Lost Sentimental Gold & Silver Bracelets at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

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

This Bracelet hunt began when I got a text from Fahema who lives on Oahu.  She asked, “Aloha, may you please help me find my bracelets that i lost in Ko’ Olina?  It would be greatly appreciated.”  Fahema wasn’t positive, but imagined the only place could be in Ulua Lagoon as she took a dip to cool off after playing volleyball with friends.  She had placed them in her pocket before swimming and a short time after coming ashore she noticed they both were gone.  I warned her that a snorkeler could probably see them in the clear water but hopefully the over night high tide would cover them in silt.  The area she swam in was about 50 by 25 yards in the water so I fired up the Manticore and started a grid search.  I just hunted this beach the past weekend so it was fairly sterile.  About 20 minutes into the search I got a screaming high tone in thigh deep water and in one scoop there was the Silver Bracelet in the scoop.  I marked the spot with my scoop and yelled to Fahema to come get that one while I continued the search.  I continued out to the deep side of the search then turned around for the next leg.  When I got to the spot where the Silver Bracelet was found I got a nice but growling low tone.  It took two scoops but I was relieved to see the Gold Bracelet in the scoop.  I cupped it in my hand and walked ashore to where Fahema was relaxing.  I told her to open her hand so I could do a drop.  She was obviously relieved to see the most precious of the two in her hand.  Mission accomplished.  Smiles & hugs and much Aloha to Fahema!

Lost Ring – Gulf Shores, Al

Contact:

I was working away on my seashell art when I got a call from Gary saying he lost his wedding ring at the beach. Well, actually his wife lost it after he gave it to her for “safe keeping” while he was digging in the sand. Hey, it happens ! Since I was tied up and my best detecting buddy and Ringfinders partner Cheryl was closer, I called her to see if she could take care of it. And boy, did she ever ! It took longer to turn on her machine and headphones than it did to find the ring ! Three whole swings of her detector and it was back on Gary’s finger. Awesome recovery !

BEACH FIND ON SPRING FED POND IN BYRON CENTER, MI:

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Gregg Larabel had his friend Sherrie give him a call and said she had a friend that lost her ring on the beach in her backyard.  Gregg was out of the area so he gave this search to me.  I arrived and met Sherrie and she took me to the backyard to meet her 2 friends, Andrea being one of them.  The 2 ladies were enjoying the sandy beach with their kids.  Andrea took off her rose gold ring and put it on top of the cooler and then the cooler was opened and the ring went flying.  They showed me where the cooler was sitting and I took one swing and got a good signal.  I gave Andrea the pinpointer and let her retrieve the ring which blended in with the sand and made it hard to see.  Smiles all around and another successful hunt.

Lost – Gold Diamond Heirloom Ring, Ponce Inlet, FL. – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I had been on the beach all morning when I got a call from June.  She said that her friend

Daphne had lost her grandmother‘s ring at the dog park at Ponce Inlet. I told her I was nearby

and they said they could meet me there in one hour.

 

When June and Daphne arrived, Daphne was very distraught about losing her grandmother’s

ring. They took me to the river and showed me where they had been. I gridded all the entire

area … No luck. It was very hot so I told them they could leave, and I would finish the search

and give them a call if I had any questions.

 

They had only been gone about five minutes when (in my best Columbo fashion) I called June

and asked her when they had noticed the ring was missing. She said they had actually pulled

over in a Truist bank and checked for it on the way home. I told her I was getting nothing at the

dog park and that she might want to go to the bank and check the parking lot. She said it

couldn’t be there because she would’ve noticed it

 

Five minutes later I got a call from Daphne saying they had found the ring in the bank parking

lot…broken but repairable.

 

The ring was not found with a metal detector, but nevertheless… Mission accomplished!!!

