Man’s White and Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Recovered and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Shortly after 11 a.m., I received a text from my son-in-law, Donnie who’s a North Myrtle Beach Police Officer asking, “Can you come to 23rd Ave South, ring?” I replied “sure.” He then added, “It’s in the water, kind of shallow but the tide is coming in. 2 hours before high tide.” He also sent me a name (Clete) and a phone number. I called Clete to get a few more details and told him I’d be there in about 10 minutes.

When I arrived at the beach, I met Clete as I was coming off the boardwalk. He walked me out to the area where he had marked the spot with a kid’s shovel buried in the sand. He said it was 50 steps out to the area. I looked at what 50 steps would approximately be, and I was prepared to get wet, but 50 steps would put me under water. Then he let me know it was 50 heel to toe steps, ok a little better.  I had him mark off the steps and he ended up about waist deep in the water. I turned my machine on and started my walk out to him. The water was cold!!! I caught a few waves that put me shoulder deep, but things were good. I did a couple of grid lines from shore to the spot with no luck. I then started at his spot and worked a grid around that spot. Suddenly, I got a good signal ringing up between 10-12. For the type ring he described, I was in the ballpark. I had to keep the coil on the target and butt the scoop up against the coil. Then move the coil out of the way to try and dig the target. After the third scoop, I had the target in the scoop. I let the waves wash the sand out of the scoop and Bingo; Clete’s ring was staring up at me from the bottom of the scoop. I removed the ring and clutched it in a closed fist as I walked back to shore. I looked up and saw Clete and Ashley, his wife, making their way towards me. Clete asked, “Did you find it?” I held out my fist and handed his lost treasure back to him. He was so relieved and grateful.

Donnie – thanks for the referral!

Clete – thank you for trusting me to help find and return your precious treasure. You and Ashley enjoy the rest of your family vacation!!

Lost Wedding Ring Millburn NJ… Found!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
⚽💍 Tackled by love… and then by his son!
 
Got a text Sunday evening from a wife whose husband felt his wedding ring fly off the moment his son tackled him while watching a soccer match. 👀 One second it was on his hand, the next—it was somewhere on the field!
 
We met up about 30 minutes later, and after a short search (less than 10 minutes!), I had it back in his hand. 💪🧲 The same ring he was married with—gone and found before the sun even set.
 
Great way to wrap up the week: helping someone recover a piece of their story. 💛
 
Sometimes the biggest wins come from the smallest things we find.

MY BEST RECOVERY, A LOST GOLD & SILVER HOARD FOUND

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Barry who claimed to be eccentric, buried his stash of 30 gold Maple Leafs, 40 Quarter oz Gold  coins, 1500 Silver Maple Leafs,  and various other coins under his patio in boxes and bags, he went to retrieve some of them that he buried shallow on the edge of the patio. After digging for a couple of hours and his hands all blistered, he got a friend with a metal detector to help him locate the coins with no  success. Now he is devastated that they can not be found, he searched the internet and found me, asking if I could assist him. I drove the over 100k to his home and had a lengthy conversation with him, as he told me that he had talked about the coins with his neighbour. I then crawled under his patio with my metal detector not feeling very confident. After crawling around for 20 minutes and digging a few nails I got a fairly decent signal, digging down around 6 or 7 inches I saw a garbage bag and dug around it only to hit a bright yellow monster box that holds silver maple leafs. We were both excited and after detecting and digging  around, I found the bulk of his coins in plastic coin tubes, except the ones we suspect his neigbour found. What a great guy, his intent is to donate the coins to various Children`s Charities.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered – Houston Metal Detecting Services

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered – Houston Metal Detecting Services
Rishi reached out to Houston Metal Detecting Services with hope and a little doubt. Several months earlier, his wife had lost her cherished wedding ring in a patch of grass at her parents’ home. They had searched tirelessly at the time, but the ring seemed to have vanished.
This wasn’t just any ring—it was the one that had been blessed during their wedding ceremony, a deeply meaningful symbol of their union and faith. The loss weighed heavily on them both.
We made arrangements and headed to the property. After listening to Rishi’s account of the day it was lost and walking the area where they believed it might have fallen, we began the search.
Despite the time that had passed and the thick grass that had grown since, it didn’t take long to get a solid signal. The lost ring was just a few inches below the surface, buried in the soil, still as beautiful and meaningful as ever.
When we handed the ring back to Rishi, the relief and joy on his face said it all. It wasn’t just about the ring—it was about restoring something priceless to their story.

Episode 43, Saving David’s Texas A&M Class Ring

Episode 43, Saving David’s Texas A&M Class Ring
It was a crisp January morning when I met David at a duck hunting lease in Pattison, Texas. David, a proud member of Texas A&M’s Class of 2025, had lost his cherished Aggie ring while on a weekend duck hunt with friends. The ring had been loose on his finger for some time, and despite his best efforts to keep it secure, it now lay somewhere beneath two feet of water in a muddy rice field.
David explained that the mishap occurred just after sunrise while deploying decoys in preparation for the hunt. Knowing the ring was loose, he had placed it in his pocket for safekeeping. However, later in the morning, he reached for his phone in the same pocket, and the ring slipped out, disappearing into the murky water.
When I arrived, David greeted me with a mix of optimism and concern. “I’ve narrowed it down to about a 20 by 20 area,” he said, pointing toward the flooded field. His friends had marked the spot with a reed, which proved to be a wise decision. I commended him for thinking ahead; marking the location of a lost item in water is critical to any successful recovery.
We grabbed my gear and made the short trek across the field to the hunting blind. The water was cold, and the mud beneath our feet reminded me why patience and determination were key in recoveries like this. David stood near the reed marker, watching intently as I began the search.
Sweeping the detector slowly and methodically, I worked through the grid David had indicated. Within moments, I got a strong signal. Carefully, I shoveled up the target with my XTREME Scoop, and through the mud and grass in the scoop, I could see David’s Aggie ring.
The relief and joy on David’s face said it all. “I can’t thank you enough,” he said. “This ring means everything to me.”
This recovery was a reminder of the importance of acting quickly when something valuable is lost, especially in water. Marking the spot, as David had done, significantly increases the chances of success. He would be heading back to school with his class ring—and a great story to tell.

