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

I have fallen victim to misplacing my car keys just at my home, panic set’s in quickly once you realize…. I can’t imagine how hopeless it would feel to loose them out in nature while on a hike.

Meet Cody, a botanist who spends a lot of time working outdoors. Recently, while working at one of our local regional parks, she did just that.  Her vehicle parked merely feet away from her task, locked out from access and unable to move off of the trail.  Her work had her bushwhacking amongst the park flora investigating if rare species existed around a 100′ circumference of a work point.  Think tall grass, twisting berry vines and poison oak, thick brush and tree’s.  To make matters worse thick duff and leaves and remnants of old building materials litter the ground.  At some point her keys slipped from her possession lost to the wild.

Lucky for Cody, a spare set of keys could be driven from her home not to far from the site and she would not be forced to abandon her vehicle at the location.  She spent a healthy amount of time searching the area before deciding she might need additional help in order to recover the lost keys.

I was away on a camping trip with the local cub scout pack when I received her request for help, but she graciously waited a full week for our schedule to align.  We met early the following Saturday and headed out on the trail to the location.  I might have been a little overwhelmed when I saw the search zone, but we quickly got to work bushwhacking our way through the overgrowth.  We did find some oddities along the way and trash definitely made the metal detector chatty.  I found a neatly made bird nest nestled on the ground with four little eggs.  It was not the item we were looking for, but it was a treasure non-the-less.

We were under a grove of tree’s searching and as we moved off, there on the ground were the keys we were looking for…We made the recovery!

Cody and I celebrated that we had located them and that we would not be trudging along the overgrown hillside any longer.  All that remained were a few quick photos and a short walk back to the trailhead.

Thank you Cody for taking me on an early morning adventure in the hills.  I won’t soon forget our time on that search.

Hearing Aid Found!

  • from Saint Joseph (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Mark saying that his 90yo dad, Frank, had lost his hearing aid in his back yard while weed eating. He had searched for hours trying to find it on his own.
I knew that it would be pretty small and probably a little tough to find. He had 2 of them so I scanned the one he still had to get a reference signal. It didn’t take me very long to find it with my Minelab Manticore after that.
He was overjoyed that I was able to locate it, and I am always very happy when I have a successful outcome to my mission.

Quick Metal Detecting Recovery on the Beach

Sea Isle City, NJ is a wonderful place to relax with family and friends. Unfortunately, beach days can sometimes lead to lost jewelry.

I recently received a call from a visitor who had lost a wedding band while sitting on the beach in Sea Isle City. The ring had slipped out of a cup holder attached to a beach chair and disappeared into the sand.

The owner knew the general location where the ring had been lost. That information made all the difference.

Fast Response to a Lost Ring Call

As a member of The Ring Finders, I specialize in locating lost rings and jewelry using professional metal detecting equipment. When I arrived at the beach, I listened carefully to the details of the loss.

The ring owner explained exactly where the chair had been positioned. They also described when they noticed the wedding band was missing.

Those details helped narrow the search area significantly.

A Few Sweeps and Success

After setting up my detector, I began making careful sweeps around the chair location. The search area was relatively small because the owner provided excellent information.

Within just a few minutes, I received a strong signal.

I placed my scoop into the sand and lifted it carefully. As the sand drained away, a beautiful wedding band appeared inside the scoop.

The relief on the owner’s face was immediate.

Sea Isle City Ring Recovery Service

Losing a wedding ring can be stressful, especially during a beach vacation. Sand can hide jewelry quickly, and shifting beach conditions can make recovery difficult without the proper equipment.

Fortunately, this recovery ended with a happy reunion.

If you lose a ring, necklace, bracelet, watch, or other valuable jewelry in Sea Isle City, NJ, don’t wait. Mark the area if possible and contact a professional metal detectorist right away.

Fast action often increases the chances of a successful recovery.

Every recovered ring has a story, and this Sea Isle City wedding band recovery is another reminder that lost doesn’t always mean gone forever.

I received a call from Jeff. Jeff explained that he and his family had just arrived at the beach and his wife was tending to their children when his  wife’s diamond rings “flung off” her fingers and disappeared into the sand! Jeff and his wife began searching frantically with no luck. Their activity drew attention from from some other families on the beach whom also joined in on the search. After several hours of searching with no luck, Jeff began searching the internet at the recommendation of a relative for assistance. After a brief google search, Jeff landed on Ring Finders Cape May.com  I was preparing dinner at home when Jeff called, but I decided to take the 15 minute ride over to help him immediately as the radar was showing inbound storms that “may” impact our area and didn’t want to wait. Shortly after arriving, I met up with Jeff and recovered his wife’s rings in about two minutes! Another successful recovery, another happy couple!

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Paradise Cove Beach Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began last night when I got a call from Ethan who was visiting from Texas and enjoying the waters of Paradise Cove Beach with his wife Laule’a.  Ethan said while his wife was splashing water on him in shallow knee deep water her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement ring flew off and disappeared in the soft sand.  The call came in around 8PM and it was already getting dark.  Ethan and I did a FaceTime so he could show me where they were on the beach.  I asked him to draw a line from where they were seated down to the water where the ring came off.  That way when I arrived at first light I would be able to start hunting.  When I arrived it was a very low tide so the ring would be even shallower.  After about 15 minutes the Manticore got a great tone and in one scoop there was Laule’a’s stunning ring in the scoop.  I texted a picture to Ethan but got no response.  I found out later they were exhausted and had slept in.  I knew Ethan was up when I saw, “WOAH” come over my phone.  Ethan called and we agreed to meet at 7-11 nearby Pearl Harbor for the return.  I hope to get a smiling pic from Laule’a soon.  Aloha to Ethan & Laule’a!

Lost Engagement Ring Found on Wildwood Crest Beach in New Jersey!

A family beach day in Wildwood Crest, NJ nearly turned into a heartbreaking memory.

Elizabeth and her family were enjoying a relaxing day along the beautiful beaches of Wildwood Crest. Like many beachgoers, she removed her jewelry before applying sunscreen to her children.

To keep her rings safe, Elizabeth placed her engagement ring and wedding band on a beach towel.

After helping her children, she forgot the rings were resting on the towel. When she picked up the towel, both rings flew into the sand.

Within seconds, the jewelry disappeared.

Elizabeth and her family immediately began searching the area. They carefully checked the sand and retraced their steps. After a determined search, they located the wedding band.

Unfortunately, the engagement ring remained missing.

Cedar Lake Cellars Wright City, Missouri

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was attending the Night Lights Lantern Festival at Cedar Lake Cellars in Wright City, Missouri in October 2025. There were about 1000 people there and we were in a very large grassy field. Because the weather was a little colder, the ring had slipped off my finger somewhere near where we were sitting that evening. Luckily, I took a few photos and was able to determine the exact GPS coordinates from apples map function from the photo. I was able to get permission from the winery personnel to search the property and sure enough you found the ring within 10 feet of where the GPS coordinates from the photo indicated. I was shocked and very very excited. that ring had been there all winter and spring and now it’s back in my possession. The ring was very special to me and still is and now it has more of a story. I can’t begin to thank you enough.
