Received a call from Davids mother, about a week ago, explaining that her son dropped his ring on that beach “at some point” during their day on the beach at The Beach Club here in Cape May. Took a ride over and met up with David and Beach Club staff. After a brief hunt I managed to recover Davids ring. Another happy client!
This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Tim who lives on Oahu and was staying at the Aulani with family. I was in lagoon 3 but no one answered so I had to leave. When I got nearly home Tim returned my call. I was going to try Saturday morning but the forecast was horrible so I changed to Sunday AM. Tim told me the ring was lost straight down from the chapel in chest deep water. The morning tide was just right. About 20 minutes into the hunt I finally got a nice tone on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Tim’s ring in the scoop. I didn’t know he had been watching me from the shore and when I finished showering up he approached me and identified himself. I thought « Wow » this is awesome I don’t have to call and coordinate a return. Tim was obviously overjoyed with the recovery. Aloha to Tim!

Little did I know I was about to embark on one of the most enduring dive search challenges to date.
My first priority in all of these water searches is to establish the drop zone either by a natural or structural marker in the water way or by a GPS PIN.
It is important to note our Seattle SeaFair event consisting of hydroplane races and typically a Blue Angel air show is a much anticipated long running annual event for many years. For only four days during the event the temporary log booms are setup as boat anchor stations on the same mooring lines every year. After the event a barge comes through and removes all evidence of the log booms.
When Chris’s firs desperate call came in I had to explain to him due to my dive safety there was no way I could dive on this during the event. Knowing that the log boom station was several hundred feet from shore in open water it was an absolute priority that we had to capture an accurate GPS PIN over the drop zone if he were to ever see his dropped Gold cuban chain ever again. Fortunately Chris was still on the same boat and he did his best with my instruction to capture a GPS PIN.
Come that Monday afternoon after the event was over I meet with Chris and as we stood on the sore staring out to a massive clear open water lake. No log boom, he was shaking his head in disbelief that his phone’s GPS PIN was not positioned straight out where he remember the boat was anchored. When he shared this concern I felt a huge black cloud of disappointment for Chris as without an accurate GPS I would not even be able to make one dive and expect to come any where close to his dropped $10k GOLD cuban chain!
After a moment of silence Chris told me that there was a guy on the same boat the really didn’t want to make eye contact that took a photo about fifteen minutes after the drop. He asked the man if he could text the photos so he could try to find his chain. Upon hearing this news I immediately ask if he had inspected the photos for a GPS pin and he was unsure. I simply told him in a stern manner jut text them to me so I can inspect them. This was our only hope and just a few seconds later I flicked up the photos and found the golden GPS location we desperately needed. After popping them in to Google maps and seeing them positioned five hundred feet straight out from shore I knew I had enough to dive on this search!
Little did I know that was just the beginning of a long labor intensive project. In reality my first dive was more of a let’s get acquainted with this dive site kind of dive.
Having done this kind of recovery dive work for a very long time I knew in my mind that his gold Cuban chain would be under the silt layer and not a visual find unless it landed on a hard structure above the silt. During my first dive it became immediately apparent that the conditions at the lake bottom were good for this search in that the silt was only a few inches deep with a hard bottom.
Due to the distance, depth and silt conditions no average diver would just dive down and visually snag his chains so I knew his chain was for the most part protected from the shark treasure hunters and would not be moving anywhere until I got my hands on it! This was a big encouragement for me now to get to work to see how long this project would take.
The lake floor in this area was also relatively flat at 60 feet deep. These were positive points for a dive search. Within recreational dive limits 60 feet for 60 minutes to stay within my No Decompression Limit. For these searches sixty minutes goes by fast! On my first dive I was quickly over taken by the massive amount of trash laying about like an airplane crash debris field. Every thing from beer cans, beer bottles, wine bottles, sun glasses, plastic Mardi Gras beads, BBQ grills, lighters, vapes, and essentially anything that can fall off a boat littered the lake floor. This all translates to a lot of metal trash and a lot of work removing, collecting and scanning the area with my metal detector for the lost Gold Cuban Chain.
Seeing all the trash was encouraging that I was under the log boom drop zone however there is still quite a bit of uncertainty if I am precisely over the gold cuban chain drop location.
Well on my second dive ten days after the drop I dove down and got a signal in the silt. I plunged my hand into the silt and pulled out an Apple Watch and low and behold it was still in low power mode with the clock still displayed telling me this was a fresh drop. I was so excited and only hoped there was no pass code so I could find the owner to return his watch, mostly to gain additional information of when and how he lost it.
