Lost – Diamond Engagement Ring and Wedding Band, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

Tuesday, I got a FB text from Thomas.  He said that he and his wife, Madelyn had been to New Smyrna Beach.  During the trip their wedding ring set had been put on the beach towel.  When they packed up to leave, the beach towel was picked up and the rings went flying.

I told him that I would go right down to look.  As I drove along, I whispered a quiet prayer, « Please God, help me find these rings. »

When I arrived, I began gridding in the 95-degree heat with my Minelab Manticore.  Thomas had been very exact about their location, but I found no rings.  I was about to give up, having covered the entire area multiple times finding only trash items and coins.

Just then, a car that had been there the entire time pulled out.  I quickly, ran over and got an immediate hit.  It was a ring with a big, beautiful diamond!!  Only, a foot away, another beautiful diamond ring!  Thank you God!

Later that week the wedding set was returned to the happy owners.

Lost Fancy Silver Ring at 4 Seasons Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began while I was on a Friday afternoon hunt at 4 Seasons lagoon.  Marissa & her father on vacation from South  Carolina approached me and the look on their face was « Can you help? »  I asked did you lose something and Marissa said she did a Fancy silver ring in the shallow water of the lagoon.  They pointed out the area and I began the search.  After about 20 minutes with no recovery they said « thanks for trying. »  I was like, « no hang on the beast isn’t going to miss a silver ring! »  I expanded out the grid search towards the South and on that line I got a screaming high tone and in one scoop there was Marissa’s Fancy Silver ring in the scoop.  Marissa came over and said « can I hug you and thank you so very much. »  Another vacation back on track.  Aloha to Marissa!

Lost Huge Gold Diamond Ring Found in Grandbury Texas!!!

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)

Paxton called me Wednesday 5/28/25 asking if I could help in locating his lost wife’s huge gold and diamond ring. After a few questions about the areas I agreed to come out on Friday 5/30/25.

My son and I arrived on Friday and started to search the sloping rocky backyard. After about 10 minutes I located a gold band that was not their ring. At about 30 minutes into the search I got a very good signal right by where my son had already searched and found a couple of nails and moved on. Well this signal was the ring right under the surface in the dirt. Paxton did not want a picture taken so that is yours truly with the Rock!! Thank you Paxton for the very generous reward.

Call or Text Stan the Metal Detector Man for reliable metal detecting help anywhere in Southern California .. Beaches, Parks, Yards, Water, Homes or Cars.. 949-500-2136


*** Jordan called me after leaving Dog Beach at Huntington City Beach, CA. After the family left the beach, his wife realized her phone was missing. They were already at a resturant and could not meet me at the general location until later.

I told him it wasn’t necessary to meet me at the location if he could send GPS co-ordinates of where they had taken photos.

He sent me the GPS co-ordinate numbers and I was able to get to the location to find the cellphone under 4-5” under the sand.

They were still at the resturant when I called him, so I suggested it would be easy for me to deliver the iPhone to him at the resturant.

When I met Jordan he told me I saved their vacation as they would be returning to Utah next week. He was a little camera shy so you have to see my smile.

Im avalailabe to help you soometimesv you do not have to be present for me to do the search.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. STAN ..949-500-2136

Lost Ring Central Park NYC… Found!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
🌳💍 The Central Park Ring
Toss 💍🌳
Recently, a man in Central Park managed what we can
only describe as a one-in-a-million shot—and not in a
good way. 😅
While enjoying the day near the Conservatory Garden,
his ring was somehow launched (yes, launched) into
the bushes. But not just any bush—this ring stuck the
landing dead center in a shrub with a perfect circle of
shoots at its base. Think of it like a natural leafy
prison… and the ring was locked inside.
Enter Greenwood Detecting—and shoutout to Ed
Trapper for tipping us off about this mystery! 👏
Armed with a trusty detector and a pinpointer, we
carefully scanned, probed, and dodged some overly
enthusiastic squirrels. After a tense half hour and a
LOT of leafy rustling, there it was—the ring, perfectly
wedged in the center of its shoot-jail hideout.
🎯 Score one for the good guys.
✅ Ring recovered.
🌿 Shrub undisturbed.
🤯 Physics-defying ring toss? Still under investigation.
Whether it’s a backyard or the middle of Manhattan, if
your jewelry takes an unexpected detour, Greenwood
Detecting is here to bring it back.

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

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

Shortly after 9:30 a.m., I received a call from an Alabama phone number. Sam was on the other end and asked if I could help him find his wedding band. He said he was brushing the sand off of his hands and felt his ring come off. He said he saw it land in the dry sand and disappear. He also said that he tried looking for it but couldn’t find it. I was getting a wheel bearing replaced at the time and told him as soon as it’s done, I’d be on my way. I also suggested that he quit digging because he’d either bury it more or possibly move it. I called him back within 30 minutes and told him I was on my way and to send me the address, which he did.

