Lost – Ladies Gold Diamond Engagement Ring, Edgewater, F

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Late on Friday evening, I received a message on Facebook from Jodi. She had read my post about finding a lost ring and was hoping I could help her locate one she had lost back in October. I told her I’d give her a call first thing the next day.

When I spoke with Jodi the following morning, she explained that she had been wearing her engagement ring on a chain while helping a friend clean up after Hurricane Milton. At some point, she noticed the chain had broken, and the ring was gone. We made plans to meet at noon to begin the search.

As I drove toward Edgewater, I offered a quick prayer for guidance. Upon arriving, I met Jodi and Henrietta, the owner of the property. They showed me the area where they had been working. Since they’d been dragging brush and debris across a large section of the property, the ring could have ended up anywhere.

I fired up my Minelab Manticore and started scanning. My first hit was just a piece of yard debris, but the next signal sounded promising—a much more gold-like tone. After digging just a few inches into the soil, I uncovered something sparkling: the missing ring! The entire search had taken only two minutes.

Jodi was overjoyed, tears in her eyes as she hugged the ring close. Henrietta was equally thrilled to see her friend’s treasured possession returned.

2 Lost Gold Rings Found Inside House in Sterling Heights Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

FIND No. 200…….

……FAB-YULE-US !!……

…..Got a text from Marilyn just after Christmas 2024 stating her 2 gold rings went missing during her family’s celebrations. Hers was white gold w/ diamonds and her deceased mom’s ring is yellow gold w/ rubies. Marilyn remembered taking them off together but then couldn’t find them the next day. With lots going on Christmas day thinking back she was able to narrow the area in the house she felt was an area of interest. Mentioning she checked many locations I suggested we check again. Methodically going thru some items with my metal detector, a good signal sounded out. The rings appeared to have fallen into some bins and got stuck. Marilyn gasped in amazement as the rings appeared! Now with New Year here and the chiming of bells, She and her family will literally be ringing in the new year!

Spring Lake NJ, Necklace/Pendant lost in the sand, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

How to find ring with metal detector

Mitchell called about finding his lost chain and pendant, which had gone missing on a busy beach two days earlier. I reassured him that it might still be there and suggested we give it a shot. We agreed to meet by the closest road to where he had set up his chair that day.

I arrived a bit early and decided to start searching. The area was large, and I mostly found trash—usually a bad sign, indicating that another detector might have already combed the area. Something didn’t feel right, though, so I went back to review my notes. Mitchell had mentioned being closest to the middle chair, but when I first arrived, I only saw two chairs. Now that some swimmers had left, a third chair was visible, and everything clicked into place—I had been searching in the wrong spot.

This was a reminder of why it’s crucial for the person who lost the item to be there, and arriving early had thrown me off. Just as I realized this and headed to the correct location, I saw another detectorist pass by the spot where Mitchell believed his necklace should be. Fortunately, Mitchell had already arrived and confirmed the location, so we quickly began the search.

Within moments, I found his necklace safely in my scoop. Mitchell could hardly believe it; the necklace was a cherished family heirloom with immense sentimental value, and he had thought it was lost forever.

Lost Property Markers (Irons) Found in Grosse Pointe Park Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Defining the Boundaries……

….Is something all of us have had to deal with all our lives, from childhood when our parents set boundaries and now as adults where we set boundaries on finances, who we are friends with, and how much we want to deal with any situation and so on. Defining boundaries also creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding by showing respect for ourselves and gaining the respect from people in general. When John called me, he discussed his interest in locating his property markers to help him define the boundaries of his land before he started to trim some trees. Using my magnetic locator metal detector, we did some quick measurements to get us in the area for each concealed property iron. It was quick work with the magnetic locator to reveal each iron. Now with these fine lines clearly defined, it’s up to John and each neighbor to honor that boundary.

Gold & Multi Diamond Ring Lost at Christmas, Found in West Kelowna

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

Danielle was visiting her Parents in West Kelowna over the Christmas Period. Two days before Christmas, before she entered her parents house she shook her hands to get the rain off, as she did she she felt her 14k multi diamond ring come of by a tree. They all spent three days searching for it, to no avail. Dec 26th she found my services on Google, and gave me a call. I had time before dinner so I responded right away, Danielle found me on Google, however it took 45 minutes to find their location as Google was out of date. Danielle showed me the location by the tree, not sure if it bounced off the tree or not. It did bounce off and landed in the long grass around the tree, which made it an easy search for a Metal Detector. Her Happy Christmas was restored.

