*** Antonio lost a gold pendant at a Westminister, CA. park while playing football with his friends. He was sure the pendant was on the grassy field . He called me after he had another guy search for it with a metal detector.

  I met him late in the afternoon to get an idea of where he thought it may have come off. A football field is a massive area which could take me 5 or 6 hours if it wasn’t there or I missed it.

Antonio was very upset as this was a gift from his mother who had recently passed away. Actually he was going to be attending her funeral. The next day while I was doing the search.

My game plan was to separate the large area in five sections. Starting with Area #1 center of field. Areas  #2 and #3 the ends nearest the goal lines. Lastly, areas #4 and #5  would be grid searched.

The pendant was found in the first search area after an hour and a half of slow and low meticulous swinging of my Minelab Manticore metal detector. Searches can be quick if you start in the right spot. “ Some say it’s a game of inches.”

We were lucky this time and it was an emotional return as Antonio had been at the funeral and didn’t know the pendant was found till later that day.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Farmington Hills Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Kiss the Blarney Gold!

Excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and with a spring in his step, Walt decided to do some chores around the yard before enjoying some fine food and drink. Upon completion he noticed his gold ring fell off. As we were walking to the backyard, I looked around and didn’t see any rainbows or leprechauns, so I randomly picked an area to start metal detecting. Using my MXT bigfoot coil attached to my shillelagh I started to grid search. Within a few minutes I got a nice signal and sound on the metal detector. Reaching down into the leaves revealed his concealed gold ring! Lifting it out I handed it to Walt who kissed the gold ring and said, May the road always rise to meet you and wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Waimanalo Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Michelle that read, “Hey I’m on waimanalo beach and have lost my wedding ring. Is that something you help with?”  I immediately called Michelle and found out she was visiting from Salt Lake City, Utah and assisting her father in moving his home on island.  While enjoying the day at Waimanalo Beach, Michelle reached to return hit a volleyball and her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement ring flew off and disappeared in the sand.  After several hours sifting the sand through a box sifter it became obvious they weren’t going to find the ring without a little metal detecting.  I told Michelle I would grab my gear and head over and that they were about 30 minutes away.  When I arrived the first thing I noticed was a box sand sifter and a pile of sand.  They had been working hard but the ring was no where to be found.  I fired up the beast and started a grid search.  First target was a wine bottle cap.  Then I got a solid perfect dot #27 on the VDI and in one deep sccoop there was Michelle’s gorgeous ring.  A few hugs later and the joy on her face proved once again why I love this hobby so much.  Aloha to Michelle!

*** Will was building a storage shed in his backyard. Later that evening while inside his house he noticed his gold wedding ring was not on his finger. He never felt it come off. This is normal because when people wear rings for many years, the ring can still feel like it’s on.

He called me explaining the circumstances of his loss. He couldn’t remember exactly when he last saw the ring before discovering his ring missing. It could be anywhere. We set up a day that I could search his backyard as that was where he had done a lot of activity, moving construction materials with high grass that could hide a small gold ring.

The game plan was to eliminate the backyard using a metal detector. If that was unsuccessful we had many other places that a metal detector may not be able to be used. We didn’t waste time discussing all the other areas the ring could be. It’s a process of elimination, one area at a time. Why get yourself confused with all the possibilities.

Metal detectors are a great tool for finding lost rings, but they do have limitations. So I used the my metal detector in the yard, where it works the best.

Sometimes you start in the right place, which was what happened this day.. 20 minutes in the backyard grass .. BOOM!  Will’s gold ring was found near his small construction project.

He was inside at the time of the recovery. When he came out to see how I was doing , I was able to surprise him.. and able to show him where it had been hiding.

I am available to help you now. Call or text ASAP 24/7 … metal detector man .. 949-500-2136   Prompt experienced professional Mobile Metal Detecting Service with over 50 years experience .. “ I Will TRY ANYWHERE”

Grandfather’s Gold Crucifix Lost in Grassy Area, Found and Returned Leland, NC

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

A little after 11am this morning, the 21st of March, I got a message from fellow Ring Finder, Steve Ray. The message said “I just got a call about a lost cross where he knows the area, along, but not in a lake. Leland NC, if you’re interested. I’m in Ohio.” Steve also sent a text from the owner, along with a phone number. I messaged Steve back saying, “Yea, I can take it.” I called the number in the text and didn’t get an answer, so I left a voice mail. Within seconds, Matt, the owner, called me back and I got additional information. He agreed with me coming to search, and I told him I’d be there in about an hour.

