Crystal Cove State Beach, Gold Wedding Band recovered
Dear Stan,
Dear Stan,
I was just walking off the beach after a few hours of detecting at Mission Beach. A lifeguard drove up to me asking if I could help this lady find her wedding ring. She totally doubted that it could be found, but my detector loves gold and it was only a few minutes and She had it back on her finger where it belongs.
Hi, My name is Stan Ross.
I am a member of The Ring Finders. I have been metal detecting sense 1970 and have found many nice pieces of jewelry that I wish I could have returned to the person who had lost it. Being a member of The Ring Finders has given me the opportunity to help people find valuables that they believed were lost forever. This is my hobby, it is not a business for me. I can search So. Calif. from LA. county to San Diego Co. I will travel anywhere with prior arrangements. I hope I have the pleasure to help you find your valuable that you think has been lost forever..
I received a call from a guy on New Years Day about a lost White Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring. The ring was lost in the snow during the night before. I showed up a couple of hours later to search for the missing engagement ring. After asking more questions, I found out that the ring was thrown. I searched in the freezing temperatures in 3 inches of snow for a hour and a half with no luck.
A week later he wanted me to come back out and try again. Since the snow was mostly gone and more grass was visible. About a hour later of searching there was the ring laying on the grass beside the melting snow. I am very happy that the ring was found. He recently bought the ring for her and I wish them a happy engagement.

I was contacted by a homeowner from the City of West University (Houston) regarding a lost men’s Platinum Wedding Ring. The homeowner indicated the ring was possibly lost in one of two locations, one a little league baseball field, and the other the hedges in their front yard.
Several days ago, I conducted a search of the baseball field with unsuccessful results. A follow-up search today at the homeowner’s residence was successful.
The homeowner will be extremely happy to learn his Platinum Wedding Ring was recovered.
The homeowners in the case wishes to remain anonymous.

We received an email from a very nice lady stating that her husband’s small pocket knife was lost in their yard. We thought it was a little unusual to get a call on a knife but we are always excited to help people . As we talked further we found out that the family had gone out and cut down 2 Christmas Trees this year and had strapped them to the top of the family SUV. Upon arriving at home the father had pulled out his very special 3″ knife that his wife had given to him as a gift on their wedding day. He used it to cut the rope holding the Christmas Trees to the SUV and then gave it to his oldest 10yr old daughter Ally to cut the other side. She cut the rope and put the knife in her top pocket of her jacket and helped her dad and sisters drag the 2 trees into the house. After getting the trees inside, she realize the knife was no longer in her pocket. After 3 days of searching the 3″ thick grass cover in large leaves they had nearly given up. 10yr old Ally was heart broken at losing her daddy’s special knife.
Ally’s mom got on the internet and found our “The Ring Finders” website . She called and my wife and I set a time come by. Upon arriving at their home we had a roughly 80ft by 40ft area of thick grass and leaves. We got out our equipment and I began the search. My wife’s ACE250 was acting funny and she decided to just let me hunt. She had her pinpointer with her while talking to the customer. As you can imagine at every beep our detectors or pinpointers made the 3 daughters were right their with us looking for the knife. Finally I suggested to the mom that they go check the SUV one more time while we continued the search of the yard. My wife just sat down in the beautiful yard and kinda of just moved her pinpointer around and it went off. She said “Don, go get the girls, I GOT IT”. Ally the daughter who lost the knife came running out and grabbed the knife out of the yard and held it to her chest, she was almost in tears.
Ally and her family thanked us and thank us and then even took pick pictures with us and our equipment so they could so their dad. Just another happy customer for “The Ring Finders”.
This hobby is so much fun!

I was recently contacted by Ms. Walker from College Station, Texas regarding a lost 2011 Texas A&M class ring. Ms. Walker was not exactly sure of where she lost her ring, but knew it was missing after an exhaustive search of her home and car.
Ms. Walker felt there could be a slight possibility that it may have fallen of her hand somewhere in her front yard, but was clearly unsure.
I was able to assist Ms. Walker in contacting a fellow Detectorist Bill Sloan in College Station. Mr. Sloan was able to assist Ms. Walker in a metal detection search of both her front and back yards.
The ring remains unrecovered at this time and has been reported to the College Station Police Department.
The ring is described as a ladies 10K Texas A&M class ring with inscription Kelly E.B. Walker. If this ring should cross your path it’s looking to go home.
The following is an e-mail sent by Ms. Walker
Thank you Mr. Volek,
I really appreciate all your help and your connecting me to Mr. Sloan. He was incredibly kind and patient with me throughout our dealings.
He wouldnt even let me pay him for gas. I know he was from the area but I still found it surprising. He made clear that he was simply doing it to help, as you did.
You’ve both made a painful process much easier and I really appreciate it.
My next step is to have a friend of mine take apart the dash on my car. I heard a metal object sliding around when I made a particularly sharp turn yesterday and my heart stopped. I have no idea if it’s my ring or not, but a girl can hope.
Take care, Mr. Volek. I’ll keep you updated if I find it.
Thanks and Gig ’em,
Kelly Walker
Ellen & I got a call from our “The Ring Finders” website. It as about 8pm on Sunday evening. Shannon said that she and her husband had been at the local recreation center playground. Her husband took off his wedding ring and put it in his pocket so he would not scratch it while working out using the playground equipment as a gym.
Upon returning home he realized his ring was gone. He and Shannon searched for 6 days looking for the ring. She found us on the web and called. I told her I would come on on Monday morning after 9am, but after hearing her voice and talking to my wife. My wife convinced me to go do our 1st night search. We had our headlamps and our flashlight and the playground was in a nice area of town, so we decided to give it a try.
After 20 minutes of searching in the dark I hit something strong and thought to myself, I got it… but no it was a child’s charm bracelet. I stood up and got another hit just 2 feet from the bracelet. I bent down using my pinpointer and light and there was the ring. I had to use the flashlight to be sure I had Shannon’s husband’s ring. It was.
I called Shannon at 9:30pm and she seemed concerned when she realized it was me, I said hello and ask her if she would like to come up to the park playground and pick up her husband’s ring. She was estastic. She said she would be right down. She arrived in 15 minutes and was extremely grateful. This is my favorite part of this hobby, seeing the smiles, seeing the relief, it is a win, win moment for everyone.
Now I thought this adventure was over, but on Monday I received a very special text message from Shannon. I have pasted the text in below…
“” Thank you again sooo much, Don!! I surprised Aaron with his ring when he got home from work last night…. I sat him down and proposed to him :). Luckily he said yes 🙂 We are both so happy to have his ring back. You and your wife are so wonderful! It was an honor meeting you two! “”
Another successful NIGHT find for The Ring Finders”
