** James called me 4 days after losing his college class ring. He had been at Three Arch Bay in Laguna Beach,  CA. It’s was a family gathering on this private beach. He put his gold college graduation ring in the cupholder of beach chair. After leaving the beach he realized, he had not put his ring back on his finger.

He was given my contact information by another resident of this private beach. I got his story of the circumstances of the loss with a general location. That was enough to give me an area to search without having him meet me at the beach. It took about an hour to find his ring which must have fallen out of the beach chair as they walked off the beach.. Another successful ring recovery for a nice guy. It was my pleasure to help James.

Here’s a real recent success story from Ventura Harbor:I received a call on Sunday afternoon from George, who was heartbroken after losing his wedding ring the day before at Ventura Harbor. His family had spent time in two spots: the grassy area between Island Packers and the restaurants, and the beach across the street. The ring vanished sometime that morning to afternoon.I headed out at sunrise to grid the northwest quadrant of the grass—where George thought it was most likely lost. After an hour and a half of careful searching and finding only loose change, the ring still hadn’t turned up. I called George for more details on the beach location, and he mentioned struggling to set up a canvas canopy by burying the poles in the sand. That’s when it clicked—the ring likely slipped off during that exact moment!
The beach stretched about 300 yards, but with George’s directions, I started sweeping the targeted area. Just 10 minutes in, my Minelab Manticore hit a solid signal. I dug with my CKG scoop—and out came George’s beautiful gold wedding ring! I called him immediately with the great news and arranged a quick drop-off at his house.

2xLOST, 100+yr OLD, WEDDING SET IN WILLOW SPRINGS, NC……FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

A friend of mine, Ray Mann, who is also a friend of Justin Wahrenburg, referred me to his neighbor whose wife had lost her wedding ring set in their backyard about a month ago. My friend Justin was actually my very first ring recovery I ever made as a member of “The Ring Finders.”

These rings were incredibly special — over 100 years old and originally purchased in Charlotte, North Carolina. Because of their age and history, they were truly irreplaceable in so many ways.

He contacted me, and I told him I could come out that same day to search for them.

After carefully scanning the entire backyard using a VDI range of 40–75 and not finding anything, I decided to adjust my settings to 35–65 and start again from the beginning. Within minutes, I got a signal reading VDI 37 and uncovered the first ring. About five feet away, I picked up another signal reading VDI 38 — the second ring!

Turns out I had simply missed them earlier because of my original settings.

Needless to say, the whole family was overjoyed. They had been praying and believing the rings would be found.

Her husband actually filmed the moment, and her reaction when the rings were returned was captured on video.

Moments like this are exactly why I love doing what I do — finding something so meaningful and getting it back where it belongs.

I received a frantic call from Fernando asking if I could possibly help him find his fiancee’s lost ring in a horse pasture in Ocala and if I could come right away. I asked a few questions to help determine the likelihood of actually being able to find her ring and he assured me that she dropped it somewhere in a 30 square foot area of grass, sand and leaves. Two hours later I met Fernando and his fiancee and they showed me the area where the ring was lost. (Fernando had purchased a cheap metal detector and spent a few hours digging in the dirt and had become quite frustrated with all the noise and energy spent and coming up with nothing to show in the end. They searched the internet for help and came across theringfinders.com and one of my recent recovery stories and decided to give me a call.)

It only took 10 minutes to cover the target area and I then began to expand my searching and I actually spotted the edge of the lost ring a few feet away. I motioned to Fernando to come take a look at what I found and he was so relieved and so very thankful! Fernando’s fiancees eyes were filled with tears as she gently put her lost ring back on her finger.

Lost Ring Playing VolleyBall at Corona Delmar Beach in Southern California .. Found Using a Metal Detecting Service

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Your ring lost in the sand is not lost forever.. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man  … 949-500-2136 .. Professional metal detecting service available to give you advice or meet you at your location .


** It was a weekend Sunday afternoon when I got a call to help find a ring lost at Corona Delmar beach. They had lost a gold ring while playing volleyball and were still at the location. I was nearby, so I met them on the beach with my state of the art metal detecting equipment.

