Mother’s Day was a perfect day and my wife, Myrna, and I topped it off with a bike ride to our community pool. When we returned, I was putting away the bikes when I got the call from Yanaia. She said that they were at the beach and lost a ring. I could sense the distress in the tone of her voice. I hopped into the car and headed her way.
When I arrived, the beach was packed, and Yan was waving me down. I found out that her husband, Eddy, was the one who lost the ring…a heavy gold Cartier wedding band. I thought to myself, “this should be easy!”
Eddy was standing in the middle of a tidal pool that was roughly 20ft in diameter. He was holding a metal stick to mark where he thought he lost the ring, and his expression was very worried.
I fired up the Manticore and began the search. I swepted over the middle spot of the tidal pool where it was obvious, they had been digging. Nothing. I expanded the search in a spiral outward until I had covered the entire tidal pool. Nothing but a penny, a trash item, and a very small screw.
I began to grid off around the water and toward the beach, going into the surf somewhat. I stopped and prayed. This search should not be this difficult! As I expanded toward the driving lanes, I got a great hit and suspected success. I heard the tell-tale jangle in the scoop and saw gold!
As I handed the ring to Eddy, his expression changed in an instant from desperation to exuberance. I was the recipient of hugs from Yanaia and Ariana. Cheers from Jose, Joshua, and people all around! The item that was lost was found.
Late on Saturday evening I received a call from Tanner, asking if I could help finding his lost wedding ring. During an unexpected heat spell, he and his wife had gone to one of our beautiful Oregon parks to enjoy some cooling waters.
After their time there, he discovered his custom engraved Tungsten wedding ring was missing.We exchanged a few texts and agreed to meet there on Sunday afternoon.
I loaded up my detectors, and my waders, and and headed for the park. I arrived earlier than our agreed upon time, so texted Tanner for more details on the possible location they had been in.
I began grinding the creek, working the pretty steady current. For a popular park, the creek bed was surprisingly clean, with just two pull-tabs found.Shortly later, Tanner and his wife arrived and found me, probably because I was the only person in the water with a metal detector.
Turns out I was not in the right area.
They took me to the correct location, showing me where they had placed their chairs, and waded into the creek, adding a few more details about their activities.
Tanner told me it wasn’t until they were driving home when he noticed his ring was missing. They had resigned themselves the ring was gone, when Tanner’s wife did a google search about finding a lost ring, landing on Ringfinders.In the correct spot, Tanner waded into the creek, and his wife was was on her hands and knees searching through the grass where they had placed their chairs. I used the Equinox to scan through the grass, and only got trashy signals, or deep ones.
I ventured into the creek, finding a pull-tab and a dime. A bit further upstream I got that sweet signal in my headphones, and in the knee deep water, there was the black Tungsten ring in the gravel of the creek bed. I called over to Tanner and pointed it out, and he immediately scooped it out of the water.
So happy to see a nice young couple reunited with a precious memory though lost forever.
Thank you for your generosity, and best wishes for the new addition to your family.
Hunter and his family were here visiting from Arizona and spent the day at the beach in Coronado. While brushing sand off his hands, his gold wedding ring went flying into the soft dry sand. Everyone tried to help find it by raking their fingers through the sand in hopes that they could snag it that way. Unfortunately, that rarely works, and their efforts were in vain. In their search for help, TheRingFinders.com was recommended which brought them to my contact information. As chance would have it, I was already out detecting that day and just had to jump into my vehicle and head over to Coronado. A half hour later, I’m on the scene getting the story and probable location of the ring. About 30 seconds later, I got my first signal, and one right in the range of a typical man’s gold band. Into the sand went the pin pointer, and out came Hunter’s ring. Vacation mood saved and off to dinner they went to celebrate. A pleasure meeting you all, and thank you for the reward.
On Wednesday, May 8th I received a voicemail from Anne Marie, in part asking if I could help find property markers. She also said they had purchased a cheap metal detector, and it was going off, but they couldn’t find the markers. She said she had attempted to call the surveyor that had done their original survey but couldn’t get a hold of them. Their intentions are to install a fence. I returned her call and told her I’d be glad to look for the markers and we agreed to meet today, Friday.
Today, as I was getting ready to go, I was checking my equipment, and my pin pointer wasn’t working properly. Not good! I had to stop by my Detector dealer and pick up a new pin pointer and then was on my way. When I got there, I met Anne Marie and her husband Dave, and we got to work. Anybody that’s ever looked for property markers knows there’s always at least 1 that is very elusive, in our case there were 2, both in the front yard. The first one in the front was between the water shut off, the septic overflow, telephone poll and a neighbor’s bush. There were also sheets of tin and some nails around the marker, all fun stuff! The second marker in the front was between the other neighbor’s water meter box, paver patio and a metal fence. Plus, the marker was buried deeper, probably from the added layers of dirt for the patio. Took Dave and I awhile but we found all 4 markers. Dave hammered in yellow markers that are now visible. Now Anne Marie and Dave can get their fence done.
Anne Marie and Dave – Thanks for trusting me to help find your markers. Good luck with your fence.

