Cost For My Service

I work on a ''Reward Basis'' you pay what it's worth to you and what you can afford for me to come out and find your lost item.

You must have a general idea of location lost and location must be somewhat searchable. (not in a house or scrapyard! (LOL))

Search Types

Just about anywhere including shallow water.

Search Locations

50 mile radius from Va Beach, VA

Steven Andrews's Bio

I have been metal detecting since my retirement in 2011 and find the most joy in recovering lost sentimental items including rings! You must agree that the recovery may be videotaped and used on my youtube channel.

    Steve was super helpful, so thankful we called him and were able to find this ring that means so much to me and my wife. It was amazing that he was able to find it! He searched for several hours and had a great attitude the whole time. So grateful!

  • You are truly not only an expert at what you do, but also a genuinely kind and honest person... (2026)

    Item

    I’d like to personally say thank you for taking the time to find my wedding band! We truly never thought we’d see it again. We had already had a really rough day, and losing my ring just made it that much worse. Finding it again really helped lift a lot of the stress and disappointment we experienced during our vacation.

    You are truly not only an expert at what you do, but also a genuinely kind and honest person. In a time when it can be hard to know who to trust, your integrity and willingness to return something so meaningful speaks volumes about your character. I can’t thank you enough for the time, effort, and dedication you put into finding something I had accepted was gone forever.

    Thank you again for giving me back something I never thought I’d see again. I’ll never forget your kindness and generosity.

  • He did not give up, I’m incredibly thankful for his skills and perseverance.. (2026)

    Item

    After losing my rings in the water, I thought there was no chance of it being recovered. We got back to our hotel room hours later and on a whim, did some research online and found Steve. I thought it was a least worth a try and after reaching out, he responded immediately and was in front of our hotel within the hour. My sons and I watched from the hotel balcony, he was persistent in the water. In less than an hour, we got the call to come back down and see if there was a chance, the search perimeter could be expanded… he is a total trickster, haha! He had the rings while we were still thinking it was lost forever. He pulled them out, I was in absolutely shock. I never thought they would be found, Steve is the real deal. He did not give up, I’m incredibly thankful for his skills and perseverance. If ever in the area and you find yourself missing a valuable, check him out, he is personable, affordable and it was a genuine pleasure to work with him. Thank you, Steve!

  • Steve is a literal angel on earth... (2023)

    Item

    Steve is a literal angel on earth.

    This is Ali, Mark’s wife, and Steve isn’t kidding when he says we were grateful for his help (really, that’s a wild understatement!). I found the Ring Finder site on a whim after running some google searches for what to do if you lost a ring. Steve works in the Virginia Beach area so I texted him having zero expectations (and mild skepticism over this process!). Steve texted me back right away and we had a call to talk through what happened, and he came up first thing the next morning to help. Meeting Steve you can see that he’s genuine and truly there to help (seriously), which put us right at ease. Steve was out in the ocean for over two hours with us, never giving up (even when we were losing hope!). We were in shock when he actually found it! The ring is so important to us; it felt like a miracle.

    Steve is kind, hard working, and gifted with the detector. We truly couldn’t be more grateful to him. If you’ve lost something metal in the ocean in Virginia Beach area (and it’s reasonably close to shore), don’t hesitate to contact Steve. He’s a hero.

  • My family will forever be grateful (2019)

    Item

    "For years, I had heard various stories from different members of my family regarding rings that had been lost on my grandparents’ property. One story mentioned my grandfather’s lost wedding, another was about a missing class ring belonging to one of my uncles, and a further one revolved around my father’s also absent class ring. At one point in my youth, my parents purchased me my own metal detector after I decided I wanted to see if any of these stories were true. Alas, my childhood inability to focus on one thing for more than a short period of time got the better of me and I gave up on the search.

    Now over a decade later, my grandparents’ home of almost 60 years is being sold and my ninety-two year old grandmother is moving in with my parents. While packing up their house, I suddenly remembered some of those old stories and talked to my grandmother about them. With the sale of the house pressing down on us, I felt a sudden compulsion to try and determine if any of those lost rings were actually out there once and for all. I pulled out the old metal detector, did a little searching, but alas it was to no avail. Not willing to give up just yet, I did a little googling and happened to come across Ringer Finders.

    I found a few local nearby guys through the site’s directory and sent them both messages. I got a response from Steve Andrews within hours of messaging him and he agreed to come out the following day. Unexpectedly, the next morning Tom Clyde messaged me as well to tell me he was already on his way. I was worried about both men showing up at the same time when they were expecting to be detecting alone. Fortunately, I was happily surprised to find out that both men knew each other and were willing to search together. With low expectations in place given the information we were going off of, I was shocked when after only forty minutes Steve pulled my uncle’s class ring from the ground. Both men were extremely professional, easy to talk to and communicate with, and were more than reasonable in their pricing. If anyone in the Hampton Roads area needs a ring or anything else of its kind found then they should not hesitate to reach out to either Steve or Tom. I am firmly of the belief that if either of these two men can’t find what you’re missing than no one can. These guys know what they are doing with their years of experience and various successful hunts serving as evidence for their skills. My family will forever be grateful for their work especially my grandmother who was profoundly happy to have a piece of one her late children back again."
