*** We found it! I say that because, Cheyenne and the internet were responsible for the successful recovery of her gold class ring. She had been at Newport Beach late that afternoon  staying long enough to watch the sunset. Her ring slipped off her finger into the dry soft sand. She only spent a few minutes trying to find it before realizing she needed help.

She did an internet search for ideas to get help. After finding my contact information, she called me. I was able to make the short drive that evening, meeting her at the location. Another thing that helped find her ring in a timely  manner was, she was able to stay at the location. Many people leave the location of the loss making it difficult to get back to the general area.

Minutes after meeting Cheyenne a quick grid search with my high end metal detector, I was able to find her very sentimental class ring. Unlike others that spend hours and sometimes days searching for their lost item in the sand without help, Cheyenne did the right thing, find a experienced metal detector expert. The right tool for the job with a person experienced with search techniques to find small metallic keepsakes.

 

Call now don’t waste your time and don’t worry about possibly losing your cherished sentimental keepsake forever.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. Searching for a lost item is a process of elimination.. We can do it!!!   Stan ..949-500-2236

Class ring missing 50 years returned Wauconda, IL

  • from Trevor (Wisconsin, United States)

A few months ago, I got a call about looking for a ring in the water of Bangs Lake in Wauconda, IL.  The catch was that the ring has been lost since the 1970’s.  Long story short on that ring but I still have not found it yet.  What I did find was a class ring from the class of 1967 and luckily the ring had initials on the inside and all the details of the school were visible.  The school was contacted and the yearbook was found and the alumni program had contact info for the owner of the ring.

The story of the ring in a nutshell.  Guy gives ring to girlfriend in 1968 as a promise of a life together before he got drafted into the army where he served until his discharge in 1970.  Girl goes to beach for the day and loses ring in the water in 1968 and spent several hours trying to look through sand and mud in the water but was unable to locate it and had to give up.  Guy gets back from service, gets a stable job, they get married and are still married to this day.  I was able to meet up with them and get the ring back that they never thought they would see again after 55 years.

… Robert had been at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Orange County, California. He was brushing sand off his shoulder when his gold pinky ring slipped off his finger disappearing in the dry sand. He and four of his friends searched for the ring with no success.

One of his friends found my information online. Robert called me explaining what happened. I agreed to meet him as soon as possible, assuring him I could find the ring if he could stay in the location of the loss. 

There was a little bit of traffic and it seemed like I hit every traffic signal with a red light. Robert was there on the beach when I arrived. Fifteen minutes later his gold ring was in my sand scoop. We took a couple photos to celebrate the recovery of his ring then we were all off to return home.

Lost Ring, Found in Back Yard and Returned – Rochester, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

October 20, 2023: While I was out doing yard work Leighton called with information on a ring search he was not able to help with. My wife was on her way to a luncheon, but took time to stop bye and tell me of the call. I finished up what I was doing, went home, and called Leighton. Information in hand I returned Mary’s call to get the specific information on the ring’s loss. It was the previous day that Reed’s wedding band was lost while playing football with his sons. I took down the pertinent information and I was on my way.

Reed had purchased a detector to search for the ring. His son had set up a well laid out grid over the possible area the ring had been lost in. But they were unsuccessful in locating the ring because of lack of familiarity with the detector and amount of non-precious metal in the yard. I was impressed when I saw what they had done, very professional. A point of last known and first realizing the loss were marked. Making my task of keeping a well defined grid search very easy.

Within several minutes I had verified several target signals as invalid. I made a few adjustments to my detector’s setting and bingo…a perfect signal. It was hard to see the ring as it had been stepped upon which embedded it into the soft soil. All that could be seen was one side of the ring.

I gave the ring to Mary and I listened to the problems encountered with the new metal detector while hunting for the ring. Well, I gave a few minutes of instructions on the detector’s use and I am sure there is a new young detectorist in the family. I could not have wished for a better hobby to pursue. I have met so many wonderful people and been there when they have needed a bit of help.

As this return was preceded with two members passing along information I just wanted to add my Thank You to both Leighton Harrington for passing the info to me and to Brian Rudolph in Maryland for helping Mary find the right “RingFinder” closer to her home and who would help her and her husband in the search for a lost Tantalum wedding band. This was my first Tantalum ring that I have found in my 41 years of detecting. Thanks to all, it has been my pleasure.

*** Sara is visiting Newport Beach from Idaho. Her friend was getting married and she wanted to see the ocean while being here in Southern California. The group of friends walked out to get a view of the Pacific Ocean, she stood on the upper sand watching the waves. She threw her hands in the air and her gold ring went flying. As the ring hit the sand it disappeared immediately. It happened so fast she couldn’t determine what direction it went. She knew for sure that was when the ring was lost.  Many times people think when they notice the ring missing that could be where it was lost.

