Lost gold pendant – Fairhope, AL

  • from Mobile (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Brad earlier this week about a small pendant that was lost in his yard a couple days prior. He was in Fairhope which is only about 20 miles away from me on Dauphin Island as the crow flies, but is over an hour drive because it’s “across the bay” as we like to say here. Because of the distance, we mutually agreed that an afternoon later in the week would work best for both of us.
The day finally arrived and I talked my hubby into a nice little afternoon drive. After running into an unmarked detour and a street that was so new it wasn’t on my car’s GPS, we finally found his house. After carefully listening to the details of how it was lost, we both sectioned off a portion of the yard and started gridding. Almost an hour later just as we were almost about to give up, I heard a shallow target with a promising tone on my Nox 800. I simultaneously looked down and there was the tiny 18K gold pendant with a stone nestled in the grass ! Yay !! I happily knocked on the door and dropped the little pendant into Brad’s hand. I always love the surprised look I get. Brad stepped out and quickly pulled a very generous monetary reward out of his pocket which, as always, I just as quickly turned down. Karma is always my best reward ! Brad declined my request for a picture of him, but he did let me take a picture of his two adorable little girls who looked very happy that Mommy and Daddy were happy.

Lost Sentimental Silver Ring at Kahala Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from the Kahala Hotel and Resort Concierge asking if I was available for a guest’s lost ring recovery at the beach in the water.  I responded that I was currently on a ring hunt and could be reached in about an hour and to give their guest my contact number.  While driving home from that successful recovery I got a call from Sune who was visiting Oahu from Copenhagen, Denmark.  As he was starting to swim the backstroke his Sentimental  Silver Ring fell off in chest deep water.  He borrowed a mask and snorkel but the water was too murky to see anything.  I told Sune since it was getting late I’d get on the tide chart at my home computer and call him back for the best time to hunt the following morning.  It so happened sunrise at 6:30 would be the beginning of a low tide and we agreed to meet in the hotel lobby.  When I arrived Sune showed me the area he was in and it was perfectly calm water although the surf was breaking on the outer reef.  Anyone who knows this beach it gets mucky in many spots and difficult to keep on a grid.  I decided to start shallow and work deep parallel to the shore.  I asked Sune if the depth I was at would be good and he said lets start a little bit shallower.  So I did.  I started the grid search and my first target was a nice high tone.  I took a scoop and as the scoop broke the surface I had a wad of gray muck and green algae in the scoop.  I got a glimpse of a silver shine and as I pulled the goop out of my scoop the silver ring was tangled in the algae.  OMG!  Had Sune not told me to go that little bit shallower I would have hunted for hours and not found it.  These Kahala Beaches have played many tricks on me in the past and each time the ring had been found more shallow then expected.  As you can imagine Sune was so grateful to have his sentimental ring back before he flies to Los Angeles this evening.  Aloha to Sune!

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Makapuu Beach Park…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Jimmy who was on vacation from Vancouver BC Canada.  The text said, ” I could use your services.”  I immediately called and Jimmy told me while shaking out his towel he had forgotten he had put the ring there and it got flung out into the sand and disappeared.  I told Jimmy I’d grab my gear and meet him in the parking lot of Makapuu Beach park.  When I arrived 20 minutes later Jimmy took me down to the area the ring was lost.  I could see in the sand where he had been raking his fingers in hopes of finding the ring.  I fired up the Manticore and started a grid search.  First target was a bottle cap.  It sounded soooo good!  Next target sounded even better and was a perfect dot on the 2D display.  In one scoop there was Jimmy’s ring.  I could see the look of relief on his face.  He said, “Thank you for saving my vacation!”  Aloha to Jimmy!

Metal detector in Oceanside combs the beach to find buried Gold ring,IPhone,Keys,Wallets all in a purse!

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

TheRingFinders metal detector service in San Diego helped find a buried purse full of sentimental & valuable items at Oceanside beach. WHO Ya gonna call? 760 889 2751

Over this summer I have helped many people find lost jewelry along with other items at the drop of a hat. From the cry’s of help to a matter of urgent timing of finding a lost diamond wedding ring before it gets found by a local hobbyist detecting….Or even worse…A sand sifting machine!

This call actually came in from a security guard during a Surf event who was trying to help a marine couple at the beach find a purse they buried before going out to the water. I live nearby the Oceanside pier so I dropped my hat and was there quickly.

First thing to my amazement was a large crater hole maybe 25X25’ they had dug & sifted through frantically for hours!  I could definitely tell by that amount of work they really needed my help. We all have probably lost a wallet,Keys,phone,Ring but If you can only imagine losing everything important you have all at once! Then he says the most important item is his family heirloom Gold ring that was handed down.

So off I went swinging my metal detector around the outer perimeter of the crater then as soon as I made a lap and switched to the inner part I received a familiar large overloading signal …Sure enough it was it & I was able to save the night once again!

Sorry I did not ask for her to open/empty her purse for the standard photo shoot recovery due to privacy of other personal belongings.

Lost Ring throwing football – FOUND in Gulf Shores

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I had the pleasure of helping out Joe Hess the other day. Joe and his family were down visiting Gulf Shores from their home in Indiana. Joe had been on the beach throwing football with his son when his wedding ring came flying off and quickly buried somewhere in the sand. Joe and his wife have been married 20 years so everyone began looking for it to no avail. With the tide rising in the afternoon they found me online and had me come over from Pensacola. My wife and I loaded up and quickly made our way over and met Joe on the beach. I started looking in the area he thought it was and quickly realized this was going to be a bigger search than Joe thought. My wonderful wife went to the car to get my biggest coil to cover more ground while I asked Joe more questions. Joe ended up telling me that he was using his left hand to throw the ball because his right was hurt and I worried that he may have flicked his hand awkwardly towards the water. I changed coils quickly and started a search where the water was coming in with the tide. I made one pass and as I got halfway back in the edge of the surf I heard a really deep tone. I took a huge scoop and drug it up on the sand to be safe. As soon as I broke open the sand with my hand I saw Joe’s gold band and turned around with a big smile. I’m so glad that Joe called quickly and we found it even quicker. That ring was too important to lose to that incoming tide. Congrats Joe!

