Lost Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Paradise Cove Beach…FOUND!!!

Paradise Cove 121924 MOV_0780

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Liz saying that Aloha Security told her I might be able to locate her Mom’s Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring in shallow water at Paradise Cove Beach.  I told her I had a hunt in Waikiki I had to finish up and then I would head right over to Paradise Cove.  When I got to Paradise Cove Liz’s mom Debbie, from NYC, was waiting at the lagoon to show me the area to hunt.  She told me she was throwing a football with her grandchildren and when she reached to catch the football her engagement ring flew off into shallow water.  I walked out to the furtherest distance Debbie was and started a grid search back towards shore.  On about the third leg I got a nice 27-32 hit on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Debbie’s amazing ring in the scoop.  She was so thankful and I think she was about to cry.  Many people had looked for her but it was buried.  Another vacation saved!  Aloha to Debbie and Family!

I received a call from Erik asking if I was available to help in finding a ring lost in the sand at the beach. I was, and let him know that I could be there soon. We arranged to meet there so he could show me where to look.

When I arrived I met Erik and his girlfriend Rowan, and they explained that Rowan had removed her jewelry in order to go out in the surf, but when getting ready put her jewelry back on, she found that one of her rings was missing. She told me how the ring had been in the family for numerous generations, and was given to her by her mother, so the sentimentality of the ring was strong. She said she was on vacation from Vermont, and was fearful the ring would be lost forever. I could see in the sand their search area, and began my search at the edge of it. I received a couple of signals, but the items were so small they fell through the scoop. Then right in the middle of their search area I received a strong signal, dug, and had Rowan’s ring. I called them over to let them know it was found, and she was very happy to know she would be able to go back home with her family treasure.

Ring Lost In Little Manatee State Park, Recovered By SRARC

Contact:


Lost something important? We can HELP! Our services are FREE! Donations to the Club are accepted. We will send a team of metal detector experts to search virtually any location. Some of the most common are parks, beaches, creeks and even your own backyard. If you have lost your ring or any other precious item, “Don’t Wait – Call Now.”

Lee and Keith were out for a walk along the fence line to Little Manatee State Park close to Wimauma. A bee started to buzz around Lee’s head and she whipped her kerchief out of her pocket to swat it away and then realized that her rings had been stored for safe keeping in the kerchief. She heard to clunks as the ring flew across the fence and hit the brush on the other side. She and Keith climbed over the park fence to search and were able to find one of the rings. Later that night Lee came back with a flashlight hoping to find the reflection of the diamonds on the other ring. As she looked she noticed a reflection but on closer inspection it turned out to be a wolf spiders eyes and after shining the light around she spotted many more of them. About that time a park ranger came along and kindly informed Lee that she was not allowed in the park at that time of day and would need to come back through the official entry during the parks open hours. Almost a year later (the ring was lost last February) Lee found SRARC ring finders and contacted the club. Mike Miller made arrangements with the park ranger and a hunt was arranged for the following week. Mike and Joe Szemer met Lee and a ranger and were taken to the location. In about 5 minutes, Joe said “Hey Mike I got it”. Both Lee and the ranger were in disbelief but had great big smiles on their faces. Lee gave them both a big hug and was extremely happy. We always love it when our hunt is a success and the lost item is returned.

Taylor contacted me about the loss of her husband’s wedding ring. She had been with him at a volleyball event the day before at the beach. He took the ring off to go in the water, and left it with the beach stuff. When they got ready to go Taylor picked everything up forgetting the ring was there, and the ring was gone in the sand. They looked for as long as they could without any luck. When she called she let me know she would not be able to meet me there, but was able to give me directions as to where to look. I went as soon as possible.

When I arrived at the beach, I was able by the map, and photos to figure where to begin my search. I also noticed that the beach cleaning machines had gone through, but not all the way into the area I was going to search. I began a tight grid going just into where the machines had been. Back and forth, back and forth, and not finding much. After about 20 minutes I began to find some tinfoil, and bottle caps, so I figured I had found the area where they had been the day before. Then right at the edge of the County clean zone I got a solid signal, dug, and found the ring. I sent Taylor a picture, and she confirmed it was her husband’s ring. We met later that day at a local Starbucks to make the return, and she was very happy to have it back.

Lost Silver Irish Claddagh Ring Saved from the Sand at SoCal Beach

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:


Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man if you lose a ring in the sand.

