When you lose something that can be found with a metal detector Call or Text .. Stan The Metal Detector Man.., 949-500-2136


*** Melani was at Newport Beach escaping the heat of Chino Hills, CA. She lost her gold necklace with two  interlocking Cartier Love Rings  and an identical gold chain bracelet with two interlocking Cartier love rings. She had laid them on her towel and forgot when she picked up everything  to leave the beach.

She called me the next morning. Giving me some GPS co-ordinates. It was already too late to beat the beach sifting machines, so our best chances of finding the jewelry was that she had been closer to the water than the machines generally work.

When I arrived at  the GPS pin location there were definite signs that the sifting machines already past over the area. I didn’t want to give up without trying. I began my grid search, overlapping on the part of the beach where the machine had not passed. BOOM! All the jewelry was found, less than two feet from where the sifting machine had worked. Also the GPS pin mark was about 15 ft. from where the gold was found.

Melani had planned on meeting me on the beach to show me the general location of the loss, but I was there to meet her with the very sentimental keepsakes that mean so much to her.

Lost White Gold Ring Found in the Grass in Ann Arbor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Spooky Gold….

…’Twas the night of all hallows eve when Dan gathered his brood dressed to ward off ghosts and headed to a vacant piece of land where they and some neighbors were hoping for a spooktacular evening next to a bonfire and meeting new people trick or treating. Sipping on some beverages and handing out candy the evening was going well until Dan noticed his ring missing. Now in the darkness he searched frantically and even with having quite a few children help it was not found. He wondered where it could have gone to, having been standing in the same spot all evening thinking…. did it fall off into someone’s candy bag? Did a real ghost or goblin take it? Selling his soul to the devil to find out wasn’t an option. He even bought a magic wand (toy type metal detector) hoping for some luck but to no avail. I arrived the next day and under dark ominous skies began grid searching the small area with my MXT metal detector. A few signals came up as 6.66 inches deep on the detector’s depth meter, but I knew these were false reads trying to trick me into believing it was the ring. Those signals were no match for the MXT metal detector, because a few sweeps later I got a great signal. Reaching down thru the trampled grass revealed Dan’s ring! He was thrilled that it was recovered and loved my metal detector. He asked how did I find his ring so fast? I said nothing spooks louder than having the right tool for the job, but the devil in me really made me do it!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned in Ambler, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Mike contacted me after losing his gold wedding band in his backyard in Ambler, PA. He was about to start making meatballs for dinner so he took his ring off and put it in his pocket. He finished the meatballs and went into backyard to kick around a soccer ball with his son. He noticed his band was no longer in his pocket after re-entering his house. Total time between putting his ring in his pocket and noticing it missing was less then an hour! Clearly must have fallen out while kicking the soccer ball in backyard…he spent hours looking and raking the backyard but no luck. He found me in the Ring Finders directory…and I met him 2 days later. He took me into his backyard and showed me where he was playing soccer with his son. Like I always do I started grid searching very methodically…starting at one end and working toward the other. 10 minutes later, I was in the exact middle of the “soccer field” when I finally got the signal I was looking for…the grass was a little high and there were quiet a few leaves but I still immediately saw his white gold wedding band gleaming up at me! I was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

 

White Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned in Willow Grove, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Received a text from Edward after he found me in The Ring Finders directory. He was raking and bagging leaves at his home in the Willow Grove, PA area when he noticed his ring had fallen off. He searched for hours and even purchased a metal detector to try to find the ring himself….but no luck. He decided to consult with an expert and i promptly met him at his home the next day. I told him on the phone the day before to not throw away any of the bags of leaves that he collected. When i got there…I noticed that he poured the contents of all the leaf bags into one large pile….but he said he and his wife went through it all already. I turned my machine on….after 2 or 3 swings over the leaf pile…I received a signal in my headphones that was an obvious surface gold ring! Bent down with my pin pointer and after a total search time of 1 minute I picked up his ring! He couldn’t believe it but the relief on his face was priceless!

 

Lost Gold Pendant in Public Park-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)

I got a text from Jae late Thursday evening and she said she had lost her gold pendant in a local public park.  She and her friend had looked all evening until around midnight that night.  The pendant was made from the engagement ring her grandfather had given her grandmother in 1942. So it was very sentimental to her and all she had left of her grandparents.  The grass in that area was pretty deep, so finding it by sight was nearly impossible.  I got there by around noon the next day on Friday.  She had the area marked where she noticed the broken necklace.  I had marked out a block for my search that was about 75 feet by 50 feet.  That search area bordered a sidewalk on one side.  Being a public park I assumed the ground there would be very contaminated with metallic trash and other items, and it did not dissapoint.  Fortunately, with the Manticore metal detector I was able to differentiate between what was on the surface and what was deeper.  That still lengthens the search time because every target has to be inspected before moving on.  I completed the grid search in the block I had marked out and found nothing except pull tabs and a nickle.  So I moved down a little and marked out another block, this one a little smaller.  About halfway through that search area I was about 12 feet from the sidewalk and I got a 41 on the Manticore that was on the surface.  The grass there was about 3 inches deep so I pulled out my pinpointer to locate whatever it was.  The pendant was there, completely covered with grass and was not visible to the eye.  My total search time was about 2 hours.

