Wedding ring lost in an Oregon yard, found using a metal detector

  • from Oregon City (Oregon, United States)
Contact:




Received a text earlier this week from Rob, informing me he had lost his platinum wedding ring in his friend’s yard in Molalla, Oregon. He had searched for it, crawling through the grass, and used a metal detector, but came up empty.

We were able to meet on the property the following Saturday. When I arrived, Rob was already out searching, but he walked me through his activities the night the ring was lost, and where he had been in the yard. He strongly believed he had lost the ring in a section of the yard near a pathway where he had given his buddy an enthusiastic “bro-hug” as they walked through the area. He also walked me through all the areas on the property he had been in that evening. He was sure the only thing he had done that evening out of the ordinary was his hug.

I decided to start searching the area along the left side of the pathway, considering the left hand is where you wear a wedding ring. My grid search found the area had lots of scrap aluminum, and some miscellaneous iron targets. Did pull out a nickel and a few bottle caps. I could also see Rob was searching around other places in the yard by hand.

Before leaving the area I was searching, I moved into the left side of the pathway. Great signal turned out to be a sprinkler head.  Than some foil. A few feet later I hit a scratchy sound, but VDI numbers on the Manticore that were perfect. Sweeping the other direction, the sound was still questionable, but the VDI and depth seemed perfect. Reaching down and moving the 3 inches of wet grass, I could see the ring 💍.

I went looking for Rob, who was in a lower section of the yard searching. I asked him to come up so I could show him the issues that had complicated the search. I ran the detector over a few targets, expelling they didn’t sound right, or were too deep. I then went over the spot where his ring was and told him that was it.
He dug through the thick wet grass and pulled out his ring.

Rob was super happy to have his wedding ring of 17 years back on his finger.

Daniel had lost his wedding ring of 11 years. He thought it might have come off while out with the dogs in the cold weather. He purchased a metal detector and gave it his best shot for hours. After no success he turned to the internet and found me. We chatted back and forth, trying to give some pointers on using a metal detector.  After a few more days we agreed that I should come take a look. Alot of times rings aren’t found where we think they should be. After I got the signal on the other side of the yard, I had him bring out his detector and recover his ring.

Family friend looses silver skull ring and we recover it!

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

It was St. Patrick’s Day and I had just finished smoking a corned beef for several hours and was finishing up cooking sides for our dinner.  The phone rang; a family friend we met through our community scouting pack.  Sarah explains that her son wore his fathers silver skull ring to baseball practice at the downtown Waterfront Park and at the end of practice it was missing.

I let her know that I would make the five minute drive to the park as soon as our dinner was finished. When I arrived, I was overwelled by the size of the grassy area of the outfield.  Sarah informed me that Odin had pitched and played first base, all areas that did not include grass.  He did however, walk to the warm up mound at the rear of the outfield and so we began our search there.  As the field lights when out our task got just that much harder, but it wouldn’t take long searching the grass between the dugout and the right field fence that we would « Make the Recovery! »

This would mark the very first recovery I performed in my home town of Martinez, CA and I was happy that I got to perform this service for a family that we know and enjoy.  Thank you Sarah, Odin, Amon, and Freya for your friendship.

Vacation Memories Saved by Metal Detector Expert Finding Gold Jewelry at Laguna Beach, CA.

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

Metal Detecting Expert available to help you find your lost item in the sand, grass or garden.. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man.. Call or text for prompt service.. 949-500-2136


*** Sarah and Joe were vacationing at Laguna Beach from New York. She lost a gold nail design bracelet during a walk on the sandy beach. It made their stay a little upsetting as this was Sarah’s favorite bracelet.

The day after the loss she contacted me from the airport while waiting to board their flight home. Sarah was able to send me a marked up screen shot of the area where she believed the loss occurred. I was able tell her what chances we have to find the item. On public beaches our chances of successful recoveries  can be compromised by other detectors or beach sifting machines. Most times I can eliminate an area, especially sandy beaches.