Lost Crypto Wallet Found in the Snow Near Bear Lake, Utah

Contact:

One of my first calls of 2025 was from a friend (Jimmy) who had a man from his coaching group lose his phone while out sledding in a remote part of Utah. Phones can be replaced but what made this one so important was that it contained a photo of his crypto keys to access his crypto wallet. The man had a good portion of his net worth in that crypto wallet so getting the phone back was  a must. What made this recovery challenging is that it was in an area with extreme temperatures know as the sinks. When I arrived the next morning to start searching, it was -10 degrees Fahrenheit. I was concerned my detector would freeze up but Minelab makes a good detector. The search area was roughly a half mile and the slope of the hill made it very difficult. After several hours of searching, no phone 🙁

I returned two more times over the winter to try to recover the phone. The last known ping from the phone was near the highway but given the area has no service, it was unclear if it was accurate. Finally over Memorial day weekend, I took my daughter and a trash bag to clean up trash on the sledding hill. Since there was no snow, I didn’t feel the detector would be needed and boy was I right. After about an hour and about 600+ feet from where the last known ping from the phone, there it was!!! It was found 4 months to the day it was lost!!! I took it home, put it in some silica gel beads as I have done with other electronics in the past and delivered it to my friend Jimmy to send out to the man in Oregon. I am confident they will get it to work again so he can get access to his crypto wallet in the near future! What an Adventure!!!

Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This 3rd ring call of the day started with a text from Cayla. Cayla’s text started with “Hey how much are your services?” I told her that I do this on a reward/gratuity basis with 10% going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Honor of the giver. She responded saying “My husband has no faith on you finding his ring, we are in north Myrtle. He shook his hand and the ring flew off. This was around 12 this morning.” I ask her to call me. I was within blocks of where they were staying, so I pulled into a parking lot and waited for a response. In the meantime, I sent her a link to my Ring Finders page showing my Bio, number of finds, etc. When she did call, she told me her husband thought she was crazy because he thought his ring had been taken out to sea. When she told me the ring had come off in the dry sand, I assured her the ring would be right where it came off. I also told her if she was real sure of the area he lost it; we had a great chance of finding it. Cayla agreed to have me come over.

It took less than 10 minutes to get there, and Cayla met me in the parking lot. We walked out to the beach and were followed by many members of the family, who all doubted the ring could be found. Cayla and a few others showed me the area. I thought this should be a piece of cake, except for the metal drainage pipe that ran underneath the sand. I started a grid search and turned down the sensitivity as I passed over the pipe. Within just a few grid lines, I got a solid 17 on the VDI (visual Display Indicator). I knew that number was exactly what I was looking for. I looked up at Cayla and gave her a little smile and started digging. It took 3 scoops to get it out of the hole, which surprised me, but I got it out. After finding it in the sand from the scoop, I held it up and Cayla came running. She was happy we found it, but I think happier that she made the right decision to call for help. Cayla and I had fun teasing the doubters, especially her husband Brittian when he came down to the beach. All in good fun!

Cayla – Thank you for trusting me to help find Brittian’s lost ring. So glad I could help and have a good time doing it. All the best to you and yours!

White Gold Necklace with Diamond Pendant Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This was my second call of the day, and it started with a text from Emma saying, “Hi I saw the website and I lost a necklace. I’m not sure of your pricing. I lost a necklace, it’s very sentimental to me and I will pay anything just to find it again. We’re in North Myrtle. Is there any way we can pay you to help me. Just give me a call back or text messages. Thank you. Have a good one!” I called the number attached to the text to get more details. One of the things she told me was that the necklace and pendant were stainless steel. Emma explained that her mother had gotten her the necklace and that her mother has since passed away. I told Emma I had a slight delay but would be there as quick as I could.

When I got there, I met Emma at the boardwalk to the beach, and we walked out on the beach. Emma told me that she had taken the necklace off and given it to a friend. The friend put it in a hat and set it on the beach. As they were leaving the beach, the friend picked up the hat and put it on his head. At that point he remembered the necklace, but it was too late. The necklace quickly disappeared into the dry sand. They spent a lot of time looking for it with no luck, hence the phone call to me. I started outside the search area, but Emma moved me a little lower on the beach. A couple of grid lines, I hit a solid 10 on the metal detector. Since she said it was stainless steel, I was expecting a signal in the 20s. I moved the sand with my foot looking for the item. Finally, I got a little glimmer of something shiny. I reached down and pulled out Emma’s Necklace and handed it to her. I told Emma that I thought her necklace was white gold instead of stainless steel based on the number I got on the detector and what I was looking at. Regardless of the metal it is or isn’t, Emma got her very precious necklace back and was very happy.

Emma – Thank you for calling me and letting me help find your very sentimental necklace back where it belongs.

Jim
