*** Laura was on her vacation with her family visiting Newport Beach. She called me the day after closing her white gold Cartier Love Bracelet. Her call came about noon which concerned me as this beach gets a daily sifting by the beach cleaning crew. Objects as large as a bangle type bracelet can be picked up by the sifting machine or moved a distances from the loss zone.

Like many people, Laura had no idea of how a metal detector works, so I took a few minutes to demonstrate. We discussed where she had been the day she realized her precious bracelet went missing. I told her I would be removing all metal signals as I did the grid search and this is a tedious process that may take a couple hours. It is not something that she has to stand by to help. She could go about her day on the beach and I would let her know when and if I found the bracelet.

About an hour into the rather large search area, I got the perfect signal. I was almost positive that this was the treasure I had been searching for. One scoop with my sand scoop prove this was Laura’s White Gold Cartier Love Bracelet. I walked over to where she had set up her beach chair at the waters edge to present her with the bracelet. Always a very emotional moment and definitely hard to express the reaction we get when we can return an item that they believed was lost forever.. 

I provide a mobile metal detecting service for all of Orange County and Los Angeles County. Basically any of the Southern California cities.. Call or text now for service or information on how this works… Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE

Glasses recovered SCUBA diving, EZ Cruz Marina, Woodbridge VA by Rob Ellis

Recovered By Master SCUBA Instructor Rob Ellis

 

Found May 16th, 2023

Erik was enjoying the day at EZ Cruz Marina, when a gust of wind took his hat and prescription glasses. With help from his friends, Erik tried using a long-handled net to scoop the glasses. Visibility, rocks, and depth made netting his glasses impossible. Sharon, the manager from EZ-Cruz marina, remembered that I recovered a ring last year and gave Erik my contact information.

A weighted Drop Line for Reference

When Erik called, he told me exactly how and where the glasses entered the water. He even sent me photos with drawings.

Gear Preparation

 

My divemaster (AKA: my wonderful wife) and I checked in with the marina office. We assessed the conditions and finalized how to conduct the search. We dropped a weighted “down line” from the dock to mark the center of the search area where the glasses fell into the water. The easiest entry was from the shore, with a hundred-yard swim. We attached a safety rope after reviewing tender-diver signals.

 

 

 

Most dock bottoms have a lot of metal debris, so I tethered the detector at the surface for my first search by gentle touch and use of a Garrett Pinpointer.

As I descended into the murky water, I lost all visibility at about 5 feet. I hit bottom at about twelve feet, and it was dark, very dark. Even my flashlight wouldn’t penetrate the murky water. I very carefully used my fingertips and pinpointer with a search pattern using the drop line as a reference. Within just a few minutes, I felt a pair glasses and carefully put them in my bag. There are always a lot of sunglasses around docks, and I wasn’t sure these were Erik’s. I ascended, gave the bag to my wife who compared them to a picture Erik had provided. She told me they were the right ones by signaling me the OK sign.

Erik Smiling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were so glad to return Erik’s glasses. The actual search by touch took less than ten minutes. But the preparation, planning for the search & recovery, and clean-up took several hours. It was worth it to return such a nice young man’s glasses.

Gold Pendant Worn for 27 Years Lost at Pacific AirShow Huntington Beach, CA. Found in Sand

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

 

If you lost something in the sand, call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Nick lost his gold pendant that he had worn every day for 27 years. He had been attending the Pacific AirShow at Huntington City Beach,CA. Part of the beach has cabanas set up for VIP viewing.The loss occurred somewhere within three areas in or near the VIP seating. 

Nick called me an hour before the airshow was to end. Masses of people leaving the area could hamper my chances of getting to the location to do a search. I jumped in my car right away and was able to get there before the rush to exit. 

Security wouldn’t let us into the cabana area until it was clear of guests. I asked Nick where he had changed his shirt. He pointed to an outer sandy spot just outside the entrance to VIP seating. I had time to do a quick scan of that location, just part of the process of elimination. He had no idea where the chain had come off his neck.. 

Within a short half a dozen swings of my detector “BOOM” short solid signal in my earphones turned out to be Nick’s very sentimental gold pendant that he had worn for 27 years. I could see the look on his face, he had figured it was lost forever and now there was a miracle. His pendant was back. Every recovery is an adventure. The bonus is meeting people like Nick. It was my pleasure to be available to help him.

