Hoppy Endings….

While Jim was setting up the Easter egg hunt for the grandchildren yesterday his gold ring came off. Although often told he is too old to participate, I told him he was never too old to search for gold. The plan was hatched to meet this morning before the festivities began. Waiting a few to let a brief rainfall pass we wondered where the ring egg-scaped to, I mentioned that the ring had way more karats than the easter bunny but then what would a rabbit do with a gold ring? Laughing, I hopped into a grid search in the suspected area. Near some longer grass a good signal came thru my headphones from the metal detector. Reaching down with my Garrett carrot pin pointer it signaled, revealing Jim’s gold ring! Handing it to him I said… Well, this Easter turned out to be all it’s cracked up to be….. and somebunny needs some chocolate!

Lost – Ladies Silver Diamond Engagement Ring, Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

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!

Eric and his wife had been enjoying a day on Daytona Beach.  His wife had given him her ring for safe keeping while she went in the water.  He put it on his pinky while he dosed in the warm sun listening to the crash of waves.

Just then he realized he didn’t have the ring.  He retraced his steps and found nothing.  Time to call theringfinders.com.

I pick up Eric’s call and headed to the beach.  It only took me about 20 minutes. As I drove I prayed about finding the ring.  Eric met me at the steps as I activated my Minelab Manticore.  He showed me the area where he had been.

As I began sweeping, he said, “the only other place I went to was to the trash can.”  Just then, as I headed that way, both he and I saw the glistening of the diamond in the sand!!  He ran over and picked it up.  As it turned out, sometimes rings are found without metal detectors!!  Happy Family!!

Cellphone Lost During a Car Accident .. Found One Month Later with a Metal Detector

Detecting service available to help you find important lost items… Stan the MetalDetector Man ..Call or text  949-500-2136


***  I received a text message from the parents, whose daughter was involved in an auto accident more than 4 weeks ago.  Their daughter’s phone was lost on the roadside and they had the location pin from the Find My phone app, They made a couple unsuccessful trips searching an area just off the side of pacific coast highway across from Bolsa Chica Beach.

I was sent a text with latitude / longitude coordinates that were taken just after the accident. He told me it was very important to retrieve the phone. I entered the co ordinates in my gps device. The next day I drove to the general location and was able to locate phone using my metal detector.

Cellphones often get picked up by pedestrians in public areas because they can’t hide as well as smaller objects. I’m getting more confident finding cellphones if they have an active Find My phone app and it shows battery life with a gps location.

I sent a text message with a photo of the phone. The parents texted me back with a location to meet and pick up the phone. This recovery was done completely by texting messages and It wasn’t necessary for them to meet me at the location of the loss.  I do not always need a person to meet me at the search location, if they have gps co ordinates.   Sometimes I know the area well enough to save clients the trouble of meeting me. Of course it’s always better to have them see how thorough I search and understand how a professional metal detecting search is performed.

Lost – Ladies heirloom 14K gold ring, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

If you’ve lost ring anywhere in Central Florida…

Call Detector Ed 757-419-0299

On Saturday, I was just getting ready to throw burgers on the grill when my phone buzzed.  My friend Daniel tagged me in a Facebook post.  A lady had lost her ring, handed down from her late grandma and the tide was coming in.  I knew I had to go try to find it.

Before I started driving to the beach, I prayed that God would help me.  Then I FB messaged Karyn who posted that her friend lost her grandmother’s ring.  When she called me, she mentioned that she had left, and the lady had left also.  I didn’t have much to go on, but she sent me a picture of where they were parked.

In a short time, I arrived on scene and a group of guys approached me and said, “are you here to look for the ring?”  I was relieved!  They gave me a rough idea of where the ring was lost.

Within 5 minutes I located a great signal with the Minelab Manticore!  It was the ring!  A beautiful 14k gold ring with an inscription from her grandpa to her grandma and the date…June 1941!  This treasure was going back to where it belonged.

The owner, Kym called me later that day and I was able to give it to her a few days after!  She was incredibly grateful.  God is Good!

