Vintage David Yurman Silver Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, Dave Milsted. He was working on snow clean up at a home outside Philadelphia during the recent storm. While working in the back alley behind the home he felt and heard his large, silver, vintage David Yurman ring fly off his finger. He looked for a while but it fell in the deep snow and a metal detector was needed for sure. I met him that afternoon and found the ring after a 10 minute search. Was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

1978 Gold Class Ring Found and Returned to Owner by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Indiana, PA

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I found this ring before the snow started to fall but had to wait until I was able to return the ring to its owner.

I had just put a new “SILVER” cherry picking program on my minelab manticore and was taking it out to test it. I decided to go to one of my spots I have hammered over the years as a true test. I started to comb the area and picked out a nickel on my first hole (the program does notch in nickel signals). I continued moving on and hit another solid 25 and figured it was another nickel. I turned my plug and to my amazement it was a gold 1978 class ring from the other side of the state. The bottom part of the ring was broken off but I was able to recover the small piece from the hole as well. I examined the ring and inside I found legible initials. From there in the field I got out my phone and googled the school district. A nice lady from the school answered but told me they could not help me. I was truly puzzled and I went back to detecting.

Once I got home I tried to locate a yearbook and initially was unable to do so. I did find an alumni page are reached out to one of the admins. He said he would help me. In the meantime I continued to search and did find a yearbook (finally!). I located the person I thought it was and conducted a google search and found contact information for the person. I sent them an email and then it was time to wait. After a short time the alumni site admin. confirmed my suspicions of the potential owner. Finally I received a response and they did lose their ring and until now had been a mystery as to how and where.

Unfortunately, returning the ring in person would not be possible. The owner lives on the west coast. So, at the owner’s request, I took a trip to the post office and mailed it back. While I love the reaction an in person return brings knowing I was able to locate the owner and do the right thing in returning it was more than enough.

Metal detector used to find property markers in Chuluota, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Robert called me and asked about locating some property markers surrounding his house in Chuluota, Florida. I said I would be glad to help him so we set a date and I spent the next day thinking about what all I would need to find his 5 property stakes. I asked Robert for a copy of his property lay out and determined I would need some wooden stakes of my own, some bright colored flags, a hammer, a small shovel, a 200 foot tape measure and of coarse my trusty Garrett AT Max metal detector and my Garrett Pro pin pointer AT. Roberts neighbor had a nice white PVC fence along the side of his property and had correctly installed it leaving Robert’s corner marker fairly easy to locate. The two pins by the front sidewalk were also easy to find and then we went to the back left corner where there were two pins…buried under a pile of dead brush! With the tape measure and a little old fashion calculations we were able to uncover the last two pins and Mr Robert was very relieved and thankful to have them all found and well marked!

Do you need your property stakes or water valve located? Give me a call or text me ASAP and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Lost Wedding Ring at Newport Beach, CA. Found and Returned to Owner

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

Timing is important to be successful finding a ring at the beach.. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man ..


*** Karla was enjoying a day at Newport Beach, CA. when she lost her diamond engagement ring in the sand. She had taken off her ring to apply sunscreen, setting the ring on her towel for the moment. Something distracted her and she didn’t remember to put it back on her finger. While picking up her items to leave the beach, she realize that her ring was missing. Of course, she took time to try to find it by dragging her fingers through the sand which proved to be frustrating.

She went to her smart phone and googled how to find a ring in the sand and eventually found my contact information. I was able to meet her on the beach shortly after we talked. Our conversation was short, once she told me, she lost it in the sand, and she was still at the location. That was all I needed to know. It is more important to meet her on the beach as soon as possible, than to waste time discussing the small details.

After so many years of finding sentimental keepsakes for people, I’m used to seeing the despair and people’s faces when they think they’ve lost the item forever, especially wedding rings. Karla was no exception. The first thing I told her was, not to worry, this should be an easy recovery.

