Wedding Set Found and Returned. Gurnee, Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Sharita asking if I was available to do a ring search for her. We agreed to meet after we both got off of work. Her rings had slipped off of her hand into some thick, viney ground cover and mulch while walk in the dark. When her and her husband tried finding it they covered it up with some mulch under the thick patch of vines. I couldn’t get a good signal from my big detector because of the density  of  the ground cover. So I slowly went through all of the mulch and ground cover with my handheld pinpointer,  until I found them both!
It took me about 20 mins to find them.

Success! Another smile for the book!

LOST SHEETS OF GOLD in CHAPEL HILL, NC….. FOUND!!!!

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

This will be one of my best but craziest recoveries EVER! I still can’t believe I was actually able to find it for the daughter of the deceased man that buried it in their backyard during his later stages of Dementia. Yes, he buried the sheets of GOLD that were rolled up and put together with paperclips. I know I will get comments like it is gold leaf. but it is 100% NOT GOLD LEAF; it is heavy and in sheets as stated. He used this gold to make chips.

The original story was that her father had made a small GOLD BAR out of the gold, but when I found it, I knew I had found what he had buried and what she was hoping I would find. It took me about an hour and a half to get the signal of this lost treasure! The backyard was full of leaves, rocks, trees and it wasn’t an easy target to find, luckily there wasn’t much other metal items in the natural area behind the house. That alone made it easier to locate the GOLD! The estimated total GOLD weight of what I think is 24K gold is about 15g to 20g.

I received a call from Favio who had lost his cell phone the night before at the beach. He was wondering if I would be able to do a search for him, and I let him know I was available. I asked if the phone was still showing on the find my phone app, and he said that it was, which boosted hope for a successful recovery. We arranged to meet at the location that evening.

When I arrived Favio had some car trouble and was a late in coming, so I asked him to send me a map of the area, and where he believed the phone had been lost so I could begin my search while he was in transit. I had almost completed the search area when Favio and his friends arrived. They then moved the search area a bit North of where I had been searching, and within about 20 minutes, I was able to hand his phone back. Favio then explained how he had recently come South from Alaska, and purchased the best phone he could afford in order to be able to do some film work, so this recovery was furthering his dream career. I was very happy to make his day.

Car Keys Thrown from Apartment Balcony in Birmingham, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee…call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7…610-504-6135

On Friday morning, November 24th, 2023, I received a call from Gary stating his adult son, Greg, had thrown both sets of his own car keys from his 3rd story apartment balcony in Birmingham, Alabama.  Greg was going through some rough times in life, which eventually led to this outcome.  We’re all human and life happens.  Thrown items occur way more than people think.  The important thing was that I had an accurate account of what happened.  This can mean the difference between a find vs. no find.  At the time of Gary’s call, I was still in Tampa, FL on vacation, but I was about to head to the airport to fly back to Huntsville, AL.  I told Gary that I could conduct a search the following morning when I was back in town.

I met Gary and Greg in Birmingham at noon on Saturday.  I grabbed two rocks that were similar in size to a car key fob, and we headed up to Greg’s apartment balcony.  I had Greg re-enact the 2 throws using the rocks.  I took a photo and marked the location they landed at (photo below).  We headed down the stairs to the back of the apartment complex to start the search.  We had to hop the fence and slide down a bit of an incline to get to the location the rocks landed at.

I started a grid search with my Minelab Equinox 900 metal detector and shortly noticed that there were quite a few trash targets in the area.  The ground was covered with leaves, so I needed to check all targets with my pin pointer to make sure I didn’t miss the keys.  A few minutes into the search, Gary had visually found the first set of keys!  They were about 15 feet to the left of where the first rock landed.  I headed to the second location and began detecting there.  Soon after, I also visually spotted the second set of keys.  This set was about 10 feet from where the second rock landed.  Both sets of car keys were found!!  Gary and Greg were both very thankful and relieved.  We gave praise to God for the quick double recovery.

After we celebrated and took some photos (Gary and Greg politely declined to be in the photo), Gary and I headed to my favorite Birmingham seafood restaurant, The Fish Market, for lunch.  We enjoyed a nice meal and fellowship together.  Gary thanked me again and I was on the road headed back to Huntsville.  I thank the Lord for another successful recovery and safe trip home.  I also pray for Greg and his journey in life.  Until the next adventure, please take care and God bless!

Rob called me after they had search for a couple hours for his wife’s very sentimental ring from her home in Vietnam. She was enjoying her first experience of snow and was throwing it. This was an old property with 100’s of signals and lots of foot traffic because of its location. After about 15 minutes I was able to recover it, not to far from their search area.