Nikki Ciaccio was sitting on her deck talking to her dad when a very sentimental ring flew off her finger. Her dad immediately contacted me after finding my profile on The RingFinders. I returned his call and we made plans to search their yard the next day. The ring has been handed down to the ladies of the family since the early 1900’s, on their 16th birthdays. Nikki said she has worn the ring since receiving it from her mother, who just recently passed away.
They showed me the area where they thought the ring could have fallen from the deck. Nikki watched me search for awhile and then as she turned to go inside, I got a hit and found her ring. She ran back to me and gave me a big hug. I was so happy to return the ring to her and see her smiles. When needing professional metal detector service in Eastern, PA, call Tracy at 610-207-8677

Josh and his family began their day at 7AM, setting up their tent at the picturesque Cove in Brigantine, New Jersey. However, sometime during the day, Josh discovered that his wedding band had gone missing. He speculated that it might have slipped off while he was changing his son’s diaper near their truck. Determined to recover the wedding band, Josh met with me later that day at the spot where they had set up camp. After digging several potential targets, I finally unearthed the lost wedding band – a fantastic conclusion to an eventful day in Brigantine, NJ.

It’s not too often I get calls about lost keys or key fobs, let alone from a 10 year old, but on Monday May 6th that all changed. The young boy requested that I come look for a set of keys that found their way off of a deck and onto a slope covered with ivy, blackberry, and other organic debris. Of course I asked if the young boy would be assisting me and that I had an extra metal detector that I’d be glad to share. Excitedly, we scheduled the search the following afternoon after school had gotten out.
It took 30 minutes or so to make my way to Oakland, CA were the key fob made it’s way into the wilds. Upon arrival, I met the family including mom, dad, and several siblings. They showed me to the scene of the mishap and explained that while swinging a rope the boy accidentally struck the keys sending them into the void below. A search ensued but produced no results. My first thoughts were that I asked a young 10 year old boy to assist me and now was looking at a very steep and hazardous looking slope entangled in ivy and blackberry vines. But after producing my back-up machine to the boy and a garret pin-pointer to another sibling, there was no turning back.
The four of us, myself, the two boys, and dad (who was assisting by removing thorny blackberry vines from the slope) started a hasty search of the steep hillside. The boys were excited every time the metal detectors sounded off and they quickly set out to discover what had made the machine scream out. The hillside was riddled with targets like bottle caps, pull tabs, aluminum cans, and a large number of other interesting items. After about 20 minutes of looking, dad said that he may have saw something on the slope while pulling out vines and the two boys rushed to confirm the presence of the object. First the young boy with the metal detector confirmed something metallic, then the sibling with the pin-pointer narrowed the search. Moments later, with a bit of careful probing, WE MADE THE RECOVERY!
After a short celebration our little crew, and now mom and other siblings, collected on flatter ground for a little exploration and metal detecting. For another 30 minutes or so we located and dug a plethora of targets, mostly do-dads and trash, but everyone was having a fun and educational experience. Overall, the search for the wayward key fob and mini-hunt that followed was hugely successful. Thank you kindly for allowing me to provide this service, I always love to get those willing and able involved into the search and having an interactive experience.
This was our target today!
A substitute picture of myself for the book of smiles!

