Lost Gold Ring Found in Birmingham Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Un-Gloved….

…It started out a busy day for Mrs. Teena, for she had lots of places to go and a ton of tasks to complete around the house and yard. It was now evening and while enjoying dinner she noticed her ring was missing. Mentally going over where she may have lost the ring, she concluded that the characters involved in the disappearance was classy car, brownie leaf bag and friends, bladed grass, steely sewer drain or lefty grip glove and his right-hand man. Approaching classy car it said « It wasn’t me! I carry around a lot of weight but none of it is gold so go check brownie leaf bags! », and on doing so, no metal was detected with my MXT detector. Brownie bags got offended and said, « Why didn’t you check the bladed grass before me? ». Bladed grass was so thin we could see that the ring was not there but mentioned that steely sewer can see everything from below and noticed Mrs. Teena taking lefty grip glove and right-hand man on and off while filling up brownie leaf bags! But prior to my arrival Mrs. Teena checked both gloves and found nothing. I asked where grippy gloves were hiding and she said they were concealed out of sight by the house. I said that’s the clue we were waiting for! Lifting up the gloves I proceeded to scan them with my detector and got a metal signal and reading that indicated GOLD! Mrs. Teena and husband were awe struck and said again that she checked the gloves. So, reaching into the finger slot I was able to wiggle out Mrs. Teena’s very thin gold ring that lefty grip glove was hiding! Both she and husband were thrilled that this winning move to recover the ring fit like a glove!

Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Sterling Heights Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Mulch Ado About Nothing……

…As David was hurrying to finish his outside tasks for the year his ring disappeared and with way too mulch on his agenda didn’t realize it until later that night. After looking without mulch luck, he called me to come by to metal detect. Fretting over the phone about not knowing where it was, I told his wife out in the yard that it wouldn’t be too mulch trouble to find it. Scanning the grounds I got no junk signals but nearing the end of the mulch beds I got a great signal and reading on the detector’s meter where tungsten rings usually appear. Probing down a bit with the pin pointer I got a metal target. Reaching down revealed David’s tungsten ring! I walked around to the front door and presented the ring to David’s wife and with mulch enthusiasm on the phone David said mulch obliged!

Lost Wedding Ring – Found by metal detector specialist in Connellsville, PA

I am a ring recovery specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I received a call from Andy who stated that his wife’s wedding ring had been lost in the area of his driveway. We talked for a bit and exchanged a few texts and I arranged to go out the next morning.

Andy met me at his home and stated that he thought the ring was in or around a bush next to the driveway. He thought he saw the ring fall into that area but he and a neighbor who had a metal detector were unable to find it. I immediately went to work feeling pretty confident that the ring would be somewhere close but probably not in the bush if the neighbor did not find it. I soon figured out why the other person had a tough time as the ground was super loud with all sorts of sounds. I checked around the bush and then expanded my search but came up empty. I then commandeered a trash can and started to clean up the leaves along the side of the driveway but again…nothing. I then went back into the area of the bush and with my detector and pin pointer and started to pull out some small nails and a few other targets. I kept getting a hit at the base of the bush and but I could not locate the source. I kept going removing lot of leaves and some mulch…the target was there but ever elusive. All of a sudden – I found the ring!! It was located at the base of the bush which was coiled around like a spring and had gotten covered up, maybe from the previous searches.

I called Andy who came back to retrieve the ring. I told him it was in the bush where he thought but it was really tough find. Andy was very thankful and immediately took the ring inside for when his wife arrived home. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client like Andy and return his wife’s wedding ring.

Lost Gold & Diamonds Sentimental Mother’s Day Earring at Kaluahole Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This Earring hunt began when I got a text from Carolyne saying, « I lost an earring in the Diamond Head area.  Ring if you can help. »  I asked if she had parking as this area was all condos with no street parking.  She responded « Yes » The tide is high right now…It’s probably lost forever »  I said, « No.  Low tide is 6:30 »  I’ll call you before I head over.  When I arrived Carolyne directed me to the parking and escorted me to the beach entry.  Her husband Mark was going to come down and walk me out to the area down the coast a bit.  Carolyne had the other earring in a bag,  so I scanned it on the Manticore and it was a 3-4 on the VDI.   Mark took me to the search area and I told him it could take awhile so he didn’t have to stick around.  I started the hunt and there were several iron pieces along the retaining wall I had to work through.  The first possible target was a small chunk of Aluminum.  The next target was a #10 on the VDI and to my surprise it was the stunning earring.  Mark had started walking back to his condo when I yelled, « I got a gold earring with diamonds »  and he came back quickly to confirm.  He was in shock saying, « That’s it! »  I found out it was actually lost two days prior so what a blessing it didn’t end up in the coral after at least 4 pounding high tides.  The difference in the VDI had to be the earring Carolyne let me test was closed and the found earring was open.  Good point to remember.  When we got back to Carolyne she was obviously ecstatic after a successful recovery.  A few hugs & handshakes and of course the smiles.  Aloha to Carolyne & Mark!

