*** Dave’s friend from Australia was visiting him in San Clemente at Riviera Beach. At the end of the day he realized his white gold wedding band was missing. He wasn’t sure if the loss happened at the beach, but he discovered it missing 20 minutes after leaving the beach.

The next day I responded to Dave’s call for help. He showed me a large area where they had been the day before. He had to leave to his work, I would not need any more directions. The beach only had three people on the towel line, so I cleared the major part of the towel line before more beach goers sat on the potential area of the loss. After that I concentrated on the rest of the sand leading off the beach.

After about 1-1/2 hours, I had cleared all the area except where the three people were sitting. Then I saw them pack up to leave the beach. A couple minutes later I had the missing ring in my sand scoop. The only people on the beach that morning were sitting on the lost ring.

Next thing I did was call Dave so we could arrange to meet near his work place to return the ring. Dave would surprise his friend when he returns from a side trip to the east coast.

Grandmother’s Heirloom Platinum Wedding Ring Set Recovered and Returned to Owner

  • from Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

** *** Lost Heirloom Platinum Wedding Ring Set at Gainesville, FL.  Found after owners searched for a week with a metal detector, then gave up searching and called a professional Ringfinder**

I received a call from a gentleman who explained his wife lost her heirloom platinum wedding ring set somewhere in their yard. They searched for a week using a metal detector and gave up any hope of finding the rings. They even contacted their insurance company to let them know they were likely going to have to file an insurance claim. His wife found TheRingFinders website and contacted me. Even though they were almost 100 miles from my house, I could tell how distraught they were so I responded to their house for the search.

Please click the video link to see the recovery and their reaction.

 

**TESTIMONIAL**

My wife lost both her wedding band and her engagement ring somewhere in our lawn of thick St. Augustine grass.  We borrowed a friend’s metal detector and searched for over a week with no luck.  It was her grandmother’s diamond and we were distraught. We contacted our insurance company to let them know we were likely going to have to make a claim.  My wife found TheRingFinders.com and we made contact with Adam on a Thursday.  He responded immediately and we made plans for him to travel approximately 200 miles round trip to our home in Gainesville on Sunday.  Adam arrived Sunday morning with enthusiasm and professionalism.  We showed him the area of the yard that we had been searching thoroughly and had given up on, and in less than ten minutes he found both rings.  We were in disbelief, as we had truly given up hope.  Talk about results!  While I hope we never have to call on Adam again, it is reassuring to know that he is out there helping people like us with his kindness and experience.  I would 100% recommend Adam.  Thank you very much, Adam.

LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM DIAMOND RING IN YORK, SC………FOUND!!!

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

Received a text yesterday from a young lady stating she had lost her grandmothers ring in her yard about a year ago while doing yard work, taking her gloves off to play with her dogs.

She also stated they were about to move and wanted me to come see if I could find it before they moved. I tell her I’ll be there at 8:00 am!

I get there at 8:00 am, we talked for a few mins to get the story and locations to search pointed out. She felt it was in the backyard, but mentioned a small area in the front where it might be.

I got my gear and searched the front first. Done in about 5 mins, it wasn’t there. We then move to the backyard. While she was putting her dogs away, I started walking towards the area she mentioned. As she’s walking back, past me and my very first signal, I get a signal not too deep. Using my digging tool, I see shiny heart with a diamond pop out of the dirt!

It was found! This is what I enjoy the most about being on this website! I don’t care how far I have to drive to help someone find their priceless lost items!

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

DIAMOND NECKLACE AND CLASS RING LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Wendy called me to help her find some jewelry that was lost when her house was destroyed in the palisades fire .  I met her three days later and followed her to the property. She said that she grabbed her jewelry box when she was on the way out the door when she was evacuated. before the fire. She told me there was still a few pieces of jewelry that she left behind that were important to her. I started digging for a while with no luck. I removed a safe from the rubble but was told that there probably  wasn’t anything valuable left in it. I had a strange feeling in my gut that there was so I told her that I would try and open it. That turned out to be harder than I thought. It was a fireproof safe and very heavy. It took over an hour using a crowbar a sledge hammer and a lot of hitting prying and bending. finally I got to the point were I could squeeze the cutting blade of an electric grinder in and cut out the two remaining bolts that were holding the door on. At last it was open.  I scooped the contents of the safe onto a sifting screen and to her surprise there was most of her valuable jewelry. This included her diamond necklace . her husbands gold class ring . Several gold and silver bracelets and chains. a watch, a couple of other gold rings and two very sentimental silver stars of David that she bought many years ago on a trip to Israel with her husband before they got married. I’m glad that I trusted my gut and put the extra effort into opening the safe and Wendy was very happy that I did.

Family Crest Signet Ring Lost at Santa Monica or Venice Beach California

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

   


Conor called me for help. If you need advice or metal detecting service, call or text me.. Stan the metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


***  I was asked to help Coner to find his lost gold family crest ring in the sand at a Santa Monica Beach. He is an avid rugby player and has weekly beach rugby  tournaments near home.

I met him on the beach in Santa Monica. He showed me an area that the ring could be. Coner said he normally puts his watch and ring in his shoe that are not worn while playing. After the game he only had the watch in the shoe. He believed it was possible that he didn’t remove his ring before playing the game. I searched the whole area and could not find the ring.

