IPhone lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

I got a call from Cassidy just before noon saying she had lost her phone last night around midnight. She said she lost it in the dry sand, plus some other details. She gave me the address, and I told her I’d be there in about 20-30 minutes. Grabbed my gear and was on my way. When she originally called, she said she was in Myrtle Beach. Since North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach are two separate cities having the same names, it makes it tough sometimes for tourist to distinguish between the two. Cassidy told me she was around a local pub, so I knew I was headed to North Myrtle Beach.

When I arrived at the beach, it was packed with people and a heat index of over 100 degrees. I met Cassidy and she showed me the area where she was sure she lost her phone. I really thought the IPhone would be on top of the sand as it’s too big to disappear in the sand like a ring would. I did the best I could, weaving in and out of the beach goers without disturbing them too much. Cassidy was talking to one of the beach chair rental guys and he asked me if I needed him to move people. Although I’ve done that in the past, I normally just keep working the area until they get the hint and volunteer to move. He walked up to 2 separate couples and got them to move their belongings and chairs, but I still had to contend with the umbrellas. I cleared the first area and as I was working the second area, I got the unmistakable signal of a cell phone. I gently stuck my scoop behind the target, so I wouldn’t damage it, and lifted the sand out of the hole. As soon as I did, out popped her IPhone. As I turned it over to see the brightly colored case, she came running. She was so excited and thankful.

Cassidy – Thank you for allowing me to help find your IPhone

Family Ring Recovered Atlantic Highlands

Contact:

While at work I got a text from Katie asking for help in finding her grandfather’s ring lost in her backyard. Told her I’d come out after work to help. It seems her husband Homer was wearing the ring while gardening and it flew off his finger while tossing weeds he pulled. I turned on my detector and it was going crazy with interference from somewhere. I lowered the sensitivity to the lowest I could go but it really didnt help. After looking for awhile with no luck I was getting frustrated so I called my buddy Matty St Germain asking if he had any ideas that would help. He told me I had to turn the sensitivity back up to where I usually have it and deal with the interference and listen for carefully for signals. I did but still no luck in the area Homer thought the ring should be. I decided to detect outside the area and about 10 feet off to the side I got a good signal and looking down there was Katie’s grandfather’s ring in the tall grass. I turned off the detector and walked towards Katie saying the interference was to bad and the look of disappointment changed quickly to joy when I showed her the ring in my hand. A great feeling giving back something so special.

Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

I got a call just after 3 p.m. today from Nate asking if I could help find his wedding ring. I had just finished up my yard work, so I was hot, sweaty and dirty. I agreed to be there in about 20 minutes and apologized for what my appearance would be. I asked him about what time he lost it and if he was in the water. He said he lost it about 1:15 or so and they were in ankle deep. Great news because we were in an outgoing tide, so by the time I got there, the ring should be buried in the wet sand.

When I got to the hotel, I met Nate in the parking garage. We walked out to the area he lost his ring. He explained that he was playing catch with a football and his ring slipped off his finger. The good part was he’s right-handed, so the ring didn’t get thrown off. He showed me the area; I confirmed the type of ring and went to work on my grid search. I didn’t get too far and as I made my turn, I asked him if I had gone far enough on that grid line. He had me extend my line by a few feet and when I took a couple more steps, I got a solid 13 on my detector. A small man’s gold ring can ring up at 13, but so does a pull tab and a nickel. This particular target was a nickel, so I kept going. A foot away I got a signal reading 20-21, 95% of the time this will be a penny. Thinking it was a penny and that I had come across a coin drop of numerous coins, I didn’t dig it up. Mistake!!! After gridding a couple more lines and thinking about the “Penny”, I asked Nate about the size of his ring. In my experience a man’s thick heavy gold ring could ring up in the high teens. Just so there was no doubt in my mind, I went back to the signal and took a scoop of sand. As I pulled the scoop out of the hole, I saw the shimmer of yellow gold in the sand on the side of the hole. I don’t know if Nate saw it, but I reached down and pulled the ring out of the sand. Nate, with no hesitation confirmed it was his ring. This was a lesson learned for me. Nate was so relieved he had his beautiful wedding band back where it belonged.

Nate – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and all the rewards of being a new father. Happy Father’s Day!!

Lost – Silver Spanish Coin Relic Pendant, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

I was just leaving the beach when I got a call from a good friend.  He had a recovery that he couldn’t do because he was traveling.  I pulled over and ask God to help me find the item.  Minutes later, I got a call from Bill.  He said his son, Tanner, had lost a silver Spanish coin pendant while wrestling with a friend in the surf.

I met Bill and his wife Renee about 15 minutes later at the scene of the crime.  We prayed on the beach to find the missing treasure.  Another detectorist, who just happened to be there, and I made pass after pass in the incoming water. (That I was not set up or dressed for).  After some time of fighting the water, we decided to let the incoming tide pass and come back a few hours before low tide.

