Metal Detector Man mobile detecting service can help you find your lost precious keepsake .. Call or Text ASAP  24/7 anytime … 949-500-2136.
Erin was lifting her large dog into the backseat of a car when the dog’s paw snagged her gold necklace and the small gold pendant possibly fell into the ivy beside the driveway.

I was across town and it was a weekend day, so the traffic was not a problem. It was looking like it could be a difficult search because it was a very hot day.  When I arrived, Irin  was waiting and showed me the area of the loss. I was happy to see that the ivy was under a huge shade tree.

It did take awhile to find the gold pendant. This type Ivy was very thick large leaf. It had many years of dry leaves under the new leaves. It took a while to find the small pendant which was expedited by using my handheld pinpointer metal detector.

Erin was more than grateful. She shared with me that this pendant has the imprint of her son’s finger print. She wears it everyday in memory of her son, who passed away two years ago. It’s these type recoveries that keep me doing this service.

I’m available to help you or anybody that has lost an item at the beach, park, yard, car, water, home even if it has been years ago. Call now for information .. Stan .. 949-500-2136

Engagement Ring Recovered!

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

I got a call from a young woman who had lost her engagement ring – not an unusual situation – and I agreed to help her recover it. In talking with her, the story emerged… she had been in the parking lost at work and in having a discussion with a co-worker, flung her hand in the air and the ring came off. The good news: she actually saw the ring come off and go over the fence. The bad news: the area where she thought the ring had landed was large and fairly trashy (gum wrappers, pop tops, bottle caps, etc.). After thoroughly searching through the trashy area and not locating the ring, I expanded my search and found the ring considerably farther out than I had originally thought, nestled in a nice (and relatively clean) grassy area. Being able to reunite the ring and the distraught fiance was a great feeling for both of us.

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

MADISON, N.J. — When Kelly’s husband took their dog out for a run this weekend, his ring felt a bit loose. After walking through some high weeds along a trail, he realized the ring had slipped off.

Kelly messaged me to see if could locate the ring, luckily, her husband was able to pinpoint an approximate location in the weeds where the ring was lost.

Kelly holds up her husband’s ring found by NJ Ringfinder, Bill Leasure. The ring was lost when her husband was walking their dog near an area with high grass.

A gold and silver wedding ring lost by a couple in Madison, NJ is revealed under a pile of grass by Ringfinder, Bill Leasure.

Ringfinder, Bill Leasure holds a lost wedding ring pulled from high grass after it was lost by a local NJ man walking his dog.

After several minutes of searching for the gold and silver ring, a strong tone was detected beneath some high weeds. Moving the pinpointer into the grass, a solid signal was found. After sifting through the grass for a couple minutes, the ring was found right where they thought it had been lost. So happy to return this ring to their family.

14K Gold Wedding Ring, Lost in a Saco, Maine Backyard, Found Visually, While Searching With A Metal Detector

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

I had just returned home, after picking up my granddaughter, at Fairfield School, in Saco, Maine and walking home. I wasn’t home 5 minutes, when I received the following text, from Christina

“Hey! Found your number on ring finders. We think my husband lost his ring in our back yard and can’t seem to find it. Would you be able to help? Thank you”

I immediately replied and I asked some questions

“So sorry to hear this. Where are you located?

A few questions

1) How long ago, was the ring lost?

2) What makes you think it was lost, in the backyard? Did he see or feel the ring coming off?

3) How large is the yard and what type of terrain? So, is it woodland, grass, bushes, etc? This will let me know size coils to bring.”

Christina replied

“ Saco, off of 112. Ring was lost today but we do not know exactly when. I took a picture of his wearing it around 9am and he noticed it was missing around noon. I have checked all our sinks and shower if it may have come off there.

My husband was tinkering with the power washer that he could not get to work about 5 feet from the back of our house.

Back yard is mostly grass where we think it may be. I would estimate the total back yard as 100 feet by 40feet. I am happy to provide a picture if that helps.”

Christina did send me a few pictures and I told her I would be there, by 3:30pm. It was now 2:50pm and I just needed to change and get my equipment, into the car. I arrived at their home at 3:15pm and was promptly met by Christina’s husband. He introduced himself as Justin and told me he was the one, that lost the ring. Justin explained that he was working on the pressure washer, out back, when a bunch of hornets came at him, from under the back deck. Justin was getting away from the area,as fast as he could, as he swatted the hornets away. Once inside the house, Justin cleaned up and was ready to head to Lowe’s, to purchase a new pressure washer. As he was getting ready to leave, Justin noticed that his wedding ring was not on his finger.

Justin and Christina searched inside and out the house, particularly in the area he had been working. When their search didn’t result in finding the ring, Corina contacted me.

Once Justin showed me the areas, he thought the ring would be in, I showed and explained to Justin how my detector works and threw 3 different test rings, into the grass, so he could see and hear, the detector find the rings. This seems to soothe or calm my clients some. I then come up with a game plan, so to speak and told Justin, I would start searching on the side of the house , where he had been walking. I would then grid the back yard, going approximately 1/2 down the yard, turn around and head back towards the house. I would continue doing this, while Justin visually searched, for his wedding ring. I find that my clients like to be involved, whether it is using, one of my detectors or visually searching. Once I am onsite, it’s all hands on deck and a group effort.

