  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

After a day or two of visual searching I received a call from Toni who had lost her 14k gold bangle on a walk in Rockland, Maine. While retracing her route I searched along the sidewalks edge until locating it buried in two inches of snow. Through tears of joy Toni explained that the bracelet had belonged to her grandmother who had passed away 19 years ago giving it significant sentimental value that no jeweler could have replaced.

Beautiful gold heirloom ring lost, recovered and returned in Newark, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Zack and Yasmine contacted me via the Ring Finders directory after losing a beautiful gold ring several weeks earlier. They were enjoying the first snowfall of the year on the campus of the University of Delaware in Newark, DE when her ring came up missing. The ring, which was originally her mothers, flew off her finger during a snowball fight. Yasmine distinctly felt the ring come off during a throw and despite searching several times she and Zack could not find it. I met them on campus and they had the good sense to remember the precise area where the snowball fight occurred. I started the search with my Minelab Manticore metal detector(15 inch coil) in the area she was standing when she made the throw and used a grid pattern to cover the 25 square yard area. When i didn’t find on my first scan of the area I expanded my search area and started to cover a wider area. A gold ring on the surface has a very distinct and unique signature on a metal detector and I was hyper focused on just that signal when BOOM!  I got the signal I was hoping for…I looked down…I didn’t even have to bend down…there on the surface was her beautiful gold ring!!! I called Zack and Yasmine over and pointed down…the happiness on their faces made my day!

Metal Detecting Service in Newport Beach call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 .. Member of TheRingFinders

  *** Cairo and Layla are newly weds from Egypt, celebrating their honeymoon in Newport Beach , CA.  Layla set her two wedding rings on their beach blanket for a couple minutes, because the new rings were a little tight.

Even though they were back away from the water, a rouge wave washed over the upper towel line and the water took the rings into the sand.

They called me after trying to find the rings for a couple hours.  I met them on the beach just before sunset.  They remained on the beach till I arrived. Because they called me in a timely manner and stayed there, It only took a few minutes to locate both the rings. They were so excited and grateful to have the rings recovered. The next morning they were flying back to Egypt.

Do not wait. It is very important to call a metal detecting service as soon as possible.. Call or Text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man …  949-500-2136

Lost Office Keys in Back Alley, Glennridding Ravine Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Yesterday afternoon, while driving home from my last search, I received a call from Jonathan. He requested my assistance in locating his lost keys in his back alley. Jonathan informed me that he had become stuck in a snowbank while shoveling his vehicle out. Upon noticing his key missing, he had searched the area unsuccessfully for some time.

Upon my arrival, Jonathan demonstrated the area where he had become stuck and the approximate location where the keys could be. However, he had inadvertently shoveled the snow towards the fence, which is where I subsequently discovered his keys. Jonathan was overjoyed to have his keys returned.

Lost Hyundai Key Fob! Jamieson Place Neighbourhood Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from Lynn inquiring about my assistance in locating her vehicle key fob, which her son misplaced while shoveling snow on the driveway.

After inquiring with Lynn, I agreed to visit her and search for the key fob in the snowbank. Upon arrival, I observed that the snowbank was approximately four feet high, and the driveway was not its usual size. Within five minutes, I discovered the key fob atop the snowbank. Lynn informed me that she believed the keys had fallen to the bottom of the snowbank, making it impossible for her son to retrieve them. I clarified that this was not the case, as the recent snowfall and her son’s shoveling activity had caused the keys to be within a few inches of the top of the bank.

Lynn expressed immense gratitude for my assistance in retrieving her key fob. She informed me that the dealership had requested over $800.00 for its replacement.

Find a ring in Brooklyn! Found lost jewelry in Brooklyn Street… Brooklyn’s in the house!

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Sometimes the Search Starts Long Before the Detector Turns On

If you lost jewelry in New York suburbs, call me! – 646-235-8797…

At 1:00 AM, a desperate text came in. By mid-morning, there were tears — hers… and mine.

This one felt amazing — not just because the ring was found, but because of what happened when I handed it back.

A woman in Williamsburg, Brooklyn had lost a ring that meant everything to her. She felt it fly (fling) off her finger while walking on her block. She and her boyfriend — along with kind strangers — searched for hours with flashlights. No luck. Desperate, she reached out.

I replied honestly. Street searches are tough. Metal detectors don’t love concrete or asphalt — too much interference underneath. I told her I might not be able to help, but we’d talk in the morning.

Her reply changed everything: they believed the ring landed in a dirt or grassy area.

That detail mattered.

By morning, they had already gone back out and searched for a few more hours. When I arrived, she explained the ring was loose — and that unmistakable feeling of it flying off her finger never left her.

I started by eliminating the obvious with quick scans — the leaf-covered street and nearby bushes along Havemeyer Street. After about an hour with nothing, I shifted my focus to something more subtle: the footing at the base of the shrubbery.