Contact:

 

I can help you or someone you know to find a lost ring or other important piece of jewelry. Call or text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Ashley’s friend called me called me after Ashley had her two rings washed off beach towel by a rouge wave. The friends were in Laguna Beach, CA. at Emerald Cove when the rings were lost in the sand. I was able to meet them soon after they called.

I couldn’t believe how this happened. This crazy wave came up just the one time, surprising everyone on the beach. Anyway they had a very good idea of where the two rings could be. I was looking forward to a quick recovery. The silver ring was easy but the gold ring didn’t show for about 15 minutes. It was actually buried in the sand next to a spray can of sun block. I didn’t take time to move the sunblock spay can until my second pass. 

The rings were very sentimental to Ashley and it was a real treat to see the happiness of having the rings back in her possession. We also got the attention of all the beach goers as the beach was elbow to elbow with people. RingFinder to the rescue.

Available to help you now ..Call now, I can answer any questions you may have on how this service works. Don’t waste time renting or using a metal that you don’t have experience using.. Call or Text Stan ..949-500-2136  … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE

Two gold and diamond wedding rings lost in Oakdale, MN – Now found!

  • from Saint Paul (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Moemi had both of her rings safe in a ring box in her house until her little one grabbed the box and ran outside. As he was running, the box flew out of his hands and came open – both rings flying into the tall grass yard.

Noemi and her husband, Matt, searched the tall grass where the box landed to no avail. After weed eating the grass down, they tried again, but still no rings. So Matt mowed the lawn down some and they searched again.

After 6 hours of searching (some of it with a rented metal detector), Matt contacted me. I came out that afternoon and within 20 minutes found both rings about a foot away from each other buried deep in the grass. It was great to get those rings back to Moemi.

Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring, Daytona Beach Shores, Florida – FOUND!!!

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Wednesday evening, I got a call from a fellow ringfinder.  He asked if I could handle a call for him.  I said, of course!  I called Charles and asked him where and when he lost it and set a time for us to meet before low tide the next day.  I brought my friend Brian who is just getting into metal detecting.

Charles took us down to the beach and showed us the section of beach where he had lost the ring, but the tide was still high, and the wave action was much greater than we expected.  Nevertheless, Brian and I started grid searching the area.  I started about waist-high in the water.  Brian started from the high tide line.

I had an obligation that I had to attend to, so I left the search area for a while.  About an hour after that Brian had exhausted the search area.  He decided to go back over some of the high tide out of the water area.  His first target was iron.  Next a solid hit on his Deus II.  It was the ring.  Great work Brian!

There was dancing on the beach as the happy couple recovered their precious ring.

Diamond Engagement/Wedding Ring lost in lake…Recovered in Foster City, CA!!!

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

Saedah was in an obvious panic when she lost her diamond engagement/wedding ring off the deck and into the lake at a Bay Area restaurant!  She admitted to locating THERINGFINDERS.COM website and proceeding to contact just about every member in the Bay Area for help.  Once word got to me, the idea of performing only my 2nd request for a water recovery this year was appealing.  It was late in the evening and I wouldn’t be available until mid-day the following afternoon, but I agreed to sign on to the task.

The details as to where the ring fell into the lake were really good, however the depth was left a bit ambiguous.  Not knowing this piece of the puzzle, I packed an enormous amount of equipment for the recovery.  When I showed up to the location I used a tape measure to check the depth of the water near the site Saedah noted the ring was lost.  It was just under 5 feet in depth but dropped off steep.  I decided to make an attempt without a ton of gear and took just a scoop and the Equinox 800.  I located a CLOSED for CONSTRUCTION boat dock to access the water from and slid into the water.  Making it half the distance to the location of the missing diamond ring, I turned back to grab a mask and snorkel.

Once in the location underneath where Saedah and friends were sitting prior to the loss of the ring, it took only seconds to recover it.  We had MADE THE RECOVERY!!!

As I emerged from the lake with my gear and the missing ring, patrons of the restaurant clapped and congratulated me.  The manager stated that a lot of phones, rings, eating utensils and other things often end up in the lake along the deck, but this was the first time he had heard of anything being recovered.  I sent Saedah a picture of the ring and then called… she was overjoyed that the ring was found and safe and set out to meet me at the location.  This was an excellent way to start the weekend!

I wanted to thank Saedah for trusting me with the recovery of her meaningful and precious ring.  And also to all of the other Ring Finders who helped point her in my direction!  I consider this a win for all of us, Thank you!

The boat dock from which I entered the water and the deck the missing ring was lost off of.

Freshly recovered from the lake!

The recovered ring!

The Diamond Engagement/Wedding ring!

Saedah with her ring back where it belonged.

How to find a lost ring in the sand

Brian was at the back of a home in Ventnor, NJ, which was nearing completion. Suddenly, a wasp attempted to sting him, but he managed to swat it away. However, in the process, his wedding band slipped off and landed in the sandy mixture on the ground. Brian attempted to locate the lost ring using a metal detector but was unsuccessful. As a result, he reached out to me for assistance. I arrived at the scene, and after conducting a thorough search, I successfully located the missing ring.
