Big Diamond Engagement Ring Lost in Waist Deep Surf .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found 5 days later

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Katlyn’s husband, Jeff called The Metal Detector Man for help to find an expensive 3.2ct. diamond ring lost in the surf. If you need help call or text Stan 949-500-2136.


***Katlyn was with her daughter in waist deep water at Newport Beach when she lost her diamond engagement ring. She was devastated as she had forgotten to leave her ring at home as she normally does before going to the beach.

Her husband, Jeff called me at 8am the next morning. He told me it was a 3.2 ct. diamond ring and wasn’t insured. When I talked to him he told me the loss happened the day before at high tide. I checked the present high tide and it was a perfect low tide for a search. I was able to leave right away for the beach 15 minutes drive from my place.

When I arrived I saw two other metal detector guys searching the same location. After talking with one of the detectorists, he told me that the word was out that an expensive diamond ring was lost in the area yesterday.  The lifeguard and a resident of one the beachfront homes had told them about the loss. They did not have any contact information for the person that lost the ring. I made sure they could contact the person that lost the ring.

I did not find the ring that day and wasn’t sure that one of the other guys found the ring. I always advise people that call me to be careful who they tell about losing a valuable item. If they don’t find the ring right away they will need to get the word out with contact information ..Many people will return items if they know how to contact the owner.

Well, four days after the initial loss,I was on another search on the same beach. I dug a great sounding signal and it was Katlyn’s 3.2ct. diamond ring. It was maybe a half a block from where Jeff had told me Katlyn had realized her ring was missing. All is well, I found the ring. I had the contact information and was able to return this awesome ring to a happy grateful couple..

If you’ve lost a valuable item call an experienced metal detector expert. Timing and persistence is important. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE” .. A phone call anytime 24/7 will give us  the best chance to recover your sentimental keepsake .. Stan .. 949-500-2136
