I got a call from a young man who had lost his phone. He was on a small bridge over a section of a river near his house, when while taking pictures, he dropped the phone in the water. I asked how long it had been since the loss, and he told me a week. My heart dropped when he told me the amount of time that had gone by, but he assured me that the phone should still be there, so I drove out to meet him.

When I got there we walked out to the spot where the loss occurred, and he explained what happened. He also told me that he had done his own searches during that week to no avail. I looked into the water, and the deepest area was no more than 4 feet deep with a sandy bottom, and I was having a hard time figuring out why he wasn’t able to find it; it should have just been laying there! Well I got ready, and stepped into the water, and as soon as my foot hit bottom I understood why it disappeared, there was 8 inches of silt that looked like sand. The bottom was real clean of metal trash, and then under the bridge I received a real good signal, put my scoop in, and up came a beer can. I searched again, and in the same area another good signal, this time it was his phone. It was still there after a week, and still working; amazing. Made his day!

Heirloom Gold Necklace Lost at Hanson Dam…Found and Happily Returned.

Bekah called distraught because she had lost something very sentimental to her while at a family picnic. She and her family had gone to the Hanson Dam Recreation Area for a get together, and while walking around, she noticed the necklace she was wearing was not around her neck any longer. The necklace and pendant had been in her family for generations, and it made her feel extremely bad to know she had lost it. We arranged to meet, and I was on my way.

When I arrived Bekah and I found each other, and she took me out to the area of the loss. The area wasn’t real huge, but the grass area was littered with metal trash which slowed the search process considerably. I searched stopping every few inches to check for the missing necklace, and Bekah followed along with high hopes. We covered all of the area, so I asked if she had been anywhere else, and she showed me another strip of grass she had been in, and I began to search there with her right beside me on the adjacent pavement. My process again was real slow checking every few inches, when all of a sudden I heard a cry of emotion from Bekah. It happened that as she was following me ever so slowly, her foot bumped something on the pavement, and when she looked down, she saw the necklace. She was certain it was lost in the grass, but like I always tell people I help; it may not be where you expect it to be. Also the day she lost it, she was frantic in her search, and she overlooked it though it was in plain sight. Sometimes you just need to slow down a bit, and my slow search made that happen for her. She was thrilled to have it back.

Wedding Set Found and Returned. Gurnee, Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Sharita asking if I was available to do a ring search for her. We agreed to meet after we both got off of work. Her rings had slipped off of her hand into some thick, viney ground cover and mulch while walk in the dark. When her and her husband tried finding it they covered it up with some mulch under the thick patch of vines. I couldn’t get a good signal from my big detector because of the density  of  the ground cover. So I slowly went through all of the mulch and ground cover with my handheld pinpointer,  until I found them both!
It took me about 20 mins to find them.

Success! Another smile for the book!

LOST SHEETS OF GOLD in CHAPEL HILL, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This will be one of my best but craziest recoveries EVER! I still can’t believe I was actually able to find it for the daughter of the deceased man that buried it in their backyard during his later stages of Dementia. Yes, he buried the sheets of GOLD that were rolled up and put together with paperclips. I know I will get comments like it is gold leaf. but it is 100% NOT GOLD LEAF; it is heavy and in sheets as stated. He used this gold to make chips.

The original story was that her father had made a small GOLD BAR out of the gold, but when I found it, I knew I had found what he had buried and what she was hoping I would find. It took me about an hour and a half to get the signal of this lost treasure! The backyard was full of leaves, rocks, trees and it wasn’t an easy target to find, luckily there wasn’t much other metal items in the natural area behind the house. That alone made it easier to locate the GOLD! The estimated total GOLD weight of what I think is 24K gold is about 15g to 20g.

Neeta called and asked for help finding her husband’s wedding ring. He had been playing at the beach with their daughter when he noticed it gone. It had happened earlier that day, so the timing was right; always, the sooner the better. I got down there as soon as I could.

We began the search, and she put me close, because it did not take very long to find it. Neeta was very pleased to be able to have her husband’s ring back so quickly, and I was happy for a great outcome that day.

I received a call from Favio who had lost his cell phone the night before at the beach. He was wondering if I would be able to do a search for him, and I let him know I was available. I asked if the phone was still showing on the find my phone app, and he said that it was, which boosted hope for a successful recovery. We arranged to meet at the location that evening.

