I was out metal detecting on the beach on Sunday 9/24/2023 looking for a nice woman’s ring when I was approached by a gentleman about another  lost ring who explained he lost a wedding ring while in the water surfing. He explained the details of how he lost it. I handed him a business card and explained that I am a member of theringfinders.com metal detecting  service and that we help people recover there lost jewelry and other items with the use of a metal detector. However I also explained that since the ring was lost in deep water that there was not much I could do but would keep a eye out. And if the ring turned up I would notify him. I also had him text me a picture of the ring. since it was Identical to his wife’s ring he sent me a picture of hers. I agreed to pass the info along to others detectorist I know in the area in case it washed up and was found. Several hours later I was able to recover the ring which was not easy but glad I was able to find it. I’m always happy when I can help someone. The next day I met with him on Monday 9/25/2023 to return the ring. As it turns out the ring was returned on his anniversary.

This lost silver ring was recovered and returned at Wrightsville Beach NC.

I was out metal detecting on the beach on Sunday 9/24/2023 when I was approached by a nice woman who explained she lost a very special ring. She explained the details of how she lost it and a general area. I handed her a business card and explained that I am a member of theringfinders and that we help people recover there lost jewelry and other items with the use of a metal detector. I agreed to help her if could but it was not going to be a easy search . I told her that it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack since she lost it at the waters edge in the waves and the tide was going out which could have pulled and pushed the ring anywhere. But still I agreed to help if I could. I searched for awhile with no luck. Eventually she and her family had to leave and I told her I would keep searching and if the ring turned up I would get it back to her since we had already exchanged contact info when she sent me a picture of her ring. Later that night when the tide was lower I was still searching and decided to expand my search area since the tide and current could have moved it. I was North of the area where she lost it when I got a strong clear signal in the water. I recovered the signal and it was her ring. I texted her a picture of the ring and called her.  The next day on Monday 9/25/2023 I was able to return the ring and I was very happy to help. I asked why the ring was so special and she explained it was a ring her and her husband had picked out and bought it together while on a trip.

Lost Rose Gold w/Sapphire Ring Found Underwater in the Clinton River, Shelby Twp. Michigan

Luv On the Rocks…..

….With just 2 months into their engagement, Derrick’s fiancée was excited to show her new ring to some lady friends. With all the stress of planning a wedding, she was excited to spend an evening with them over dinner, dancing and catching up. As the evening progressed, the ladies moved out to part of the dance floor deck that was adjoining the Clinton River. Sometime during a few fast tunes with arms flying wildly, high fiving and hugs she remembered her ring flying off and hitting something metal. The next day her and Derrick combed the ground area with no luck. When I arrived, the only place left to search was in the water. Lowering myself down onto some slippery rocks placed against a metal headwall, I was knee deep in the cloudy water. Searching with my metal detector I could only get so close to the headwall. The current was strong in this location, and I would not be able to venture out too much further without safety equipment. Scanning the metal detector out to almost waist deep water I got a good signal. Peering into the water with my snorkel mask revealed her ring resting on the edge of a flat rock with sticky muck just inches away! Derrick lowered a rope to me slacked out enough so I could go upstream a bit. Letting the current push my arm back I was able to reach down, see the ring thru my snorkel mask and grab it off the rock. A risky but successful recovery! Holding the ring up, Derrick was overpowered with energy and excitement! Upon reaching higher solid ground, we fist bumped, and both admired the ring! Not only was it a stunning rose gold band but the gemstone was a very pale yet beautifully cut Sapphire! Now with the symbol of their engagement off the rocks, they are ready to rock and roll into a beautiful life together!

