Your keepsake could be gone forever!

This Tungsten wedding ring was lost in the dry sand during a surfing event recently at the Oceanside harbor. Fortunately I live nearby & Was able to meet him there & recover his ring within an hour of being called to find it.

He was stoked I could help,, As you can see this ring meant a lot more than metal to him being sentimental jewelry. I’m glad he found my contact info online as I always see at least a couple local hobby detectorist’s on the weekends there including YouTubers!

Lost Gold Ring with Diamonds Found in Livonia Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Sparklers in the Grass…..

As Amanda was starting to celebrate today, she started by taking a plunge into a cool pool. Shortly after a volleyball game started. After splashing around a bit, she got out, got dressed and wandered around the yard with some sparklers, the children and dogs. Sitting for a bite to eat a friend noticed her ring missing. Quite a few people ran to the pool, but the missing ring was not there. I started my grid search on the side of the yard where she had been. My MXT metal detector was quiet but then I heard a loud BOOM in the headphones! I yelled out that fireworks just sounded in my headphones! As Amanda and friends came running, I parted the grass and revealed some pretty sparklers in the form of diamonds and a gold ring hiding in the grass! Amanda was thrilled and took a few minutes to catch her breath. Now the fuse was lit to a grand celebration!

Lost and found gold wedding ring in Cobourg Ontario

Received a phone call from Parshant late last evening. He and his brother and family had spent the day at Cobourg beach when disaster struck. While playing volleyball in the water, he felt and saw his 22k gold wedding band fly off his finger while hitting the ball. After a frantic search for over an hour, they manage to find me via the Ringfinder’s website. I gathered all the required equipment and headed to Cobourg beach. The issue was that they couldn’t quite remember exactly where the ring had fallen off and ended up with a very large search area. After searching for over an hour and a half, it was now dark. I decided to come back the following morning for a fresh start. As this beach is heavily hunted by metal detectorists, and following a long weekend with Canada day festivities, I had to find this ring ASAP. Using grid markers along the shore, I was able to grid the area properly and within thirty minutes, I finally was able to scoop the ring out of the water and return it to its rightful owner this evening. Another happy ending and beautiful day at the beach. Life is good.

Huge gold chain lost and found in Apsley Ontario

Received a text from Lou yesterday about him having lost his gold chain while swimming. Lou, and his young family, had rented a cottage near Apsley on Chandos lake. While playing with the kids, he did a few dives off the dock only to realize later that his huge gold chain was no longer around his neck. After arriving early this morning and getting situated, I got in the water and went to work with my Excalibur II under water metal detector. After eliminating a few trash signals, I heard the sweet tone of gold and found his chain within ten minutes. Although the chain is very valuable due to the size and weight, it is priceless as it was given to him by his grandmother. Another happy ending.

Lost – Silver Spanish Coin Relic Pendant, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

I was just leaving the beach when I got a call from a good friend.  He had a recovery that he couldn’t do because he was traveling.  I pulled over and ask God to help me find the item.  Minutes later, I got a call from Bill.  He said his son, Tanner, had lost a silver Spanish coin pendant while wrestling with a friend in the surf.

I met Bill and his wife Renee about 15 minutes later at the scene of the crime.  We prayed on the beach to find the missing treasure.  Another detectorist, who just happened to be there, and I made pass after pass in the incoming water. (That I was not set up or dressed for).  After some time of fighting the water, we decided to let the incoming tide pass and come back a few hours before low tide.

When I arrived, I knelt and prayed.  The conditions were much better, and I was set up for a water search if need be.  I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began gridding while Bill used a Nakta Triple Score.  The entire family came with Bill this time, so I asked Tanner a barrage of questions about the location he lost it.  He was quite sure about the place where it fell, so I decided to grid perpendicular to my first search, in the same area.

A little more that half-way through the grid I got a great hit and I suspected it was the pendant.  I dug three scoops and the shiny silver coin revealed itself.  Praise the Lord!

Happy, Happy beautiful family.  Happy Father’s Day Bill!

 

Lost White Gold Ring w/Diamonds Found in Elizabeth Park, Trenton Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Slippery Slope…..

