If You need help finding a ring or other valuable Call or Text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** I was a very summer day in Southern California and the beaches were packed. Finlay and his family were at Huntington State Beach when he lost his gold wedding band while brushing off sand with his hand. They search a small area for more than an hour before conceding that it was an futile task without the proper equipment.

While scanning the internet for a place to rent or buy a metal detector they found my contact information. He called, I got the location and was on the road. Even though it was less than 5 miles away. The line of cars waiting to get into the State Beach was more than a mile long at all three entrances. 

Plan “B” for beach access on days like this is to use my Segway. I found parking a couple miles south and rode the Segway to the location, using the bicycle/ pedestrian path. 

We connected by using the cellphone. The search area was small so the recovery was quick. They were a very grateful couple and it was my pleasures to be available to help them. We also have to remember how modern day technologies helped make this possible.

I am ready to help you now with any questions about this service call now I will pick up .. Stan … 949-500-2136.

How To Find a Lost Wedding Ring? In Post Falls, Idaho… Found It!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

Sometimes problems randomly come your way. Sometimes you create them by your own hand and they smack you in the face. For Brandon that hand that created his problem, now sat hovering over a keyboard. The word Brandon was searching for escaped his vocabulary. So he asked Google « what do you call a person who metal detects? » « A detectorist « , Google answered. Brandon now had a title to call someone who metal detects. Now he needed a name to go with that title. Google gave him mine and Brandon called me. Brandon asked me if I am able to be hired or rent out my metal detector? I told him « I was a professional metal detector specialist and yes you can hire me ». Continuing the conversation we discussed his situation.  Without hesitating Brandon told me he threw his ring, and no he wasn’t playing baseball. After setting up a date a few days ago, I finally made it out to his house. We sized up the search area, which was on the other side of the street in the neighbor’s yard. After swinging over all of the bushes Brandon showed me his best guess as to the splash down spot of the ring. I grid searched that area. Then began to grid search the two conjoined yard of Brandon’s neighbors. After Brandon had to take off to an a.m. appointment, his neighbor and I had a friendly conversation while I searched. Just as we were discussing the economy, I got a solid 20-21 vdi. Looking down I could see a dark rim poking through the grass. With complete shock and disbelief picked up his ring and realized his ring sat where it landed in the middle of the yard for a month. Lawn mowers, rain, and people all had been near and on top of that ring. However it remained untouched until I swung over it. What a crazy story that ring could tell if it could talk. Happily ever after would be it’s final words as Brandon slipped it back on his finger. Thank you man for trusting in The Ring Finders. Also being so happy, even after I did a Chris Turner fake out on you while giving the ring back.

Cardiff state beach Metal detector found lost gold diamond ring buried in the sand.

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

 

 

The Ring Finders metal detector service recovered a lost engagement diamond ring at Cardiff state beach,Ca CALL CURTIS COX 760 889 2751

This recent summer of 2023 I received another call for help regarding a lost engagement ring buried in the beach sand and it abruptly ended as she said her father or in law was already going to get a metal detector nearby. I said if they don’t find it I could still be of help.

After nearly a decade being a member of The Ring Finders website I have yet to hear a successful outcome in this matter. Learning how to use a metal detector takes a lot of time,,There are so many settings/buttons to adjust such as; Sensitivity,Depth,Ground balancing,Noise cancellation,Discrimination,Threshold,,etc.

Later that evening I headed out to clean up some local north county San Diego beaches when I received a text back asking for help as they have not found the ring after nearly 2 hrs searching.

A short 20 min drive and thankfully the Cardiff state beach parking lot was not yet closed, There I met the Father & son holding what I knew to be an infamously cheap Bounty hunter metal detector. Notorious for not finding things!

With the darkness glooming and clock ticking  before the state troopers arrive to close this beach down for the night,,I turned on my Machine and found it in less than a minute. They were so relieved and shocked how quickly I recovered this lost engagement ring as you can see in the photo. 

Lost Wedding Ring Camp Creek Lake Franklin, Texas recovered by Houston Metal Detecting Services

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)

Believe It or Not! Wedding Ring Set Recovered from Camp Creek Lake in Franklin, Texas by Houston Metal Detecting Services.
I was contacted by Craig Ellison who advised he was looking for some help recovering his wife’s wedding ring set from Camp Creek Lake in Franklin, Texas.
Craig advised his wife had been in the lake with other family members when the unthinkable happened. Craig said his wife was in about 4 1/2 feet of water and tossing a ball when her ring slipped off her finger and dropped to the bottom of the lake.
Craig said a great number of hours were spent looking for the ring in the relatively clean water of the lake. Craig said they exhausted their efforts to find the rings and searched the internet for help. Craig said he came across Houston Metal Detecting Services and placed the call.
Arrangements were made to meet Craig and his family at the lake the following weekend. As you can see from the photos and video it was a great day at Camp Creek Lake.

Lost Work Truck Keys San Clemente Beach, CA. Recovered by calling a metal detector expert

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Metal detector expert available to help you now ..Call or text Stan the metal detector man now 949-500-2136

*** Jessie had been at San Clemente, CA. with his family. They were sending the afternoon on the beach. After returning home he discovered that his work truck keys were no longer in his pocket. Panic set in, this could mean missing the next day at work and a lot of trouble getting replacement keys. 

Jessie contacted me asking for help. He wasn’t sure if the keys had been lost in the sand at the beach. He did remember playing with his daughter on the sloping dry sand. That was enough of a clue to warrant a search with a metal detector. At least I could tell him if the keys were not there, if I scanned the known spot where they had been.

