Recovered platinum ring in the waters of Lake Tahoe

  • from Reno (Nevada, United States)

I received a call last night from a gentleman whom lost his platinum wedding band when taking off his life jacket in the shallows. I was able to drive to the spot this morning and after 20 minutes I was able to find it and meet him in a nearby town to return it.  Always a feel good moment…every time. : )

Lost Aggie Ring to the Yellow Duckies

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

What a fun search, we got a call from a retired Fire Chief in Lewisville, Texas.  He was helping out with a community Fundraiser where they pushed 40,000 Yellow Duckies off the falls and each duck had a value, they raised over $200,000 but our Aggie while pushing the final Duckies off the falls his Aggie Ring flew off into the pond.
He was very distraught over loosing his ring and tried to rent a Metal Detector but not knowing how to use it was a challenge, he actually was talking to the Fire Department Rescue Scuba Divers about trying to find it for him when he found “The Ring Finders” and called us.

Ellen and I met him on Tuesday morning and found his ring, I love what we do….

Another Successful Find for the Ring Finders

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

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

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)

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)

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

Wedding band recovered on 1st Anniversary!

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

Bethany and her husband, Corey were celebrating their first anniversary at Rowley’s Bay in Door County when the unthinkable happened.    Corey’s wedding band flew into the water when he was tossing a football to his friend.    They searched the sandy shallows without success.   I saw a Facebook posting about it in the lost and found section, which popped up automatically on my screen because I’ve recovered rings there in the past.   I put my hat in the ring, and luckily was the first chosen to perform the search mission.   Bright and early on Monday, September 23rd, I showed Bethany how to use a Garrett AT Pro while I swept a parallel path using my new Nokta Legend.  The water was shallow, crystal clear, and the lake bed was very sandy.  She quickly hit a few coins on edge, but the signals were too weak to be a man’s gold wedding band.   After about 10 minutes of grid searching with no more signals, a clear, loud beeping sound was heard on my Legend!  After three scoops, the ring was glistening in my scoop almost as bright as Bethany’s smile!  Two bald eagles flew out of the treetops and circled overhead together at that exact moment, joining the celebration.   That was a moment I will never forget.

Lost Keys Grandin Neighbourhood, St Albert Alberta Canada

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

   

Mike called me to ask if it was possible for me to drop by his house and help him find his lost keys in his back yard. After asking Mike a few questions in regards to his keys I agreed to drop by.

I meet Mike in his back yard.  He was cleaning up around a wood pile and said he had left his keys on the side of the wood pile and when it was time to pick up his keys they were not where he had left them.

I quickly checked the area that Mike had raked up into a pile. Mike said he had double checked the pile with no luck, but had he raked another foot over, he would have found his keys!  Mike was very grateful to have his keys back.  Thank you Mike

Necklace lost in lake, Metal Detector near me, Egg Harbor City NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Karla sent me an email asking if I could help find her necklace, which had been lost in the lake a few days earlier. After gathering the details, she seemed confident I could assist. We arranged to meet after dinner on a day that worked for both of us.
I arrived early and waded into the cold lake water to begin my search. Starting in knee-deep water, I planned to work my way deeper if needed. When Karla arrived a short while later, we confirmed that the area I was searching was a good spot. She was certain the necklace had fallen off somewhere within a 50-foot section. So, path by path, I combed through the water, moving deeper each time—eventually up to my chest—without detecting much.
I started to wonder if someone else with a metal detector had already been there. Then, suddenly, my detector gave off a signal. This time, I was almost certain it was Karla’s necklace. Moments later, I scooped it up.
I made my way back to shore slowly, keeping my head down, not wanting to give anything away just yet. Karla and her friend were waiting, and from the look on her face, she seemed to think I was about to give up. But when I held up the scoop and told her to take a look, her eyes lit up instantly. Tears of joy rolled down her face as she realized her necklace was found.
We talked for a while, and she shared some of the history behind the necklace. It was clear how much it meant to her. Another recovery in the books for the 2024 season.