Meredith was at Coronado Beach with her son. She took off her wedding and engagement rings to apply some lotion, set the rings in her lab, and forgetting they were there, stood up to shake some sand off her blanket. She didn’t notice where the rings landed, but, searched the best she could sifting sand through her fingers to no avail. An online search brought her to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. I gathered my gear and headed there before she had to leave and before the chance someone else detecting might find them. After getting the story on how the rings ended up in the sand, I figured the most likely place to start was right in front of the blanket where she first stood up before she shook the blanket. Sure enough, 10 seconds later and the first signal was both her rings in one scoop. A pleasure to meet you and your son Meredith and thank you for the reward.

Moses called me with frustration and sadness in his voice. He and his wife Lisa ended up in a fight. Lisa took off her beautiful rings and slammed them down on the table. The two rings were Lisa’s platinum engagement ring (which consisted of multiple diamonds down both sides of the band and a halo of diamonds surrounding a 1 carat cushion shaped diamond in the center) and also Lisa’s platinum wedding band (which consisted of multiple diamonds decorated down the lovely ornate style band).
Moses was so angry when Lisa took her rings off while she declared that they were finished, that he grabbed the jewelry, opened up their sliding door and threw both rings out towards the back of their house.
When things cooled down, Moses bought a metal detector that he called « a Chinese detector » and searched for the two rings for hours in the back yard. Unfortunately, the distraught young man could not find his wife’s rings anywhere. That’s when Moses went online and discovered the elite international directory of metal detectorists called THE RING FINDERS. He found my contact profile and immediately reached out to me. I got all of the details of the story and we scheduled a time for me to come out to conduct the search for the two missing rings.
When I arrived at the property, Moses had already left for work and I introduced myself to Lisa. I made her feel comfortable and shared that this is a very common situation that us ring finders deal with on a regular basis regarding couples that get into fights and in the end the rings go flying.
I gathered up all of my gear, placed everything on a wagon and set up my search camp in the back yard. Moses did not know if the rings ended up in the neighbor’s yard behind his property. There was metal fencing which would end up being a problematic situation for me to metal detect along that area. So, I was hoping that the precious jewels came to rest someplace away from the border of my client’s property.
The first thing I did was lay down grid lines across the lawn, starting two thirds distance away from the house (approximately 50 feet from the back of the house). Just as I was walking to my first spot to begin detecting, my detector (which I was carrying with me, almost brushing the coil (the loop at the bottom of the shaft) softly across the grass as I moved into position on the hill slope) picked up a signal which I could hear in my headphones that I was wearing. Even though I was in the middle of the grid lane that I would eventually travel pass, I decided to stop, back up, and investigate the curious signal that my machine alerted me to.
I swung my coil a few times over the area where I heard the tone and to my greatest surprise…there it was…I found the first ring! It was Lisa’s gorgeous diamond engagement ring! I couldn’t believe it! I discovered one of the two rings completely by accident! What were the odds of that?! Earlier, I prayed to the Lord before beginning the search and my « Heavenly Hero » was already once again helping me to become, yet again, a ring hero for my clients! I was thrilled!
Within another minute or so, I found the wedding band not more than a few feet from where I found the other ring! The entire search was over within about 5 minutes! I could not have been happier and even more so for my two clients!
It was a special moment for me to safely return both sentimental rings to their proper owner. Lisa was most grateful and extremely impressed with how fast I was able to recover her treasures. I had to be completely honest with her in explaining that I had to give all glory and credit to God above for helping me stumble across the first diamond ring which quickly led me to find the second one!
Before leaving, Lisa allowed me to say a prayer for she and her husband. I then packed up my gear, headed back to my car, and drove away with a tremendous feeling of joy in my heart knowing how I was able to help bring that tumultuous and trial-filled chapter for that couple finally to an end.