They told me that two rings were lost in the sand.  I was amazed that they had been able to find one of the rings hand searching the sand.
Anyway, I recovered the other ring shortly after starting a grid search with my state of the art metal detector. It was a big family group and they were all happy to see how easy it was to find the other ring. It’s always a special moment to see how happy people are when we can find a sentiment keepsake that they thought was impossible to find in a mass of sand.

Demetri contacted me about his lost gold ring and explained how he even purchased a cheap metal detector and spent a few frustrating hours searching his yard and only found a handful of junk. He had done some yard work and showed me all the places where he spent time digging and trimming bushes and cutting roots to make way for a good sized above ground planter box. I got busy grid searching for his lost gold ring and I quickly covered the key areas in the front of the house and then proceeded to the side and eventually to the back yard…and his ring was just not there. I asked Demetri more questions about where else he went on the day his ring went missing and he remembered that he had played with his kids in the neighbors front yard. So I figured why not give it a try. Again I began a systematic grid search and on the fourth pass I got a good signal that registered in the gold range and low and behold there was Demetri’s lost gold ring…just laying there in the grass!

Demetri was overjoyed and could not stop smiling! Maybe you have lost a ring or something special and need a ring finders help! Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk.

Lost 2 day old gold/diamond ring….Found in Manteca!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

Chet was performing work on his quarter acre property in Manteca, CA.  He was moving around old tractors and a trailer full of steel beams.  At the end of the day, he made the discovery that the ring he had just received two days earlier for Valentine’s Day was now missing somewhere on the property.  He did a fair amount of searching for himself and even borrowed a metal detector from a friend with no luck.

When he contacted me through theringfinders.com he admitted to have not been able to sleep and even called himself a « desperate man ».  He felt awful when he had to come clean about the lost ring, but after talking to me, he was looking forward to a brighter day.

Well, that day came.  I performed a hasty search of the target area.  It was loud and there was trash everywhere. After 45 minutes, I decided to set up my grids and put on the tiny coil for purpose of better target separation.  I was in my second « swim lane » when I got a booming double beeper.  A perfect 13 in every direction.  We had made the recovery!!!

Just barely under the surface and very near our first search area I moved some tree clippings to reveal this gold and diamond beauty.  It was then that I turned it over to a very thankful Chet before taking some celebratory photos and cleaning up my grid.

It was a joyous afternoon for us both and I thank Chet for his good conversation and fantastic fruit he provided.

Newlyweds Lost Engagement Ring lost in Backyard in Sevierville TN

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Recovered After Weeks Missing in Backyard
There’s something extra special about helping a newlywed recover a lost engagement ring — especially when they’ve only been married three months.
I received a call from a young lady named Kendall who was understandably upset. Her engagement ring had been missing for about two to three weeks. She had lost it somewhere in her backyard and despite searching multiple times, it was nowhere to be found.
Like many people would, Kendall and her husband decided to take matters into their own hands. They purchased a metal detector and carefully searched the yard themselves. Unfortunately, without experience using the equipment — and not knowing exactly what signals to listen for — they had no luck locating the ring.
After weeks of frustration, they turned to the internet for help. That’s when they came across The Ring Finders and found my name, Phillip Mendez, listed as a local ring finder. They reached out, hopeful but understandably nervous.
When I arrived, Kendall showed me the areas where she believed the ring might have slipped off. Newly landscaped yards and thick grass can easily hide a small gold band, even in plain sight. After listening carefully to her story and narrowing down the most likely zones, I began a methodical grid search.
About 30 minutes later, I got a strong, clean signal.
Just beneath the surface of the grass was Kendall’s engagement ring.
The look on her face when she saw it again — pure relief and joy — is why I do what I do. Three months into marriage is far too soon to replace a ring filled with memories and meaning. Being able to reunite her with the exact ring that marked the beginning of her forever was incredibly rewarding.
If you’ve lost something valuable — especially a sentimental item like an engagement ring — don’t give up hope. Even after weeks outside, rings can still be found with the right equipment and experience.
Another happy ending, and another reminder that sometimes the right search makes all the difference.