Lost in Beach Sand .. Cartier Love Bracelet at Newport Beach .. Recovered by RingFinder

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

 

Who are you going to call when you lose something in the sand, grass, surf or any place that can’t be visually searched.. Call or text .. Stan the RingFinder … 949-500-2136

*** Laura was on her vacation with her family visiting Newport Beach. She called me the day after closing her white gold Cartier Love Bracelet. Her call came about noon which concerned me as this beach gets a daily sifting by the beach cleaning crew. Objects as large as a bangle type bracelet can be picked up by the sifting machine or moved a distances from the loss zone.

Like many people, Laura had no idea of how a metal detector works, so I took a few minutes to demonstrate. We discussed where she had been the day she realized her precious bracelet went missing. I told her I would be removing all metal signals as I did the grid search and this is a tedious process that may take a couple hours. It is not something that she has to stand by to help. She could go about her day on the beach and I would let her know when and if I found the bracelet.

About an hour into the rather large search area, I got the perfect signal. I was almost positive that this was the treasure I had been searching for. One scoop with my sand scoop prove this was Laura’s White Gold Cartier Love Bracelet. I walked over to where she had set up her beach chair at the waters edge to present her with the bracelet. Always a very emotional moment and definitely hard to express the reaction we get when we can return an item that they believed was lost forever.. 

I provide a mobile metal detecting service for all of Orange County and Los Angeles County. Basically any of the Southern California cities.. Call or text now for service or information on how this works… Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136 … I WILL TRY ANYWHERE

Diamond Engagement Ring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Liana texted me late on the Friday after Thanksgiving seeking help to find her lost diamond engagement ring. I immediately called her and she told me she had been raking and bagging leaves in her backyard when her ring came up  missing…she thought it probably fell off while raking or bagging the leaves. We made arrangements to meet the following morning at her home in Conshohocken, PA. When I arrived the next  day I sensed Liana’s stress…they had spent many hours dumping and re-bagging all the the leaves in search of the ring already and even purchased a metal detector to try to find themselves. After no luck they read a suggestion online that they could hire a professional…hence the call to me. Liana, her husband and neighbors were all involved in the search…a very nice crew of people! I really wanted to come through for them. Since she said she already dumped and searched and re-bagged the 15 bags of leaves it made sense to scan the small yard first. I scanned the entire yard fully 3 times before I decided the ring is absolutely not there. I was little disheartened because the only thing left were the bagged leaves but they said they thoroughly searched them already.  We decided we needed to dump them again…one at a time…and now I’ll scan all the contents with my Minelab Equinox metal detector….well, we were on bag #7 or 8…when I couldn’t help but smile…I finally got the signal I was hoping for…I nudged the leave pile a bit with my foot and saw the ring! The group was busy re-bagging leaves and didn’t see my hesitation and smile…i savored the moment for a second…then asked Liana to come over…I pointed to her ring in the middle of the leaf pile…oh the joy and relief on her face! Its why I love being a ring finder….I was so happy to be able to come through for them!

Glasses recovered SCUBA diving, EZ Cruz Marina, Woodbridge VA by Rob Ellis

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

I am an expert metal detectorist with the knowledge, skill, and experience to recover your lost items on land and underwater. Please text or call as soon as possible: (703) 598-1435

Recovered By Master SCUBA Instructor Rob Ellis

 

Found May 16th, 2023

Erik was enjoying the day at EZ Cruz Marina, when a gust of wind took his hat and prescription glasses. With help from his friends, Erik tried using a long-handled net to scoop the glasses. Visibility, rocks, and depth made netting his glasses impossible. Sharon, the manager from EZ-Cruz marina, remembered that I recovered a ring last year and gave Erik my contact information.

A weighted Drop Line for Reference

When Erik called, he told me exactly how and where the glasses entered the water. He even sent me photos with drawings.

Gear Preparation

 

My divemaster (AKA: my wonderful wife) and I checked in with the marina office. We assessed the conditions and finalized how to conduct the search. We dropped a weighted “down line” from the dock to mark the center of the search area where the glasses fell into the water. The easiest entry was from the shore, with a hundred-yard swim. We attached a safety rope after reviewing tender-diver signals.

 

 

 

Most dock bottoms have a lot of metal debris, so I tethered the detector at the surface for my first search by gentle touch and use of a Garrett Pinpointer.

As I descended into the murky water, I lost all visibility at about 5 feet. I hit bottom at about twelve feet, and it was dark, very dark. Even my flashlight wouldn’t penetrate the murky water. I very carefully used my fingertips and pinpointer with a search pattern using the drop line as a reference. Within just a few minutes, I felt a pair glasses and carefully put them in my bag. There are always a lot of sunglasses around docks, and I wasn’t sure these were Erik’s. I ascended, gave the bag to my wife who compared them to a picture Erik had provided. She told me they were the right ones by signaling me the OK sign.

Manager Sharon from EZ Cruz Marina

Erik Smiling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were so glad to return Erik’s glasses. The actual search by touch took less than ten minutes. But the preparation, planning for the search & recovery, and clean-up took several hours. It was worth it to return such a nice young man’s glasses.

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please call to see if I can help.
