Ring lost at La Jolla Shores found

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

Nouhrra spent the whole day at La Jolla Shores and when she got back to the car, she realized a precious ring given to her by her mother, was missing off her finger. Since she had been in many areas that day and didn’t feel it come off, there was no way to know where to look. A friend of hers contacted me for help. They couldn’t stay and show me all the areas where Nouhrra had been, but, they sent me a couple of videos of two of the areas in the dry sand. The ring could have been lost in a grass area too, as well as the parking lot. When I got to the beach, I started to eliminate each area one by one. I started with the dry sand area shown in the video. No good there, so, off to the path she had taken to the grass area, and then the grass area itself. Nothing turned up after 4 hours of searching, so, I had to break the bad news that it just wasn’t in those areas, or, it may have been found by someone else. I asked for a photo to keep on file in case it turned up. I always check with fellow detecting club members and others I know that detect that area on rings that I haven’t been able to find. I received the photo, but, it didn’t match the description they gave me. I was assured that the photo was correct, so, I kept it even though it was a bit blurry. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I’m back at that beach for fun and detecting a nearby area. Well, right up against the sea wall, I get a sketchy signal. With the rebar inside the wall, any repeatable signal is worth investigating, so, in went the scoop, and out came a ring that looked sort of familiar to me. When I got home I went through my recent messages and came across the “lost and not found” ring. With the poor photo, I was still uncertain it was the exact one. A few more texts, questions back and forth, and another photo that showed the ring more clearly, confirmed that it was the one Nouhrra lost. A pleasure to meet you Nouhrra and thank you for the reward.

… Received a call early on a Sunday morning from Nick. He had rented a metal detector to find his gold wedding ring lost in his back yard. The home is just a few miles from me in the city of Irvine, CA.

I was free to leave my place and be at his home within a few minutes. He said he would be home all day.

When I arrived he showed me a cement patio with raised 2 foot wide planters around the edges of the whole deck area. A 6ft. block wall on one side and the other side was his house. He had swung at a bee when’s his gold wedding band went bouncing off the patio floor.

Actually there were very few areas that could hide a ring. Some places had low voltage garden lighting wires that was a bit troublesome but I worked through that problem. The ring showed up masked by some of the wires and in a small clump of dandelion plant. Nick and his daughter were watching me when I got the signal. They were surprised where the ring was found because they had searched that spot. It was a ha-pay ending for all.

Lost Engagement Ring in Kenner, Louisiana – FOUND

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

Joseph called and asked for help in finding his fiancé’s, Ingrid, lost engagement ring. They were having an argument, and she threw her diamond engagement ring across the street into his neighbor’s driveway or yard. Carrie and I loaded up our equipment the next morning for the 3-hour drive to the site. When we got to the house, we were early, and Ingrid had not arrived yet. We started a hunt in Joseph’s yard while waiting. We met the neighbor and received permission to hunt their yard. Ingrid arrived soon after. We talked to her some and then had her throw an assortment of rings and washers tied with plastic flagging tape. When I collected the flagged items, I saw the ring in plain view on the driveway. We reunited Ingrid with her ring, took pictures and headed home.

Thank you for your generous reward.

Wedding Band Goes Missing During Barbecue…Found Over Fence in Gaithersburg, Maryland

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)
Contact:

Walleed’s platinum wedding band that had gone missing for days before RING HERO Brian Rudolph had finally found it in the grass on another adjacent property!

Walleed and Anya excitedly showing off the wedding band that traveled 35 feet off their back deck which detectorist Brian Rudolph had found!

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses & Vehicles) Will Find Your Lost Keepsake! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Walleed and Anya have been married for 5 years. Walleed had never lost his platinum wedding band until the other day. He lost the ring while barbecuing on his townhouse’s second floor deck. While throwing a nail out back which his five year old son had found, the man’s ring flew off with it!

The family searched with a metal detector for over an hour but they couldn’t find the irreplaceable keepsake anywhere. Finally, Walleed went online and found me on my Metal Detecting Adventures Inc website. He was thinking of renting a higher quality metal detector from my company.

