A Journey Under the Deck…

..was not what Kristina had planned for her journey pendant when it snapped off her chain as her dog jumped up on her. She looked around and found her cross pendant that was with it and thought her journey pendant wasn’t too far. The pendant was sentimental and a gift from her mom. The straight design of it has been a talisman through life in her past to help overcome any obstacle including where the pendant may be in the present time. I had just enough space under the deck to scan with my metal detector. I got a faint signal and was able to reach thru the leaves and debris. Feeling the shape of the pendant at my fingertips, I slowly drew my arm back from under the deck. Recovering the pendant brought tears to her eyes. Although the journey had an unexpected twist, staying hopeful was her mindset and served as a reminder that any future journeys may not be as straight as expected.

Lost Tungsten Ring w/ Gold Accent Found in Oak Park Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Scoop The Goop….

Was the last chore of the day for Preston at his new house. Climbing the ladder, he reached the leaves on the roof and gutters full of goop and began flinging it to the ground. His wife assisted by raking it out to the street. With darkness encroaching, he finally completed the task. Back on the ground he took off his gloves and went into the house for the night. Immediately upon sitting down he noticed his ring missing. Rushing out in the dark to search brought no luck. Feeling totally drained and down the gutter he wondered where it was…in the street? in a gutter?..and having changed gloves often, what side of the house was the ring on? The next morning, I started my search and checked the piles of leaves in the street with my MXT metal detector. No signals came from that, so I grid searched towards the house on the side Preston remembered having the ring on last. Again, nothing signaled thru on the detector, so I searched a bit further out in the area where Preston had laid the ladder down to retract it. Suddenly a huge signal rang in my headphones. Reaching down thru the neighbor’s leaves revealed Preston’s handsome hammered Tungsten ring! I waved him over and when he saw it, I saw all the tension drain away from the situation. Totally pleased he asked what made me check in the neighbor’s yard? I answered, I just go with the flow!

Lost Yellow Gold and Diamonds Wedding & Engagement Rings at Paradise Cove Lagoon…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began Sunday November 16th when I received a text that said, « Hi! Do you find lost rings near the Ko Olina Resort? »  I of course said yes and was then connected to Ericka who was on vacation from Beaumont, California and had lost her Yellow Gold and Diamonds Wedding & Engagement Rings at Ko Olina Resort.  Ericka had been in Lagoon 3 and Paradise Cove but didn’t realize until the end of the day that her two rings had gone missing.  She initially thought the most likely place would have been shallow water of Lagoon 3.  After a thorough search, I came up empty handed.  Using a little detective work Ericka was able to see that in some of the videos they took the ring was on her finger at Secret Beach but not at Paradise Cove Beach.  They had transited to Paradise Cove Beach via the water path between the two beaches.  So on Wednesday November 19th I went to Paradise Cove Beach to start the hunt.  Everything was going great.  I even found another small gold band then a huge Hawaiian Monk Seal decided to park on the beach.  Hawaii statute requires everyone to give them their distance and not bother their refuge.  She wasn’t going to move anytime soon so I aborted the hunt and decided to hunt the next day.  When I arrived,  there were three Monk Seals on the beach, but thankfully, they were far enough away for me to finish the remainder of the search area.  About 10 minutes into the search I got a really nice tone on the Manticore.  After two scoops I found the Yellow Gold Wedding band.  I heard another nice target and after another scoop the Yellow Gold and Diamonds Engagement  ring was in the scoop.  I looked skyward and said, « Thank You Jesus! »  I went back to my car and texted Ericka the great news.  She was obviously ecstatic.  Ericka received her rings today in the mail.  Its going to be a Happy Thanksgiving!  Aloha to Ericka!

Lost Yellow Gold Wedding Band at Four Seasons Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Aloha Security for a guest named Alex at the Four Seasons Hotel.  Alex was on vacation with his family and not wanting to lose his Yellow Gold Wedding Ring had his daughter hold it while he swam in the lagoon.  When he came back his daughter in the next lounge chair over gently tossed his ring back to her father but it dropped into the soft dry sand and disappeared.  No matter how hard they tried sifting the sand the ring could not be found.  I told Alex I had to finish up a chore then would head out to the resort.  When I arrived Alex met me on the walkway to Four Seasons and took me to the area in the chairs the ring was lost.  We moved some metal chairs and tables out of the way and I started the hunt with the Excalibur 2.  This area of the resort has tremendous EMI and the Excal works really well in that environment.  There was an umbrella pole going into the ground and I was getting a loud low tone very close to it.  I took one scoop and the tone was still there.  Second scoop, « BINGO »  Yellow Gold Wedding Ring in the scoop.  Alex was obviously relieved and very thankful.  He even invited me to the outdoor bar for a cold beer which I thoroughly enjoyed along with his conversation and hospitality.  Aloha to Alex!

