Jeff started his morning early in Avalon, NJ with plans to go surfing. He placed his key fob in his towel on the beach before heading out for some waves. While out in the water, the beach rake accidentally moved his towel and also took his key fob with it.  He and his wife, Kristen, searched for a few hours with no luck, so they called me to help find it. I met them around 30 minutes later and gathered some information. Jeff explained where he placed the towel, so I started the search in the immediate area. I started with a 50-feet radius that didn’t produce any targets.  I then went to the dump pile of sand, but it wasn’t there either. The next step was to expand the search area.  I got a great signal approximately 175-feet away from where he placed the towel. It was the BMW key fob! The couple was relieved and was able to enjoy the rest of Memorial Day.

Lost wedding rings at North lake, Southbend, Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)

We were contacted about a lost wedding ring set. Lindsay had put them in her pocket while applying sunscreen to everyone.  Well the activities of July 4th happened and when she got back home there was no celebration because her rings of 11 years were gone. Through much communication which included endless questions we started our search.  We endoscoped the boat, dock and searched the cabin area. We headed to another area they were at and my partner Nelson who is my 13yrld son found one and then the other in the shallow water.

Engagement Ring Lost , Found, Returned, With A Metal Detector, In Ocean Park, Maine

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

On Wednesday July 5, 2023, I received a call from Lisa. Lisa explained that her friend had lost her engagement ring at the beach, in Ocean Park, Maine, within the last hour. Lisa went on to explain the her friend was still at the beach, searching for the ring with toy sifters and just running her fingers through the sand. I told Lisa that I would be right there, as I only live about 4 miles from where they were.
I arrived and Lisa met me out on the street and took me to where her friend, Sharon was , and where the ring was lost. Sharon explained that when they arrived at the beach, she sat in the beach chair to apply her sunblock lotion. She removed her ring and placed it in her lap, to apply the lotion. After applying the lotion, Sharon got up, forgetting the ring was in her lap. She immediately realized that the ring was now in the sand and started sifting the sand with her hands, fingers and kids Beach toys. They had no luck with this method and realized they needed a metal detector. Lisa found me by asking a local town association if the had a metal detector. They did not but they did have my business card and Lisa called me immediately.
I had them move their metal Beach chairs and searched the area where Lisa had been sitting. No signals around where the chair was and I started moving away from the chair. About 5-6 feet away from the chair, I received a nice low tone signal and a VDI readout of 12-06 on my CTX-3030. Yup, the engagement ring had been found in literally 2 minutes of searching and Sharon was very very happy to have it back on her finger.  Total time from receiving Lisa’s call to recovering the ring was 25-30 minutes.
This will be a birthday that I will never forget.

Ring Found on July 4th in Volleyball Court in Grand Rapids, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

After getting home from another ring find I get a notice from my friend Gregg Larabel that there is another ring lost and they need help in finding it right now.   I called the number but it went right thru to voice mail so I just showed up at the volleyball court.   A group of people were having lunch nearby and I asked them if somebody had lost a ring in the volleyball court-their reply was yes but they did not know who it was.   I just grabbed my equipment and started to search for the ring.   Just got started and Allen and his wife show up, they had been sitting in a group outside their apartment and saw me start the search.   The ring that was lost was Allen’s wedding ring.   Allen showed me what he was doing when his ring flew off his hand and the direction he thinks it went.   I started my grid of that area and after finding 2 pennies the third target was his ring.   Allen gave me a big hug and we just saved another marriage.

Wedding Set recovered at Sea Girt Beach NJ

Got a message from Michael asking for help in locating his wife’s Loree wedding set. I called as soon as I got the message and told him i’d be there in 20 minutes if he’d wait, he agreed and I met them at the beach. While out enjoying the 4th of July on the beach with his family, Loree took off her rings and put them in the side pocket of her beach bag so she could take her son down to the water to swim. During the day the bag got knocked over and the rings fell out without her knowing. Leaving the beach she remembered her rings and they were gone. She was devastated. They took me to where they were sitting and I found 1 of them right away but couldn’t find the other in the same area. I searched some more and about 5 feet from the first one I found the other. She couldn’t stop crying for joy when she got her rings back on her hand where they belonged. A great Happy Ending.

Ring Found At South Haven, Michigan on July 4th

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

John called me last night and said he lost his platinum wedding band in about thigh deep water just south of the South Beach. He and his wife and kids are vacationing from California with friends and family for a couple of weeks. Larabel was busy so Tom Cleary agreed to meet me there this morning to find this ring. After about 2 hours of searching I was tired out and turned the detector over to John. Gave him a 2 minute instruction on how to handle the detector and he was off and running. After about an hour John calls me over and says he has a good reading on the detector that I had told him about. I helped him dig the target and there was his ring. We had been searching in too deep of water and his ring was only in water below the knees. John saved his own vacation memories with this find. John and Vanessa toasting the new found ring.

Lost wedding band, Found wedding band under floating waterpark!

  • from Key West (Florida, United States)

Gotta call from Rachel who is a local here in Key West.

She and her friends were having a blast jumping in and out of the water when she climbed back up onto the float she noticed right away that her solder 2 ring platinum band fell off.

After speaking to Rachel and getting the details. The ring was lost in 10’ of water. Not easy to move around under a Waterpark with my battery powered Blu3 nomad hookah system. So I decided to rent some tanks/gear to be able to freely swim and hunt under the float.
Because this float is owned by Furry water adventures . We had permission to go when they closed in the afternoon.  So I took my boat to the floating park. Got my gear on and went in the water.
As I’m underwater making my way over to the area she thought it was lost at. I Swung my detector back and forth picking up a target or two. As I get under the area I notice to my left the ring sitting on the sand . I knew right away it was her ring because it was lost the day before and it was soldered together sitting right on top of sand.  Right where she said she thought it had came off at.
It’s always an amazing feeling to see how grateful and appreciative the people get when they see their lost keepsakes that they thought was lost forever back in their hands.
