Lost Sterling Silver Thumbprint Ring Found in Wooster, Ohio!

  • from Wooster (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Saturday morning I woke up to a missed call and text from Chris. The text said he had lost a ring in Wooster, Ohio and asked if I’d be interested in helping him recover it. I messaged him immediately and he called me right back. His wife had been cleaning snow off her car the night before and the ring flung off. He explained that the ring had tremendous sentimental value, as they had lost their son a few years back and this was a memory ring they’d had made through the funeral home with their son’s thumbprint on it. They had searched the car and the immediate area, but no luck. He called around to several friends to inquire if anyone had a metal detector and then he did a little searching online and found The Ring Finders. Within the hour we arrived at Chris’s house. He showed us where she’d been parked the night before and we got to work. There was a lot of interference, with the driveway, porch steps and a drainage pipe all within the tight search area. After the first couple of swings, I switched my Deus to a modified “fast” program and within two minutes I located the ring about two feet from the driveway and two inches from the drainage pipe! Chris rushed in to get his wife, who did not know we had found it yet. She came out to the garage and, as he was introducing us, I handed her the ring. The look on her face was priceless as she grasped the ring and held it to her chest, thanking us. This is why we do what we do! That look, that moment…there is nothing like it! The whole thing (from initial contact to handing her the ring) took less than an hour, but that moment will last forever!

The ring as found!The ring!The ring and its owner!

*** Jose called me asking about my metal detecting service. He had been at Crystal Cove State Beach which is in the city of Newport Beach, CA. His church group had organized a beach day with swimming and games on the sand. Jose took off his silver ring, placing it securely in the bottom of his backpack.

On the bus ride home to San Bernardino,CA. He could not find his ring. He believed it must be on the beach where he had been all day. It was impossible to return to search for the ring. They were almost home, 50 miles from the beach.

After returning home he was able to get on his computer, getting ideas on how to find a ring lost in the sand. While searching the web, he got my contact information. He gave me detailed verbal information of where he was on the beach, near 4 trash cans.

Silver Rings Lost in the Sand at the Montage Resort, Laguna Beach, CA.

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


Metal Detector Man called to Search for 4 silver rings in the sand a crowded Laguna Beach Resort location .. Call or text Stan .. 949-500-2136 if you need help.
** Linda had returned home in Corona, CA. after a day at the Montage Resort, Laguna Beach, CA. That’s when  she realized her 4 silver rings were missing. Linda  knew that her rings were on her towel at the beach. Now, that she was 40 miles from the beach it would be difficult to return. Also, she was aware that finding small items in the sand is difficult.

She contacted me after finding my information online. Her description of where she had been was easy for me to find without her having to drive the 80 mile round trip.

I located her most important ring 15 minutes after arriving on the beach. It took another hour and a half to wait for all the people watching the sunset to leave the area. The other 3 rings did not show.  I sent a photo of the ring to Linda and she was understanding  ( somebody probably found the other rings) . The good thing was, the ring I found was the most important ring. She was very happy that I was able to help her.

Lost 2 White Gold Rings Bridal Set w/ Diamonds in the Snow Found in Taylor Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Tip of the Iceberg……

Presented itself when a more than predicted snowfall drop Wednesday afternoon in southeast Michigan took everyone by surprise, especially newly married Jacob and his wife. While dodging sleet as they walked into the shopping mall Jacob tripped and fell onto the snow. As his wife helped him back on his feet, she dusted him off but after they got into the store, she noticed her ring was missing. They put on ice what they came for and rushed back outside to the snow-covered area of the fall. The sound of snowplow blades on the pavement had them frozen in fear but Jacob had ice in his veins and tried to find the ring by moving some snow around, but that cut no ice. Jake called his dad to take his wife home, and I asked Jacob on the phone if he could remain there and try to keep the plows at bay until I arrived. That seemed to work, as the area was unscraped when I started to search with my MXT metal detector. Scanning over the small piles of snow a familiar signal came thru and moving the veil of snow above the signal revealed what was really hiding beneath the tip of the iceberg…..the missing ring! Overwhelmed with excitement from getting beyond the surface of the lost ring, Jacob feels this is the beginning of a great year and many more for him and his wife, and that’s the icing on the cake!

A Snowy Wedding Band Recovery in Farmington, Minnesota

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
Another Ring Back on the Finger: A few days ago, I received a referral about a young man who had lost his brand-new wedding ring—just three months old—right after his big day. He was heartbroken. While brushing heavy snow off cars with his bare hands to clear the driveway for shoveling after a fresh snowfall, the ring slipped off without him noticing at first. He reached out, and I told him I’d drive out the next day—even though it was about 60 miles across town. The forecast was looking good: mid-30s and clear, ideal conditions for a search. I arrived in Farmington, Minnesota, around 2:00 p.m. the following afternoon as Paul Nolan of The Ring Finders. We met up, and he showed me the search area: the driveway, two sidewalks, and the street right in front of his house. The snow was piled 18–24 inches deep along the edges—tough going for any detector. Adding to the challenge, the concrete driveway had plenty of rebar, which throws off signals and makes pinpointing tricky. I started with a quick preliminary sweep of the entire area without moving any vehicles—about 20 minutes—and came up empty. No worries; I always follow up with a slower, more methodical second pass to catch anything subtle. A couple of spots were tough to reach with the cars parked there, but I hoped to avoid shifting them. As I began the second pass, I got a solid tone in a nearby flower bed, under about 6 inches of snow. The target was only a couple of inches down—very promising. I carefully scraped away the snow… and caught a glint of gold. There it was! I knocked on the door and told him I hadn’t found anything yet. The disappointment was clear on his face—he was bummed but understanding about how tough these searches can be. Then I opened my hand and showed him his ring. The look on his face said it all: instant joy, overwhelming relief, and pure happiness. That huge smile, the exhale of tension, the « I can’t believe it »—those moments are exactly why I do this work with The Ring Finders. Nothing beats returning a symbol of love and commitment that someone thought was lost forever. Grateful to have made this happy ending possible in Farmington! If you’ve lost a ring or know someone who has, don’t give up—reach out to The Ring Finders. These recoveries happen more often than you think.

