SCUBA Diving for Lost Watch in Fort Erie Marina

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It’s not every day you get a chance to reunite someone with a prized possession lost to the depths — especially in the murky waters of a marina. But that’s exactly what happened at Point Abino, on the northern shore of Lake Erie.Last week, an Apple Watch slipped off its owner’s wrist while they were docked at the Point Abino Marina. Like many marinas on Lake Erie, the water there isn’t exactly crystal clear — years of boat traffic and natural sediment have left a thick layer of silt that clouds visibility even a few feet below the surface.The owner jumped in to find the watch but came up empty-handed. Not wanting to give up, they brought in a local diver who gave it a go under the same poor conditions. Unfortunately, the silt made visibility nearly impossible, and after several attempts, the watch seemed gone for good.

That’s when we got the call !

With my Garrett Vortex metal detector , I decided to give it a shot. I’ve only used the new Vortex a couple times but  I trusted its precision — even in silty environments.

After scanning the area around the dock where the watch was last seen, and carefully combing the bottom to

avoid stirring up more sediment, I finally got a strong signal. I gently sifted through the muck with my hand and there it was — the unmistakable curve of an Apple Watch band, caked in silt but intact.

It was a rewarding moment. The look on the owner’s face when I handed it back made all the effort worth it. This recovery was a perfect example of how the right tools, patience, and a bit of experience can make the difference between a lost cause and a success story. The Garrett Vortex performed flawlessly, and despite the poor visibility, the Apple Watch made it back to its owner — still functional after its unexpected dive into Lake Erie.

If you’re ever dealing with a recovery in tough underwater conditions, don’t give up too soon. Sometimes, all it takes is the right gear and a little persistence.

Lost Ring Finder .. Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you with prompt professional metal detecting searches. Call or text ASAP.. 949-500-2136


*** I was having my morning coffee when I received a text from Julie. She asked for help to find her wedding ring which got dropped in the sand during her wedding ceremony.  She did say it was lost at Little Corona Delmar Beach which is very close to my home. My problem was I had to be in Malibu by 11am.

  I called Julie to get the best directions, so I could decide if I could fit the search in before driving across Los Angeles to Malibu. Timing is always important, so it was a quick call. The photo of the ceremony on the beach gave me enough background information that helped to make this a successful recovery.

  The small gold diamond ring was found right at the top of the high tide water line. I had time to take a few photos and sent the good news to Julie and Marisa.  Later that afternoon I met them near their home to return the ring and get a photo for the book of smiles on my blog. It was my pleasure to meet them and return such a special ring.

This is not uncommon to lose a ring during a marriage proposal or a wedding ceremony. I love helping to make these special events a happily ever after moment. Call or text for help.. I will try anywhere . 949-500-2136

Englewood Beach Yarmouth, MA Wedding Band Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

June 7, 2025

It was on the fifth day before Dan’s first anniversary that he and his wife were enjoying boating on Cape Cod’s water, visiting a small island and a sandy beach with their granddaughter and family when somewhere along the way his one year old wedding band slipped off his finger.

The previous days of searching did not locate the ring. After hearing of a story of one of my previous finds, Dan’s wife took family recommendation about a group called TheRingFinders and and did a web search. Her search showed 4 entries for Cape Cod and she called me as I had over 200 returns and was the closest to her. Within two hours I was searching for the ring. Dan and Donna showed up about ten minutes into my cursory search. I had gone under the swing set and down to the water’s edge with only one signal, that of a of a penny. We then talked about Dan’s area of walking on the beach and I was close, but I was not close enough. The area were a dinghy was moved to and that of a swing set, where the granddaughter had enjoyed being push by Dan, would need a more thorough search.

I continued my search to the dinghy area and then up to the swing set area, finding a button and another penny on the way. I expanded the area under the sixth swing and very close to a leg of the swing set the best signal of the day rang into my ears. A small scoop into the sand, a quick shake of the scoop and there it was – the ring that would not stay lost for the evening’s anniversary party. What a day for the 78 year old couple, on their first anniversary! A day to remember.

Lost Condo Key Found in the Sand Wildwood, NJ Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

There’s nothing quite like a summer day on the beach in Wildwood, NJ  warm sun, cool waves, and good company. But sometimes, the fun gets interrupted by a small mistake that quickly turns into a big problem. That’s exactly what happened recently when Karen’s son’s friend accidentally lost their condo key on the beach. What started as a game of catch quickly turned into a frantic search in the sand—and that’s when I got the call.

Karen explained that the boys were tossing the key back and forth, not thinking much of it. But one throw went too high, and the key slipped through someone’s fingers and vanished into the soft Wildwood sand. They spent nearly an hour digging around, hoping it would turn up, but it was nowhere to be found. With the sun starting to set and no spare key available, panic started to set in.

Luckily, Karen knew about The Ring Finders South Jersey, and she gave me a call. I was already nearby, and just 10 minutes later, I was on the scene with my metal detector in hand and ready to help.

Wildwood, NJ has a wide beach, and once something small like a key disappears into the sand, it can be nearly impossible to find without the right tools. I asked a few quick questions to pinpoint the general area where the key was lost. The boys had done a good job marking the spot where they last saw it, which made the search much easier.

Within five minutes of scanning the area with my metal detector, I got a solid signal. A few scoops later, and there it was the lost condo key, still partially buried beneath the sand. The look of relief on everyone’s faces was priceless. Karen thanked me repeatedly, saying she had no idea how they would’ve gotten back into the condo if it weren’t for the quick recovery.

This is just one example of how The Ring Finders South Jersey can help when something important goes missing on the beach. Whether it’s a lost ring, key, phone, or other metal item, our tools and experience can often recover what seems lost forever.

Lost Smart Ring Found in Royal Oak Michigan

The One Ring to Rule Them All?…,,,,

…How about a smart ring? Some of the features include health, heart monitoring, and can track where you go, the ad mentioned. This caught Joey’s attention and for a moment his thoughts went back to one of his favorite superheroes….. The Green Lantern and his power ring…. How cool would it be to have something similar but different in the sense of helping change how he could track his health. Further reading checked all the boxes and Joey bought one. But what happed next isn’t your average superhero story. When he called and said he lost his smart ring I asked if it was so smart why did it jump off his finger? lol. He said as he was leaving a little league game it started raining and the ring was lost in a grass area near the parking lot. Using my MXT metal detector it only took a few minutes, and the ring was recovered in the grass. Joey was thrilled that the future was back on his finger, and he was ready again to simplify his life with just a touch. The question remains tho, with all this ring’s monitoring and tracking true love capabilities, are you ready to say I Do with one?
