Platinum Wedding Band, Engagement Ring and Spacer Rings Lost in the Sand, 3 Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On Oct 26th, 2025, and just after 1 pm, I received a text message saying, “Hi Jim! I think I may have lost a set of rings on Ocean Isle beach this weekend. Any chance you’re available to attempt to recover them?” I called the number attached to the text and spoke with Allison. I got a few more details, including the address where she was staying.  I told her I was on my way with my ETA. About halfway there, I received a text from her saying, “We found 1!!!” I replied saying, “OK, how many more?” She replied two! A diamond band and my engagement ring. But they would all be in the same area! I responded, “OK, I’m on my way. If you would be real careful looking for them, because you could move or bury them.” She agreed and they stopped looking.

When I arrived, I met Allison at the beach access, and she walked me down to the suspected area. I also met a number of ladies that were with Allison, I guess they were on a lady’s mini vacation. Allison showed me the small, maybe 10×5 foot area and also told me there were 4 rings. Here Platinum wedding band, Platinum engagement ring, and 2 spacer rings. As I turned on my machine, I looked at her and said, “What do you think, less than 5 minutes?” She looked at me thinking I was nuts and gave a little laugh. I took about 2 steps and hit a strong signal, dug a shallow scoop of sand, shook the sand out of the scoop and had her wedding band. She was behind me, as I took it out of the scoop and reached around to hand it to her. She was shocked. Another step and I hit 2 separate signals and scooped out one of the spacer rings and her engagement ring. She was thrilled. She said she didn’t care about the other spacer ring; it was inexpensive and had no sentimental value to it. I continued looking anyway, as I hate to leave a ring in the sand. After no luck, we called it a success and I left. I had intentions of going back after I came home and had some dinner. I went back and covered the entire area including the walk back and forth from the beach access to where they were set up and still couldn’t find it.

Allison, thank you for calling and trusting me to help find your lost treasures, it was a real joy meeting you. Take care.

Engagement ring found in Arrowhead lake. Poconos PA

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Kelly contacted me in August stating she lost her ring in a lake after playing with her kids. I told her I was on vacation in Alaska and would not be home until October. She contact me again in October and we made arrangements to meet at the lake to search for the ring. We both lived about 1 hour and 45min away. She showed me where she was playing volleyball and I first began to search in the sand before moving to the water. After about an hour of searching, I found a gold signal in about one foot of water and had to dig down about 6inches into the sand. As I pulled up the scoop of soil, I could see the ring sticking out of the sand. Kelly had been waiting in her vehicle, and as I walked back towards her car, she got out and asked if I had given up searching. She was very surprised when I pulled her ring out of my pocket and could not believe I found it after several months of being in the water at a pubic location. Please call me if you need help in finding lost jewelry no matter how long it’s been lost.

Lost Gold Pendant w/Sapphire & Diamonds Found in Huntington Woods Michigan

Third Time’s A Charm……

….Kate had just finished a 1-mile bike ride with the children and when she got home her pendant and chain were missing. Their destination was a community center building where they parked the bicycles and hung out in a small park area under some trees.

1st search with the family covered the route from home to community center building but yielded nothing.

2nd search included 2 teams of people working towards each other from the house to community center and yielded some results when the chain the pendant was on was found by a planter near where they stopped under the trees at the community center building. A week later Kate called me with what had transpired but had to go out of town on business and turned the case over to her husband Dan.

3rd search included me, Dan and the children. I thought it best to start metal detecting in the area under the trees at the community center building. Luckily no one had raked up the fallen leaves yet. Grid searching a tight pattern revealed no signals on the metal detector and searching the planters revealed nothing….so I thought…. where could this pendant be? I took a break and went to the restroom, when I came back out as I was opening the door I noticed what looked like a paper clip sticking up from the deep grooved, thick rubber floor mat. Taking a closer look, I reached down thru the deep grooves in the mat and there was Kate’s pendant! Dan had been just a few feet away when I held it up for him to see. He came running over and was as baffled as I was as to how the pendant got there. He called Kate who was totally thrilled and couldn’t believe it was found but said she didn’t go inside the building because it was closed when they were there. We both did another double take at the small 1/4″ long pendant and pondered in silence to take in all the events that transpired. The most important thing was that the pendant was found and being the third time trying was definitely a charm for Dan and Kate.

Zack’s Wedding Ring Found in the Dark at a San Clemente, CA. Park

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Call me for help finding your lost item. We can determine if a metal detector can be used to find the metal object or to eliminate a possible area where you think it could be hiding .. Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136


***  Zack  lost his wedding ring a public park in San  Clemente, CA.  The loss happened while he was throwing a ball to his young daughter. He felt his ring slip off his finger, which I always like to hear when I receive a lost ring in the grass.

Even though Zack had spent 2 hours on his hands and knees searching the thick grass he was willing to wait a half hour till I could meet him at the city park. I was dark by the time I arrived but this usually isn’t a problem. I always  carry a half a dozen different powerful lights.   

His ring showed up using the metal detector. It was actually on the surface of the grass and could have been a visual find. Sometimes the position of the sun in the sky helps to reveal a lost ring. It’s amazing that the ring was not findable while Zack searching that afternoon. It was only a 40 ’x 40’ search area. ??

