**** This is just a basic summertime ring recovery. Steve’s ring was lost in dry sand at the most populated part of the Newport Beach,CA. He was certain it fell out of his backpack where he had set at the towel line. (top of beach nearest the water)

We usually can have a successful recovery if I can get to search the first day. The next morning the city beach cleaning machine will most likely get it. Newport Beach uses the state of the art sifting machine “The Beach King” everyday in the summer.

It is only a couple miles drive for me. I met Steven who told me he was  vacationing from out of state and would be returning to his home tomorrow. The Tungsten wedding band was found about five feet outside the search area approximately 3 inches deep. Big smile on Steven’s face. 

I’m including a clip of our Newport Beach cleaning machine “The Beach King” it gets items as small as a dime.

**** Jennifer was given a set of custom diamond stud ear rings by her parents, celebrating her graduation from law school. Each of the ear rings consists two pieces and a backing. One piece is called a jacket which the diamond stud is inserted.

Jennifer had been in the back yard of her Huntington Beach, CA. home hold her son when she realized her earring was missing. The backing was still on her ear. Women know that these backings sometimes stay on their ears after losing the earring.

Both her husband and Jennifer checked the grass small grass area where she discovered her earring missing. Her husband decided that he could remove some of the undesirable grass while doing the search. She knew there was a possibility that the earring could have hung up on her son’s clothing or her hair. So they also searched places around the patio and in the house before calling me for help. 

When I arrived Jennifer’s brother was walking to his car with a metal detector. He was totally upset with the detector realizing he didn’t understand how to operate it.

I have invested in a detector with high frequency settings that is very efficient for finding small stud earrings which have very little metal settings. Most detectorists know how difficult stud earrings can be to locate with a detector. Also most pinpointers can’t hit on a white gold stud earrings. Many times these stud are found by eye after finding the backing.

I started my search on the grass and soon found the larger jacket piece of the earring but the stud was not found. ( I placed a marker right away) . I couldn’t get another signal. Then went to the trash can to detect through the pieces of grass removed from the area. Lastly I removed four non ferrous screws from that 5’x 5’ grass area. Using two other detectors the stud was not detectable. 

Before leaving I gave Jennifer a exclamation of how difficult it is to find a stud. I could not tell her it was not in the same location I found the larger piece (jacket). I actually told her it might be findable by eye but could be just seeing the stud not the diamond. It was hard to walk away. 

The next day Jennifer called another detectorist. Who also had a high frequency detector with could get signals off the other stud earring. He was unable to find the diamond stud.

Here’s the miracle. The next day after being totally frustrated and confined to her house because of Covid. Jennifer went to the area I marked after finding the jacket. Using a kitchen fork and began to move some of the damp soil around the grass. She found the small stud 6” from the marker. When she texted me she said all she saw was a glimmer of silver color (white gold). She thanked me for finding the first piece that gave them the best possible location to search.

I know the limitations of my equipment and there is always the possibility that small metals can be masked by larger pieces of metal.

I think this stud was most likely laying in an odd angle, maybe with the diamond downward?

Happy to know Jennifer has her very sentimental set of earrings.

Lost Ring in Huntingdon PA… Found!

  • from Altoona (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Rick who said he lost a wedding band while Kayaking in the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The ring was a family heirloom and was inscribed with the date of his grandmother’s wedding. Hunts like these are particularly motivating to me because of the sentimental value of the ring. Like Rick said, it’s not about the monetary value.  The real value is in the significance it has to his family and he would like to pass it down to his kids. The only problem was the size of the search area.

Rick didn’t know where the ring came off of his finger but he remembered three spots where his kayak got hung up on the rocks and he thought he might have lost it at one of those spots. He provided Julie and I with kayaks and the three of us loaded up gear and headed to the most likely spot where the current picked up a bit after dropping down a ledge. On the way there, I got to know Rick a bit and how he fished the river as a kid and takes his family there now. The river is a special place for him and I thought it would be a shame if his lost ring would tarnish that. When we got to the spot, we beached the kayaks and stumbled over the slippery rocks to the search area. After about 15 minutes of searching, I got a good signal and I went in with a snorkel and pinpointer and pulled out the ring. We were so excited and amazed to find the ring with such a large area to cover. Rick was such a nice guy and I was glad to be able to preserve the good memories the river holds for him.

Haigis Beach, Dennis Port, Massachusetts Ring Lost, Found and Return

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Joe was frolicking around with his son in the beach waters of Haigis. As we all know something unexpected is always bound to happen. When father and son’s hands connected the result was Joe’s wedding band went sailing off into the ocean. This ring has had a habit of taking leave from its appointed place of adornment. It had been an escapee five previous times, the first time was onto a nice dry sandy beach, once into a rock pile, a couple of times into fall cleanup debris, once a fall from the top of a ladder only to lodge between the ladder and a dock which foiled its escape into the water which was 20 feet deep. After each disappearance it was always found. This is probably the one ring that has been lost and found more times than any other ring.

