Surfer Loses Tungsten Ring in Surf at Newport Beach . Found and Returned by Stan the Metal Detector Man

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Metal Detecting Service ready to help you now .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Chris called me asking for help to find his tungsten wedding ring .. He had been surfing at Newport Beach, CA. As he was coming out of the water he took off the top of his wetsuit then realized his wedding ring was missing. Some one on the beach recommended he contact Stan the metal Detector Man. 

I was able to meet him before he left the beach. This was key to helping Chris find his ring. We had the general area where he had been and the action that may have caused the ring to come off his finger. There still was a possibility that his ring was outside in deep waster where he was catching surfing waves. I explained that I only could search the dry sand and water to 4 feet in the surf. 

 

After a half hour I was able to find his ring.. We were lucky because the ring probably came off when he pulled his arm out of the wetsuit while standing in shallow surf. As usual Chris had given up and was very surprised that his ring was found in that location.. After surfing in deeper water for more than an hour, it could have been outside in waters too deep and turbulent to use a metal detector

.

If you have lost something give me a call. We can discuss the circumstances and conditions of the search area to determine if we have a chance to find your valuable. Stan the Metal Detector Man ..  949-500-2136 .. Available 7/24 to help you.

 

Lost Platinum Wedding Band at Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Rahiti who hails from Tahiti and currently works for HECO on Oahu.  While playing competitive surf polo during the Duke Fest at Kuhio Beach while attempting to hit the ball his Platinum Wedding Band flew off and disappeared in chest deep water.  Since those protected pools get metal detected constantly I told Rahiti we should meet this afternoon immediately after I got off work.  We met in the Zoo Parking lot and then proceeded down to Kuhio Beach.  It was a super high tide and the waves were crashing over the wall and the pool was quite turbulent.  Rahiti thought the ring would be about halfway cross the pool but that water was over my head.  Looking at his pics from the day before when the ring was lost we realized it was probably only a third of the way in.  I told Rahiti I would go as deep as possible then turn parallel to the shore so as to get the most out of the high tide hunt.  I started  at the extreme left side of the grid and went in.  When I reached neck deep water I turned right and immediately got a loud #33 on the Manticore.  I took one scoop and the target was captured.  I could not believe my eyes there was a large Platinum Band in the scoop.  First target, first swing!  I yelled to Rahiti « Got it! »  He looked as surprised as I was for such a quick recovery.  Had he been even a few inches to the right on this hunt we wouldn’t have found the ring.  Totally Blessed!  Much Aloha to Rahiti!

White Gold Wedding Band Set Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC (with Video)

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

This recovery started on Monday, Aug 27th about 1:10 pm, with a text message from Rachel saying, “Hi Jim. Am I able to hire you to search around our beach chairs for my wedding rings?” The text had her phone number, so I called her to get a little more detail. She told me that she took her ring set off and put them in her cover-up pocket to put on suntan lotion. A short time later she took the cover-up off, forgetting about the set. Within seconds, she remembered about them being in the pocket, and they were gone. She was sure they were around the beach chairs. Unfortunately, I wasn’t available for at least an hour or two, but she said she wasn’t going anywhere until she was sure the area was checked.

I called her back about 1:45 pm saying I’d be there in 30-45 minutes. When I got there she was in the parking lot talking to friends. We walked out on the beach and across the sand to where her husband Rob was sitting. The search area was maybe 1.5X1.5 ft.  I had my Equinox 800 with me, turned it on and started swinging. With the ring set being white gold, I knew the VDI (Visual Display Indicator) would show between 8-12, depending on the size of the rings. Within seconds I had an 11 VDI and a strong signal next a beach chair. I asked Rachel if she’d move the beach chair so I could be sure I wasn’t getting interference from it. I swung my machine back over the spot and BINGO! I had to take 2 scoops to get the target out of the hole. I didn’t ask, but I assumed that Rachel and Rob had tried to find the ring set and moved enough sand to bury the ring a little deeper. When I spread the sand out on the beach, Rachel spotted her ring before I did and quickly picked it up. There were a few very happy tears of relief and a big hug from Rachel, who didn’t think she’d get her precious treasure back.

Special thanks to my son, Mike, who’s visiting from CT and took the video for the story.

Rachel and Rob – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Have a great rest of your vacation!!

Jim

Wedding Ring recovery at Wrightsville Beach NC

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This ring was recovered and returned at Wrightsville Beach NC on 8-25-24.

