Stow-Away Survivor……

Stowaway/Stow-Away situations come in many forms, those involving people usually end tragically but a few live to talk about it. People who Stow-Away items hoping to return later to recover them are often victims of time or an unforeseen occurrence which prevents that from happening. What happened to Jacob’s fiancée’s ring? Would it suffer the same fate of never knowing where it disappeared? It all started when Jacob and fiancée were visiting family to work on a project. With overalls on the Fiancée was eager to get to work and spend time with the family. Moving in and out of the house, playing tug of war with the dogs, she thought she had the ring on out with the dogs and then she thought she put her ring into one of the overalls pockets. End of the day had her changing out of the overalls and driving to dinner with her thinking she put the ring back on. Next morning the ring was nowhere to be found. For over a week they looked for the ring with no luck. On site I metal detected with my MXT metal detector over the bare looking ground and a few leaf piles where she remembers being. No Signals. The only place yet to check was her vehicle and the overalls. When she arrived and found out the ring was still missing, she started to get really stressed. I scanned over the overalls with no ring signal. Proceeding to the vehicle I was reaching around and felt a round shaped object in a difficult place to access. Changing up my position I was able to reach further and grasp the whole object, which happened to be her ring! She screamed with excitement when I handed it to her and Jacob exclaimed it’s been riding around with us all week! I said yes!,,,,, a successful recovery of a stow-away you’ll be able to talk about for years to come!

Lost Gold Hawaiian Ring at Aulani Kohola Lagoon Ko Olina resort…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began a few days ago when I was contacted by Jennifer who lives on Oahu.  While enjoying the waters of Aulani Kohola Lagoon with her daughter while standing in waist deep water her daughter’s Yellow Gold Hawaiian Style Ring fell off into the water and disappeared.  They tried searching for the ring but it was useless as the water was losing it’s visibility.  I left for Ko Olina after work and Jennifer sent me some excellent pics of the area for conducting my search.  After 45 minutes and expanding the grid in every direction I told Jennifer it wasn’t in the box and she and I assumed a snorkeler probably spotted it.  She let the beach team know in case someone turned it in.  That brings me to this morning’s low tide and I was hunting Kohola Lagoon.  Out in neck deep water I got a screaming target on the Manticore and in one scoop there was Jennifer’s amazing Hawaiian Gold Ring.  It was quite far off the location I hunted so I rushed back to my car to confirm the ring as I had an exact picture.  Sure enough it was. Blessed again!  As you can see Jennifer was very excited to get the ring back and she met me at Aulani for the return.  Hugs of joy!  Aloha to Jennifer!

Silver ring lost on sand volleyball court, Orlando, Florida…found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



If you lost something important to you…like a ring or keys or cell phone on land or in the water or even in your car…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about my recovery service and am available day or night! Call or text me ASAP!

Everett was playing volleyball with some friends at their private community facility and as he went to hit the ball he felt his heavy silver ring slip off of his finger! Unfortunately no one saw exactly where it landed as it happened so fast. Everett was sure it landed fairly close to where he was standing so they tried running their hands through the sand and after an hour or so they gave up. Everett thought that maybe there was some kind of service that could help in a situation like this so he looked up « Metal detecting person near me » and that search led him to theringfinders.com website.

It was getting on towards evening so I told Everett I could come right away and after a 40 minute drive I met Everett and he showed me the area. I began my search on the same side of the court where Everett was standing and after clearing all the coins and pull tabs I crossed over to the opposite side of the court and as I was finishing gridding that side off I got a strong signal reading in the 90’s on my Deus 2 metal detector. Everett’s lost ring was just under the surface and I found it surprising just how far a heavy ring can travel with only the flip of the wrist! Everett was so thankful to have his special ring back and was all smiles as he posed for some last minute pictures.

Have you lost something as well and need special help? Call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Lost – Men’s Gold/Platinum Heirloom Ring – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

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

Here I was before dawn, on the edge of the ocean looking for a ring that I was not called to find.  On the drive over, I prayed that I could locate the ring.  I had seen it listed on Tuesday evening, but I had to be out of town on Wednesday.  I contacted Allison the previous evening and she said that her husband could call me at 7:30 am.  While I was waiting for the call, I scoured the dead low-tide sand with my trusty Minelab Manticore with the led light on.

