Green Bay wedding ring recovered in snow

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

On Thanksgiving Eve, I received a message about a lost wedding ring in my neighborhood.    As luck would have it, Emilie was a classmate of our youngest son at Preble H.S., so she knew they could trust us.  After everyone was done with Thanksgiving festivities, I popped over to start the search.    There had been a light snowfall, and the ring popped up in the air when she took off her mitten and shook snow off of her hand.   We guessed it had flown off into the front yard.  After about 15 minutes of searching the yard, all I heard was five or six coin signals, and they were too deep to be the ring.  So, I started covering the opposite side of the sidewalk, toward the house and between juniper bushes.   It didn’t make sense that it would be there because she was shaking her left hand, and we reasoned that it could not have flown to toward the house, on her right side.  But, I heard a signal between the juniper bushes, and my bright headlamp showed some twinkling just underneath the snow.   I pin-pointed it with the Garrett « carrot, » and there it was: one of the most beautiful rings I’ve ever recovered!  There were smiles all around!  I was glad to make her Thanksgiving complete!  IMG_6770[1]

Another smile for the Ringfinder’s clients!

Double-Ring set recovered in Howard Park

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

In late October of 2025, I received a call from a widow who had lost her wedding and engagement ring set while playing with her grandson in a tiny city park.   It was somewhere in the wood chips.  The rings meant a lot to her because they had been picked out together, and he had passed just last year.    I taught Mary how to use my old Tesoro Cutlass while I used my Nokta Legend.  The Tesoro is analog, and quite easy to use.  We practiced on my wedding ring so she knew the sound it would make.  We were thinking the rings would be by the swings, because that’s where most hand movements occurred.   Nope!  After about 15 minutes of sweeping our coils, her’s sung out loud with a ring signal.  It was in the middle of an open spot.   I quickly pin-pointed it with my Garrott « carrot, » and it was back on her finger in seconds!  She didn’t just find the rings – all the memories came back with it.  It was a little sad that he couldn’t be here physically, to see it was found, but we could feel him watching over us.

Beautiful sapphires, silver and gold!

Mobile Metal Detecting Service anywhere in Southern California .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

 ***Colleen called me to see if I was available to help her find a Silver Claddagh ring .. She is in Laguna Beach, visiting from Colorado. This ring is very sentimental to her and it has been on her finger over 14 years.

Her question to me was, could I help her find the ring if she was unable to meet me on the beach. She was sure the ring was in the sand at Shaws Cove, Laguna Beach, CA. I told her that I could search the area and we had a good chance to find it, because the loss happened just a couple hours before she called.

I got to the small beach soon after we talked. The problem was, there were people still sitting where the ring was lost. Not really a big problem, I usually can out wait the people sitting on top of the ring. I hate to bother people on the beach. After a short period of time I saw the people packing up their belongings.

It didn’t take very long to find Colleen’s Claddagh ring. A few hours later I was able to meet Colleen, giving her the ring. She was flying back home on the morning.

I can help you , call or text anytime for information about how my service works.. Stan .. 949-500-2136

*** Chris contacted me after losing his gold ring in knee deep water near th St. in Newport Beach, CA. His beloved pet dog had recently passed away. They had spent many days walking on the beach together. He felt it appropriate to put his dog’s ashes in the ocean. While walking out his ring slipped off his finger into the surf. His friend was actually making a video of Chris walking out into the surf.I was able to get to location at the next low tide. The video helped me identify the approximate location because there were breakwater rocks in the background. Within 15 minutes I had Chris’s gold ring in my sand scoop. He met me later the next day at a resturant near his work place.

A Sparkle in the Snow: The Lost Ring Reunion. Another recovery in the books.