Lost Silver Sentimental Pendant at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This pendant hunt began Saturday, 2 September when I got a text from Nicholas who said his brother Michael visiting from San Diego, California lost a sentimental pendant from a necklace in Ulua Lagoon at Ko Olina resort.  He sent pictures of the lagoon area and the pendant.  We met at Ulua Lagoon soonest as the size of the pendant made me fear someone would spot it early morning when the lagoons are crystal clear.  Nicholas & Michael met me at the lagoon to show me the area to hunt.  Approximately waist deep I was expecting an easy recovery.  It didn’t happen and we all assumed the pendant was probably eyeballed and recovered by a swimmer.  Michael was obviously bummed but what can you do?  I told Michael I’d notify Security and check with the Lost & Found desk.  No luck there.  So on Saturday, September 16th I was back at Lagoon 4 doing my normal weekend search for other lost valuables when along the shoreline I got a strong high tone and in one scoop there was Michael’s pendant.  Wait, what?  For whatever reason, it wasn’t where we thought but who cares? I went back to my car and texted Nicholas that I had found Michael’s pendant.  A family member from Hawaii returned it to him this afternoon in San Diego.  That’s a smile of happiness!  Aloha to Michael & Nicholas!

Earrings and a six pack found at the beach

Pair of earrings lost and found in Rio de Janeiro (and a six pack as well)

Last Sunday, on a very hot winter afternoon, I was metal detecting at my favorite beach – Barra da Tijuca – I was about to call it a day, when I noticed three people searching for something on dry sand with bare hands. They shyly looked at me but none said anything. So, I asked them if what they had lost was made of metal. One of the girls said it was a pair of gold earrings she had recently received as a gift from her fiancé. It did not take me more than five minutes to find her earrings because she had seen them fly away from the pocket of her shorts when she took them off. She had put the earrings there to « not run the risk of losing them ». They were amazed for having the jewel back so fast and very happy for her . One more picture to the « book of smiles ».

What happened a little farther on, a few minutes later was very unusual. I was still detecting on dry sand but close to where the waves wash the sand, a young couple came up to me and said that earlier a freak shorebreak had overrun everything and everybody who was in that particular strip of beach and in the process, they had lost a six pack of beer. They thought it should be somewhere behind them because they hadn’t seen it rolling in the direction of the sea. Although I thought it was just a joke, after a few swings, I did find it under the sand a few meters where they thought it should be but not exactly behind them. The group they were with cheered in appreciation. Their joy was so contagious I simply forgot to take any picture.

Imani contacted me about a bracelet she had lost 2 days before. We talked about it, and I made sure she knew that because of the time involved, the chances of a recovery had diminished, but let her know there was still hope. She was at work, and I had a dental appointment, so we scheduled to meet at the spot later in the afternoon.

She had lost it just outside of a volleyball court, and she was sitting there waiting for me when I arrived. Imani explained that she had taken off the bracelet putting it in the pocket of her beach chair, and when she was leaving, she picked the chair up, and the bracelet fell out. She showed me where she had been, so I began the search. I went about 5 feet when I got a good signal. I scooped the sand, and in the scoop was a necklace. Imani immediately identified it telling me she never thought we would find it, so she never included it in the search. Well right next to the necklace was her bracelet. One scoop, and it was back in Imani’s hand. She let me know that the bracelet had been given to her by someone very special in her life, so to lose it hurt quite a lot. It brought her tears of joy when she saw it again. I was so privileged to see that smile.

I am available to help you now.. Call or text .. 949-500-2136 .. Stan the Metal Detector Man

*** Katie lost two gold and diamond rings from her beach chair cup holder while at Three Arch Bay in Laguna Beach, CA. Her husband contacted me at 9pm, asking me if I would be available to search for the rings the next day. 

He believed his wife was driving home after 4 hours searching unsuccessfully for the two very sentimental rings. He wanted to verify if she could meet me the next morning. When he returned a  call to me, he said she was still on the beach with 6 other people, with sifters and a beginners type metal detector. 

I told him I could be there in 30 minutes if Katie could wait at the location. This is a private gated community so they had to clear me through the security gate. She said yes and I was on my way. 

