Property stakes found by Florida Ring Finder, Mike McInroe, with a metal detector in Lake Mary Florida.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Pete was needing to locate two of his property stakes and gave me a call. With the help of a kind neighbor who loaned him a blue print copy of their subdivision with measurements and possible corner markers, we set about using my metal detector to find his missing property stakes. It took some digging and measuring but an hour later we were successful. It is always a pleasure helping people in need and Pete was thrilled as ever to find what he was desperately looking for.

Lost Platinum Tiffany & Co. Wedding Band at Waikiki Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began as I was headed home from work, when I got a call from Tyler who was on a Anniversary vacation in Waikiki from San Jose, California.  He had just erected a tent sun shade on Waikiki Beach and then realized his Tiffany & Co, Platinum Wedding Band was no longer on his finger.  I told him I would grab my gear at home, then park at the zoo and head down to the Waikiki Beach search area.  Tyler met me at the Duke Kahanamoku statue and we walked to the area of the beach where the ring was lost.  Tyler’s lovely wife Annie had been holding the spot under the sun shade and helped us move all the beach items from the search area.  I fired up the Manticore and commenced the search.  There were a few targets and of course we dig it all so as to be sure the desired target isn’t masked.  A few pieces of foil and a pull tab were detected then a solid Platinum tone on the beast and as I moved some sand with the coil Tyler’s ring came into view.  I leaned over and grabbed the Platinum Ring and handed it to Tyler.  An obvious sigh of relief was the expression on his face.   A few hugs and thank yous to cap off the saved vacation.  Aloha to Tyler & Annie!

Lady’s White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On 7/18/2025 shortly after 2 pm, I received a call from Kari asking if I could help find her wedding band. I asked her if it was in the water and she stated, “No, it’s in the dry sand.” She mentioned that she had taken her rings off to apply suntan lotion. She also said she had found 5 of her rings but couldn’t find the wedding band. I told her I could be there in 20-30 minutes and asked her to send me the address. I was on my way when I got the address. I plugged it into my GPS and sent her a text saying I was on my way and my ETA.

When I got to the beach, parking was non-existent. I pulled into the resort parking garage and found a spot. I was hoping I could find her ring and be back to the car before I got a ticket. I sent her a text saying, “Here.” She called me and told me she saw me and was waving. I saw her and made my way in her direction. I asked her what kind of metal it was, and she handed me her engagement ring and said it’s just like this one. White gold wedding and engagement rings usually shows a VDI (visual display indicator) between 4-6. I turned my detector on, laid the engagement ring in the sand, which quickly disappeared, and ran the coil over the area.  Sure enough, the engagement ring rang up as a 4. I had to use my scoop to get her engagement ring back out of the sand. Kari showed me the area, which was about a 1ft-by-1ft spot. I looked at her, said “30 seconds” and ran my coil over the spot and BINGO! I got a 3 on the VDI, took a very small scoop of sand and had the target. I gently shook out the sand, saw her ring and then held the scoop up so she could see and retrieve her ring. Happy Lady!!!

Kari – Thank you for contacting me to help find your lost ring.

A Recent Success Story: Recovering a Diamond Engagement Ring in SilverLake, Los Angeles.
Recently, Dave received a call from Ohio about a lost diamond engagement ring in SilverLake, Los Angeles. Kendall reached out on behalf of her daughter, Kaitlin, who had accidentally flung her ring off her fiancé’s car hood while waving goodbye, holding her baby. The ring landed in a challenging garden filled with cacti, bougainvillea, and thorny plants. Thanks to Kaitlin’s detailed photos, Dave prepared to search meticulously, relying on his pinpointers rather than his Minelab Manticore due to the dense, prickly terrain.The search area was a narrow 10-foot ledge above a steep, hazardous hillside. Kaitlin’s fiancé suggested starting on the far right, believing the ring landed there. After 15 minutes of careful searching on hands and knees, Dave found no trace of the ring. Just as he reassessed, Kaitlin’s grandmother shared a vivid dream about the ring’s location—halfway to the left on the flat ledge. Respecting her intuition, Dave shifted his focus.Within two minutes, his pinpointer detected a signal under a bush. Peeling back leaves and navigating thorns, Dave spotted the glint of a diamond. Buried in underbrush, the ring was tricky to retrieve, but he carefully scooped it up, leaves and all, revealing the stunning engagement ring in all its glory. Kaitlin and her family were overjoyed!

How to find a find a cellphone and a wallet at a Newport Beach, CA. waterfront resturant .. Just Call Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136


** Beverly was at a Newport Beach waterfront resturant when her friend dropped his cellphone with a magnetic wallet into the bay. She contacted me telling me it was just off a dock in about 8’ to 10’ of water.