…..Only a month into their engagement, Billy and his fiancée wanted to take a few pictures in beautiful Elizabeth Park. The park boasts of gorgeous scenery and picturesque bridges spanning small water channel off the Detroit River. The park also was a spot for a few war of 1812 skirmishes and has been quite attractive to relic hunters over the years. Arriving at the park they were welcomed by a brief rainstorm. After parking, as they descended a grass slope towards a bridge, she slipped on the grass and tumbled to the bottom. Regaining composure, they made it to the bridge. After a few pics they came back towards the car on a flatter route. At the car she discovered her ring missing. Being familiar with the park I knew where the young couple had this mishap. Using my MXT metal detector I started halfway between the slope and bridge. Grid searching carefully as I got near the bridge, I got a great signal. Reaching down with my hand-held pin pointer revealed her ring! I shouted out to Billy who was about 100 feet away still combing the slope. He ran towards me and was amazed that the ring was there! Billy agreed that the recovery helps sets the stage for their marriage being able to handle any type of terrain.

Lost Smart Ring Found in Royal Oak Michigan

The One Ring to Rule Them All?…,,,,

…How about a smart ring? Some of the features include health, heart monitoring, and can track where you go, the ad mentioned. This caught Joey’s attention and for a moment his thoughts went back to one of his favorite superheroes….. The Green Lantern and his power ring…. How cool would it be to have something similar but different in the sense of helping change how he could track his health. Further reading checked all the boxes and Joey bought one. But what happed next isn’t your average superhero story. When he called and said he lost his smart ring I asked if it was so smart why did it jump off his finger? lol. He said as he was leaving a little league game it started raining and the ring was lost in a grass area near the parking lot. Using my MXT metal detector it only took a few minutes, and the ring was recovered in the grass. Joey was thrilled that the future was back on his finger, and he was ready again to simplify his life with just a touch. The question remains tho, with all this ring’s monitoring and tracking true love capabilities, are you ready to say I Do with one?

Lost and found Diamond ring in Whitby Ontario

Received a text from Shauna about her loosing her diamond and gold engagement ring. She lost it over a week ago, in her backyard, while planting her vegetable and flower beds. She had taken her ring off, not to loose it, and placed it in her pant pocket. Unfortunately, she was also using the same pocket to hold her phone. About six hours later, while having taken her phone in and out of her pocket numerous times, she realized her ring was missing. The family spent many hours looking for the ring to no avail. She also tried using a metal detector but it only sounded off fifty percent of the time (tried it once the ring was found). Once I arrived, I was able to find her ring within thirty minutes by one of the vegetable Gardens. Another happy ending. Life is good.

Lost – Gold Diamond Heirloom Ring, Ponce Inlet, FL. – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

I had been on the beach all morning when I got a call from June.  She said that her friend

Daphne had lost her grandmother‘s ring at the dog park at Ponce Inlet. I told her I was nearby

and they said they could meet me there in one hour.

 

When June and Daphne arrived, Daphne was very distraught about losing her grandmother’s

ring. They took me to the river and showed me where they had been. I gridded all the entire

area … No luck. It was very hot so I told them they could leave, and I would finish the search

and give them a call if I had any questions.

 

They had only been gone about five minutes when (in my best Columbo fashion) I called June

and asked her when they had noticed the ring was missing. She said they had actually pulled

over in a Truist bank and checked for it on the way home. I told her I was getting nothing at the

dog park and that she might want to go to the bank and check the parking lot. She said it

couldn’t be there because she would’ve noticed it

 

Five minutes later I got a call from Daphne saying they had found the ring in the bank parking

lot…broken but repairable.

 

The ring was not found with a metal detector, but nevertheless… Mission accomplished!!!

MY BEST RECOVERY, A LOST GOLD & SILVER HOARD FOUND

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)

Barry who claimed to be eccentric, buried his stash of 30 gold Maple Leafs, 40 Quarter oz Gold  coins, 1500 Silver Maple Leafs,  and various other coins under his patio in boxes and bags, he went to retrieve some of them that he buried shallow on the edge of the patio. After digging for a couple of hours and his hands all blistered, he got a friend with a metal detector to help him locate the coins with no  success. Now he is devastated that they can not be found, he searched the internet and found me, asking if I could assist him. I drove the over 100k to his home and had a lengthy conversation with him, as he told me that he had talked about the coins with his neighbour. I then crawled under his patio with my metal detector not feeling very confident. After crawling around for 20 minutes and digging a few nails I got a fairly decent signal, digging down around 6 or 7 inches I saw a garbage bag and dug around it only to hit a bright yellow monster box that holds silver maple leafs. We were both excited and after detecting and digging  around, I found the bulk of his coins in plastic coin tubes, except the ones we suspect his neigbour found. What a great guy, his intent is to donate the coins to various Children`s Charities.