How to find lost keys in your car, Titusville, Florida!

Contact:



Contact me for all your metal detecting and recovery needs! My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029. On land, in the water, the grass, sand, in cars, in homes…rings, keys, chains, phones, property markers, etc…

Eileen called me and asked if I could help her find a lost Mercedes Benz vehicle fob/key and she was quite sure it was somewhere in one of two cars. Apparently she had unloaded some things from one car to another and in the process she misplaced the only fob/key that she had for her older Mercedes. She looked numerous times through the car, her purse, the trunk, under the seats and everywhere she could possibly imagine…but she could not find her lost key. When she called me I could hear the stress and discouragement in her voice and I assured her I would come out and conduct a thorough search of both vehicles. I arrived Saturday morning and got right to work going through both cars with a fine tooth comb and my extra strong flashlight. After 40 minutes…NOTHING! Eileen thought that maybe someone walked by while she was moving things back and forth and possibly picked her key up off of the ground. Or maybe a crow picked it up and flew off with it! As a final effort was made to locate her lost key I sat in her older vehicles driver seat and reached up and moved the double sun visors that covered the front window and I noticed something moved…right where the two visors overlap…and sure enough there was her fob…nestled down between the two visors. The fob/key was hidden in the perfect hiding place…not visible from either side! Eileen was over joyed and how I thank God for helping me to be able to find her lost key!

Found Ring of Iron? Not all Gold is jewelry!

  • from Orange (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Richard today at lunchtime, while I was at work. He needed my help finding a …..Pipe!  Hmmm I thought, okay, I can do that!
He had purchased an old house with a Guest house in the back, as well, and he and his wife are restoring it. This past week we had three days of heavy rain here in California, and he noticed water in his back house basement coming from an electrical box!  Upon investigation he found that there was a pipe leading from the main house, to the back house under the concrete patio, across the lawn and under a concrete walkway into the corner of the basement!

Over 3 days, he captured 10 Gallons of water into buckets, and needed to find where this pipe was so he could repair it.
His contractor told him it would be about $3,000 to break up the concrete to find it and remove/replace it as it was likely metal pipe being such an old home.
Richard had a pretty good idea where he thought it came under the patio, but after probing down several inches witout finding it, he had a friend tell him about TheRingFinders.com so he called me.

I told him I could come out after work, and he was delighted. Grabbing my warm clothes, headlamp (because it is dark out now at 6:30PM), my Equinox 800 with large coil, and a handfull of White Golf Tee’s, I headed out to Whittier, about a 45 minute drive.
I started searching and listening for the Iron Grunt low sounds, I found a good repeatable spot and placed a Golf Tee in the grass. I continued across the yard, and kept placing Golf Tee’s and as you can guess, a straight line emerged pretty fast. All the way to the Concrete walkway just about where he expected it!
He grabbed a small shovel and began to dig, but could not get deep enough. I used my pinpointer, and there was tone for sure. I dug around deeper and soon hit rusty dirt, then paydirt! There was the pipe, and old 1″ Iron pipe, but we also uncovered a PVC Sprinkler pipe shallower so it was good to not have hit that!

The pipe was about a foot deep, not several inches like he had expected.
He was so happy, and while not a Book of Smiles Ring, a big smile for a ring of Iron pipe and thousands saved!
Thanks Richard for using TheRingFinders.com

Ring found on Carmel By The Sea Beach

  • from Carmel-by-the-Sea (California, United States)
Contact:

It was a very dark night on the windswept Carmel Main when I got the call, and although we had a bit of a language barrier, I was able to make out « Sunset, ring, lost, beach, Carmel, help, you have machine. » I grabbed my detector, scoop and all-important headlamp and headed out to the beach. The young couple from Italy had been enjoying an iconic California sunset, and as darkness fell, the young guy, wiping sand off his shorts, wiped his wedding band right off his hand, and right down a sandy slope. They wisely marked the spot they were at with a backpack, and so when I found them in my headlamps beam, I turned on my machine and I got to work. I swept in concentric circles from the backpack spot for about twenty minutes, chatting about how much I liked Italy when I visited as a teen. Unfortunately, we found nothing but aluminum pull tabs. Things looked grim. I figured maybe the ring flew farther than they surmised, and maybe some unlucky foot traffic also slid the ring down hill. I worked my way down slope and eventually, I did get a « faint 11 » on my Equinox. Sadly, after three or four attempts, the signal disappeared. I walked back up the slope, and asked the young lady if there happened to be anything shiny in my scoop, she reached in and pulled out their white gold wedding band held it up and cheered. Disaster averted, and I got a huge hug from her, than one from the guy too! He gave me some « American Dollars » as a reward, and I even got an invite to Italy!  I was happy to send the now much happier couple off to Morro Bay, to continue their vacation!