Man’s Rose Gold Wedding Band Lost in a Severe Storm on the Beach – Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Last night I received a text message about 12:20 am from Savannah saying, “Hello, my husband and I are at North Myrtle Beach, and we were out this afternoon taking family pictures with our children and got stuck in a really bad storm and as we were running off the beach my husband’s ring flew off. I was wondering if you guys helped find rings or if you knew someone that could. We know the area it fell off but think sand is over it due to how bad the wind was.” I immediately responded asking her to call me, which she did. I got a few more details and told her I could be there in about 10 minutes. She agreed, so I grabbed 2 detectors and headed out. I don’t like to leave a ring on the beach for too long. There’s so many locals and tourist that metal detect all hours of the day/night depending on the tides. So, there’s always a chance a ring will be found and kept by the finder.

I arrived at the location and Savannah and her husband, Dwight was waiting for me in the parking lot. They walked me out to the area, and I could see that they had put in a good effort to try and find the ring with their hands. It wasn’t a real big area, but after quite a while of gridding and then cross gridding, I wasn’t finding Dwight’s ring. They decided to call it a night sometime after 2 am, after I assured them I’d text them when I found it. I grabbed my second detector, with a 15” coil out of the car and started all over again. I expanded the search area 10 ft past the end point and worked an east/west grid. I went from the bottom of the dunes to the top of the slope, probably 35-40 yards end to end. By now, I was way outside the assumed area Dwight said he felt his ring slide off his finger. After at least another 30 minutes, I got a very loud and solid signal. It showed me a vdi (visual display indicator) of 20-21. Of all the rings I’ve found, a man’s Rose Gold band was not one of them, so I didn’t know what number to expect. I dug a shallow scoop of sand and saw a quick glimmer of gold as I lifted up the scoop. Shook the scoop and there was Dwight’s ring sitting in the bottom of the scoop. BINGO! It was now 3 am, but I text Savannah anyway with a picture of the ring. Almost instantly she responded, “Coming down now, thank you SO MUCH. We met up and I handed Dwight back his lost treasure. Both were extremely happy. We met up again this afternoon so I could get some pictures. This is their last day of vacation so at least it’ll be a good one! Looking back on this find and discussing it with Savannah and Dwight, there’s no logical explanation of how the ring ended up so far away from where it should have been. The only thing we could come up with is that the wind was blowing so hard, it literally blew his ring 30-40 yards down the beach. It was a very strong wind though!

Savannah/Dwight – Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to help find your treasure. Best of luck to you both and have a safe trip back home.

Jim

Huntington City Beach Lost IPhone Found and Returned from Sand at Dog Beach

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

Call or Text Stan the Metal Detector Man for reliable metal detecting help anywhere in Southern California .. Beaches, Parks, Yards, Water, Homes or Cars.. 949-500-2136


*** Jordan called me after leaving Dog Beach at Huntington City Beach, CA. After the family left the beach, his wife realized her phone was missing. They were already at a resturant and could not meet me at the general location until later.

I told him it wasn’t necessary to meet me at the location if he could send GPS co-ordinates of where they had taken photos.

He sent me the GPS co-ordinate numbers and I was able to get to the location to find the cellphone under 4-5” under the sand.

They were still at the resturant when I called him, so I suggested it would be easy for me to deliver the iPhone to him at the resturant.

When I met Jordan he told me I saved their vacation as they would be returning to Utah next week. He was a little camera shy so you have to see my smile.

Im avalailabe to help you soometimesv you do not have to be present for me to do the search.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. STAN ..949-500-2136

Lost Hearing Aid Found – Raleigh

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

I got a call from Don, a nice gentleman who had lost a hearing aid while working outside on his property. I said I’d be happy to come out and see if I could find it for him — I then checked the property on Google Maps. Holy Cow! Don’s property was about 8 1/2 acres! (I could search for days and not cover it all.) Don met me when I arrived and explained that he knew exactly where the hearing aid had gotten lost. He’d been pruning a bush and when he turned his body, a branch snagged the little wire that connects the « in-your-ear » part of the hearing aid with the « behind-your-ear » part. He felt it come off and after checking his ear, was positive he had the location nailed down. He put a little landscaping flag in the ground so I could search in the correct spot. The most likely scenario was that the hearing aid had been « launched » by the branch into the bush he’d been trimming, so that’s where I started my search. Using two different detectors, I spent probably 20 minutes covering that bush top to bottom and side to side — no luck. I turned to back out a little bit and widen my search, when I saw the hearing aid caught on a branch, most probably the branch that plucked it out of his ear in the first place.

I took the hearing aid over to Don who was extremely happy that he didn’t have to buy a replacement (if you don’t wear hearing aids, you may not know – these things are not cheap!). It’s usually about putting a ring back on a finger, a necklace back around a neck, or a bracelet back on a wrist, so putting a hearing aid back in an ear was a first for me! Another happy ending!
