Bay Area Ring Finders: Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP 925-580-2590
Gold is a big part of Neelums culture, so when she had the opportunity to purchase a very unique 22k gold ring while in Dubai, she jumped all over it. The ring style is thought to bring good luck to its owner…more on that later. This particular ring had become one of her favorite possessions, so when it came up missing, she sought help quickly.
Finding theringfinders.com site led her to me and after some text messages, we agreed to meet the following afternoon to search. We started at her mothers apartment where she last physically had the ring. She had put multiple rings into her purse there before running to pick up her husband from work and returning to their apartment. After nothing turned up at that location nor inside her vehicle, we decided to move to the final location where Neelum realized the ring was missing.
Interestingly enough, as we walked the pathway to her apartment discussing what areas we could search, there on the path sat the 22k gold ring. It had sat there in the open with people constantly walking past it for over 24 hours. We had made the recovery!
Remember earlier when we discussed that luck thing? Well, that ring truly brought luck to Neelum on that day. There would have been so many opportunities for someone to spot that beautiful and unique ring and to take it for themselves, however she now has the ring back in her possession and their story together got an exciting new chapter in lieu of a sad ending.
As always, Thank you Neelum for contacting the The Ring Finders and entrusting me to assist with locating this wonderful ring? Best wishes for you and your family for the future.

If you lost a ring or other type of jewelry at the beach (in the sand or water) give me a call, I have a metal detecting service and can come out and find it for you. Call / Text Louis 305-608-1870. Alexandre lost his ring on while on vacation from Switzerland. He was flying out the next day to California. When he called me I didn’t think I was going to be able to find it because the surf was as bad as I had ever seen it. But after about an hour of being battered around in the water, we found it. He did a great job of marking the area where he lost it. A beautiful 18k Gold Ring.
Chris called requesting my service to search for his wedding ring which he just lost while playing Volleyball, I arrived at the court and meet Chris, he showed me the court where he was playing in. His gut feeling was the ring was in the middle of the court, I quickly search the area but the ring was not there I told Chris the ring has to be on the other side of the net I moved to the other side of the court and bang I hear the tone I was looking for and there was his ring.
Chris was very happy to have his ring back on his finger, I also would like to thank my past client Mitchell for referring Chris to me thank you.
August 6, 2023 was what began as a great afternoon of boating on Cape Cod Bay turned into a fretful time of searching for a wedding band that had slipped from Zach’s finger after only 2 months of being worn. Zach tried diving in 9 feet of water to find the ring but lacked the ability to hold his breath long enough to do much searching under water. When the tide went out and the area was void of water he and others tried using a metal detector and “eye-ball” searching with no success.
One of Zach’s friends suggested he call J&E Enterprise, a metal detector dealer for suggestions. Eleanor offered up my name and number. Zach then called me. The tide was about ¾ full and I knew I could not detect in the 9 foot deep water and made arrangements for an early morning meeting when the tide would be down to only waist deep.
The morning came with storm alerts on the NOAA radio. High winds, heavy rain and possible tornadoes were on the horizon for Cape Cod area. The sky was a bit overcast at 7:30AM but otherwise it looked like the beginning of a wonderful day. I took a chance and left the safety of my home and was off to meet up with Zach, After the introduction and being shown were the over-size ring slipped from his finger I was in the water searching in a grid pattern. About 45 minutes of searching with only one other signal I located the wedding band.
I left the ring in my detecting scoop and headed out of the water, back to where Zach had been standing. He thought I had given up searching and I said yes, there is no need to search any further. I then put the scoop in front of him so he could see the ring in the scoop and retrieve it for himself. I love the emotions people show when their lost item has been found and is being returned. Even bystanders are amazed and become elated as they watch and add congratulations.
Zach’s wife was home and had offered up a bit of advice when she was told of the “loss”. That was “do not tell your mother until after TheRingFinder does his search.” While Zach was talking to Kelly I texted her a picture of the return. Yes, it was a wonderful feeling to be part of this story that ended with smiles that spread between Zach on Cape Cod and his wife several states away.
OH, I must add that the weatherman was correct. Two hours after I arrived back home the NOAA alerts started coming in every few minutes, Then the wind, rain, and lightening engulfed our area. There were two tornadoes in our area. One EF1 touched down about 30 miles and the other an EF0 was only 5 miles away. There was physical damage to homes and property but no human injuries. Both Zach and I were among the lucky ones this morning.