A week later Coner called, telling me that he was reviewing videos of a practice he did a few days before the tournament. The video showed the ring on his finger. It actually showed the ring missing after he had passed the rugby ball. The video actually showed a black spot in the air that could be the ring.

I agreed to meet Coner at Venice beach, a mile from the original location. He sent me the video clip which made me feel we had a chance to find his ring. At least we could grid search the area to prove it wasn’t there.

This turned out to be worth the two trips across town. The Gold Ring was still in the sand after lost for more than a week. This search was much shorter than the first search because the video had a lifeguard tower 30 or 40 ft. from where the ring came off. Landmarks and videos do help to make searches successful.

……………………………………………………

Many Searches are unique. It’s important to ask the right questions when someone asks for help. Even though they are positive what and where the loss happened, they may not put you in the location of the loss.

First unsuccessful search was a mile from where the ring was eventually found a week later after Coner’s friend had reviewed the rugby practice video and he called me to get my opinion.

MENORAH SURVIVED HOLOCAUST LOST IN PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

Elyse called me to inquire if a metal menorah could have survived a fire and I responded that it could.  Once I arrived at the property a few days later she told me the story of just how significant the menorah was to her family. It survived through the holocaust with her grandfather and both made it to New York by way of Ellis Island and was passed down to her. The menorah was over 100 years old and was still used by Elyse and her family to light the candles during the chanukah celebration less than a week before the Palisades fire destroyed there home. Elyse told me that out of everything that was destroyed in the fire that was the one  thing that could never be replaced.  During my search I needed to remove several feet of metal debris and ash. After about an hour and a half  I unearthed the sacred menorah. Elyse and her husband were amazed to see the menorah hit the light of day and miraculously relatively unscathed. there were other things that I found for her like her set of sterling silver flatware and some porcelain doll furniture that belonged to her daughter. the menorah was definitely the most sentimental  and religiously significant Item that I had the pleasure of reuniting with its family back were it belonged

Small Diamond Stud Earring Lost in the Sand, Newport Beach, CA. ..a Miracle Recovery

Metal Detector Man available to come to your location to find your lost item … Call or text 949-500-2136


*** Margret dropped both pieces of her diamond stud earring in the sand. While on the sand at Newport Beach, Margret noticed she had not taken her diamond stud earrings off before coming to the beach. When she removed them from her ear, she dropped one set in the sand as she attempted to put the backing on the shank. Both the stud and the backing disappeared separately in the sand.

When she called me, I told her that some small gold stud earrings may not be detectable with most metal detectors. If it was not too small, I have the best equipment to find small gold. I don’t like to give false hope.

I met her on the beach soon after talking to her. I brought two different detectors incase one  detector could not pick up a signal from the one earring she still had. That was a good move, because my high frequency detector struggled to get a decent signal. My multi-frequency detector did a little bit better with the backing giving the best signal. My back up would be sifting the sand with a small gauge sifter that gold prospectors use to classify gravel.

Long story short, the backing was found with the Minelab Manticore metal detector and the stud was found visually within 12 inches of the earring backing. I’m glad I didn’t have to resort to sifting that 8ft.x 8ft. area.

Margret was very happy to have her favorite sentimental earring back. I’m sure they don’t know how lucky we were to find this earring. Most people don’t understand how difficult it is to operate a metal detector and metal detectors have limits. Especially small items.

Gold diamond wedding ring lost inside Airbnb, found by Florida Ring Finder…Kissimmee, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Prompt Metal Detecting Service available now…Mike the Florida Ring Finder is here to help you in your time of need! Call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Kennedy and her family were spending some vacation time here in sunny Florida at an Airbnb when early Sunday morning her young 2 year old daughter decided to collect her mom’s rings and hide them throughout the house. When Kennedy woke up she found one of her diamond rings on the kitchen floor and the other one tucked snugly in a corner of her daughters bed blankets. And the diamond wedding ring was no where to be found. Kennedy was beginning to feel desperate knowing they only had a few more days of vacation before heading back home to Michigan. Later that evening she typed into Google « Help me find my ring » and up popped one of my successful ring recovery stories and she sent me a text asking for my help. House searches are not always easy and thankfully there were a lot less toys and cloths and furniture and shoes, etc to look through being as it is a vacation rental. I started in the kitchen and using a very strong flashlight I searched carefully making my way to the 5 bedrooms upstairs…checking bathrooms and closets, under beds and in blankets. An hour and a half later I made my way downstairs and began in the laundry room where there were piles of cloths and suitcases. Ten minutes later…BINGO! There, behind a large suitcase, simply hiding down by the baseboard was Kennedy’s lost diamond wedding ring! Kennedy writes, »Mike and theringfinders are so kind and are life savers. Being from out of town on vacation, I had a limited time to find my wedding ring after my toddler hid it in our Airbnb. Mike was so helpful and found it within two hours. I am so thankful! »

Kennedy and her mother were so delighted and were beaming from ear to ear, saying how thankful they were for my help. How I thank God for allowing me to find her ring and to help bring relief and joy to their hearts!

Have you lost something and need help? Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!
Mike McInroe…looking for an opportunity to help you!
