Lost Rings, keys, cell phones… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP- 24/7 Metal Detecting Service for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

I received a text message in regards to how my service works and what I would charge to find a set of keys, lost on the side of the highway in tall grass or possibly in the ditch. Right away I suspected the worst, meaning someone got mad and threw the keys… I was correct on my assumption and the young man spent most of the night searching for his keys, he had to get his car towed to a friend’s place and then found me online. We discussed the search and decided to meet to find his keys.

This young man expressed how much the keys meant to him as he did not have a spare key for his car and it was going to cost him by the sounds of it over $700. Also the fact he had to have the car towed it becomes very expensive as you could imagine not to mention his work keys and house keys were very important to him.

When we met, he showed me the area and smartly marked the spot where he pulled off to the side of the road before the keys were thrown out of the car. This helps tremendously in having a successful recovery as sometimes I get to areas where people can’t put me in the exact spot. It could be off by 100 yards or more.

It didn’t take me more than five minutes before I found the young man’s keys and I got to see how happy it made him to get them back. I love my job!!!

Gardening Outside Silver Spring, Maryland House Causes ‘Three-Ring’ Circus…Lost Diamond Rings are Recovered by Ring Finder Brian Rudolph

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)
Contact:

Miriam’s white gold, 1.15 carat solitaire diamond engagement ring with an additional round accent diamond on each side. Also, a white gold, half-infinity diamond wedding band and a white gold, diamond channeled half-infinity anniversary ring – all recovered by THE RING HERO, Brian Rudolph.

Miriam expresses her excitement as she holds up her three precious irreplaceable keepsakes which metal detectorist and proud member of THE RING FINDERS, Brian Rudolph, recovered and returned to his client.

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Miriam’s white gold, 1.15 carat solitaire diamond engagement ring with additional round diamonds on each side. White gold, half-infinity diamond wedding band and a white gold, diamond channeled half-infinity anniversary ring

I received a call from Miriam who lost three rings: her diamond engagement ring, diamond wedding band, and a similar style diamond anniversary ring with channeled diamonds halfway around the band.

For an entire week Miriam looked everywhere in the house and outside where she was doing yard work. No matter how many hours she and her husband Curtis searched for the three rings, they were nowhere to be found.

At some point, Miriam went online and found METAL DETECTING ADVENTURES INC, a local metal detecting business in the Maryland area. The website directed the woman to THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in recovering lost rings and other items. That’s when she contacted me, THE RING HERO, Brian Rudolph.

I spoke with the distraught woman for some time on the phone, asking every question imaginable. Unfortunately, the garbage was already thrown out, but I gave her some other suggestions as to where to look for Miriam’s irreplaceable keepsakes. She said that she would call me back to schedule a visit if she still couldn’t find the rings.

Two weeks later (3 weeks since the initial disappearance of the jewelry), the sad and frustrated woman from Silver Spring, Maryland, called me back once again and requested my assistance in trying to recover her very special « symbols of love ». I was excited to help!

A couple of days later I arrived at the house. Between the two of us, we concluded that the only place left to search for the missing rings would be in and around the flower beds in front of the house.

I got out all of my metal detecting equipment and explained to Miriam how the search would take place. She showed me approximately 6 or 7 different locations around the front yard where she was weeding and trimming several weeks back.

Section by section, I metal detected each suspected area including scanning in and around a large hydrangea plant. I eventually moved over to the flower beds located adjacent to the foundation of the brick house. There were all kinds of miscellaneous pieces of metal discovered throughout the process of searching for the precious jewels. But eventually a very promising signal popped up on my detector screen! I got down on my knees and pinpointed the target with a handheld device. There buried in the leaves was the most beautiful sight! I found the white gold, 1.15 carat engagement ring with an additional round diamond on each side! I was beyond excited! My client began to cry!

I returned under the bushes to search for the other two rings! Within minutes, I found Miriam’s white gold, half-infinity diamond wedding band and her white gold, diamond channeled half-infinity anniversary ring, as well!

