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

Lost – Diamond Engagement Ring and Wedding Band, New Smyrna Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

If you’ve lost your ring, keys, or phone on the beach, or in the backyard, give Detector Ed a call…757-419-0299.  I am available day or night, phone, or text me as soon as possible.  Do not post it on social media!

Tuesday, I got a FB text from Thomas.  He said that he and his wife, Madelyn had been to New Smyrna Beach.  During the trip their wedding ring set had been put on the beach towel.  When they packed up to leave, the beach towel was picked up and the rings went flying.

I told him that I would go right down to look.  As I drove along, I whispered a quiet prayer, « Please God, help me find these rings. »

When I arrived, I began gridding in the 95-degree heat with my Minelab Manticore.  Thomas had been very exact about their location, but I found no rings.  I was about to give up, having covered the entire area multiple times finding only trash items and coins.

Just then, a car that had been there the entire time pulled out.  I quickly, ran over and got an immediate hit.  It was a ring with a big, beautiful diamond!!  Only, a foot away, another beautiful diamond ring!  Thank you God!

Later that week the wedding set was returned to the happy owners.

Lost Huge Gold Diamond Ring Found in Grandbury Texas!!!

  • from Fort Worth (Texas, United States)
Contact:

Paxton called me Wednesday 5/28/25 asking if I could help in locating his lost wife’s huge gold and diamond ring. After a few questions about the areas I agreed to come out on Friday 5/30/25.

My son and I arrived on Friday and started to search the sloping rocky backyard. After about 10 minutes I located a gold band that was not their ring. At about 30 minutes into the search I got a very good signal right by where my son had already searched and found a couple of nails and moved on. Well this signal was the ring right under the surface in the dirt. Paxton did not want a picture taken so that is yours truly with the Rock!! Thank you Paxton for the very generous reward.

  • 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 Ring Central Park NYC… Found!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
🌳💍 The Central Park Ring
Toss 💍🌳
⁣
Recently, a man in Central Park managed what we can
only describe as a one-in-a-million shot—and not in a
good way. 😅
⁣
While enjoying the day near the Conservatory Garden,
his ring was somehow launched (yes, launched) into
the bushes. But not just any bush—this ring stuck the
landing dead center in a shrub with a perfect circle of
shoots at its base. Think of it like a natural leafy
prison… and the ring was locked inside.
⁣
Enter Greenwood Detecting—and shoutout to Ed
Trapper for tipping us off about this mystery! 👏
⁣
Armed with a trusty detector and a pinpointer, we
carefully scanned, probed, and dodged some overly
enthusiastic squirrels. After a tense half hour and a
LOT of leafy rustling, there it was—the ring, perfectly
wedged in the center of its shoot-jail hideout.
⁣
🎯 Score one for the good guys.
✅ Ring recovered.
🌿 Shrub undisturbed.
🤯 Physics-defying ring toss? Still under investigation.
⁣
Whether it’s a backyard or the middle of Manhattan, if
your jewelry takes an unexpected detour, Greenwood
Detecting is here to bring it back.

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!

Wedding Ring Found – Cary!

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

I got a text from Vinit, who explained that he had been playing volleyball on a sand court and lost his platinum engagement ring. He had posted signs around the court in case someone else playing on that court found it, but when he texted me, no one had called him. This was one of those rare occasions when the person knew exactly where they were when the jewelry was lost, the item was lost in sand (which is great to detect in), and it was in a place with almost no trash to complicate things. It took me only about 10 minutes to find Vinit’s ring and get it back on his finger where it belonged. Quick recovery, happy ending!
