While assembling a kite with his children, he lost his Platinum wedding band. He knew the area and had searched with a metal detector, and even went at night with a flashlight to search. I used my Minelab 3030 with a large coil. Found ring which had been stepped on and driven into ground in less than 20 minutes.
Received call to go to a volleyball court to locate a mens wedding band. Married for only 3 weeks. While playing his ring came off. Used my XP Deus and located ring in about 1 minute.
I was on the road last night about 9:20 PM when I received a call from Chelsey. She had lost her wedding band at the beach earlier in the day. She had gone surfing, and wisely took her ring off and left it in her beach bag. When she and her family were getting ready to leave she noticed that another piece of her jewelry had fallen from the bag. She then picked up her towel, and shook the sand from it, the ring was gone. I wasn’t far from the beach, and told her I could be there in 20 minutes, she needed more time, as she was at dinner with her family, so we arranged to meet at 10:15 PM at the beach.
I was waiting as Chelsey and her family rolled up. There was about 7 of them, and we all made our way down to the spot of the loss. Well it was dark now, which made it harder to judge landmarks, so we had to widen the search area. The other problem was that the tide was super high, and as I searched the water would come up and wipe out my grid lines, so I had to pay close attention to where I had already searched in order to cover the area correctly. Chelsey and her family also brought along lights, sifters and colanders to continue the search they had begun earlier. The humor entered into it for me as I looked around, yet I did not say anything until the ring was found, that it looked like a Paleontology convention as everyone was spread around on the sand with their lights and sifters delicately searching for Chelsey’s ring.
I searched for about an hour, moving further out, and closer to the water than they had told me, and could see at times that there was concern that I should be staying in the area they felt sure of, and I understand that feeling. I have been doing this long enough though to know that sometimes the ring isn’t always where the person thinks it is, so I usually persist, and work out of the box, or color outside of the lines so to speak. Well I decided to work much closer to the edge of the slope down to the water when I got a real good signal in the head phones. I dug, and in the scoop was Chelsey’s ring; 11:30 PM. I lifted it up, and was immediately stormed by the entire family, who lined up to give me a hug. WHAT GREAT JOY RESTORED! What a great opportunity to be a help; love it!

I had gotten back from finding Shane’s ring Friday when I received a text from Lucie who had lost her ring 5 days earlier at the beach. I let her know that I would meet her for the search, but that the time element (5 days) was going to diminish the possibility of a recovery. She had been watching a volleyball game and had removed the ring in order to apply sunscreen to her children, and when the bag it was in was lifted the ring was gone. It took a while to find someone to help, but she needed help and called; I was on my way.
I got to court, and Lucie was there with her two small children, she showed me the spot where she had been sitting on the towel, and she turned to pay attention to the children. I turned on my machine, and made two passes with it, when I got that sound in the head phones, put in the scoop, and there was her ring. I pulled it out to walk over and show her, just as her husband who had just arrived from work walked up; lots of joy. Lucie was so happy, I got a hug and kiss on the cheek, and a wonderful smile to share with the world, another great day!

Last Friday I woke up early to go surfing, the waves had been real good, and it had been a while since I had been. I looked at my phone and noticed I had an email. I opened it and there was an email from Shane who had lost his wedding ring the day before, which had been sent at 1:00 AM. Well scratch the surfing, I had someone to help. I knew that an email sent that early in the morning meant someone who was having a hard time for sleep, and seeking any way to get the ring back. I answered his email, and he got back with me not long after. He explained that he had been playing Frisbee, and believed the ring came off when he threw the disk. We arranged to meet at the beach, and I was on my way.
When I got to the beach, I met Shane, and he took me out to the area where the loss occurred. I could see that he had made grid marks in the area he remembered. We discussed what had happened, and I set out some cones to mark a beginning grid (the area was pretty big). I began to search. I went over the entire coned off area, no ring. I then widened the search to overlap Shane’s own grid marks, no ring. I then went out of the grid area quite a bit thinking that his throwing action might have been a little more severe than he believed it was, no ring. I got with him again, was there anything you might have done to have lost the ring? He told me he had been with the children digging on the slope, sounded likely, searched the slope, no ring. Enter now Shane’s mother, she got with him to explain that she thought he was playing Frisbee even more out of the area we had been searching, so we decided to do a search in the place she recommended. After about 3 passes and 3 and 1/2 hours of total searching, my head phones exploded in sound, I dug, and in the scoop was color, pure color. I put it on my index finger so that when turned to face Shane it would be the first thing he saw. When he did a great big smile came on his face as he exclaimed « I can’t believe it ». Everyone else around came up and wanted to see the ring, which turned out to be 22 karat, or almost pure gold, that had been hand carved in wax by his bride to be, to be poured and finished as her token of her love for him.
Shane and his wife had just celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary just 14 days before, so this recovery meant so much more, WOW this was fun. So much joy this day, flowing in the sands of Newport Beach. What a great day, love it!

