Lost your ring/sentimental items/cell phone/keys – Call ASAP 24/7 Metal Detecting Service (Chris 778-838-3463)

 

Yesterday I got a phone call from young man who needed help finding his wedding band that fell below the wood planks on his patio. He search, but could not find it. It was hard for him to lift up the planks to look under, the gaps were big enough for a wedding ring to fall through.

When I got there, I brought my endoscope camera, my Metal Detector, and a test ring on a rope so I could drop it between the cracks and be able to see if my metal detector would pick it up 3 inches down with all the inference from the nails and other bits of metal under the patio.

I started to use my endoscope in areas. I knew my Metal Detector would be having a hard time due to the metal railings. I did not find it and I picked up the Metal Detector and started grid searching the patio. After about 30 minutes, I got a nice  signal so I took out my endoscope took a look under the boards to see his beautiful gold wedding man.

I like searches that are outside of the box not quite as normal as most searches that test my abilities, I was excited to be able to reconnect this young man with his lost wedding band as he was only married for six weeks.

I love my job!

Lost Gold Diamond Engagement Band in Plain City, OH. “FOUND”

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

I received a call about a Gold Diamond Engagement Band lost during while playing volleyball in the backyard. The wedding band stayed on but the engagement band flew off as going up for the ball. They have searched themselves with no luck. We was able to confirm the best time to complete a search. Search and search the area as the net was already taken down and trying to pin point the location of the net was key in this search. After searching and checking all of the area and spots, there was the ring in the grass. She was very happy to have the ring returned to her and now can completed with the wedding band.

BEACH FIND ON SPRING FED POND IN BYRON CENTER, MI:

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Gregg Larabel had his friend Sherrie give him a call and said she had a friend that lost her ring on the beach in her backyard.  Gregg was out of the area so he gave this search to me.  I arrived and met Sherrie and she took me to the backyard to meet her 2 friends, Andrea being one of them.  The 2 ladies were enjoying the sandy beach with their kids.  Andrea took off her rose gold ring and put it on top of the cooler and then the cooler was opened and the ring went flying.  They showed me where the cooler was sitting and I took one swing and got a good signal.  I gave Andrea the pinpointer and let her retrieve the ring which blended in with the sand and made it hard to see.  Smiles all around and another successful hunt.

Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This 3rd ring call of the day started with a text from Cayla. Cayla’s text started with “Hey how much are your services?” I told her that I do this on a reward/gratuity basis with 10% going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Honor of the giver. She responded saying “My husband has no faith on you finding his ring, we are in north Myrtle. He shook his hand and the ring flew off. This was around 12 this morning.” I ask her to call me. I was within blocks of where they were staying, so I pulled into a parking lot and waited for a response. In the meantime, I sent her a link to my Ring Finders page showing my Bio, number of finds, etc. When she did call, she told me her husband thought she was crazy because he thought his ring had been taken out to sea. When she told me the ring had come off in the dry sand, I assured her the ring would be right where it came off. I also told her if she was real sure of the area he lost it; we had a great chance of finding it. Cayla agreed to have me come over.

It took less than 10 minutes to get there, and Cayla met me in the parking lot. We walked out to the beach and were followed by many members of the family, who all doubted the ring could be found. Cayla and a few others showed me the area. I thought this should be a piece of cake, except for the metal drainage pipe that ran underneath the sand. I started a grid search and turned down the sensitivity as I passed over the pipe. Within just a few grid lines, I got a solid 17 on the VDI (visual Display Indicator). I knew that number was exactly what I was looking for. I looked up at Cayla and gave her a little smile and started digging. It took 3 scoops to get it out of the hole, which surprised me, but I got it out. After finding it in the sand from the scoop, I held it up and Cayla came running. She was happy we found it, but I think happier that she made the right decision to call for help. Cayla and I had fun teasing the doubters, especially her husband Brittian when he came down to the beach. All in good fun!

Cayla – Thank you for trusting me to help find Brittian’s lost ring. So glad I could help and have a good time doing it. All the best to you and yours!

White Gold Necklace with Diamond Pendant Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This was my second call of the day, and it started with a text from Emma saying, “Hi I saw the website and I lost a necklace. I’m not sure of your pricing. I lost a necklace, it’s very sentimental to me and I will pay anything just to find it again. We’re in North Myrtle. Is there any way we can pay you to help me. Just give me a call back or text messages. Thank you. Have a good one!” I called the number attached to the text to get more details. One of the things she told me was that the necklace and pendant were stainless steel. Emma explained that her mother had gotten her the necklace and that her mother has since passed away. I told Emma I had a slight delay but would be there as quick as I could.

When I got there, I met Emma at the boardwalk to the beach, and we walked out on the beach. Emma told me that she had taken the necklace off and given it to a friend. The friend put it in a hat and set it on the beach. As they were leaving the beach, the friend picked up the hat and put it on his head. At that point he remembered the necklace, but it was too late. The necklace quickly disappeared into the dry sand. They spent a lot of time looking for it with no luck, hence the phone call to me. I started outside the search area, but Emma moved me a little lower on the beach. A couple of grid lines, I hit a solid 10 on the metal detector. Since she said it was stainless steel, I was expecting a signal in the 20s. I moved the sand with my foot looking for the item. Finally, I got a little glimmer of something shiny. I reached down and pulled out Emma’s Necklace and handed it to her. I told Emma that I thought her necklace was white gold instead of stainless steel based on the number I got on the detector and what I was looking at. Regardless of the metal it is or isn’t, Emma got her very precious necklace back and was very happy.

Emma – Thank you for calling me and letting me help find your very sentimental necklace back where it belongs.

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.
