Lost Platinum Tiffany & Co. Wedding Band at Waikiki Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began as I was headed home from work, when I got a call from Tyler who was on a Anniversary vacation in Waikiki from San Jose, California.  He had just erected a tent sun shade on Waikiki Beach and then realized his Tiffany & Co, Platinum Wedding Band was no longer on his finger.  I told him I would grab my gear at home, then park at the zoo and head down to the Waikiki Beach search area.  Tyler met me at the Duke Kahanamoku statue and we walked to the area of the beach where the ring was lost.  Tyler’s lovely wife Annie had been holding the spot under the sun shade and helped us move all the beach items from the search area.  I fired up the Manticore and commenced the search.  There were a few targets and of course we dig it all so as to be sure the desired target isn’t masked.  A few pieces of foil and a pull tab were detected then a solid Platinum tone on the beast and as I moved some sand with the coil Tyler’s ring came into view.  I leaned over and grabbed the Platinum Ring and handed it to Tyler.  An obvious sigh of relief was the expression on his face.   A few hugs and thank yous to cap off the saved vacation.  Aloha to Tyler & Annie!

Lady’s White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On 7/18/2025 shortly after 2 pm, I received a call from Kari asking if I could help find her wedding band. I asked her if it was in the water and she stated, “No, it’s in the dry sand.” She mentioned that she had taken her rings off to apply suntan lotion. She also said she had found 5 of her rings but couldn’t find the wedding band. I told her I could be there in 20-30 minutes and asked her to send me the address. I was on my way when I got the address. I plugged it into my GPS and sent her a text saying I was on my way and my ETA.

When I got to the beach, parking was non-existent. I pulled into the resort parking garage and found a spot. I was hoping I could find her ring and be back to the car before I got a ticket. I sent her a text saying, “Here.” She called me and told me she saw me and was waving. I saw her and made my way in her direction. I asked her what kind of metal it was, and she handed me her engagement ring and said it’s just like this one. White gold wedding and engagement rings usually shows a VDI (visual display indicator) between 4-6. I turned my detector on, laid the engagement ring in the sand, which quickly disappeared, and ran the coil over the area.  Sure enough, the engagement ring rang up as a 4. I had to use my scoop to get her engagement ring back out of the sand. Kari showed me the area, which was about a 1ft-by-1ft spot. I looked at her, said “30 seconds” and ran my coil over the spot and BINGO! I got a 3 on the VDI, took a very small scoop of sand and had the target. I gently shook out the sand, saw her ring and then held the scoop up so she could see and retrieve her ring. Happy Lady!!!

Kari – Thank you for contacting me to help find your lost ring.

A Recent Success Story: Recovering a Diamond Engagement Ring in SilverLake, Los Angeles.
Recently, Dave received a call from Ohio about a lost diamond engagement ring in SilverLake, Los Angeles. Kendall reached out on behalf of her daughter, Kaitlin, who had accidentally flung her ring off her fiancé’s car hood while waving goodbye, holding her baby. The ring landed in a challenging garden filled with cacti, bougainvillea, and thorny plants. Thanks to Kaitlin’s detailed photos, Dave prepared to search meticulously, relying on his pinpointers rather than his Minelab Manticore due to the dense, prickly terrain.The search area was a narrow 10-foot ledge above a steep, hazardous hillside. Kaitlin’s fiancé suggested starting on the far right, believing the ring landed there. After 15 minutes of careful searching on hands and knees, Dave found no trace of the ring. Just as he reassessed, Kaitlin’s grandmother shared a vivid dream about the ring’s location—halfway to the left on the flat ledge. Respecting her intuition, Dave shifted his focus.Within two minutes, his pinpointer detected a signal under a bush. Peeling back leaves and navigating thorns, Dave spotted the glint of a diamond. Buried in underbrush, the ring was tricky to retrieve, but he carefully scooped it up, leaves and all, revealing the stunning engagement ring in all its glory. Kaitlin and her family were overjoyed!

Cellphone with Wallet dropped in Newport Beach Bay off a Dock.. Recovered

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

How to find a find a cellphone and a wallet at a Newport Beach, CA. waterfront resturant .. Just Call Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136


** Beverly was at a Newport Beach waterfront resturant when her friend dropped his cellphone with a magnetic wallet into the bay. She contacted me telling me it was just off a dock in about 8’ to 10’ of water.

I had just had mild surgery and could not go into the water. I called my favorite diver, Rudy to asked if he was available.  We met at the dock a couple hours later. Rudy is always willing to assist me and I provide him with some of my underwater metal detecting equipment.

After gearing up we were able to get both the cellphone and the wallet that had credit cards with identification.

I always try to have back up equipment and other Ringfinders available if I am unable to take a call out.

