If you’re looking for a metal detector in the Miami Beach area because you lost something like a ring, earring, necklace, give me a call, LOUIS, 305-608-1870. I run a metal detecting service and can come out and find it for you. In the pictures below, Ray lost his Platinum wedding band on the beach and after looking for it for a while, he found my information on the internet and I was able to go out and find it for him in a few minutes.
Here is the story in Nikolai’s own words. “It was the fourth of July and my wife and I were visiting her parents in Orlando, Florida after our honeymoon in Mexico. We were out tubing on Lake Conway and I had put my wedding band and Julianne’s wedding band and engagement ring on my necklace for safe keeping to not lose them in the water. Upon returning to Julianne’s parents lake house I took off my necklace and removed the rings and kept them in my hand while Julianne went up to the house to change. At the same time Julianne’s father was attempting to light the first firework of the night on the beach, which was a fountain with 7 individual small mortar shots. He couldn’t get the wick to light due to some minor wind so naturally I came over to help. I cupped my hands around the lighter to shield it from the wind. I noticed something shiny drop into one of the mortar holes but didn’t think much of it, thinking it was just some left over reflective paper from the firework. The wick lit and the firework went off. At that moment I realized I was only holding two rings (mine and Julianne’s wedding bands) and not 3 rings! Julianne’s engagement ring was missing! I frantically looked around in the sand and everywhere else I stood from the point I had taken the necklace off to when I noticed the ring was gone. Then I remembered the shiny thing that dropped into the firework and was mortified that I might’ve dropped my wife’s engagement ring into the firework and launched it somewhere! We did not find the ring that night. The next day I searched on the internet for ways to find lost rings. The search came up with mostly metal detector sales but also yielded a site called “theringfinders.com” that facilitated a group of individuals all over the United States that help with finding lost items of value. I was able to type in the zip code and a profile appeared of someone local that could help find my wife’s lost engagement ring. His name was Mike McInroe. I was able to call him and set up a time for him to come by that same day. Upon arrival he explained the purpose of the ring finders and the organizations history. He brought along his metal detector and flags and proceeded with his investigation by placing them in the areas I remembered being prior to losing the ring. He then spent the next 3 hours with his metal detector meticulously searching the entire beach area for the ring, including 10 feet into the shallow waters of Lake Conway. He did not find the lost engagement ring: but unfortunately had to halt the search for the day due to bad weather conditions. That evening Mike called me and we continued to brainstorm on what else we could do to help with the search. I told him of my fear of having possibly dropped the ring into the firework and that the ring could be anywhere. We then came up with the idea of recreating the scene. I was able to find the exact same firework used that night and was able to purchase two the next morning. Mike came back and brought along some fake dummy rings which he attached red ribbons to. We then placed the firework in the same spot that it had fired off from and added multiple of the dummy rings into it so that we would be able to follow the possible trajectory of where they landed in order to give us a clue of where Julianne’s ring could have landed. We launched 3 rings and all landed around 4 feet apart from each other about 10 to 15 feet out into the water. We then repeated the same test with the second firework and those 3 rings also landed in the same general area. Mike threw on his wet suit and went out to that area in search of our missing engagement ring. 15 minutes went by and after about the 4th scoop from the lake floor, he looked over and gave us a thumbs up with a big smile. He found our lost ring! We are so thankful that we were able to recover our ring with Mike’s help as it had meant so much to both Julianne and myself. We highly recommend utilizing the service of The Ring Finders, it is an amazing organization and they do great work! Nikolai and Julianne”

This ring find began when I was texted that a ladies cousin lost his wedding band on the beach. I sent my phone number and Alan from Chicago, Illinois reached out yesterday and told me that he lost the gold wedding band when he was playing with his cousins in shallow water at Obama’s Beach in Waimanalo. He wasn’t sure when it came off but he had remained in a confined area. With the hurricane approaching and Alan leaving the next day back to Chicago I agreed to meet him early this morning for the hunt. The area is protected by a coral rock breakwater so after Alan drew the extreme grid lines in the sand I started my search in the calm lagoon. I detected some lead fishing weights and some copper bullet jackets so figured the ring would still be here. On the second leg of the grid solid 17-18 on the Nox and on the second scoop there was Alan’s Gold Wedding Band in the scoop. Alan was obviously ecstatic as I called to him on the shore that I had found his wedding band. Vacation saved! Alan returning to Chicago with Wedding Band back on his finger. Aloha to Alan and his family!
Courtney was playing fetch with her dog outside their hotel. She felt it go and he heard it bounce. After looking for an hour, they contacted me. I was able to get the ring back on her finger within the hour. Good timing too as they were leaving for home that same day.

Samit called about a beautiful pendant his daughter had lost, just minutes before, when when she noticed her chain had broken. He was very concerned, there were storms all around, the tide was rising, and they were getting ready to head home after a nice day at the beach. I was at a family party, but arranged to meet him in 45 minutes. Once I arrived he showed me the exact area she was in when she noticed her broken chain, and missing pendant. I searched that area pretty quickly with no luck. Samit then showed me the small area in the water where it could have possibly fallen, and I started in the deepest area, working small tight sweeps. About 5 paths up the hill I got a real nice faint signal, and it sounded pretty promising. I dug one DEEP hole hoping to have it in the first scoop. Sure enough, I dumped it out, kicked away some sand, and the bright red ruby was poking out. The entire family was shocked I was able to find it. Luckily it stayed very close to the spot it fell. Another happy ending. 