 

Sprinkler Solenoid Valve Found Carolina Shores NC

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

I got a call last Wednesday from a repeat customer asking if I could help him find a sprinkler solenoid valve in his yard. We agreed that I’d meet him today, Thursday, Oct 29th. When I arrived, Jim was waiting for me in the yard. He showed me the suspected area where the solenoid was buried. He told me that he had had some landscaping done and the protective boxes had been covered up with dirt and rocks. When I turned on my Equinox 800, I was getting all kinds of EMI (electromagnetic interference), so I turned down the sensitivity. Luckily, Jim had another solenoid that he had already found that I used to test. I knew I was looking for negative numbers and probably in the -4 to -5 range on the VDI. The valves are mainly plastic with very little metal (basically screws, a spring, and some copper wire) in them. When I ran the coil over the exposed solenoid, I wasn’t getting much of a signal. I cranked the sensitivity back up to 25 (max) and was able to get enough of a signal I could distinguish the signal from the interference. After checking a different signal that turned out to be nothing, I swung over an area more into the bushes. I got the low grunt sound and the numbers I was looking for. Jim started digging and after a few inches of dirt and rocks, he spotted the cover protecting the solenoid.  We found exactly what he was looking for. Jim for holding on to my number and giving me a call. So glad I could help.

Jim -Thanks, for holding on to my number and giving me a call!

Father’s gold ring recovered!

  • from Eau Claire (Wisconsin, United States)

Received a call today from a gentleman who lost his father’s gold ring while raking leaves.  The ring has both intrinsic and sentimental value.  Fortunately he had a pretty good idea where it was lost limiting the search area rather than the entire lawn.  It only took about 10 minutes to find it, making us both happy.

Lost Grandfathers Ring in Concrete Mix

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a gentleman who was mixing concrete for a row of 2 X 2 Steps.  He was making about 20 steps for a customers’ walkway.  In the process, due to some recent weight loss, his treasured ring which his Grandfather had worn his entire life and then passed on to our him disappeared.  Short story, he had the ring on, made 20 concrete steps and 2 hours later when finished the ring was gone.

He was pretty sure it was in the 3rd step as a bag of quikCrete had burst open and he had scooped concrete with his hands.  Upon arrival with our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors we began scanning each step.  Few normal beeps and noises until I reached the 1st step.  It was not a normal Gold Signal but it was extremely strong.  I told the customer, I’m not sure it’s your ring but there’s definitely something there.

He said OK and picked up the 2X2 step and threw it on the ground breaking it into pieces, then he yelled “There it Is”. He did a little dance in the yard, gave us a big hug and told us we made his year.

This hobby/business is so much fun…

Lost – Men’s White Gold, Diamond Wedding Ring, Oviedo, Florida – FOUND!!

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)

I received a call from Neil after he called theringfinders.com.  He was distraught after losing his white gold diamond wedding ring. As I was leaving the beach in Daytona, I told him I could be at his home in about two hours after a quick stop at mine. I prayed earnestly for guidance to help me find his ring.

When I arrived at Neil’s home in Oviedo, he took me to his front yard and explained that he had been playing with a dog when the ring went missing. He had checked his doorbell camera, which showed the ring at one point, but later, when he noticed it was gone, he was heartbroken—especially after fifteen years of wearing it.

I powered up my Minelab Manticore and began my search, covering the front yard and some hedges near the porch. I found several targets typical for a residential area, despite my efforts, the ring eluded me. After an hour of searching, I decided to switch to a smaller coil to navigate tighter spots and minimize background noise.

Starting at the edge of the grass by the driveway, I made my way to the sidewalk. Suddenly, I got a strong signal right at the sidewalk’s edge! As I set down my pinpointer, it sounded off, and to my amazement, a beautiful diamond ring rolled out from beneath a clump of grass, glimmering in the sunlight.

Neil was checking his phone for footage from the door camera when I held the ring up between us, saying, “I have a few more questions…” He looked up just in time to see the ring shining in my hand. His eyes widened in disbelief, and joy flooded his expression as I handed it back to him.

I FOUND Joel’s LOST GOLD Wedding Ring with my metal detector.

  • from Kerrville (Texas, United States)

Joel called and said he believed he lost his family heirloom gold wedding ring while removing leaves from his yard. He said he got my phone number from theringfinders.com. I told him not to disturb the leaves that he bagged and do not rake any more leaves. I drove the 90 miles from Kerrville to Joel’s house in New Braunfels, Texas. Within 10 minutes I had recovered Joel’s ring slightly buried in the earth below a pile of leaves. Joel was ecstatic to have his ring back. Joel said he thought about renting or buying a metal detector but realized he wouldn’t know how to properly use it. Smart man Joel! Leave it to the experts, contact theringfinders.com when you lose you precious items.