It only took a few minutes, and I had her beautiful diamond ring in my scoop.  The success of this search was because Karla realized her ring was missing before she left the beach. Secondly, she did not spend too much time trying to recover the ring by hand sifting the sand. The most important thing she did was call a professional Metal Detecting service.

While metal detecting on the beach I was approached by two beautiful young ladies who asked if I could help them find a lost necklace in the dry sand. Apparently Jenna had removed her chain and wrapped it in the corner of her towel and then after a short swim she grabbed her towel to dry off and totally forgot about her necklace. The soft sand swallowed up her chain and she exclaimed..”Now what?” And a short time later she spotted me walking along swinging my metal detector and had the courage to ask me for some help…and I am always ready and willing to help people find their lost items. It only took a few minutes to get a good solid signal and the young ladies were all smiles!

I was sent Jaylene’s plea for help by Robert Lyman, a fellow ring finder in Nebraska, who spotted her post on Facebook and forwarded her information to me. So I contacted Jaylene to see if I could help her and she was very thankful for the offer. Come to find out she has been going through a rough time and will be moving from her house the end of February. In March of 2025 her young son had picked up her engagement ring and threw it out into the back yard and she was beside herself just thinking about having to move away without ever seeing her ring again…ever! So when I called and offered my help she was absolutely thrilled that there actually might be a chance to see her lost ring again!

I truly believe that miracles still do happen…so I asked God to use me and lead me to her ring and it only took minutes to find her lost ring and I think she cried for the next 2 days straight! She was so overwhelmed with gratitude and I cannot thank God enough for guiding me to her door and then to find her lost ring!

Campbell had gotten married just a few months earlier and as a lot of young men love to do…he enjoys sports and one of his favorites is flag football. And another thing that young married men like to do is wear their wedding ring all the time. So when I received his call about needing my help to find his lost wedding ring I knew that normally these kinds of searches can take a long time…because of having to cover such a large area. The first thing we did was to contact the park authorities to get the proper permission and the gentleman we talked to was very helpful and even offered to help us look the field over. It was a very well maintained field with short grass and it was only a matter of minutes before Campbell’s lost ring was found!

Rather than trying to rent a metal detector why not contact the best metal detecting service in Orlando and the Central Florida area and call theringfinders.com. Look in the directory for a metal detecting specialist near you and give us a chance to help you.

Lost Silver Chain, 2 Lost Gold Rings Found in House by Dowsing in Detroit Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Happy Valentines Day!..

I got a call from Derrick’s mom saying that she went and got some jewelry out of lay away that Derrick bought for himself. She wanted to surprise him. So, about a week ago she got it home and misplaced it somewhere. Meeting today Derrick thought I was searching for his mom’s lost jewelry. Mom had to go to work for a bit but recalled the jewelry was in a certain room in the house, so I started there. I chose to bait my dowsing antenna rod with silver as the chain was the most massive of the targets sought. I swept the rod left to right and right to left. The antenna locked in a certain direction in the room. Stepping a few feet over to triangulate, the rod locked again so we had a narrower area to look. Using my pin pointer metal detector, I passed it thru and around some items where the antenna rod pointed. It wasn’t long before the metal detector buzzed that something was nearby. As I reach into the clutter I’ll call it, I felt a small envelope that was heavy when I pulled it out, Derrick was thrilled but didn’t open it. I was not sure all the items were in the one envelope, so I searched again with the pin pointer and got another signal not far from the first. Reaching in again I pulled out another small envelope. I thought that this was the lost jewelry envelopes so I said to Derrick that maybe he should open them. Opening the heavy one he about fainted when he saw that it was his silver chain. Opening the second envelope revealed his 2 gold rings with a note that read: To Derrick with love, from mom!

