Memorial pendant found at a beach in Michigan.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I was out detecting a beach in Michigan when I found this Memorial pendant. It had a thumb print and a name with dates on the back. I put it on the local facebook page and was able to find the owner. It turns out that it belonged to a young man whose grandfather died. I mailed it out to him and his mother recorded a message from him thanking me. This is the most rewarding hobby to have. You can watch the full video of the find on YouTube at the ringmeister. The message from Hunter is one of the shorts.

Struck Out…….

  • from Bristol (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

Well, I wanted to share that after just 6 hours of going live I received my first call to help locate a lost Brooch. The lady informed me that it could be in her house, car, or local supermarket, but she was also in her yard working and was praying it wasn’t at the supermarket. She lived a half hour away and was a very stormy afternoon. I told her that after checking the radar to see if the storms had passed that I was enroute to her. It wasn’t a large area to cover and in less than an hour I had covered the area completely with no luck of it being there. I was hoping for a slam dunk but only had about a 25% chance it being in the grass. I’m hoping to hear that she finds it in her car or house.

t Ring Recovered on Cape May Beach, NJ by Ring Finders South Jersey

A relaxing day at the beach in Cape May, New Jersey, almost turned into a heartbreaking memory when Michael realized he had lost his wedding ring earlier in the day. After spending time searching the sand without success, he turned to Google for help and found RingFindersSouthJersey.com.

 

Michael immediately called me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey, and explained the situation. During our conversation, I gathered important details about where he believed the ring had been lost, the activities he was doing at the time, and how long ago the loss occurred. This information is critical to maximizing the chances of a successful recovery.

 

Within 20 minutes of receiving Michael’s call, I was on the beach in Cape May with my professional metal detecting equipment and ready to begin the search. Time is often a key factor in beach recoveries, especially during the busy summer season when foot traffic, beach grooming, and changing sand conditions can make a lost ring even harder to locate.

 

Using the information Michael provided, I established a search grid and began a systematic sweep of the area. After only a short time, my metal detector produced a strong signal. A few scoops later, Michael’s ring appeared in the sand.

 

The relief and excitement on Michael’s face said it all. What started as a stressful day quickly turned into a successful recovery and a happy ending on the beaches of Cape May, NJ.

Mom’s Gold Ring Found in Garner!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from Asia about her lost ring. She’d been at an outdoor event with friends the day before and had lost a ring that her late mother had given her. We made arrangements to get together that afternoon to search. We met at the apartment complex (where the get-together had been) and she showed me where she had been. They had played kickball, had a cookout, and even had a water balloon fight, so the possibilities were large. Also, the open area where she had been was accessible to anyone, so there was a possibility that the ring had been picked up by someone. Lastly, she explained that she had taken off all of her rings and put them on a chain around her neck, but the design of this particular ring had an open spot that was probably how it fell off the chain. I searched for about an hour the first day and came back the next day to cover the area again. After about 45 min of searching, I was able to locate the ring and get it back to her. Because of the connection to her mom, she was ecstatic to get it back. Another happy ending!

Lost Rings in Perdido – Found them all!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I’m so glad Kristin called me. She was visiting Perdido with her family and had taken her rings off to put sunscreen on her son. A while later, as they were relaxing in their chairs, her son walked up and said, “Look at the ring I found, Mommy!”

Kristin’s heart dropped when she realized he was holding one of her rings.

They quickly marked off the area and gave me a call. I won’t dramatize this one too much—the walk from the parking lot took longer than it did to find the remaining rings. Even so, they were amazed, especially since they had already spent at least an hour searching on their own.

It pays to have a good starting point, a good machine, and a whole lot of experience.

Thanks for trusting me, Kristin! I hope this experience kindles your son’s treasure-hunting spirit even more. 😃

Gold Ring Recovered from Geneva Lake in Fontana, WI

Wedding Ring Recovered from Geneva Lake in Fontana, WI

Raul and his family were enjoying a day at the beach in Fontana, WI when his 14K gold wedding band was lost.  His family spent time in the grass, on the sand, and in the water.  Fontana beach is quite large, so narrowing down the search area was key.

On my way out I texted two fellow detectorists who may have been detecting this beach letting them know I was on a search and “Did they find any gold rings at Fontana’s beach in the last two days?”  “No,” was the reply.  When I arrived, another detectorist was in the water.  I waded out to Tony and asked the same question.  “No, only a quarter so far.”

       Raul patiently answered all of my questions as we worked to pinpoint the most likely spot he would have lost it.  I marked off the edges of my search area in the sand and waded into the shallow water to make my first pass.  Dragging my search coil slowly over the sand, overlapping, so as not to miss anything, I had a strong repeating signal around the third or fourth pass.  I knelt down in the water and waved away the topmost layer of sand in the spot where my detector indicated a target.  Half of the ring appeared like a golden smile.  I picked it up and held it up to Raul who was standing on the shoreline.  

It was the first and only target I dug that morning.  Raul carefully thought through all of my questions and that led to our success in finding the ring.

After a few photos, it was back on his hand and his smile said it all.

        Later, Raul made a kind post on the Lake Geneva Lake Life Facebook group.  He writes: “A huge thank you to Seth for helping recover something that means so much to me and my family.  We are incredibly grateful!”

Engagement Found in Lake Geneva Home: No Metal Detector Needed

Engagement Ring Found: No Metal Detector Needed 

Wednesday, 3:45 pm: Drew’s voicemail asks for help finding a lost engagement ring in his basement.  It’s been missing for a month.  Could I come and bring my equipment?

To my knowledge, there is no detector on the market that can only sense gold while avoiding all other metals, so metal detecting inside a house is almost a lost cause.  Copper wiring and pipes, nails galore, and household appliances have enough metal to immediately overload a metal detector.  I was planning on politely explaining this to Drew, and heading home after work.

Thursday, 4:00 pm: But when I called him and realized he was only eight minutes away, I thought, “Why not have a look?”  

Thursday, 4:10 pm: I arrived about 10 minutes later and started talking with him in the basement.  I began ask

ing him questions about why his wife took off her ring, where she put them, etc., I said, “I should really be asking her these questions.  Drew replied, “We can try to Facetime her?”  

Moments later, I was asking her any questions that would help me to see what she was doing in her basement a month ago when she lost her ring.

“Actually it was probably two months ago,” she added.  The more I heard, the less confident I felt about finding her ring.  Drew was attending to his 1 year old upstairs.

I continued to ask questions, and I was able to reconstruct what happened that night.

  1. She was doing schoolwork at a small round wooden table in the basement.
  2. She took off her rings (engagement and wedding band) as she was pregnant and they were getting tight.
  3. Both were set on the table.
  4. At the end of the work session, she could only find her wedding band… no engagement ring.
  5. She looked under the table, all around, nothing.

I asked one more question.  “Did you have a laptop bag or anything that it could have fallen into?”

Her reply was what I might have expected.  She had checked the bag she had with her at the time, but she could look again.

Before I could think of another series of questions to ask, she interjected, “I found it!”

I must have heard her wrong.  “You found it?” I replied.

Drew heard my question from upstairs, and came pounding down the stairs, asking me the same question, “You found it?”

Not me!  I said, and handed him his phone with his wife’s smiling face, a diamond ring in the corner of the screen.

Thursday 4:20 pm: I glanced at my watch.  It was about 4:20 pm.  “That’s the fastest recovery I’ve ever made!” I said.

Sometimes the difference between a lost item and a found item hinges on the questions asked rather than the equipment.  I own thousands of dollars of metal detecting equipment, have hundreds of hours of experience on land, in water, and underwater, but the right question can often yield the greatest results.
