I received a text message from Rachel on Thursday evening (April 7th, 2022) stating that her boyfriend, Tyler, lost his Tungsten Carbide promise ring in February while they were rock crawling on a trail in McMinnville, Tennessee. McMinnville is about a 2-hour drive from me (Huntsville, Alabama). I told Rachel that I would be more than happy to help, but I wouldn’t be able to make it out until Saturday or Sunday when I was off from work. Sunday actually turned out to be a beautiful day, so we scheduled the search for Sunday morning.
I arrived at their home in McMinnville, TN on Sunday morning (April 10th, 2022) around 10am. I transferred my gear over to Rachel’s vehicle. We needed to go through some thick grass and over rocks in order to make it out to the spot that Tyler lost his ring at. We headed out and arrived at the base of the trail about 15 minutes later. We parked at the base, because we didn’t want to drive over the ring. I grabbed my Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector from Rachel’s vehicle and we started making our way up the steep trail. It was about a 10-minute walk up to the spot where Tyler thought he lost his ring. The Tungsten ring was actually thrown during an argument. This happens way more than people think. People have disagreements and sometimes rings go flying. It’s always important that I know exactly what happened in order for a successful ring recovery.
Both Rachel and Tyler said that they heard a ping, so we knew that the ring probably hit a rock. We were just hoping that it didn’t take a weird bounce. The main part of the trail was easy to search. The right side was very steep, so I didn’t think that it bounced up that far. The left side was rocky, and I planned to search that last if I didn’t find the ring in the main trail area. Tyler showed me where he was standing when he threw the ring. He threw it down the trail, so I started at the top section. I marked that spot with a few cones and started my grid search heading down the trail. I covered the trail a good ways down and only found junk metal and some vehicle parts. I felt that I searched that area very well and started searching the left side where all the rocks were at. I eventually made my way up to the top where my cones were, but I didn’t find Tyler’s ring. I decided to head back down and search along the trail again to be sure. I made it back down and confirmed that the ring was not there. I was about 1.5 hours into my search, I told Rachel and Tyler that they may have been further down the trail when the ring was thrown or it just took a crazy bounce. I could tell that their hope was fading, but Rachel said that she thought they were further down the trail when the ring was thrown. That made sense, because different sections of the trail looked very similar.
I began searching that next area where Rachel thought they were. About 30 minutes in, I received a good shallow signal on my Equinox. I moved my coil to the side and saw the shape of a ring just barely covered! I could see the gleam of the sun reflecting off of it. Rachel was looking in my direction, I smiled and pointed down to the ground. She asked, “you found it?” I said “yes!” Both Rachel and Tyler came over, and Tyler picked up the ring. They were so excited! Tyler almost couldn’t believe it, because it wasn’t where he thought it should’ve been. We can only find what’s there to be found and being in the right spot is the only way for that to happen.
We celebrated for a few minutes, took some pictures, and were on our way to their house. I’m so happy that they have their ring back. I pray that this helps strengthen their relationship. Thank you, Lord, for another successful ring recovery! I’m always happy to help, proud to be a member of The Ring Finders, and looking forward to my next adventure…

I got a call from the baseball coach at a local school. He had his wedding ring on when he started practice and it was gone at the end of practice. He explained that he hadn’t been married very long, so he was very anxious to try and find the ring. He had tried to find it on his own with a metal detector, but hadn’t had any luck. As he and his wife both teach at the school, they also asked some students to help look on the field — no luck. We arranged to meet at the field so he could show me where he had been during practice (and where he hadn’t been, so I could rule out some of the field). Unfortunatrly, as the coach, he’d been all over the field. It took about an hour and a half to locate the ring, which was tucked neatly under the grass near the pitcher’s mound. As so many husbands and wives tell me, “it’s not the monetary value of the ring, it’s that it’s THE ring.” Glad to be able to get the husband and THE ring back together. Another Happy Ending!
Mellisa and her husband were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach and while walking their two large dogs the unexpected happened! As they were splashing water on the two dogs in the ankle deep surf, Ian actually felt his ring come off of his finger but he did not have any idea where it landed. All he remembered was how deep the water was and that it happened around 3:30 in the afternoon. Plus they figured they were “in front off” a certain hotel during their play time with their dogs.
When Mellisa called me and asked for my help I knew it was important to get out and search ASAP and since I already had plans for the evening I encouraged her to contact one of the members of theringfinders in the St. Augustine area. And thankfully she was able to talk to Barbara who passed her request on to a friend named Dick who enjoys helping with beach searches. Dick was able to meet Ian and Mellisa and looked for an hour and a half but did not find Ian’s lost wedding ring. The couple had to leave back to Georgia and Dick was planning to come back in a day or two to look again. And it just so happened that I got a call from someone in the Jacksonville area so I decided to stop by the beach and help Barbara and Dick look. When I arrived they were both swinging their metal detectors and had basically covered all the logical areas where Ian said they were while splashing their dogs. He had previously indicated that he was in ankle deep water just after high tide so that would have put them up on the wet sand. We spent another good 90 minutes and Dick thought maybe he would wander down towards the waters edge and detect some and BANG… he got a solid signal and was totally surprised to see a chunky man’s yellow gold ring in his scoop! Could it possibly be Ian’s lost wedding ring?!! He called me over to have a look and I was shocked how far towards the water the ring was. Come to find out the beach had a first sand bar that would have separated two places where Ian could have actually been in ankle deep water during the time he indicated–so I learned something new that day that will help me in future searches!
It was great to meet Barbara from St. Augustine and Dick who loves to metal detect and they both enjoy looking for and returning lost rings to their rightful owners! Two very wonderful people who share the same passion and hobby that I myself do!