When I arrived Favio had some car trouble and was a late in coming, so I asked him to send me a map of the area, and where he believed the phone had been lost so I could begin my search while he was in transit. I had almost completed the search area when Favio and his friends arrived. They then moved the search area a bit North of where I had been searching, and within about 20 minutes, I was able to hand his phone back. Favio then explained how he had recently come South from Alaska, and purchased the best phone he could afford in order to be able to do some film work, so this recovery was furthering his dream career. I was very happy to make his day.

Car Keys Thrown from Apartment Balcony in Birmingham, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

On Friday morning, November 24th, 2023, I received a call from Gary stating his adult son, Greg, had thrown both sets of his own car keys from his 3rd story apartment balcony in Birmingham, Alabama.  Greg was going through some rough times in life, which eventually led to this outcome.  We’re all human and life happens.  Thrown items occur way more than people think.  The important thing was that I had an accurate account of what happened.  This can mean the difference between a find vs. no find.  At the time of Gary’s call, I was still in Tampa, FL on vacation, but I was about to head to the airport to fly back to Huntsville, AL.  I told Gary that I could conduct a search the following morning when I was back in town.

I met Gary and Greg in Birmingham at noon on Saturday.  I grabbed two rocks that were similar in size to a car key fob, and we headed up to Greg’s apartment balcony.  I had Greg re-enact the 2 throws using the rocks.  I took a photo and marked the location they landed at (photo below).  We headed down the stairs to the back of the apartment complex to start the search.  We had to hop the fence and slide down a bit of an incline to get to the location the rocks landed at.

I started a grid search with my Minelab Equinox 900 metal detector and shortly noticed that there were quite a few trash targets in the area.  The ground was covered with leaves, so I needed to check all targets with my pin pointer to make sure I didn’t miss the keys.  A few minutes into the search, Gary had visually found the first set of keys!  They were about 15 feet to the left of where the first rock landed.  I headed to the second location and began detecting there.  Soon after, I also visually spotted the second set of keys.  This set was about 10 feet from where the second rock landed.  Both sets of car keys were found!!  Gary and Greg were both very thankful and relieved.  We gave praise to God for the quick double recovery.

After we celebrated and took some photos (Gary and Greg politely declined to be in the photo), Gary and I headed to my favorite Birmingham seafood restaurant, The Fish Market, for lunch.  We enjoyed a nice meal and fellowship together.  Gary thanked me again and I was on the road headed back to Huntsville.  I thank the Lord for another successful recovery and safe trip home.  I also pray for Greg and his journey in life.  Until the next adventure, please take care and God bless!

Rob called me after they had search for a couple hours for his wife’s very sentimental ring from her home in Vietnam. She was enjoying her first experience of snow and was throwing it. This was an old property with 100’s of signals and lots of foot traffic because of its location. After about 15 minutes I was able to recover it, not to far from their search area.

Lost in Beach Sand .. Cartier Love Bracelet at Newport Beach .. Recovered by RingFinder

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

 

Who are you going to call when you lose something in the sand, grass, surf or any place that can’t be visually searched.. Call or text .. Stan the RingFinder … 949-500-2136

*** Laura was on her vacation with her family visiting Newport Beach. She called me the day after closing her white gold Cartier Love Bracelet. Her call came about noon which concerned me as this beach gets a daily sifting by the beach cleaning crew. Objects as large as a bangle type bracelet can be picked up by the sifting machine or moved a distances from the loss zone.

Like many people, Laura had no idea of how a metal detector works, so I took a few minutes to demonstrate. We discussed where she had been the day she realized her precious bracelet went missing. I told her I would be removing all metal signals as I did the grid search and this is a tedious process that may take a couple hours. It is not something that she has to stand by to help. She could go about her day on the beach and I would let her know when and if I found the bracelet.

About an hour into the rather large search area, I got the perfect signal. I was almost positive that this was the treasure I had been searching for. One scoop with my sand scoop prove this was Laura’s White Gold Cartier Love Bracelet. I walked over to where she had set up her beach chair at the waters edge to present her with the bracelet. Always a very emotional moment and definitely hard to express the reaction we get when we can return an item that they believed was lost forever.. 

I provide a mobile metal detecting service for all of Orange County and Los Angeles County. Basically any of the Southern California cities.. Call or text now for service or information on how this works… Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE
