Lost Yellow Gold & Diamond Engagement Ring at Iroquois Point Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a late night text from Kanga which said, « Aloha! I lost my engagement ring today around 4-5 pm at Iroquois Point Beach.  I think it’s buried in the sand.  Based on your experience, do you think there’s a good chance it’s still in the sand?  I texted back, « Dry sand or in the water? I’ll see what I can do early morning. »  It was dry sand.  She only went in the water briefly and she thought she would have taken it off before going in.  Kanga sent a few pics of the area.  I told her we could meet at 6am at the beach parking lot.  When Shiraz and Kanga arrived they gave me a few more details and marked the area to search.  Shiraz said had the ring been on the blanket he would have only dumped it off as he didn’t snap the blanket which could have thrown the ring a good distance and who knows which direction.  I fired up the Manticore and started the grid search.  On the first leg, only a chunk of foil, which sounded terrific.  Then on the return leg I got a nice tone and looked down.  There proudly exposed was the gorgeous diamond sparkling in the morning sun.  I reached down picked it up and it was a Marquise cut beauty.  Got it!  Kanga & Shiraz came running over to see.  Kanga was obviously choked up a bit, as she spent so much time hunting the beach and home because she wasn’t positive when it had come off.  This beautiful couple is getting married on the 4th of July.  So happy the ring will be there!  Aloha to Kanga & Shiraz!

Memorial pendant found at a beach in Michigan.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)

I was out detecting a beach in Michigan when I found this Memorial pendant. It had a thumb print and a name with dates on the back. I put it on the local facebook page and was able to find the owner. It turns out that it belonged to a young man whose grandfather died. I mailed it out to him and his mother recorded a message from him thanking me. This is the most rewarding hobby to have. You can watch the full video of the find on YouTube at the ringmeister. The message from Hunter is one of the shorts.

Needle in a Haystack in Hillsboro, Alabama… FOUND!

Alvintae “Kirk” texted me on Sunday afternoon (June 14, 2026) stating he lost a yellow gold pinky ring with an eagle (not quite a needle, but close, lol) while laying hay in his raised garden beds at his home in Hillsboro, Alabama.  Kirk recently lost some weight, and the ring was fitting him loosely.   This ring was very sentimental to Kirk because it was given to him by his late uncle about a year prior.  Our schedules didn’t line up until Friday, so we set up a search for that morning.

I made the very beautiful and peaceful 55-minute drive to Hillsboro on Friday morning.  After meeting Kirk, I had him walk me through the whole scenario and asked some clarifying questions.  Kirk really felt like his ring fell off into the first of four raised garden beds.  Unfortunately, the raised beds were made out of a thick galvanized steel that rang in around the gold range on my metal detector.  Even turning down the sensitivity didn’t get me as close as I wanted to the sides.  I also checked if I could discriminate out the metal (even though it was reading as non-ferrous) with my Nokta AccuPOINT pinpointer, but that didn’t work.

I asked Kirk to pull out the hay that was on top of the wood logs in the beds.  I would scan the hay piles with my Equinox Minelab 900 as he pulled it out.  Kirk got about ¾ of it out and I went back and scanned over the wood logs that were inside the beds, but I was still getting interference from the steel sides.  We decided to move the entire bed frame siding out of the way, so that I could get an accurate and unmasked reading.  We carefully moved the bed so that we didn’t damage a pretty plant that Kirk’s wife really likes.  As I was detecting over the back part of the remaining hay in the bed area, I received a good, repeatable 25-27 on my Nox.  I told Kirk that this was a very promising tone.  I walked over and took out my Garrett “carrot” pinpointer to narrow down the area.  I got the tone and gently brushed the hay away and there was that glimmer of gold-on-gold staring back at us!  We both let out some shouts of joy and immediately thanked the good Lord.  Kirk was so excited, relieved, and thankful that his uncle’s ring was found.

We took some photos and chatted for a few minutes before I was back on the road, headed home to Huntsville.  I’m truly blessed that I get to be a blessing to others.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless…

Struck Out…….

  • from Bristol (Vermont, United States)

Well, I wanted to share that after just 6 hours of going live I received my first call to help locate a lost Brooch. The lady informed me that it could be in her house, car, or local supermarket, but she was also in her yard working and was praying it wasn’t at the supermarket. She lived a half hour away and was a very stormy afternoon. I told her that after checking the radar to see if the storms had passed that I was enroute to her. It wasn’t a large area to cover and in less than an hour I had covered the area completely with no luck of it being there. I was hoping for a slam dunk but only had about a 25% chance it being in the grass. I’m hoping to hear that she finds it in her car or house.

Another wedding ring safely returned in Western Wisconsin!

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
 I got a call from a gentleman who had just gotten home from vacation and realized his wedding ring was missing. He had lost a little weight recently, so the ring was fitting a bit loose. He wasn’t sure if it had slipped off while carrying things into the house or somewhere in his yard. He had a pretty small backyard, so I met up with him and started searching right away. I checked the yard and his car with no luck. He then mentioned he had been out on the deck the night before, grabbing logs for the fireplace. I searched the log pile and a box of sawdust and kindling. Using my pin-pointer, I got a signal at the bottom of the kindling box — and there it was, buried in the sawdust! He was genuinely surprised. He told me he had pretty much been going through the motions and didn’t expect it to be found. Seeing how happy he was to have his ring back made the search very worthwhile.
If you’ve lost a ring or other piece of jewelry in Western Wisconsin, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help.

Gold Ring Lost in Anahiem, CA. Backyard Grass Found by Stan the Metal Detector Man

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

Cloe needed he;p to find a lost ring in the backyard lawn, so she called me after finding me on a google seach. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Cloe called for my metal detecting service after she lost her gold ring in grass at a yard of where she was babysitting youngsters. She was very confident that the ring was in the backyard. The location was near the city of Anahiem, CA. which is30 or 40 minutes drive for me.

I met Cloe later that afternoon and she took me to the large backyard explaining that she had been playing kickball all over the lawn area. It would have been difficult to see a small gold ring visually as much of the grass was a brown/yellow color.

I grid searched the lawn area getting many metal signals which were too deep to check by finger searching the grass. This type search could take forever dropping to my knees to investigate every signal.  After swinging my detector over 3/4 of the lawn area, I got a strong surface signal and the ID numbers on my detector were close to gold numbers. As I stared into the dead brown/yellow grass I spotted Cole’s ring.

She was standing near so I called her over to see where it had been hiding. She was so happy and grateful to have her ring back where it belongs..

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

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began as I was hunting the Aulani lagoon this morning, when a lady named Brenda, approached me and said, « My brother in law Ryan lost his gray Titanium ring right in this area. »  She was pointing in the area of the lagoon I had just gone through and found a gray Tungsten ring about ten minutes prior.  She asked if she could take a picture of the ring and send to him as he was off on an ABC store run.  Shortly there after she came back and said, « That’s the one! »  Often times people don’t remember the metal type of their rings.  A short time later Ryan and his lovely wife Linda arrived and the ring was a perfect fit.  Ryan told me he had been throwing a football when it came off but wasn’t exactly sure where it had fallen.  Vacation saved and back to San Francisco tomorrow with his ring on his finger.  Aloha to Ryan & Linda!

Metal detecting service finds lost cell phone in Lake Fairview, Orlando Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)

The very best metal detecting service in Florida is theringfinders.com! We can help you with all your metal detecting needs and lost item recovery needs as well. My name is Mike McInroe and I am here to help you in your time of need…so call or text me anytime at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Steven was enjoying a warm beautiful summer day on Lake Fairview fishing and videoing some of his catches when he bumped his tripod and it tipped over…dropping his Iphone into the lake. His phone had 8 years of important information and pictures and he quickly thought of setting a pin or waypoint…is what a fisherman does to mark a specific spot on the water. And that action was very useful later on that week when Steven called me and explained what had happened. I met Steven and we sped out to « the » spot on the lake that was in about 7 feet deep water and I first thought of using my large Magnetar magnet but after an hour I decided to do a scuba dive. For scuba dives I use a perforated pvc rectangular frame that I sink to the bottom and it allows me to detect the bottom of the lake thoroughly one section at a time and it sets on the top of the silty or grassy bottom and I can detect the outer diameter and then the inside and can cover a 15 foot square area at a time. And when visibility is very very limited I am quite confident that I am not missing targets. It took a good hour and 15 minutes to cover at least 4 sections and on the fifth section I got a screaming signal that proved to be Steven’s lost cell phone! What a relief and stress were lifted off of Steven’s heart and mind and before I left for home I asked Steven if I could pray with him and I thanked God for His goodness and for leading me to find Steven’s lost cell phone.
