Metal detector rental finds lost engagement ring in Lake Weir, Ocklawaha Florida!

Lost a ring or something special and need someone who specializes in using a metal detector to help? My name is Mike McInroe and I am a metal detector recovery specialist and can help you find what you thought was lost forever. Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Dillan and his fiancee were enjoying a swim in Lake Weir along with some friends when all of a sudden he hears his fiancee yell out that her engagement ring just came off of her finger and fell into the water. They were swimming in four or five feet deep water and they tried going under and running their fingers through the sand but after an hour or so they gave up and decided to find someone with a metal detector who could help. Online they came across theringfinders.com web site and my number and gave me a call. The next day I met Dillan and his fiancee and thankfully they were able to show me…almost to the exact spot…where the ring was dropped. They even took a picture with someone standing in the water right where it happened. Which of course made my job a whole lot easier. Whenever I do a wading water search I use pvc poles and set them in a square around the target area and then do a grid search back and forth moving 2 separate markers to keep track of where I am going and where I have been. After 20 minutes I got a perfect white gold ring signal and after one scoop with my Extreme scoop I shook the sand out and there in the bottom was Dillan’s fiancees lost engagement ring! This special ring was an heirloom ring that was passed down to Dillan’s fiancee and they were super happy to have it back. I gave them one of my silicone ring adjusters to add to the back of the ring and then reminded them to leave their jewelry in the car next time they go for a swim…and they agreed whole heartedly!

It contained a money clip and an Air Tag. I met Yami and her husband the next morning at the construction site and I began a systematic grid search over the areas where he thought were most likely.

** Susan lost a very sentimental pendant in the sand at Newport Beach, CA. She had been running to catch a ball near where her friends had set up their beach towels and umbrella for a fun day at the beach, when her necklace broke.

Someone on the beach saw everybody searching the sand and told them that they  could find a metal detecting service online.They didn’t know such a thing existed.

I was contacted and arrived at Newport Beach soon after talking with her.. A half hour into the search I located her special dime size pendant.. It was a happy ending to a day that was looking like she was never going to see her pendant again..

Find a ring in Mamaroneck! – Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!

Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797

This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.

She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.

Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.

A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.

When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.

As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”

I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.

“I GOT IT!”

Yeah… I yelled.

Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.

I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.

Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…

“I found it!”

Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.

So today somehow turned into two happy endings. 😉

Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. 😂

One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.

You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.

Lost Large 21K Gold Chain in the Sand at Marina Del Rey Beach Found and Returned

If you need help finding a valuable in the sand, call an experienced metal detectorist. Call or text Stan the Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


*** Late one evening, I received a call from a man named Eli who had lost a beautiful 3-ounce, 21K gold necklace at Marina del Rey. He contacted me around 7 PM, and because the necklace was lost in the dry sand, I knew the search needed to happen as quickly as possible.

Unlike rings or small pendants that often sink beneath the sand, a gold chain can sometimes remain partially visible and could easily be spotted and picked up by someone walking by. Waiting until the next day would also increase the risk of losing it forever, since the city maintenance crews regularly sift and rake the beach each morning.

I drove to Marina del Rey and met Eli at the beach around 10 PM in the dark. After searching the area with my metal detector, we were finally able to recover his beautiful gold necklace that same evening.

Eli was extremely happy and relieved to have such a valuable and meaningful piece returned to him before it was gone for good

Lost Sterling Silver Ring Found in Lake Orion Michigan

Contact:

Green With Laughter…

Got a text from Jerry asking if I could find a lost ring in some ivy, I asked is it poison ivy? He quickly said no just regular ivy. Seems that his wife Terri was throwing yard debris down the embankment next to a huge patch of ivy and her ring came off. The ring is 20 years old and has been with the couple as they have clung to each other, climbed to success together and regrown over time, similar to ivy. I set up my MXT metal detector and starter to scan a grid pattern and got a few pieces of foil. Nearing mid-slope, I got a nice signal in the range where silver would be identified of the metal detector meter. Reaching thru some ivy I separated a few leaves and saw Terri’s ring sitting on a deep green ivy leaf. Lifting it up Jerry saw it and started moving quickly towards me almost falling headfirst down the embankment. Regaining his footing, Terri walked out onto the deck to see what all the excitement was about and couldn’t believe her ring was found! Jerry rushed over to place it on her finger and as she started jumping up and down Jerry said thank Jonathan not me! Now with all smiles on deck Jerry and Terri can return to the « ivy league » of their own!

Ocean City Bachelorette Weekend Saved After Sentimental Necklace Recovery

Special occasions create lifelong memories, which is why losing a sentimental piece of jewelry can feel devastating.

That was exactly the situation Alexa faced during a bachelorette weekend in Ocean City, New Jersey.