I had just had mild surgery and could not go into the water. I called my favorite diver, Rudy to asked if he was available.  We met at the dock a couple hours later. Rudy is always willing to assist me and I provide him with some of my underwater metal detecting equipment.

After gearing up we were able to get both the cellphone and the wallet that had credit cards with identification.

I always try to have back up equipment and other Ringfinders available if I am unable to take a call out.

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On 7/16/2025 a little after 9 a.m. I received a call and voice mail from a 724-area code. I was on my way to Charleston, SC for a VA appointment and wasn’t able to immediately respond. The voice mail said, “Hi Jim, my name is Misty. We found you on ring finder and I lost my ring yesterday. I believe I lost it when I got knocked down by a wave at the beach and I’m hoping that you can help us out and help me find that. My number is 724-etc.” After listening to the voice mail, I took a guess that they were in Myrtle Beach and quickly looked up the tides for the day. I called Misty and got additional details, like the time she lost it and confirmed they were in Myrtle Beach. She confirmed Myrtle Beach and said she thought it was around 2 p.m., her husband said between 12 and 3 p.m. I told her I could be there around 4 p.m. and see what I could do. Once I got to my appointment, I double checked the tides and realized I had the wrong day. That’s what happens when you’re driving and trying to look at your phone. My best guess was she had actually lost it about 2 hours before low tide. I text her and told her that low tide was at 6:31 and that I’d be there at 5. I also ask her to send me the resort address. She agreed to 5 and sent me the address. On the way back from Charleston, I was watching the thunderstorms moving through the area due to the heat we’ve been getting. I text Missy and told her I was keeping an eye on the storms. The rain doesn’t bother me cause I’m probably going to get wet going in the ocean. Lightning’s a whole other story; I’m basically carrying two lightning rods in my hands, my metal detector and my sand scoop. Both have carbon fiber shafts which are able to conduct electricity.

By the time I got to the beach, the storms had passed, the sun was shining, and it was hot again. I met Misty and her longtime friend Barbara in the parking lot. We walked out to their spot on the beach, and I met her husband, Justin. They were set up within a few feet of where they were the day before. I got a north and south boundary line, probably 30-40 yards apart and searched around their area from the day before. No luck there, I started a perpendicular east/west grid line from about the middle of the beach out into the ocean. I was finding the typical trash, bottle caps and pull tabs but no ring. I searched for about an hour and half and only had a few yards left to search. This being a white gold wedding band I was expecting between a 9 and 12 on the detector’s VDI (visual display indicator). Suddenly, I hit a solid 10-11 and I knew I had her ring. I dug out a couple of scoops of sand and saw her beautiful ring lying in the sand I had spread out with my foot. I reached down and picked it up and looked up at them as they were looking at me. Now for the shock reveal. I put the ring in my pocket with the bottle caps and pull tabs, oh and an earring I had found. I walked back up the beach where they were sitting, looking like I was exhausted. I pulled out the items in my pocket and maneuvered her ring under a couple of bottle caps in the palm of my hand. I told them I wasn’t haven’t much luck and offered to show her what I had found. I bent down to show her, and she suddenly saw her ring and from there things got very emotional, happy, total shock and disbelief. I loved it!!! Her husband told me he saw me move the ring but didn’t say anything. Misty came up out of her chair and gave me a big hug. It doesn’t get any better than that, a very happy couple.

Misty and Justin – Thank you for allowing me to help get your treasure back where it belongs. Have a great rest of your vacation and a safe trip back to PA.

Jim

Metal detecting for Lost Cartier watch on the beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)
Contact:

If you lost a piece of jewelry on the beach and need someone with a metal detector and 15 yrs of detecting experience… give me a call, Louis, at 305-608-1870.  I can come out and help you recover your lost item.

In the pictures above, I was called out to search for a platinum and gold Cartier watch that was lost down by the waters edge.  It was placed in a shirt and then the shirt was moved and the watch fell out and buried itself in the sand.  I was skeptical that it was still there, I thought someone saw it and walked off with it.  But that wasn’t the case.  Right when I was about to start searching it started to rain and she thought would t be able to detect.  Luckily she put me in the right spot and my first signal, there it was.  We had enough time to take a few pictures before the sky opened up.

Again, if you lost something, send me a text or call at 305-608-1870

Lost Wedding Ring set at Coeur d’Alene lake…Found!!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

The summer heat was making the sand too hot to walk on, so Emma retreated to the cool lapping waves on Coeur d’Alene lake. While enjoying the water, her friends and family started a game of water volleyball. While passing the ball back and forth, Emma spiked the ball. As the spinning ball flew off her hand, so did her two wedding rings.  Everyone around Emma heard her panicked cry to stop, so they all froze and devised a plan to get the rings back. The rings sank deep into the water and hid in the sand as her friends and family dove and snorkeled around searching.

