Small Platinum Wedding Ring Found at Balboa Pier Beach and Returned to Owner

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)


If you need a metal detector expert to help you, Call or Text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man ..949-500-2136

*** I was parked at Newport Beach pier eating lunch in my car, when I received a call from Hau. His wife had dropped her Platinum wedding band in the sand at Balboa Beach two miles away from where I was parked.

He told me they had been searching the sand for almost two hours with no success. I always have my detector in my car, so I could meet them in 15 minutes.  I didn’t need to ask very many questions after they said it was in a small area where they were sitting.

I  drove directly to a parking space less than 25 yards from where they waited for me. It was another quick recovery, probably less than 10 minutes after turning on my metal detector.

They were very happy to have the ring recovered. Hau said, he was impressed at how fast I was able to get to his location. It’s not always like that, in the summer it can take as long as an hour just to find a parking place.

Don’t waste time, call ASAP.. I’m available to answer your questions .. We can usually tell if your loss can be found with my equipment. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”

The Cross in the Sand Brigantine NJ

Juan had been looking forward to his weekend at Brigantine Beach for weeks. The sun was high, the ocean breeze perfect, and the wide stretch of sand made for the ultimate soccer field. With friends visiting from out of town, he kicked off his sandals and joined a fast-paced game near the dunes, laughter and shouts blending with the rhythm of the crashing waves.

But after a slide tackle into the soft sand, Juan sat up with a sinking feeling. He reached for his chest instinctively—his gold cross was gone.

The game came to a stop as everyone joined in the search, scanning the golden grains around the makeshift soccer area. Minutes stretched into an hour. Juan’s heart ached; he had worn that cross every day since he was young. It wasn’t about the gold—it was what it represented.

Defeated, with the joy of the day slipping away. That’s when someone nearby mentioned Ring Finders South Jersey—that John specialized in finding lost items on the beach using metal detectors. With nothing to lose, Juan made the call.

Within the hour, John with his metal detector in hand. Juan showed him the general area, and the search began. The beeping of the detector was like a heartbeat of hope.

Forty-five minutes later, the cross was found in the sand in Brigantine, NJ.

Lost family heirloom diamond earring found in Hendersonville, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

Client Justin reached out to me on 04-22-2025 regarding a lost family heirloom. He explained that his wife was wearing the diamond and silver earrings that she inherited from her now-deceased aunt, and one of them came off as they were walking home from a nearby neighbor’s Easter party in Hendersonville, TN. They were able to find the backing to the earring as well as the outer ring with tiny little diamonds, but could not find the much larger center diamond that was affixed to the sterling silver post. Justin said everyone from the party even came over to the grass covered curb strip and got on their hands and knees to help search, but they couldn’t find the earring. Justin and his wife said I was their last hope in finding the very special earring that had so much sentimental value. No pressure there, but I was ready for the challenge. Justin had the matching earring for me to swing my coil over and see what the target ID came up as, but honestly it was not a strong repeatable signal. Underground power lines may have caused some interference. I did forget to start my stop watch, but after about fifteen to twenty minutes I got the signal I was hoping for. The Bermuda grass on the curb strip had that earring hidden quite well, with the tip of the post pointing straight up and the diamond resting on the soil. Justin and his wife were elated to have the earring back, and said they were going to get screw on backings before the earrings can be worn again. It was a happy ending to the story of the lost diamond earring, and I’m honored to have a roll in the story.

Lost platinum wedding ring lost in Brentwood, TN found with metal detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

I was contacted by a client, we’ll call him “Mr. Charles,” on 04-21-2025 at about 9:30 in the morning regarding a lost ring. I met with Mr. Charles at his beautiful Brentwood, TN home less than an hour later. He had lost his platinum wedding band in his back yard while working on a project. Although the back yard was quite expansive, he was able to narrow the search area because he remembered the areas he had been and just as importantly, where he hadn’t been. I started the stop watch function on my phone and began the search. In just under forty minutes I got the audible signal on my metal detector. The ring was completely concealed in the lush green grass, but there was no hiding from my “magic beep stick.” Mr. Charles only agreed to having his picture taken if I made him unrecognizable, hence then smiley face emoji.

Lost Cell Phone Found in Valencia

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Lost Your Ring, Keys, or Phone in Valencia, Newhall, or Santa Clarita? Call Dave The Ring Finder!
This afternoon, I connected with Ryan, whose son lost his cell phone after a fun family day at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia. They had pulled over on their way home to stretch, somewhere near Newhall or Santa Clarita, but Ryan wasn’t sure of the exact spot. With Ryan now three hours away, I headed out to search without my metal detector—just using my eyes and determination.
The area near Santa Clarita was large, and the kids had been running around, so I began gridding the site.

After several passes, it was clear the phone wasn’t where Ryan thought. Thinking it might have been placed on the car and fallen off, I searched along the roadside. Sure enough, just three feet from traffic in the Santa Clarita dirt, I found the phone! A bit dusty but fully functional, it was lucky no one ran it over.
Since Ryan was out of town, I mailed the phone back from a local Valencia post office. As any parent knows, kids need their phones!

LOST PLATNIUM ENGAGEMENT RING IN CAMDEN, SC…..FOUND!!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call Wednesday from a gentleman who’s wife had lost her engagement ring while they were out fishing.