When Cody called, he said they were there on Monday and set up between the stairs and ADA walk-down ramp.  They went into the water but not very deep and only went about 50 feet North.  I told him that I was confident that if it was there, I would find it.

I covered all the water areas first because the tide was coming in fast.  I proceeded up the beach and into the area where they had been sitting on the beach.  Nothing but a few coins and some trash.

By this time, it was almost 9 am and I was detecting the area between the stairs for the 3rd time.  As I looked under the stairs, I sensed that I should go to the other side.  An immediate and solid hit!  It was the ring, where it should not have been but was.

All rings have a story and this one was no different; passed down from Allison’s late father!  Later that day I had the privilege to give the ring to Cody!  God is good-he had guided me when I needed him most.

Diamond Engagement Ring Found after Nine Years in Sofa .. Westminister, CA.

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

Stan the Metal Detector Man is available to help you find your lost ring or other precious metal jewelry.. Call or text as soon as possible 24/7 … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”


*** Fran called me asking how my metal detecting service works. I gave her the basic explanation. I did need to know details of her loss before I could commit  to a search.  “She never told me that the loss happened 9 years ago, until after I found the ring.”

She told me that she had been doing her nails while sitting on a sofa. She put three rings on the arm rest of the sofa. Later she could only find two of the three rings. She and her husband searched and couldn’t find the diamond engagement ring. I told her that the large detectors will not work inside a home, but I have a endoscope camera and a few other tools for search indoors and cars.

This sounded easy because I figured it was in the sofa or got kicked off under another piece of furniture.

When I met her at the address she gave me, she told me the sofa was now at her father’s home.  That only leaves the sofa to search.  All the time she never mentioned the loss occurred in 2014, nine years ago.

The gaps on the bottom side of the cushion didn’t allow fingers to reach to the bottom of the lining. I pushed the endoscope into the narrow space and  “Boom” .. a peanut, a dime and a beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Fran came in from the other room and was so surprised. that was when she told me how long it had been missing. She told me she had given up years ago and her friend told her about my service, asking her to try me.

I love these miracle recoveries. I’m also pretty sure I would have not been so willing to try if she told me the loss happened so many years ago and the sofa was not in the same house where the ring was lost. I guess things happen the way they are supposed to happen.

If you need information or help to find a lost ring or other important metalic item call or text .. Stan the Metal Detector Man … 949-500-2136

Lost Wedding Ring in the Sand Recovered at East Beach Santa Barbara

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered on East Beach: Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finder Santa Barbara
If you’ve lost a ring in Santa Barbara, you’re in luck—Dave MacDonald of The Ring Finders Santa Barbara is your local expert for metal detecting and ring recovery. Last night, I received an urgent text from Joshua, a Bay Area resident visiting his daughter at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB). While enjoying a family day at East Beach, disaster struck: his wife’s platinum wedding ring slipped off into the sand near the high tide line. For locals and visitors alike, losing a ring on Santa Barbara beaches can feel hopeless—but that’s where I come in as DaveTheRingFinder in Santa Barbara.
The Search Begins on East Beach
Joshua explained that he and his wife had frantically searched the sandy stretch for 30 minutes with no success. That’s when their quick-thinking daughter searched online for “ring finder in Santa Barbara” and found me, Dave MacDonald, a proud member of The Ring Finders network serving Santa Barbara, CA. It was late, but time is critical in these situations—rings can sink deeper into the sand or get swept away by tides. I agreed to head out to East Beach right away and told Joshua I’d contact him once I arrived at the spot.
Joshua had marked the suspected location with a stick propped up in the sand. But when I got to East Beach—located along Santa Barbara’s scenic coastline near the UCSB campus—I found not one, but two sticks, spaced about 75 yards apart. This is common in beach recoveries; panic and shifting tides can confuse even the best memory.
Finding the Platinum Ring with Precision
As Santa Barbara’s trusted ring finder, I rely on my Minelab Manticore metal detector and years of experience. I started by gridding the first stick’s location, methodically sweeping the sand for any signal. Nothing turned up, so I moved to the second spot 75 yards down the beach. Halfway through gridding this area, I got a promising mid-tone signal—deeper than surface finds, suggesting the ring had settled into the sand.
Using my CKG scoop, I dug three times, and on the third scoop, I heard that satisfying clang—a sound every ring finder lives for. There, gleaming in the bottom of the scoop, was a stunning platinum wedding ring. Another success for Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finders Santa Barbara!
Reuniting the Ring with Its Owner
I immediately texted Joshua a photo to confirm it was his wife’s ring. His response? An enthusiastic “YES!” He was just 20 minutes away, so we arranged to meet up. Handing over that precious ring was a reminder of why I do this—bringing relief and joy to people in Santa Barbara and beyond.

