Chris contacted me about searching his home that had burned during the Eton/Altadena fire, we made arrangements to do the search.

When I arrived Chris and his wife Laura met me at our arranged meeting point, and they took me to their property. Driving through the area just makes my heart sink knowing how all of these people lost everything they had worked so hard for so rapidly. When we arrived they told me that the home was searched already by a Samaritan’s Purse team, but the wanted a more thorough search to insure everything that could be found was found. I searched 3 different areas, and was able to find 5 lumps of melted silver, one of Chris’ hand planes, a decorative anchor, and 5 small pieces of gold including a partial chain, and fully intact earring with gem. They were happy I was able to help, and I was thankful to be able to help as well.

Spring Lake NJ, Wedding Ring Lost in the sand, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Erin had posted on her local Facebook page about her husbands lost wedding ring on the beach, providing detailed information about the location. Several followers of NJ Ring Finder tagged me in the post, and Erin soon reached out for help. The first thing I advised her was to remove the location details to prevent anyone else from trying to hunt for it. By the time she contacted me, the ring had already been on the beach for 24 hours. Fortunately, I knew the area well—it wasn’t a frequently searched beach, so I felt confident the ring would still be there.

Since Erin had already returned home for the weekend, we arranged for me to meet her parents on the beach the following day. When I arrived, they met me on the boardwalk, and as we walked toward the location, they explained what had happened when the ring was lost. They were fairly certain about the general area, though it was a bit large, and if it wasn’t there, suggested it might be a few feet farther north, closer to the lifeguard chair.

I began methodically working my way back and forth through the marked area. As I passed by where Erin’s parents were sitting, her father pointed out some trash, seaweed, and shells that he remembered being there when the ring was lost. He was confident this was the exact spot. Just a few swings of my detector later, I got a nice low tone—one that very well could have been the ring. Sure enough, as I shook the sand out of my scoop, I heard the unmistakable clink of metal.

Erin’s parents were amazed that I found the ring, and with that, another happy ending to a weekend on the Jersey Shore!

Lost Wedding Ring Found at Carpinteria State Beach

Instead, contact Dave The Ring Finder, a proud member of The Ring Finders network, at 805-290-5009 (call or text). I specialize in recovering lost jewelry fast, so you can get back to enjoying your day!
Today, I received an urgent text from Mike, who had been camping and playing football at Carpinteria State Beach. While diving for a catch, his ring slipped off—stripped from his finger in a one-in-a-million moment. He wasn’t sure of the exact spot, but we narrowed it down to a 20×20-foot area of sand. I grabbed my gear and got to work.
The challenge? The beach was littered with bottle caps, pull tabs, and melted aluminum scraps. My Minelab Manticore was picking up a symphony of signals, making it impossible to zero in on the ring’s tone without digging every target. With so much metal trash, I couldn’t risk the ring being masked, so I committed to clearing the area scoop by scoop.
After 40 minutes and about 40 dug targets, doubt started creeping in. Had we misjudged the spot? I expanded the search slightly, and within a minute, I hit a solid 50-51 tone—a promising sign. I plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, gave it a few shakes, and there it was: Mike’s lost ring gleaming in the sunlight!
What started as a tougher-than-expected hunt ended in success. Losing a ring in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach doesn’t have to ruin your trip—Dave The Ring Finder has you covered. Call or text 805-290-5009 today, and let me reunite you with your lost treasure!

Engagement Ring Lost in The Sabattus, Maine Snow, Found With A Metal Detector

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

I received the following text, on Friday, January 31st, 2025

“Hello. My daughter lost her engagement ring in our driveway under snow. Can you help to locate? What is approximate charge?
I live in Sabattus Maine. I have the area near my driveway and lawn about 10×30 area identified. No trees Or obstacles”.

I replied

“Hello, So sorry to hear this. When was the ring lost?
I do not charge for my time or service. I do however have a Transportation Fee. This is to cover my gas, tolls, wear and tear etc..
I will tell you that I am not available today. I will be able to go up there, 1st thing tomorrow morning.
I have 3 appointments today, including a Physical Therapy session, after my recent left knee replacement”.

His reply
“Ring lost Wednesday two days ago. We sifted thru the snow, melted it in house tub but found nothing. I would like your help to check area by car in driveway? Tomorrow is fine”.

I then asked for some more information, his name, address and what the metal was that the ring was made of.
Gary N****** is his name and the ring was 14K White Gold. I told Gary we would be up around 9:00am and I would bring some test rings, to set the detectors up with and to show them how metal detecting works.

Saturday morning, Gary Hill picked me up at 7:45am and we made the approximately 1 hour drive to Sabattus, just a little northeast of Lewiston, Maine and Auburn, Maine. I still have not been cleared to drive, after my recent Total Left Knee Replacement and with Gary driving, it was all good. I am very close to being cleared and hopefully be driving again, soon. Until then, I’ll follow Dr’s orders. It was still snowing as we drove to Sabattus and with the stiff winds, the temperature was only 4 degrees. So glad we have all of our cold weather gear as who knows how long we will need to search.

