Lost Wedding Ring at East Beach Santa Barbara returned safely to it’s owner

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

If you have lost your ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet in the sand, the water, the yard or field don’t wait call or text Ventura and Santa Barbara’s Ringfinder Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so he can make a plan to get your lost Jewelry back!

I got a call last evening from Sachin explaining that while trying to safeguard and protect his wedding ring he had lost it in the dry sand at East beach in Santa Barbara. Sachin was going to go for a jog and decided to put his ring safely away in his wallet and then he accidentally sent it flying into the dry sand. Instead of calling his bride (only married for a month!) he did the right thing and called expert metal detectorist Dave Mac Donald first in order to get his ring back.

I got out there right away and met Sachin at the beach next to the bike path. He walked me out to the area he thought he was and even though it was nearly dark I was able to swing my way over his platinum wedding ring with my Minelab Manticore and in a minute or two I had his ring in my CKG scoop!

If you ever find yourself in a predicament like Sachin do the smart thing and call or text Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009. Dave has been recovering people’s lost valuables for years and his knowledge of the beach and all things metal detecting is a sure way to get your stuff back.

Newport Beach Resident Loses Diamond Ring Off Balcony.. Hired Mobile Metal Detecting Expert

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)


Ask a professional metal detector expert to find your valuable keepsake.. I do respect your privacy in your moment of stress .. Call as soon as possible .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Bridget was standing on her patio balcony when she threw some loose leaves over the side. Her wedding ring came off at  the same time going into the ivy ground cover.

Her friends rented a metal detector to help her find the ring. A half day later they gave up and called me. The residence was located just 4 or 5 miles from my home. So I was able to be  mmthere soon after the call.

The search area was medium thick ivy. Did start to clear the grassy are first because it’s a quicker scan process and some people don’t realize how far rings can go, especially on a downhill trajectory.

I went to the ivy next which they had pretty much tore up while doing their search.

The ring showed up only 5 feet off the edge of the balcony at the edge of the ivy and dirt/gravel walkway.. Search time, less than an hour. It could have been faster if I started from the balcony over the ivy and out to the grass.  Happiness for all even the friends that had searched so diligently.

Thanks for reading this . Be sure to let your friends know this service exists..Call for help, even if it’s to ask questions about searching for a lost item.. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.Stan the Metal Detector Man  949-500-2136..also a member of TheRingFinders

Dennis Port, MA Heirloom Ring Lost, Found and Saved the Vacation

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

September 10, 2024

Vacation time on Cape Cod has almost come to an end. Now it was time for a local to leave far a vacation thru Spain with a 15 mile a day hike itinerary. That is Chris’ plan but first she had to find a family heirloom ring. She had looked “everywhere” with no luck in finding the ring and new it was time to reach out for help. One town official gave her the name of the local dealer of metal detectors, J&E Enterprise. Due to the urgency of finding the ring before the air flight to Spain left, my number was given to Chris. One call for help, a few minutes to determine if I could help and I was on my way to start a search.

I arrived even before Chris showed up. After I had my gear ready Chris pointed out the area where the ring might have been lost, and we reviewed the previous day’s activities. While I started my search Chris, with a few suggestions from me, went inside to do a search of her own.

I started in the outdoor shower with a pin-pointer and a detector that could “see” through the floor boards. Nothing rang out, I moved to the path to and the bird feeding area. Again, nothing. That is when Chris came out to show me the ring I had been searching for. It had come off of her finger the previous night as she packed for the trip. At this point we both were thrilled, Chris because she had the ring back on her finger and myself because I would not have to tell her that the ring is not in the areas you have told me about. There is nothing worse that having to tell a person “I did not find the object”.

This type of search has happened more than once. It is related to the fact that one feels that the “missing” object is right “here” when in reality it is over “there”. The “here” is where the object was noticed that it was missing, not where it was really lost. That is why I ask a series of questions before a search begins, just to determine the entire area that may be involved with the loss. An average metal detector is useless inside a house due to the amount of metal, electronic appliances, house wiring, and plumbing also creates a problem. A pin-pointer or a detector with notch filtering may be helpful in certain areas such as an attic.