THE LITTLE THINGS CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT TOO
We got a desperate call from a woman whose church group had helped organize a concert here on the Big Island – and one of the church’s parishioners had lent his car to the concert’s head performer.
The performer had a few hours to kill before his first concert so went to one of our local beaches. As he went back to get ready for his first performance, he suddenly realized his key – and the only key to the car – had been lost in the sand.
He looked for the lost key and finally had to ask to be picked up or miss the concert!
Some of the church members went to the beach the next morning to search for the key with rakes, carefully combing the sand in the area the musician had been.
After three hours they looked online and we got the call – and went immediately to the beach to join them in the hunt.
The site where the key was lost was quite small and had been scoured with rake marks. I searched the area for about 15 minutes with my Excalibur II metal detector, finding wire, fishing weights – and then hit a big target in the sand.
The car key materialized in my scoop as the sand strained out of it. 
A key is such a small thing, but finding it saved the congregation from having to hire a tow truck to come to this remote spot and re-key the ignition.
We were happy to help – and remembered that sometimes the most valuable things are often what seem of least value – until they’re not!

Received a call last night for a lost gold chain. It was obvious that this piece had extreme sentimental value attached to it. Met with the client first thing this morning and headed onto the beach where he had been setup the previous day. After about 15 minutes and about 3 passes I picked up the signal I was looking for. Client was very happy and I was very happy to be able to reunite him with his missing chain.
Clients review of service: « Padraic Aversa– I’d like to thank you again Jeff for coming out again this morning after working overnight. The outcome had me speechless and extremely grateful »
Received a call this past Thurdsay morning for a lost wedding ring set. The rings were dropped sometime Wednesday and after the owner and her family searched yesterday they came up empty handed. So took the ride over this morning and met up with the owner and after about an hour or so searching out popped two gold beauties!
Clients review of service: « Amy Bullock Jones-I highly recommend giving Jeff a call if you are ever in the unfortunate situation of losing a ring(s) or other valuable item on the beach! I lost both of my rings (wedding band and engagement ring) yesterday after taking them off to apply sunscreen….after which I got distracted with five 13 year old girls. I didn’t even realize until later that night that they were missing. After searching every possible bag and beach chair pocket I was certain they were on the beach. The next morning I found Jeff through an internet search thinking I should at least give it a try. Jeff showed up within 1/2 hour of my phone call and went above and beyond to search the entire area I pointed out I thought we were around, and the area we exited the beach. I was absolutely amazed he found them both!! Thank you so much to Jeff for his quick response, extra effort to make sure he covered all areas, and a great result!! Thank you! »
I was on my way home from doing an interview for a local news station about The Ring Finders when I received a call from Brian. Brian was visiting from Charlotte with his family and he wasn’t sounding real happy! He said his little brother, Maury had been doing a little late evening partying on the beach and had their mother’s car and other keys. Partying with keys on the beach late at night usually doesn’t end well as it was in this case. I got the location and headed in his direction.
I got there in about 20 minutes and got to meet Maury who was keeping a real low profile. It was either because of the partying last night or because he had a whole family pretty upset with him! It was more likely the latter because the family, at least 7 of them, was going to have to fit into 1 car with all the luggage and drive four plus hours back to Charlotte to get the spare set of keys. Then a couple of them turn back around, drive back to North Myrtle Beach get the 2nd car and drive back to Charlotte. I had to get this young man out of the dog house. Luckily mom (Saundra) pretty much knew the area the keys were lost in because the family had been out trying to sift through the sand with their hands to find the keys. I made about 4 passes on my grid search and got a big signal, too big and too deep for the loss keys. Dug it out and I believe it was one of Maury’s “beverage” cans. I ran my coil over and next to the hole and got another signal, one scoop and there they were. I held the keys up for Saundra to see and I think she did a little dance. I know Maury was feeling much better and probably relieved he would get to be inside the car on the ride home.
Saundra and Brian, it was great meeting you and your family today, you’re an awesome bunch!!! Maury good luck to you buddy. Take this as a “good” lessons learned and stay out of trouble. You all have a safe trip home and thank you so much for trusting in me to help find your keys.