Lost Yellow Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Queen’s Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Will from Washington DC who was visiting Waikiki with his fiance’e Hannah.  Will told me Hannah had lost her Yellow Gold & Diamonds engagement ring in the sand at Queen’s Beach in Waikiki and if I was able to help today or tomorrow.  Knowing this beach is heavily detected I asked if we could meet in about 4 hours as I would be off work then and could grab my gear at home and swing right over.  As I arrived Will and Hannah were just moments away and when they arrived Will drew a grid in the sand for me to search.  After about 10 minutes only trash targets were found.  After talking to Hannah I asked her to extend the grid out into the direction she jumped up when a bumblebee and pestered her and she jumped up and that was when she thought most likely the ring came off.  Surely, the first target in the next grid was a screaming gold tone and one scoop later there was Hannah’s stunning ring in the scoop.  I yelled over to her & Will “Got it!”  I let Hannah reach in the scoop to retrieve her ring and a sigh and look of relief was certainly evident.  Will said Thank you so much.  That truly saved our vacation.  My pleasure!  Aloha to Hannah & Will!  May the wedding be extra special!

Lost Gold Ring Found in Birmingham Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Un-Gloved….

…It started out a busy day for Mrs. Teena, for she had lots of places to go and a ton of tasks to complete around the house and yard. It was now evening and while enjoying dinner she noticed her ring was missing. Mentally going over where she may have lost the ring, she concluded that the characters involved in the disappearance was classy car, brownie leaf bag and friends, bladed grass, steely sewer drain or lefty grip glove and his right-hand man. Approaching classy car it said “It wasn’t me! I carry around a lot of weight but none of it is gold so go check brownie leaf bags!”, and on doing so, no metal was detected with my MXT detector. Brownie bags got offended and said, “Why didn’t you check the bladed grass before me?”. Bladed grass was so thin we could see that the ring was not there but mentioned that steely sewer can see everything from below and noticed Mrs. Teena taking lefty grip glove and right-hand man on and off while filling up brownie leaf bags! But prior to my arrival Mrs. Teena checked both gloves and found nothing. I asked where grippy gloves were hiding and she said they were concealed out of sight by the house. I said that’s the clue we were waiting for! Lifting up the gloves I proceeded to scan them with my detector and got a metal signal and reading that indicated GOLD! Mrs. Teena and husband were awe struck and said again that she checked the gloves. So, reaching into the finger slot I was able to wiggle out Mrs. Teena’s very thin gold ring that lefty grip glove was hiding! Both she and husband were thrilled that this winning move to recover the ring fit like a glove!

Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Sterling Heights Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Mulch Ado About Nothing……

…As David was hurrying to finish his outside tasks for the year his ring disappeared and with way too mulch on his agenda didn’t realize it until later that night. After looking without mulch luck, he called me to come by to metal detect. Fretting over the phone about not knowing where it was, I told his wife out in the yard that it wouldn’t be too mulch trouble to find it. Scanning the grounds I got no junk signals but nearing the end of the mulch beds I got a great signal and reading on the detector’s meter where tungsten rings usually appear. Probing down a bit with the pin pointer I got a metal target. Reaching down revealed David’s tungsten ring! I walked around to the front door and presented the ring to David’s wife and with mulch enthusiasm on the phone David said mulch obliged!

I received a call from Andy who stated that his wife’s wedding ring had been lost in the area of his driveway. We talked for a bit and exchanged a few texts and I arranged to go out the next morning.

Andy met me at his home and stated that he thought the ring was in or around a bush next to the driveway. He thought he saw the ring fall into that area but he and a neighbor who had a metal detector were unable to find it. I immediately went to work feeling pretty confident that the ring would be somewhere close but probably not in the bush if the neighbor did not find it. I soon figured out why the other person had a tough time as the ground was super loud with all sorts of sounds. I checked around the bush and then expanded my search but came up empty. I then commandeered a trash can and started to clean up the leaves along the side of the driveway but again…nothing. I then went back into the area of the bush and with my detector and pin pointer and started to pull out some small nails and a few other targets. I kept getting a hit at the base of the bush and but I could not locate the source. I kept going removing lot of leaves and some mulch…the target was there but ever elusive. All of a sudden – I found the ring!! It was located at the base of the bush which was coiled around like a spring and had gotten covered up, maybe from the previous searches.

I called Andy who came back to retrieve the ring. I told him it was in the bush where he thought but it was really tough find. Andy was very thankful and immediately took the ring inside for when his wife arrived home. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client like Andy and return his wife’s wedding ring.