Your ring is not lost forever. It is waiting to be found by a experience metal detector expert.. Call or text as soon as possible .. Stan .. 949-500-2136  “ I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”

Lost Claddagh Wedding Ring Found! – Juneau, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from Elmhurst, Illinois resident, Jim Weppner, asking if I might help to locate his gold Claddagh wedding ring.

The traditional Irish ring was a gift from Cathy, Jim’s wife of nearly 60 years. He received it on the occasion of their 25th anniversary while visiting in Claddagh, Ireland.

According to Wikipedia, Claddagh rings typically have “three primary features: a heart to represent love, a crown to represent loyalty, and two clasped hands which symbolize friendship.” They were first produced in Claddagh in the 17th century.

As our communications progressed, I quickly got a sense of just how special was Jim’s ring. I received a photo of Jim with the love of his life, Cathy, on their happy wedding day in 1964. Sadly, Cathy passed away from A.L.S. a little over a year ago. Clearly, it was more than a ring.

Over a week had passed since the ring went missing. Jim had lost some weight resulting in his ring fitting loosely. He had been cleaning up fallen branches from the lawn behind his lakefront home near Juneau, Wisconsin when it was lost. Had the ring slipped off then?

Jim’s story, together with the deep sadness in his voice, fueled my determination to do all I could to find his precious love token. I offered up a prayer for wisdom and drove up to Juneau the following day. Jim’s sister-in-law, Geri and her husband met me. After surveying the property, I began searching in locations where Jim had been working. A boat dock had since been pulled ashore in anticipation of the winter freeze up. Had the ring been spotted by one of the workers and pocketed, I wondered. The thought was troubling.

A little over an hour into the search, I was scanning the grass underneath the aluminum dock when a signal caught my attention. Crawling beneath, I pinpointed the target and carefully parted the blades of grass. That’s when I caught sight of a gold rim—Jim’s Claddagh wedding band!

I took some photos and texted them to Jim. A few moments later my phone rang. The emotions in that moment made it difficult for him to speak. As for me, I thanked my heavenly Father for the overwhelming comfort extended to Jim through the successful recovery of his priceless ring.

I left the ring with Geri for safekeeping. A few days later Jim sent me a photo with the ring back on his hand.

At time of writing, Jim and I have not yet met in person. But we hope to connect one day soon. And when we do, I’ll be sure to add his smile to this, his heartwarming story.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even long ago, don’t let its story end. Contact me. Who knows, we might be able to add another smile to my list of over 138 happy clients who thought their rings were lost forever.

Lost Wedding Ring Found! – Franksville, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

A memorable bird hunt with his father and Dutton, a gorgeous Golden Retriever, ended on a sad note when Franksville, Wisconsin resident, Joe Rampulla lost his wedding ring.

It happened later in the day while removing burs that had become entangled in Dutton’s thick coat. As he flicked the burs from his hand the yellow-gold and tantalum wedding band flew off, vanishing somewhere behind his parent’s home. Despite searching for hours and even using a metal detector, the ring could not be found.

Joe located me on theringfinders.com directory of metal detecting specialists. I made arrangements to meet him the following day.

Spreading junipers, garden foliage and landscape stones in the area made the search challenging. Additionally, my detector came alive with signals and with spurious electromagnetic interference. Buried electrical wiring and an invisible dog fence close by were the cause.

After changing frequencies and making other adjustments on my detector, the ‘noise’ settled down in my headset. I carefully probed the bushes and flowers using a pin-pointing instrument, but Joe’s ring was nowhere in the area. It was when I expanded the search location that I heard a promising signal further away in the lawn. Parting the blades of grass revealed an unmistakable rim of gold. And the smile on Joe’s face tells the rest of the story!

Joe, I’m so glad we were able to get your ring back on your hand!

Lost Cellphone Recovered at Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

  • from Harrisburg (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from a young man and by the context I knew he was a bit frantic.  He informed me that his one-week old cellphone fell as he looked down from a bridge over a creek.  Despite his efforts, he decided to check our website and contacted me.  I arranged to meet him at the location that same day.

Fortunately, the deepest part of the creek was only 3 feet.  I thought it would not take long to recover the phone but after using an underwater detector and a pointer for 1.5 hours I elected to bring out another detector.

I was using a scoop to check targets.  As each scoop was brought to the surface, and there were many, I could see the concern in the expression of the owner.  Finally, I noticed a number of targets.  Some, I knew were iron, but among them there was one that I felt was promising.  I told the owner that I would not move until that one item no longer appeared on my detector.  With one final scoop, there was the phone.

I wish I could have recorded the look on his face as I handed him the phone.  He was very excited to say the least.

He knew how to handle a phone that had been submerged.  Eight hours later he texted me from that very phone and stated, “It works!”

Tom and Barb have been married for 55 years. When they returned inside after working together on an outdoor project, Tom noticed his gold wedding ring was missing. They searched and searched but could not find it. Tom turned to the internet and eventually came across me. Long story short, after I had searched their property and didn’t find it, I expanded my area to include some of the neighbors close by. Yes, nestled in the river rock under some plants was his ring. Once I got the signal I instantly saw it. This is testament to how goo they can blend in and hide in plain sight. Its always and honor to help people get back such irreplaceable things.