This was one of those miracle finds. Such a large target could have been easily found by the cleaning machines or a tourist picking up sea shells. The bracelet was exactly where she  marked up the Google map screen shot. Usually these type recoveries are never where they think they are. It doesn’t take long to eliminate a specific area. This time it was worth the drive and a 20 minute grid search.

I was able to mail the bracelet back to Sarah and Joe. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a photo of them smiling, so  I’m including a selfie of me.

Lost Gold Ring recovered in Laguna Beach

I met Jerry at his house and we walked down to a private beach where the loss occurred. He knew the exact area where I should search. This only took me less then ten minutes to find, so I spent the next two hours searching the beach for other treasure with success.

Lost Wedding Band in Broussard, LA. – Found

  • from Lafayette (Louisiana, United States)
Contact:

We received a call from Jamie on Tuesday. She said she had lost her gold wedding band in her back yard. Carrie and Sid set up the hunt date for Friday at 10:00. We arrived at the site and rigged up our equipment. Jamie was certain of the lost ring’s general area, so Carrie searched there while Sid hunted nearby. Within 15 minutes Carrie located the ring, hidden under the thick grass. At 10:25 we were on our way home.

Thank you, Jamie, for the very generous reward!

Received a call from a man that lost his wedding ring while shoveling light snow.

Told me he felt it slip off, Thought this would be a quick and easy search, however he must have shoveled it and tossed it because I found it on the opposite side of the driveway that he      thought it won on.  Beautiful ring with intricate engraving inside.

Happy ending, that’s all that counts.

Lost wedding ring – Dauphin Island, AL

Contact:

 

It was Wednesday evening and I was enjoying dinner with my BFF and detecting partner in Gulf Shores when I got a call from Justin who was vacationing at the beach from St Louis, MO. In spite of my phone displaying an unknown number, something told me to answer it. He explained that he had lost his wedding band over on Dauphin Island and sounded quite desperate to find it. Since I was visiting my friend for a week, I suggested I could probably look for it on Friday when I was planning to pass through on my way back home to Mobile. Hearing the disappointment in his voice, I decided my friend and I could go ahead and hop on the ferry first thing Thursday morning instead and try to help him out.

Justin anxiously met us upon our arrival at his rental and explained that he had thrown a football and felt the ring come off as he did so. They had been looking in the sand for it but, being platinum, it blended right in with the sand. He showed us where he had been standing and had even staked out an area where he believed the ring to be. By the time I was getting my machine set up, Cheryl had already completed her first pass of the area we were going to grid. I took about three steps toward the area to start when I heard Cheryl right behind me say, “I found it”….. pretty much right where I had been standing when I turned on my detector lol. There’s a good reason she is becoming known in the area by her well deserved nickname – “Beach Angel”. For the second time this week, I was thankful to have her with me as she seems to have an uncanny ability to go right to the exact area when we are doing a search. And Justin was very thankful to put his ring back on his finger where it belonged ! And please check out his awesome ministry channel on YouTube – Trial by Faith ……

I received a text from Gabrielle asking me if I could come out and look for another lost ring. I say « another » because she called me last year to look for a different ring she had lost. Unfortunately I was unable to find it. I agreed to come out but I had to wait as yet another snow was on its way.

The weather cleared and I was able to head out to search for the ring. She believed it was in the back yard where she had been cleaning up. It was a large area and I got started only to find a ton of targets. After I had been through the garden and yard areas twice I was convinced I was not going to find a ring on this trip either. As I was leaving I decided to detect my way to my vehicle, maybe I would dumb into the first ring I had been looking for. Suddenly I got a repeatable grunt and looked down – there was the ring she had most recently lost! Gabrielle had stepped out so I texted her that I found it. She could not believe I found it and that it was in the front yard. It was great to see a former kind and generous client and this time to return her lost ring.