This time the ring was to stay in Nantucket Sound for 2 days before it would accompany the blooming plum flowers and fresh sea air again while adorning Joe’s finger again.

The family vacation had been planned as a trip to South Carolina. Covid-19 put a halt on flying and the plans had to changed. The new plans were to enjoy the amenities on Cape Cod this would not require flights to and from South Carolina. The vacation town of South Yarmouth was chosen. What luck for the ring and Joe as I would not have been in South Carolina to retrieve the wayward ring.

Joe had the presence of mind to mentally take notice location identifying features of the beach. Each helped in narrowing the search area. I marked the sand and went into the water. I covers the first two areas directly in front of the marked area with no results. I moved about ten feet further east, again nothing. Next ten feet to the west. It was not long before I heard the sweet sound of the wayward ring. I scooped it up and walked into shore toward Joe. He thought I was giving up and needed a drink of water. True, but his daughter spotted the ring in my scoop first. Joe’s glance was second to spot the rings new resting place. A call of joy prompted by the sight of his ring, Joe signaled to his wife and son to come out of the water. They all joined in on a multitude of Thank Yous and a promises not to let the ring escape again.

Football on the Beach in Ventnor NJ = Lost Chain & Pendant – Dave Milsted Responded

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

 

Metal Detecting Man to the rescue:
Saturday, I was just sitting down to dinner when Josh called. He was on the beach in Ventnor and was playing football. His older brother grabbed at him and caught his chain. The chain broke off of his neck, and the game stopped. Both the thin chain & a Star of David pendant are missing. He kind of marked off the area.
My wife was nice enough to keep dinner warm while I made the journey to the shore. Parking was difficult as NJ continues to open up after being shut down for COVID-19. I found a parking spot 2 blocks away after doing several circles waiting for someone to leave.
Josh was waiting on the beach for me with his father and his younger brother. They showed me the area they thought the items would be. The chain is thin, and the pendant is about the size of a dime.
I started my search in a circular pattern from the spot they thought the items should be. After about 20 minutes, they adjusted the location, and I moved there. 5 minutes later, I had the pendant in my scoop. You would have thought that Josh and his family won the PowerBall the way they were celebrating. I searched for another hour for the chain. It did not appear. Thin chains and stud earrings are some of the hardest things to find. I tried multiple settings on my detector. I found everything but the chain. Because it was small, I believe it broke into numerous little pieces, not leaving enough metal for me to locate on the heavy mineralized sandy beach.
Josh was a little disappointed but said it was ok. He really wanted the Star of David pendant back, which he now has.

Lost Diamond Ring Warwick, RI… Found After 2 Years!

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

Keith Wille – Ring Recovery Specialist. Lost your ring? Call 860-917-8947. A lost diamond ring in Warwick, RI found under a leaf pile two years later. While clearing brush, a family realized mom’s diamond ring was missing. Mom remembers having her ring on her finger early in the day but not after finishing some yard work. They checked the house and outdoor areas with no luck. They even purchased a metal detector, still no chance. Once I arrived, I quickly checked the open grassy areas first. Moving on to the wood line, I realized this search would involve some raking and brush clearing to cover the area thoroughly. Pile by pile, I cleared leaves down to the dirt and pulled old metal pieces of trash from the ground. I approached an hour of searching and ran out of possible areas the lost ring could be. I was starting to lose hope. Nearing the last leaf pile, I heard a faint signal and raked back over 12” of leaf cover. There it was, the glimmer of gold I was waiting to see. We rinsed the dirt off, and the white gold diamond ring hardly looked like it spent the last two years buried in the woods. Jim’s family was reunited with an important symbol of love just in time for Mother’s Day!

How to Find a Lost Ring

Rake any leaf cover thinly across the ground and clear any vegetation. If you have already bagged the yard debris, keep these aside to be checked with the metal detector just if the ring doesn’t turn up in the search area. Contact a professional detectorist to discuss the next steps of finding your lost ring. I serve Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and short distances into other surrounding states. If you lost a ring or something of value, contact Keith Wille now uncoverthings@yahoo.com | Call or text 860-917-8947 | www.metaldetectionkeithwille.com

Grelle Park, Recovery

  • from Austin (Texas, United States)

Found it!

Excited!

This past week I received a call from Drew asking if I could help him to find his wife’s lost wedding band. After speaking a bit he said that it may be in a few feet of water as they had been swimming at the time, but it was several weeks ago and he believed the water may be lower (Texas summer and all). We also spoke about regulations of the park as he and I were both under the impression that there were certain restrictions regarding metal detecting. I called and emailed the park inquiring about the details as several parks in the Austin area do actually require you to apply for a permit with the requirement that you are searching for a lost item. Yesterday I heard back from the park and they let me know that they do have regulations and metal detecting is not allowed, however in this case they would allow me to search the area and I didn’t require any sort of permit. Luckily with this out of the way Drew, his family and I were able to meet out at the park. After a quick chat about how/when this happened I had a decent sized area to search with a pretty good guess of whereabouts the ring might be most of which was water free. After a good hour and a half of searching I still hadn’t found it, since the area was a pretty popular swimming hole I was fighting a good bit with the infamous « canslaw ». Luckily the ring was platinum so I knew that the sound was a bit different allowing me to dodge a good bit of the trash! Everyone had already finished swimming and made their way back up to the campsite for a break, that’s when I found it! Drew seemed to know right away, just as I found it he was already starting to stand up and make his way down to see. We were all so excited and happy to have found it!! After sharing a celebratory elbow bump, safety first, I headed out and let the happy family enjoy the rest of the day with a big weight lifted!

