Ring Found in Corn Pit at Gull Meadows Farm, Richland, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from Steve saying his daughter had lost her ring in the corn pit on their family outing at this fun park. They had returned home and were sitting around the house when Enza burst out in tears. They were all wondering what happened to her when she said, “my ring is gone”. She had received the silver ring on her 10th birthday in July of this year. Steve and I arranged a time to meet on Monday afternoon which worked out well because the fun park is closed on Monday’s and we had the whole corn pit by ourselves with the owners permission. Steve met me there and Enza could not be there because she was in school. He showed me a couple of spots about 10 ft square where she had been playing and checking the first spot I found nothing. Second spot I got a faint signal right away and gave Steve the pinpointer to check that spot. He couldn’t find anything so I continued on but then came right back to recheck that spot. We started to dig down in the almost 2 ft deep of shelled corn to retrieve that target and finally had it out of the hole. I scanned the top of the corn pile we dug out and got a good hit. I told Steve to check that spot right there and he reached in and there was the ring. Somebody must have stepped on the ring because it was almost on the bottom. About 5 minutes and we had the ring. Steve said when he got home that Mom surprised Enza by holding out 2 hands and having her pick one, second try she got the big surprise. It never gets old doing this!!

Gold Bracelet Recovered by Rob Ellis, Reston, VA.

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

David & Deborah

David and Deborah called me and asked if I could help him find his wife’s gold bracelet. She lost it several months ago trimming bushes. When I arrived, they showed me cans of debris they kept for me to search, the area where Deborah had trimmed the bushes and told me that was where she lost the bracelet. My versatile Equinox 900 is the first detector I usually start with. I emptied, detected, and refilled the cans, and searched around the bushes. I searched everywhere throughout the backyard where Deborah had walked while doing her yard work. Despite a very detailed hour and a forty-five-minute search, I didn’t find it. Sometimes chains can have a tricky low target signal, so I broke out my Deus 2 and went over the area again for another half hour. David and Deborah came out of the house to tell me that it was OK to stop searching. Although I felt defeated, I rarely give up. As we were walking toward the front yard, I continued to swing my Deus 2. I heard a great signal, and there it was! I took a photo and asked Deborah if she would like to pick it up. They were both stunned and exclaimed how they couldn’t believe I found it!

Catching up on stories, this one is from November 2023.

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

 

For my fellow detectorists:    
Target IDs of this 17.5-gram 14K gold bracelet, Deus2=42, Equinox800=5, Equinox900=6to8.

Surfer Loses Tungsten Ring in Surf at Newport Beach . Found and Returned by Stan the Metal Detector Man

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Metal Detecting Service ready to help you now .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Chris called me asking for help to find his tungsten wedding ring .. He had been surfing at Newport Beach, CA. As he was coming out of the water he took off the top of his wetsuit then realized his wedding ring was missing. Some one on the beach recommended he contact Stan the metal Detector Man. 

I was able to meet him before he left the beach. This was key to helping Chris find his ring. We had the general area where he had been and the action that may have caused the ring to come off his finger. There still was a possibility that his ring was outside in deep waster where he was catching surfing waves. I explained that I only could search the dry sand and water to 4 feet in the surf. 

 

After a half hour I was able to find his ring.. We were lucky because the ring probably came off when he pulled his arm out of the wetsuit while standing in shallow surf. As usual Chris had given up and was very surprised that his ring was found in that location.. After surfing in deeper water for more than an hour, it could have been outside in waters too deep and turbulent to use a metal detector

.

If you have lost something give me a call. We can discuss the circumstances and conditions of the search area to determine if we have a chance to find your valuable. Stan the Metal Detector Man ..  949-500-2136 .. Available 7/24 to help you.

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Rahiti who hails from Tahiti and currently works for HECO on Oahu.  While playing competitive surf polo during the Duke Fest at Kuhio Beach while attempting to hit the ball his Platinum Wedding Band flew off and disappeared in chest deep water.  Since those protected pools get metal detected constantly I told Rahiti we should meet this afternoon immediately after I got off work.  We met in the Zoo Parking lot and then proceeded down to Kuhio Beach.  It was a super high tide and the waves were crashing over the wall and the pool was quite turbulent.  Rahiti thought the ring would be about halfway cross the pool but that water was over my head.  Looking at his pics from the day before when the ring was lost we realized it was probably only a third of the way in.  I told Rahiti I would go as deep as possible then turn parallel to the shore so as to get the most out of the high tide hunt.  I started  at the extreme left side of the grid and went in.  When I reached neck deep water I turned right and immediately got a loud #33 on the Manticore.  I took one scoop and the target was captured.  I could not believe my eyes there was a large Platinum Band in the scoop.  First target, first swing!  I yelled to Rahiti “Got it!”  He looked as surprised as I was for such a quick recovery.  Had he been even a few inches to the right on this hunt we wouldn’t have found the ring.  Totally Blessed!  Much Aloha to Rahiti!