Women’s Engagement Ring Lost in Athens, Alabama… FOUND!

  • 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 at 610-504-6135.

On Friday (November 14, 2025) evening I received a call from Stacey stating a few days prior she had lost her engagement ring while walking down the back porch.  It was cold and she was trying to put on her ring while holding her son.  The ring caught on her fingernail and flew off.  She heard it hit some leaves in the yard.  It was at night, so it was dark out and she couldn’t tell exactly where it went.  We set up a search for the next morning.

I met Stacey around 9:30 Saturday morning in Athens, Alabama.  Stacey showed me exactly how it happened.  Her husband, Victor told me the ring is sterling silver.  I grabbed my Minelab Equinox 900 and started my search.  After a few minutes, a little further from the porch and behind a tarp, I saw Stacey’s ring on the ground!  Stacey and Victor were very happy and thankful to have it back.  Stacey told me that she had searched that area, but there were a lot of leaves, so I’m sure it was completely covered up when they were looking.

Thankful and blessed for another successful recovery!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless…

Lost — 14 kt gold engagement ring with diamond – Samsula, Fl, — FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Just as my wife and I pulled into our favorite taco place on Friday, my phone buzzed. It was Diago. His voice was somewhat desperate—he’d lost his girlfriend’s engagement ring, and he needed help.  He and some friends tried to locate it but it was hopeless.

We’d barely parked, the restaurant still minutes from reopening at 5, but I knew the sun was slipping fast thanks to the time change.  So, we left.  As we did, I prayed for God’s favor.

I met Diago at a roadside bar & grille. He pointed out exact the spot where the ring had flown from his hand. It vanished into a patch of tangled grass—short blades, long tufts, and a gloomy drainage ditch. His fiancée, he said, had been in tears.

I fired up my Minelab Manticore, and instantly the machine chattered incessantly – bottle caps, pull tabs, scraps of who-knows-what.  I adjusted my settings, grabbed my pinpointer, and pushed into the grass as daylight drained away.

As darkness enveloped us, I swept every inch of the suspected area, the detector humming, my hopes slipping with the sun. Eventually, I had to turn to Diago and tell him the last thing he wanted to hear: I’d be back at sunrise.

Praying again, I arrived before dawn the next morning. The grass heavy with dew. I started scanning in a slow grid, determined not to miss a thing.  Then—a clean, bright tone!

I dropped to my knees, brushed aside a patch of grass, and there it was: a beautiful gold ring nestled so perfectly in the blades that anyone without a detector would’ve walked past it a hundred times.  God is good!

Later that day I placed the ring back into the hands of an overjoyed couple.

If you’ve lost a ring, keys, or even your phone—whether at the beach or in your backyard—don’t give up hope. Call Detector Ed at 757-419-0299. I’m available day or night. Call or text me as soon as possible—and please, don’t post about it on social media!

Lost wedding ring while doing yard work, Winter Garden, Florida, found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:


Call an experienced professional metal detectorist for help locating a lost ring in the sand, at the park or in your yard…Mike McInroe with theringfinders.com is here to help you! Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Zack could not find his wedding ring and tried looking with a rented metal detector and still come up empty handed. He was 99% sure he lost it in his yard somewhere while doing yard work earlier that day. He had planted some small ornamental bushes and laid down new mulch and even had about 10 medium bags of left over dirt that he wanted to dispose of later but the thought of his ring being out in his yard somewhere made him quite anxious. Later that evening Zack went online and found theringfinders.com and gave me a call. I met him the next day and decided to start my search exactly where he started working the day before. His yard and newly planted bushes were neat and tidy and as I moved on to the 2nd area I noticed he had laid out the bags of extra dirt on the brick driveway so I decided to scan them. Each bag was tied up and on the last bag I got a faint signal. I flipped the bag over and immediately got a solid gold like signal and it was only a matter of sticking my pin pointer into the dirt and the picture shows what was hidden inside. Zack was thrilled and could not believe what just happened.

How can I help you find something that you lost? Call or text me at 321-363-6029 today!