Recently this summer of 2023 I received a call of urgent help from a lady who had 2 gold diamond rings disappear while boogie boarding at Camp Del Mar beach on Camp Pendleton marine base.
These type of calls are not what many people have worded to me; “Hopeless or a shot in the dark.” I know some mysteries of how the ocean works along this littoral cell. Especially when it’s only been a day or 2 in the ocean along this particularly flat wet beach. Gold has a density 19.3 times greater than water meaning it won’t move,,,Only sink! I assured her there is a good chance I could find it!
So we arranged the very next morning during an early 7:00am minus Low tide then was shown an approximate area she was riding the waves 4’+ deep. She had to head back home nearby to take care of her newborn meanwhile I scanned & scanned & scanned some more for over an hour until I was nearly too far gridding from where it could of been,,,Like many times in my past,,,As soon as I think about calling quits…I end up finding it. That’s when a familiar itchy scratchy low tone signal beeped on my Minelab Equinox metal detector. After 2 Scoops the small round band came popping out! I checked around the hole and no signals though where’s the 2nd ring??,,,I always fill my holes as usual and one important thing to do is check your holes before filling them as a detectorist’s Murphy law cause The main mothers diamond ring was just one more scoop down! I text her pictures of the rings saying they are safe now and even delivered them for her. She was so relieved as you can see in the book of smiles:)

While on another search at an ocean beach on Block Island, a young girl approached me to ask for my help. She explained that her dad, Marty, had just lost his wedding ring while boogie boarding with his kids. He rode a wave and felt the ring fall off in the water near shore. I interrupted the other search to look for the ring. It took thirty minutes to find it in the sand near shore. Marty and his wife were thrilled. They felt so blessed that I happened to be there when they needed my help. You see, this was not just any ordinary wedding ring. It had belonged to his wife’s grandfather, George, who passed away in 2019. The ring was gifted to Marty because he married the eldest granddaughter and was very close to George. Marty’s ring is now with his wife for safe keeping until it can be resized!

Brandi contacted me on 8/1/2023 to ask for my help. She was referred to me by Wayne, a friend and experienced metal detecting enthusiast. Brandi’s husband, Iving, had lost a man’s gold chain on which hung a woman’s gold wedding ring. These items held much sentimental value to Irving, as well as his sister Nancy, as they were gifts from their dad and mom, who had passed away. The chain with ring came off when Irving was diving into the ocean at a beach on Block Island on 7/28/2023. They hired someone to look for the item and even went back to Block Island to search themselves but were unsuccessful. I knew I had to get out there as soon as possible to search for the item, so I headed out to Block Island the next day. After searching in the water for two and a half hours, I found the chain with ring still securely attached. I called Brandi from the beach to give her the good news…she was so excited. Brandi and Irving, as well as his sister Nancy and her partner Manny, came to my home to retrieve the item. They were very emotional when I returned the chain with ring. What a touching moment when Irving put it back on his neck. My wife and I felt an instant connection to this beautiful family.

Jim and Lisa rented a beach house on the private section of Charlestown Beach. While enjoying the beach, Lisa removed her platinum diamond wedding band to apply sunscreen but didn’t put the ring back on her finger. A half hour later, she realized that it was missing and had gotten buried in the beach sand. Jim called to ask for my help with finding the ring. I searched the beach for about 20 minutes before locating her ring. They were so excited and appreciative!
Bill and Sarah reached out to me earlier in July. Bill had lost his platinum wedding band in the Gulf while vacationing in Gulf Shores. I made plans to go help but unfortunately it was a terrible lightning storm and it was just not safe to go that afternoon. They had already gone back to their home in Auburn but I wasn’t giving up. I got up the next morning to beat the storms and also so I could get it done before having to be at work. The Gulf was a mess and it was all I could do to hold a line in the rough seas. They had put out the red and purple flags overnight. Luckily, I didn’t have to go far when I heard a great tone and quickly scooped up Bill’s ring before the sun even peeked over the horizon. I sent a picture and briefly spoke to Sarah on the phone. I told her that I was coming to Montgomery in a few days for work and she was thrilled because Bill’s Dad lives there. I battled some more storms on the way up which seemed only fitting but I was able to drop it into the hands of Bill’s father and smile as he checked it out. I think Bill and Sarah were a little camera shy but they sent this picture of both of their hands with Bill’s ring where it is supposed to be. They entitled it “Reunited” which I think says it all. 😃
