I got a call from Bella yesterday about the loss of her ring in the sand of the beach. Her mother had given her the ring two years prior, and it had a lot of sentimental value to her. She had put it in her bag, and sometime while removing things from the bag the ring fell out into the thick soft sand, and disappeared. I told her I would be there as soon as possible.

When I got to the beach, I walked out and found Bella and her friend. They showed me where they believed the ring fell out of the bag, and I could see the drag marks in the sand where they had been searching for it. I turned on the detector, and began my search. I found one piece of scrap metal, and then a couple of passes more, got a good clear signal, dug, and in the scoop was Bella’s ring which I immediately held up for her. She came right over very happy, and I dropped the ring in her hand. She seemed very relieved that I was able to find this gift from her mother. A great day!

Keith called me for a search of a church rectory and children’s play yard. The rectory had recent work, and they were worried about nails and other pointy things left over from the construction, and he also wanted me to check the play yard for dangerous items. I let him know this would be possible, and we arranged a time to meet.

When I got to the church, Keith met me, and showed me where to search. I began, and found that there were many deep items, but not much surface items, but I was able to find some around the rectory. After searching the rectory, we went over to the play area, where in the crumbled tire mulch that surrounded the equipment I was able to find many items that could have caused serious injury to the children. After I finished Keith seemed very happy to know that the children would be safer.

Found iPhone and tracked down owner

I was about to leave the beach when I got a loud signal and dug down over 12” in the wet sand when the iPhone appeared. It was wet but in very good condition.

When I got home I cleaned it and dried it in a bag of rice in the sun. Later I plugged it in and it started charging and actually turned on when I pressed the power button.

Since the phone was locked I removed the SIM card and put it in a different iphone and from the settings you can access the phone number to that SIM card.

I called the number and left a message, later that night Oscar called me back and I told him I found an iPhone and he acknowledged it was his and described it to me.

He was very grateful as he had photos and other media that was important to him. He sent me his address and I mailed his iPhone to his house.

 

Lost Gold Ring, Summer Village Of Yellowstone Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

 

I received a call from Darren requesting my service to locate his grandmother’s wedding ring which was handed down to his daughter. Darren’s son and daughter where play fighting in the front yard. His daughter had two rings on her finger and both of them fell off. Luckily they found one ring but Darren and his kids searched the area on their hands and knees for hours with no luck. What made the search more difficult is that the ring is yellow gold and that the grass is still yellow from our long winters. His daughter was devastated that her great grandmother’s ring was missing.

When Darren called I assured him that if the ring was in his yard I would find it. Yellowstone is 45 miles from me so I told Darren I would be in his yard within one hour. Darren showed me the area where one ring was found, and within a half hour I found the ring outside the area where they searched. I called Darren over to show him the spot where the ring was, and how well it blended into the ground. That moment made his day.

Thank you Darren for entrusting me to locate a very sentimental ring of your daughter’s Great Grandmother.

Lost Cell Phone Found After Fire, Fredericksburg, VA

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)

April 20th, 2020. During the Wuhan virus pandemic. John called me to help find his lost phone. A few days prior, there was a fire in the wooded area behind his house.

What the fire looked like.

 

John assumed his phone fell out of his pocket while he was extinguishing the flames. To complicate the search area, the woods are bordered by a lake and the phone could have fallen into the water. The phone is precious to John because it contains many photos and passwords. He and his family searched through the ash for many hours, with no luck.

I packed up all the tools for land and shallow water detecting, and made the hour long drive. When I arrived, I put on my boots and followed John as he showed me the search area. As we were walking through the blackened trees and ash, I saw the phone next to my foot. I picked it up and handed it to John and asked, “Does you phone look like this?”

 

 

 

 

 

As you can imagine, John was in disbelief, and then elated. He couldn’t believe he had just walked past it. We went back up to his house and I could clearly hear his wife scream with delight. Although several people had searched the burnt ground for many hours, nobody else saw the phone. To me, the phone really stood out. I have a strong red/green color blindness. So, I have always seen things differently than most people. That may be why I saw the phone when others did not.

Smile!

Stan the Metal Detector Man ..  Available Now  .. 949-500-2136 .. 

* ** When detecting on the beach it’s always disheartening to find a set of car keys that someone has lost in the sand. It makes me think of how much trouble the person had go through to get home and how expensive it was to replace the keys. I suggest that everyone put contact information on their keys and phones. I always turn keys to the lifeguards. Probably the best chance to get them back to the rightful owner.