They had rented a boat to enjoy spending some quality time fishing together. Just before they were to be putting things away to start heading back, She caought a big catfish and lost her engagement ring mins after the photo was taken. She actually had lost both wedding and engagement but the wedding ring fell in the boat while the engagement feel in about 3-4 feet of water. He tried jumping into the cold water to see if he could save his wife’s ring but sadly with no success. She was understandablly so upset and have been crying.

Thats where I come into the picture. I had to prepare my boat, get my gear ready as I had to plan for a 2.5 hour drive 1-way along with having to cross from the boat ramp side to the other side of the lake to the spot where she lost the ring.

I arrived at 10:00 am, he arrived at about 10:40 and we made the boat ride to the other side. We started where he was pretty confident where she lost it. After a few pulltabs, can pieces, and 2 hours later, I get a good signal that sounds right on top as it should be! After a few scoops I see a platinum diamond ring in the basket!!! By 12:30 ish the ring had been returned. Had to wait for him to get home before he could take a picture of his wife and her happiness!

He told me, “This was so worth it to help my wife stop crying!”

I love helping people find their lost priceless items!!

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Media, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Ron texted me after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. He was doing some yard work at his home in Media, PA when his 45 year old gold wedding band slipped off his finger. He was 85% sure it fell off in his backyard. He had searched himself for 2-3 hours before calling a professional. I agreed to meet him the next day and upon my arrival he walked me through the area where he thought in fell off. A gold wedding band on the surface has a very unique signal…I also have the ability to zero in my machine on just gold signals. It was quite a large search area…but I started in the area where he spent the most time. 3-4 minutes into the search I received the signal I was hoping for…looked down…and there was his beautiful gold wedding band shining up at me!!! I called Ron  over and to say he was amazed and happy would be an understatement! I was so happy I was able to get his ring back on his finger!!!

 

IPhone 16 Lost in the Ocean, Recovered and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This recovery started on Saturday night about 9 pm when I received the following text. “Hi! My girlfriend lost her phone during a walk on the sand bar during low tide about an hour ago between 16th and 13th street in North Myrtle. The tide started coming in, so we had to limit our search to 10 minutes. We’re wondering if you’d be able to help us look for it during low tide in the morning. We know approximately where it was dropped. I know tomorrow is Easter, but please let us know if you are available.” I called the number attached to the text and talked with Maria, who lost the phone. First, I wanted to confirm the location, as to whether it was a North or South Ave in North Myrtle Beach. I also wanted to get some more details. Maria told me that her and her boyfriend, Joe, were walking on the sand bars and at some point, the phone came out of her pocket. When she confirmed she lost the phone on the side south, I decided to take a ride and look at the parking situation. I ended up stopping by the condo they were at and got to meet them. I learned the last location she was able to get from the phone was between 14th and 15th Ave South. She also told me again about walking on the sand bars and at one point she was on her hands and knees trying to feel for the phone in the water.

Today, Easter Sunday, I was on the beach at 6 am working the water between the sand bar and the beach. I ran into Maria and Joe around 6:30 as I was searching. I had misunderstood Maria and thought she lost the phone between the sand bars and the beach. She had actually lost it going through inlets between sand bars. I also thought and told her, that I suspected the phone would be lying on the bottom. The sand was hard packed, and I didn’t think the phone would settle in the sand, was proved wrong on that assumption. So, Maria got me squared away on where she thought the phone might be. I started checking the inlets between the sand bars and on the 3rd inlet I hit a strong target. I dug 3 full scoops of sand before I got the target out of the hole.  I had to be careful that if this was the phone, I didn’t want to break it with the scoop. As I pulled out the 3rd scoop of sand, I saw the red and white checkered case hanging out about an inch from between the sand. Maria saw it about the same time and reached down and pulled it out from the sand scoop. She was so excited. I’ve heard the newer I Phones are waterproof, and I guess they are. This one had been in the ocean, buried in sand for almost 12 hours and it turned right on, and she was able to call Joe’s phone. Vacation, her pictures and Easter Sunday all saved!!

Maria – Thank you for trusting me to help find your phone. Wish you and Joe all the best and enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Lost Gold Ring Found in Troy Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Hoppy Endings….

While Jim was setting up the Easter egg hunt for the grandchildren yesterday his gold ring came off. Although often told he is too old to participate, I told him he was never too old to search for gold. The plan was hatched to meet this morning before the festivities began. Waiting a few to let a brief rainfall pass we wondered where the ring egg-scaped to, I mentioned that the ring had way more karats than the easter bunny but then what would a rabbit do with a gold ring? Laughing, I hopped into a grid search in the suspected area. Near some longer grass a good signal came thru my headphones from the metal detector. Reaching down with my Garrett carrot pin pointer it signaled, revealing Jim’s gold ring! Handing it to him I said… Well, this Easter turned out to be all it’s cracked up to be….. and somebunny needs some chocolate!

Victor was doing some yard work, like planting some small trees and spreading new dirt and mulch. He spent most of the morning in the same spot and when he was all finished he noticed that his rose gold wedding ring was not on his finger any more. He was 95% sure he lost it in the dirt or mulch and he knew that it would take the rest of the day to go through all the dirt and mulch plus the area looked so nice and he just hated to tear it all up! So he looked on line and found theringfinders.com website and decided to give me a call. I am usually always available so I showed up at Victor’s home and within 5 minutes I dug a bottle cap and his lost wedding ring, which was down in the dirt a good 8 inches and rang up as an #80 on my Deus 2 metal detector! Victor was very relieved to have his lost wedding ring back and I was super thankful to be a blessing to him as well.