After talking on the phone with my potential client, I convinced Walleed that the best thing to do would be to hire me to find his lost ring instead of renting some equipment. Many people who rent from my company do not find what they set out to search for. Then, they hire me…THE RING HERO! Walleed got smart from the get go and we set up a time for me to conduct the search.

I am happy to share that I successfully found my client’s special wedding band! After metal detecting the entire backyard (which included the lawn, flower beds and between all of the wooden fence slots), I decided that my next plan of action was to search on the other side of the rear fence. That’s where I recovered Walleed’s wedding ring! It had flown 35 feet from the deck and landed part way down the hill on the other side of the fence!

Walleed and Anya were so very happy to see again the very wedding band that Anya had placed on her husband’s finger approximately five years earlier! The couple were relieved and extremely grateful that they hired a professional ring finder to do the search which as a result would end up bringing the heavy sentimental platinum ring back home to Walleed’s finger!

New IPhone 15 Lost in Sand at Huntington City Beach .. Found after Hours of Detecting

Call as soon as possible if you’ve lost something important that a metal detector can find. Contact Stan the Metal Detector Man .. Call or Text 949-500-2136 …

  

  Alex lost his new iPhone 15 in the dry sand at Huntington City Beach, CA. It was late at night when the phone went missing . He was at the location first thing the location the first thing the next morning. His phone was showing up on the find my phone app and it still had 20% battery life.

He called me for help after he and his friend spent a couple hours walking the area and his phone was not visible. I have a lot of faith in the find me app, so I said I’d be there in a half hour.

This search got crazy. Two hours into the search, Alex told me he had to leave. I got obsessed with this search because it was still showing up on his father’s computer and it still had 10% battery. It was a matter that I had to find out how far off the coordinates were. Two more hours I finally found his phone. It was actually maybe 40 ft from where we started,in an area he said he never went that far up the beach.

The phone had been run over by a tractor or a lifeguard patrol vehicle. The case was bent and it still was powered up. I learned a lot and Alex said he believed his insurance would pay to replace the phone.

Don’t waste your time renting or buying a cheap metal detector. If you don’t have any experience operating one, it could be very frustrating. Let me come to you with the best equipment available and experience for recovering all types of sentimental keepsakes. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. Mobile metal detecting service .. 949-500-2136

Gifted 14K Gold Wedding Ring, Lost In The Ocean, in Crescent Beach State Park, Cape Elizabeth, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

Recovery and return #35, in the past year. Should you ever lose a ring, keys, phone, jewelry or anything metallic, contact The Ring Finders of Maine, for a chance to get your item back, that you thought was lost forever.

On Wednesday, May 29th, 2024, I found a Men’s Wedding Ring and posted it to Facebook, in the hopes, the owner would recognize it and I would be able to return it. One of the comments, on my post was from Samantha. She commented, “My son lost a Gold Wedding Ring, at Crescent Beach, last weekend, if you ever find anything there”.
I replied that I was sorry to hear this and could she send me a Facebook private message, which she did. I replied with an aerial view of Crescent Beach State Park, Cape Elizabeth, ME, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I marked off 5 sections of the large beach area and asked Samantha if her son had lost the ring in one of the 5 sections. She sent back my photo, with an area, circled in yellow and told me it was lost in that area. She then sent another PM and stated

“ He lost it in the water, a little bit, but the tides were in between. He’s only 9 and it was my Dad’s ring, that he gave to him. He was super sad, when it fell off”.

I replied with,
“So not to deep. I am not familiar with this beach but I can certainly give it a try. I do have waterproof detectors. You say the tides were in between, so he wasn’t way out there”.

Samatha replied, “He wasn’t way out! Dry sand was a very short distance behind me. The beach that day was pretty clear as well, so we could see the bottom. Just couldn’t find the ring”.

