Diamond Ring Lost While Swimming…Found!
The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP 925-580-2590
On the 18th of June Corrine lost her diamond ring while taking a swim test at a local lake. She spent plenty of time searching the bottom for the missing ring with no luck. At some point in the panic of the moment she entered the situation into ChatGPT on her phone. This resulted in providing a link to THERINGFINDERS.COM and directly to me.
As it happened, I had two constraints to providing immediate support. First, I was out of town with the family visiting relatives. The second issue was that my Equinox 800 was still awaiting a new control box after damages accrued while providing support on a dive recovery. I would also need to reach out to the local parks department for permission to enter the water with a metal detector.
A few days later, these constraints had worked their way out and we scheduled the search. I would be teaming up with Mark (a member of the MDMDC) and Evan (scuba diver) would be tagging along for support as well. Members of the parks department would escort our small team to the lake shore to prepare and within minutes of entering the water…We Made The Recovery!!!
The ring was successfully recovered in 3 feet of water in the precise location Corrine said it would be. It was as easy as they come and all parties were ecstatic for a speedy success. I can’t thank everyone involved enough for playing their part in getting this diamond ring back to it’s rightful owner. Thank you very kindly.

While at work I got a call from a past employee Patty asking if my detector can find eye glasses in a metal frame. I told her it could and she asked for help. Turns out her husband while docking a boat slipped and fell into the water off the dock and his glasses flew off his face into the water. I had at first told her I’d meet her Saturday for low tide but I had a break coming up at work and it was already low tide so we agreed to meet in a half hour. I ran home and threw on a bathing suit and got my detector and headed to the marina. She showed me where he went into the water and it wasnt deep but the bottom was covered in seaweed. I decided not to use my scoop so not to damage his glasses. First signal turned out to be nothing and I moved to the side towards the boat and got another good signal reached down and felt around in the seaweed and felt his glasses. I untangled them from the seaweed and held them up and they were so happy to get them back. Her husband can see clear again and I saved him from having to get a new pair. A great ending to another recovery. Ran back home for a quick shower and back to work. Glad I could help