I could not have been happier for my Australian born client who had been painfully tormented for weeks not knowing if she was ever going to see her rings ever again! Miriam thanked me profusely for all of my help, starting with the endless questions that I asked her (to help get a better understanding as to where the rings could have ended up) to the professional metal detecting sleuth work I did to successfully recover my client’s sentimental keepsakes!

Before I left Miriam’s property, we called her husband Curtis and gave him the good news. We then bowed our heads and gave thanks to the Lord for answering our prayers which we offered up to God prior to the beginning of the search! Indeed there was much to be thankful for!

Gold Chain with Turquoise and Gold Pendant Lost in the sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This adventure started about a quarter to 7 pm, on May 15th, when I got a text saying, “Hi! This is Morgan A. I recently lost my necklace today on the North end of Myrtle Beach a few yards to the right of the parasailing set up and banana boats. I am wondering if you are able to find it. We go back home tomorrow to Idaho, and I am desperate.” I called the number attached to the text and talked to Morgan. I asked her if someone would be able to meet me to show me the area it was lost in. Unfortunately, she was an hour and a half away, so that was out of the question. Next, I asked her if she could send me a Google Earth Map with an outline around the area, which she could and did. She described the necklace as a thin 14K gold chain with a turquoise and gold pendant. I told her that I doubted I would be able to find the chain because thin gold chains are almost impossible to find with a metal detector. I had her describe the pendant, and she said it was turquoise and gold and about the size of a dime. At this point I told her that I thought we’d have a chance finding the pendant. I told her I was on my way, grabbed my detector and was out the door.

When I got there, I verified the area with the Google map she sent as well as the bar area she mentioned when we talked.  She had also mentioned a big sign with the number 29 on it. I wasn’t sure what she was talking about until I got there and saw a rental chair spot that had a big sign with 29 on it, now it made sense. I started a grid search and then took a video of the area I was searching and sent it to her for confirmation. She confirmed the area and told me it was a little more to the right and almost behind the bar. I wasn’t sure what kind of signal, if any, I’d get if I hit the pendant. So, I was checking every signal I hit, which was a lot of pieces of trash I had to check. After almost an hour and a half I got a solid signal and a 6 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Knowing what I was looking for, I felt this put me in the ballpark, or at least I hoped! I took a shallow scoop of sand and as I lifted up the scoop. I saw a quick glimmer of a gold chain fall out of the scoop and disappear back in the sand. I stuck my hand in the sand and tried to feel the chain. Bingo!! I pulled the chain out, saw the turquoise pendant and knew I had it. It was dark by then, so I packed up, chain in hand, and left the beach. I found an area with light and took a picture and sent it to Morgan and then called her. When she answered, I said “check your text.” Then she said, “you found it!?” She asked if she could meet me, it’d take about 45 minutes. So, I happily waited until they showed up. When they arrived, I got to meet Morgan and her boyfriend, Terreck. Morgan and Terreck were so happy and excited. The back story to the necklace is that Terreck had bought it for her about 4 months ago. It was the first gift he had gotten her, so their story together began.

Morgan and Terreck – Thank you for allowing me to help find your lost treasure. I wish you two only the best life has to offer.

Jim

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Got a call about a cell phone that was lost at a boat dock in a creek. I was only given a general location. as i entered the water I started stepping all over tree branches and leaves. I knew this was not an easy recovery! after about an hour we finally got a signal but the scoop was useless in that debris. I slowly started working the signal toward more shallow water until i could use a pinpointer and reach down and recover it. I met up with the husband and he got it back to his wife!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost For 25+ Years, in The Greene, Maine Woods, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I will say,  if this wasn’t the most challenging search for me, it is in the top 2. It all started when I received a text message, from Randy. This is his original text, from March 12th, 2025.

