Lost Gold, Diamonds & Sapphires Wedding Band at Royal Hawaiian Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Michael who was back home on the mainland wanting to know if I could detect his wife Erin’s Gold, Diamonds & Sapphires Wedding Ring in the dry sand at Royal Hawaiian Beach.  I was heading to lunch and he gave me Erin’s number to coordinate the search time.  We agreed I would be there around 2PM and Erin would meet me on the beach to show me the area.  My daughter Jodi hooked me up by dropping me off at the Royal Hawaiian Beach Access which brought me to the exact spot Erin was waiting.  Erin showed me where she was digging and it was about a 10 by 15 foot square.  I fired up the “Manticore” did a noise cancel then started the hunt.  First trip around the box no targets.  Second trip solid #3 on the Beast and in one scoop there was Erin’s gorgeous ring in the scoop.  Several tourists on the beach started clapping and congratulating us.  Erin was flying home in about 5 hours so that recovery was a major load off her mind.  Aloha to Erin & Michael!

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring hunt began when I got a text from Keli asking, “Can you possibly help us? My husband lost his wedding band?” I immediately called and told Keli who was on vacation from Bowie, Maryland, that I would grab my gear and head down as I’m only 10 minutes away from the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  Thankfully,  when I arrived there was a free parking stall.  Keli met me at the Shrimp truck and then took me to meet her husband Jason so he could narrow down the search area.  Jason assured me he was only waist deep when he caught the football which knocked his Platinum & Diamond wedding ring off and he watched it disappear into the murky lagoon.  The first grid we made only yielded some trash & coin targets.  Keli really thought they were more to the west so I extended that direction and no luck still.  Jason and Keli asked if I could do a few more grid lines to the west towards a gentleman on the beach.  I was on what was going to be the final leg when “BOOM” nice 37-54 target on the Manticore and in one scoop there was Jason’s awesome ring in the scoop.  Several cheers rang out on the beach as I reunited Jason with his ring.  We had a few laughs and hugs and it was obvioud there vacation was going to be just fine.  Aloha to Jason & Keli!

Michael called to see if I could help him find some buried stakes in his back yard. He had recently purchased his home, and was in the back yard with his girlfriend when she stepped on an old rusted stake that had been cut off just under the surface, rather than dug out, and it cut her foot up pretty bad. I let him know I could do the search, and we arranged a day for it.

I got to Michael’s house, and he lead me to where the first stake was found. It was partially dug up, and I reached to feel it, realizing it was as sharp as a razor. It was an old rusted fence stake that must have been hammered at least three feet into the ground. I realized that instead of digging them out the previous owner figured it would be much easier to just grind them off. Michael did not know if there were any more, but desperately wanted to know for the safety of anyone coming into his yard. After the search was complete, I had found 6 more dangerously sharp stakes to be removed. Needless to say, Michael was very relieved to know he could free his yard of these harmful objects.

… Victoria lost a very sentimental gold ring in the sand at the original muscle beach workout area, which is located just south of the Santa Monica Pier.

Her friend had been holding the gold ring while Victoria was working out on the bars. After handing the ring back to Victoria, she slipped the ring onto one of her smaller fingers.

A half hour later as the two of them went to get on their bikes. She realized her most important ring was missing. It a gold ring that was her father’s. He  had given Victoria before he passed several years ago.

Even though it was lost the day before in a heavily detected area of the beach, I told her I would give it a try. The least I could do is thoroughly search the area to tell her it is not there.

I was able to eliminate all the areas under the bars, rings, swings and rope climb. I saved the 60-75ft path from the swings to the bicycle parking space. Boom ! .. The very special sentimental gold ring that was the only physical item that Victoria had to remember her father.

Buried Sewer Clean-out’s…Located By Metal Detector!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

As a member of THE RING FINDERS community, I often get calls for missing items such as; men’s and woman’s rings, earrings, cell phones, and keys.  I even have gotten a number of requests for missing or locating property pins.  I also get to meet a great deal of interesting personalities while on these requests for assistance.  Ken’s story is a little bit different and takes place on a large plot of land.  A few years earlier, he had trenched and ran new sewer lines with a clean-out every 100 feet.  Before burying these lines he capped the clean-outs with a big brass fitting.  The thought was that these large brass caps would be simple to locate with a metal detector should the need arise.

Fast forward to May of this year, Ken purchased a metal detector and fabricated a probe to rediscover his clean-outs.  After several attempts at locating them and hundreds of probes pushed into the ground, I received a request for assistance.

Our First attempts found highly mineralized ground and a lot of debris around our target area.  Usually, I would move to a smaller coil, ground balance, and turn up the target separation on my equinox, however in this application we needed depth to locate what was thought to have been 16″ to 18″ down.  We searched for 2 hours in the hot days sun before concluding our search.  Ken and I had a lot of great conversation but both were disappointed in the result.  I left questioning if I had the depth required to even see our target.