Paul called about a very sentimental cross and pendant that was lost on the beach the night before. He explained that this was the first thing his son had given to his girlfriend, and it would be fantastic if I would be able to find it for them. They lost it the night before after taking it off and placing it on the blanket. I was up there the next morning, made one path along the high tide line where the blanket was laying, and sure enough, I had it in my scoop. I sent some pics to Paul, but he was busy and didn’t see them till later. He was absolutely amazed I was able to find them, and said his son isn’t going to believe it, they figured it was gone into the ocean forever. I made arrangements to meet him a few days later. Paul and his wife are going to figure out a way to totally surprise them, I believe next weekend. 
This ring was found and returned at Wrightsville beach NC on 7-16-2023.
On 6-24-2023 I received a message from a fellow detectorist friend Paulie Desarno who lives at the beach about a post he saw on the beach about a lost ring reported lost in the tide. As metal detectorist we love helping people if we can. This post however was very specific which could be good for the the lady who lost the ring or very bad. The reason it was good was it could increase her chance of getting it back quickly if the right person recovered it. The bad thing was it included to much information in the public post which could result in every detectorist in the area flocking there that might find it and keep it. Not everyone is honest. My advice is as soon as you loose something to mark the area and call a professional immediately to help .
Anyway getting to the story. I decided to search for the ring to help return it. I searched the dry all through the night to eliminate that area first and the next morning I was still there working the low tide when a friend of the lady came on the beach and we spoke about the ring. She explained her friend was a little further out in waist deep water when it was lost. This was helpful information because I wanted to find this ring before the wrong person did that might not return it. I searched longer but couldn’t recover it. I decided to keep coming back to look even though I new the ring could have been found by someone else already but being that the ring was in the water there still was a chance no one found it. I made the trip several times over the next several days continuing to focus on the area of interest at low tide with the hope of finding it. After several days of searching I was further out in the water in about 5 feet of water on a sand bar when I got the signal. I was just using my detector and snorkel at this point when I went under to retrieve it. It was a ring fitting the description. I notified confirmed and returned the ring. This was not a easy search since it took a few weeks and at one point was a king tide which could of took the ring away. Several days looking, and over 72 hours of combined searching. The ring was returned and I was happy to help.
This ring find began when Taryn from Hawaii Kai reached out and told me her husband Jeremy had lost his Rose Gold Wedding Band in shallow water at Aulani’s Lagoon. He had been brushing the sand off his leg when the ring fell off in shallow water. I had nothing going on so I told Taryn I’d grab my gear and head down. She told me they had already left after searching for at least an hour and were heading back to Hawaii Kai. We discussed the details to the lost location and I told her I would call after the hunt. Thankfully, when I arrived the area was clear of beachgoers and I was able to start my grid search in earnest. I had detected this area the day before and it was sterile. Then about 20 minutes into the hunt “Boom!” 15-17 on the Nox and I knew it was the ring. However the thinness of the ring allowed the sand to push it away from my scoop at least six times. Finally, I had the target in the scoop and it was indeed Jeremy’s ring. I rinsed off and went back to my car and texted a pic of the ring asking, “This one?” Response was “YES!!!” We agreed to meet at the Jack Lord Bust at Kahala Mall for the return. Smiles all around. Aloha to Taryn & Jeremy!
Like all good home owners Sarah was tending to the needs of her lawn. With her weed wacker in hand, Sarah had the forethought to stash her phone and 14k necklace in her brazier. After doing a bit of trimming by the fence Sarah walked over by a row of bushes. Her phone was needing her attention so she removed it from where it was stashed. Upon pulling the phone out the necklace that was wrapped around it got caught. With a quick tug the necklace broke. Freezing from the sudden snap, Sarah knew she shouldn’t move a muscle. Sarah called for her hubby Matt and he came over to give Sarah a pat down. After shaking her clothes, looking in and around her wardrobe, only left Sarah puzzled about where her pendant went. Both of the neighbors to the left and right came over to help, one with a metal detector and one with flood lights. Four hours went by with no luck finding the pendant. The neighbors to the left of Sarah’s house suggested she find someone to hire who had a metal detector. On the Google machine Sarah typed metal detecting services. My name and number popped up to the top of the list. A text, a phone call and the next morning, I made my way to Idaho. Arriving to Sarah’s house I met Matt and he showed me where the chain broke. Sarah had step out for a bit so I quickly got to work scanning the ground. The worst thing happened when I turned on my machine, the uncoordinated sound of EMI came through my head phones. Quickly I turned down the sensitivity, ground balanced, and ran the noise calculation. All of these adjustments proved useless. I put on a smaller coil to mitigate the EMI. Nope, the sounds of the interference still rang out. So on my hands and knees I went. With my Garret carrot I made sweeps left and right, top to bottom. This also failed to locate her pendant. Thinking maybe her pendant was flung I expanded the search while still fighting the EMI. With hopes fading I asked if she had another piece of gold that I could scan. To my surprise this test showed my detector was not able to pick up that small piece of gold. I know for a fact that the Eqinox can detect small gold so it had to be the large EMI presence killing its ability. Flipping through the frequencies didn’t help out the detector. The only remedy was to put the detector in prospecting one mode. I finally was able to get a hit on her other piece of gold. However researching the area didn’t reveal her pendant. I knew the EMI was still killing my detectors ability. So I asked if we could turn off the power to the house to cool off the underground power lines. After doing that I switched my detector to prospecting two and adjusted the sensitivity up until I got a good repeatable single on Sarah’s other piece of gold. One last search of the area where the chain broke gave me a new signal. One without EMI blocking it. With my pinpointer out I saw the unique shape of Sarah’s pendant sticking slightly out of the mud. Completely relieved I smiled and gave a fist pump at the porch where Sarah and my wife were sitting. Shocked Sarah made her way over to hold the pendant that was right under our feet. Luckily my 21 years of metal detecting experience gave me the wisdom to push past the EMI and find what was lost.
