Lost – Silver Grateful Dead Ring, Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I had just wrapped up a hunt in Ormond Beach and decided to make one more stop on the way home. Heading north along the shoreline, I noticed a young man standing still in the shallows. He kept his eyes fixed on the water as small waves rolled past, like he was searching for something more than shells.

When Noah spotted my detector, he walked over and explained that his friend Jay had just lost a ring. You could hear the concern in his voice. I asked a few questions—how long ago, exactly where they were standing—and we narrowed it down to a stretch of beach that was bigger than anyone would’ve liked.

I told him I’d give it a shot.

Starting in the soft, dry sand, I worked my way toward the surf, sweeping slowly and methodically. The sound of the tide, the pull of the current, two-foot waves breaking around me…nothing at first. Just the usual scattered signals.

Then—on the next pass—a solid, clean hit. The kind of tone that makes you stop and pay attention. The numbers lined up with what I’d expect from silver.

I dug.

A ring.

I walked it back to the group and asked them to describe what they’d lost. When they did, there was no doubt.

Bingo.

Smiles, relief, a little disbelief—those moments never get old. Right there on the edge of the Atlantic, with the breeze and the salt air, it turned into one of those days you remember.

God is good.

Lost something important? Maybe I can help. I’m Ed Duffey, a Central Florida metal detecting specialist focused on recovering lost items. Whether it’s a ring, jewelry, keys, or even a phone, I search beaches, parks, yards, and shallow water—just about anywhere it might be hiding.

If it’s metal and it’s lost, there’s a good chance I can find it.

Metal Detector Rental in Nashville

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Why rent a metal detector in Nashville, TN, or anywhere for that matter when you can have an experienced metal detectorist look for your lost treasures. My name is Bryon Elness and I am the TN RingFinder, based in Nashville, TN, but with several successful recoveries in many of the states surrounding TN. Call or text to discuss your metal detecting needs.

On April 28th. 2026 I received a call from a very nice lady named Paula. She had lost her beloved 14K gold brooch on Sunday, April 26th, most likely at her church. The brooch was the most sentimental item that she had received from her late husband, so to her it was priceless. Paula had already alerted the church staff to be on the lookout for her brooch inside the church buildings.

I met with Paula at her church about one hour after receiving her call. She showed me the route that she walked from the entry doors of the church to where she had been parked. I found a gold earring along the path, concealed in the grass, but not Paula’s brooch. Paula turned the earring into the lost and found in the church reception area. Paula asked me help her look inside the church, just to get a fresh pair of eyes to visually search the floors. No luck inside the church.

Once outside, Paula asked if I’d follow her to her friend’s house a few minutes drive away so I could use my metal detector along the path to her friend’s front door. I agreed to the search at her friend’s house, but asked if I could search her vehicle first. She assured me that she had searched her vehicle thoroughly and did not find the brooch. Using my digital borescope I searched under and around the driver’s seat and located Paula’s brooch tucked away, completely hidden from the naked eye. I showed her the screen with the live image of her brooch and she cried tears of joy. When I handed Paula her beautiful brooch she gave me the biggest hug and said, “You made my day! No, I take that back. You made my whole year!” It’s a wonderful feeling to re-unite nice people like Paula with their treasures that they thought were gone forever.

Platinum wedding ring set recovered

  • from Denver (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

When Marissa reached out to me earlier this week, determined to find her wedding ring lost during yard work, I knew we had a challenge ahead. Given the urgency of the situation, I quickly enlisted the expertise of Stephanie Hobbsto take on the search effort as I was not able to get away. Stephanie promptly contacted Marissa, and together they mapped out a plan to scour the yard on Friday. Despite an extensive search that spanned a couple of hours and revisiting some areas multiple times, Stephanie remained optimistic and scheduled a follow-up search for Saturday morning. Undeterred by the obstacles that lay before us – from metal yard edging and woven wire fencing to reinforced concrete and sprinklers – we embarked on a meticulous search. After an hour of searching, I made a few adjustments to my Manticore, methodically working along the wire fence before making my way along the yard edging. Suddenly, a distinct two-tone signal stood out, and with careful excavation, we uncovered the wedding band nestled beneath the mulch. A surge of excitement fueled my next move, and with another swing, the two-tone signal rang out once more, revealing the engagement ring. Overcome with emotion, Marissa’s tears of worry gave way to tears of joy.

Lost – Platinum Diamond Wedding Band, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I had just driven to Daytona for a metal detecting outing when my phone rang. It was Maddie, and there was a clear edge of urgency in her voice—she’d lost her ring while sunbathing in the warm, sugar-soft sand of beautiful New Smyrna Beach.

I told her I could be there soon and not to worry.

When I arrived at the park, Maddie met me at the pavilion and led me to the spot where she and her mom had been sitting, surrounded by the gentle ocean breeze and the sound of waves rolling onto the shore, when the platinum diamond wedding band disappeared.

I powered up the Minelab Manticore and asked a few questions—where exactly she’d been, whether she’d gone into the water. As she talked, I began sweeping parallel to her towel, the coil gliding just above the sun-warmed sand, working my way down toward the driving lane. Nothing. I turned and made another pass up the lane.

Then—there it was. A solid signal. Low tone. VDI of 6. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I dug a small scoop, and within seconds, the diamonds caught the light, sparkling brilliantly as they emerged from the soft sand.

