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

Contact:

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.

*** 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..

Lost Gold Ring Found in Brighton Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

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…

*** A nice lady named Summer called asking for help to find two rings that may have fallen out of her beach bag. Summer was at her local volleyball court in Marina Del Rey, CA. the day before calling me. She wasn’t sure but thought her two favorite rings may be in the sand. They also could be anywhere between the beach and her home a mile from where she had taken the rings off, placing them in her beach bag.

Lately I have had several calls for other lost pieces of jewelry that had inadvertently pulled out of bags or purses. I told her it’s very possible the rings could still be there. At least I can scan the area and tell her the rings are not there. 

We met at Marina Del Rey beach volleyball recreation area an hour later. She was able to put me on the exact spot where the bag had been the day before. Turned on the metal detector making a few adjustments then taking a couple practice swings. A short time later I had both rings in the scoop. The made it through the night, hiding in the sand. Needless to say Summer was extremely happy and relieved that her favorite rings were not lost forever.. 

I like it when rings are lost in sand, soft dirt or grass. That way the lost items can hide from someone accidentally finding them and not knowing how or where to find the owners. All in all it was another great day of recovering sentimental rings for such a nice lady..

 

I am available now call to ask for help or any other information you would like to know about how Mobile Metal Detecting service works .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.

Dave MacDonald, Carpinteria Ringfinder, Recovers 5 Lost Rings at Carpinteria State Beach
Yesterday afternoon, I received a frantic call from Jenny, her voice trembling as she described losing not one, but five precious rings at Carpinteria State Beach. She’d tucked them into her beach bag before a swim, only to discover they were gone when she got home. As Dave MacDonald, your trusted Carpinteria Ringfinder and Santa Barbara Ringfinder, I knew time was critical. I grabbed my Equinox 900 metal detector and headed out to reunite Jenny with her treasures.
Jenny shared photos of her beach spot, which became our starting point. At first, our search through the dry sand turned up nothing but trash. Undeterred, I suggested a closer look at her pictures. Using my phone camera, we compared the images to the landscape, realizing we’d misjudged the location. With this new insight, we shifted our focus—a key move for any lost ring Carpinteria recovery.
Minutes after adjusting our search area, the Equinox 900 lit up with signals. In a small patch of sand, the first ring emerged, followed by the rest—one by one, like buried treasure. Within moments, all five of Jenny’s rings were back in her hands, her relief palpable. This success showcases why I’m proud to serve as the Montecito Ringfinder and beyond, turning heartbreak into happy endings.

Ring set recovered in Oconto County Lake

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

My fellow Ring Finder friend, Jeff Wettstein received a voicemail on Tuesday, August 22nd, about 9:45 PM
from Judy sharing that her mother lost her wedding ring in the water by her lake home in Oconto County.

He called her that evening to learn the specifics like how was lost, where it was lost, asking
“Are you sure she lost the ring in the lake?…etc. Judy’s mother is 95 years young and still swims in the
lake with a pool noodle and does have some memory loss. Jeff learned that Judy’s brother from Virginia
was visiting and had been with their mother during the time she was swimming. He also learned the ring
was lost the last week of July…about 3 weeks before Jeff received the call to see if he would be willing to
do the recovery. Jeff was sent a picture of the ring.  It turned out to be a two-ring set, wedding and engagement, soldered together, worn since 1955, which made it even more imperative to be found.

Jeff carefully searched the shallow area first for about 5 hours covering all he could before the water was over his head.  He  found all the usual suspects of junk, a few coins, and a mood ring.    Jeff received more details from Judy’s brother on the path where “Mom” swam. He mentioned to Judy that he would come back another day and would dive for it.

Jeff then reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to participate in diving for the ring since it was not in shallow water.  Jeff has a hookah pump and 60-foot hoses, so we don’t need SCUBA tanks, though we are both certified divers. The regulators and buoyancy compensator (bc) vests are the same as SCUBA, as well as the masks and weights.  One person must stay « up top » to make sure the compressor is operating and the air hose is guarded from curious boaters and jet skiers.

 (They should stay 100′ away, but they don’t always.)I let air out of my vest, but couldn’t go down. It turned out I needed 18 pounds of lead to sink, and I used to need 12, which means I’m fatter, or maybe it was the extra neoprene vest. So, a few more lead shot bags tucked into my bc pockets, and I was ready to work!
We sank a search grid and covered her path, moving the grid after each full sweep. She had swum from their dock to their swimming raft to clean the cobwebs off of it. maybe 60 feet or so.

The water was between 8 and 10 feet deep, and I was submerged at least two hours. I liked it down there, but was searching blind because the silt billowed up. It was all by feel and sound. I followed the white grid pvc pipe with one hand and pressed a metal detecting coil into the lake bed with the other, waving it back and forth. There weren’t many signals, but you have be thorough. After a few false alarms, a nail and a few cans, I heard a signal near the raft and started feeling for it in the silt with my fingers. The signal kept sinking through the pudding, then slowed it’s decent

Re-united!

The beautiful recovered ring set!

The dive team, mom, and daughter.

when it hit thicker layers of mud. I lost it twice, then it stabilized about 18 inches deep in some cold clay. I started grabbing for it and waving handfuls of clay over my coil, hoping the signal wouldn’t sink too deep to recover. Finally, my fist beeped, so I knew something was in there, and it felt like a ring set. I finned to the surface to examine the object in the sun, and there it was! Jeff presented it to the family. Everyone was smiling, so our day was made!