Sara and her friends were able to optain a loaner metal detector. This was not going well so one of her friends found my information online after a onlooker suggested getting a metal detecting specialist. After receiving the call I met them on the beach a couple miles from where I live. The tide was coming in but we had plenty of time before it would be a problem.

Setting up my grid pattern to go over the area they had already searched, I planned to go outside the zone they had believed the ring had traveled. Rings seem to come off at the end of a throw. Sometimes they come off straight down to the feet of the person that threw a ball, brushed of sand off their clothes, rings lost playing volleyball can end up in the craziest of places. This ring was actually found ten feet outside of where everyone thought it would be..All those that searched for the ring were totally surprised where the ring ended up. Nothing surprises me anymore. Sara was very grateful, this was a ring that was a family heirloom, irreplaceable.

Gold Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered from Surf at a San Jaun Capistrano Beach

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

If you lost something important to you call or text a metal detecting specialist.. Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you now… Call or Text  Stan at 949-500-2136

*** Tyran was collecting sea glass and shells in the surf at a San Jaun Capistrano Beach when her diamond wedding rings slipped off her finger into the waves. It was just about sunset when it happened. It was very rough surf conditions right up next to breakwater rocks. The rings were not to be found that evening.

I got a call from her later after she found my information online. She was willing to meet me the next morning at the location. After reviewing the information she gave me and the tide conditions, I told her our best chances would be the later evening tide. Even though I wanted to go right away my past experience in this area proved to work out well.

I assured them that I didn’t need them to give me anymore directions as the photos she gave me were perfect to identify the location. They did have dinner reservations for that evening in another city. 

I was able to locate the engagement ring after fighting with a rough surf. The smaller of the two rings probably moved down the slope because the back wash was crazy strong. I was surprised that this larger ring was recovered in these conditions. That’s why I will at least give it my best shot. When I met Tyran and Eddie later that evening they were very happy and grateful to have this ring back. They had told me in the beginning  this was the most important ring of the two. 

Lost gold pendant – Fairhope, AL

  • from Mobile (Alabama, United States)

I got a call from Brad earlier this week about a small pendant that was lost in his yard a couple days prior. He was in Fairhope which is only about 20 miles away from me on Dauphin Island as the crow flies, but is over an hour drive because it’s “across the bay” as we like to say here. Because of the distance, we mutually agreed that an afternoon later in the week would work best for both of us.
The day finally arrived and I talked my hubby into a nice little afternoon drive. After running into an unmarked detour and a street that was so new it wasn’t on my car’s GPS, we finally found his house. After carefully listening to the details of how it was lost, we both sectioned off a portion of the yard and started gridding. Almost an hour later just as we were almost about to give up, I heard a shallow target with a promising tone on my Nox 800. I simultaneously looked down and there was the tiny 18K gold pendant with a stone nestled in the grass ! Yay !! I happily knocked on the door and dropped the little pendant into Brad’s hand. I always love the surprised look I get. Brad stepped out and quickly pulled a very generous monetary reward out of his pocket which, as always, I just as quickly turned down. Karma is always my best reward ! Brad declined my request for a picture of him, but he did let me take a picture of his two adorable little girls who looked very happy that Mommy and Daddy were happy.

Lost Sentimental Silver Ring at Kahala Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from the Kahala Hotel and Resort Concierge asking if I was available for a guest’s lost ring recovery at the beach in the water.  I responded that I was currently on a ring hunt and could be reached in about an hour and to give their guest my contact number.  While driving home from that successful recovery I got a call from Sune who was visiting Oahu from Copenhagen, Denmark.  As he was starting to swim the backstroke his Sentimental  Silver Ring fell off in chest deep water.  He borrowed a mask and snorkel but the water was too murky to see anything.  I told Sune since it was getting late I’d get on the tide chart at my home computer and call him back for the best time to hunt the following morning.  It so happened sunrise at 6:30 would be the beginning of a low tide and we agreed to meet in the hotel lobby.  When I arrived Sune showed me the area he was in and it was perfectly calm water although the surf was breaking on the outer reef.  Anyone who knows this beach it gets mucky in many spots and difficult to keep on a grid.  I decided to start shallow and work deep parallel to the shore.  I asked Sune if the depth I was at would be good and he said lets start a little bit shallower.  So I did.  I started the grid search and my first target was a nice high tone.  I took a scoop and as the scoop broke the surface I had a wad of gray muck and green algae in the scoop.  I got a glimpse of a silver shine and as I pulled the goop out of my scoop the silver ring was tangled in the algae.  OMG!  Had Sune not told me to go that little bit shallower I would have hunted for hours and not found it.  These Kahala Beaches have played many tricks on me in the past and each time the ring had been found more shallow then expected.  As you can imagine Sune was so grateful to have his sentimental ring back before he flies to Los Angeles this evening.  Aloha to Sune!