Lost & Found: Lindsey’s Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Lake Conroe

Lost & Found: Lindsey’s Texas A&M Class Ring Recovered from Lake Conroe

Lindsey’s Memorial Day weekend at Lake Conroe took an unexpected turn when she lost her cherished Texas A&M class ring right off the dock behind her family’s lake house. She shared that she was trying to get onto a paddleboard when she lost her balance and slipped off into the water. As she swam back toward the dock—just a few feet away—she felt her class ring slide off her finger and sink to the sandy lake bottom, about five feet below.
Her family made several determined attempts to recover the ring, diving down and feeling along the murky lake floor, but it soon became clear the task was far more difficult than they had imagined. Lindsey said that after countless efforts and no success, she had come to terms with the loss and even ordered a replacement ring from Texas A&M.
However, fate had other plans.
During the Fourth of July weekend, Lindsey came across a post online about a Texas A&M ring I had recently recovered from Lake Conroe through Houston Metal Detecting Services. That story sparked new hope, and Lindsey immediately sent me a text message, asking if there was any chance her ring could be found.
She provided excellent details about the location and exactly how the ring was lost—information that’s often crucial in these kinds of searches. And as any Aggie would understand, it wasn’t just about the monetary value—she wanted her ring back, not a replacement.
We set plans in motion to meet on Sunday and search for her ring. As soon as I got on site, it was clear we had a great shot at success. And sure enough, after carefully searching the area she described, I was able to recover Lindsey’s original Texas A&M class ring from the sandy bottom of Lake Conroe.
As you can see from the photos, it turned out to be a great day for everyone—especially Lindsey, who now has her beloved ring back where it belongs!

The Search for Colin’s Texas A&M Class Ring: A Lake Conroe Recovery Story

The Search for Colin’s Texas A&M Class Ring: A Lake Conroe Recovery Story
Colin’s Texas A&M class ring meant more to him than just a piece of jewelry. It symbolized years of hard work, dedication, and a milestone in his life that marked his college achievements. So when he lost it during an outing with friends on Lake Conroe, the frustration was palpable.
It happened on a sunny day as Colin and his friends were enjoying a day on the water. They docked the boat at a local marina, and while assisting in tying off the boat, his class ring slipped off his finger. Before he could even react, the ring plunged deep into the murky waters of Lake Conroe, disappearing into the depths where visibility was nearly nonexistent. The water was about 16 feet deep, but with zero visibility, any attempt to locate the ring seemed almost impossible.
Despite several attempts by people who tried to dive down and recover it, the darkness of the water swallowed any hope of success. The ring remained lost, and the group reluctantly gave up after trying everything they could.
When Colin contacted me about the loss, we knew it would be a difficult task. We spent the next three weeks coordinating our schedules, preparing for what would be a challenging recovery mission. Lake Conroe, known for its murky waters, would be no easy place to search for a small object like a class ring. However, Colin was determined to get his treasured possession back, and so was I.
Finally, the day arrived. We met at the marina early in the morning. Colin walked me through the area where he had lost the ring, explaining in detail the circumstances leading up to its disappearance. We discussed the previous unsuccessful attempts and agreed on a clear search strategy. I would handle the underwater side of the operation, while Colin took responsibility topside.
The lake was calm that morning, but the visibility below the surface was as bad as we had expected—zero. The dark water seemed to stretch on endlessly in every direction. Armed with my metal detector and a sense of purpose, I entered the water. The coolness of the lake water enveloped me as I slowly descended. At 16 feet, I reached the bottom and began to methodically search the area.
With each swing of the metal detector, I remained focused, knowing the importance of every pass through the silt-covered floor. The ring had to be down there somewhere.
Minutes passed. Then, as I carefully swept the detector along the lakebed, a faint but unmistakable signal rang through my headphones. I carefully shifted some debris and sand through my hand, and there it was—Colin’s Texas A&M class ring.
I surfaced, holding the ring triumphantly. Colin’s eyes lit up as I handed it to him. His smile was priceless, a combination of relief and gratitude. “I can’t believe you found it,” he said, almost in disbelief.
The recovery had been a challenge, but in the end, it was worth every moment of effort. Colin was reunited with his cherished class ring, and I was reminded once again of the importance of what we do—helping people recover precious memories, even from the darkest depths of the water.
