  *** 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

Find a ring in Brooklyn! Found lost jewelry in Brooklyn Street… Brooklyn’s in the house!

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Sometimes the Search Starts Long Before the Detector Turns On

If you lost jewelry in New York suburbs, call me! – 646-235-8797…

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.

LOST 18K GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN SALISBURY, NC…..FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

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!

Lost Yellow Gold Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

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!

Just a couple of weeks ago, I received a frantic call from Lucy, who had lost her cherished heirloom gold necklace and medallion while swimming in the surf at Emma Wood Beach in Ventura. The loss happened at low tide, which meant any recovery attempt would involve braving the cold Pacific Ocean waves. I arrived at the site within an hour of her call and spent two hours battling the surf, but the necklace remained elusive. I explained to Lucy that an upcoming good minus tide on New Year’s Day could improve our chances, as the waves would recede further, allowing me to search deeper in the water.
Yesterday, it was time to head back out for another try. Since the initial loss, the area had seen over 8 inches of rain, causing significant sand movement and shifting tides—making the odds of recovery even slimmer. But with faith and my trusted Minelab Manticore detector, I prayed for success. After about 30 minutes of grid searching, I hit a deep non-ferrous tone with a fluctuating ID that screamed « valuable target. » Standing in shin-deep water, it took 10 determined scoops to extract it, as waves kept refilling the hole with sand. On that final scoop, I spotted the chain dangling from my scoop—Lucy’s family heirloom necklace was found!
When it comes to how to find lost jewelry in the sand at the beach, remember that time is critical. Tides, shifting sands, and even other hobbyists with metal detector rentals in Ventura or Santa Barbara can complicate things quickly.

Find a ring in Co-op City Bronx NY in SNOW – Later That Same Day… Back to My Old Neighborhood 🏙️💍

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)
Contact:

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.

Find a ring in the snow in Dobbs Ferry New York – Two Ring Searches, One Day — and an Incredible First Find ❄️💍

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Two Ring Searches, One Day — and an Incredible First Find ❄️💍

Today was a first for me: two ring searches scheduled in a single day. I had no idea how memorable the morning recovery would be — or how quickly it would unfold.

The first call brought me to Dobbs Ferry, in front of St. Cabrini’s Nursing Home, where William had been visiting his mom with his new wife the day prior. After the visit, the two of them stepped outside heading to their car and started doing what most couples do when there’s fresh snow on the ground — throwing snowballs at each other and laughing.

Somewhere in the middle of that fun, disaster struck.

William’s wife suddenly realized her platinum diamond ring was gone. The snow was deep, the ground completely covered, and panic set in fast. They were both devastated… they searched and search to no avail, but thankfully, they knew exactly who to call.

I arrived around 10:00 AM the very next morning, stepped out of my car, and began unloading my equipment. Within five minutes of starting the search — five minutes, in the snow — my detector gave the signal I was hoping for.

There it was.

The look on their faces said it all. Shock, relief, and pure disbelief. Honestly? As quiet as it’s kept… I was pretty shocked myself. In all my time detecting, I’ve never recovered a ring that fast.

It was a beautiful way to start the day — and a reminder of why I do what I do. I wished them both a happy and lucky New Year, feeling certain that God had His hand in this one.

There was another ring recovery still waiting for me later that day in my old hood (Co-op City!)— but that’s a story of its own coming soon…

Lost — Gold Solitare Ring — New Smyrna Beach, FL — FOUND!!

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

My wife and I were on our way home from an evening of admiring Christmas lights in a nearby town, the kind of quiet drive where the glow of decorations lingers in your eyes. Halfway home, she received a text. It was our neighbor, Sheri.  Her text sent a note of worry—her niece had lost a ring somewhere in the backyard.

Myrna told her we’d be back shortly and that I’d give them a call. By the time we pulled into our driveway, I was already shifting gears. I headed into the garage, grabbed my detector, and walked over to Sheri’s house. As I approached, her brother-in-law Bob spotted me and waved, letting me know they’d meet me out back.

In the backyard, I was introduced to Jadah, the young lady who’d lost the ring. She explained she’d been doing cartwheels when it slipped off her finger and vanished into the grass. I asked what the ring was made of, and she showed me its twin—the matching ring from the set. Perfect. I smiled, already hearing its signature in my head.

I powered up the Minelab Manticore and began sweeping the lawn. It didn’t take long. On the second or third pass, I stopped and said confidently, “I have it.”

Jadah dropped to the grass, searching eagerly, but couldn’t spot it. I switched to the pinpointer, moved it slowly through the blades, and there it was—the ring revealed at last. A beautiful piece, catching the light even in the dim evening.

Jadah’s face lit up. “You are magical!” she said.

And just like that, a lost ring was reunited with its very happy owner—another small Christmas miracle, right there in the backyard. ✨

If you’ve lost a ring, keys, or even your phone—whether at the beach or in your backyard—don’t give up hope. Call Detector Ed at 757-419-0299. I’m available day or night. Call or text me as soon as possible—and please, don’t post about it on social media!
