***  I received a call from Josh as I was driving home from the grocery store. He was on the sand at Newport Beach, CA. where he lost his wedding ring. I was only blocks away from his location and always have my metal detectors with me.

I had him wait at the location and met him a few minutes after his call. When we met on the beach he told me that he had his ring in the pocket of his beach chair. After he walked to his car his ring was not in the chair pocket. Most the times when rings are lost from chair cupholders or pockets, they fall out when the chair is first picked up. This time the ring was right where he had been sitting on the beach. Josh was happy to save time searching for the ring with the proper equipment and an experienced metal detector operator. He can continue his vacation here in Newport Beach before returning home in Arizona.

Heirloom Found Fast: Lost Father’s Ring Recovered in 15 Minutes

Brian and Bill Leasure celebrating ring recovery

NORTHERN NEW JERSEY — Brian watched his gold ring fling off his finger into some tall brush while doing yard work at his home , but this wasn’t just any ring, it belonged to his late father.

After realizing it wouldn’t be a quick recovery, he reached out for help, hoping it hadn’t disappeared for good.

When I arrived, the search area was thick and uneven, the kind of ground that can swallow a ring in seconds and hold it for good. Using a tight grid search, I worked slowly through the grass with a small coil until I got a solid signal.

About 15 minutes in, I spotted it, twisted up in the grass and nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.

The relief on Brian’s face said it all.

Another meaningful recovery in Northern NJ, and another family story preserved.

The moment the ground gave up the ring

Two sentimental rings lost in Berkeley park…Found!!!

Bay Area Ring Finders: Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

It’s nice to know that people care.  When Lydia lost two very sentimental rings given to her by her sister, she told me that at least 10 individuals assisted her in trying to locate them.  The rings were loose fitting and came off when she softly tossed a ball in the park, surely they shouldn’t have traveled far.  At last, the search was called off and Lydia was focused on an alternative solution.

She set out to rent or buy a metal detector, but couldn’t find a local source for quick deployment.  That’s when she stumbled upon my information in association with THERINGFINDERS.  The following morning I received a text message asking if I had availability to come to Berkeley to locate a missing ring.  I quickly called to let her know I could be available anytime after 3:30pm and would gladly come recover the ring.  That’s when I learned it was actually 2 missing rings. She let me know that the search area would be small and she knew pretty well where she was when they came off.  She would be right!

I arrived a bit after 4pm ready for a hunt. Lydia was waiting in the park along with her infant son, a young nephew, her mother, and a dog (or two).  She showed me the area and even performed a sample toss of the ball.  As I got underway, the first thing I noticed was that the park was noisy, that is, there was an abundance of metallic objects in the ground.  Then, boom…a perfect gold signal!  The problem was, the beautiful heavy gold earring that was recovered did not belong to Lydia (someone didn’t find THERINGFINDERS). A few minutes later, another really great signal!  This time I knew without a doubt it was the first of two rings and the second would be close at hand. Meer moments later, I was handing both rings back to a very relieved and grateful owner.  We had made the recovery!

Remembering what I said above, it’s nice to know that people care… As I collected my equipment ready to leave, an older gentleman walked up with an very vintage Bounty Hunter Coin Master detector.  Lydia seemed to know him and he may have been in the park helping the day before.  He commented about my Equinox and congratulated us on the recovery of the two rings.  He then set off to explore the area with his machine.  I assisted with a Garrett Pin-pointer and he produced a penny that we provided to Lydia’s nephew as « buried treasure. »  I was glad to have met Lydia and to have played a roll in the story of these two sentimental rings.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wayne, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Rich was enjoying the spring weather with his wife and young son at a park in Wayne, PA. After some action on the playground he took a break at a picnic table. While sitting he felt his gold wedding band slip off and drop straight down into the grass under the picnic table. After a frustrating hour of searching he gave up and called me after finding me online in The Ring Finder directory. I was 30 minutes away and told him I would see him at 6:30 pm that same day. When I got there the first thing we did was move the heavy picnic table out of the way…then I set my machine for « gold only ». Less than 5 minutes later…his ring was back on his finger! He couldn’t believe he couldn’t find with his eyes but in his defense the ring did blend in with the yellow grass!!!

Mrs Rosa was sitting in the large screened in porch/pool area of her daughters home and she was brushing dog hair from the sleeve of her sweater when all of a sudden her diamond ring flew off of her finger and she heard it hit something and then it completely disappeared. She tried searching the best she could but at 82 years of age it was just a bit hard to look under all the outdoor furniture and other tight spaces. Her daughter even helped look as well and after a thorough search they decided to call someone for help. Later that afternoon I met Mrs Rosa and after a 10 minute search I was able to find her lost ring behind one of the wheels of the grill.

*** Cindy’s husband walked up to me while I was detecting the surf line wet sand at Huntington Beach, Dog Beach. Cindy had just dropped her gold diamond wedding ring in the sand.

