Nathanael texted me late one night to see if I could help him find his platinum wedding ring which he lost in the surf while videoing himself and a friend. (He actually had a video of the very moment that he lost his ring…which he did not even realize at the time!). I asked him a few questions and come to find out he had posted on Facebook that night about his loss and even had a few people respond…offering to help him. I normally ask people NOT to post online where and when they lost something as I want to be able to offer my service and actually attempt a search and recovery before a bunch of “people” show up and start randomly searching. Many times there are “good people” who offer to look for and try and help find a lost item with the good intention of returning the lost item if they happen to find it…which is GREAT and what we hope and pray happens…BUT there are those “other people” who will go out and if they find it they will NOT return it to the rightful owner! So in this case I told Nathanael that I would not be able to conduct a proper search with the high possibility of others showing up and searching as well and plus it would be an hour and a half drive one way. Nathanael understood and I wished him luck and said goodbye!

An hour later I received another call from a young lady who lost a diamond engagement ring in the grass and she was only 7 miles away from where Nathanael lost his ring in the surf…in the same town of Melbourne! Both individuals were leaving the very next day from Melbourne and I felt compelled to go real early and trust God to help me find the young lady’s lost engagement ring and then I could drive the 7 miles to the beach and get set up early and chase the tide out until I got over Nathanael’s ring. God gave me peace to attempt both searches in one day! I was able to find Jessica’s ring in about 20 minutes and actually got over to the Hilton by 9:30…which was 5 hours before low tide.

After talking to the Hotel Concierge and obtaining permission to park I gathered my equipment and walked out onto the beach expecting to see some people out there with metal detectors…but there were none! Nathanael had given me great photos and very accurate information as to where he was and that fact that he lost it close to high tide would allow me to search the wet sand as the tide receded! Three hours later I started digging some deeper targets close to some hard coral patches and my last target was Nathanael’s lost platinum wedding ring! In two days it had gone down at least 6 inches in the sand and I was so so thankful to God for allowing me to find this ring. Two in one day…what a thrill!!

Michigans Upper Penninsula

  • from Torch Lake (Michigan, United States)

Got a call about a very sentimental ring lost in the southern part of the upper peninsula.  Little over 2 hr drive and had some 5-6 ft waves and high winds to battle with.   The owner had a very detailed description of where and how the ring was lost and was able to locate the ring within 30 mins or so.   Shipped back to a very happy owner who was from out of state.  Great experience, and happy customer. 

Spring time find

  • from Torch Lake (Michigan, United States)

Received a call earlier on Sunday morning for a ring lost near a dock.  Set up a time and arrived within a couple hours and spent roughly an hour with some dock moving and raking and was able to recover the missing wedding band.  Owner was grateful and very happy I was able to help.  Thank you again!

Joseph called me for help in finding his lost ring. He had been playing volley ball with friends, when he hit the ball, and his ring flew off. After an unfruitful search in the sand at the court, he called. I was available, and knowing that he was still at the spot encouraged me to go immediately to try and have a successful recovery.

When I got to the beach Joseph saw me walking in his direction, and waved me over. We talked a bit about what had happened, where he was standing when he hit the ball, and where he believed the ring went into the sand. I got my equipment ready, and let him know that it could possibly be in another part of the court, but my search would find it. I began in the direction he showed me, and within 30 seconds I was able to give him back his ring. He was very happy, and I was happy for him. A great day!

Lost ring found in the driveway

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)

I found this titanium and rose gold ring for this guy. It came off his finger when he was brushing saw dust off his pants. He was on his deck when it came off , and he said he heard it hit twice. I went out to search twice, and found it at the end of the 2nd day. It was out further in the driveway. It just proved to me that you have to search out farther than where you think it is. After being out there for over 16 hours, Raymond has his ring back, and a lot less metal buried in his yard.I found this titanium and rose gold ring for Raymond in his driveway. I had searched the driveway, as well as the surrounding area, but didn’t go out far enough. It had came off his finger when he was brushing saw dust off his pants. He said that he heard it bounce twice, but he had no luck trying to find it on his own using a friend’s metal detector. He searched on the internet and found the ring finders and texted me. It took me two days to find it, but I finally got it. I learned a valuable lesson in those two days. You can’t keep searching over the same area, you have to go out farther than you think it is. I was happy to have found Raymond’s ring for him, and I also felt bad for making his kids wait for over 16 hours at their house while I meandered around the yard digging holes. LOL