*** Celphone with drivers license and credit cards lost in sand at Orange County, CA. beach. Ella called me looking for help to find her friend, Julia’s IPhone. They are vacationing here in SoCal and will be returning to Belview, WA. in a couple days.
Julia was devastated as not only her celphone was missing, she had her credit cards and identification attached to the phone case. I met the two ladies on the beach after the sunset. I have no problem doing night searches.
They had the “Find My Pone App “ on Ella’s phone. It showed the phone still had batteries but we could not hear a alarm sound or see the light on the screen. I had to be under the sand.
The indicator on the tracking was not very accurate and the grid search was going on to almost an hour. The two young ladies were getting cold and starting to believe the metal detector wasn’t going to work. They even asked me to stop. I told them to go back to their apartment and I would continue until I was sure I had covered the area properly.
They left and before they got off the beach, BOOM ! .. I found the phone and it’s contents. Then I quickly made a call to them. They had barely walked off the beach before getting my call. They came back to retrieve the phone with big smiles and saying they had given up hope.
I knew it was there, I just didn’t get my metal detector coil over target.. Knowing my equipment is important. If the item is there I can find it. If it’s not there nobody is going to find it. If you don’t try you will never find it..
If you need help call now, available to take a call 24/7 .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. Stan .. 949-500-2136

Gordon called me and said his fiancé lost her engagement ring while having a bon fire at Huntington Beach. I arrived in about 20 minutes and they had circled a large area where her ring went flying when she was waving her arms.
It took me about 3 passes in the circled area with my detector and I had the ring in my scoop. Everyone was happy and satisfied with this metal detecting service from the ring finders.

** I just got out of the water where I had been practicing dive recovery techniques. When I checked my phone I could see a text asking for help finding a lost ring at Califia State Beach, San Clemente, CA.
I called Caroline right away and they were still at the location. She said her white gold diamond ring was lost in dry sand. I told them I could be there in less than an hour. They said, they could stay to show me the area. It would also be better because the beach was crowded now and many seemed to be leaving.
When I arrived, I scanned the whole area around their pop-up tent with no sign of her most prized engagement ring. We had one more place that i couldn’t get to on the dry sand. Another group of beach goers were still on that spot.
While waiting for the other space to be available to search, I asked Caroline if she went into the ocean. She said only walked into the surf for a few minutes but she was sure the ring wasn’t lost in the water.
I took a few minutes to grid search ankle deep incoming tide. While doing that I checked the tide schedule on my iPhone app. When I tried to put my phone in my pocket I missed the pocket and my phone was lost in the surf.
Frantically scanning the surf for my phone, BOOM! Caroline’s beautiful white gold diamond engagement ring found.. My phone was never recovered, crazy what the ocean can do. The flat phone must have just got pulled way down into the deep water.
Caroline and Bob were very grateful and couldn’t believe how her ring was lost in the area she had only visited for 5 minutes. I was happy for them and I immediately left to get a replacement for my phone as was Sunday and the phone company closes early. I need a phone to be available for the next recovery call.

A Midnite Rendezvous……
……..of a different nature is what Dwann experienced last night. Just before sunset yesterday as his wife and family were getting ready to visit family out of town, she took the dog for a quick walk at a nearby park and somehow her rings came off. Completely freaking out it was now dark and rainy. During the ride to the airport, I got a call explaining what happened. I agreed to meet Dwann when he returned from dropping them off. A quick turn on and go with my MXT metal detector had me grid searching quickly as the rain came down. Picking up a few junk signals I kept up the grid search and close to a small tree I got a solid signal. Using my smaller pin-pointer metal detector Dwann pointed the flashlight beam at the suspected area. As the smaller detector buzzed, I reached down into the grass and suddenly I saw one of the rings shimmering in the glow of the flashlight. Searching in a zig-zag type pattern another good signal came thru just a few feet away. Illuminating the spot I saw the 2nd ring sparkling back at us! Totally elated, Dwann sent a picture to her titled midnite rendezvous and assured me that this is a rendezvous she will be quite happy with.

*** Odili called me at 9:30pm .. He had lost his gold ring at the beach in the dry sand. Back at his hotel room he went online trying to find a place to by a metal detector when he found my contact information on TheRingFinders website.
He believed he could find the ring himself the next morning. I asked him if he had any experience using a metal detector, he answered, no. Many rental detectors are entry level cheap machines and most don’t work well in sandy mineralized beaches.
I told him I could meet him at the Montage Resort Beach before 10:15pm and we should be able to locate the ring in a short amount of time. He agreed to met me at his hotel parking lot. We walked about 5 or 6 blocks to the small cove where he and his lady had been sitting. I found the ring after just a few swings of my detector coil.
Odili and his lady friend were very happy to have the ring back. They can enjoy the remaining days of their vacation. Also they would sleep well and not have to bother the next day trying to find a metal detector and learn how much they don’t know about using a metal detector on the beach. Even these easy searches can be rewarding because it’s about many other things including finding the ring.

Stephanie was out with her two small children and while watching them play she was unaware that one of. her earbuds fell out of her ear. After getting the children back into the house she felt her ear and realized the one was missing. Thinking it must have popped out while picking up her young son she began retracing her steps and thought surely she would find it as it was black and would show up rather easily on the sidewalk or even in the grass.
Two days passed and her husband remembered that I help people find their lost items using a metal detector so he sent me a message asking if I could help them. I showed up 15 minutes later and asked for Stephanie’s other earbud to see if I could get a reading and sure enough it gave a faint signal in the “All Metal Mode”. After searching for 20 minutes I got a quiet signal and there, down in the grass, was Stephanie’s lost earbud…barely visible! Stephanie was so happy to have it back and the big smile tells it all!
