Small Gold Chain Ring Lost in Deep Grass .. at a Park in Irvine, California

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)


Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you find your lost ring or other precious metal jewelry.. Call or text as soon as possible 24/7 .. Also my email is: stan@metaldetectorman.com

*** Cynthia was at Arbor Park located in Irvine , CA. She was sitting on the grass with her family when her Gold  chain link ring came off her finger, dropping into deep grass.

She found my contact information on line. After a short conversation I was able to meet her 35 minutes after getting the address of the park..

My heart sank when she showed me a photo of the gold chain ring and seeing the deep grass where it was dropped. Gold chains are difficult for most metal detectors to receive a decent signal. I always carry my high frequency metal detector for small gold searches. This was definitely the tool I had to use.

It took a few minutes to get a decent signal in the 4” deep grass. The small chain ring was at the bottom of the grass, balled up, about the size of a gold nugget. Hardly visible , even after spreading the blades of grass away.

A quick response time and successful search in difficult conditions. Many times the people don’t realize how hard a search can be. They think anybody can find a metal object, if they have a metal detector.. I love the challenge and being able to help people find irreplaceable keepsakes.

I’m ready to help you find your missing metal item lost at the beach, yard, park or in the water. Also I have been able to recover jewelry in cars, homes or other places where a metal detector can’t be used using endoscopes and other search tools.

Lost Gold Platinum & Diamonds Poker Rings at Kailua Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Damian who was on vacation with his family from Denver, Colorado.  While Damian was wrestling his Father Kiko in the shore break at Kailua Beach Kiko’s two amazing Poker Rings came off and disappeared in the waves and sand.  Kiko told me he tried for about three hours to feel for them with his feet but that’s an impossible task.  I had just gotten home from work so I told Damian I would pack my gear and could be there in about 45 minutes depending on traffic.  When I got in the vicinity he flagged me down and miraculously there was available parking right where they were.  When I arrived, Damian took me down to the beach where I met Hector, Fabian, Kiko & Bianca.  The whole family was devastated that their Father had lost these special rings.  I also saw a metal detectorist in the water hunting and told them I don’t compete.  It’s either him or me.  Thankfully, the gentleman was a passerby and had just offered his assistance.  Having a Garrett MAX I knew that wouldn’t be working in our salt water environment.  He graciously bowed out so I could do the hunt with the Manticore.  Bianca showed me a video of Kiko & Damian wrestling in thigh deep water so I asked Kiko why was he standing in chest deep water.  I decided to do a perpendicular to shore grid and had Kiko stand in the water as my marker.  Thankfully, this beach is really clean so some deep grunting targets is all I heard until BOOM!  55-76 VDI on the surface target that my coil I believe actually bumped as I swung.  The water was so murky I had to scoop the concrete like sand.  I was only thinking big gold band not the monster green gem with diamonds in yellow gold that was in the bottom of my scoop.  I grabbed it and said to Kiko, “Look a ring for me.”  He exclaimed “No, that’s my favorite of the two rings I lost.”  He then told me the other ring was Platinum and had a gold coin in it with diamonds.  About 4 feet further another BOOM! This target refused to go in my scoop as I was getting thrown around in the surf.  I asked the other detectorist since he was a stout guy to try a real detector and stand his ground and scoop that target up for me.  I didn’t want to damage the ring scooping constantly.  Sure enough on his second scoop the other magnificent ring was in the scoop and immediately given to Kiko.  The entire family was over joyed that their vacation was saved.  We had a few laughs and pics and of course all the boys were interested in metal detecting and had a few questions about the hobby which I gladly answered.  Several beach goers were yelling congratulations and how awesome to see the recovery.  A great big Aloha to Kiko, Bianca, Damian, Fabian & Hector!

Late Monday night, I got a call from Dyana, frantic about her husband Richard’s wedding band. They’d been at East Beach in Santa Barbara when Richard, trying to protect his ring, tucked it into the cupholder of his beach chair before swimming. Packing up to head back to the Hilton across the street, he forgot it was there—and the ring flew into the dry sand. East Beach is a hot spot for detectorists, so time was critical for lost ring recovery in Santa Barbara. I promised to meet them at 6 a.m. the next day to search East Beach’s sands.
I arrived at East Beach—just one of Santa Barbara’s gems like Hendry’s Beach, Bates Beach, and Butterfly Beach—and met Dyana near their spot. She pointed out the area, and I started a grid search with my Minelab Manticore. The beach had been groomed overnight, and the sand was eerily quiet—raising fears a sweeper or another detectorist had claimed it. Then, a clear tone rang out. One quick dig with my CKG sand scoop, and Richard’s wedding band was in my hand! Dyana’s relief was instant—it was their one-year anniversary, and losing the ring at East Beach had nearly spoiled it.

Surfer Loses Tungsten Ring in Surf at Newport Beach . Found and Returned by Stan the Metal Detector Man

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Metal Detecting Service ready to help you now .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Chris called me asking for help to find his tungsten wedding ring .. He had been surfing at Newport Beach, CA. As he was coming out of the water he took off the top of his wetsuit then realized his wedding ring was missing. Some one on the beach recommended he contact Stan the metal Detector Man. 

I was able to meet him before he left the beach. This was key to helping Chris find his ring. We had the general area where he had been and the action that may have caused the ring to come off his finger. There still was a possibility that his ring was outside in deep waster where he was catching surfing waves. I explained that I only could search the dry sand and water to 4 feet in the surf. 

