I was contacted by a young lady who said she had lost her diamond ring while hanging up Christmas lights the day before. Her and her husband had searched for it but were unable to locate it. I hopped in car and went down to have a look. It was a rather small yard with a bit of a hill and some landscaping, while she was not 100% sure she lost it outside I was feeling rather good about finding it if she did. I had been out on two searches the day before and came up empty so I was hoping for a quick search and recovery. They did not have a lot of lights out so that made me feel even a bit more confident that I only had to check a small area. I quickly got to work and in no time at all I was through the search area and had found nothing. I stopped for a minute to make sure I had checked everywhere there was lights and to survey the area before starting my second sweep. Suddenly when I looked up at some of the lights with some greenery I noticed something small and shiny. There – right in front of me – caught up in the lights and greenery was the ring!! I rang the doorbell and told her that I had found the ring – no metal detector needed! She came out and could not believe where I had found it. It was great to be able to return her ring to her and she was very happy and grateful to have it back. As always, it is great to meet warm and generous people and even better was to have helped make the holidays a little brighter!

I received a call from Daniel who had lost his iPhone and AirPods at the beach. He and his friends had searched for them for a while before they called. I was available, so I told him I would come immediately.
I got to the beach and found Daniel with his friends. He took me over to the area they believed to loss to have occurred, and I readied for my search. they put me right on top of the phone because it took about 45 seconds to find the phone, and then the AirPods. They couldn’t believe how fast the return was made. I was happy to have helped them, although Daniel was a bit camera shy.

Johnathon called for help in finding his wedding ring. He was at work, and walked across a bridge that went into the building when his ring came off and fell into the tall grass below. It was night, but I knew that given the right location I would be able to help him, so I told him I would come right away.
When I got there Johnathon showed me the area he believed the ring fell into, and it was covered with very tall ornamental grass, so I got my detector with a narrow coil to do the search. It took a while hiking up and down the hillside to search, making sure to grid thoroughly. Fortunately the area was clean of metal trash which made the search easier and quicker. I then came upon one big clump of grass, got a good tone, put my pin pointer in, and found his ring. I was able to reunite Johnathon with his ring within 20 minutes of arriving, which allowed him to get back to his job with a happier outlook on the day.

*** Emil called me shortly after discovering that his 18k Cartier wedding band was not on his finger. He had been visiting friends that live near the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, CA. They walk ed to the beach and did a quick dive into the surf, then walked across the dry sand and a block along the sidewalk to the house. While sitting in the jacuzzi he realized the ring was missing.
Those were the clues I had to begin my search. I would love to hear that he felt the ring come off when he dove in the surf. After talking to Emil, I explained that I could use my metal detector to search the surf at the next low tide and I could search the dry sand to where he got to the sidewalk. All other possible places would have to be searched visually. He said he could do that.
My search of the dry sand and the wet sand at the next two low tides were unsuccessful. I told him that I would keep his contact information and the photo of his ring in case it showed up some time later. This is a beach I often detect and sometimes other detectorists ask me if I can connect them to owners of rings they have found.
Two months later I was doing some recreational metal detecting on that same location and I found a silver colored ring but didn’t associate it with the white gold ring lost two months ago. A half hour later I started to think, maybe that ring could be the one that Emil lost. I pulled out my iPhone to check the photo Emil had sent me two months ago. BOOM!!! It was a match.. Emil’s ring did come off in the surf and survived two major storms with lots of sand movement.
I sent him a photo of his ring and we met the same night so he could pick up his ring. Some beaches can hold a ring in the 10” to 14” depth for weeks, making low tide recoveries possible. This was not one of those beaches. Soft fluffy sand eats rings, or let’s them sink out range of most metal detectors.. We were lucky !!
I can help you with any questions you may have about how a metal detecting service works .. Available Now .. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “

…As the last of the leaves have fallen and autumn’s still callin’, there was a few more tasks Jay was eager to complete before the holidays approached. After splitting a few logs, he was left with untangling the Christmas lights and installing them throughout the yard. With darkness closing in he quickly threaded the wires through the bushes. Stepping back to take in a wider view, he turned them on and admired his work. Back inside the house he noticed his ring was missing. Terribly concerned, he spent a restless night wondering where it was. I arrived the next day, chatted with his wife and got the details of where to look for the ring while he was at work. Using my MXT metal detector I did a quick grid search around the perimeter in the grass with no luck. Scanning in closer to the bushes I got some random pieces of aluminum. Continuing along the sidewalk leading to the house I got a solid signal in the middle of two bushes. Using my pin-pointer I got a signal and reaching down the wire I pulled it from under some leaves and saw his ring over one of the Christmas lights! I was thrilled and ran to the door. When his wife opened the door, I held up the ring and as she saw it in my hand, she smiled saying how excited and relieved she was that it was found and the overwhelming thoughts of where it was had been solved. I said let’s « fall » it a day and assured her that there’s always someone and a way to solve a problem……then she said…. and today it was theringfinders!

