Lost Engagement Ring in The South Hill ….FOUND!!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

« Maya,Maya,Maya, » Maya scolded herself as she looked down at her engagement ring  that was missing off of her ring finger. See, Maya had made a very well thought out decision. She had removed her engagement ring off of her finger right before she began gardening.  The ring was placed in the top pocket of her shirt. Then Maya began the task of filling up a raised garden bed with rich black potting soil. The task was tedious but after the work was completed Maya was pleased with herself. This feeling however, withdrew itself and morphed into dread. The pocket holding the ring, was empty. Searching that day and at night and then the next morning, did not uncover her ring. Maya asked Reddit for some advice and found The Ring Finders. So that morning she sent me a text. I called and discussed the details with Maya and made plans to come by after work. Arriving at Maya’s house, I could see her upset face coming down the stairs. We made our way to her backyard and I set my detector up. Hearing a bunch of signals under the ground, I looked around and her yard seemed to grow larger. Upon hearing that the ring was in the top pocket of her shirt, I knew all the signals were not her ring. Maya showed me a picture of the ring as I headed to the garden bed. The little puck coil on my Equinox 800 made a nice digging tool as I plunged it into the fresh soil. I made a few dozen stabs at the dirt. With a void of signals to be heard I was very optimistic when the detector sounded off and showed a 5-6 on the screen. « Let’s see if this is it » I said and turned on my pinpointer. The signal was a few inches down and I grabbed it quite easily. Sifting the dirt through my hand the ring slipped through my grasp. Using the pinpointer again to confirm I hadn’t made the ring disappear, the rim peaked out. I had found it finally. Maya was fully relieved and overwhelmed with the whole ordeal. She gave me a nice smile as I took my photos. The best intentions lead to some unforseen outcomes sometimes. But the best advice, is still, to leave your rings in a safe place where you can find them easily and not take a chance and take them along with you.

Lost Necklace and Pendant Found for Owner at Playa Del Rey Beach, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

If you lose something that a metal detector can be used to find ? Call an experienced metal detector expert .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


Jake lives a couple blocks from the beach at Playa Del Rey, one of the Los Angeles County beaches. He often does a sunset swim in the ocean. He called me after losing a special necklace with a pendant in the dry sand.

It seemed he had taken off his necklace laying it with his t-shirt and towel at shoreline.

He called me at 10:30 pm asking for help. It sounded like a search I could do the next morning but he was anxious to do it that night.

I met him at 11:30pm and we had the cherished necklace and pendant shortly after starting the search.

Jake told me that this was special to him as it was a gift from his grandfather many years ago.. It is always rewarding to hear how sentimental these keepsakes are.. When I see people wearing jewelry I know it’s not a piece of metal or nice looking stone. Most often it has a special story or meaning to the person that is wearing it. It was my pleasure to help Jake.

I can help you or can find another person that can help you.. Call 24/7 for assistance.. Stan .. 949-500-2136 .. Available now.. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “

Twenty fifth Anniversary Gold Diamond Ring Recovered for owner’s son in Moapa, NV.

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call to come to a ranch in Moapa, NV. to look for a special ring. It was given to his mother,by her husband, for their 25th Anniversary. While she was visiting her son, she was helping to vaccinate a sick billygoat. She was thrown by the animal. They had searched the house and the area where she had been helping, but no luck. He had considered renting a detector, but the rental company suggested contacting a Ringfinder. Knowing the importance of finding the ring, I immediately lay out a gridline of string, so I would cover every square inch. (Training from my Archaeology Class). It took me about 30 minutes, and it was about 15 feet away from where she had been thrown. (It’s NEVER where you expect it to be!!) They had searched the area where she had been thrown. There is nothing better than a Successful Recovery.

Diamond Stud Earring Found! Fredericksburg VA. By Rob Ellis

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Lori Holding Her Earring

I highly recommend Rob Ellis if you need help finding lost treasurers!
Riding the lawn mower last week, I ran into a tree branch and instinctively felt for my diamond earring, only to find it was missing and only the back remained on my ear.  I stopped instantly and my family helped me search multiple times.  Of course, it wasn’t just any earring – but the ones my husband gave me nearly 16 years ago when we were expecting our first child.

