I joined up with The Ring Finders to apply my metal detecting experience to help reunite people with their lost, treasured items. What could be better than taking a hobby you love, and using it to help a neighbor?
Call or text me so we can work together to find whatever it is you’re looking for.
Thanks
It was just after noon on a Saturday afternoon when I got a call from Theresa who was sounding a little desperate. Her fiance’s (Glenn) ring had been dropped and lost in the soft sands of a North Shore beach. She had been trying desperately to get in touch with a RingFinder knowing that the longer the ring remains missing the harder it would be to find. I explained that I live on the complete opposite side of the island and it would take at least 90 minutes to drive to the location and wouldn’t she prefer someone closer? After some back and forth about time where to meet it became clear that if I didn’t find that ring today no one was going to help out this lady. So I bit the bullet, so to speak, and headed to the North Shore of Oahu. Almost two hours later do to extreme traffic on the North Shore we met up at the entrance to this secluded beach. Truthfully I would have never known it was there unless Theresa and Glenn showed me where is was. Theresa showed me the areas they had been sitting and I began gridding the area. There was a lot of trash in these sands and it took a while to search the area and dig up all the targets to make sure we’re not missing the grand prize. After about 40 minutes searching a small area with no luck Theresa suggested that I should try the area near the entrance to the beach. Two minutes in a got a strong signal on the Equinox a solid 17, which I usually associate with a bottle cap I dug the target and there bouncing in the scoop was a heavy beautiful Men’s wedding band with a Koa Wood inlay. I don’t think I’ve seen two happier and relived people.
I wish the two of them happyness and prosperity in their upcoming wedding. Aloha
I got a text on mid-day Sunday from a lady named Martha. She explained that on Friday the family was at the beach having a picnic and celebrating her 17 years old daughter’s birthday. The main birthday gift her daughter received was a Hawaiian style gold ring. While playing volleyball the gold ring flew off her finger and landed some where on the beach. They had searched the rest of Friday evening and Saturday as well but came up with nothing. Martha then let me know that she had texted several metal detectorists but had not heard back from any of them. I was the first to respond and I told her I would grab my gear and be at the beach in twenty minutes. It was a beautiful beach day, the sun shining bright and not a cloud in the sky. It was also hot! Africa hot! but that kind of weather on a weekend in Hawaii means the beaches were going to be crowded which can complicate things. Upon arriving the first challenge is finding parking and that took a few minutes and a distant walk to the part of the beach where the ring was lost. They explained where the ring was thought to be lost which delineated an area of 30 yards of beach. OK, I’ve searched bigger so I got to work scanning in a grid pattern from the water line to the back of the beach. About ten minutes in a did get a hit, dug it up, and scored a tiny silver ring. A nice find but not what I was looking for. I continued to scan in that grid pattern and was quickly running out of beach that the family thought was the area that the ring was lost. I got another strong signal but in an area on my detector which suggested was a bottle cap. This is a ring search and on those we dig up everything. One quick scoop and bingo! there bouncing in the scoop was a beautiful Hawaiian style gold ring. Her 17 year-old daughter was all smiled getting her birthday present back on her finger. But the adventure wasn’t over just yet. Two more young ladies who had watched the activities asked if I could find a ring a family member had lost the day before. Same beach but a different area. They would have her come out the next day and show me the area. No good deed….
A couple of days ago I was again metal detecting one of my favorite beaches when a gentleman came up to me and asked “I’ve lost my wedding ring can you help me find it”? He indicated that the ring was in waist deep water and was in a quiet area of the lagoon. I was using one of my old detectors and didn’t want to take a chance on getting it wet. I informed him i could do the shallower area but I also knew the just down the beach was another metal dectorist by the name of Brian. I asked that while I looking for his ring if he could ask Brian to help. Sure enough within a few minutes he was Brian were back and we began to search. Five minutes later Brian called out and he had found the ring! Working together to provide a positive conclusion and a happy customer is the whole point.

*** Rob had been to Victoria Beach which is one of the many small coves of Laguna Beach, CA. He put his gold family crest ring in his beach chair pocket before going into the ocean.
He didn’t realize the ring was missing until the next morning while eating breakfast. He went back to the beach that morning and couldn’t find it in the sand. It could have been anywhere that he had been between the beach and his home where he stored the beach chair.
He called me from the beach just before noon. After hearing a familiar scenario of where he had placed the ring, I was pretty sure we had a chance to find the ring as from past ring searches these rings seem to fall into the sand when the beach chair is first picked up.
Rob was unable to meet me at the location later in the afternoon when the beach goers clear the towel line. It really wasn’t necessary because he had given me very clear directions. I was hoping that I didn’t have to grid search the 75 yards of sand back to the steps leaving the beach.
I arrived about 5:30pm and walked directly to where he described verbally on our phone conversation. A few minutes later, I had his unique gold family crest ring in my scoop. Sent a photo to Rob and he called right away. He told me that all the men in his family have identical rings and he was so relieved that he was not going to be responsible for losing his ring forever. Another great recovery story and a pleasure to meet Rob the next day when he picked up his ring

I was metal detecting at Ocean View Beach while on vacation. I was approached by a couple of local ladies who informed me one of them lost a ring about two weeks ago, I told them I would give it a shot. They said it could be anywhere in this general area, not a small area by any means. After no luck from the dry sand I moved to the water because low tide was going to start coming back up, with a little luck and lots of determination I found it in about 3 feet of water and was able to return it to Brittany.
Lost pendant on 30A: FOUND
Daniel was with his son in chest high water when a wave hit them. His son grabbed his chain and it came off. He was able to grab the chain, but watched as the pendant buries in the sand. I was able to get out there 4 days later and recover it. This thing weighed over 120 grams. Massive and the best recovery to date. Another happy customer.
Hi, my name is Steve Thomas and I have just joined theringfinders.com. I have been metal detecting off and on for over 40 years. I have recently retired from the Myrtle Beach SC area where I have much beach detecting experience. The joy of reuniting people with valuables once thought gone forever is why have I chosen to use my hobby to help others. Please contact me as soon as possible if you need any assistance locating a lost possession.
There was no visibility at all here so I had to dive blind, best way for me is close me eyes. 20 plus min on the bottom of a muck filled lake, 30 pieces of metal that sat 18” deep in (?)
After cleaning what I could got one last faint signal, reaching though 18” of feels kinda like clay, I feel something on my baby finger so I keep pushing to hard pack, oh my I think I got it as I hold it tight in my fist. Cant see so gota go up. Rest of story on 10 News.
Return was done live on our local news
Thanks to Curtis for the call, Stan and Curtis for their help. Its what we do.
Look at that Smile.
Thanks to an anonymous person who contacted a lady on the craigslist in regards to my service, I was able to help her find her lost silver Tiffany necklace that was gifted to her by her mother.
It was a bit of a longshot because the necklace was lost for three days on a very popular beach where everyone metal detects. The other factor was it was lost by a log, and everyone searches the logs. I was a little nervous that someone may have already found the necklace.
We met that evening and I told the young lady the bad news that due to the time that had passed the necklace may have been found already. That being said I was excited to start the search and I was very hopeful that the necklace was still there.
Within 5 minutes at about 4 inches down I received a soft signal and there it was in my scoop! I was as excited as she was to see it…If it’s there I’ll find it.
I love my job! If you lost your ring please contact a member of TheRingFinders.com nearest your location.