>>> Russ called me asking for help to find his platinum wedding ring. He had been playing with his dog in the backyard. Soon after going inside the house he discovered his platinum wedding ring was not on his finger. Although he didn’t feel the ring come off his finger he believed the ring had to be somewhere in the backyard.
He used a rake to try dislodge the ring from the grass. After several hours, he gave up and went to the internet for ideas on how to search for a ring. While online he found TheRingFinders site and my contact information. He called me that afternoon. I found out that he could be home to let me search the small back yard grass and planters.
After arriving at his home in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA., Russ showed me a nice grass backyard with planters all around the perimeter. It looked promising as the lawn was deep grass, perfect to hide a heavy platinum ring.
I gave Russ a bit of a tutorial on my detector and how I would begin my search. He understood that it was going to be a tedious process and he went inside the house. My plan was to eliminate the grass then attack the ground level planters. Well, I was three quarters through the grass area when I took a swing into one of the planters, BOOM!! a nice tone in my earphones that I had to inspect with my pinpointer. Russ’s ring was no longer lost.
I went to their back door to inform them that I had found the ring. It was still in its hiding place, so I directed them to the location. After pointing out where it was they still couldn’t see it. It’s amazing how the silver color of platinum, silver or white gold can almost act as camouflage in dirt or any shaded location. It was a happy occasion for all of us. Technology wins again..

Gerry called asking if I would be available to do a search for him. I said I was, and asked what the problem was. He told me he had been gardening 2 weeks prior, and because of his recent weight loss, his ring of 46 years somehow slipped off in the process. He and his wife had searched over and over with no luck. I let him know that I was on my way, and was happy to help him out.
When I arrived Gerry showed me 5 small trough planters that he had been working in, and a possible hedge row that he thought it might have fallen in. I began with the planters pushing my pin pointer into the soft potting soil to try and get a signal from the ring, but was not able to find it in the planters. I was getting ready to look in the hedge row, when Gerry brought over a trash can lid with some potting soil and dead plant material. I lifted the plants and shook them, and then put my pin pointer into the soil when my pin pointer fired up. There it was, and I held the ring up for Gerry. He looked surprised, and told me he had searched that dirt at least twice. Well I was glad to get this token of love that he had for 46 years back to him.

This Ring Find began on 15 September when I got a text from Jean from Los Angeles, California and was on vacation on Oahu. It said, « I lost a platinum ring at Lanikai Beach last Saturday 09/10 at 1-2pm while snorkeling in 6ft deep water (tide is low intensity sand hard and water clear but could not find it…maybe it is stuck in a coral hole. Please let me know what of think) » This was going to be a scuba hunt as during a high tide it could be 8 feet deep. Jean sent some excellent pics of the area so on 23 September I commenced a scuba hunt after the jellyfish invasion the few days prior. Man-O-Wars and Box Jellies are the worst at Lanikai! The beach access turned out to be the extreme right side of the grid search so I started there. As I worked my way north I detected the sand and did a thorough visual search of the top of each coral head. The area was really sterile so not many junk targets to dig. About 20 minutes into the dive as I was exiting a dense coral area I got a nice #9 on the Nox and in a few fans of the sand a Platinum Ring came into view. When I got back to my car I texted a pic to Jean who was back in LA. He asked if I could verify it had a triangle, heart and circle engraved inside the band. Sure enough it did. Jean didn’t want to chance losing his ring in the mail and asked if I could hold it until his return trip in December. Well today Jean & his lovely wife Clemence arrived on island and Jean got his ring back. Love the Texas hat. Aloha to Jean & Clemence!

I received a call from Michelle who told me she had lost a diamond stud earring in the sand at the beach that day. It was getting dark, and I asked if she would be able to find the area that it was lost in, as diamond stud earrings are one of the most difficult pieces of jewelry to find because there is such a small amount of metal attached to them., She said she knew exactly where it happened, and I told her that I would leave shortly to do the search.
When I got to the beach Michelle’s husband Austin met me to show the location of the search. In the dark we walked out, and oh boy, when considering a small item like a stud earring the beach looks so vast. Well we got to the area where Michelle had told her husband to look, and very wisely I could see the she had drawn two lines to look between (about 10 feet apart), because she felt it come out of her ear. At my request Austin had brought the matching earring in a Ziplock bag, and I tested my detector on it. I had to be within one inch for the detector to find it, and I was hoping that it did not get buried too deep. I started my search, and was finding some trouble with the black sand which was causing my super sensitive detector to sound off every couple of inches which I would have to check. I worked slowly towards the other end of the area. When I got to the end I got a bit more solid signal, reached down and brushed the sand away when just under about 1/2 inch of sand out pops Michelle’s earring. I thought about how amazing it was to find it on such a large beach in the darkness of the night, and then held it up for Austin. He came over likewise amazed. Well he then told me they were from Colorado, and were going back in a couple of days. He did not want his picture taken, so I stood in for him.