Lost Gold Ring Found Inside Vehicle in New Baltimore Michigan

Stow-Away Survivor……

Stowaway/Stow-Away situations come in many forms, those involving people usually end tragically but a few live to talk about it. People who Stow-Away items hoping to return later to recover them are often victims of time or an unforeseen occurrence which prevents that from happening. What happened to Jacob’s fiancée’s ring? Would it suffer the same fate of never knowing where it disappeared? It all started when Jacob and fiancée were visiting family to work on a project. With overalls on the Fiancée was eager to get to work and spend time with the family. Moving in and out of the house, playing tug of war with the dogs, she thought she had the ring on out with the dogs and then she thought she put her ring into one of the overalls pockets. End of the day had her changing out of the overalls and driving to dinner with her thinking she put the ring back on. Next morning the ring was nowhere to be found. For over a week they looked for the ring with no luck. On site I metal detected with my MXT metal detector over the bare looking ground and a few leaf piles where she remembers being. No Signals. The only place yet to check was her vehicle and the overalls. When she arrived and found out the ring was still missing, she started to get really stressed. I scanned over the overalls with no ring signal. Proceeding to the vehicle I was reaching around and felt a round shaped object in a difficult place to access. Changing up my position I was able to reach further and grasp the whole object, which happened to be her ring! She screamed with excitement when I handed it to her and Jacob exclaimed it’s been riding around with us all week! I said yes!,,,,, a successful recovery of a stow-away you’ll be able to talk about for years to come!

Lost – Men’s Gold/Platinum Heirloom Ring – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Here I was before dawn, on the edge of the ocean looking for a ring that I was not called to find.  On the drive over, I prayed that I could locate the ring.  I had seen it listed on Tuesday evening, but I had to be out of town on Wednesday.  I contacted Allison the previous evening and she said that her husband could call me at 7:30 am.  While I was waiting for the call, I scoured the dead low-tide sand with my trusty Minelab Manticore with the led light on.

When Cody called, he said they were there on Monday and set up between the stairs and ADA walk-down ramp.  They went into the water but not very deep and only went about 50 feet North.  I told him that I was confident that if it was there, I would find it.

I covered all the water areas first because the tide was coming in fast.  I proceeded up the beach and into the area where they had been sitting on the beach.  Nothing but a few coins and some trash.

By this time, it was almost 9 am and I was detecting the area between the stairs for the 3rd time.  As I looked under the stairs, I sensed that I should go to the other side.  An immediate and solid hit!  It was the ring, where it should not have been but was.

All rings have a story and this one was no different; passed down from Allison’s late father!  Later that day I had the privilege to give the ring to Cody!  God is good-he had guided me when I needed him most.

A Love Ring’s Journey: A Beach Recovery Story

The waves lapped gently at the Ocean City shoreline as Ken made his way to the water’s edge. It was supposed to be a perfect weekend getaway with his girlfriend, soaking up the New Jersey sun and salt air. But sometimes life has other plans.

Ken had just wanted to rinse the stubborn beach sand from his hands. A simple task — until he felt that heart-stopping moment when his Cartier LOVE ring, usually snug on his finger, wasn’t there anymore. The panic set in immediately.

The couple spent frantic minutes sifting through the sand, their romantic afternoon turning into an increasingly desperate search. The ring could have been anywhere: in the soft sand where they’d been sitting, or worse, pulled away by the ocean’s persistent tide.

That’s when they remembered hearing about Ring Finders South Jersey, finding lost rings in Ocean City, New Jersey. One phone call later, help was on the way.

Within fifteen minutes, their metal-detecting expert arrived, ready to tackle the search. The first sweep of the ocean proved fruitless, but experience had taught him not to give up so easily. Moving back to where the couple had been lounging earlier, it took just a few passes with the detector. The gleaming Cartier ring appeared in the scoop, safe and sound.

What could have been a weekend remembered for loss became a story of relief and gratitude. The couple’s smiles said it all: sometimes the best moments are not the ones we plan. The ones where things work out just when we need them to.