When I arrived, I knelt and prayed.  The conditions were much better, and I was set up for a water search if need be.  I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began gridding while Bill used a Nakta Triple Score.  The entire family came with Bill this time, so I asked Tanner a barrage of questions about the location he lost it.  He was quite sure about the place where it fell, so I decided to grid perpendicular to my first search, in the same area.

A little more that half-way through the grid I got a great hit and I suspected it was the pendant.  I dug three scoops and the shiny silver coin revealed itself.  Praise the Lord!

Happy, Happy beautiful family.  Happy Father’s Day Bill!

Lost Wedding Ring Found at Marina Park Beach in Ventura

Serving beaches like Marina Park Beach, East Beach, Leadbetter Beach, and even Malibu, I’m here to recover your precious jewelry.
Recently, I received a late-night text from Hannah in Ventura, desperate to find her husband’s gold wedding ring lost at Marina Park Beach. While digging for sand crabs with their kids near the wet sand at high tide, her husband realized his ring was gone. The incoming waves erased all traces of their digging, leaving little hope of recovery.
Hannah posted on Facebook for help, and a friend recommended a metal detecting professional. Another shared my website, DaveTheRingFinder, and she reached out immediately. Based on the tides, I had one shot at an early low tide the next morning. Arriving at Marina Park Beach in the dark, I gridded the area with my Minelab Manticore. The beach’s bowl-like shape and recent high tide had buried everything deep under sand from the dunes, making it tough to detect anything.
Near the rocks, I finally picked up a faint signal. After digging 15 inches with my CKG Titanium scoop, I uncovered a massive gold wedding band—a solid 45 on my detector, buried so deep a smaller ring might’ve been missed. I texted Hannah and dropped the ring off at her Ventura home, where she was thrilled and grateful. Another successful recovery!

Lost White Gold Ring w/Diamonds Found in Elizabeth Park, Trenton Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Slippery Slope…..

…..Only a month into their engagement, Billy and his fiancée wanted to take a few pictures in beautiful Elizabeth Park. The park boasts of gorgeous scenery and picturesque bridges spanning small water channel off the Detroit River. The park also was a spot for a few war of 1812 skirmishes and has been quite attractive to relic hunters over the years. Arriving at the park they were welcomed by a brief rainstorm. After parking, as they descended a grass slope towards a bridge, she slipped on the grass and tumbled to the bottom. Regaining composure, they made it to the bridge. After a few pics they came back towards the car on a flatter route. At the car she discovered her ring missing. Being familiar with the park I knew where the young couple had this mishap. Using my MXT metal detector I started halfway between the slope and bridge. Grid searching carefully as I got near the bridge, I got a great signal. Reaching down with my hand-held pin pointer revealed her ring! I shouted out to Billy who was about 100 feet away still combing the slope. He ran towards me and was amazed that the ring was there! Billy agreed that the recovery helps sets the stage for their marriage being able to handle any type of terrain.

Don found me on the Ring Finders . Com directory after he had unsuccessfully recovered his gold pocket watch he lost. He remembers winding up the spring, putting it in his pant pocket then going out and mowing like he has done many times before. When he got back inside and looked to see what time it was…..well it was time to go look for his watch. He looked through the many nooks and crannies of the mower with no success. He then took his metal detector and searched many times for it. We talked about the details and then we started the search. Of course I put a new set of eyes on the mower as the first and final step. It was our honor to get this life long keepsake back to him.

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Lanikai Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Avery who was on vacation from Orange County, California and enjoying the day at Lanikai Beach.  So her mom Julia had taken off her rings to apply sunscreen on her and her sister Kindle.  When she finished and moved to another area on the beach they must have fallen out of her dress.  I told them I would pack my gear and head over but they had already left the beach.  They turned around and decided they would wait at the beach for me so they could show the area to hunt.  Lanikai is quite an extensive beach.  When I arrived I was blessed to get the first spot near the beach access as a car was leaving.  That never happens!  Since losing the ring earlier in the day the tide had come up and the area was now wet but the surf was calm.  Julia drew a box in the sand and I started a grid search.  No ring.  She called Kindle & Avery over and they thought I should be hunting more to the North.  I started way farther down the beach and worked my way back.  Found a brand new nickel which I thought would be the ring.  Then finally in wet sand I got a nice #7 on the Manticore.  In one scoop there was Julia’s stunning ring in the scoop with a huge diamond glistening in the sunlight.  She was obviously overwhelmed,  I think she was holding back tears.  There were two more rings in this loss but an expanding grid search they never came up.  I went all the way to the waters edge and low tide mark but no luck.  We guess those may have been eyeballed by someone earlier in the day as Julia and her girls went to a different area of the beach before they realized the rings were gone.  They are platinum with diamonds around one of them if someone can come forward with them that would be awesome.  Julia was obviously pleased to have her diamond ring back on her finger.  Aloha to Julia, Avery & Kindle!
