LOST SHEETS OF GOLD in CHAPEL HILL, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

This will be one of my best but craziest recoveries EVER! I still can’t believe I was actually able to find it for the daughter of the deceased man that buried it in their backyard during his later stages of Dementia. Yes, he buried the sheets of GOLD that were rolled up and put together with paperclips. I know I will get comments like it is gold leaf. but it is 100% NOT GOLD LEAF; it is heavy and in sheets as stated. He used this gold to make chips.

The original story was that her father had made a small GOLD BAR out of the gold, but when I found it, I knew I had found what he had buried and what she was hoping I would find. It took me about an hour and a half to get the signal of this lost treasure! The backyard was full of leaves, rocks, trees and it wasn’t an easy target to find, luckily there wasn’t much other metal items in the natural area behind the house. That alone made it easier to locate the GOLD! The estimated total GOLD weight of what I think is 24K gold is about 15g to 20g.

Neeta called and asked for help finding her husband’s wedding ring. He had been playing at the beach with their daughter when he noticed it gone. It had happened earlier that day, so the timing was right; always, the sooner the better. I got down there as soon as I could.

We began the search, and she put me close, because it did not take very long to find it. Neeta was very pleased to be able to have her husband’s ring back so quickly, and I was happy for a great outcome that day.

I received a call from Favio who had lost his cell phone the night before at the beach. He was wondering if I would be able to do a search for him, and I let him know I was available. I asked if the phone was still showing on the find my phone app, and he said that it was, which boosted hope for a successful recovery. We arranged to meet at the location that evening.

When I arrived Favio had some car trouble and was a late in coming, so I asked him to send me a map of the area, and where he believed the phone had been lost so I could begin my search while he was in transit. I had almost completed the search area when Favio and his friends arrived. They then moved the search area a bit North of where I had been searching, and within about 20 minutes, I was able to hand his phone back. Favio then explained how he had recently come South from Alaska, and purchased the best phone he could afford in order to be able to do some film work, so this recovery was furthering his dream career. I was very happy to make his day.

Lost in Beach Sand .. Cartier Love Bracelet at Newport Beach .. Recovered by RingFinder

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

Who are you going to call when you lose something in the sand, grass, surf or any place that can’t be visually searched.. Call or text .. Stan the RingFinder … 949-500-2136

*** Laura was on her vacation with her family visiting Newport Beach. She called me the day after closing her white gold Cartier Love Bracelet. Her call came about noon which concerned me as this beach gets a daily sifting by the beach cleaning crew. Objects as large as a bangle type bracelet can be picked up by the sifting machine or moved a distances from the loss zone.

Like many people, Laura had no idea of how a metal detector works, so I took a few minutes to demonstrate. We discussed where she had been the day she realized her precious bracelet went missing. I told her I would be removing all metal signals as I did the grid search and this is a tedious process that may take a couple hours. It is not something that she has to stand by to help. She could go about her day on the beach and I would let her know when and if I found the bracelet.

About an hour into the rather large search area, I got the perfect signal. I was almost positive that this was the treasure I had been searching for. One scoop with my sand scoop prove this was Laura’s White Gold Cartier Love Bracelet. I walked over to where she had set up her beach chair at the waters edge to present her with the bracelet. Always a very emotional moment and definitely hard to express the reaction we get when we can return an item that they believed was lost forever.. 

I provide a mobile metal detecting service for all of Orange County and Los Angeles County. Basically any of the Southern California cities.. Call or text now for service or information on how this works… Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE

Glasses recovered SCUBA diving, EZ Cruz Marina, Woodbridge VA by Rob Ellis

Recovered By Master SCUBA Instructor Rob Ellis

 

Found May 16th, 2023

Erik was enjoying the day at EZ Cruz Marina, when a gust of wind took his hat and prescription glasses. With help from his friends, Erik tried using a long-handled net to scoop the glasses. Visibility, rocks, and depth made netting his glasses impossible. Sharon, the manager from EZ-Cruz marina, remembered that I recovered a ring last year and gave Erik my contact information.

A weighted Drop Line for Reference

When Erik called, he told me exactly how and where the glasses entered the water. He even sent me photos with drawings.

Gear Preparation

 

My divemaster (AKA: my wonderful wife) and I checked in with the marina office. We assessed the conditions and finalized how to conduct the search. We dropped a weighted “down line” from the dock to mark the center of the search area where the glasses fell into the water. The easiest entry was from the shore, with a hundred-yard swim. We attached a safety rope after reviewing tender-diver signals.