Carlsbad Metal Detector Service, Avoid metal detector equipment rentals for help finding lost jewelry

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 

 

Metal detector equipment service helped find a lost wedding ring at Carlsbad beach San Diego. Call or text Curtis Cox 760 889 2751  before it’s too late! Don’t ret or buy metal detectors!

This call for help came late at night during the summer of 2025  A reward was offered & I was on my way…Being a local here in North county the beaches are a short trip as I was there quickly scanning the area before he arrived.

Carlsbad state beach gets raided daily by metal detector hobbyists scavenging to pocket recent lost jewelry. Many times I’ve counted 5-6 pirates swinging detectors in the dry sand. Typically a wedding ring or any jewelry lost in the beach sand will last 1-2days before it’s found & pocketed.

After about 10 min of thoroughly grid scanning the beach area I was able to recover his precious wedding ring buried in the sand. He was stoked I could help him find what may of been gone forever.

Nighttime Ring Recovery, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

7 January 2026.  To adapt a phrase from the USPS, ‘Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night shall stay this RingFinder from his mission’ (or something to that effect :-).  I received a call from Sonja about 8PM, well after dark, asking if I could help find her ring on the street in the front of her house.  Based on her answers to my questions it seemed likely that the ring was on the asphalt, in which case a metal detector would have no advantage over a good flashlight, as the ring would easily be seen visually before a detector swung over it.  However, it was possible that the ring could have ended up in the snow or grass on the side of the street.  Moreover, it was important to find the ring as soon as possible so that it would not be run over by traffic.   I said that I’d be glad to come and do a search and headed out for Sonja’s house.

I arrived about 20 minutes later and had Sonja describe how she thought her ring had been lost.  She noted that she had slimmed down recently and the three rings she wore on her ring finger were very loose.  She had driven home after retrieving a pair of traffic cones from a friend’s house, stopped on the street short of a utility trailer at the edge of the street in front of her house, removed the traffic cones from her trunk, and placed them at the front and back of the trailer.  As she placed one cone in front of the trailer she heard a single ping from the pavement and saw that two of her rings were gone from her finger.  She was able to find one ring but not the other near that cone.

So, assuming that all 3 rings were on her finger when she opened her trunk, the missing ring could be in her trunk or on/beside the street somewhere from the position of her car trunk over to the vicinity of the trailer.  We each had strong-beamed flashlights and we first searched around and under the front of the trailer where the first cone had been placed.  We found nothing.  I then began a search starting where the car’s trunk had been and working toward the trailer while Sonja searched farther down the street from the back of the trailer.  Within a couple of minutes Sonja called out that she’d found the ring!

This was a fortunate start to the New Year and I’m hoping a good omen for successful searches in the months to come.  And with some resizing, we can also hope that Sonja’s rings will remain safely on her finger where they belong!

Lost Diamond/Gold Tennis Bracelet Found In Bethany Beach, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 12/29/25, I received a call from Amy regarding her lost diamond/gold tennis bracelet. Amy said that on 10/11/25, she had walked out the front door of her residence at about 1:30 am when her tennis bracelet got caught on the storm door handle. The tennis bracelet broke and came off of her wrist. Amy believed that the bracelet had flung off her wrist in the dark and had landed in the leaf litter on the ground in the front of her deck. Amy asked if I would search the leaf litter in front of her deck with my metal detector for her bracelet. I agreed to meet Amy on 12/30/25 to conduct the search. Upon my arrival at Amys home I searched the leaf litter with my metal detector and I did not find the bracelet. The search was continued as Amy used a rake to pulled leaf litter out from under her deck and I used a pin pointer to conduct a search of it. The bracelet was still nowhere to be found. I then used a flashlight to look through some of the small spaces in between the deck boards. After looking through a second space to the ground under the deck I saw the shimmer of the diamond and gold bracelet. I called to Amy who was in the house to let her know that her cherished bracelet had been found. It appears that when the bracelet came off of Amys wrist it fell straight down to the deck and slid in between a space between two deck boards and then fell to the ground underneath.  The deck was to low to the ground for me to be able to crawl under it so Amy crawled under the deck and retrieved her lost bracelet. The bracelet was located under the deck about 10′ from the front of the deck.

Metal Detecting Service offered by Stan the Metal Detector Man .. available to help you in Southern California  .. Call or text .. 949-500-2136


*** Jason was visiting friends at Newport Beach. They had a beach front rental where they had a big birthday party set up for a whole day. Early in the day he lost a sentimental Buddha pendant while playing football in the sand.

Later that afternoon just before sunset, Jason contacted me. I was able to meet him and it was already dark.  He showed me a large area where he believed the pendant was lost.

He couldn’t stay on the beach because the birthday celebration was beginning. Actually there was nothing he could do to help me. I had all the information I needed .

After about one hour of thoroughly grid searching the large area of sand, the pendant showed up. Jason showed up just as I was heading over to meet him at the party house.

He was elated and I could see his eyes water up with emotion. He told me this was special because his mother had worn it for years in Vietnam before passing it off to him.