And that’s when it happened.

Right at the bottom of a bush, exactly where gravity would pull something small but heavy, my detector gave the signal I was hoping for. I reached down — and there it was.

Her ring.

When I placed it in her hand, she broke down in tears of pure joy. And honestly… that did me in too. I even got a hug out of this one.

Moments like this are why I do what I do.

More and more I’ve been thanking g-d, before I even begin a search, I feel a calm certainty — like I know what was lost will be found.

LOST 18K GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN SALISBURY, NC…..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..

Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!

He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.

The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!

I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!

I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!

Clemson Class Ring Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned Litchfield, SC

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

This search started just before 6 pm on Jan. 2nd, 2026, when I received a phone call from Jack saying his friend Kai had lost his Clemson class ring. Jack confirmed they were in the dry sand and that they would meet me there. I told him I’d be there in 30-45 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and was on my way.

When I got there, I followed Jack into the resort and back to where they were on the beach. I got to meet Kai, and he explained that he had been throwing a Frisbee when he felt the ring come off. A huge help was the fact that Kai and Jack had set two beer cans in the sand where Kai had been standing. They also left the Frisbee where it landed with another beer can in the sand. They were just above the high tide line when this happened. So, I started a north/south grid search between the two areas stretching the search out in both directions with no luck. I finally asked Kai to demonstrate his throw and when he did, I knew I wasn’t in the right area. In his demonstration, he showed that he heaved the Frisbee with his hand ending up high and to the far right. It was pitch black and getting cold, so I talked with Kai and Jack and told them I was there until I found it or exhausted searching the entire area. I also told them if they wanted to leave that I would definitely call them and keep them updated. I think both Jack and Kai’s girlfriends were with them plus a couple of others and they were getting hungry. Again, I assured them I’d stay connected and they left. I redirected my search to past the landing point of the Frisbee and higher up on the beach, just off the dunes. On my first line and just about even with where Kai had been standing, I got a solid hit. Knowing the ring was a heavy yellow gold ring, the VDI (visual display indicator) would show up in the mid to high teens. This signal was coming up in the 17-18 range. It took 3 scoops to get the target out, which surprised me that it was so deep. Got the target out of the hole, turned on my head lamp and saw the target in the pile of sand. It wasn’t until I picked up the target, cleaned the sand off it that I realized I had Kai Clemson ring. I took a quick picture and sent it to Jack and immediately got a call back. Jack said they’re turning around and would be there in 5 minutes. Kai came running out on the beach to where I was and I showed him the hole and where it was in conjunction to where he was standing when he threw the Frisbee. We walked back to the cars, he thanked me again and we said our goodbyes. He left a very happy young man!

Jack – Thank you so much for giving me a call to help.

Kai – I’m so happy that I was able to find and return your lost treasure. Take care and the best to you!

Jim

Wedding ring lost in snow and found! Delafield, Wisconsin.

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

The day after New Year’s, Ian Clark was clearing snow off the driveway in Delafield, Wisconsin when his heavy yellow-gold wedding ring flew off his hand and disappeared into the snow. He was throwing ice-melt crystals when it happened. Despite his frantic search efforts, the ring seemed destined to remain hidden forever. Ian even tried using a metal detector but a large metal culvert in the area overwhelmed his machine as did the buried electrical cables and metallic objects in the ground, the kind that accumulates over a half-century of human occupation.

Ian reached out to me by text late that evening and we arranged to meet on location first thing the next morning. It was minus 9 degrees Fahrenheit (-22 Celsius) when I left my house in Waukesha. Upon arrival, a white-tailed deer walked across the road, creating a classic Hallmark winter scene in the gorgeous country subdivision. I also saw evidence of Ian’s search efforts in the snow alongside the driveway.

While I searched, Ian hovered close by; his hopes raised every time I knelt in the snow to probe a target. But a thorough grid search in front of the house failed to reveal the ring. Since a throwing action can fling a heavy ring quite a distance, I also checked along the road in front of the house. Again, no ring. I began to wonder if a neighbor had picked up the ring while out walking. Then I moved to the opposite side of the driveway. I was completing a third pass when a signal near the road invited investigation. It didn’t take long for my probe to isolate the signal’s source—Ian’s wedding ring! I left it in place and called Ian over to personally recover the love token from its frozen resting place. The emotions of that moment are hard to describe. Ian was on the verge of tears, clear evidence that the ring was, as I have so often observed, more than a ring!

Ian preferred not to have his photo published. Instead, he took one of yours truly inside his home where we both savored the warmth and success.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, whether recent or long ago, call me. Lost in the snow, in a lake (underwater), or on land, chances are, the ring may yet be found. I would be delighted to add your smile to the list of very happy clients who are glad they called.
