, she called back and said she was available. Neither one of us had anything going on, so I jumped in the car and made the short trip.

When I arrived, I met Terri and Joe in the driveway, and they showed me the area of the front marker. They told me the first marker was directly off a sign posted on the side of the road. I turned on my Equinox, checked the area and got nothing. They were positive on the area, so I changed to my Gold Bug II detector. A few sweeps of the area and boom, I found the first marker. We moved to the back of the yard, and I lined up with the neighbor’sH fence and the first marker. Couple of swings and found the second one. Joe and I walked across the back of the yard to find a third marker. As we’re walking Joe mentioned that he had bought both lots, so we were looking for the back marker in the second lot. Luckily that marker had a white survey pole stuck in the ground just inside the wooded area. Bingo, all 3 markers found and marked.

Terri and Joe – Thank you for calling me to help find your markers.

Take care – Jim

Fob Door Key Lost in Laguna Beach Found with Metal Detecting Equipment

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 


I am available to meet you at the location of your lost item call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man.. 949-500-2136 .. We can discuss the process of searching for your keepsake using a metal detector .


*** Bryce and his friends were at Cresent Cove in Laguna Beach, CA.  He had part of key that is removable from the vehicle key fob. Some how it dropped in the sand near where he was sitting in the sand.  It was less than 1/2 inch long and it difficult to find in the fine grain sand.

He called his mother to see if she had a spare key. His mother did not have a spare.

She did call me asking if I was available and if this was something I could find with a metal detector. After assuring her that my detecting equipment can find small metal objects. I agreed to drive to Cresent Cove which is five miles from my location.

Bryce met me on the crowded beach. He had cleared a 20 ft square area where he believed the small piece of key should be. Fifteen minutes later, after falling through my sand scoop several times, the key showed up. Bryce was relieved and surprised that the metal detector found the small piece of key where they had spent hours searching by hand.

Lost wedding band recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:
This past weekend I received a call from Kyle after he found my information on theringfinders.com. He had lost his 18 kt gold wedding band while throwing the ball for his dog Moose. He had seen the ring go flying and even seen where it bounced off the concrete patio. He raked the yard, spent time on his hands and knees and even purchased a pinpointer from a large on-line retailer. But his attempts to find the ring were fruitless.
Stephanie Hobbs and I were at his house within an hour of taking his call. We scoured the yard with our detectors, searching some of the area multiple times. Stephanie asked Kyle if he knew his neighbors, thinking that the ring may have flow over or through the fence. He did not know the neighbors well and it appeared they may not be home anyway. Then Stephaie asked if he had a ladder so that we could look over the fence, he only had a stepstool. Due to the lack of height in Stephanie I had to get on the stepstool to peer over the fence. Within a few seconds I spotted the ring laying in the mulch on the neighbor’s side of the fence. I got down off the stepstool and reached under the fence as Kyle guided me, I pulled a hand full of mulch to our side of the fence. That is when Stephanie used her pinpointer to locate the ring. TEAM WORK was the word for the day.
Ring Recovered 2026-05-02

Kyle’s 18 KT gold ring

A happy customer

Lost gold engagement ring with beautiful diamond in Longview, WA. – FOUND!

  • from Vancouver (Washington, United States)
Contact:

     

Early Sunday morning, I got a call from Connor in Longview, Washington. His wife had lost her wedding ring, and he was hoping I could help track it down.

A couple of days earlier, the two of them had been tossing a football in their front yard when, mid-throw, his wife saw her diamond ring slip off her finger. She watched it catch the light as it sailed through the air before disappearing somewhere in the lawn. Over the next few days, Connor, his wife, and a group of friends searched tirelessly—on their hands and knees, combing through the grass. They even sectioned off the area they believed it landed in and carefully cut the lawn down to the dirt with scissors. When that didn’t work, they bought a metal detector, only to discover it wasn’t as straightforward as they’d hoped.

The yard presented a unique challenge. The ring had been lost near pad-mounted electrical transformer boxes, and the property sat beneath overhead power lines. Between the underground conduit and the electrical interference from above, the detector constantly gave false signals. Thinking the issue might be the equipment, they upgraded to a better model—but the results were the same.

That’s when they found me on RingFinders.

We scheduled a visit for later that day, and my wife, my 10-year-old daughter, and I made the trip out. We began by gridding off the front yard and doing a careful sweep. I adjusted my detector settings several times to compensate for the electrical interference. After covering the most likely areas, I noticed an old project pickup truck sitting near where they had been playing. It had no engine and looked like it hadn’t moved in quite some time.

I asked Connor if we could shift it. He hooked up some tow straps and pulled it forward about 15 feet, giving us access to the ground beneath. Earlier, my wife had tried reaching under it with a pinpointer, but the truck’s metal frame had made it impossible to get a clear signal.

Once the truck was out of the way, I made a few passes over the patch of overgrown grass where it had been sitting. Then—BOOM. A strong, clean signal, shallow and right in the gold range. I bent down, lifted a clump of dried grass—likely tossed there when they had hand cut the lawn with scissors—and there it was. The ring, nestled at the bottom.

I handed it to my wife, who presented it to Connor just as he was finishing parking the truck. The look on his face said everything—pure relief and joy. He was incredibly generous and later left us a kind review that we’ve since added to our testimonials.

As we drove home, I thought about something my daughter had done before we left for Longview on our ring find—she had prayed that we’d find the ring. Well, prayer answered! 🙏