The day drew to a close, so the search was called off. Emma reluctantly left that beach praying for her rings, that they wouldn’t be found by a rogue treasure hunter.

Later that night, after researching metal detector rentals, Reddit told Emma to call the Ring Finders.

I got a call from Emma while at work. Emma described her tragic day to me. The news that Emma’s silver wedding rings were lost on CDA beach was alarming. I was off like a flash to gather my gear and head to the beach. After getting in the water and Emma giving me x and y axis for the drop zone, I began searching. The wind was whipping up the waves so high the water crested over my head. I kept the search going for two hours. After completing a wide seach area, I asked Emma for more areas to search. This question revealed some discriptive details that Emma’s brother in-law had noted. There were notches cut into the retaining wall for the beach where Emma sat. Her brother in-law had counted off 5.5 notches to the west and counted out 18 paces into the water where Emma was standing. I walked backwards as I kept my eyes on the 5th notch. About belly button high water, I got a repeatable 7 signal on my Equinox. It wasn’t a silver tone, but I dug it up anyways. As the sand fell through through the holes on my scoop, a diamond ring appeared.  While calling Emma over to confirm that I found her ring, I noticed the stamp in the ring said 18k. With a dreaded tone in my voice I said to Emma, « It’s not your ring it’s a gold ring ». As Emma returned to where she sat, I finished detecting up to the edge of the water. Thinking the ring I found was super valuable I called Emma over to keep a hold of it. As I handed her the ring, she exploded with emotion. « That’s my ring! » she said. I was shocked, so I asked her to show me the photo she had of the ring. It was a match. The silver color was what Emma was describing to me, not the metal the ring was made out of.  Determined, I knew the other ring was not far from the one I found. Keeping the same line, I walked backward into the water. I was in chest high water when my detector picked up a 7-8 signal . I shook out the sand to reveal a rusted bobby pin. As I removed it from the magnet in my scoop, I saw a shining object in the corner of the scoop. It was Emma’s other ring. I pumped my fist into the air to show Emma I had found it and walked quickly back to the edge of the shore. The news I found her rings reached back to the small family sun bathing on the beach, and they cheered as Emma and I walked off the beach.

This search tested my stamina, but the sharp details Emma’s brother in-law had recorded, gave hope. Hope mixed with prayers was the recipe that found these rings for Emma.

Margate NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I recently got a call from Sami and Mitch about a lost wedding band in Margate, NJ.
They had been enjoying a sunny day on the beach when disaster struck—Mitch’s wedding band disappeared.
The ring had only been on his finger for one month.
They searched the sand by hand but couldn’t find anything.
That’s when they reached out to me for help.

As a professional ring finder with a metal detector, I’ve recovered many lost rings across the Jersey Shore.
I met Sami and Mitch at the location where the ring was lost.
They explained exactly how and where it may have fallen off.
Details like that are essential when starting a metal detector search.

We narrowed the area down quickly and began scanning.
My metal detector can locate rings buried deep in the sand.
After a few careful sweeps, I heard the unmistakable sound.
I dug down gently—and there it was: Mitch’s lost wedding band.
It had settled several inches beneath the soft beach sand.

They were thrilled.
Big smiles, huge relief, and heartfelt thanks followed.
Returning that wedding band meant everything to them—and to me.

Helping couples recover lost wedding bands in Margate NJ is something I truly enjoy.
Every recovery is unique, and each one tells a story.
In this case, quick action helped us get the ring back fast.

Lost jewelry can sink quickly in soft sand, especially near the shoreline.
Time and tides don’t wait, so acting fast is key.
If you lose a ring, mark the area and call a professional.
The sooner you act, the better the chance of success.

Many beachgoers don’t realize how useful a metal detector can be.
It’s not about treasure hunting—it’s about helping people.
The look on someone’s face when their ring is found? Priceless.

If you’ve lost a ring in Margate NJ or anywhere on the Jersey Shore, don’t panic.
You don’t have to search alone or rent a metal detector.
Experienced ring finders know how to scan efficiently and spot buried rings quickly.

I’m always ready to help reunite people with their lost items.
From wedding bands to engagement rings, I’ve recovered them all.
And every time, it’s just as meaningful as the first.

Thanks again to Sami and Mitch for trusting me with their search.
I’m so glad I was able to return their lost wedding band.

Enjoy the rest of your summer—and keep that ring safe!
