I was cleaning the gutters, not wearing gloves (lesson learned) and as I threw the debris, my wedding ring slid off my finger and went with the debris into an area of Ivey. In that environment, it was like 
looking for a needle in a haystack. Jeremy Roth of Ringfinders to the rescue. He found the ring along with a few other items overgrown by the ivey. Just in time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

Here’s another story of a lost custom made wedding ring recovery at Oceanside beach San Diego California. On August 3rd 2025 Ian was wading in the shallow surf water near the pier when he noticed his ring missing. Later that day he commented on Reddit what had happened then along came suggestions from users including contacting myself on The ring finders to help find his ring.
Sure enough Ian contacted me right away which increased his chances of getting it back,,,within a short time after meeting him there that same night I was able to recover his precious meteorite wedding band within 3hrs of his online post!
Ian was extremely happy & relieved I could help him so quickly.
Time is of the essence….The Ocean is hungry & local pirate treasure hunters are starving for gold!

*** Cairo and Layla are newly weds from Egypt, celebrating their honeymoon in Newport Beach , CA. Layla set her two wedding rings on their beach blanket for a couple minutes, because the new rings were a little tight.
Even though they were back away from the water, a rouge wave washed over the upper towel line and the water took the rings into the sand.
They called me after trying to find the rings for a couple hours. I met them on the beach just before sunset. They remained on the beach till I arrived. Because they called me in a timely manner and stayed there, It only took a few minutes to locate both the rings. They were so excited and grateful to have the rings recovered. The next morning they were flying back to Egypt.
Do not wait. It is very important to call a metal detecting service as soon as possible.. Call or Text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136
Sometimes the Search Starts Long Before the Detector Turns On

At 1:00 AM, a desperate text came in. By mid-morning, there were tears — hers… and mine.
This one felt amazing — not just because the ring was found, but because of what happened when I handed it back.
A woman in Williamsburg, Brooklyn had lost a ring that meant everything to her. She felt it fly (fling) off her finger while walking on her block. She and her boyfriend — along with kind strangers — searched for hours with flashlights. No luck. Desperate, she reached out.
I replied honestly. Street searches are tough. Metal detectors don’t love concrete or asphalt — too much interference underneath. I told her I might not be able to help, but we’d talk in the morning.
Her reply changed everything: they believed the ring landed in a dirt or grassy area.
That detail mattered.
By morning, they had already gone back out and searched for a few more hours. When I arrived, she explained the ring was loose — and that unmistakable feeling of it flying off her finger never left her.
I started by eliminating the obvious with quick scans — the leaf-covered street and nearby bushes along Havemeyer Street. After about an hour with nothing, I shifted my focus to something more subtle: the footing at the base of the shrubbery.
And that’s when it happened.
Right at the bottom of a bush, exactly where gravity would pull something small but heavy, my detector gave the signal I was hoping for. I reached down — and there it was.
Her ring.
When I placed it in her hand, she broke down in tears of pure joy. And honestly… that did me in too. I even got a hug out of this one.
Moments like this are why I do what I do.
More and more I’ve been thanking g-d, before I even begin a search, I feel a calm certainty — like I know what was lost will be found.
This young man called me up saying he lost his wife’s 18k gold engagement ring! I’m thinking to myself, “HOW DID YOU LOSE IT?!?” I said ok tell me what happend..
Story goes, It was getting dark, they were on a walk enjoying spending time together. It was cold, they were horsing around and she was afraid of losing her ring so she takes it off and puts it on her thumb to slid it into her husband’s shirt pocket for “SAFE KEEPING”!! A few mins later he did something to cause her to chase him and he stumbles and falls down a slope. He didn’t think anything about it until he realized he lost his watch. Then he checked his shirt pocket, and his heart sank, the ring wasn’t there!!!!
He called me up and I shot over in the dark. He wasn’t 100% sure where he fell so I was scanning about 50 yards of possibilities. Lots if signales and sadly I didn’t find it that night. I advised him to try and find his watch during the day and to try and narrow the search area a little.
The next day he goes back to site and finds his watch. It was just about dark again and rain was coming in on Saturday. So I told him I’ll be there first thing Sunday morning!
I arrive, get my gear and we walk over to where he found his watch. I set my machine to 40-61 range, because the ring looked very thin. I didn’t find it, so I changed my range to VDI 40-72. BOOM! Got a 62 and there it was just under some dirt!!!
I love helping people find lost items! It makes my heart happy and to see the joy, happiness and relief on their face!

This ring find began when I got a call from Matt who was on vacation from Seattle and after returning from a swim went to flick a piece of beach slime from his hand his ring flew off and disappeared into the sand. I told him I just got back from Ko Olina but after grabbing a bite to eat I would return to find his ring in the dry sand near the beach chairs. When I arrived Matt waved me down as I entered the beach area. We walked over to the search area and Matt described what had happened. I assumed this would be a quick find and I would be on my way back home. I searched the area in front of the chairs where Matt thought the ring should be. No Ring! We moved the chairs out of the way and searched again. No Ring! I expanded the search grid to double the size in each direction. No Ring! I started discussing to Matt about other possibilities and he began to think it might have fallen off in the water or elsewhere. I decided to do a grid search at 90 degrees to the initial grid but this time I went way down towards the water. Actually about triple the grid size and BOOM! One scoop Big Gold Ring Found! Matt didn’t know his own strength. That ring went for a launch! Big relief for Matt and his lovely wife Katherine. Aloha to Matt and his family!
This ring find began yesterday when I got a text from Amanda who was on vacation from Brazil she texted, « Hi, we’re at the Aulani Disney Resort and my sister lost her golden ring, the lost and found gave me your number, in case we need the metal detector. Can you help us? » Amanda sent me a pic of the ring and where in the water her sister lost the ring. It was only ankle deep. I told her I would return at first light the next morning for the recovery. When I arrived I started a grid search. It took less then ten minutes to locate the ring in the shallow calm water. We met at Makiki Joe’s Beach Rentals for the return and Amanda’s sister was extremely pleased as you can see by the smile on her face. Aloha to Amanda & her sister!
Well 2026 is off to a GOLDEN start!!!

Later That Same Day… Back to My Old Neighborhood 🏙️💍
The second ring search of the day brought me somewhere very familiar — my old hood, Co-op City.
This one is a bit more private, so I’ll keep the details close, but here’s what matters: three separate rings somehow went out a window from the 12th floor of a Section 5 tower building. How that happened is a story in itself — and one I’ll keep private out of respect for the people involved.
When I got the call, I could hear the stress in my man Smith’s voice. Losing one ring is bad enough… losing three like that? That’s the kind of situation that doesn’t let you sleep.
Standing there, I looked up twelve floors, then back down at the snow-covered ground below. Moments like this make you pause. You cross your fingers, take a deep breath, and trust the process.
Before long, the detector gave me the sound I was hoping for.
One diamond ring recovered! A band and diamond companion still to be found.
I’ll be back in a couple of days, once the snow melts, to continue the search… and the rest of this story is still waiting to be written.
