The pictures above show a recovery of a small gold and diamond earring.  She was very on vacation and had one of her earrings fall off as she was exiting the beach.  She called me late at night and I was able to meet her there early the next morning.  She knew the general area where she lost it.  After about 20 min of gridding the area it finally popped up:-)

Lost Ring Playing VolleyBall at Corona Delmar Beach in Southern California .. Found Using a Metal Detecting Service

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Your ring lost in the sand is not lost forever.. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man  … 949-500-2136 .. Professional metal detecting service available to give you advice or meet you at your location .


** It was a weekend Sunday afternoon when I got a call to help find a ring lost at Corona Delmar beach. They had lost a gold ring while playing volleyball and were still at the location. I was nearby, so I met them on the beach with my state of the art metal detecting equipment.

They told me that two rings were lost in the sand.  I was amazed that they had been able to find one of the rings hand searching the sand.
Anyway, I recovered the other ring shortly after starting a grid search with my state of the art metal detector. It was a big family group and they were all happy to see how easy it was to find the other ring. It’s always a special moment to see how happy people are when we can find a sentiment keepsake that they thought was impossible to find in a mass of sand.

Demetri contacted me about his lost gold ring and explained how he even purchased a cheap metal detector and spent a few frustrating hours searching his yard and only found a handful of junk. He had done some yard work and showed me all the places where he spent time digging and trimming bushes and cutting roots to make way for a good sized above ground planter box. I got busy grid searching for his lost gold ring and I quickly covered the key areas in the front of the house and then proceeded to the side and eventually to the back yard…and his ring was just not there. I asked Demetri more questions about where else he went on the day his ring went missing and he remembered that he had played with his kids in the neighbors front yard. So I figured why not give it a try. Again I began a systematic grid search and on the fourth pass I got a good signal that registered in the gold range and low and behold there was Demetri’s lost gold ring…just laying there in the grass!

Demetri was overjoyed and could not stop smiling! Maybe you have lost a ring or something special and need a ring finders help! Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk.

Lost Ring Found, Castle Rock Trail, Lake Tahoe

  • from Carson City (Nevada, United States)

4:52pm, March 2nd, 2026, I received a text requesting a lost ring search on the Castle Rock Trail. This scenic trail is a one mile hike to a rock outcrop that provides spectacular views of Lake Tahoe. With the trailhead at 7,400+ feet in altitude, I expected a good amount of snow along the trail and the search area. The text included a description of how the ring was lost and satellite images with pinned gps coordinates.
March 3rd, around 8:30am, I arrived at the trailhead with metal detecting equipment and snowshoes. Fortunately the night-time temperatures were cold enough to create a frozen top crust on the deep snow and I didn’t need to use the snowshoes. The hike to the search site was just short of a mile with a little over 400 feet of elevation gain. With minimal cellular reception, it took a little extra time to locate the pinned gps coordinates. Within 10 minutes of searching, a solid repeatable signal was located. A quick dig in the snow revealed the lost ring. So within 15 hours of being notified, the ring was recovered. I scheduled a meetup with the ring owner that afternoon in Carson City, so the total time from being notified to the return of the ring was less than 24 hours.

Engagement Ring Lost at the Beach, Belmar NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Nicole called me around 8:30 p.m., clearly upset about losing her beautiful engagement ring on the beach earlier in the day. She’d been there with her children, enjoying a beautiful fall day, when she removed her ring to apply sunblock, setting it on her lap. In the flurry of activity, she forgot about the ring, got up, and went down to the water to grab a bucket for her son. Returning to the area where her chairs were set up,  she remembered the ring and began searching everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found.

After returning home, she was talking to a friend, who follows my page, and recommended that Nichole contact me, reassuring her that my success rate was phenomenal. After Nicole explained all the details, I told her there was a very good chance I could find it. Checking the tide charts, we decided it would be best to wait for the following afternoon’s low tide to begin the search.