 

 

 

Most dock bottoms have a lot of metal debris, so I tethered the detector at the surface for my first search by gentle touch and use of a Garrett Pinpointer.

As I descended into the murky water, I lost all visibility at about 5 feet. I hit bottom at about twelve feet, and it was dark, very dark. Even my flashlight wouldn’t penetrate the murky water. I very carefully used my fingertips and pinpointer with a search pattern using the drop line as a reference. Within just a few minutes, I felt a pair glasses and carefully put them in my bag. There are always a lot of sunglasses around docks, and I wasn’t sure these were Erik’s. I ascended, gave the bag to my wife who compared them to a picture Erik had provided. She told me they were the right ones by signaling me the OK sign.

Manager Sharon from EZ Cruz Marina

Erik Smiling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were so glad to return Erik’s glasses. The actual search by touch took less than ten minutes. But the preparation, planning for the search & recovery, and clean-up took several hours. It was worth it to return such a nice young man’s glasses.

Gold Pendant Worn for 27 Years Lost at Pacific AirShow Huntington Beach, CA. Found in Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

If you lost something in the sand, call Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Nick lost his gold pendant that he had worn every day for 27 years. He had been attending the Pacific AirShow at Huntington City Beach,CA. Part of the beach has cabanas set up for VIP viewing.The loss occurred somewhere within three areas in or near the VIP seating. 

Nick called me an hour before the airshow was to end. Masses of people leaving the area could hamper my chances of getting to the location to do a search. I jumped in my car right away and was able to get there before the rush to exit. 

Security wouldn’t let us into the cabana area until it was clear of guests. I asked Nick where he had changed his shirt. He pointed to an outer sandy spot just outside the entrance to VIP seating. I had time to do a quick scan of that location, just part of the process of elimination. He had no idea where the chain had come off his neck.. 

Within a short half a dozen swings of my detector “BOOM” short solid signal in my earphones turned out to be Nick’s very sentimental gold pendant that he had worn for 27 years. I could see the look on his face, he had figured it was lost forever and now there was a miracle. His pendant was back. Every recovery is an adventure. The bonus is meeting people like Nick. It was my pleasure to be available to help him.

Lost Tungsten Wedding Band Kuhio Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began just as I finished dinner when Giovanni who was on vacation from Maryland texted, « Are you available to retrieve a lost ring on Oahu?  We are here until Friday. »  I immediately called knowing the sundown hunters would be combing the beach.  Gio told me he was in waist deep water at the Kuhio Beach lagoon when while catching a football his silver colored tungsten Wedding Band came off and disappeared in the sand.  A few beachgoers pitched in but were unsuccessful in finding the ring.  I told Gio I would grab my gear and head down to the zoo to park and we could meet at the beach.  After I parked Gio and his lovely wife Shelia met me in the parking lot and we drove to a near by parking spot near where the ring came off at Kuhio Beach.  Gio directed me to the spot he was thinking 5 feet from the breakwater.  It was pitch dark but I was able to use the hotel windows and the wall as markers.  I hunted along the wall to about 15 feet from the wall.  On the return leg I found a screaming 14K Rose Gold Wedding band but not Gio’s ring.  I went back ashore and discussed the depth of the water and Gio figured he must have been farther away from the wall.  It was pitch dark but the Manticore light was enough to see what I was doing and I decided to try an in and out grid to get more distance from the wall.  On about the fourth leg I got a screamer on the Beast and in two scoops Gio’s large size Tungsten Band was in the scoop.  Gio and Shelia were very appreciative of the successful hunt and drove me back to my car at the zoo.  We had a few laughs and a hug and they promised me a selfie when they got back to their room.  See those smiles above…its what I love!  Aloha to Giovanni and Shelia!

Will Smiles!

Last fall, Will was doing yard work when he realized his ring was missing. He had been mowing his beautiful yard and thought it might have slipped off while emptying the grass catcher. While he was reading Reddit articles, Will came across one mentioning one of my recoveries. He texted me, and we set an appointment on a lovely day to conduct a search.

Search Area

There It Is!

 

 

Will showed me where he dumped his grass clippings in his back yard. There were a number of reasonable target IDs in the area, and each one had to be identified. After a long search through the piles of debris with a rake and shovel, I expanded the area to go under low tree branches and around large stones. Finally, I heard a clean signal (with a VDI of 15). Gently scraping the leaves away, the ring appeared!
