Four-Generation Men’s Wedding Band Recovered, Woodneck Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

This was a very special wedding band.  Peter’s great grandfather wore it when he was married in 1917, and it passed down through Peter’s grandfather, and father, to him.  It was inscribed with initials and dates and had been through two World Wars and, now, four marriages.  It went onto Peter’s left ring finger when he was married in 2017, 100 years after his great grandfather tied the knot.  Needless to say, this was a ring that, once lost, needed to be found!

The ring left Peter’s finger when his hand bumped a rock as he was floating down the channel with his young daughter at Woodneck Beach.  He had a good idea of where the ring probably came off and felt certain of the limits where it might be.  He learned of the RingFinders through the Fabulous Falmouth group on Facebook and called me on the evening of the loss.  I met him and his friend Dave the next morning at low tide to do the search.

I covered the prime area thoroughly with no result, and then extended the search in increments beyond the limits of where Peter felt the ring should be.  After two hours with no target it was starting to look pretty discouraging.  But, as is not uncommonly the case, the ring could be farther afield than expected, so I widened the search even more.  Fortunately this soon produced the desired result, and it was accompanied by lots of happy exclamations and smiles as the heirloom ring was returned to Peter’s finger.  I’m really pleased that I was able to recover this unique treasure and to know that it will continue to be held and cherished in the family where it belongs!

Small Gold Chain Ring Lost in Deep Grass .. at a Park in Irvine, California

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:


Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you find your lost ring or other precious metal jewelry.. Call or text as soon as possible 24/7 .. Also my email is: stan@metaldetectorman.com

*** Cynthia was at Arbor Park located in Irvine , CA. She was sitting on the grass with her family when her Gold  chain link ring came off her finger, dropping into deep grass.

She found my contact information on line. After a short conversation I was able to meet her 35 minutes after getting the address of the park..

My heart sank when she showed me a photo of the gold chain ring and seeing the deep grass where it was dropped. Gold chains are difficult for most metal detectors to receive a decent signal. I always carry my high frequency metal detector for small gold searches. This was definitely the tool I had to use.

It took a few minutes to get a decent signal in the 4” deep grass. The small chain ring was at the bottom of the grass, balled up, about the size of a gold nugget. Hardly visible , even after spreading the blades of grass away.

A quick response time and successful search in difficult conditions. Many times the people don’t realize how hard a search can be. They think anybody can find a metal object, if they have a metal detector.. I love the challenge and being able to help people find irreplaceable keepsakes.

I’m ready to help you find your missing metal item lost at the beach, yard, park or in the water. Also I have been able to recover jewelry in cars, homes or other places where a metal detector can’t be used using endoscopes and other search tools.

“I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “ call or text for help or information .. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. 949-500-2136

Lost Gold Platinum & Diamonds Poker Rings at Kailua Beach…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a call from Damian who was on vacation with his family from Denver, Colorado.  While Damian was wrestling his Father Kiko in the shore break at Kailua Beach Kiko’s two amazing Poker Rings came off and disappeared in the waves and sand.  Kiko told me he tried for about three hours to feel for them with his feet but that’s an impossible task.  I had just gotten home from work so I told Damian I would pack my gear and could be there in about 45 minutes depending on traffic.  When I got in the vicinity he flagged me down and miraculously there was available parking right where they were.  When I arrived, Damian took me down to the beach where I met Hector, Fabian, Kiko & Bianca.  The whole family was devastated that their Father had lost these special rings.  I also saw a metal detectorist in the water hunting and told them I don’t compete.  It’s either him or me.  Thankfully, the gentleman was a passerby and had just offered his assistance.  Having a Garrett MAX I knew that wouldn’t be working in our salt water environment.  He graciously bowed out so I could do the hunt with the Manticore.  Bianca showed me a video of Kiko & Damian wrestling in thigh deep water so I asked Kiko why was he standing in chest deep water.  I decided to do a perpendicular to shore grid and had Kiko stand in the water as my marker.  Thankfully, this beach is really clean so some deep grunting targets is all I heard until BOOM!  55-76 VDI on the surface target that my coil I believe actually bumped as I swung.  The water was so murky I had to scoop the concrete like sand.  I was only thinking big gold band not the monster green gem with diamonds in yellow gold that was in the bottom of my scoop.  I grabbed it and said to Kiko, « Look a ring for me. »  He exclaimed « No, that’s my favorite of the two rings I lost. »  He then told me the other ring was Platinum and had a gold coin in it with diamonds.  About 4 feet further another BOOM! This target refused to go in my scoop as I was getting thrown around in the surf.  I asked the other detectorist since he was a stout guy to try a real detector and stand his ground and scoop that target up for me.  I didn’t want to damage the ring scooping constantly.  Sure enough on his second scoop the other magnificent ring was in the scoop and immediately given to Kiko.  The entire family was over joyed that their vacation was saved.  We had a few laughs and pics and of course all the boys were interested in metal detecting and had a few questions about the hobby which I gladly answered.  Several beach goers were yelling congratulations and how awesome to see the recovery.  A great big Aloha to Kiko, Bianca, Damian, Fabian & Hector!

Lost Wedding Ring found at East Beach Santa Barbara

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

If you have lost your ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet in the sand, the water, the yard or field don’t wait call or text Ventura and Santa Barbara’s Ringfinder Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so he can make a plan to get your lost Jewelry back!

I got a call late Monday night from Dyana wanting to know if I could get out to East Beach in Santa Barbara to recover her husband Richard’s wedding band. Evidently he had lost it while trying to protect it as often happens. He had placed it in the cupholder of his chair when he went for a swim and forgot it was in there when he packed up the chair to go back to the Hilton across the street. The ring flew out of the cupholder and was lost in the dry sand.

East Beach gets detected quite frequently so I knew I needed to get out there ASAP and I agreed to meet them a little after 6am the next day. Upon arrival we met at the beach and Dyana gave me the area she thought they had been in and I began a grid search of the area. The beach had been groomed already and I was a bit concerned that the sand sweeper or someone else had gotten it as the sand was quiet. All of sudden I got a nice tone on my Minelab Manticore and a quick scoop of my CKG sand scoop and I had the ring in my possession.

Needless to say Dyana was relieved! They had been married for one year exactly and Richard had lost his ring on their one year anniversary!

If you lose your ring in the sand don’t wast time renting or buying a metal detector. Call or text metal detecting expert Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so just like Dyana, you too can get your ring back!

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

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

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)
Contact:

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)
Contact:

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

Don’t waste time renting a metal detector call Dave Ventura and Santa Barbara’s metal detecting expert at 805-290-5009 right away!

On late Sunday afternoon I got a frantic call from Julia who wanted to know if I could help recover wedding ring set that she had accidentally lost in the sand at East Beach in Santa Barbara. I assured her we could find them and I made my way to Santa Barbara. East Beach is a popular destination for folks looking to enjoy warm breezes and calm waters and Julia and her husband Robert were there to spend the day enjoying all that Santa Barbara beaches have to offer. Unfortunately in an attempt to protect her rings Julia had taken them off and placed them in her shorts pocket while she went for a swim. When she was finished swimming she had put her shorts on again and then went to get her rings out of the pocket and they were gone!

She showed me the location where they were at and I began to grid the area and in a minute or two I got the first great tone on my Minelab Manticore and I pushed my CKG scoop into the sand and out came Julia’s beautiful engagement ring. Another swing or two later of the Manticore and her wedding ring was in my CKG scoop safe and secure.

Remember, if you lose your valuable piece of jewelry all is not lost if you call or text Dave at 805-290-5009. Dave has the experience, the skill and the time to search for your ring even if it’s at 2am!

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.