I then told her that I had a previous commitment, the next morning, Thursday, was going to be out of state, on Friday and if Crescent Beach State Park, would grant me permission, I would search on Saturday, when the tide was advantageous. I told her if I could make it Thursday, I would, but it would be tight, with the tide coming in. With the ring, already lost for 5 days, in the water m I really didn’t want to wait until Saturday.
Samantha replied, “Aww ok! No pressure at all! Thank you”!
I knew there was pressure because when something is lost in the water or, the tides and waves could potentially make it lost forever. I had to get there asap.

The next morning, I finished up with my commitment and it was 10:30am. Low tide was at 11:09am. If I left right then and drive the approximate 25 30 minutes, to the State Park, I could get 2-3 hours of searching completed, before the incoming tide would overtake the search area.

I arrived at Crescent Beach State Park and started searching at 11:10am, low tide. The tide was now coming in. I started searching about a 1/3 of the way down, to the water and performed a grid search, horizontally to the beach and the ocean. Back and forth, searching approximately 100 to 125 feet and then turning around heading back to the starting point. I had made 4 such passes, digging the occasional non-ferrous target. At approximately 35 – 40 minutes, into the search, I received a mixed signal, on my VDI screen, that would not repeat. I would sometimes get a ferrous signal and sometimes a nonferrous signal. It could be two different metals, next to each other, throwing the detector off. I had enough of a good nonferrous signal, that I couldn’t, not dig it. The detector was telling me it was 3 inches under the sand and I slid the scoop, into the hard packed sand. Ran my coil, over the pile of sand and the target, was in the pile of sand that I had just dug out of the beach. I pulled my pin pointer out and stuck it in the pile, I had just dug. The pin pointer located the target and as I removed the sand, around the target, I saw the unmistakable color of GOLD. I removed a little more sand and saw the complete ring. I had found the ring.

I then sent a photo of the ring, on my scoops handle, to Samantha and she replied, “OMG, That’s right in the area we were in. You are so amazing. I’m sending the photo, to my Dad, real quick, to confirm. I believe it is”. A couple of minutes later, “Yes it is!!!”

I then told Samantha to give me a call at 1:00pm, when I arrived home, so we could make plans to return the ring.
Samantha the sent another PM, “My son is going to be so happy. He cried and cried and said he would give anything, to have the ring back. You are quite possibly, the best person on earth.” Well, her son will be getting the ring back soon.

When she called, Samantha told me she lived in Gorham, Maine and was getting out of work at 3:30pm. We would meet at the Hannaford Supermarkets, on Rt 1, in Saco Maine, at 4:00pm.

We met at 4:00pm and Samantha brought her son Jacob, with her. It is Jacob’s ring and it fell off, of his finger, in the cold North Atlantic waters, 5 days earlier. Jacob was extremely happy to have his ring back. His ring, is actually his grandfather’s ring, that was gifted to Jacob and his mother told me that Jacob had to tell his grandfather that he had lost the ring, which was very hard for Jacob to do. Now Jacob gets to tell his grandfather, that he now has it back. Jacob also will NEVER EVER wear his ring to the beach again. I just love seeing people happy and smiling, like Jacob is now.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring recovered, Union Lake, Union City Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Zach and Elizabeth had a successful bluegill fishing adventure, until it was time to give the hands a wash in the water. Her wedding ring (set/3-soldered) slipped of as she was rinsing her hand. The murky brown water was about 4.5-5.5ft deep. Most of the shoreline looks similar, but there were bluegill beds and a shiny tea drink-can as landmarks. We worked out the details, now was the time, as I had the day off with no pressing plans. The lake (technically a main local river)is dirty water, murky bottom, with trees, leaves, stumps and branches laying everywhere. Decades of litter, beer cans, pull rings. sinkers, lures, foil, you name it, all laying in the branches and trees. Digging and retrieving targets was difficult. I gridded the spot several times over, making sure they were satisfied I was covering where they desired. After about two hours, it was appearing grim. They did make the most of the time and had caught about 40 nice bluegills. Ha. Knowing that finds often come just beyond where people envision the loss, I suggested allowing me to push beyond the area “one last pass”. A few steps and two targets later, I heard a nice clean tone with a gold range vdi number on the display. The target was suspended in muck pudding, within some tree roots, nearly impossible to scoop out, but by some miracle and lots of patience, the scoop nestled in just right and when I checked the basket I could feel the promising clunk. When the contents got rinsed more, I caught a glimpse of white gold and a ring’s edge!