How to Find a Lost Ring in the Sand in Port Hueneme and Surrounding Beaches with DaveTheRingFinder
Losing a wedding ring is devastating, especially in a restricted spot like the Naval Station Pt. Mugu beach near Port Hueneme. When Michael called DaveTheRingFinder about his lost ring, I knew my metal detecting skills could help. I specialize in how to find a lost ring in the sand, and I was ready to assist in Port Hueneme and its surrounding beaches.

Working in a secure area posed challenges, but I was committed to recovering Michael’s ring. We began on the south side of the Port Hueneme beach, but the sand stayed silent. Shifting our grid north, my metal detector finally sang—a strong tone led me to dig deep, revealing Michael’s wedding ring buried in the sand.
Security rules blocked a photo, but Michael’s relief was clear. As DaveTheRingFinder, it was a privilege to help an Armed Services member reclaim such a meaningful treasure. To all military members in Port Hueneme and beyond—your service inspires me every day.

White Marlin Open Tournament Ring Lost in the surf at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found and Joyfully Returned.

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

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service For You if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Don’t wait, time will work against you, please CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! 310-953-5268

I received a distressed email from Tommy the other day. He had lost a very special ring in the surf at the beach that he had been wearing for the past 23 years. He had won the ring at the Maryland DC White Marlin Open Tournament in 1997, a tournament that he had fished for most of his life, and to lose this precious reward was a major blow. The problem was that the ring was lost 3 days earlier, and I was already thinking that the possibility of a recovery was going to be slim to none. The best chance of a search was going to be the next morning, so that was going to be 4 days. I called Tommy and we discussed what had happened. There were details about the loss that were favorable, like the fact he lost it at high tide, which would have put me in a good position at low tide the next day. He was not able to meet me there for the search, but was able to give me a great landmark to use to do the search, so I let him know I would go, and let him know one way or the other if I was able to locate his ring.

I got to the area, and began my search at the top of the slope working North and South, and worked my way down to the water. There was so much sand, and I was not getting any signals although I was using one of my deepest detectors. I finally found one crusted penny. I reached the water’s edge, and donned my chest waders to search in the surf. I now worked East and West trying to maintain a close grid working down the beach. I was able to go out into the surf quite far because after going through a hole, there was a sand bar that raised back up, and was flat out to the breaking waves. I found another crusted penny out there, and ended up covering the whole area that I had searched up on the slope. Tommy had told me that if anything, he might have been more North of the landmark as opposed to South, so I moved up to continue searching in the Northern direction. I made a few passes from the top of the slope into the water, and while about 30 feet out in the water, out on the bar I got a good signal. I was able to scoop the target digging once, and after washing the sand from the scoop saw the ring I was hunting, I couldn’t believe it was still there, but seeing it made me very happy. I took a picture of the ring and sent a text to Tommy letting him know about the recovery, and he sent a me a text back, one of total disbelief. We arranged to meet when he got off of work, to return the ring. When we met, he told me how he had been in communication with the tournament to find out if the ring could be replaced, because he thought it was lost forever. I was very honored to be able to hand this precious memory back to him; made his day!

I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

If you lost your ring in the sand call ”Stan the Metal Detector Man ” now.. 949-500-2136 .. ..

**** Patrick and Scott live at Hermosa Beach, CA. they often relax on sand to watch the waves and sunset. Patrick put his gold ring safely on his watch band. Scott left his ring at their home for safekeeping.

While sitting on the beach, Patrick decided to adjust his watch band because it was too tight. Then the unexpected happen. His very sentimental gold wedding band slipped into the dry sand. They saw exactly where it went into the sand. Finger searching was not successful. They went back to house to get digging and sifting tools. Again the search was beginning to look futile.

I passerby saw them searching the sand and recommended they google TheRingFinders for a metal detector specialist. They called me and we met on the beach before the incoming high tide reached the area of the loss. I was surprised by the how they had scooped a perfect flat spot 8ft by 10ft piling the lose sand to each side. 

I set up my detector beginning a grid search. A short time later the ring was recovered in the side of their excavation zone in a pile of sand the removed. They had actually dug the ring throwing to the side of the spot it was dropped in the sand. Patrick was elated and very relieved to have original wedding ring recovered. Also he was beating himself up for even bringing it onto the beach. Look a the smiles, they are real!