 

After a half hour I was able to find his ring.. We were lucky because the ring probably came off when he pulled his arm out of the wetsuit while standing in shallow surf. As usual Chris had given up and was very surprised that his ring was found in that location.. After surfing in deeper water for more than an hour, it could have been outside in waters too deep and turbulent to use a metal detector

.

If you have lost something give me a call. We can discuss the circumstances and conditions of the search area to determine if we have a chance to find your valuable. Stan the Metal Detector Man ..  949-500-2136 .. Available 7/24 to help you.

 

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Rahiti who hails from Tahiti and currently works for HECO on Oahu.  While playing competitive surf polo during the Duke Fest at Kuhio Beach while attempting to hit the ball his Platinum Wedding Band flew off and disappeared in chest deep water.  Since those protected pools get metal detected constantly I told Rahiti we should meet this afternoon immediately after I got off work.  We met in the Zoo Parking lot and then proceeded down to Kuhio Beach.  It was a super high tide and the waves were crashing over the wall and the pool was quite turbulent.  Rahiti thought the ring would be about halfway cross the pool but that water was over my head.  Looking at his pics from the day before when the ring was lost we realized it was probably only a third of the way in.  I told Rahiti I would go as deep as possible then turn parallel to the shore so as to get the most out of the high tide hunt.  I started  at the extreme left side of the grid and went in.  When I reached neck deep water I turned right and immediately got a loud #33 on the Manticore.  I took one scoop and the target was captured.  I could not believe my eyes there was a large Platinum Band in the scoop.  First target, first swing!  I yelled to Rahiti “Got it!”  He looked as surprised as I was for such a quick recovery.  Had he been even a few inches to the right on this hunt we wouldn’t have found the ring.  Totally Blessed!  Much Aloha to Rahiti!

White Gold Wedding Band Set Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC (with Video)

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

This recovery started on Monday, Aug 27th about 1:10 pm, with a text message from Rachel saying, “Hi Jim. Am I able to hire you to search around our beach chairs for my wedding rings?” The text had her phone number, so I called her to get a little more detail. She told me that she took her ring set off and put them in her cover-up pocket to put on suntan lotion. A short time later she took the cover-up off, forgetting about the set. Within seconds, she remembered about them being in the pocket, and they were gone. She was sure they were around the beach chairs. Unfortunately, I wasn’t available for at least an hour or two, but she said she wasn’t going anywhere until she was sure the area was checked.

I called her back about 1:45 pm saying I’d be there in 30-45 minutes. When I got there she was in the parking lot talking to friends. We walked out on the beach and across the sand to where her husband Rob was sitting. The search area was maybe 1.5X1.5 ft.  I had my Equinox 800 with me, turned it on and started swinging. With the ring set being white gold, I knew the VDI (Visual Display Indicator) would show between 8-12, depending on the size of the rings. Within seconds I had an 11 VDI and a strong signal next a beach chair. I asked Rachel if she’d move the beach chair so I could be sure I wasn’t getting interference from it. I swung my machine back over the spot and BINGO! I had to take 2 scoops to get the target out of the hole. I didn’t ask, but I assumed that Rachel and Rob had tried to find the ring set and moved enough sand to bury the ring a little deeper. When I spread the sand out on the beach, Rachel spotted her ring before I did and quickly picked it up. There were a few very happy tears of relief and a big hug from Rachel, who didn’t think she’d get her precious treasure back.

Special thanks to my son, Mike, who’s visiting from CT and took the video for the story.

Rachel and Rob – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Have a great rest of your vacation!!

Jim

Wedding Ring recovery at Wrightsville Beach NC

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This ring was recovered and returned at Wrightsville Beach NC on 8-25-24.

I received a call yesterday around 10:30am from a gentleman who was at Wrightsville Beach and had lost his ring. He explained he was tossing a ball with others when his ring suddenly fell off and he immediately tried to grab it but a wave came in and took it before he could pick it up. We spoke for awhile and he also explained that he had to catch a flight back to Arizona so he probably wouldn’t be there when I got to the beach but I could give it to his brother who could bring him the ring if I found it. He marked the area very well for me to know where to search and sent me photos of the markers. I drove to the beach and got there around 1:45pm. It was high to when I got there so I knew I would be hunting in the water since he lost it around low to mid tide. Because he marked the area so well I was able to find the area to search with ease. This was a big help. I entered the water and started my search. After about 10 minutes of searching in the water with strong waves I stepped into a trough under the water that was a little above my knees deep. Searching the trough I got a strong solid signal on my metal detector. I used my extreme sandscoop to dig the target and recover the ring. I called him to let him know I found it and sent him pictures of it. He was very happy to hear I found it. I later met with his brother at a rest area along my route home and gave him the ring so he could get it back to his brother. I was very happy to help. 

Wedding band recovered in Belmar NJ

While watching tv at 8:45pm, my phone rings and it’s Welmo from Fort Lee asking if I could help locating his wedding band lost on Belmar, NJ beach. At first I thought he had already returned home and I told him i’d go in the morning but with that beach there are some locals that detect the beach after hours and it may be gone by the morning. He said he was still in Belmar so I agreed to meet him in 15 minutes. Getting to the beach I met up with him. He told me he took his ring off to put lotion on his daughter and placed the ring on her bookbag she brought along and forgot about it. He showed me that area they were sitting by means of picture he took during the day and I started a grid back and forth. Wasn’t doing any good except for trash until my 6th pass through the area and got a great signal and with 1 scoop of sand I had his ring back for him. He was so grateful to get his ring back. A great happy ending to the night.