“Hi my name is Randy
Saw your story on Facebook. I lost a ring in our back yard a number of years ago. I live in Greene and are planning to relocate in a year.
I’d like to be able to retrieve it before we leave the area.
Kindly let me know if you are interested in this challenging hunt. Thanks”

I replied

“Hi Randy, So sorry to hear this. Searching for this ring is certainly something we can do. A few questions 1st, if you wouldn’t mind

1) How long ago did you lose the ring and why do you think the ring was lost in the backyard? Did you see or feel the ring come off?

2) How large of an area is your backyard and is it grass, field, woods, etc.. If need be, I can bring someone with me to cover a larger area.

3) Were you looking to have the search, this spring, after the snow melt?”

Randy replied,
“The ring was lost 20+ years
I sadly threw it into a cleared wooded area on my property with about a few pine trees approx 6ft tall

It is overgrown now with 30-40 foot trees however storms have dropped many of trees

As far as timeline for searching, whatever is easier for you.
We still have a fair amount of snow here.
It’s my original wedding ring.”

WAIT, WHAT? 20 + YEARS AND IN THE WOODS?  Randy was certainly correct about this being challenging
I replied
“Ok, So the ring is in the wooded area and you remember the area? I will say that 20+ years is an extremely long time. Not impossible but it certainly would be a challenge. My concern would be a tree or roots are now over it. I can search as soon as the snow is gone and the ground is no longer frozen. I found a wedding ring, last August or September that was lost in 1982. It was only 5-6 inches deep, but on a manicured lawn.

Randy replied,
“Yes I know exactly the direction and approx 150 ft from edge of lawn
I searched by hand years ago but was not successful
I’m retired so just reach out whenever “

So today, just over 2 months after being contacted by Randy, I enlisted Gary Hill, to assist me on such a large and difficult search. We arrived at Randy’s home, in Greene, Maine at just after 8:00am. Randy showed us an orange traffic cone that he had placed on his lawn. Randy told us he was standing there when he threw his ring, “as far as I could”, after a disagreement, with his wife (Hey, it happens and who are we to judge). Randy immediately and seriously regretted his actions and went out in the woods, searching for his ring. Unfortunately he was not able to find it and he continued searching for days and would occasionally search, years later. Now Gary and I headed out into the woods with Randy and he showed us the area, he thought the ring would be in. We put up orange markers on the trees, to the north and south, that would serve as our boundary markers. The plan was to start there and grid search, as best we could, towards the house and orange cone, on the lawn. Unfortunately, the closer we got to the house the thicker the downed trees and branches became. So thick and deep, we couldn’t swing our detectors properly. It was that bad and I even got jabbed by some downed branches, on a tree. It caused a cut on my leg and drew blood, but not serious. We were very careful of the branches that were eye level. Gary and I did’t want to go home blind.

After searching for 2 1/2 hours, in the area that Randy thought the ring would be, Gary and I started to expand the search area, with a consultation, from Randy. He thought the ring may be further into the woods and possibly a little more to the north, of the original search area. I would search deeper into the woods and Gary would search just north, where the downed trees and branches were extremely troublesome. Gary and I told each other that it would be a 1 in a million chance of finding the ring, under all the downed trees and branches. My thinking was that the entire area, closer to the house was very likely the area the ring was in and Gary agreed. We just didn’t think the ring would be as far back in the woods, as Randy thought it would be. But how do you search an area, with dead trees, on the ground. Throughout the search, we would move branches, as best we could, but there were many, we were not able to move. Very frustrating to think the ring could be under one of the trees or branches, that we just couldn’t move. As I was finishing up the area, deeper in the woods, I started up towards the house, to see how Gary was doing. He was 50-60 feet north of the boundary, of where th ring should be and in a thicket of downed branches. I decided to search a little closer to the original area, but still just north of it. We have now been searching for 3 hours and 15 minutes when I hear Gary yell out, “I GOT IT. I FOUND THE RING.” I yelled back, “REALLY, THATS AWESOME.” I then made my way over to Gary and there in the hole was a Gold Wedding Ring, UNBELIEVABLE. GREAT JOB GARY!!!!! I then summoned Randy back into the woods and when he saw his Wedding Ring for the 1st time in almost 30 years, he said ”SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.” Randy then looked around to where the orange traffic cone was and just could’t believe how far north of the search are, the ring was found (Watch the full video of his reaction, posted earlier today.)

