Demetri contacted me about his lost gold ring and explained how he even purchased a cheap metal detector and spent a few frustrating hours searching his yard and only found a handful of junk. He had done some yard work and showed me all the places where he spent time digging and trimming bushes and cutting roots to make way for a good sized above ground planter box. I got busy grid searching for his lost gold ring and I quickly covered the key areas in the front of the house and then proceeded to the side and eventually to the back yard…and his ring was just not there. I asked Demetri more questions about where else he went on the day his ring went missing and he remembered that he had played with his kids in the neighbors front yard. So I figured why not give it a try. Again I began a systematic grid search and on the fourth pass I got a good signal that registered in the gold range and low and behold there was Demetri’s lost gold ring…just laying there in the grass!

Demetri was overjoyed and could not stop smiling! Maybe you have lost a ring or something special and need a ring finders help! Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk.

Lost 2 day old gold/diamond ring….Found in Manteca!!!

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

Chet was performing work on his quarter acre property in Manteca, CA.  He was moving around old tractors and a trailer full of steel beams.  At the end of the day, he made the discovery that the ring he had just received two days earlier for Valentine’s Day was now missing somewhere on the property.  He did a fair amount of searching for himself and even borrowed a metal detector from a friend with no luck.

When he contacted me through theringfinders.com he admitted to have not been able to sleep and even called himself a « desperate man ».  He felt awful when he had to come clean about the lost ring, but after talking to me, he was looking forward to a brighter day.

Well, that day came.  I performed a hasty search of the target area.  It was loud and there was trash everywhere. After 45 minutes, I decided to set up my grids and put on the tiny coil for purpose of better target separation.  I was in my second « swim lane » when I got a booming double beeper.  A perfect 13 in every direction.  We had made the recovery!!!

Just barely under the surface and very near our first search area I moved some tree clippings to reveal this gold and diamond beauty.  It was then that I turned it over to a very thankful Chet before taking some celebratory photos and cleaning up my grid.

It was a joyous afternoon for us both and I thank Chet for his good conversation and fantastic fruit he provided.

Newlyweds Lost Engagement Ring lost in Backyard in Sevierville TN

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Recovered After Weeks Missing in Backyard
There’s something extra special about helping a newlywed recover a lost engagement ring — especially when they’ve only been married three months.
I received a call from a young lady named Kendall who was understandably upset. Her engagement ring had been missing for about two to three weeks. She had lost it somewhere in her backyard and despite searching multiple times, it was nowhere to be found.
Like many people would, Kendall and her husband decided to take matters into their own hands. They purchased a metal detector and carefully searched the yard themselves. Unfortunately, without experience using the equipment — and not knowing exactly what signals to listen for — they had no luck locating the ring.
After weeks of frustration, they turned to the internet for help. That’s when they came across The Ring Finders and found my name, Phillip Mendez, listed as a local ring finder. They reached out, hopeful but understandably nervous.
When I arrived, Kendall showed me the areas where she believed the ring might have slipped off. Newly landscaped yards and thick grass can easily hide a small gold band, even in plain sight. After listening carefully to her story and narrowing down the most likely zones, I began a methodical grid search.
About 30 minutes later, I got a strong, clean signal.
Just beneath the surface of the grass was Kendall’s engagement ring.
The look on her face when she saw it again — pure relief and joy — is why I do what I do. Three months into marriage is far too soon to replace a ring filled with memories and meaning. Being able to reunite her with the exact ring that marked the beginning of her forever was incredibly rewarding.
If you’ve lost something valuable — especially a sentimental item like an engagement ring — don’t give up hope. Even after weeks outside, rings can still be found with the right equipment and experience.
Another happy ending, and another reminder that sometimes the right search makes all the difference.

Ocean City Nj Lost Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

Need to find a lost ring in Ocean City, NJ?

Don’t Wait!

Call 215-850-0188

Losing a ring at the beach can feel devastating and overwhelming in an instant. That is exactly what happened to Josephine in Ocean City. She had been enjoying a beautiful day on the beach with family and friends when, somewhere between relaxing and walking along the shoreline, her ring slipped off. She searched the sand herself but had no luck finding it. The beach is wide, and the sand constantly shifts with wind and foot traffic. By the time she left the ring was still missing.

The next morning, we received a call from Josephine asking for help. She explained where she believed the ring had been lost, and fortunately she had a good memory of the general area. That detail can make all the difference in a beach recovery. We scheduled a meeting right away and headed to Ocean City. When we arrived, she showed us the exact stretch of sand. Although the tide had changed slightly since the day before, the loss appeared to be in the dry sand above the waterline, giving us a focused starting point.

We began by setting up a careful grid of the area to ensure complete coverage. Grid searching prevents missed sections and increases the chances of success. Metal detecting on the beach requires patience and precision, as signals can come from deep beneath the surface. Bottle caps and pull tabs often mimic valuable targets. Within a short time, we received a strong, clean signal. One scoop of sand later, a beautiful ring appeared. Josephine’s reaction was pure joy and relief. Another lost ring was returned, creating another happy ending along the beaches of Ocean City, NJ.