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Band at Kaimana Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a call from Dean who was on vacation from Newport Beach, California and enjoying his vacation on Kaimana Beach in Waikiki.  The day before he had placed his ring in his towel and when he picked it up the ring flew out and disappeared into the fine sand of Kaimana Beach.  Knowing Kaimana Beach is heavily detected and it was lost the day before I asked Dean to go to the beach and guard the lost area until I could get there.  It was my lunch break so I knew I could get there in a few minutes and hopefully the ring hadn’t been found.  When I arrived at the beach Dean & Rick were waiting.  They showed me the area and I fired up the « BEAST ».  First target #30 on the VDI.  Boom!  Dean’s awesome white gold & diamond ring was in the scoop.  I was amazed how quickly it was found as the area was a few parking stalls in size.  Back to work in record time and Dean’s family was so appreciative of the recovery.  Aloha to Dean & Rick

 

Lost wedding ring found in Murfreesboro, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

Kari’s husband lost his titanium wedding band in the back yard of their beautiful Murfreesboro, TN home about a month ago when he was doing some yard work. They had spent countless hours searching for the ring, and even bought an inexpensive metal detector to use themselves. Kari was able to laugh when she said it was a much better noisemaker than a metal detector. Kari and her husband were somewhat certain the ring was somewhere in their backyard, but no idea where in the pretty expansive yard. I began a grid search and located the ring in just under 22 minutes. I offered to show Kari how to use the metal detector they bought in the event they needed to find another ring. She was quick to respond that she would much rather just call me for any future metal detecting needs. It is often that word-of-mouth recommendations are the best advertising there is.

Lost ring found in Brentwood, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

Gary called me on 11-22-2024 and let me know that he lost his platinum wedding band a week ago in his back yard. He was pretty confident that it was in about a 20’ by 20’ grassy area. He had searched the area for a week, even using what he called a “kid’s” metal detector, and had no luck finding the very sentimental wedding band. We agreed that I would search his yard on 11-23-2024. After he showed me the area where he believed the ring slipped off his finger while he was playing catch with his son, I turned on my detector and got to work. I had another day where luck played a huge part, not so much in finding the ring, but in the time it took to find it. In a new personal record of 38 SECONDS I found Gary’s ring. He could not believe it was found so quickly. It was the first signal with my detector and I hadn’t even moved my feet. Today was another great day helping reunite someone with their beloved treasure.

Got a call from Declan about 7:00 PM about a key fob he had lost earlier in the day in the sand at the beach. After a few questions he let me know that he had buried his key marked by his flip flops so he could go surfing, but while he was out the county beach cleaners came through, and his flip flops were gone. He suspected the key went with it, which sounded like the most reasonable outcome, but he asked if I could come to do a search anyway. I said I would leave immediately, and met him on the beach about an hour later.

Declan had found his flip flops down the beach a ways, so he took me out to that spot to begin my search. He said he had buried his keys at the top of the slope down to the water, and I could tell that the machine had cleaned right up to the edge of that slope. He had a spare key exactly like the one that was lost, so I asked him to lay it down so I could get a reading from it in order to not have to dig signals that were not even close. I then began my search not worrying about signals that were not close. Then about 100 feet from where we started I received a close signal, dug, and dumped the sand. I put my coil over the hole again, not there. I put the coil over the dumped sand, not there. As I was checking the pile Declan walked up with his light and reached right behind me, and lifted up the plastic bag with his key. It must have hooked my scoop, and flipped behind me when I dumped the sand. Needless to say he was happy, and I was excited because you could see that the machine had gone over the spot but missed his key. Great night!

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search, Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Northridge, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, Zuma Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, Southern California, and Ventura County.

Diamond Engagement Ring lost in the sand, Lavallette NJ (OB3) recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jersey shore ring finder

I was spending the holiday weekend with my family at Island Beach State Park when I received a frantic call from Megan. She was incredibly upset, having just lost her rings in the sand moments before. While she had managed to recover two of them, her cherished engagement ring was nowhere to be found. I calmed her down, advising her to stop digging and simply wait, assuring her I would be there in a few hours. Since Megan and her family were staying for the day and had secured the area with their beach gear, there wasn’t an urgent rush. Had the situation been different, I would have dropped everything and headed there immediately.

When I arrived, Megan pointed out the area where the ring had gone missing, and I wasted no time getting to work. Initially, I had to clear a few loud signals that were overpowering the delicate tone of her ring. Once those were taken care of, my metal detector honed in on the ring’s unique signal. Within seconds, her engagement ring was safely in my scoop. The relief on her face made the search all the more rewarding!

Diamond Wedding Ring Set Lost in Surf at a Orange County Beach Found and Returned to Owner

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

If you need help or advice on how to find a ring or other important metal item, call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


*** Barbie was staying with her family in the summer beach front rentals in Newport Beach, CA. While playing catch with a football in ankle deep water both her diamond engagement ring and wedding ring came off her finger falling into the surf. Immediately the rings disappeared in the saturated wet sand.

She was able to contact me shortly after the loss, after someone on the beach gave her my contact information. The tide was too high to do a search when she called me. We did have time to determine the general location. The next low tide would be 2am, so I told her I would be there to do a thorough grid search at low tide.

These types searches are not the same as searching a field , because beaches have various forms of sand movement. It is possible that as much as a foot of sand can move in which would put the ring out of the detection range of most metal detectors. Sometimes people misjudge how deep they were in  the water. I try to explain to people what our chances are,  before giving them false hope.

This was one was one of the good conditions that made this a successful search. It still took about an hour of slow methodical grid searching in the dark of night to find the two rings. It gets a little discouraging because there were no other metal signals and it’s difficult to keep a straight line in shallow water. It’s a game of inches with small items like a ring there’s always a chance of missing the item.

I had found both rings within two feet of each other. I did sleep in that morning, 2 am searches take some recovery time. Some time after 9 am the next morning I sent Barbie a photo of the rings. We met a couple hours after the call for the return.

Don’t waste your time renting or buying a cheap metal detector. If you don’t have any experience operating one, it could be very frustrating. Let me come to you with the best equipment available and experience for recovering all types of sentimental keepsakes. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. Mobile metal detecting service .. 949-500-2136