I stewed about the issues we had faced for a couple of days and decided I needed another shot.  I utilized the money I received from our previous search to supplement the purchase of a new larger coil.  I turned my target separation down to 1 to achieve maximum depth and power and on Saturday I returned to the field.  Ken had located some older photos that proved we were indeed in the right area.  We gave it another shot and we found a target and probed…nothing!  Found a target and probed…nothing!  Our third and best target we probed…it was an area we had probed during the previous search…suddenly Ken hit something!  We both smiled, hopeful that the search was indeed over.  We both grabbed a shovel and began to dig and at just about 20″ in depth we located the first brass clean-out cap.  I think we were both equal part excited and equal part relieved.

Afterwards, we marked out 100′ up hill in the direction the sewer pipes traveled and began again.

Thank you Ken!  I enjoyed our conversations and the opportunity to work on a different project than those I typically perform.  I learned some valuable knowledge and procured new equipment to continue helping others.

Roger lost his car key at the beach. After a futile attempt to find it, he found me on theringfinders.com web site, and asked if I could help. Well it was just that morning the key was lost, so I told him I would come right away, in order to increase the possibility of a recovery.

When I got to the beach Roger told me he had buried the key, so he could go in the water, and not have to worry someone might take it. The problem occurred when after being in the water, he came out grabbed his towel, and headed for his car. When he got there, it was then he realized that the key was still in the sand. I set up my equipment, and began my search. I made sure to cover all of the area Roger had pointed out to me, plus going further to be sure I did not miss it. After about 15 passes in my grid, having found numerous pieces of trash metal, I found the key, and held it up for Roger. He was happy to have it back so he could head off for work. So I really made his day.

Family Heirloom Ring, Lost at Dock ( 2nd trip back) Point Pleasant NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

The ring finders south Jersey ring finder lbiHow to find lost ring The ring finders south jersey Ring Finder LBIIf you didn’t have a chance to read the original story, Jennifer had lost 2 ring in the water where they dock their boat. I recovered the one ring (wedding band) on the first trip, but the beautiful family heirloom diamond ring was hiding on the muddy bottom, in a location that my metal detector had not yet covered. It was getting late so I packed it in for the day and promised I would return after vacation in a few weeks. It was a safe location, otherwise I would have never postponed looking for the second ring. We made arrangements as I usually do prior to showing up, and quickly got to work upon my arrival. I decided to use my other machine with the 6′ coil, as the target location is a much more concentrated location. The reason for that was because marina locations tend to be very trashy, due to the fact that once an item is dropped into the water, its usually forgotten about. The larger coil I had used on the first recovery attempt was picking up to many signals at one time, therefore the beautiful filigree diamond ring was getting overpowered by other metallic items on the bottom. WELL, that was obviously a good idea because I had Jennifer’s ring in my scoop in under 5 minutes.

While enjoying the bonfire on the beach in North Wildwood, NJ, Anthony lost his hearing aid in the sand. Upon receiving a call for assistance, I promptly arrived at the scene. After gathering some details about the incident, I began my search with the help of my metal detector.

Despite an hour and a half of meticulous searching, success eluded me. I decided it would be best to resume the search after the bonfire was over and the area was clear. Upon my return, I expanded the search perimeter and digging out several other targets.

Finally, after countless swings of my metal detector and a few hours of dedicated searching, I found the missing hearing aid! I immediately called Valerie to relay the good news. Al soon met me at the scene, and I handed over the hearing aid.

The day concluded on a happy note, transforming a potential disaster into a joyful ending.

I was contacted by Holly late one evening because she had lost a couple of rings earlier that day. She and her family had been at the beach when they were lost, and she wondered if I would be able to do a search maybe in the morning. I know that this beach is cleaned by machines daily, so I urged a search right away. She was unable to meet me there because she and her family had left the beach already, and her husband had gone to the Dodger game. I let her know that I would do the search if they were able to pin point the area of the loss using a satellite image, which they did.

I got to the beach about 9:00 PM, and began my search. I had the general area, but knew that because they were not there to show me their exact location, I had to make sure to cover more area to ensure a complete search. I started low on the beach and worked a grid up going out of the boundaries that were sent. I took my time to be sure I covered every inch of sand. After searching for about 45 minutes I found her engagement ring, and called her to be sure it was the one. I then proceeded to look for the other ring searching further up the beach, but was unable to find it. Holly let me know that I found the one that meant the most to her, which made me happy. We picked a place for the return, and I got to meet Holly and her family. It was truly a pleasure to have been able to help her with her loss.
