Lost Gold Ring w/ Tiger Eye Inlay Found in Ypsilanti Michigan
Swinging Low, Swinging High….
….was the rhythmic motion Tom observed as his daughter was having fun on the swing set. As he was tightening some bolts on the set, she soared high thru the air. Leaning a bit too far back gazing at the bright blue sky she started to slip off the swing backwards. It was then Tom dropped his tools and rushed over to catch her and luckily, he brought her down safely. As nighttime was approaching, he gathered his tools and daughter and headed into the house. Settling in for a cozy night he noticed his family heirloom ring was missing. A short search in the dark brought no luck. I began a grid search around the swing set. No signals came thru my metal detector headphones. I decided to search a bit out aways from the set and got a clear signal. Brushing a few leaves from the grass surface revealed his beautiful ring pushed down into the ground like someone walked on it. Texting him to come out to where I was, he was bewildered to know it was out that far from the swing set. Extremely happy that his ring was found, his daughter was excited to continue having a great time on her swing with dad by her side!

Lost Gold w/Diamond Stud Earring Found in Washington Township Michigan
Vampires in the Garden…..
….their monsters that lurk in your neighborhood that terrify you when your outside and want to suck your blood. That’s what happened to Robin as she was swarmed by mosquitos while pulling the last of her vegetables and weeds from the garden. Swatting at them she knocked her stud earring off into the grass. She searched with a toy type metal detector with no luck and enduring more bites from those pesky monsters, she reached out to me for help. With the mention of little vampires, I took a few garlic capsules and hit the road. Arriving on site I started a grid search with my metal detector. Searching in the bright light, I was not plagued by any mosquitos, but could tell that the woods next to the property was where they were probably hiding out. Metal detecting thru a small amount of house construction materials from long ago I finally got a great signal close to where the earring stud should be on the detector meter. Looking carefully thru the deep grass revealed Robin’s gold diamond stud earring! Texting that I found something pointy in the grass that doesn’t sting had her running out the side door. In total amazement she reached out and put the earring back into her ear! Thrilled that no extra garlic was needed she was thankful her earring was found and that no more little vampires will be haunting her Halloween!

*** While brushing sand off her shoulder, Deborah’s diamond engagement ring went flying into the sand. Her husband, Alex had spent fours hours with a metal detector scanning the dry sand. While he was desperately trying to be her hero and find her ring. Deborah found my contact information on a google search. I wish I knew how many people walk away from their lost rings because they couldn’t find them with a beginner’s metal detector that had no idea of how to use.
I got the call from them at about 8pm. We met on a the sand in the dark near a lifeguard tower in Newport Beach. I could tell they were frustrated after so many hours of searching. Alex told me he had no confidence that a metal detector could find a small gold ring in the sand. I gave him a little explanation of how I do ring searches with the most up to date equipment and years of experience using them.
Twenty minutes of grid scanning produced the precious white gold engagement ring. They were ecstatic giving me big high fives. It’s always nice to see how grateful people are when we find their special keepsake. I know the ring probably would not be there if they waited till the next day before calling for help.

Lost Ring Found Under the Starlight of South Dennis, MA
October 2, 2023: While preparing for a monthly association meeting I just missed answering my cell phone. Luckily the caller followed the answering message and called my home line. My wife was near enough to get the phone to me before the caller hung up. The caller was Dennis and he had been cleaning off a swinging chair readying it for an hour or so of enjoying the morning sun and bright blue sky. Something that had not been seen for the previous few days of rain and heavy fog. As he brushed the leaves away, away went his wedding band.
In hours of searching he did not find the ring. At the local hardware store that rents a metal detector he was told that he would be very lucky to find the ring with their rental unit. With that said he was given information about the local guy (me) that has professional equipment for such a search and to contact him through TheRingFinders.com. And Dennis did.
As I said, I had a meeting to go to and the sun was setting about 6:30 with last light at 7PM. My luck and Dennis’s was that the meeting was very short and I could be detecting within 10 minutes, and I was. Twilight was replaced by moon light and flash lights so I could continue my searching.
I knew the ring would be somewhere within the area of the chair, fence, garden and grassy area. I covered the grassy area first as it was the easiest to detect over. No ring was to be found. Next I started between the chair and garden’s edge. I was going to leave the planted garden area for last. I had no need to, as the third swing between the chair and the garden’s edge I heard a very promising signal. A sweep with my pin-pointer and Dennis saw a glitter from his ring, even before I did. He was so fast in his motion of picking it up and putting the wedding band back where it belonged, on his finger. I never saw it happen.
Now it was time to do a bit of talking. Put retired Army and Navy men together and they can talk for hours. We cut it short and took a few pictures and said our Thank Yous and I was on my way back home knowing Dennis’s wife would have a bigger smile on her face than Dennis had on his, though it would be hard to do so.