14K White Gold Ring Lost at Shadow Cliffs…Found in 3 feet of water!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)
Contact:

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

On Memorial Day I received a message from Madison requesting help.  While spending the day with family at Shadow Cliffs, a man-made lake in Pleasanton, CA, he lost his wedding ring in 3 to 4 feet of water.  Shadow Cliffs is part of the East Bay Regional Parks District, and they require a special permit for detecting.  I have always carried this permit, but it comes with some red tape.  Specifically, it does not allow for metal detectors to enter the water.  I informed Madison that I would request special permission from the park manager before we could schedule this search.  The park team was great and very accommodating!

With permission to enter the water and permit in-hand Madison and I met at the lake to perform the search.  It was a beautiful, warm day and we were both excited to get into the water and recover the ring.  He walked us out to chest deep water and stated that he thought that the ring was lost at this spot.  A 15 minute hasty search turned up a few dimes and no rings.  The best news was that there was not a lot of trash to contend with.  A grid was established working parallel to the shore line first in deeper water working towards the shallows.  I informed Madison that I believed that the ring would hit between 12 to 14 on my Equinox 800, but would investigate every signal to “clear it” from the grid.  With each target, I could see the anticipation in Madison, but he was a good sport each time we pulled up what was not his ring.

 

At one point after being in the water an hour or so, we questioned the position of the area and the depth of water.  We moved to more shallow water and it wasn’t to long before…WE MADE THE RECOVERY! It took three attempts to get the 14k white gold band into the scoop but I just knew that the 13-14 signal and perfect tone was our sought after prize.  When I noticed that Madison had not seen me recover the ring I moved closer and asked him to describe the ring again and if it had “looked like this!”  The instantaneous smile appeared that makes performing these recoveries so great and he said he could hug me, to which I leaned in for the embrace!

Once back on the sand beach I took some obligatory photos and we walked down to the lifeguards who had been interested in our activities.  The lifeguards had doubted the success of our venture and were excited for our victory. Then he and I stared out at the water for a bit and talked.  Madison was just the sort of guy I’d like to know.  He was patient, kind, and thoughtful and seemed like a great father.  Thank you Madison for trusting in me to assist you with your ring recovery.  I very much enjoyed your company and conversation while we took this journey!  Best Wishes!

Lost wedding ring found under dock, Cocoa Beach, Florida…and returned to grateful owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Doug and his wife had just returned from a beautiful day out on the water fishing and as they unloaded some personal items onto the dock a very special ring dropped from the small table and bounced and managed to fall directly through one of the cracks and into the water below. This was a super sentimental ring and meant the world to Doug’s dear wife. Doug got right at trying to find someone who could retrieve the ring and looked up “Ring Finder” on his phone. Theringfinders.com service came up and he noticed a number of members of this service were in the area but none of them were equipped to do an underwater search of this kind. Doug eventually found my number and gave me a call.

It was the middle of December and I attempted a recovery dive but the water was just way too cold and we decided to try again later on the following summer. So in May when the weather and water temperatures were much more bearable I showed up to give it another try. The oyster shells were strewn across the bottom and this made digging difficult and the visibility was only a foot or two…until I would start digging and then visibility went to 10 inches. Other members of theringfinders.com have shared a wonderful idea that helps with grid searching in these types of conditions and that is a sinking pvc square that will sit on the bottom which allows me to methodically search an area even though I cannot actually see where I am going or where I have been but by following the grid with one hand and scanning the bottom with my small handheld metal detector with the other hand…I can cover an area very thoroughly and when finished I am able to move the pvc grid to another area and thoroughly search that area as well until I find what I am looking for. (Doug had also informed me that a few years back the dock was completely destroyed in a hurricane…so there was an awful lot of other signals to sift through before God allowed me to find Doug’s wife’s lost ring!)

What an honor it was to help find and return this precious lost ring to its rightful owner!!

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029!