Alexa and her friends had spent the day relaxing on the beach and enjoying the beautiful Jersey Shore weather. Like many beachgoers, they brought chairs, coolers, and personal belongings to enjoy a carefree afternoon by the ocean.

Unbeknownst to Alexa, her sentimental necklace had been placed in the cup holder of her beach chair.

After leaving the beach and returning to their rental home, she realized the necklace was missing.

Panic quickly set in.

The group immediately headed back to the beach and searched the area where they had spent the day. Unfortunately, finding a small piece of jewelry in the sand without specialized equipment is extremely difficult.

Luckily, a nearby beach visitor suggested contacting Ring Finders South Jersey.

I received the call and headed directly to Ocean City.

When I arrived, Alexa explained where the group had been sitting and provided key details about the necklace. Using professional metal detecting equipment and years of experience recovering lost jewelry on South Jersey beaches, I narrowed down the search area.

Within minutes, my detector produced a strong signal.

After carefully checking the spot, the necklace was located safely beneath the sand.

The reaction from Alexa and her friends was priceless. What had started as a stressful situation quickly became one of the best memories of the weekend.

Recoveries like this demonstrate why acting quickly is so important after losing jewelry on the beach. Tides, foot traffic, and shifting sand can make recovery more challenging over time.

At RingFindersSouthJersey.com, I help residents and visitors recover lost rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches, and other valuables throughout Ocean City and the Jersey Shore.

If you’ve lost something valuable in the sand, don’t give up hope. Professional metal detecting services can often recover items that seem impossible to find.

A quick call to 215-850-0188 can save your lost ring!

Another 5 Star Review!

So thankful to have found John!! An hour after leaving the beach, I discovered that my necklace had fallen out of the pouch in my beach chair. Thankfully when I went back to look for it, a couple nearby recommended we call the “ring guy”. John was there in about 30 minutes and was efficient, kind, and professional. He found my necklace in under 15 minutes!!
Can’t recommend him enough if you’ve lost something!!
Thank you John!!

turn a heartbreaking loss into a successful recovery.

LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

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

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.

Should I rent a metal detector to find my lost ring at Port Hueneme Beach?

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Port Hueneme Beach — Against the Clock

Metal detecting ring recovery — Port Hueneme, Oxnard, and Ventura County beaches

Late Sunday evening Dave got a call from Maclovio, who had lost his wedding ring somewhere on the beach at Port Hueneme — between the pier and the lifeguard tower to the north. The challenge was immediate and two-fold: that stretch of Port Hueneme Beach covers a lot of sand, and the only window Dave had to search was 4:30am — he had to be at work by 7am. Port Hueneme is a 45-minute drive, which left just 90 minutes on the beach before he had to leave.

Maclovio had sent Dave a pin and a photo of the skyline looking back toward the condos. He remembered being at the top of the slope near a trash can — but that was the only landmark he had.

Dave arrived in the dark and spent the first half hour working the area methodically, pulling quarters and dimes but no ring. When the sun came up he looked at Maclovio’s photo again and realized something critical — Maclovio had pointed him to the wrong trash can. The actual loss location was further down the beach.

With only 15 minutes left before he had to walk back to the car, Dave raced to the spot that made the most sense — and found a tide pool that had formed overnight, complicating the search further. He worked as fast as he could, systematically covering the area, but the clock was running out.

With three minutes left Dave stopped, bowed his head, and asked God to show him where the ring was.

He moved to the edge of the tide pool and made one more pass. A sweet tone rang through his headphones. He drove his scoop into the sand, lifted it, shook it out — and there was Maclovio’s wedding ring.

He raced to his car, sent Maclovio a photo, and got the confirmation back immediately — it was his ring. Another Port Hueneme beach recovery complete.

Lost men’s wedding band, FOUND! North Wildwood, NJ By Ring Finders Cape May, Jeffrey Laag

Lost a ring? Dont Wait, Call NOW!

Received a message from Joe this past Tuesday evening. Joe explained that last Sunday he was at the beach on 7th street in North Wildwood with family. At some point, while on the beach, his wedding band fell off. Joe didnt realize this until he was on his way home on Rt55 near Elmer NJ. After gathering some details from Joe and checking the forecast and tide tables I figured that I would give it a shot the next morning at low tide. I took the short ride over from home and after about 25 minutes of searching, I swung my coil over a really clean solid signal. One scoop later I had Joes ring in my scoop! I texted Joe a picture and to his disbelief it was, in fact, his ring! Joe and his family came by today and picked up his ring. He informed me that he lost the ring the day before his 8th anniversary. Another successful recovery, another happy couple! See the very nice note they wrote in the pics.
