Erin called with an air of desperation having lost her keys in the sand at the beach, they included car and house keys. I was ready and available, and let her know that I would leave immediately to help her.

When I got to the beach, Erin found me, and took me over to the spot where she believed them to have been lost. As a professional photographer she had been taking family photos for five different families that morning, and had been very busy, not noticing the loss. The area she showed me was pretty big, but going low and slow, and with a tight grid it would be no problem. I worked one way from the middle, pass after pass, making sure to cover every inch of sand. After about 8 passes, and almost outside of the shown area, I got a strong signal, dug, and had her keys. She wasn’t looking when I found them, and as I walked them over to her, she turned seeing them and was overcome by emotion. She told me that the last 2 weeks had been very tough for her, and losing the keys just seemed like it was breaking the camel’s back. Not to mention, she had another photo shoot lined up, and without the car key she would have made it. I am so glad I was able to make her day. Her smile says it all.

Ana called explaining that she had lost her ring while at the beach, and was not able to find it. I let her know that I would be able to help, and was available, so I packed up my gear, and was on my way.

When I got to the beach I found Ana quickly, and she showed me where she lost her ring. The area was not real large, but as I began, there seemed to be a lot of metal in the area, probably because it was right next to a beach entrance. It seemed as though I could not move 2 inches before I had to dig something, because I was getting many signals. The one thing I have learned in this service is that a person has to have patience and perseverance, so I kept at it digging and digging. I finally came upon Ana’s ring, and we were both very happy. Pretty ring, and happiness all around.

***Carolyn was with her friends on a small beach at Balboa Island. She had 4 rings that she had taken off, putting them on the edge of her towel. While she was away from her towel, one of her friends moved the towel, not knowing the rings were on the towel.

She was able to find two of the rings. The other two rings had disappeared. She was frustrated after a couple hours of searching. Then it was time to go to the internet for ideas to find rings in beach sand. My contact information was listed in the Newport Beach area.

After a short conversation, Carolyn gave me an address minutes away from my base. She waited for me and within 30 minutes I was able to find both rings. Another happy lady that was surprised that there is a metal detecting service available in Newport Beach. Google helps people in many ways.

LOST 14k GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN RAEFORD, NC……FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a text saying this young lady had lost her engagement ring while throwing a ball for her dog. As soon as she threw it, she felt it fly off and heard a “DING” as it hit the metal fence. She wasn’t sure if it was in the yard or over the fence.

Her, her fiancé along with a friend spent all day looking for it and tried using a metal detector as they raked pine straw and putting them in bags.

I arrive, get the story and based on the details, I knew it had to be over the fence. I scanned the inside first, just to make sire, but quickly headed for the other side. After about 15-20 mins a get a good ring signal and there it was in the pine straw on the other side of the fence.

Now it is back where it belongs!!

“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS & BURY THE DRAMA!”

Double-Ring set recovered in Howard Park

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

In late October of 2025, I received a call from a widow who had lost her wedding and engagement ring set while playing with her grandson in a tiny city park.   It was somewhere in the wood chips.  The rings meant a lot to her because they had been picked out together, and he had passed just last year.    I taught Mary how to use my old Tesoro Cutlass while I used my Nokta Legend.  The Tesoro is analog, and quite easy to use.  We practiced on my wedding ring so she knew the sound it would make.  We were thinking the rings would be by the swings, because that’s where most hand movements occurred.   Nope!  After about 15 minutes of sweeping our coils, her’s sung out loud with a ring signal.  It was in the middle of an open spot.   I quickly pin-pointed it with my Garrott « carrot, » and it was back on her finger in seconds!  She didn’t just find the rings – all the memories came back with it.  It was a little sad that he couldn’t be here physically, to see it was found, but we could feel him watching over us.

Beautiful sapphires, silver and gold!

*** Chris contacted me after losing his gold ring in knee deep water near th St. in Newport Beach, CA. His beloved pet dog had recently passed away. They had spent many days walking on the beach together. He felt it appropriate to put his dog’s ashes in the ocean. While walking out his ring slipped off his finger into the surf. His friend was actually making a video of Chris walking out into the surf.I was able to get to location at the next low tide. The video helped me identify the approximate location because there were breakwater rocks in the background. Within 15 minutes I had Chris’s gold ring in my sand scoop. He met me later the next day at a resturant near his work place.

Brook called me for help. She had been getting her beach materials ready to leave when with the flick of her wrist her ring was lost in the sand. She had searched diligently, yet was unable to find it. I was able to go to help, even though it was getting late.

When I arrived, it was dark, and we were the only ones on that lonely beach. She showed me the area where she had marked it, and in the light of my headlight, I was able to see where she had been searching. I began my search, and searched the whole area with no luck. She had never left the beach, so the ring had to still be there. It was time to expand the search, and about 10 feet away from the original area I got a good signal, dug, and had a very pretty ring in the scoop. I showed her and she was very happy because it had been given to her. When we walked up to the highway, I said I would walk her to her car. She told me she was going to call for an UBER, so because it was extremely dark there, and there are a lot of homeless in the area I let her know I would wait with her until the UBER came. Then she asked if I could take her to the Metro train depot in Santa Monica about 10 miles away, which I said I would be happy to do for her safety. Great smile!

***  Lost Engagement Ring in surf sand at Crystal Cove California State Beach. Katrina was in front of the Beachcomber with her daughter. She lost her engagement ring while showing her daughter how to find sand crabs in the surf sand.

The ring came off digging in the saturated wet sand and she realized it right away. It disappeared instantly.

Frustrated and upset Katrina was sure it was lost forever. She was able to calm down enough to google “ How to find a ring at the beach” .. My contact information came up under The Ring Finders directory.  She didn’t call me until she was on her way home.

We talked about the circumstances of the loss and I was able to get enough information to do a search the next morning at a low tide. It was not necessary for her to drive 40 miles to show me the location. I know most of the beaches near me well. She gave me very good landmarks. The next morning her ring as found with my metal detector 4 inches under the wet sand at low tide..I sent her a text with a photo of her ring and she picked it up a couple days later. 

If you lose something at the beach, call an experienced metal detectorist.. Stan 949-500-2136