Another terrific outcome for the day. I am sure the trip will be very special and more enjoyable that Chris will not have been wondering about the ring, at least until she had unpacked.

Wedding Rings Lost In The Water, Honeymoon Island State Park, Dunedin, Fl…Recovered and Returned!!!

  • from Dunedin (Florida, United States)

“It’s only lost until I find it!”

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

Recently I noticed a post on a local Facebook page called Honeymoon Island Lost and Found that said someone named Olivia had lost her two wedding rings at Honeymoon Island State Park. I messaged Olivia and offered my metal detecting services to her and she responded to say that she would very much appreciate my help. Olivia told me that she was at the beach with some of her husband Anthony’s family the evening before and while in the water at about 6pm she felt her beautiful platinum diamond wedding ring and engraved titanium wedding band slip off of her finger. Apparently she had some lotion on her hands before she went into the water and the effect is to make your ring a size larger than what fits snugly fits your finger. Olivia and Anthony were married in May so she only had the rings a few months before they were lost and she feared that they were lost forever. I told Olivia that I had previously had some success recovering rings from the water and not to give up hope. Olivia sent me a photo of the rings and details regarding the loss area including the approximate location pinned on a Google map. I told her that I wanted to begin the search the next morning but Olivia said she could not meet me on location until after work that day. I said that I would begin about 11am using her map and other details because I did not want another metal detectorist to possibly search that area before I had a chance.

I arrived at the loss location about 11am and marked the pinned spot on the beach with my equipment bag. Olivia had told me the she was in knee to waist deep water only about 50 to 100 feet from the shore when the rings slid off. I began the water search with my detector by walking out a little deeper than I thought Olivia might have been and gridding parallel to the beach about 50 yards on either side of where I had laid my bag. Over the course of the next hour or so I moved gradually closer to shore, only targeting a couple of pull tabs and pennies. At that point, my detector moved over a promising target and as I was pinpointing the area to dig with my scoop, I detected another promising target a foot or two away. I scooped the first target from the bottom and when I shook the sand out, I saw the diamond ring at the bottom of the scoop! Of course at that point I had a pretty good idea what the second target was going to be and after a couple of scoop attempts I was also able to recover Olivia’s wedding band from the sandy bottom! Olivia certainly had provided great directions and it only took about an hour to recover both rings. I messaged Olivia when I got back to my car and told her that she had received the miracle she had asked for! About thirty minutes later Olivia messaged me and then called me and was obviously elated that she was getting her rings back. We arranged a time and place for a joyful return later that day.

Olivia and Anthony, thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to find and return your precious rings. And thank you for the beautiful thank you note that included a generous recovery reward. God bless and Godspeed to you both. I love my calling!

How to find a lost ring in Port Moody

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

If you lost your ring/cell phone/keys or any sentimental items at the beach, park, lake or a yard… Don’t wait until it’s too late- Call ASAP 24/7  Chris 778-838-3463

I received a text message in the evening in regards to helping find the Lost Ring. I quickly called the young man and listen to their story carefully in regards to where they believe the ring went missing.

After 20 minutes on the phone, we decided to meet the next morning at the location, when I met, I was taken to a very large rock where the two were sitting and enjoying a game of cards and the beautiful scenery. He was winning in cards and his wife hit his arm playfully and her ring went flying. They both saw it, but could not find it and spent over three hours looking for it.

On the way back to the car, they went online and found my website and that’s how we got together, there was a lot of things that could’ve gone wrong with this search. When I got there, it was a flat big rock with a lot of cracks and crevices where a ring could easily hang up in, but I wasn’t seeing anything in the first 35 minutes, then I found the ring, so I thought, it turned out to be a test ring that he forgot his wife put on the rock. She wanted to see if the waves would take it away.