When I arrived, Matt was standing on the balcony of the apartment and came right down to the parking lot.  As we’re walking out to the area, he explained that when he woke up this morning, he needed to get something out of the car. At the time, his wife had the car keys, and she was out in a back area of the apartments with the dogs. So, he had walked out to get the keys from his wife. While he was out there, he felt the chain break that was holding the Crucifix. He grabbed the chain and thought the Crucifix fell out of his shirt on the ground. He also stated that he searched the area numerous times. He also searched the bedroom, bathroom and rest of the apartment with no luck. As he’s taking me to the area, I searched his path both visually and with the Nox 800. When we got to where he said the chain broke, I started a grid search. It was a small area, maybe 10×20 foot square. Both sides of the area had wire fencings. I checked those areas, which was mostly leaves with my pin pointer. As I’m searching, all of a sudden, he says, “Thank You for coming” and he had a big smile on his face. It only meant one thing! As I turned around to see what he was talking about, he put both hands on my shoulder and squeezed my shoulders. He pointed to the ground, and I could see the Crucifix, which was well blended in with the ground. I love it when things work out for the best. On the way back to my car, Matt told me the Crucifix originally belonged to his grandfather. When Matt’s grandparents hit their 50th wedding anniversary, his grandfather had the Crucifix specially engraved and gave it to wife. Both grandparents have passed and it’s all the more sentimental to Matt as a reminder of his Grandparents every day. It was a beautiful story!

Matt – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

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.

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.

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.

Platinum Wedding Ring Lost In The Snow Of Sanford, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

Back on February 18th, 2025, I received the following message from Jared.

“Hi there, I messaged another page but wasn’t sure if it was the right one. I was knocking down some icicles and it must have slipped off and landed in the snow. Hoping to get your help”!

I replied,
“Hi Jared, So sorry to hear this.
Is it a ring that was lost?
When did this happen?
What town or city did this happen in”?

Jared explained that he had just lost his Platinum Wedding Ring, that very afternoon. I told Jared I would be happy to help and we agreed that I would be out, first thing, in the morning, to his home, in Sanford, Maine.
I arrived promptly at 9:00am and Jared showed me where he was standing, while throwing a boot up to and breaking the icicles off the front of his house. He was certain, the ring would be along the house or front lawn. The snow was extremely deep in the areas, where the ring would have been. I trodded through the deep snow, with my metal detector, in the front and side of the house. Absolutely nothing close to being a platinum ring was detected. I then searched the driveway that also had snow and ice. Still no ring. After an hour and I half, I told Jared that the snow was just to deep, in the areas he thought the ring would be and that I would come back, once the snow had receded or melted.
On March 8th I sent a message to Jared, how the snow was looking, at his house. He told me that the snow was melting but still significant, along the front of the house. He told me probably be much better in two weeks.
So, the next week I messaged him again and he told me about 4 inch of snow remained on the ground. We then agreed that I would go back to his home on Wednesday, March 19th and search the area again. I also told him, I would be bringing my friend, Gary Hill, to help search the area. With two of us, we would be able to search all around the house, on the outside chance, the ring flew up onto the roof and down the other side, into the backyard. You just never know and I wanted to cover all the bases, as the saying goes.
Gary and I arrived and we talked to Jared again, about the events leading up to him losing his ring. He was throwing the boot, up towards the icicles, underhanded and was certain the ring would be in the front of the house, as he wasn’t throwing the boot, with full force. The snow was all gone, except a few small spots, that I shoveled. Gary and I searched along the house, sides of the house and the backyard of the house. No ring was found. We also removed flower boxes, from their holder and searched them. We looked in and under all the bushes. Still no ring. It was mentioned and asked, if the ring could have been on the other side of the driveway, in the wooded area. I didn’t think it was possible because that would place the ring, 30 or 40 feet in the opposite direction, that the boot was being thrown. But as I thought about it, was it possible the ring landed in the side driveway and then plowed up into the snowbank, that was still partially there? Unlikely, but possible. So Gary and I started on opposite ends of the driveway and started searching. No ring found on the driveway side of the snow bank. We then moved to the backside of the snow bank, approaching the wooded area. Less than a minute, on the backside, I heard a faint signal and when I looked up in front of my coil, I saw a ring. I couldn’t believe it. I took a few photos, of the ring, as I found it, in the grass, just inches from the snow bank. I had Gary go get Jared to see exactly where the ring was found. Jared was extremely happy the ring was found and couldn’t believe it was found on the backside of the snow bank. The only plausible explanation is the snowplow had plowed it, up into the very large snow bank, back in February. We will never know for sure how it ended up there but it doesn’t matter. Jared has his ring back and he genuinely thanked Gary and I for our persistence.
So fortunate to be able to help people like Jared out, in their time of need. Another smile for the books😁❤️🙏
