Chris and Hollie were savoring a perfect day at the beach in Ocean City, NJ. They had spent the day soaking up the warm sun, cooling off with a refreshing swim. But when Chris dove into a wave, his wedding band slipped off his finger and vanished into the churning water.
The next morning, Chris called me. Could I help him find his lost ring? I got the details and made my way to the beach, arriving just as the tide was going out. Chris and Hollie were waiting anxiously, but trying to stay positive as they got ice cream and settled in to watch me search.
The water was waist-deep and murky, with a strong current that made it hard to walk. I moved slowly and methodically, scanning the ocean floor as I went. About 25 minutes later my metal detector buzzed. I scooped down and saw the ring in the scoop!
I emerged from the water, walking back to where they were sitting. Chris and Hollie were overjoyed, their faces lighting up with relief and happiness. Finding the ring was the perfect way to end their day at the beach in Ocean City, NJ.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Surf Found by Metal Detector Man .. Laguna Beach, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Call or Text …  949-500-2136   Stan the Metal Detector Man for help to find lost jewelry using the most efficient metal detecting equipment and years of experience searching all types of conditions.


*** James called me from Cresent Bay in Laguna Beach , CA. He was with his family and had lost his white gold wedding band. It’s located less than six miles from my home, so I was able to meet James on the beach soon after talking to him.

He told me that he believed the ring had come off his finger somewhere between their beach towels or in the water where he had been teaching his daughter to boogie board. He also told me it was identifiable because it had his fingerprint engraved inside the band.

An hour after grid searching the whole area, the ring did not show. We discussed a few more possibilities, when he remembered that he had gone 100 yards south to skim board away from the swimmers.

I headed to that area knowing that the tide had already fallen low enough to have a good chance to find the ring, if it was there. “Boom” 10 minutes later James’ ring was in my scoop. I’m glad we took the time to discuss where else he had been as he had not told me of his other activities. It was a great day at a beautiful  beach with an awesome family and my pleasure to help them.

Your call is important to me. I’m available to answer any questions you may have to help you find your important metallic item. Stan the Metal Detector Man  .. 1-949-500-2136

Lost Gold Wedding Band – Found! By Metal Detector Specialist Brian Carpenter in Pittsburgh, PA

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I was contacted by Tim who had lost his gold wedding ring. He was not sure but he thought it flew off his hand in the backyard when he was throwing hay. Tim has some dogs and the backyard was getting a bit muddy so he was trying to keep the yard from turning into a mud pit. He normally uses his right hand but after having shoulder surgery he was forced to use his left. It was after he was working in the yard he noticed his ring was missing. When Tim called he was a little frustrated as he had went to a local tool rental and rented a metal detector but all it did was beep! I told Tim that was normal and I would check to see when I could come out.

I checked my scheduled and the weather and decided that I could make it the next day. I took off and let Tim know I was coming. Of course the weather had looked great but when I pulled in it started to rain. Tim showed me the yard, pretty standard with a steep incline on both sides. He was guessing it was on the flat part where he had spread most of the hay. I got to work and much to my surprise the ground sounded pretty good and I was able to use my large coil. I cleared the first part with no luck and went down to the steep incline on the right side. After a few passes I ran into the ring, I don’t know if I saw it or heard it first but there it was. I picked it up and it was a beautiful ring and big! I walked up the hill and told Tim it was pretty ugly down there just before I handed him his ring. He could not believe I had found it and gave me a big hug. Tim then told me when I did not find it on the flat his heart had sunk and he thought it was gone. Funny thing is that thought had never crossed my mind yet as I has a lot more area to cover. I was glad to have found it and we thanked St. Anthony as we had both asked for some divine intervention. Tim and I talked for quite a while afterwards and his wife was also kind enough to thank me as well. Tim explained to me he reached out to his jeweler and the replacement cost for the ring was double or maybe even more. More importantly he told me the diamonds in the ring were extra special as they were from both his and his wife’s families and even if he had to have the ring replaced he did not anymore special diamonds to put into it. Thankfully he did not have to worry about that. It was awesome to meet another kind and extremely generous client and reunite him with his special wedding ring.

Lost Ring in Haddon Twp NJ Found by Dave Milsted

Eric reached out to me via email. He’d been in a rush to take down his Christmas decorations before an incoming snowstorm and, in the process, had lost his yellow gold wedding ring. We arranged to meet after his workday ended.

Upon arrival, Eric showed me the area where he’d been working. The search area, blanketed by about three inches of snow, wasn’t very large. He mentioned he needed to pick up his daughter from school but would return in about ten minutes.

As soon as Eric and his wife left, I began my search. Just a minute later, my detector gave a strong signal in the gold range. I brushed away the snow, and there it was—Eric’s gleaming yellow-gold wedding ring. I snapped a few photos and waited for their return.

When I saw them approaching, I pretended to still be searching. Eric’s wife got out of the car first, and I quietly asked her to wait a moment. Eric followed and said, « I guess you haven’t had any luck. » I asked if he recalled shaking his hands or doing anything that might have flung the ring beyond the immediate area. He didn’t. While he scanned the lawn, I revealed the ring from my gloved hand. His wife noticed first, and her surprised smile was wonderful to see. Eric’s reaction was even better.

They were both overjoyed. His wife was particularly thrilled, exclaiming, « This is great! Now I can finally get that dining room carpet and not have to buy him a new ring! »

I love my hobby!