Once we arrived at the search area, in Sabattus, Gary Hill and I were met by Gary N. and his daughter, Samantha. Gary Hill had already turned his detector on, and searched the driveway, as we walked, up the driveway. I was talking to Samantha and her Father and they were
Explaining that Samantha had been cleaning the snow, off of her car, Wednesday morning, after the overnight snowstorm. Samantha was standing next to her car , shaking the snow, off her hands, when she felt the ring go flying off her finger. She was uncertain, as to which way the ring went flying but was confident the Engagement Ring, was somewhere, on the front lawn, not to far from the vehicle, she was cleaning off.
As Samantha was telling me the circumstances, leading up to the ring being lost, Gary Hill had been searching the area, approximately 6 feet out from the car and as he took a step closer, to the car, Gary had a very nice signal on his VDI screen, reading 12. A definite low conductor and Gary said the tone sure sounded like gold. As we watched on, Gary moved some snow away, with his hands and pinpointer. Then, THERE IT WAS, the engagement ring was clearly visible to all of us. Smiles broke out, happy tears were flowing and all in less than 5 minutes. I never even turned my detector on and the ring was back with Samantha, where it belongs.
Samantha then told us that she recently became engaged, back in October, while on a trip to The Grand Teton National Park, in Wyoming. Samantha’s fiancé had even had the proposal videotaped, under the guise of videotaping some animals. Samantha was totally surprised and unaware of the proposal and it was all caught on camera, to watch over and over again. Samantha also told us that her fiancé, designed, this very special ring.
Gary Hill and I are extremely happy to have been able to help Samantha, in her time of need and to see her smile and happy tears as she put the ring, back on her finger. There is no better feeling than to see the smiles on the faces of our clients. Samantha will now be in The Ring Finders of Maine, “Book of Smiles”, forever. Gary and I wishing Samantha and her fiancé a wonderful wedding and marital blessings ❤️🙏

Lost woman’s rings found in Burleson, TX.

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from John he said his fiancé had thrown her rings in the backyard field and he wanted to recover them before he made an insurance claim. I agreed to meet him on January 31, 2025 and search for the lost rings. I arrived as scheduled and started my search of the large field. I started to my right side and my first pass was about 75’ long  then moved over and searched back 75’. I continued for about an hour and had made about 5 passes 75’ deep by about 50’ wide. At about 1 hour and 10 minutes I found a small gold ring and figured the other one should be close by. About 5 minutes later I found the ring he was looking for. John was glad and  I was happy I was able to locate your ring. Thank you for the reward John!!!

Gold Promise Ring Lost! Ermineskin Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

I received a phone call and text late last night, but I was unfortunately unavailable. I responded with a text message first thing this morning.

Marcus requested my service to recover his lost promise ring, I understand he was brushing snow off his vehicle seat when the ring flew off his finger. He heard it ping inside the vehicle but couldn’t locate it, and then spent an hour searching the parking lot without success.

We arranged a meeting this morning, but a different vehicle was parked where his vehicle had been. After Marcus explained the situation again, I searched inside his vehicle  and immediate area without finding the ring. Marcus then showed me a photo of where his vehicle had been parked, and I determined the ring must be underneath the vehicle that was parked on the spot where his vehicle was last night.

We discussed the possibility of the vehicle owner being a visitor or employee in the complex. I suggested we either contact each office in the complex to find the owner or wait for them to appear, which could take all day.

Fortunately, we were able to locate the owner quickly, and she kindly moved her vehicle. My first sweep with my metal detector located his ring, Marcus was ectatic to have his ring back on his finger.

Thank you for entrusting me to find your ring. It was my pleasure to assist you.

Silver Ring lost in Kerikeri Garden While Throwing Dog Toy

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

Giorgia was visiting family in Kerikeri over the summer break, having come up from Wellington.
While out in the garden, she was throwing toys for the dog when she suddenly thought she saw her silver ring flying through the air.
A quick check of her hand confirmed it—she had lost her ring.
The family quickly sprang into action, searching the lawn, but to no avail.

She contacted me a couple of days later, and before long, I was standing in their garden, recreating the sequence of events with her over the phone.

By this point, Giorgia had returned to Wellington, but talking to her on the phone, she thought the ring might be in the shrubbery to the right of where she had been standing, or possibly as far as 20 meters away in some bushes near the garage.

The dog had only been trained to retrieve toys, not rings…

I covered the likely areas, and because she mentioned seeing the ring airborne, I was able to focus on a fairly tight search quadrant.
As often happens, though, it wasn’t where she thought it would be.

This is when I switched to my ‘unknown location’ search pattern, and sure enough, twenty minutes later, I found the ring tucked into the thatch of the manicured lawn—nearly 90° from the initially indicated direction of travel, and behind a large tree, 15 meters from where she had been standing. It was a spot the family had already searched.

The ring must have bounced off the branches, which deflected it down and behind the tree.
Every search has its unique twists and turns.

Found Cell Phone Deep in Snowbank

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

1/31/25

Got a call from a teenager’s dad last night. The night before, his daughter had rushed out to move her car so the snow plow guy could do their driveway. Her phone was in her pj bottom’s pocket at the time. She went back inside and realized her phone was missing. By then, the phone had been plowed into a snowbank somewhere.

They tried calling it, digging around with shovels and even borrowed a low quality metal detector. They gave up and found my number. We made arrangements for me to go there after work today.

So, with my brand new detector in hand, I got started. In about 3 minutes I got a good signal. There was her phone, elbow deep in the snow. The detector found its first target, very impressive! A very happy teenager, who was without her phone for 2 days!!!
Such an awesome hobby :))