1920s Platinum Diamond and Ruby Ring Lost in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

Shortly before 3 pm on Saturday, May 18th, I received a call from Ashlee asking if I could help find her mother, Alison’s ring that had been given to her by her grandmother years ago. Ashlee said that the ring had been dropped from their elevated dock into the ICW. I knew the tide was coming in but wasn’t sure of when high tide would be. Ashlee said she had been under the dock doing a reach and feel search and the water was about waist deep. I told her I was just finishing up another search and I was on my way.

It took me about 20 minutes to arrive and I met Alison, her granddaughter, and Ashlee in the driveway. As we walked around back, Alison described her ring and showed me the location where the ring fell through. I asked if it could have gotten stuck in the planks and was told the granddaughter heard a “plunk.” I got a few more details and walked down some stairs into the water. This was a perfect search scenario, water was warm, soft sand bottom, no waves and not above my knees. Walked out to the location, swung the detector twice and got a solid 12 (perfect number on the Nox 800 for Platinum). Took a scoop of sand and as I pulled it out of the water, I saw Allison’s beautiful ring sticking out of the sand. As I’m walking up the stairs, I hollered at Allison saying, “where you at?” She said something like, “you find it?” I held it up for her to see. She was so grateful she had her ring back. What a thrill for me to be holding a beautiful ring with 100 years of history. I found out that Alison was going to pass the ring down to her granddaughter but not for many many years. Ashlee told me that her great grandmother had lived in England with her husband (Ken and Lillian Scott) and that’s where the ring came from.

Ashlee – thank you for trusting me to help find your mother’s ring.

Alison – so glad I got to meet you and return your lost treasure.

I got a call a couple days ago from a lady in Colorado. Her son and daughter in law live in Vermont. A year and a half ago her husband was visiting Vermont helping to build an office in the “kids” barn, when he realized his wedding ring had fallen off. He had been working with insulation, hanging drywall, painting boards, etc.

It was a beautiful, engraved ring that he had worn for 40 years. They searched and after leaving, the son went through everything with no luck.

So, I went over today to do a search between the house and barn. Literally 2 minutes into the search, got a great signal, dug into the grass a little with my finger, and there it was. Still in perfect condition!

I love these searches !!

Condo Key Lost on the Beach Access Path, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

Evan called me asking if I could help find a condo key that was lost along the beach access path from the condo to the beach. I got the address and was on my way. I arrived about 20 minutes later and met Evan, his wife Taryn and their son Jagger. The story goes that Jagger was walking along the path with the ‘only’ Condo key on top of a towel, a dog barked, Jagger twisted around, and the key went flying. I had my Nox 800 and knew the VDI (visual display indicator) would ring up around a 19-21. I searched down the path, then both sides with heavy undergrowth with no luck. After roughly 45 minutes I called it. I was exhausted from another ocean search and had no energy.

This morning, I text Evan saying I was coming back to give the key another shot. I also said that he didn’t have to be out there, that I’d let him know either way. When I got there, I concentrated my search on the right side of the path and further out in the undergrowth. After Taryn telling me what happened and running the scenario through my head all night, it only made sense the key would be on the right side. Things are never as they seem! After a bit of searching on the right, I moved to the left side. After about 5 minutes, I hit the 19 VDI I was looking for. Used my pin pointer and nailed the key buried along the edge of the path in the sand. I had noticed that Taryn was sitting on the balcony and pointed up at her. She yelled down, “Did you find it?” I held the key up and she disappeared into the house on her way down. A great day, Jagger was out of the doghouse, Evan or Taryn didn’t have to stay in the condo while the rest of the family went to the beach or out for the day.

Evan and Taryn – Thank you for trusting me to help find your key. Have a great rest of your vacation and a safe journey back home.

LOST COBALT WEDDING RING IN WENDEL…….FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call from a couple that the husband had lost his cobalt wedding ring in the yard.

Arranged a good date and time to meet and attempt to find it. Took me about 15 mins because it wasn’t in the flower bed where he thought he had lost it. It was about 3 feet out in the grass. Got a 55 in Deus mono due to very high EMI.

Feels good to recover and return priceless items.