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On 7/16/2025 a little after 9 a.m. I received a call and voice mail from a 724-area code. I was on my way to Charleston, SC for a VA appointment and wasn’t able to immediately respond. The voice mail said, “Hi Jim, my name is Misty. We found you on ring finder and I lost my ring yesterday. I believe I lost it when I got knocked down by a wave at the beach and I’m hoping that you can help us out and help me find that. My number is 724-etc.” After listening to the voice mail, I took a guess that they were in Myrtle Beach and quickly looked up the tides for the day. I called Misty and got additional details, like the time she lost it and confirmed they were in Myrtle Beach. She confirmed Myrtle Beach and said she thought it was around 2 p.m., her husband said between 12 and 3 p.m. I told her I could be there around 4 p.m. and see what I could do. Once I got to my appointment, I double checked the tides and realized I had the wrong day. That’s what happens when you’re driving and trying to look at your phone. My best guess was she had actually lost it about 2 hours before low tide. I text her and told her that low tide was at 6:31 and that I’d be there at 5. I also ask her to send me the resort address. She agreed to 5 and sent me the address. On the way back from Charleston, I was watching the thunderstorms moving through the area due to the heat we’ve been getting. I text Missy and told her I was keeping an eye on the storms. The rain doesn’t bother me cause I’m probably going to get wet going in the ocean. Lightning’s a whole other story; I’m basically carrying two lightning rods in my hands, my metal detector and my sand scoop. Both have carbon fiber shafts which are able to conduct electricity.

By the time I got to the beach, the storms had passed, the sun was shining, and it was hot again. I met Misty and her longtime friend Barbara in the parking lot. We walked out to their spot on the beach, and I met her husband, Justin. They were set up within a few feet of where they were the day before. I got a north and south boundary line, probably 30-40 yards apart and searched around their area from the day before. No luck there, I started a perpendicular east/west grid line from about the middle of the beach out into the ocean. I was finding the typical trash, bottle caps and pull tabs but no ring. I searched for about an hour and half and only had a few yards left to search. This being a white gold wedding band I was expecting between a 9 and 12 on the detector’s VDI (visual display indicator). Suddenly, I hit a solid 10-11 and I knew I had her ring. I dug out a couple of scoops of sand and saw her beautiful ring lying in the sand I had spread out with my foot. I reached down and picked it up and looked up at them as they were looking at me. Now for the shock reveal. I put the ring in my pocket with the bottle caps and pull tabs, oh and an earring I had found. I walked back up the beach where they were sitting, looking like I was exhausted. I pulled out the items in my pocket and maneuvered her ring under a couple of bottle caps in the palm of my hand. I told them I wasn’t haven’t much luck and offered to show her what I had found. I bent down to show her, and she suddenly saw her ring and from there things got very emotional, happy, total shock and disbelief. I loved it!!! Her husband told me he saw me move the ring but didn’t say anything. Misty came up out of her chair and gave me a big hug. It doesn’t get any better than that, a very happy couple.

Misty and Justin – Thank you for allowing me to help get your treasure back where it belongs. Have a great rest of your vacation and a safe trip back to PA.

Jim

 

Looking for lost necklace on Miami Beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)

If you lost a piece of jewelry at the beach (in the water or in the sand) give me a call/message at 305-608-1870 (Louis).  I have a metal detecting service with 15 yrs of recovering lost items for people.

In the photos above a beautiful Chrome Hearts necklace and cross were lost the night before down by the waters edge in Miami Beach.  She placed her belongings under a blanket so nobody would steal it, but as in most cases at the end of the day she had forgotten that it was under there and walked away.  After realizing she left it behind she came back and searched all night but couldn’t find it.  She came back the next morning but again couldn’t find it.  Luckily I was only a few blocks away from her when she called and I was able to quickly get over there.  The necklace and cross were a gift from a dear friend who recently passed away and was obviously very sentimental to her.  She was crying and I felt horrible.
She pointed out to me the area where she was the night before. I began to search but after 15 min of going over the same are she had given up and thought someone must have seen it and picked it up (I did too but I knew better than to give up).  I expanded my search area and it had somehow made its way down closer to the waters edge.  She was ecstatic to be reunited with her necklace very thankful that I didn’t give up.  This was a very special gift and I was glad I could recover it for her.

So if you’re reading this and you lost something, give me a call, louis 305-608-1870

Metal detecting for Lost Cartier watch on the beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)

If you lost a piece of jewelry on the beach and need someone with a metal detector and 15 yrs of detecting experience… give me a call, Louis, at 305-608-1870.  I can come out and help you recover your lost item.

In the pictures above, I was called out to search for a platinum and gold Cartier watch that was lost down by the waters edge.  It was placed in a shirt and then the shirt was moved and the watch fell out and buried itself in the sand.  I was skeptical that it was still there, I thought someone saw it and walked off with it.  But that wasn’t the case.  Right when I was about to start searching it started to rain and she thought would t be able to detect.  Luckily she put me in the right spot and my first signal, there it was.  We had enough time to take a few pictures before the sky opened up.

Again, if you lost something, send me a text or call at 305-608-1870

Alton Illinois Tungsten Ring

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

I was contacted on July 12th, 2025 to look for a tungsten wedding band that was lost in the backyard while playing with the dog (the ring was lost for 2 days). The wife reached out to me after doing a Google search for lost ring recovery. The husband felt the ring leave his hand and had a specific location narrowed down where the ring might be located. I was in the backyard for less than an hour and returned the ring happily to the husband. All smiles 😃