White Gold Wedding Band Set Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC (with Video)

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

This recovery started on Monday, Aug 27th about 1:10 pm, with a text message from Rachel saying, “Hi Jim. Am I able to hire you to search around our beach chairs for my wedding rings?” The text had her phone number, so I called her to get a little more detail. She told me that she took her ring set off and put them in her cover-up pocket to put on suntan lotion. A short time later she took the cover-up off, forgetting about the set. Within seconds, she remembered about them being in the pocket, and they were gone. She was sure they were around the beach chairs. Unfortunately, I wasn’t available for at least an hour or two, but she said she wasn’t going anywhere until she was sure the area was checked.

I called her back about 1:45 pm saying I’d be there in 30-45 minutes. When I got there she was in the parking lot talking to friends. We walked out on the beach and across the sand to where her husband Rob was sitting. The search area was maybe 1.5X1.5 ft.  I had my Equinox 800 with me, turned it on and started swinging. With the ring set being white gold, I knew the VDI (Visual Display Indicator) would show between 8-12, depending on the size of the rings. Within seconds I had an 11 VDI and a strong signal next a beach chair. I asked Rachel if she’d move the beach chair so I could be sure I wasn’t getting interference from it. I swung my machine back over the spot and BINGO! I had to take 2 scoops to get the target out of the hole. I didn’t ask, but I assumed that Rachel and Rob had tried to find the ring set and moved enough sand to bury the ring a little deeper. When I spread the sand out on the beach, Rachel spotted her ring before I did and quickly picked it up. There were a few very happy tears of relief and a big hug from Rachel, who didn’t think she’d get her precious treasure back.

Special thanks to my son, Mike, who’s visiting from CT and took the video for the story.

Rachel and Rob – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Have a great rest of your vacation!!

Jim

Yellow Gold Mans Wedding Band Lost/Found At Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

I received a call regarding a lost yellow gold mans wedding band (with 10-27-23 engraved inside) on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The ring was lost on 07/20/24, while James was enjoying a day at the beach. James had placed his treasured ring in a zippered bag for safe keeping, when he decided to put his ring back on his finger he found that it was no longer in the bag. There had been several people who were going in and out of the bag so James felt that the ring had fallen out of the bag and into the sand. I was given the possible location of the lost ring as being on the beach south of Prospect Street at the South end of Rehoboth boardwalk and about three quarters of the way out towards the water. I searched the area for about an hour and a half with no luck in finding the ring. With the ring being lost in the sand for six days prior to my searching for it I felt that the sand rake had gotten it and moved it or that it had been found by someone else with a metal detector. Feeling that I had done my best to find the ring, I began to walk back to the boardwalk while still swinging my metal detector, I all of a sudden heard a familiar tone in my headset and upon digging the item up I found that it was James lost ring. I then promptly took a photo of the ring and texted the photo to James who was happy to get the news. James was in his home state of Maryland at which time he was attending a wedding. I was told that upon hearing the news of the ring being recovered, everyone at the wedding had asked for my cell number.  James was on his way to Bethany Beach on 07/27/24 so I met him in the parking lot of a local business at which time I reunited him with his lost ring.

White Gold Mans Wedding Band Lost/Found At Cape Henlopen State Park Lewes, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Scott regarding his lost white gold wedding band that had been lost at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Delaware on the beach. Scott said that he had been throwing a football to his son and that his ring flew off of his finger and landed in the wet sand just as a wave washed over top of it. Scott said that he ran over to try to recover his ring, but the ring disappeared into the sand as the water covered it. The ring had been lost several hours prior to low tide so when I arrived it was actually low tide and the area of the lost ring was just wet sand. Scott showed me the area that he had marked where the ring was lost, I began to check the area and with a few swings of the metal detector the lost ring was found and returned to its rightful owner. A spectator who was watching me recover the ring approached me and gave me a fist bump and the group of people that he was with up on the dry sand of the beach were cheering and clapping.
