*** Alex and his brother had been planning a motorcycle road trip from San Francisco to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for years. Alex lives in San Francisco,  CA. and his brother lives in Ontario, Canada. 

The time had come to fulfill their dreams. John, Alex’s brother shipped his classic Yamaha motorcycle to California where he and Alex started the first leg of their trip, 450 miles to O’Neil  Park campgrounds in Santa Margarita, Orange County, CA. The next morning John decided to do a cleaning of his carburetor which required dismantling it, he has done it many times over the years. Unfortunately he dropped a very small part into a dry river bed with lots of sand and baseball size rocks. This small brass part was not your easily replaced item as the motorcycle was 30+ years old and they were miles away from any services.

They had cellphones and were able to contact me. I met them at campsite C70. We walked over to an area 25 yards from their sleeping area. John showed me where he been sitting. It had been littered with shrubbery which he had removed. The rocks had big crevices  between  them with holes that could swallow a small brass washer like part (half the size of a dime). Fifteen to twenty minutes later I got a signal using my Garrett AT Pinpointer. The small brass part was between two rocks covers with small twigs. Trip saved, I took a photo of the part and John immediately began to install the carburetor on his motorcycle. They told , they would be leaving as soon as possible to be at the border of Mexico before days end. 

I never know what the next call will be. This was unique and it could’ve ruined their dream trip. It was my pleasure to be a part of their adventure. I never know  what the next call will be..

Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Elkridge, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a call last week from David stating that he lost his white gold wedding band while spreading seed and straw at a construction site he was working on in Elkridge Maryland. David was almost positive he could put me in the area that he lost it. Due to several days of consistent rain, we put off the search until yesterday (April, 4th 2024). Even though the rain subsided for the most part, the search area was a muddy pit to say the least! My boots were sinking into the mud every step I took. Just as I thought we were going to have to postpone the search until the area dried out, I got the hit on my metal detector!

David was surprised and relieved when I told him that my work is done here! He stared down at the ground in front of me for a few seconds and eventually saw is lost ring! At first glance it looked like trash amongst the mud, straw and pebbles! A quick wipe down and it was back where it belonged!

A few factors made this recovery successful. David was able to put me in the area where he was almost certain he lost his band. After realizing that a visual search and even an attempt to find it himself with a low-end detector did not produce results, he was quick to contact me through theringfinders.com.  It was a pleasure to return this wedding band to where it belongs!

Lost ring in Big Sand Lake, Orlando, Florida….Found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:


I received a call from Jason asking if I could help him find his wife’s diamond engagement ring that was thrown into a 10 foot deep canal! Of course I had more than a few questions to help me determine the likelihood of actually finding her lost ring. Come to find out one of Jason’s sons got a hold of his mom’s ring and, for some strange reason, decided to run outside and give it a toss into the water! After hearing the story of what all happened I decided to take my kayak and check out what I was up against. Turns out the water was exactly 10 feet deep with lily pads on both sides of the canal and at least a foot of silt on the bottom with a whole lot of aquatic weeds of different kinds as well. Jason pointed to the “area” where he was fairly sure the ring landed and I dropped a weight and marker for the following days search.

Scuba was required and I opted to use my Blu3 Nemo Dive system and the hand held Pulse Dive scuba detector combined with a PVC grid layout that measured 6 foot by 10 foot. After clearing a path thru the lily pads I towed my PVC grid out over the target area and let it sink to the bottom. I spent the next two hours scouring the bottom and moving my grid to be sure I was covering, what I thought was the exact spot, where the ring hit the water. And as I was finishing up…Jason’s dear wife came out to see how it was going and she said, “I think it landed more to the right!” So with one last push I switched out my battery, moved my PVC grid and prayed to God that Mrs Jason was correct! I swept my hand held pin pointer all the way around my grid and as I was finishing up I got one last small signal. I grabbed down into the mud trying to feel the object that was causing the detector to beep and finally found a small circular object. At first I thought it might be just a washer or rusty nut but as I cleared the mud away I held it up close to my dive mask and I could just make out a shiny diamond…and not just one diamond but a whole bunch of diamonds! I literally started yelling and hollering…”I found it, I found it, thank you God, thank you God!” Jason and his wife were stunned and so, so thankful to have their ring back…especially since they were moving the next day to California!!

Ring lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Nicholas put his wedding ring in an ice chest for safe keeping while on the beach. The problem was, he forgot it was there and dumped the icy contents of the chest by the pedestrian entrance trash cans when leaving the beach. He didn’t even realize it was missing until he made it home 2 hours away. He was about to write it off as lost, but, figured it was a worth a shot to try and recover it even though it was a long shot in his mind since it had been a couple of days already. He found me on the Ring Finders directory and made contact. With just a map and a couple of circled spots to search, I headed to the beach on a cold, rainy, windy day. The first area was a bust, but, after moving some trash cans out of the way, the second area produced his ring. Today, Nicholas and his wife made another trip here and happily picked up his ring. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

Cartier Watch Lost in Sand Found and Returned by Newport Beach Ringfinder

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

Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you find your lost sentimental item. Call or text 24/7 for assistance including information on how to find your lost metallic keepsake. Stan ..949-500-2136

*** I love it when a friend or relative calls me asking for help to find their friend’s lost sentimental item. It happens more than I ever expected. Christine’s mother called me asking for help to find her daughter’s Cartier watch that could be in the sand near a volleyball court. She told me that her daughter had been watching a volleyball game on the sand at Newport Beach, CA. 