When we met at the beach, Nichole took me to where she’d been the previous day. I started by searching around the chair setup, then moved to the area where her children had been playing, but with no luck. I expanded the search down the hill, about 20 feet wide, toward the water’s edge and then waded out to mid-calf depth, still with no results.

Nicole was beginning to lose hope, but I assured her that the ring had to be nearby. Considering that the current had been moving north, I expanded the search in that direction, moving from high to low tide marks. Just a few steps in, I picked up a signal and hoped it might be her ring. Sure enough, it was.

Nichole’s son, who had been showing his mother every target I had dug, was waiting patiently to see what this signal might be. I leaned over and quietly told him it was moms ring, and to reach into my scoop, take out the ring, and keep it hidden in his hand. When he finally opened his hand for his mom, her expression was priceless—pure joy. Moments like this are what make recovering people’s sentimental items so rewarding.

Lost 2 day old gold/diamond ring….Found in Manteca!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

Chet was performing work on his quarter acre property in Manteca, CA.  He was moving around old tractors and a trailer full of steel beams.  At the end of the day, he made the discovery that the ring he had just received two days earlier for Valentine’s Day was now missing somewhere on the property.  He did a fair amount of searching for himself and even borrowed a metal detector from a friend with no luck.

When he contacted me through theringfinders.com he admitted to have not been able to sleep and even called himself a “desperate man”.  He felt awful when he had to come clean about the lost ring, but after talking to me, he was looking forward to a brighter day.

Well, that day came.  I performed a hasty search of the target area.  It was loud and there was trash everywhere. After 45 minutes, I decided to set up my grids and put on the tiny coil for purpose of better target separation.  I was in my second “swim lane” when I got a booming double beeper.  A perfect 13 in every direction.  We had made the recovery!!!

Just barely under the surface and very near our first search area I moved some tree clippings to reveal this gold and diamond beauty.  It was then that I turned it over to a very thankful Chet before taking some celebratory photos and cleaning up my grid.

It was a joyous afternoon for us both and I thank Chet for his good conversation and fantastic fruit he provided.

Lost ring in backyard…Found

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)

Had a gentleman contact me over the weekend. He had been picking up sticks from his yard and tossing them over the fence. Once he finished up he realized his ring was missing. It flew off while he was throwing sticks. He looked for quite awhile with no luck. After a quick search I found it and the owner was reunited with his ring.

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Recovered After Weeks Missing in Backyard
There’s something extra special about helping a newlywed recover a lost engagement ring — especially when they’ve only been married three months.
I received a call from a young lady named Kendall who was understandably upset. Her engagement ring had been missing for about two to three weeks. She had lost it somewhere in her backyard and despite searching multiple times, it was nowhere to be found.
Like many people would, Kendall and her husband decided to take matters into their own hands. They purchased a metal detector and carefully searched the yard themselves. Unfortunately, without experience using the equipment — and not knowing exactly what signals to listen for — they had no luck locating the ring.
After weeks of frustration, they turned to the internet for help. That’s when they came across The Ring Finders and found my name, Phillip Mendez, listed as a local ring finder. They reached out, hopeful but understandably nervous.
When I arrived, Kendall showed me the areas where she believed the ring might have slipped off. Newly landscaped yards and thick grass can easily hide a small gold band, even in plain sight. After listening carefully to her story and narrowing down the most likely zones, I began a methodical grid search.
About 30 minutes later, I got a strong, clean signal.
Just beneath the surface of the grass was Kendall’s engagement ring.
The look on her face when she saw it again — pure relief and joy — is why I do what I do. Three months into marriage is far too soon to replace a ring filled with memories and meaning. Being able to reunite her with the exact ring that marked the beginning of her forever was incredibly rewarding.
If you’ve lost something valuable — especially a sentimental item like an engagement ring — don’t give up hope. Even after weeks outside, rings can still be found with the right equipment and experience.
Another happy ending, and another reminder that sometimes the right search makes all the difference.