… Rachael put her two rings in her shirt pocket and walked across the sand to set up her beach chair on the sand so she could watch the waves. Some time between where she parked her car and where her beach chair one of the two rings was lost. It had to be in the sand.

The missing ring was a silver Irish claddagh designed ring passed down to her by her grandmother. After discussing when she last saw the ring and what she might have done that caused the ring to fall out of the pocket. It could have been pulled out when she took her celphone from the same pocket.

I wasn’t looking foreword to gridding the 100 plus yards of sand back to the parking lot. Our best place to start would be where Rachael spent most of the time.  After a few minutes I got a great high tone from my metal detector with high numbers that are common for silver metal. Boom ! One quick dig with my xtreme sand scoop, I had her ring. She stood watching the search process and I was able to let her reach in the scoop to retrieve her very special ring. Happiness is having your ring returned after you thought it was lost forever. Rachael was a very happy lady to have her ring saved from the sand.

Local Newport Beach Resident Lost House Keys in Sand .. Recovered by RingFinder

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Residents in Newport Beach call metal detecting expert to help finding items lost in the sand.. Call now if you need help ..


*** Bob lives a block away from the sand in Newport Beach. He loves to body surf in the waves a couple times a week. His habit is to leave his towel on the dry sand with his house keys, which he has done for years.

This time was different because he could not find his house keys after drying off. The keys were on a long necklace size chain which should have been an easy find. Nevertheless his house keys could not be located by a hand search.

He called me and I was able to meet him shortly after he called.  It didn’t take long to find the house keys using my metal detector. Bob was happy to get the keys back, so he didn’t have to break into his house..

Found Ring McCalla, AL

  • from Montevallo (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

This all started November 22nd. Jennifer contacted me about her lost engagement ring, it just so happened to be her Grandmothers ring. She had a rough idea of where she lost it but was unable to locate it. Her and her husband had borrowed an older detector but was unable to pinpoint anything because “all it did was beep on everything” I assured her if it was there I would find it. She was going out of town for Thanksgiving and wanted to set something up for the following week. She contacted me Saturday the 30th after Thanksgiving and asked if I was available for Sunday mid-day to early afternoon. Knowing how sentimental this ring was to here I decided to load up the whole arsenal and my wife with her detector. We arrived and Jennifer showed me a few areas where she was doing some yard work. She was very confident it was in a small area where she was spreading straw. So we began. The spot was in an animal cage so I knew there would be some chatter from all the fencing, so I popped the small coil on and went to work. First signal hit strong and only gave me one arrow on the Equinox 700, a quick glance revealed a concrete slab right under the dirt with rebar in it. I knew then that was going to present a new obstacle. Second target sounded great and in the gold range, however it was a piece of foil. Then all the sudden a loud assertive double tone and a 22 popped up on the Equinox my wife and I looked at each other with silent joy as to not get anyone’s hopes up, but we knew that sound all to well. My wife reached down and brushed away the straw to reveal a beautiful vintage solitaire engagement ring. We silently walked the ring over to Jennifer, who was visually very upset, and placed it into her shaking hands. Immediately the emotions poured down her cheeks. Right then I knew this ring was truly something special for her. Listening to her tell us about the struggles she had faced this year, my wife and I both struggled to not cry both for her and with her. This was truly the most emotional and rewarding recovery I have done to date. This is why I do what I do.

Lost Stud Diamond Earring Found Without a Metal Detector .. Irvine, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes metal detectors can’t find small metal jewelry.. We can always try using a visual search.. This searched required setting the detector a side and thoroughly doing a visual search.. Call if you need help … Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


… Chris had put his diamond stud earring in his pocket while he was watching a soccer game at a park in Irvine, CA.. As he was getting into his car he realized his stud earring was not in his pocket. It must have been pulled out while removing his celphone to take pictures.

He called me to help and we met the next morning. He brought the matching earring for me to check with my detector. This sample earring did not have a backing and I was unable to get a signal with my best small item metal detector. Two other negative problems were not looking good for a successful recovery.

The grass had already been mowed and he showed me a large area where he had been the of the loss. Chris wanted to call off the search. I suggested that we give it a 30 minute try as we were already at the location.

After a few minutes under almost impossible conditions we found his super small diamond stud earring visually. I know from past searches that these recoveries are not always found using a metal detector. We were already at the location, why not give it a try. That’s how we can make a miracle happen.

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

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

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!