I met Jessie after we set up a time and location. I gave him a short explanation of how the metal detector works assuring him if the keys were there, I should be able to find them. Sometimes the recovery could be quick but this search was getting discouraging as I was running out of space to search. Then. Boom!! a great signal that prove to be the elusive keys. Jessie was so happy and relieved that he didn’t have to lose a days work. Plus going through whatever process it was going to take replacing the keys. It was my pleasure to be available and help him.

Dave MacDonald Recovers Lost Medallion at Zuma Beach, Serving Malibu Beaches

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

 

Late Sunday afternoon, I got a panicked call from Marlon. While soaking up the sun at Zuma Beach with his family, his gold coin medallion slipped off his necklace and vanished into the sand. As Dave MacDonald, your expert ring finder for Malibu, Broad Beach, Leo Carrillo Beach, and beyond, I promised swift action to recover his cherished item.
Despite battling weekend traffic and parking chaos near Zuma Beach, I arrived to find Marlon distraught. I reassured him—we’d get it back. With my trusty Equinox 900 metal detector in hand, I launched a meticulous grid search across the area he’d pinpointed. Gridding is like mowing a lawn: slow, steady, and thorough, covering every inch of sand from Pt. Dume Beach-style dunes to El Matador Beach-like rocky patches.
The first two sweeps yielded nothing but anticipation. Then, on the third pass, a sharp tone cut through the air—a hit! Digging carefully, I pulled Marlon’s medallion from its sandy hiding spot, gleaming like treasure. His ecstatic leaps and shouts of joy said it all: another successful recovery for the beaches of Malibu, from Thornhill Broome Beach to Sycamore Beach.

What To Do When Your Wedding Ring Is Lost In The Water In Sagle, ID …..FOUND IT!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)

Corrinne said she was desperate, her eyes were red from crying for two hours. I couldn’t see her eyes because we were talking on the phone. Although in her trembling voice I could hear a broken heart. I knew what I needed to do. Head straight to her and her husband Mike, and do what we Ring Finders do best…Find lost wedding rings. In the fading hours of the day I drove to Pend Oreille river and vowed to find Corrinnes lost wedding ring. We headed towards the other side of the channel which was a short boat ride. Mike and Corrinne both gave great directions on where to search. First I snorkeled and detected and then scuba detected. As night fell like a ring slipping off a finger into dark water, the hope of a recovery drifted into the blackness. I had to stop the search, 1000 psi in the scuba tank and no more strength to keep going. We were the last boat on the lake that night. Tired and distraught we all packed up and headed home. Remembering my vow I woke up the next morning and retraced my steps back to Springy Point camp ground on the Pend Oreille River. Corrinne and Mike showed up shortly after I arrived and we all had a very positive mindset. Mike took us on a quick boat ride over to the other side and parked where they were yesterday. Mike looked out on the water and said « here is your search area Luke ». So I got my scoop and detector and started to grid search along the shoreline. Mike was snorkeling in the deep section where I had been yesterday. I knew I needed to eliminate the shallow water before going back to the deep water. Just as Corrinne showed up on the bank I made a turn in my grid line by an old stump. My pocket was full of pull tabs already and as I turned I got another signal of 13-14. But as I sifted the sand through the scoop a rim of a ring sparkled in between the small stones. I honestly thought I had dug up a different ring . As I reached  for the ring, the ring fell over in the scoop. I then caught a glimpse of Corrinne’s one carat diamond.  The pure sound of joy erupted from my mouth. The fishermen on the other side jumped a little because of the sudden sound. Corrinne knew what I found and held out her hands to hold her wedding ring she has had for 15 years. Mike was still floating in the deep and only heard a muffled sound. So Corrinne and I yelled louder. His head popped up and he saw our smiles and he knew what all the yelling was about. Hugs, fist bumps, and photos, we all celebrated a Ring Finders Happy ending.

Lost Wedding Band at Bass River, South Yarmouth, MA Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

August 12, 2023 was one of the best beach days with bright sun, mild breeze and full parking lots. It was a definite beach day for Dennis and his family. It was also a must go detecting day for Leighton (another RingFinder) and myself. As we made our way around the seaweed patches we saw Dennis, whom we had met the previous weekend having fun in the surf. We stopped and chatted for a minute or two before continuing down the beach, never looking back. Our bad, because we were being hailed to go back as Dennis had just lost his wedding band to the surf.

About an hour later on our return homeward bound trip we were told why Dennis had not left the water in the past hour. He was standing were his ring had slipped off his finger. We did not need to be asked to help, we just went into the searching grid mode and within a couple of minutes the ring was found and returned to Dennis’s finger.

Dennis’s son, Peter, did an excellent job at taking pictures and recording information so I could contact his family to put this blog together and forward it’s link when published. Timing was perfect, otherwise the return would not have been so rapid. We hope to see the family our next time we have such a nice day at the beach. As an aside: Further down the beach I also met up with another couple who’s engagement ring I found and returned eight of years previously at the same area on the beach.

Dominic’s Story: A Lost Wedding Ring at Point Dume Beach
On my way to help a customer at Point Dume Beach, I got a frantic call from Dominic. His wife had lost her wedding ring in the sand at Zuma Beach—just months into their marriage—and he needed urgent help. I promised to prioritize their lost ring recovery in Malibu after my current task, and soon I was navigating Malibu’s busy streets to meet him at lifeguard tower 4.