Lost Tungsten Wedding Band Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began just as I finished dinner when Giovanni who was on vacation from Maryland texted, “Are you available to retrieve a lost ring on Oahu?  We are here until Friday.”  I immediately called knowing the sundown hunters would be combing the beach.  Gio told me he was in waist deep water at the Kuhio Beach lagoon when while catching a football his silver colored tungsten Wedding Band came off and disappeared in the sand.  A few beachgoers pitched in but were unsuccessful in finding the ring.  I told Gio I would grab my gear and head down to the zoo to park and we could meet at the beach.  After I parked Gio and his lovely wife Shelia met me in the parking lot and we drove to a near by parking spot near where the ring came off at Kuhio Beach.  Gio directed me to the spot he was thinking 5 feet from the breakwater.  It was pitch dark but I was able to use the hotel windows and the wall as markers.  I hunted along the wall to about 15 feet from the wall.  On the return leg I found a screaming 14K Rose Gold Wedding band but not Gio’s ring.  I went back ashore and discussed the depth of the water and Gio figured he must have been farther away from the wall.  It was pitch dark but the Manticore light was enough to see what I was doing and I decided to try an in and out grid to get more distance from the wall.  On about the fourth leg I got a screamer on the Beast and in two scoops Gio’s large size Tungsten Band was in the scoop.  Gio and Shelia were very appreciative of the successful hunt and drove me back to my car at the zoo.  We had a few laughs and a hug and they promised me a selfie when they got back to their room.  See those smiles above…its what I love!  Aloha to Giovanni and Shelia!

Will Smiles!

Last fall, Will was doing yard work when he realized his ring was missing. He had been mowing his beautiful yard and thought it might have slipped off while emptying the grass catcher. While he was reading Reddit articles, Will came across one mentioning one of my recoveries. He texted me, and we set an appointment on a lovely day to conduct a search.

Search Area

There It Is!

 

 

Will showed me where he dumped his grass clippings in his back yard. There were a number of reasonable target IDs in the area, and each one had to be identified. After a long search through the piles of debris with a rake and shovel, I expanded the area to go under low tree branches and around large stones. Finally, I heard a clean signal (with a VDI of 15). Gently scraping the leaves away, the ring appeared!

Lost Pendant Found in Lincoln RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

On November 15, 2023, I received a call from Allison, who lost a beautiful onyx pendant while visiting Chase Farm in Lincoln.  She decided to search the internet for help and found my information.  She asked for my help to find her lost pendant.  The next day, I met her at the farm where she had lost the pendant.  It was a large area.  Allison told me that her chain broke and showed me two different areas of the farm where the pendant could be. I search the first area and didn’t find the pendant.  After searching the second area with no success, I started thinking that someone may have found it already.  That’s when I decided to expand the search beyond these two areas, and I found the pendant.  Frequently, lost items are not in the area where you think they are lost, and you have to search outside the box.  It’s a good thing I did.  As you can see, Allison was delighted to have the pendant back.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found in Rehoboth MA

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Dick, who told me he had lost his gold wedding band while doing some work in his yard.  The ring was lost while he was putting up a temporary fence around an area of the lawn that had just been seeded in order to keep their sweet dog out of the area.  After the fence was installed, Dick realized that he had lost his wedding ring in the process.  He decided to search the internet for help, and that’s when he found me.  When I arrived at Dick’s house, he showed me the area where he had installed the fence.  I searched the area for about an hour and found Dick’s ring.  He couldn’t believe that it had been recovered.  Dick, and his wife of over 40 years, were very happy that the ring was back on his hand where it belonged.

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Ring at Nai’a Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Chad who was on a family vacation from Bountiful, Utah and staying at the Marriot Beach Club at Ko Olina.  While Chad and his lovely wife Wendy were playing catch with a football in the shallow waters of Nai’a Lagoon, Wendy noticed her ring was missing from her finger.  Not knowing exactly when it fell off the search area was rather large but only waist high and the tide was going out.  Chad passed the phone to Wendy for some more details about the search.  I just had lunch arrive but as soon as I was finished I told Wendy I’d pack up and be right over.  Traffic was excellent so the ride from Kaimuki to Ko Olina was just over 30 minutes.  When I arrived Wendy & Chad showed me on the beach where to start and the grid search began.  After about 30 minutes I got a nice tone and there in the scoop was a yellow 14k gold ring but not Wendy’s.  Wendy and Chad came down to the beach and I showed them what I had found.  Obviously not what they wanted to see but I was getting close to the end of the search area and getting hopeful.  About 4 more grid lines.  Then on the second to last grid line I got another amazing tone on the Manticore and on the second scoop Wendy’s stunning Diamond packed Platinum ring was finally recovered.  I yelled over to them in the beach chairs, “Got it for sure this time!”  Wendy and Chad were exhaustedly relieved and we shook hands and hugged.  Me wishing I had started from the other end and not making them wait so long.  Success is bliss!  Much Aloha to Wendy & Chad!
