DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

Claudia called me the other day and told me she lost her Diamond engagement ring when her house burned down in the Palisades fire. she put it away in a shirt pocket in the closet.  I followed her and her husband to the property the next day. She showed me were the closet should have been before the fire. I spent about fifteen minutes throwing some heavy pipes and  metal debris out of the way. I  began sifting with a two part screen so I could remove larger pieces of metal and rubble which would allow me to spot a smaller ring in the bottom screen. after a little more than another hour I spotted the ring. I called Claudia’s husband over to show him the ring quietly so he could surprise  his wife. He carried the ring over hidden in his hand. He told her it was a button that she might recognize. When he opened his hand she let out a  scream and did a little happy dance. It was a great feeling to see the couple so happy and surprised. They were a very nice couple. and it was my pleasure to be able to reunite them with there special ring.

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

If you need information or help to find a lost ring or other important metalic item call or text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136


*** Joey contacted me needing help to find a diamond engagement his wife lost in ankle deep water at a Southern California Beach. I told him we only had a few hours before high tide. I suggested that he call another detector guy closer to the location.  If the guy couldn’t do the search, call me back.

Joey called me back giving me the general area. I said it would take me about an hour and half to get there. It would be necessary to be able to have Monique present to hear her describe how and where the loss occurred.

We all showed up at the same time. The tide was low enough to use the detector without getting wet.

Monique’s beautiful diamond engagement ring was exactly where she had been collecting sea shells, already 2” deep in wet sand.

Timing is very important especially for losses that happen on public beaches with tides that change from minus -1.0 ft. low tide to plus + 5.6 ft. high tide.

Don’t waste your time renting or buying a cheap metal detector. If you don’t have any experience operating one, it could be very frustrating. Let me come to you with the best equipment available and experience for recovering all types of sentimental keepsakes. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. Mobile metal detecting service .. 949-500-2136

He was devastated not only to lose his home of over thirty years but a high end watch collection that took a lifetime to buy. one watch at a time. I met him a few days later and followed him to his property. He showed me the possible locations of his bedroom were the watches were proudly  displayed in a fancy box .  I cut away part of the walls that had collapsed on the area. then began raking and shoveling the debris through a sifting screen. within an hour I started finding Vincent’s watches , one then another then another and so on until I had found all thirty watches including the  four expensive Rolexes and his grandfathers pocket watch. He was amazed that I found all of them. I had to cut away more of the plaster and chicken wire wall before I could search for his wife’s jewelry. within another half hour I found her diamond ring a gold star Saphire ring and two gold bracelets.  I finished the day off with finding most of Vincent’s  silver  coin collection . He thanked me over and over and told me now he had some closure after the disaster and how he was ready to turn the property over to the Army Core Of Engineers to remove all the debris and clear the lot.

Property Pin located in West Kelowna BC

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

June moved into her West Kelowna home 1 year ago, now it is time to start renovations, starting with a fence. However it is not a new home and the Survey pins are hidden, June found me on “The Ringfinders” and gave me a call for assistance. I responded the next day with my Metal Detector. the lot is an odd shape so the backyard was difficult to locate, the front yard had a large tree on both fronts, the one on the left was overgrown, the one on the right was large but groomed back. I stated searching by the utilities and Water shut off. A few old targets, but no pin so I moved around the supposedly neighbours tree and there it was 12 inches away from the tree. Now June can get a lot blueprint and measure from that pin.

Hierloom Gold Diamond Pendant.. Lost in Grass .. Fountain Valley, CA.

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

 


*** Finding a gold diamond pendant in the grass at a public park can be challenging, especially in the dark. Celine called for help to find her sentimental pendant that was a gift from her grandmother and she has worn it everyday for years.

It was dark when I received the call. Celine told me she was in a Fountain Valley neighborhood park with her dog. Her dog playfully jumped up with its paws braking her gold necklace. The pendant flew off into deep grass.

During our conversation she asked if she could meet me the next day after she got home from work.  I would rather meet her as soon as possible, so I could get the location pinpointed. If it didn’t show up in the dark. I could resume the search the next day while she was at work.