If you have lost a ring read some helpful advice on how to find it here Ocean City Lost Ring.

Lost White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring- Found in Grove City, PA by Metal Detecting Specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting 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 text from Madeleine that she had lost her ring is a pasture while building fence. I asked her to give me a call and she provided me with some more information and as luck would have it I was able to head out right away. During our initial conversation she asked me if I ate meat and told me her family had a cattle farm and she would bring me some steaks. So when I was packing up my gear I threw a small cooler in the back, more about that in a bit… About an hour and a half later I met her at the farm where she lost the ring. I looked at the sprawling pastures where she said they had put in about 60 acres or so of fencing. At that point I thought to myself, I am going to be here a while…lol! We talked a bit and I got a few additional bits of information. She had put her ring in her vest pocket with the control for her dog and only removed it from her pocket in two spots and we both thought that logically those could be the places where the ring dropped out. She has also bought a metal detector and walked the fence line but did not check the area where they were working initially. So Madeleine handed me my call out fee and two awesome looking steaks that I deposited in the cooler. She headed out and I started to work.

I started griding the area where they were working with the skid loader.  Back and forth I found a few nails, shell casings and smal random pieces of metal. I had gotten a few good sounds but no ring. Then I got another hit and checked again with my pinpointer…nice steady tone on the top. I parted the grass and there was the ring. It had been about 20 minutes to a half hour. I sent Madeleine a text…hope that you haven’t made it too far, with a picture of the ring and jokingly asking if this was hers. However the cell service was terrible and only the first text made it through before my phone rang. She asked what as up and I said oh you only got my first text and then the others came through with the picture and her response – Yes that’s it! We talked for a few minutes about arrangements for her to get the ring and now that the hard work was done I asked her about the old farm house down the road. As anyone who metal detects knows old farm houses are pretty high on the bucket list as permissions and they can be hard to get. So I inquired if I could look around for a bit before heading back down Interstate 79 and I would drop her ring off. She gave me permission but wanted to come up and get the ring as soon as she could. I met her at the old farm house and as you can see from the picture she was smiling as soon as she pulled in. I was happy to have found her ring, especially as quickly as I did and return it. It was a pleasure to meet and help another kind and extremely generous client!

In case you were wondering, I did not find anything other than a few clad coins at the old farm house but the opportunity was awesome. And after doing some research I found out the signifcance of the « steaks ». Madeleine’s family has a wagyu beef farm. To me at the time it did not mean much – the steaks looked great…however after checking things out I now know the significance of wagyu beef (if you don’t know what it is…look it up) and WOW! So while it has been a really busy weekend and I have not had the opportunity to grill up those steak I am really looking forward to doing so and VERY MUCH appreciate the added bonus and generosity!

Kiss the Blarney Gold!

Excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and with a spring in his step, Walt decided to do some chores around the yard before enjoying some fine food and drink. Upon completion he noticed his gold ring fell off. As we were walking to the backyard, I looked around and didn’t see any rainbows or leprechauns, so I randomly picked an area to start metal detecting. Using my MXT bigfoot coil attached to my shillelagh I started to grid search. Within a few minutes I got a nice signal and sound on the metal detector. Reaching down into the leaves revealed his concealed gold ring! Lifting it out I handed it to Walt who kissed the gold ring and said, May the road always rise to meet you and wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Property Pin located in West Kelowna BC

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

June moved into her West Kelowna home 1 year ago, now it is time to start renovations, starting with a fence. However it is not a new home and the Survey pins are hidden, June found me on « The Ringfinders » and gave me a call for assistance. I responded the next day with my Metal Detector. the lot is an odd shape so the backyard was difficult to locate, the front yard had a large tree on both fronts, the one on the left was overgrown, the one on the right was large but groomed back. I stated searching by the utilities and Water shut off. A few old targets, but no pin so I moved around the supposedly neighbours tree and there it was 12 inches away from the tree. Now June can get a lot blueprint and measure from that pin.