We tried friends’ metal detectors and everything else we could think of for days.  Thankfully, I stumbled on ringfinder.com (http://ringfinder.com/) and made a phone call.  I was quickly connected with Rob Ellis who asked lots of questions to be sure he understood the incident and to assess his ability to help.  Once he felt comfortable that this was within his ability to find, we arranged a time.  He made the coordination easy!  This morning, he came down promptly and reviewed the site to again assure his tools were appropriate for the job.  He searched diligently and thoroughly, combing the area from multiple angles and with various tools.  As time ticked by, he provided reassurance and re-reviewed the incident with me to ensure we weren’t missing anything.  Finally, after I was ready to give up, he FOUND MY EARRING buried in the dirt under the grass.  We both were so excited that we had tears of joy running down our faces.  I am in disbelief and eternally grateful!

Rob is extremely personable and easy to work with.  He is also amazingly talented.  I highly recommend his services!

From Rob: Lori, thank you for those kind words! As any detectorist can tell you, small earrings are very difficult to find. The small amount of gold and the shape requires the right equipment and experience. I started with a powerful discriminating detector which identified the matching earring when it touched the coil. I carefully searched the ground around the bush, rubbing the small coil in the grass. Eventually I switched to my high frequency Fisher Gold Bug 2 detector. Unfortunately, using the Gold Bug 2 required me to check every piece of tiny metal in a 10×10 foot area. Due to previous searching, the earring was squished about 1/2 inch into the moist earth. It took a long time on a 90-degree day, but I was delighted to return this elusive earring to Lori.

Rob Ellis: Metal Detector Expert… text/call ASAP, (703)-598-1435

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

Lost – Men’s Gold Cartier wedding band – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Mother’s Day was a perfect day and my wife, Myrna, and I topped it off with a bike ride to our community pool.  When we returned, I was putting away the bikes when I got the call from Yanaia.  She said that they were at the beach and lost a ring.  I could sense the distress in the tone of her voice.  I hopped into the car and headed her way.

When I arrived, the beach was packed, and Yan was waving me down.  I found out that her husband, Eddy, was the one who lost the ring…a heavy gold Cartier wedding band.  I thought to myself, “this should be easy!”

Eddy was standing in the middle of a tidal pool that was roughly 20ft in diameter.  He was holding a metal stick to mark where he thought he lost the ring, and his expression was very worried.

I fired up the Manticore and began the search.  I swepted over the middle spot of the tidal pool where it was obvious, they had been digging.  Nothing.  I expanded the search in a spiral outward until I had covered the entire tidal pool.  Nothing but a penny, a trash item, and a very small screw.

I began to grid off around the water and toward the beach, going into the surf somewhat.  I stopped and prayed.  This search should not be this difficult!  As I expanded toward the driving lanes, I got a great hit and suspected success.  I heard the tell-tale jangle in the scoop and saw gold!

As I handed the ring to Eddy, his expression changed in an instant from desperation to exuberance.  I was the recipient of hugs from Yanaia and Ariana.  Cheers from Jose, Joshua, and people all around!  The item that was lost was found.

Lost Engagement Ring in the grass, Melbourne, Florida…Found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Jessica called me to ask if there was any way to find a lost ring in a small grassy field! Come to find out her husband had put her ring in the pocket of his shorts as they headed out to walk their dog. Jessica went on to explain that two weeks ago they were married in the Florida Keys and afterwards had rented an apartment in Melbourne and would be heading back to Georgia the very next day at 11:00 am. So early the next morning, after I dropped my grandson off at school, I made the 90 minute drive to hopefully find her ring and get it back to them before they had to leave for the airport!

