Gold pendant lost in grass, found in Daytona Beach, Florida with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Bruce called me about a lost gold pendant in his yard and wanted to know if I could help him find it. This gold pendant was a very special gift to him from his grandmother whom he had great respect for and who had a very special place in his life and heart. Apparently a few nights earlier he and his brother were messing around and as they got out of the car they began wrestling and Bruce noticed that one end of his chain was hanging down the front of his shirt. He quickly grabbed the chain and began feeling around for his special gold pendant that he has worn since he was just a young teen. He searched the car, the driveway, his cloths and finally began looking in the grass…but very soon realized the impossibility of finding it in the thick St. Augustine grass. Later that evening he found my number online and after our conversation he started feeling a small bit of hope. Two days later I arrived and began searching the small area where the short wrestling match took place. My first set of grid searching passes turned up the normal yard trash and I soon realized that my metal detector was set on Beach Mode so I switched it to Gold Mode and I soon got the signal I was praying I would find. Bruce was so thrilled and we had a good long conversation about what the pendant meant to him and just what all his grand mother meant to him as well!

So what have you lost and how can I help you today? Call, text or leave me a message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Lost Ring Found & Returned – Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

Incline Village, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, October 4, 2026: Lost Ring Found and Returned by metal detector specialist—Trevor Oxborrow.
8:40am this morning: I was contacted by Tracy who requested a lost ring search at Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe. On the previous afternoon, Tracy’s friend Lise was swimming just south of the boat ramp, when she noticed her extremely sentimental—late Father’s Wedding Ring—was missing from her finger. All three friends, (Tracy, Jen & Lise), immediately searched for the ring. In about four to five feet of water, they saw the ring’s edge slightly visible in the soft loose sand. As they dove to retrieve it, the ring disappeared into the sandy lake bottom. Obviously they searched and did everything they could to find it, with no success.
Fast forward to 10:30am this morning, I arrived at the location. Tracy, Jen and Lise were there to help me locate the search area. They had precisely marked the area onshore and underwater.
I began searching.
One pull-tab…..another pull-tab…..a metal wire twist-tie…..then a solid, repeatable 72 on my deus2.
All three friends were equally happy to see Lise’s Father’s Ring back where it belongs.

LOST WHITE GOLD WEDDING RING TEGA CAY, SC…..FOUND!!!

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

Received a text from a young man that said his wife lost her rings in their front yard and asked me if I could come find one of the two rings. They ended up finding the engagement ring but were unable to find the wedding ring.

We agreed to Sunday morning and I get there, get my machine dialed in and start my search. The area was about 5×5 area and took me less than 5 mins find it! Took me longer to set up the machine than it took to find the ring.

They weren’t home at the time so I placed the ring in a secure spot until they got back home and they sent me a photo of his wife holding up the ring.

Another recovery and a precious ring back where it belonged!!

Lost Wedding Rings Recovered In Ventura at the Beach by Dave The RingFinder

Call or text Dave at 805-290-5009 so he can create a plan to get your ring back!

I got a call today from Megan who had been enjoying the sun and surf in Ventura today except for the fact that she lost both her engagement and wedding rings somewhere in the sand. She had taken them off for safekeeping and as usually happens, she proceeded to lose them. She was super distraught but I assured her that as long as she could put me in the general location I could find them. The beaches were packed all day due to the 100+ degree heat in Southern California so I had to wait until evening to search as the beaches were too crowded.

I got out to the area just before sunset and began to grid the area. After several passes and no ring I expanded my search and two passes later I got the double tone of two rings in the sand on my Minelab Manticore. First the wedding band and then the engagement ring. Another double ring recovery in Ventura by Dave The RingFinder!

Metal Detecting Service finds lost gold ring in grass, Umatilla Florida.

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Contact me for all your metal detecting and recovery needs. My name is Mike McInroe…Central Florida Ring Finder at 321-363-6029. On land, in the water, the grass, sand, in cars and houses…rings, jewelry, keys, phones, property markers and more!



This search began when Kimberly texted me about a lost gold ring in her front yard. She was planting flowers and setting up a new birdbath/water fountain and was working with a pile of decorative rocks. Later when she went to shower she realized her gold diamond ring was not on her finger. She thought her ring could have come off while she had her hands in the dirt while planting her flowers or maybe when she was washing her hands off with the hose over the grass. She spent an hour or so looking but soon realized she needed a metal detector and while searching the internet she came across theringfinder.com website and one of my stories and decided to give me a call.

When I arrived and looked the situation over there were a number of places where her ring could be hiding so I decided to detect the simplest place first…where she washed the dirt off of her hands. The grass was very thick but a good metal detector could easily punch down through the grass and detect a gold ring…but it was not there! I then detected the 20 small plants that Kimberly had planted thinking her gold ring could have easily slipped off while doing that action…and again no ring! Next were the decorative stones and no ring there either! Kimberly suggested pulling up the plants to make detecting easier and allowing the machine to detect deeper as well so I said ok and in the meantime I decided to cover the small grassy areas on both sides of the sort sidewalk leading from the driveway to the circular fountain and BINGO…right at the corner of the sidewalk and driveway my Deus 2 gave a sharp clear signal of #56 and as I parted the grass I could see Kimberly’s lost gold ring! Kimberly was overjoyed and so relieved and her picture gives a little glimpse of how she felt.

So how can I help you find what you have lost? Don’t wait…call, text or leave me message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!

Wellfleet Bay Wildlife, Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned By Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

October 1, 2026

The last day of September was a beautiful day for a trek thru Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, something Emma and her family had done quite often. This was to be a special walk with her husband of only four and a half months. One of the first things the couple spotted was the big birds, wild turkeys, something not seen in Dijon, France where the happily married couple now reside. The sun was rising and so went the temperature. There was no need for the sweater Emma was wearing, so it was removed and draped across her arm.

Another 100 or so yards up the path and with a great view of Cape Cod Bay what could be wrong? Not only wrong, but devastating, a missing wedding band. It must have been lost in the last 100 yards, so many on the walking tour went looking all along the sandy path. As usual when a ring, bracelet, keys, or the like go missing; it must be right here, but can not be found by visual searching.

As this loss needed the recommended metal detector and someone to use it, Luke was called. Luke was working and had another afternoon engagement so he refered the request to me. I answered the call for help and with the permission from the Audubon attendants, set up a 10am search. I did not realize but a group of 6 or so family members would also be there to help visually look for the ring. Several times a ring would be dropped along the path and could always be seen with the naked eyes. I would occasionally toss a nickle into the over brush just to verify that my detector was working. It also never failed to ID the target, but no ring was found. After some 3 hours the family group had to depart, but I would stay to make the trek in the reverse direction.

The ring had to be somewhere along the path. This was verified by at least three people that Emma had the ring on her finger at the start of the trek. The path was less than three feet wide and narrower in some areas. Reasoning what might have happened, I would make my last detecting the left side of the trail as the wedding band was on the hand closest to that side. At the point were the ring was noticed being lost, I did a 180 and started back to the parking lot. This time walking in the center of the path and swinging wide to each side. Aha, a solid signal, but it was too high of a reading on my detector to be a gold ring, but I dug it anyway…it was a 1988 quarter. It was only the 3rd target I dug and the other two were just out of a need for a break from detecting. I stood up, swung the coil again and another solid signal right in the middle of the sandy path. I flicked my finger at the sand and there was the ring so many people had walked over looking for.
