How to find water shutoff with a metal detector, Forked River NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

 

Tom asked if possibly I would be available to help locate his city water shutoff in the front yard. Years ago, he had done some landscaping, laying down landscape fabric and stones, thinking he would remember the shutoff location. Many years later, he decided to place a box with a lid over the shutoff for easy access in case of emergencies. Unfortunately he was not able to find it partially because of the roots that had grown over the entire area, making it impossible to dig.

I arrived at his house and carefully searched the area until I found the strongest, most consistent signal matching the steel iron of the shutoff valve. A nearby maple tree had sent large roots sprawling through the area, making it nearly impossible to dig. We had to use a hatchet and an axe to cut through the thick roots. Sure enough, about six inches down, we uncovered the valve.

Now, Tom can clear the space and install a commercial access box, ensuring the shutoff will always be easy to locate and use.

14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in Resort Parking Garage, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This search started on Sunday Sept. 14, 2025, just before 4 pm with a text from Cody saying, “Hi Jim, I found your number on a metal detecting page. We just stayed at Sands Resort this weekend and my wife put her ring in our backpack cooler for safe keeping. When we went to put our beach wagon back in the car, we dumped out the sand. The backpack cooler never left the wagon and her ring was gone. We can only imagine we dumped it out in the parking deck. I was wondering if this would be something you could help with. We are 4 hours away. I called the number attached to the text message and got a few more details from Cody. One of the things he told me was the ring was a yellow gold wedding band that was part of a set, but this was just the wedding band that was lost. He said they were parked on the 5th level and 2 parking spaces to the left, directly across from the elevator. He also mentioned that they had left to go back home about 8 am that day. I’m thinking that our tourist season is winding down and there should be fewer guests at the resort.  I also thought there was a pretty good chance of finding his wife, Desiree’s wedding band. I told him I’d go a little later and would let him know when I was on my way.

About 7:30 pm I sent him a text saying, “On my way.” Since this was going to be strictly a visual search, I grabbed a flashlight and a small fan rake. The rake was in case I had to reach under a car if that’s where the ring was. I got to the resort about 8 pm and needed a parking card to get into the parking lot. I had to go in and explain what was going on to the front desk clerk and she gave me a card to park. As I’m driving through the maze of the parking garage, I’m noticing the first 3 levels of parking were completely full. Not what I was hoping for. When I got to level 5, it was almost empty of cars. I parked 1 spot to the right of the elevator and walked over to the elevator to make sure I was on the 5th level. There was a car parked in the 3rd spot, left of the elevator, but they left after I started looking around with the flashlight. I checked the 1st and 2nd spot and saw nothing. So, as usual when I can’t find what I’m looking for in the area it’s supposed to be in, I expand my search out. I looked out to the 6th spot on the left with no luck, so I started back to the right. As I’m getting ready to move my car, I glanced over on the 2nd spot to the right of the elevator and noticed a small object. As I walked over to it, Bingo, there was her ring just lying on the ground. I took a picture of me holding her ring and one of just the ring and sent it to him. In the text I said, “Cody, you need to go buy you a lottery ticket, now.” He immediately responded, “Brother you are a gift!!!” I called him telling him where I found it. He was positive it should have been on the left of the elevator. So, we’re thinking it either got kicked, flung out of the cooler or possibly rolled over to where it was. How it got to where it was, we’ll never know, but I was glad it did. I asked him to send me his name and address so I could get it in the mail tomorrow, Monday. He and Desiree were very excited to be getting it back.

They got the ring back on Thursday and I got the picture of Desiree and her big smile on Saturday.

Cody – thank you for calling me to help find Desiree’s treasure.

Jim

Lost I phone… found in Waukee Iowa

Contact:

I found an I phone today that Ryan lost in a field of weeds behind his house. He said that it was lost in June and he had been searching for it ever since. He even purchased a cheap detector but was unable to find it. I was there around three hours gridding different sections before I found it. He put a charger on it and it was charging so I hope it will still work for him.

thanks for the reward Ryan

She had lost them the day before, but did a great job of remembering where they were. As the sun was setting, I was finally able to find them and reunite them with their precious rings.  They were so very thankful.

Lost diamond ring while hand feeding tarpons

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)
Contact:

This was one of my most interesting recoveries to date.  I received a call from a woman who was down on vacation and went to Robbie’s in the Florida Keys.  It’s a tourist destination and marina.  They have a section where you can feed the tarpon.  You can actually see them in some of the photos circling around me.  She had lost her ring while feeding the fish. They jump out of the water and take the fish right out of your had.  The ring was there for a couple days. I knew it was gonna be a hard recovery because that marina has been there forever and I’m sure there was 50 years worth of garbage there. But after about two hours, I was able to find it.  It made for some great pictures.

So if you’ve lost any type of jewelry anywhere, give me a call and I’ll help you find it. Call/text louis at (305) 608-1870

Lost Gold and Diamond Grill Lost Eight Months Ago Found

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Not all clients want their picture taken and some choose to keep details of how their jewelry or other treasures are lost. My client, Mr. A called me a few days ago and asked if I would look for some lost items in Georgia, even though I was in Nashville, TN. He said the lost items were an upper and lower gold grill, encrusted with several small, but very expensive diamonds. He added that they were lost six to eight months ago in heavy vegetation on a sloping hill alongside Interstate 75 in Georgia. His exact words were, “I don’t think you’ll find it.”

Challenge accepted. I made the 2.5 hour drive to the area and met Mr. A. He explained how the items were lost and pointed out and area of about 40’ down the sloping embankment by 60’ wide. He had previously cleared much of the thick brush with a weed trimmer that had a steel blade. A few weeks ago he had someone else with a metal detector check that 40’ by 60’ area that he had cleared, but the two piece grill was not found. I also started by running my detector over the cleared area and was convinced the grill was outside of the brush cleared area. This had to be the toughest terrain that I have ever detected. 20 degree slope, covered in bushes, vines, saplings that all had thorns and sap on them. Luckily after only an hour or so in the thick brush I got the tone I was hoping for. I found the bottom piece of the grill. About ten minutes later and about ten feet away I found the upper piece of the grill. Both pieces were outside of the brush-cleared area by about fifteen feet. Mr. A was very happy, and was still amazed that I found the grill after they were lost for so long. Mr. A did not want his picture taken and I forgot to take a selfie with it, but the memories I have of this recovery will last. Truly one of the more unusual searches I have done.