When I arrived at the hotel and parked, Sam met me as I walked off the elevator. He walked me out to the beach and showed me the maybe 5×5 ft area. These are the type of searches we hope for. He told me the ring was a white gold wedding band. So, I knew I was looking for a low teen number on the Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I turned the machine on, took one swing and hit a solid shallow signal showing a 14 on the VDI, Boom!!!! Because I was moving the target with the scoop, trying to take shallow scoops, it took me 3 scoops to get the ring out of the sand. But I got it! Handed the ring back to Sam, who quickly put it back on his finger where it belonged.

Sam – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip back home.

Conner was taking a short cut home one rainy dark night. This was one of the steepest hills I’ve done a recovery on. He lost his footing, slipped and fell. When he regained himself he noticed his finger felt naked. Yep his platinum wedding ring of 1 year was missing. He figured it just went missing when he fell but he wasn’t 💯 sure. They searched for days and even rented a metal detector. He then turned to the internet where he found the ring finders site. He showed me the area and the rest is history. The video shows just how extreme the area was. It was my honor to recover such a sentimental item for him.

Finding a Small Gold Wedding Band at Rosie’s Dog Beach, Belmont Shores, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

** Mathew was at Rosie’s Dog Beach, Belmont Shores, California with his friends. His friend’s wife lost a small plain gold wedding band near where they were sitting. She didn’t feel it come off, but they had not left the area before noticing the ring missing from her finger.

After exhaustive searching with their hands, Mathew contacted me asking for help. I met them soon after the call and was able to find the small ring for them. It was a bit difficult as I missed it on the first north / south grid of 50’x50’. It showed up on the east/west grid. They were about to give up when it didn’t show up on the first grid. It was a happy moment for all and I really like it when friends can do favors by searching the internet for a ringfinder.

It was a hot and busy afternoon in beautiful Sea Isle City, NJ when I got a call from someone who had just lost a gold ring in the sand. It had slipped off unnoticed while they were enjoying the beach, and despite their best efforts, they couldn’t locate it.

 

I grabbed my gear and made it to the beach in about 30 minutes. After arriving, I moved a few chairs around, scanned the area, and got to work. Just a few minutes into the search, I heard the signal I was waiting for — and there it was: the missing gold ring!

 

The owner was beyond relieved and thrilled to have it back. With the ring recovered, she was finally able to relax and enjoy the rest of her day worry-free on the shore.

White Gold Wedding Band and Engagement Ring, Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned in Myrtle Beach SC

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

A little after 6:30 p.m., I received a text from Maryline that said, “Hello, I found your contact on the internet to help find lost rings. Lost mine today on Myrtle Beach. I’m wondering if you could please help out.” I asked her to call me so I could get the details. When she called, I learned she had lost her rings in the soft sand, and she could put me in the general area. I asked her to text me the address and was on my way.

On the way there, I got another text from her saying, “We are checking some pictures we took, and it seems like it could have fallen on the wet sand or the sea.” Uh-oh, I’m thinking we may have a problem if the rings were lost in the water. We were just coming off of high tide; so I might not be able to reach them. I called her to verify the time. She said one of the pictures showing the rings, while holding her baby in the surf, was about 4:30. Ok, that was about an hour before high tide. So, things were looking good again, the tide had turned, and it was getting close to an hour after high tide.

I met Maryline in the parking lot of the resort and we walked a couple of blocks to the beach. She walked me out on the beach and showed me where they had been sitting. She then took me down towards the water and showed me the general area where she was sitting with her baby. I started a north/south grid line about ankle deep with plans to work up the slope towards the dry sand. My thought was that if she was sitting in the surf and had put her hands in the wet sand, her rings would come right off her finger. I was probably three quarters of the way up the slope and hit a solid 6 on the VDI (visual display indicator), which is exactly what I was expecting for a white gold ring. A couple of inches away I was picking up an 8 on the VDI, again what I’d expect for a little bigger white gold ring. I took a scoop of wet sand and dumped it on the beach. I immediately saw her small wedding band. Boom!! I held it up and Maryline came running, jumping and screaming to get her ring. Now to get the engagement ring out of its hiding place in the sand. Unfortunately, the waves were filling up the hole with water and sand, burying the engagement ring. Suddenly, I wasn’t picking up the engagement ring on the detector. I think the ring got turned on its side and my detection area was now very small. So basically, I was digging blind and pulling up big scoops of sand. I finally pulled up a scoop and before I could run the detector over it, Maryline’s brother-in-law, TD saw it and reached down in the ball of sand and pulled it out. Maryline started jumping up and down and she got so excited that another couple came to see what was going on. Finding people’s lost items and handing it back to them never gets old.

TD – Thanks for your help!

Maryline – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasures.