Vintage David Yurman Silver Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike was referred to me by fellow Ring Finder, Dave Milsted. He was working on snow clean up at a home outside Philadelphia during the recent storm. While working in the back alley behind the home he felt and heard his large, silver, vintage David Yurman ring fly off his finger. He looked for a while but it fell in the deep snow and a metal detector was needed for sure. I met him that afternoon and found the ring after a 10 minute search. Was very happy to be able to return Mike’s ring to him!

1978 Gold Class Ring Found and Returned to Owner by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Indiana, PA

  • 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 found this ring before the snow started to fall but had to wait until I was able to return the ring to its owner.

I had just put a new « SILVER » cherry picking program on my minelab manticore and was taking it out to test it. I decided to go to one of my spots I have hammered over the years as a true test. I started to comb the area and picked out a nickel on my first hole (the program does notch in nickel signals). I continued moving on and hit another solid 25 and figured it was another nickel. I turned my plug and to my amazement it was a gold 1978 class ring from the other side of the state. The bottom part of the ring was broken off but I was able to recover the small piece from the hole as well. I examined the ring and inside I found legible initials. From there in the field I got out my phone and googled the school district. A nice lady from the school answered but told me they could not help me. I was truly puzzled and I went back to detecting.

Once I got home I tried to locate a yearbook and initially was unable to do so. I did find an alumni page are reached out to one of the admins. He said he would help me. In the meantime I continued to search and did find a yearbook (finally!). I located the person I thought it was and conducted a google search and found contact information for the person. I sent them an email and then it was time to wait. After a short time the alumni site admin. confirmed my suspicions of the potential owner. Finally I received a response and they did lose their ring and until now had been a mystery as to how and where.

Unfortunately, returning the ring in person would not be possible. The owner lives on the west coast. So, at the owner’s request, I took a trip to the post office and mailed it back. While I love the reaction an in person return brings knowing I was able to locate the owner and do the right thing in returning it was more than enough.

Metal detector used to find property markers in Chuluota, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Robert called me and asked about locating some property markers surrounding his house in Chuluota, Florida. I said I would be glad to help him so we set a date and I spent the next day thinking about what all I would need to find his 5 property stakes. I asked Robert for a copy of his property lay out and determined I would need some wooden stakes of my own, some bright colored flags, a hammer, a small shovel, a 200 foot tape measure and of coarse my trusty Garrett AT Max metal detector and my Garrett Pro pin pointer AT. Roberts neighbor had a nice white PVC fence along the side of his property and had correctly installed it leaving Robert’s corner marker fairly easy to locate. The two pins by the front sidewalk were also easy to find and then we went to the back left corner where there were two pins…buried under a pile of dead brush! With the tape measure and a little old fashion calculations we were able to uncover the last two pins and Mr Robert was very relieved and thankful to have them all found and well marked!

Do you need your property stakes or water valve located? Give me a call or text me ASAP and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Lost Wedding Ring at Newport Beach, CA. Found and Returned to Owner

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Timing is important to be successful finding a ring at the beach.. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man ..


*** Karla was enjoying a day at Newport Beach, CA. when she lost her diamond engagement ring in the sand. She had taken off her ring to apply sunscreen, setting the ring on her towel for the moment. Something distracted her and she didn’t remember to put it back on her finger. While picking up her items to leave the beach, she realize that her ring was missing. Of course, she took time to try to find it by dragging her fingers through the sand which proved to be frustrating.

She went to her smart phone and googled how to find a ring in the sand and eventually found my contact information. I was able to meet her on the beach shortly after we talked. Our conversation was short, once she told me, she lost it in the sand, and she was still at the location. That was all I needed to know. It is more important to meet her on the beach as soon as possible, than to waste time discussing the small details.

After so many years of finding sentimental keepsakes for people, I’m used to seeing the despair and people’s faces when they think they’ve lost the item forever, especially wedding rings. Karla was no exception. The first thing I told her was, not to worry, this should be an easy recovery.

It only took a few minutes, and I had her beautiful diamond ring in my scoop.  The success of this search was because Karla realized her ring was missing before she left the beach. Secondly, she did not spend too much time trying to recover the ring by hand sifting the sand. The most important thing she did was call a professional Metal Detecting service.

While metal detecting on the beach I was approached by two beautiful young ladies who asked if I could help them find a lost necklace in the dry sand. Apparently Jenna had removed her chain and wrapped it in the corner of her towel and then after a short swim she grabbed her towel to dry off and totally forgot about her necklace. The soft sand swallowed up her chain and she exclaimed.. »Now what? » And a short time later she spotted me walking along swinging my metal detector and had the courage to ask me for some help…and I am always ready and willing to help people find their lost items. It only took a few minutes to get a good solid signal and the young ladies were all smiles!
