Lost Gold & Diamonds Sentimental Bracelet at Ala Moana Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold & Diamonds Bracelet hunt began Friday afternoon as I was driving home from a Ko Olina hunt, when my phone rang.  Alvin from San Francisco, on his 1st Anniversary vacation said his lovely wife Agnes lost her bracelet the night before as they were walking along Ala Moana Beach after sunset.  My first thought was almost 24 hours have gone by and that beach has many detectorists and foot traffic.  The sand is also very packed and not very soft for the metal to penetrate.  Alvin thankfully was able to retrace their route from his phone.  We met a short time later and I followed Alvin along the path.  The beach was fairly sterile of targets so we got to the area they had stopped and I did a quick grid search in the soft sand there.  I did find a small pendant but no bracelet.  Since I traced my route by dragging my scoop in the sand I went back on the opposite side to expand the path.  We got to the grassy area and I suggested one more lap back on the other side to take care of any GPS position error.  About a third of the way I got a loud low tone and as I looked down I could see the shape of a bracelet just under the sand and gravel where the King Tide had washed ashore the previous night.  I pushed my scoop gently into the sand and Gold and Diamonds appeared in the sunlight.  I was as shocked as Alvin was.  I reached down and picked up the bracelet, wiped it off and handed it to Alvin.  We just witnessed a miracle and blessing.  Had there not been the King Tides the bracelet would have been exposed and easily seen.  Thank you Jesus!  Alvin and Agnes were able to celebrate their 1st Anniversary with the sentimental bracelet her mother had made for her, on her wrist.  Much Aloha to Agnes & Alvin!

3 Lost White Gold Rings Found in Huntington Woods Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

No Tricks…..Just Treats….

Is what I said to Tom when he said his rings fell off setting up the yard today. He said what? I said the treats would be his rings being found. He laughed and said they have never fallen off before and wondered if this was another case of bad things come in 3’s. I told him I was up for some frightening fun and believe that there is power and unity in 3’s. Waving my magic wand in the form of an MXT metal detector over the areas he was working an eerie silence was in the headphones until I swept over an above ground planter box. It was the loudest BOO I ever heard. Probing my pin-pointer thru the dirt revealed the rings! Wickedly laughing he said what a ghoulishly delightful find, good things do come in 3’s!!! Placing them into his hand brought shivers down his spine that he was tempted to do the thriller dance.

Lost Gold Ring Underwater Found in Devils Lake Manitou Beach Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

In The Shadows of The Seaweed, beneath the Devils deep blue water legend has it that a Native American Chief aptly gave the lake its name after his princess daughter mysteriously disappeared on the foggy lake never to be found. Fast forward a few weeks ago when Doug’s wedding ring fell off while taking apart a metal deck. His mind wondered if his ring would have the same fate….never to be found. As we headed into the water today, the scent of hickory wood burning and the view of the trees ablaze with fall color reminded me of my childhood autumn camping expeditions. Starting a grid search in shallow water, we worked our way towards the end of where the deck was. At about 4 feet water depth, as I started to sink in the muck, I got a good metal signal. Pushing the sand scoop in I pulled up a scoop full of sand and muck. Swishing it away in the water I heard the sound of something clinking around. Peering into the scoop revealed Doug’s ring! He said that’s it! Back on shore he was thrilled beyond belief that his ring was found, and relieved that it wasn’t 6 feet under! As regards the other disappearances on Devils Lake….for now they remain unexplained.

Tungsten ring, Missing for 12 years, found in Popular Grove Il

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

About a year ago I was out metal detecting the site of a 1870s school house that is now just ag land. While I was out there a gentleman named Jim stopped and we started talking about the local history. He goes on to tell me that 12 years or more ago while having a party and bonfire one of thier guests lost his wedding band in the pasture. He asked if I’d be willing to come look for it. I said, « Sure! » and gave him my card and told him to call me whenever was a good time. So, out of the blue I received a call from Jim on Wednesday 10-28. He reminded me of our conversation and asked if I was still willing to come take a look for the missing ring. I told him I’d be glad to come take a look. Since it was getting dark already we made plans to meet the following day after I got off of work. When I arrived Jim took us back to the pasture where it was thought to be lost. We started a grid pattern 90° to each other. Jen was going north and south and I was going east and west. It took about 20 or 25 minutes but after lots of melted aluminum I got a beautiful solid 72-73 double tapping signal on the DĒUS II. I dug a plug and chased down the signal with my pinpointer and BOOM! There it was!! We thought that the ring was made out of gold, so it being made of tungsten carbide threw me off for a second.  But after a quick phone call we confirmed it was definitely the right ring!!!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Lost Cartier White, Yellow, and Rose Gold Ring…Recovered!!!

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

Corey has been married for just over a month.  While performing some home improvements in his back yard, he had performed many different tasks.  At the end of the evening he realized that during one of those tasks, his Cartier white, yellow, and rose gold wedding band and came off of his finger and was lost to the yard.  Utilizing AI, he was first informed of the Ring Finder Service, but he was on a different mission.  He was looking to order a metal detector, which he did.  As a back up plan, he contacted me to learn about what I could do for him.

At the time I was scheduled to perform a daring low tide ring recovery in the San Francisco Bay.  These are not for the faint of heart and must be carefully planned as to not get sucked out the Golden Gate.  However, after surveying the conditions and the water depth where the ring was lost, this search was called off for another day and better conditions.  I reached out to Corey to see if he was available and headed over to his beautiful home straight away.

Once I had arrived, Corey met me at the curb and walked me to the backyard and through the events of the day the ring was lost.  I got started detecting the water feature, he was most certain it was there.  Then we searched the left side of the hill where he had slipped and fell that day.  I instantly knew that this would be the area we would find it and within seconds…We made the recovery!!!

 

He was both shocked and thrilled that the ring was found that quickly.  I told him that we found it before I even uncovered it.  He was almost in disbelief when I was right and handed him the missing wedding band.  It rang in at 50 in Field General on the Manticore and sounded perfect from the first swing.

Corey’s wife came out shortly after and we celebrated the recently recovered ring and talked at length about metal detectors and finds, and all was well that ended well!  Thank you Corey for allowing me to help recover this ring and best wishes to the newly wed’s.