After surprising him with the ring to find out it wasn’t the ring it surprise me! lol, shortly after I found the beautiful diamond engagement ring in the cracks of the rock close to the edge, and if it had not worked its way into the crack it would have gone down into the abyss… I may not have been able to get into that pool of water. I believe it would’ve been way too deep even at low tide. Only married nine months they’re technically newlyweds, and I knew how important this ring was to find.

Hey smile says it all… I love my job!!!

Lost Gold Chain with Pendant Laguna Beach, CA.. Searched for using a Mobile Metal Detecting Service

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

My latest recovery .. If you need help finding anything that can detected with a metal detector. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man now.. 24/7 .. 949-500-2136

..  Marshal texted me about a gold chain with a small gold pendant lost in the sand at Laguna Beach, CA.  He had taken the necklace was set on his towel while he and his girlfriend, Rebecca went swimming.

When they left the beach he picked up the towel and headed to his vehicle. He did return to search the sand without success .

The next morning Marshal called me asking if I could meet Rebecca at the location. When I arrived at the location there was a large tractor with a plow-like rake dragging the beach to remove seaweed washed up on the beach that last high tide. Following the tractor was another sifting machine working the same sand.

I was at the site and it did not look like my chances of finding the lost items were worth even trying a search. I explained the situation to Rebecca and proceeded to do a grid search over the area, expanding the search zone 50 to 60 yards.

I did find a small gold pendant that did turn out to be the missing pendant. The gold chain was never recovered. I knew it could be anywhere on the whole main beach. I spent more than 4 hours trying to understand how far away the chain got moved. It just didn’t show.

Marshal was happy to have the pendant back, because it was a gift from his mother.

I can help you, I Will Try Anywhere.. Our chances are best if you call ASAP..Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 or email  .. stan@metaldetectorman.com

Lost wedding ring in RV Park

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)

While traveling back home from Arkansas over the weekend I had encountered a big mishap at our stop over outside of St Louis on Saturday night.

We had just parked the trailer and were walking the dogs when Penny’s leash caught my wedding rings just right and they went FLYING… Into the middle of a field of very thick, tall grass. Of course it was dark, why wouldn’t it be!! I didn’t move from my spot while Joe took the dogs back and grabbed flashlights. We searched for about 2 hours. We started weighing our options. Joe jumped on Reddit reaching out to see if he could find anyone willing to bring a metal detector for us. He stumbled upon a website called theringfinders.com

Luckily Jeremy Roth – The RingFinder’s responded right away and offered to come out early the very next morning so we wouldn’t have any delays in our travels. With his help I was able to recover my rings. And let me tell you, we weren’t even close to looking at where it had landed. The physics still isn’t adding up to me but what a relief!!! I’m forever grateful for Jeremy.

So if you ever lose a ring or other sentimental/valuable jewelry, check out theringfinders.com. A really great resource.

Charm lost on Volleyball Court, Allenhurst NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

  I was on the road heading home from a recovery, when I saw a message come across from Alan. He lost a very sentimental gold charm, on the volleyball court the day before and was very interested to see if I would be able to locate it with my metal detector. He told me it was a private location, and with that I knew I had some time before I had to get to his recovery. I asked him to give me a call later on in the evening and I would see what other calls I had in that area and try to schedule them together.  As it turns out, I was heading up to that area the next morning and told Alan I would do his recovery right after I finished the first one I had already scheduled . I got all the details I needed, as he was 95% sure the Charm was on the volleyball court. Once I got there I made a couple of paths along the one side of the court, when I got a sweet tone from my metal detector, and sure enough, it turned out to be his charm. I sent Alan a picture, which he could not believe that I was able to locate it. He was not in the area anymore, so he requested that I leave the charm  with the homeowner. Alan requested to withhold his picture, and I fully understand , some people just don’t want to be on Facebook. Another recovery in the books .