After returning home that evening I quickly placed the watch on a charger knowing the Apple watches are good past 100 feet and it had only been at 60 so it was not damaged, still working as intended. After the watch was charged I was blessed to find there was no passcode. I quickly found the owner had turned off the cellular as they most likely never expected to see it ever again and opted for a replacement. I obtained the owners mother’s phone number and his email address. I sent a you won’t believe this message guess what I found and went to bed. The next morning my pone was ringing and we had a very happy conversation. Caught up in the fact he never expected to get his watch back I asked him what day did you loose your watch Friday, Saturday or Sunday? He said it was on Friday. I got very excited as I knew that to be the day Chris lost his gold cuban chain. I then asked the young man do you recall if anyone else lost anything that day? He responded with a bit of energy that some dude lost a $10k GOLD CUBAN CHAIN on the same day. I said yes excellent that is why I was diving there to find the chain. I asked a final followup question was the boat he jumped off of to the North or South of your boat. He said that guy jumped from the same boat I lost my Apple watch from!
At this point I had been given a huge gift. The gift being this absolute assurance that the GPS PIN we had was absolutely spot on over the drop zone. Now I could invest as much time as necessary chasing after Chris’s lost Gold Cuban necklace chain. I know my process was good enough to get the job done yet though this whole process after several dives and no finds I began to review my equipment and processes looking for ways to make improvements. Improvements is exactly what I did an many of them, I modified a pin pointer metal detector to function at depth, created a down rigger retrieval system for my anchor system to save energy, invested in additional dive gear for safety, developed a simple clip system on my search line to say absolutely on my search grid, developed a massive improvement to the way I was transporting my cellphone during my surface swim in what I believe made one of the biggest improvements to this project.
The dry bag cellphone slate holder keeps my phone vertical upright above the water at all times for a solid cellular / GPS reception through the complete swim out to the point of deploying my anchor shot line for maximized precision. The cell pone slate was not used until the last two dives on this project. I am extremely please with its performance and expect to have many future successes based on what I have learned from this project moving forward.

Tacia called me on The Ringfinders web site in distress that she had lost her Grandmothers Wedding ring and Engagement ring, after telling me the story about how she lost them in her back yard I assured her that I would find them. The wedding ring and engagement ring were worn by her Grandmother all her life until she passed away at 98 years old. They both were given to Tacia as a heirloom so she was stressed out that she could not find them in the grass, but my assurance made made her feel better. Once at her home, it took me less than five minutes to find them both, it made her Mothers Day.
The best way to find your lost jewelry or to make sure an area has been searched thoroughly is to contact an experienced metal detector expert. Stan the Metal Detectec Man .. 949-500-2136
*** Brooke called me from Fontana, CA. Earlier she had been at the beach in front of the Montage Hotel Resort, Laguna Beach, CA. Brooke didn’t realize she had lost her very sentimental silver necklace with a pendant, most likely in the sand.
She was already 45 miles away and it would be dark soon. Even if she could get to the location, she didn’t have access to a metal detector or any experience operating a detector.
When she told the location, I knew I could get there without her meeting me at the spot. Basically she said they had been sitting 8 ft from the only lifeguard tower at the bottom of the stairway. The necklace was on the edge of the towel. So, it most likely came off when she picked up her beach gear.
I was at the location about a half hour after the call. Tide was still rising and the sun was setting. Brooke’s directions help make this another quicky recovery. Her mother drove Brooke the 45 miles the next morning to pick up the important keepsake.
If Cheryl knew that cleaning up the yard with her husband Don would cause her to lose her wedding ring, I think she would have stayed inside that day. However, hindsight is 20/20, and Cheryl had the best intentions while removing all the rocks from the yard while her husband mowed. Every little stone and big stone were thrown over the edge of a hill next to their house. Cheryl had no idea that the littlest of all of these stones was on her white gold wedding bands. After discovering the tragedy of her lost ring, the search was on. Metal detectors, flashlights, brother in-laws all came out to help. With the ring’s hiding spot not found, Don looked up metal detectors. I got a call in the afternoon on the 3rd of May. We made plans for me to come out the following day. After arriving to Cheryl’s house, I began recording my YouTube video. A few stops and starts of the tape and a redirection by Cheryl, pointed me in the right direction. I just so happened to walk straight to her ring. The happy ending is captured forever, in the last moments of the video. Cheryl told me off camera that she was very upset about her lost ring. As she was crying by the fire pit last night her husband Don told me he made a promise to her that he would find her ring. The Ring Finders…. helping a husband keep his promise since 2009.
Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.
As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.
I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.
So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.
After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”
I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol
We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”
The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!
This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!