14K Yellow Gold Diamond Ring Lost, Found and Returned Oak Island NC

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

This adventure started on the evening of February 28th, around 6 p.m. when I received the following text message, “I lost my diamond ring in the yard today. I was raking leaves and cutting plants….could u help me?? I live in Oak Island NC.” I called the number attached to the text and didn’t get an answer, so I replied to her text saying, “Yes, call (included my number). Jim.” Within a couple of minutes, she called, and I got additional details. I told her I could be there in an hour, which she agreed to and sent me her address.

When I arrived, I met Teresa, and she showed me the areas she suspected her ring could be. I turned on my Equinox 800 and went to work.  I scanned 3 or 4 piles of leaves, a couple of other areas she was in and there was no ring. I originally thought this would be an easy search, sure fooled me!!! She asked if I could check her concrete porch. I advised her that more than likely there was rebar in the concrete, which there was. We started doing a visual search. She mentioned that she had repotted some plants, so I used my pin pointer to check the planters. While I was checking one planter, Teresa picked up another planter to move to closer to me. Suddenly, she said “here it is!” When she had picked up the planter, it tilted enough to cause the ring to come out of hiding and hit the floor. She was so excited and relieved.

Teresa – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your lost treasure.

Jim

Lost Sentimental Gold Cross & Chain at Paradise Cove Beach Ko Olina…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Gold Cross & Necklace hunt began when I got a call from Jose who is from Columbia and was vacationing on Oahu.  While enjoying the waters of Paradise Cove Beach, Jose  had taken his cross and necklce off for safe keeping and placed it on a towel.  Unbeknownst to the family members someone used the towel and when Jose came out of the water the cross & necklace were no where to be found.  He found « Metal Detector services » on Google and gave me a call.  I was wrapping up my work day, so I told Jose I would run home, grab my gear and head on over in about an hour.  They waited for me to arrive and when I got there Jose and his lovely wife met me on the beach to show me where they thought the cross & necklace would be.  Jose drew a box in the sand and I started the grid search.  A few minor trash targets, then a nice solid 18 on the Manticore and in one scoop there was the beautiful necklace glistening in the scoop.  Jose and his family were overjoyed as I was in the last line of the grid and they were worried.  I always try hard to find Jesus and today we did.  Aloha to Jose and his family!

Gold and Diamond Bracelet Recovered from Water Newport Beach Back Bay

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 


If you need help finding your lost Jewelry or othe sentimental keepsake in Los Angeles  or Orange County..  Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 1-949-500-2136

*** Martha and her husband were boarding a small electric boat for a evening cruise of the Newport Beach Back Bay, Orange County, California.

As she stepped  off the dock onto the Duffy Boat she felt her gold diamond bracelet slip off her wrist and heard it splash in the water.

When they returned, Martha got online, calling me for help. The location was less than a mile from my home. We met at 9pm to access the location for a recovery attempt as soon as possible. The tide was highest of the day and it would be 6 ft. lower tomorrow in the daytime.

This search would require several hours to prepare for a dive, so we met the next afternoon. I brought my diving / detecting gear and Rudy who would be my dive buddy. Rudy is learning to search with my equipment and he will be my back up diver when I can’t get to a dive search.

Our plan was to switch off diving for the bracelet. I wanted Rudy do the first dive. Fifteen minutes into the session, Rudy came up with the beautiful gold diamond bracelet. He got to experience the joy of returning a very sentimental piece of jewelry.

I now have myself and two other divers that I can count on to cover these dive recoveries. Dive recoveries take so much preparation. It’s always good to have backup divers that can also be present. Dive detecting needs a buddy diver or at least a dive spotter.

Available now to answer any questions you have about how this service works.. All your questions are important to me. We may be able to save your sanity.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered in Lutz FL

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered October 18, 2024. Joyce reached out to me to assist locate a ring that her husband lost in the yard while cleaning up after hurricane Milton made landfall near Tampa. She was referred to me by a neighbor, Kim, whom I had assisted locating an earring in her back yard.

Kim was passing by their house and saw her neighbors looking for something in the grass. When they mentioned the lost ring, Kim gave Joyce my number to help with their search.

I set out in the afternoon, and made my way to their house in Lutz. When I arrived, the yard was cleaned up. Joyce and her husband showed me the area where they were working when the ring was lost.

The area was in the landscaping at the front corner of their house. The area had plant coverage that was approximately 1-2 feet high with wispy blades, which made it difficult to get into with my metal detector. I did my best, searching around every plant and trying not to cause damage to these plants as I moved about. I detected the area 2-3 times, but didn’t find anything.

Next, I detected the bag of debris that was picked up in that area thinking perhaps the ring fell off in the bag. Nothing was found, so I started searching the grassy area surrounding the landscaping. No luck!

I was starting to feel like a failure and asked if they could show me the path they took to walk to and from the area where they were working. After a 5-10 steps I detected a strong signal and the ring was located!

The area where the ring was found was where they had initially emptied the bag of debris to search for the ring. It must have been in the bag and had fallen out when they searched the contents for the ring.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Lutz Florida

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered October 30, 2024. Justin called about a missing ring he lost the night before around his house. The weather had become cooler in the evenings and he was enjoying a fire pit in his back yard with friends. He got up to gather some additional wood for the fire – small branches and twigs that had fallen from trees around his property in a recent storm.

When I arrived, Justin had two likely places where the ring would be. The first spot was near the sidewalk in the front yard of his property where the debris was placed for collection. The second was at the base of a tree in his back yard.

We started detecting the spot in his front yard first. Going over the area, I was getting a good sound, but the item was located below the surface and likely wouldn’t be his missing ring.

After a few minutes, we ruled that spot out and moved to the base of the tree in his back yard. Almost immediately I got a familiar signal that sounded like a ring. I moved a couple small twigs and immediately recognized the yellow gold ring in the grass.