… Margret was kneeling in the surf near the Balboa Pier when a rouge wave hit her. After recovering from that wave she realized her gold chain with two pendants and a small gold ring were missing. These had been given to her by her father and very sentimental to her.
John, a family friend reached out to call me for help. We met on the beach as the tide was rising a half hour after the loss. Normally our best chance for a recovery is the next low tide. I like to meet as soon as possible to get the best shot at the location before the people leave the beach.
I did pull out my detector to search the incoming tide because there is always a chance the waves may push the items up the sandy slope. After a half hour working to waist deep water I was able to find the small gold ring. Margret was happy to have this ring as it was inscribed. I was able to tell her the lightweight pendants may be difficult to find as the backwash of the waves on this steep sloping beach can take it out of range for my equipment.
I returned for the next two low tides and could not find the two pendants. Actually Margret told me the ring was the most important of the three pieces of jewelry. She had thought it was so small that a metal detector couldn’t find it.
Sorry for the poor photos, I don’t carry a cellphone when I’m searching the surf. I stopped carrying my cellphone after dropping it in the surf while doing a search. ( I couldn’t recover my phone even though I realized it was missing a minute after dropping it) It happen a couple years ago and it was an expensive search for me.
Lost Tantalum & Gold Wedding Band at Aulani Resort Ko Olina…FOUND!!!


This ring find began Monday when I got a text from Jorge who was on vacation from Los Angeles and staying at the Aulani Resort at Ko Olina. The Hotel had given him my number as the resort’s detectorist. His text said, » Long story short I lost a ring by the beach and was wondering if you’ve gone by recently and might have found it. It was lost a week ago. » Turns out the ring was actually lost by his friend Jose who had given up looking for it a week earlier, returned to LA and asked Jorge if he could check the « Lost & Found » which put him in contact with me. I got some details about the ring and the area lost and decided to hunt after work Tuesday. Since Jose mentioned struggling with his young daughter getting her ready to go to the beach and after removing his ring to apply suntan lotion, after the chaos subsided, he realized his ring had disappeared somewhere in the dry sand below the Ko Olina Chapel. I started by moving the beach chairs where I assumed he would have set the bag down the ring was on. No luck there. I expanded the grid search out towards the chapel and on the third leg I got an excellent tone on the Manticore. After one scoop there was Jose’s unique Tantalum & Gold Ring in the scoop. I returned to my car to give Jorge the good news. We decided to meet at the Chapel for the return. Jorge was very grateful I found his friend Jose’s ring and asked if we could FaceTime with him in LA. « I said of course! » When Jose appeared on the phone and Jorge introduced him to me I could tell he was extremely relieved and very appreciative of the ring finder’s service. I’m still waiting on a selfie from Jose when Jorge gives him back his ring in LA next week. Aloha to Jose & Jorge!

*** Che is visiting Huntington Beach from Puerto Rico. He was making surf movies on the south side of Huntington Beach Pier. His son was going out with his surfboard for a photo shoot and handed Che his platinum / diamond wedding band to keep safe.
It was just before sunset when they finished the photo shoot. They walked off the beach to the parking lot. That’s when Che’s son asked for the ring. It had slipped off his dad’s finger, somewhere between the waterline and the parking lot. ( more than 150 yards )
A call to me at 8:30pm let us set up a meeting at the location where he had set up his camera tripod.. This is where he had spent the most time and the best place to start before the tide comes in. After a few minutes I got a great signal from something metal in the sand. A quick scoop in the sand revealed the precious and very sentimental platinum wedding band.
Che was very relieved and happy to have his son’s ring to give back. Needless to say he was feeling guilty that he had lost the ring. Now he is the hero for getting a metal detector specialist to find the important ring.
Available to help you now, I can answer any questions you have about how this service works.. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “
Lost ring recovered Central City Nebraska
Elizabeth was out in the beautiful country enjoying a walk with her young son and dog when they ventured off the main road and through the tall grass in the ditch. When they eventually got back on the road she noticed her wedding ring of 7 years was not on her finger. Her husband tried all he could think of, weed whipping the ditch, burning it all off and buying a metal detector. The ring they felt was lost for good, even to the point of looking in jewelry stores for a replacement. That is when Elizabeth stumbled across Theringfinders.com. I took my partner, Nelson my son, so we could cover the most area in the shortest time. 35 minutes later we get the signal. We were honored to be a part of the story of returning an irreplaceable symbol to them. Rob 402-580-6933