I walked over to the area thinking this was going to be easy.

I struggled to get a signal with my metal detector on the highest sensitivity setting. ( usually not necessary for wedding rings )

After 10 minutes I received a very weak target tone in my earphones. A quick dig with my sand scoop revealed her wedding ring. You can see in the photo, it was a custom designed ring. It was white gold with 2 diamonds and was open, which interfered with the signal received by my metal detector. Sometimes I remember to as if the ring is a normal ring design. The end result was that the ring was recovered and Cindy and her husband were able to enjoy the rest of their day at the beach.

Sydney called me to ask for help locating her lost wedding ring in her yard. Apparently she had taken her little one outside and let him walk in the grass and as he toddled around Sydney would allow him to hold on to her hands to steady himself and a half hour later she realized that her wedding ring was no longer on her finger. She frantically searched her yard hoping to find it and later thought about using a metal detector and that led her to theringfinders.com and one of these stories. I was able to meet Sydney later on that day and she walked around the house showing me areas where her little on had walked. At one point we stopped to talk and as we were talking I glanced down and spotted Sydney’s lost ring just laying in the grass. I told Sydney, « Hey look…there is your ring! » The sun was reflecting just perfectly off of her lost ring and I was able to just bend down and pick it up and both her and her mom teared up and we just stood there stunned and super thankful! It is always a HUGE BLESSING to find a lost ring and to able to place it in it’s rightful owners hand!

Lost something recently or even years ago…and need help? Call a ring finder near you!

Tantalum Wedding Band Lost During Camp Out in Centreville, Alabama… FOUND!

Contact:

On Thursday (March 19, 2026) I received a text from Dom stating he had lost his tantalum wedding band during a birthday camp out at a friend’s house in Centreville, Alabama that prior Saturday.  Dom, his wife, Rebecca, and friends had spent hours looking for it both visually and with metal detectors.  Centreville is near Tuscaloosa, which is about 2.5 hours from me.  To potentially save a 5-hour drive, I gave Dom some tips to look on Friday.  Dom contacted me back Friday evening and said they still couldn’t find it and asked for my assistance.  I was free Saturday and more than happy to help, so I agreed to drive down from Huntsville and meet them at 11am.

I met up with Dom and Rebecca Saturday morning.  Dom began walking me through all the areas he was at – unpacking the car, walking path, fire pit, and camping areas.  I started where he unpacked/packed the car and worked my way out, stopping anywhere Dom remembered.  We made it out to the round metal fire pit and Dom said he was tending the fire.  I asked if they had moved the pit to search and he said no.  I said let’s move it in case the ring rolled underneath.  We moved it and it wasn’t directly under, but as soon as I stepped back, I caught a glimpse of a circle laying in some ash on the ground.  I glanced up at Dom and said, “I think we got it, brother!”  He said, “no way!”  Dom came over and had trouble spotting it at first, because rings will easily hide in the grass/vegetation and play tricks with our eyes.  But once he saw it, Dom was so happy and relieved.  He called over to Rebecca and the homeowner, Hailey (thanks for letting us search!) to let them know the good news.  Smiles and high fives all around!  We all enjoyed some friendly conversation, and I told them about some of my prior searches.

This was my first time finding a tantalum ring.  For my Ring Finder friends, it was a 63 on the Equinox 900.  As always, thank you, God, for another successful recovery and safe trip!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

LOST 24k WEDDING RING IN MORRISVILLE, NC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Received a call that a young man had lost his 24k wedding ring while playing volleyball. They thought he lost it in the sand. I jumped in the truck and made the almost 2 hour drive.

I get there, get the story and begin my search. I searched the entire volleyball sand pit area 3-4 times and wasn’t coming up with the ring. One of the ladies had a 24k gold and it rang up a 91. I couldn’t believe it rang up that high until I found his ring.

I expanded my search area. After about an hour to hour and a half I went near the grass edge to the higher grass area in the direction of the water and I get a 94 signal! I look down and I can see a gold ring! Apprenatly the ring had bounced off the ball and went to his right about 10-15 feet!!

Another recovery in the books! This one was my 100th ring recovery since joining “The Ring Finders!”

*************************************
Total ring recoveries since joining “The Ring Finders” 100 total!

Ring count for 2026: 6 (6 – recoveries)

Metal Detector Man finds lost rings and other metal items lost at beaches, parks, yards or any place where a metal detector can be used .. call or text Stan at 949-500-2136


*** I was metal detecting at Huntington State Beach when I was approached by Cindy. She had dropped her silver ring in the sand and wanted to know if I could help her find it.

The loss happened just minutes before she saw me on the beach. These are the most successful types of searches. I was able to find Cindy’s ring minutes after scanning the area where she marked a circle in the sand.