When I got to the beach, walking down the steps in the dark, I could see an army of searchers ( 6 ). Katie showed me where she had been sitting. The tide was rising and would soon be covering the potential spot where the loss could have occurred. I turned on my detector taking a few swings. Immediately I got multiple signals. With the whole group of searchers around me I dug up the first ring. The next scoop was the second ring.. 

Everyone celebrated with excitement and cheers of joy. They were also surprised that they had not been able to find either of the rings. Several of them said they spent much of their search time in the exact location..  A bit of experience, prompt response and the proper equipment is the secret to a successful recovery.. That’s what I offer.. 

If you lose something of importance call or text … Stan the Metal Detector Man ..949-500-2136 .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. Metal Detecting is what I do..

Lost Gold Ring Found in Brighton Michigan

Showing Off…..

….Was not the intention of Derek’s fiancée. However, after arriving home to a surprise engagement party the urge to brag was too overwhelming. As the evening progressed her ring was being passed around for friends and family to behold the beauty of it while the bride to be watching in close proximity. After dark she recalled it being returned to her but after getting into the house the ring was nowhere to be found. With family from out of state on their way to stay the weekend and all their friends present notified of the disappearance, what were they to do? Searching into the wee hours of the morning brought no luck. When I arrived, Derek went over the possible areas the ring could be. Using my MXT metal detector I started a grid search of the first area. Thankfully, this was the correct area from the signal and meter reading on the metal detector. Probing my pin-pointer thru the thick grass revealed this eye catching, stunningly beautiful ring! As I held it up Derek practically fell over into the grass in total disbelief that it was found. Reality set in quickly as he held it in his hand, cherishing the symbol and meaning of love for his fiancée and their future life together.

Phone Lost While Kayaking the Flint River…FOUND by Ring Finder in Brownsboro, AL!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

On August 22nd, 2023, I received a call from Maurice stating he had lost his Samsung Galaxy S20 cell phone while kayaking the Flint River in Brownsboro, Alabama.  It had been about a week since the loss.  Maurice had already bought a new phone, but he really wanted all the files he had on the one that was lost.  Maurice made a post on Facebook for help on how to recover his phone.  Someone mentioned my name in the comments, so that’s how he discovered the metal detecting service, The Ring Finders.  We decided that he should first try a local group that specializes in item recoveries from the Flint River, because of the limited entry/exit points.  You pretty much have to kayak that entire 5.5-mile stretch of river (3–4-hour float) to get to the area of loss.

Unfortunately, that group wasn’t available to search for Maurice’s phone, so he reached back out to me.  We planned a kayak trip on Sunday, September 17th.  I met Maurice at the North Alabama Canoe and Kayak (NACK) rental.  I had all of my water detecting gear and Minelab Equinox 800.  We got on the river and made our way down to where Maurice lost his phone.  It was just past the powerlines, where you need to call the rental place to pick you up.  His kayak had flipped over on a rough spot, next to a log.

The water was pretty cold, so I had on my 3mm wetsuit.  There was a decent current by the log, but it was fairly shallow.  There was a 4-5-foot-deep spot, so that’s where we thought the phone should be.  I cleared the main shallow area and focused in on the deeper spot.  I ended up finding 2 other cell phones, which were not Maurice’s (I’ll try to get them back to the rightful owners).  I searched further down the river, but still didn’t find it.  I went back to that deeper spot and ended up finding another phone.  This time, it was the right one — Maurice’s phone!

Maurice was so happy to have his phone back!  We celebrated and I thanked the Lord for a successful recovery.  I packed up my gear, we took some photos, and we kayaked to the pick-up spot.  Even though the phone had been in the river for about a month, Maurice had it back and should be able to retrieve the data from his SD card.  I’m so thankful and blessed that I’m able to use my hobby of metal detecting to help others.  All thanks and praise to God!  Looking forward to the next adventure…