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

While in SC attempting another recovery, sadly didnt find that one, I received a text about a lost ring in Raleigh, NC, at a parks volleyball sandy pit area.

The couple were visiting from out of state and leaving soon. I advised them of the current laws and that I’d have to call the local police to see if I could get permission to try and find it. I called Raleigh, PD and they deferred me to the park staff/security. I called and spoke with the director of the park where the ring was lost. He advised me he would have to call his supervisor and said he’d call me back. About 30 mins later I get a call and the green light!!! They said someone would need to be present while I searched for the ring, I said, “sounds good to me!” So from SC it was about a 3 hour drive!

I arrived at the park, then couple arrived and I called the Director to advise him we were there and I was about to get started. I covered the first area and didn’t find it. The park director showed up and sat at the picnic table where the 2nd possible location was. 1 pulltab and 1 twist top later I get another signal and it’s her ring!

Lost car key/fob…found with a metal detector…Maitland, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



If you have lost something important to you…like a ring or keys or phone…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about my recovery service and am available day or night! Call or text me ASAP!

Rob and his beautiful lady friend were coming in late and as she pulled the apartment key from her purse the car fob popped out as well and they heard it bounce off of the concrete sidewalk and then nothing. They figured it fell into the short wispy bushes and they searched with the lights on their cell phones but could not locate the hidden fob. The next morning they searched again and still no fob. They went online and found theringfinders.com website and gave me a call. Two hours later I met them at their apartment and Rob was positive about the location where the fob dropped so it was a matter of scanning the bushes with my ATMax metal detector and a double check with my Garrett AT Pro pin pointer and BINGO!

They were so happy to have their car fob again and I was happy to be a help and blessing to them.

How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk…321-363-6029!

Lost Gold Ring at a Private School in Tustin, CA… Found in Play Area Wood Chips

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

 

Stan Metal Detector Man call or text for prompt mobile metal detecting at your location.. Stan .. 949-500-2136


*** Marlo’s father, Bob called me asking for information on how the ringfinders service works. his daughter had lost a sentimental gold ring at her work place. He bought a metal detector to find  the ring in wood chips of a children’s play area. Bob realized quickly that the detector was not able to locate the ring. He had never used a metal detector before, so it just added to the frustration.

We arranged to get on the private school property in the evening after school students were not there. Bob met me there where security people accompanied us to the area of the loss. Marlo was there to explain that one of her young 7 years old students ask to see Marlo’s gold ring. A couple minutes later the little girl had dropped the ring in the wood chips.

It helps a lot to hear the whole story of the loss from the person that lost the item. I turned on my detector and shortly realized why her father was having problems with his detector. There was massive interference with EMI ( electrical magnetic interference ) .. I adjusted my metal detector to tune out the interference. A couple minutes later after digging a coin and a screw, I was able to find the small gold ring, Marlo and her father were very impressed to see how efficient a proper metal detector could find a small gold ring.

Marlo was so happy that her father had found my service to help her find a sentimental ring that was a gift from her mother. Rings have so much meanings for people. I wish I could have found the owners of rings that I have found over the past 50 years. The internet has changed that, now people can find help.

Call with any questions about finding lost metallic items that can be located by an experienced metal detector expert..  Stan the Metal Detector Man .. member of the Ringfinders … 949-500-2136  … ‘I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”