Maddie was overjoyed. Nearby sunbathers gathered around, sharing in the moment, smiles all around under the bright coastal sky. Another lost ring returned, another family relieved.

God is good.

And let me tell you—there ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little dirt under your nails if it means you’re still out here LIVIN’.

So if you see me out in a field lookin’ like I wrestled a gator in a swamp… mind your business. I might just be one beep away from somethin’ good 😉

Lost Sentimental Yellow Gold Earring at Kaiona Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This Earring find began last Wednesday night when I received a text from Kim who lives in the Aliamanu area of Oahu.  She thought it would be either at Kaiona Beach known locally as Obama’s Beach as he has a home nearby or Nuuanu Park.  I missed her follow-up  call as the phone was showing a name I didn’t recognize.  We finally spoke again this morning and decided to meet at the beach around noon.  Kim met me in the parking area along the road and took me to the area of the beach she thought the Earring may have been lost.  She drew a line in the sand and I started a grid search in the water from there.  After about an hour and several possible targets later I was surprised to see her sentimental yellow gold earring in my scoop.  I went to where Kim was sunning on the beach and she met me at the water’s edge.  “Yes that’s it!” she exclaimed excitedly.  She gave me a hug of thanks and relief.  She got the earring from her Mom when she was around five years old. I told her how happy I was to find it in the water as Oahu Parks are terrible to hunt, with all the years of metal party debris in the ground.  Aloha to Kim!

Lost Ring at a Construction Site in Woolwich NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

 

Kevin called me after a friend of one of my successful recoveries referred me. He lost his 

titanium wedding band while at work. He was at a large construction project, working with moving sprinklers & hoses from different lots. It could be on 1 of 4 lots. We agreed on a 6:30 am time for the search.

I met Kevin at the construction site. It is a huge new housing development. He showed me the 4 properties that he was working on. The lots were not that large. I started on the 1st one, no luck. Moved to the second lot, strike 2. The third lot was the biggest, strike 3. But I was not out yet…

The fourth lot, about 5 minutes in, I finally got a good tone. Spread the grass from the newly laid sod, and there was Kevin’s ring. I took some pictures, then called Kevin to come to the 4th lot. He showed up about 5 minutes later. I asked him if there was any other place it might be, he went to the bed of his pickup and started looking there. I held up his ring while we continued to look. The look on his face when he realized that I was holding his ring was priceless. He explained that he was leaving the next day for vacation with his wife & kids to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. 

I asked him what his wife would say when she found out he had his ring back. He decided to FaceTime her while I was there. She couldn’t believe it when he held up the ring for her to see. I hope they had a GREAT vacation!

His wife and him walked the area four times looking for it with no success.  Later that day they were supposed to get upgraded phones with a trade in. Yep that meant that the lost phone now couldn’t be called and tracking it with an app was now impossible.  My son and I along with Joe set out to find it.

Lost Yellow Gold Wedding Band at Four Seasons Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call Friday 17 April from Four Seasons Security asking if I was available to recover a guests ring in the dry sand beach chair area.  They told me their guest would be departing soon, so I would have to mail it to them if found.  Security gave me the contact’s name, Jay,  from Denver, Colorado.  I told security I would hunt first light Saturday morning so that I could move the chairs from the search area and not bother the guests.  After moving the chairs, I started a grid search.  After about 5 minutes, I got a nice low tone under where a beach chair had been and in one scoop there was a yellow gold ring.  I went to my car to text the guest a pic for confirmation.  It certainly was! We verified by the brand name.  “That’s the one!  Thank you very much!”  The post office was still open, so I rushed and packed the ring and Jay received it today in Denver!  Another one for the Book of Smiles!  Aloha to Jay!

Metal detector rental finds lost wedding ring in Sanford Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Do you need a metal detector to find something that is lost in your yard or at the park? Why not hire a professional metal detecting expert instead. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029. On land, in the water, the grass, sand, in cars, in homes…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers and more.

Mrs Patti was doing some yard work pulling weeds and removing all the dead leaves and branches and putting everything into some large garbage bags to be later thrown out. After cleaning everything up she went inside to wash her hands and that is when she noticed that her 47 year old gold wedding ring was not on her finger. She immediately went outside and started going through her garden beds running her hands through the dirt and mulch hoping and praying she could find her lost wedding ring. A neighbor called me and mentioned the situation and I rode over as soon as I could. Mrs Patti was very concerned and explained that she never takes her ring off and was not exactly sure where it went. I assured her that if it was there in the yard I could ver very likely find it for her and not to worry. So I searched all around the plants and combed the dirt and mulch areas well to be sure not to miss even the smallest target, thinking that maybe her ring fell in the dirt and could be up on edge making it more difficult to detect. My last area to check was the two large black garbage bags that were filled with all the debris that was to be thrown out so I laid the first large bag on its side and gently stepped on it to sort of flatten down the contents to make sweeping my metal detector coil more effectively and…Beep, Beep…my detector sounded off on an obvious target that read in the small gold ring range. So I opened the bag and dug through the sticks and leaves and caught a small glimmer of gold! There was Mrs Patti’s lost wedding ring in the trash bag…bound for the garbage but now found and back where it belonged.

How can I help you find something that is lost and seems impossible to find? Call, text or leave me a message and let’s talk and get you the help you so desperately need!