I was approached by Norma while detecting at Newport Beach, CA.  She was frustrated because she had to check out if her beachfront rental before noon. (it was 11:45). That morning Norma had gone out for a little meditation session while watching the waves. She believed it was possible the keys we’re lost in that location.

We had one problem, she couldn’t get me on the exact location. I’m used to that situation because many beaches do not have good reference points. All sand looks the same. I like to remind myself,  don’t get excited when someone can’t remember exactly where they were sitting. I picked a location to start the process of elimination. Ten minutes later my metal detector hit a strong signal that turned out to be Nora’s keys. Another happy person that I was able to help because I was in the right place at the right time.

 

I WILL TRY ANYWHERE ”   CALL for information and help. Metal detectors are the perfect tool to finding jewelry and other valued metallic item. It does take a quality detector with an experienced professional conducting the search.

Ring Lost In Bradenton, Recovered By SRARC

Gregg and Heather living in Bradenton, spent the day trimming trees, leveling ground, and setting up an above ground swimming pool in their back yard. As the day came to an end Gregg discovered his treasured ring missing. They searched and searched but with no result. After reluctantly ending their search, Heather did a search for metal detectors on the internet and up popped SRARC Ring Finders. She contacted Joe Szemer and he did a callout. Mike Miller took the call and made arrangements to meet Heather the next day. Heather laid out the area she thought the ring would be in and Mike went to work. About 15 minutes later Mike heard the clear signal and there the ring sat barely visible under a leaf. Mike returned the ring to Heather and she assured him that Gregg would be overjoyed to have it back on is finger. We did not get to see the smile on Gregg’s face, but from past experience we know it will be a big one.

Lost Wedding Ring On The Beach At Pine Knoll Shores Found With Metal Detector, Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

 

On Steven’s birthday (Friday), Steven’s family met up with two other sets of friends to celebrate the fact that all 3 families had children born last year and were planning to make this an annual family vacation.  Pine Knoll Shores, NC’s ocean beach was the site of the first celebration.  Steven did not want to chance losing his ring in the ocean so he placed it in a “secure” bag.  While packing up gear on the beach to head back to his car, he grabbed the ring bag and picked up his 8 month old and proceeded back to the car.  Once he arrived at the walkway over the dunes, he noticed the bag was empty.  Sunday morning, Steven had found TheRingFinders.com and contacted me.  I had the impression that Steven did not have much hope of finding his platinum ring now lost 2 days.  The search area was long and it took about 2 hours before the solid tone on my Minelab CTX-3030 metal detector warned me to stop and investigate.  Steven had just left to get his family something to eat but gladly returned to accept a link to his family!

Paul was doing some yard work in his backyard, pulling up ivy from around a shed and some trees. When he was done, his wedding ring was missing. He emptied the bags of debris he made and searched without finding the ring. His wife suggested to buy a metal detector and search for it. Paul instead searched the internet for a metal detecting guy and found me.

Paul called me today and asked if I could help him find his ring after a brief description of what happened. I told him I would be able to come over after work.

I met Paul, and he showed me the area. There is still a lot of ivy in the yard. He only thinned it out. He told me a little bit about his property. The front part of the house is an old mill built-in 1805. In 1906 they added an addition to the back of the building and converted the mill into a residence.

I started my search and immediately found a can pull-tab. The next signal within a minute was the ring. It was a large white gold ring with a nice design etched into it. Paul couldn’t believe how fast I found it. He spent a long time looking for it. I couldn’t see his smile, because he was wearing a face mask, but I could see his amazement in his eyes.

He told me that I could come back at a later date and search the property for artifacts, BONUS!!!

I love my hobby!!

Ring Lost On South Lido Beach in Sarasota, Recovered By SRARC

Ryan and his friend were having a slow day at work, so they took the afternoon off and went to South Lido Beach in Sarasota. After warming in the sun, they started to play Jai alai in the water. As they tossed the ball back and forth Ryan felt his wedding ring slip off his finger. He stood right where he was and then methodically looked for his ring. After 2 hours he gave up and headed back home. Later that evening his wife found SRARC Ring Finders on the internet and Ryan called Joe Szemer. Joe put out a callout and Mike Miller responded. Arrangements were made to meet the next morning and Mike hunted for four hours with no luck. Mike made arrangements with Mike Schuler and Ed Osmar to meet a couple of days later. They divided the area up into three smaller chunks and went at it again. An hour later Mike Schuler let out a yell and held the ring into the air with triumph. Ryan was not there to join the team to celebrate but when he got the news he was overjoyed. A few days later Ryan returned to town and we were able to give him back this most prized possession.