My first pass , on the side of the house and halfway down the backyard, resulted in nothing but a few deep coins, that I didn’t dig. I took a 1/2 step to my left, explaining to Justin that by only taking a 1/2 step, to the side, this allows me to overlap my swinging of the coil, so I don’t miss any area of the yard. As I made my way, back towards the house and about 10 feet, from the house, I heard Justin say something. I looked up and Justin reached down and picked up his wedding ring, in the crushed rock, along the house. I could see his big smile and was so happy, for another successful recovery. I had Justin put the ring, back on the crushed rocks and swung my detector over the ring and it came back a nice and loud, repeating low tone.

So when I arrive on the scene, or a search, we all work together, as a team, to get the best results. I often bring extra detectors and let my clients search also. I have actually had 3 successful recoveries while doing this. I don’t care who actually finds the ring, as long as the ring is found. After a few photos of Justin and his ring, I left with a big smile. Maybe not as big as Justin’s, but big. I just love being able to leave, on a moments notice, to go and help people like Justin & Christiana.

Football Coach’s Wedding Ring Found! – Pewaukee, WI

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Hamilton High School football coach and Wauwatosa resident, Josh Neary, was moving training equipment off the field when he felt his tungsten wedding ring catch and fly off his hand. Despite his search efforts and those of several others, the ring was nowhere to be found. The loss was made all the more acute with Josh’s plans to celebrate his and his wife’s second anniversary the next day.

Josh found me on the Ring Finder’s internet directory of metal-detecting specialists. My wife and I were travelling in the Canadian Rocky Mountains when I received his text. After arriving home in Wisconsin, we arranged to meet at the Hamilto High School on Friday, September 27, four days after the ring went missing.

A systematic grid-search revealed the presence of many metallic objects. Thankfully, I had a sample tungsten ring for calibration purposes. This helped to ignore most of the signals. After, covering the most likely area without success, it was decided to expand the search grid. Soon, a shallow signal was promising. Using a pin-pointer, Josh’s wedding ring came to the light of day in the deep grass where it had fallen.

I left the ring in its place and called Josh to come and look with me. Handing him the pin-pointer I explained how it worked and then let Josh ‘discover’ the ring himself. It didn’t take long. Josh pulled the ring from the grass and held it in astonished unbelief. The smile on his face tells the rest of the story!

It seems the whole school was aware of Josh’s lost ring. Students and staff alike expressed their well wishes and joy. It was obvious to me that Coach Neary holds a special place in the hearts and lives of many at Hamilton High School. I’m so glad to have had a part in your story, Josh.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even long ago, don’t let its story end. Call today. Who knows, we might just be able to put a smile on someone else’s face.

Lost earring found Valley Nebraska

  • from Lincoln (Nebraska, United States)
Contact:

Jenni contacted me to see if I could look for a very sentimental ring that was believed to be lost by a guest on a private residence during a wedding. Even though there was the possibility it may not be there, I knew how important this ring was after hearing the story so I headed off. Unfortunately I did not find a ring but I did pull up a recently dropped earring. It was one of the brides that she wore in the ceremony. She had given them to her friend to hold onto as the reception picked up pace. She had not even told me about it because she had already written it off as being lost. I was disappointed that we weren’t able to find the ring but they can now rule out that area and hopefully it turns up somewhere else.

Big Diamond Engagement Ring Lost in Waist Deep Surf .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found 5 days later

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

Katlyn’s husband, Jeff called The Metal Detector Man for help to find an expensive 3.2ct. diamond ring lost in the surf. If you need help call or text Stan 949-500-2136.


***Katlyn was with her daughter in waist deep water at Newport Beach when she lost her diamond engagement ring. She was devastated as she had forgotten to leave her ring at home as she normally does before going to the beach.

Her husband, Jeff called me at 8am the next morning. He told me it was a 3.2 ct. diamond ring and wasn’t insured. When I talked to him he told me the loss happened the day before at high tide. I checked the present high tide and it was a perfect low tide for a search. I was able to leave right away for the beach 15 minutes drive from my place.

When I arrived I saw two other metal detector guys searching the same location. After talking with one of the detectorists, he told me that the word was out that an expensive diamond ring was lost in the area yesterday.  The lifeguard and a resident of one the beachfront homes had told them about the loss. They did not have any contact information for the person that lost the ring. I made sure they could contact the person that lost the ring.

I did not find the ring that day and wasn’t sure that one of the other guys found the ring. I always advise people that call me to be careful who they tell about losing a valuable item. If they don’t find the ring right away they will need to get the word out with contact information ..Many people will return items if they know how to contact the owner.

Well, four days after the initial loss,I was on another search on the same beach. I dug a great sounding signal and it was Katlyn’s 3.2ct. diamond ring. It was maybe a half a block from where Jeff had told me Katlyn had realized her ring was missing. All is well, I found the ring. I had the contact information and was able to return this awesome ring to a happy grateful couple..

If you’ve lost a valuable item call an experienced metal detector expert. Timing and persistence is important. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE” .. A phone call anytime 24/7 will give us  the best chance to recover your sentimental keepsake .. Stan .. 949-500-2136