As all 3 of us were standing around talking about just how lucky Randy was that the ring was found. After all it was a good 60-70 feet from where Randy thought it was. Gary was expanding the search area and BAM, there it was. Randy the told us he didn’t remember the exact year the ring was lost, other than it was between the years 1997 and 2000. So 25 to 28 years lost in the woods and Randy has his original Wedding Ring back, just in time for his 35th Anniversary. Randy mentioned that he and his wife will most likely renew their vows, on their upcoming Anniversary. Now Randy will have his original Wedding Ring and another Wedding Ring he purchased, just after losing his first one.
Gary and I were just beaming, all the way home, knowing that we have put another smile on someone’s face, once again. Randy was just so happy and in disbelief of the ring being found. No better feeling in the world than to help others find their lost items and return them, to the rightful owner.

Gold Necklace Pendant Lost From Broken Chain Found In Pine Knoll Shores, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Jim was walking along a wooden pathway near the Pine Knoll Shores coastline and stopped to stretch his aching back.  While bending over the railing to stretch out his muscles.  As he raised up, his gold necklace snagged part of the railing.  This caused his sentimental gold cross to fall about ten feet into the shrubbery and sand below.  Jim had a couple of guys go in and look for the missing cross unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.  One of the nice gentlemen, reached out to Crystal Coast Ring Finders to see if a metal detector would locate the lost gold.

Because of scheduling conflicts and weather conditions, the search was postponed for a few days.  I met Jim in the morning and he showed me the location.  This was a difficult area to even squeeze into for searching and once I arrived below the railing, I began my search using my metal detector as well as my Garrett hand held pinpointer.  I came across many nails, screws and some fencing wire during the search and eventually worked my way down hill to where the men, who searched previously before me,  had worked some of the sand into a pile.  This was below the obvious area just below the railing.  A few passes with my detector showed more nails and then a very good signal.   After I grabbed a handful of the sand & debris, I spotted a very dirty golden cross in the pile.  I met Jim at my truck and he declined having his picture taken so you see a picture of me after a very dirty, sweaty search.

Wedding/Engagement rings lost in grass, Seaside Park NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Maria spent a beautiful sunny afternoon at the beach, where she had removed both of her rings and placed them in the pocket of her shorts for safekeeping. Later in the day, after leaving the beach, Maria and her family stopped at a flea market in the center of town. While there, they brushed off the remaining sand from the beach, and Maria took off her shorts to shake them out, forgetting about the rings she had placed in the pocket. It wasn’t until she got home that she realized her rings were missing.

Panicked, Maria posted on a local Facebook page, sharing the exact spots where she had been sitting at the beach and where she had parked at the flea market. I always advise people not to post specific locations until they consult with a professional, but by then, several people had recommended me—NJ Ring Finder—and some even volunteered to search with their metal detectors.

The following day, Maria contacted me directly, requesting help to locate her missing rings. After discussing the details, I asked if any of the volunteers had found anything, but she hadn’t heard from anyone. After going over everything she did that day, I determined that the flea market was the most likely place where the rings had fallen out and decided to start my search there. We agreed on a time to meet, as it’s always best to have someone familiar with the exact locations present.

Once at the park, Maria showed me where she had shaken out her shorts, and I started working slowly, covering a 10-foot-wide area. The park was filled with signals—probably around 50—but most were just trash. Then, out of nowhere, my metal detector let out a sweet, low tone that I instantly recognized as a promising signal. Sure enough, buried in the grass, both of Maria’s rings lay side-by-side.

Maria was in disbelief, especially since it had been three days since she lost them. Thankfully, she followed the advice of the Facebook group and reached out to me for help. Another successful recovery for 2024, and a very happy ending for Maria!