The loss happened three days before calling me and her daughter didn’t realize the ring was missing until later that evening. This watch was very sentimental to her and she was devastated. Considering the length of time since the loss and how many other places she had been before discovering the watch was lost, I told her mother I could grid search the beach area. At least, when I finish, I could say it was not there. Although, I did think there was a strong possibility the watch could be there, I did not want to give them false hope.

There was no need for them to meet me at the location, because they gave me good directions and provided me with a few photos. After an hour of grid searching, I found the watch. I called them and sent a photo of the watch. We met that afternoon to give it to her mother, who had not told Christine. She was going to surprise Christine that evening.

Metal detecting is my passion Metal detector is the best tool find jewelry in sand, dirt, grass or water. I offer my experience to help you. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “

Online Plea For Ring Lost On Surf City, NC Beach Results In Successful Return

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Nevaeh made a post in late January about a very sentimental ring she lost the previous May on the beach.  She informed me that after a swim and as she was on the beach house steps, she felt the ring slip off.

Nevaeh’s fiancé gave her the ring for their first Christmas together and around the time she got her first tattoo of the sun.  Her fiancé had the Tiffany & Co. (her favorite jewelry brand) ring engraved with a picture of the sun.  This added to the sentimental value of the ring for her.

I contacted Nevaeh about the post and she agreed to allow me to search the area.  I parked at her friend’s beach house and was able to locate her ring about 4 inches down in the sand.  She & I was surprised it was still there and not more deeply buried by sand.  Being buried in the sand for 8 months made the silver ring a bit tarnished but Nevaeh informed me she would have it cleaned as soon as possible.

2 Lost Rings on the Beach – Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I’m starting out my 8th year of doing this and my first ring of the year actually turned out to be two rings!  Tammy and her husband Andrew brought their beautiful family down from Kentucky to enjoy Perdido. They had spent the day on the beach and as it started to be time to leave, Tammy panicked when she realized her wedding band and her engagement ring were no longer on her hand. They had a general idea where they had been on the beach but she wasn’t sure where the rings were.  She quickly did some googling and found my FB page, Pensacola Ring Finders. She texted me while my wife and I were at dinner and I quickly called her back. She was in luck that my wife who is my good luck charm was up for a trip to Perdido. We got there as quickly as possible, prepared with flashlights to search into the night. After talking with Tammy and Andrew there were three areas they had played volleyball and I decided to start in the one that Tammy had described first. I made one pass and then a second. On my third turn I got a good gold sound. I’ve learned that this could be a pull tab and not to sound the alarm quite yet so I gently scooped up the first signal. I needn’t have worried and quickly saw the diamonds from the wedding band in the scoop. I called Tammy over and said, “well here’s one!” 😃  The second one was still missing so I started back searching in the same general area. It wasn’t long until I heard a strong platinum tone. This time I couldn’t help but smile and I scooped down very carefully and saw the flash of the engagement ring in the edge of the sand. I let Tammy pull it out of the scoop and celebrate with her family as she returned it to its rightful place on her hand. I love doing this. I can’t wait to see who else I will be able to help this year. See you soon. 😉

Lost White Gold Wedding Ring at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Lindsey who was on vacation from Reno, Nevada.  While throwing a football in waist deep water at Aulani Beach Ko Olina resort her husband Jason’s White Gold Wedding Ring flew off and into the shallow water of the lagoon and disappeared into the soft white sand.  She had been wearing his ring for safe keeping.  It was nearly knock-off from work so I told Lindsey I would run home grab my gear and head out to the resort before rush hour traffic.  When I arrived Lindsey came down to the beach and showed me the area to hunt.  There were many tourists on the beach but knowing what happened they graciously let me work.  Lindsey took her son down the beach to see what wildlife they might encounter and she was going to check back with me in a few moments.  I fired up the Manticore and began my grid search.  I just cleared this lagoon a few weeks ago so I didn’t get any targets until a nice solid No. 35 on the beast and in one scoop there was Jason’s White Gold Band in the scoop.  I could see Lindsey was finishing up her walk and Jason had joined her with their two daughters and son.  I yelled over”I got it”  and Lindsey said, Really?”  I showed them the ring and they assured me it was the one.  We took a few pics and I was able to explain the metal detector to the inquisitive children.  Always an opportunity to share the hobby!  Aloha to Jason, Lindsey and their children!

Valuable Heirloom Gold Ring Lost for 6 Weeks, Found in Compost Pile

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

Maureen habitually took off her heirloom ring in the kitchen, a beautiful gold, diamond and emerald ring handed down from her Grandmother.
One day, she caught up the ring as she swept the peelings off the benchtop into the bin.

She didn’t realise until later when she went to collect the ring and noticed it was no longer in its place.

A frantic search yielded no sign of it, and with subsequent searches over the next few weeks she narrowed it down to either having been thrown out with the rubbish, or buried in the compost.

She gave me a call, obviously there was nothing I could do in the worst case scenario of it going out in the rubbish collection, however I could search the compost (I’ve searched through far worse than domestic compost in the past!).

A quick scan with the high powered machine gave a target deep in the bin, could be a ring, or could be foil.
Only one way to find out, roll up the sleeves and on with the nitrile gloves.

I had a rough idea of where it sat inside the compost and it was well down after six weeks of additional food scraps and lawn clippings.
A dense cloud of fruit flies instantly erupted out of the compost as I scooped most of the recent material away and investigated deeper with the handheld probe.

Wasn’t long before I had pinpointed the location and I dug further into the slimy mass, checking each handful until I caught a glimpse of gold in the ooze.

I lifted it out and showed a tearful Maureen.
A quick rinse under the garden tap and it shone brightly once again, no worse off for it’s little adventure and another story added to its hundred-plus history.