I met her with her neighbor  and his metal detector. He was unable to locate the pendant. My equipment was able to locate the pendant shortly after I started the grid search. I’m sure the neighbor could have found it, but she had him searching the wrong location. This is more common than most inexperienced ringfinders know. It always important to ask the important questions. Celine was more than happy to have her pendant back.

I also took time to show her neighbor  that his detector would have found it if he was in the right location.

Ring Lost Doing Yard Work: Recovered by Rob Ellis, Fairfax, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Kathy contacted me to help locate her one-of-a-kind wedding band. She lost it in her backyard over a month ago while doing yardwork. This work included covering her rose bushes for the winter. I gathered my rake, grid search lines, heavy gloves, detectors, and headed to her home.

The yard consisted of the area where Kathy cut the covering material for the rose bushes and a lower terrace containing the 10 rose bushes. Kathy showed me how she’d moved about the yard, trimming the bushes, cutting the covering material and pointing out other areas of the yard in which she worked. She took me to the place she transitioned from the lower terrace, climbing a 4-foot wall to the flat area where she cut the winter cover material. It took some time to gather the information, but it really paid off when I began to search.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started at the spot where Kathy had climbed the wall. I turned on and calibrated my detector, swung it over the grass, and heard a clear gold tone. I found Kathy’s beautiful ring as I completed my first swing of the machine!! This isn’t the first time I’ve found a ring right away. I give credit to luck and Kathy’s excellent description of her movements throughout her yard.

 

For my fellow detectorists:

Target IDs of this 10-gram, 14k gold ring: Deus 2=85, Equinox 800=21, Equinox 900=62.

Two Small Diamond Stud Earrings Recoveref at San Clemente State Beach

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

Another successful recovery after calling a member of the Ringfinders .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. Call or text for prompt response  24/7 .. 949-500-2136


*** Erin needed help finding a set of two diamond stud earrings. After a quick conversation with him, I believed the loss occurred in a totlot play area. He sent me an address to get me to the place where he could meet me. It was possible to meet him before dark, so I left for the 24 mile drive soon after talking to him.

When I got to the address, it was actually San Clemente State Beach. Erin cleared up my idea that I would be searching a small totlot. He had to walk me out on the main beach. I noticed that he was having trouble finding where he been. He was sure that the earrings had been on his towel and they dropped in the sand when he picked up the towel.

He started me in one area, but soon grabbed me moving me 50 ft. to the south. I’m glad I was using my high frequency metal detector and the earrings still had backings on. ( more metal ) Many times we have a second earring to check our settings are correct for finding small jewelry.

It did take a few minutes to find both earrings. They were more than 15 feet from each other. A big beach area could be a much more difficult search than a small totlot. Erin was very happy and excited to have these sentimental earrings found. They were given to him by his mother who had recently passed away.

A Lost Treasure Found: A Heartwarming Search for a Cherished Ring

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes, even the smallest objects can hold the deepest meaning. Recently, I was called upon to help locate a sentimental treasure—a wedding ring lost during a joyful moment in the yard.

It all started when I received a message from someone whose wife had accidentally lost her ring while playing with their dog. We coordinated a time for me to visit and assist in the search. Arriving a little earlier than planned, I noticed an area of the yard where the grass had been raked—a sure sign that others had already been combing through for clues.

With my equipment in hand, I began my search, methodically scanning the area. About twenty minutes in, something caught my eye before my detector even alerted me—it was the ring, glinting in the grass! Relief washed over me, knowing this cherished item was found.

As I worked, I couldn’t help but notice the watchful eyes of the neighbors. It became clear that this was no ordinary lost-and-found mission; it was a community effort. The neighbors shared in the anticipation, having spent the previous evening searching themselves.

After finding the ring, I walked back to my car and shared the good news with one of the neighbors, who was just as thrilled as I was. Moments later, my client arrived, greeted by smiles from all around. His joy was palpable as he approached me, asking, “You have something for me?” Handing him the ring, I could see the gratitude in his eyes. His heartfelt thankfulness was echoed by his daughter, who was overjoyed that her mother’s ring was back where it belonged.

This experience reminded me of the power of a community coming together and the significance of sentimental treasures. It wasn’t just about the ring; it was about the memories it represented and the love it symbolized. Helping to reunite this family with their precious memento was truly an honor.