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
It was one of those crisp autumn afternoons that hinted at winter’s arrival, the kind where the air carries a bite and the leaves crunch underfoot like nature’s confetti. I was wrapping up my day when my phone buzzed with a text from a client in distress. « Lost my wedding ring while blowing leaves in the backyard, » it read. « Got your name from Darren Gray—another Ringfinder. Can you help? » My heart warmed at the mention of Darren. He’s a legend in our community, always generous with passing on leads when he’s swamped or out of range. I’ve been grateful for those opportunities more times than I can count; they remind me how connected we all are in this quirky world of treasure hunting.I texted back that I’d be there in about an hour, grabbed my gear—metal detector, pin-pointer, headlamp, and a few extras—and hit the road. You learn quick in this line of work: better to be overprepared than caught short. A search could wrap up in minutes or stretch into hours, and with the sun dipping earlier these days, I wasn’t taking chances.When I arrived, the client was waiting eagerly by the gate, bundled against the chill. Their backyard was a picturesque challenge: a massive oak tree loomed overhead, its branches casting long shadows like a guardian testing my resolve. And to add to the fun, a light snowfall from the night before had blanketed everything in a pristine white layer, turning the yard into a hidden puzzle. « It happened right around here, » they said, pointing to a spot piled with leaves and snow. We chatted a bit about the ring’s sentimental value—years of love and memories wrapped in that simple band—and I could sense the mix of hope and worry in their voice.I flipped on my headlamp as the light faded, and we got to work. The detector beeped almost immediately on a couple of targets—false alarms, just bits of foil or nails teasing us. Undeterred, I circled back to the starting area, methodically sweeping the ground. Then, another signal: strong and steady. I knelt down, pulled out my pin-pointer, and gently brushed aside a fluff of snow. There, catching the beam of my light like a wink from fate, was a glint of white gold sparkle.« There it is! » I exclaimed, and in that instant, the client’s face lit up with a sound that’s music to any Ringfinder’s ears—a half-gasp of surprise melting into pure relief. We both laughed, the tension evaporating into the chilly air. The whole search? Just ten minutes. Those quick wins never get old; they’re like little gifts from the universe, reminding you why you do this. Sometimes recoveries are marathons, but when a sprint like this comes along, you savor it. As I handed over the ring, the client shook my hand warmly, their gratitude shining brighter than the band itself. « You have no idea what this means, » they said. And in that moment, I did—because helping people reclaim pieces of their story is what makes days like this truly magical. Thanks again to Darren for the pass; it’s folks like him that keep the good vibes circulating. Another happy ending in the books, proving that even under snow and shadows, lost things have a way of finding their way home.

Brook called me for help. She had been getting her beach materials ready to leave when with the flick of her wrist her ring was lost in the sand. She had searched diligently, yet was unable to find it. I was able to go to help, even though it was getting late.

When I arrived, it was dark, and we were the only ones on that lonely beach. She showed me the area where she had marked it, and in the light of my headlight, I was able to see where she had been searching. I began my search, and searched the whole area with no luck. She had never left the beach, so the ring had to still be there. It was time to expand the search, and about 10 feet away from the original area I got a good signal, dug, and had a very pretty ring in the scoop. I showed her and she was very happy because it had been given to her. When we walked up to the highway, I said I would walk her to her car. She told me she was going to call for an UBER, so because it was extremely dark there, and there are a lot of homeless in the area I let her know I would wait with her until the UBER came. Then she asked if I could take her to the Metro train depot in Santa Monica about 10 miles away, which I said I would be happy to do for her safety. Great smile!

***  Lost Engagement Ring in surf sand at Crystal Cove California State Beach. Katrina was in front of the Beachcomber with her daughter. She lost her engagement ring while showing her daughter how to find sand crabs in the surf sand.

The ring came off digging in the saturated wet sand and she realized it right away. It disappeared instantly.

Frustrated and upset Katrina was sure it was lost forever. She was able to calm down enough to google “ How to find a ring at the beach” .. My contact information came up under The Ring Finders directory.  She didn’t call me until she was on her way home.

We talked about the circumstances of the loss and I was able to get enough information to do a search the next morning at a low tide. It was not necessary for her to drive 40 miles to show me the location. I know most of the beaches near me well. She gave me very good landmarks. The next morning her ring as found with my metal detector 4 inches under the wet sand at low tide..I sent her a text with a photo of her ring and she picked it up a couple days later. 

If you lose something at the beach, call an experienced metal detectorist.. Stan 949-500-2136