After meeting Jessica and setting out some markers I got to swinging my Garrett AT Max metal detector hoping and praying that her ring was somewhere within the marked of area. Jessica and her husband had spent hours looking the area over and even spent a good part of the night with flashlights trying desperately to catch a glimpse of her lost ring in the sparkling grass. Jessica was not exactly sure what her ring was made of…silver or white gold…but the two different metals sound similar but the numbers are very different. And since she was not able to confirm the type of metal I had to check every shallow target and thank goodness the area had very little trash.

Twenty minutes later I heard a beautiful shallow signal and as I parted the grass with my pinpointer…there was Jessica’s lost engagement ring! I said a silent prayer of thanksgiving as I took in the moment and then sent Jessica a text that said… »Come see what God has just helped me find! ». And what a thrill it was to watch Jessica’s face light up with JOY!

Have you lost a ring or something precious…or know of someone else who has recently lost an item? Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029!

Lost cell phone, Daytona Beach, Florida….Found and Returned to Happy Owner!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Jeff called me and explained that his daughter had left her purse and cell phone at a night club and when she returned just a short time later unfortunately no one had seen a thing. Of course her purse had her ID and some cash and cards and whatnot but her phone was one of those nice expensive ones and had allot of information and pictures that were irreplaceable. So I asked Jeff a few questions and come to find out the GPS on the cell phone was still giving a signal of being in the vicinity of the night club. So that was a great clue that the phone was hiding somewhere close. It took an hour or so to make the drive and being as it was in the middle of the day and the middle of the week it was not very busy so I was able to start a systematic and thorough search between the buildings and shops. I never did find Jeff’s daughter’s purse or the contents BUT…I was able to locate her cell phone in the long grass. It had a slight dent on one corner and it looked as if whoever took it that night tried to get into it but it was locked with a passcode so they apparently threw it across the parking lot and it just nicked the cement wall and fell into the grass….where if sat for 2 days waiting for me to come along! I was so thankful to be able to find Jeff’s daughter’s phone and the next day I mailed it off to where she was attending college.

Lost Subaru Key Fob… Recovered from Steep Slope in Oakland, CA

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)
Contact:

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

It’s not too often I get calls about lost keys or key fobs, let alone from a 10 year old, but on Monday May 6th that all changed.  The young boy requested that I come look for a set of keys that found their way off of a deck and onto a slope covered with ivy, blackberry, and other organic debris.  Of course I asked if the young boy would be assisting me and that I had an extra metal detector that I’d be glad to share.  Excitedly, we scheduled the search the following afternoon after school had gotten out.

It took 30 minutes or so to make my way to Oakland, CA were the key fob made it’s way into the wilds.  Upon arrival, I met the family including mom, dad, and several siblings.  They showed me to the scene of the mishap and explained that while swinging a rope the boy accidentally struck the keys sending them into the void below.  A search ensued but produced no results.  My first thoughts were that I asked a young 10 year old boy to assist me and now was looking at a very steep and hazardous looking slope entangled in ivy and blackberry vines.  But after producing my back-up machine to the boy and a garret pin-pointer to another sibling, there was no turning back.

The four of us, myself, the two boys, and dad (who was assisting by removing thorny blackberry vines from the slope) started a hasty search of the steep hillside.  The boys were excited every time the metal detectors sounded off and they quickly set out to discover what had made the machine scream out.  The hillside was riddled with targets like bottle caps, pull tabs, aluminum cans, and a large number of other interesting items. After about 20 minutes of looking, dad said that he may have saw something on the slope while pulling out vines and the two boys rushed to confirm the presence of the object.  First the young boy with the metal detector confirmed something metallic, then the sibling with the pin-pointer narrowed the search.  Moments later, with a bit of careful probing, WE MADE THE RECOVERY!

After a short celebration our little crew, and now mom and other siblings, collected on flatter ground for a little exploration and metal detecting.  For another 30 minutes or so we located and dug a plethora of targets, mostly do-dads and trash, but everyone was having a fun and educational experience.  Overall, the search for the wayward key fob and mini-hunt that followed was hugely successful.  Thank you kindly for allowing me to provide this service, I always love to get those willing and able involved into the search and having an interactive experience.

This was our target today!

A substitute picture of myself for the book of smiles!