I received a call yesterday around 10:30am from a gentleman who was at Wrightsville Beach and had lost his ring. He explained he was tossing a ball with others when his ring suddenly fell off and he immediately tried to grab it but a wave came in and took it before he could pick it up. We spoke for awhile and he also explained that he had to catch a flight back to Arizona so he probably wouldn’t be there when I got to the beach but I could give it to his brother who could bring him the ring if I found it. He marked the area very well for me to know where to search and sent me photos of the markers. I drove to the beach and got there around 1:45pm. It was high to when I got there so I knew I would be hunting in the water since he lost it around low to mid tide. Because he marked the area so well I was able to find the area to search with ease. This was a big help. I entered the water and started my search. After about 10 minutes of searching in the water with strong waves I stepped into a trough under the water that was a little above my knees deep. Searching the trough I got a strong solid signal on my metal detector. I used my extreme sandscoop to dig the target and recover the ring. I called him to let him know I found it and sent him pictures of it. He was very happy to hear I found it. I later met with his brother at a rest area along my route home and gave him the ring so he could get it back to his brother. I was very happy to help. 

Wedding band recovered in Belmar NJ

While watching tv at 8:45pm, my phone rings and it’s Welmo from Fort Lee asking if I could help locating his wedding band lost on Belmar, NJ beach. At first I thought he had already returned home and I told him i’d go in the morning but with that beach there are some locals that detect the beach after hours and it may be gone by the morning. He said he was still in Belmar so I agreed to meet him in 15 minutes. Getting to the beach I met up with him. He told me he took his ring off to put lotion on his daughter and placed the ring on her bookbag she brought along and forgot about it. He showed me that area they were sitting by means of picture he took during the day and I started a grid back and forth. Wasn’t doing any good except for trash until my 6th pass through the area and got a great signal and with 1 scoop of sand I had his ring back for him. He was so grateful to get his ring back. A great happy ending to the night.

Lost Silver Rings at Honu Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began 12 August when I got a call from Aubri who was visiting Oahu from her home state of Texas.  While enjoying her day on the beach at Honu Lagoon before swimming she put her silver rings in the beach chair pocket.  At the end of the day and after returning the beach chair to the hotel she realized she had left the rings in the chair pocket.  Upon return to the chair area the rings were no were to be found.  She assumed the four rings must have fallen out when she folded the chair on the beach.  I went for the hunt on Saturday morning and was able to match up the photo of their location with the pic Aubri sent me.  I started the hunt working towards the grassy area Aubri described.  About 15 minutes into the hunt I got a nice high tone on the Manticore and dug a silver ring with a blue stone.  Another swing and a few inches over I found another silver ring with a little white opal.  There were four rings in total but the final two never showed themselves.  After talking to Aubri she thought maybe they were inside the resort area which would be impossible to hunt.  She was obviously grateful of the two I recovered and shes wearing them again in the pic back in Texas.  She knows I’ll certainly check again in case they are still on the beach.  Aloha to Aubri!

How to find a lost ring in the grass with a metal detector…Lake Mary, Florida!

Austin and his dear wife had a bit of an argument over a small issue and in the midst of the conversation he had a fleeting thought to throw his ring!  And that passing thought led him to slip his ring off of his finger and gently toss it into the grass…thinking that he would easily be able to find it later and everything would be AOK!  But as is the case here in Florida with the St. Augustine grass…any small item dropped into this kind of grass basically disappears quickly and proves to be very difficult to find.  Austin spent an hour or two searching on his hands and knees and eventually went out and purchased a low end metal detector and searched for three hours more.  The metal detector sounded off everywhere he walked and ended up making the situation even more frustrating.

That evening his wife typed in « How to find a ring in the grass » on Google and eventually theringfinders.com website came up and offered the exact service and help they were needing.  Austin called me early the next morning and we made arrangements to meet 3 hours later.  Austin showed me the small area where he tossed his ring and I set out 4 cones and showed him how to adjust his metal detector and encouraged him to start sweeping his detector exactly like I was doing.  I told him to start on one end of the marked out area and I began on the other end.  I had the advantage of a Garrott pin pointer to investigate any signal that sounded like a shallow white gold ring and after numerous pieces of can slaw I spotted his brand new white gold wedding ring pressed down into the dirt.  Austin was super  relieved and so very thankful to have his lost ring back and glad for the happy ending.  I thank God for allowing me to find and return Austin’s wedding ring and to be a blessing to this young couple!
