**** Kathleen had been at a party in Long Beach, CA. with her friends on a Friday night. After midnight they all decided to take a swim in the ocean. Unfortunately she lost her vintage gold tourmaline ring in the water. After finding my contact information online, she told me that she was only in waist deep water and felt the ring slip off her finger. 

Kathleen was unable to meet me at the location. In this case it would be unnecessary because I would be searching at the low tide at 4am. Also she had sent me very clear directions using google earth marked up screen shots. My first search was in successful but I did get an idea of the conditions. The next day was a lower low tide and I was prepared to dig the many trash metal signals on this beach. 

I began my grid search in the center of the area of the loss, covering the zone to the north towards the water and back to the dry sand. After doing about 40 yards in that direction, I returned to my starting point where I continued my grid to the south. Second grid line in the south direction ”Boom” a great signal ( same as a aluminum pull tab )   Kathleen’s gold tourmaline ring. My first tourmaline ring and it was a beautiful color as the sunrise was beginning. 

I called her later that morning with the good news. We met later that morning to get her ring where it belongs. This ring was purchased several years ago in New Orleans, Louisiana as memory of her vacation to Marti Gras events. This was a challenging search dealing with the early tides and the metal trash, but worth every minute to be able to see the smile on Kathleen’s face when she held her cherished keepsake.

Don’t wait, call as soon as possible… Stan the Metal Detector Man …  949-500-2136  .. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “

Fence Line Dispute Settled, Property Markers Found – Loris, SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Leslie on Friday, July 30th, saying that I was referred to her by Joe Denton, local Minelab detector distributer. She needed to find a couple of property markers to settle a dispute with her Home Owners Association and wanted to know if I could help. I asked a couple of questions, got her address and agreed to meet her at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

I got to her house and we met in the driveway. We walked around the house to the backyard and she showed me the area in dispute. Leslie had everything ready; she had her plat survey, set up an umbrella to protect me from the sun, and some ice cold water. Surprisingly, there were no obstacles, like power lines, cable lines, metal fences or sprinkler lines in the area. And better yet, the end of one of the corner markers was sticking out of the ground. With that, it was just a matter of measuring off the distances between the markers from the plat. I used my Gold Bug 2 metal detector to find the rebar pole, dug a hole and pinpointed the actual poles. Leslie drove steel rods in the ground, sticking up about 6-8 inches, next to the markers. The two markers in question were found and marked, leaving Leslie a happy lady.

Leslie – Glad I could help.

Lost White Gold Ring Underwater Found On Harsens Island Michigan

Dad’s Island Gold…

….As Nate and his family steered their watercraft towards a quiet and relaxing island, rough waters had them veer off course towards a dock that was reachable. As Nate roped off the boat and stepped off onto the dock his ring slipped off. On site this morning calmer water greeted us. The path from shore to the suspected location led us over slippery rocks but eventually we felt nice firm sand beneath our feet. At a depth of 4 feet or so I started to metal detect a grid search area. Looking thru my scuba snorkel mask I could easily see the metal detector coil as I searched, along with a few mollusks attached to the dock piers and mossy rocks. I was surprised that I didn’t get any junk metal signals by the dock. A few more coil sweeps and I got a good signal. Taking a deep breath, submerging to about 5 feet and reaching into the sand with my pin-pointer revealed this nice white gold ring! As I came up thru the water and surfaced, Nate was excitedly watching as I held his ring into the air! Moving to shallower water, he immediately put it back on, closed his fist and headed for his camera!, along with saying how thankful he was that his ring would not be a permanent resident on the island.

Lost wedding band recovered in Manasquan NJ by Dennis Burlingame

Contact:

Got a call from fellow RingFinder Matty St Germain if I would help with a recovery. Matty got a call from Heather that while enjoying the beach her husband Andre was in the surf with his daughter and felt his wedding ring slip off. Matty went down the next 2 low tides but couldn’t find it. Having bad weather the ocean was a little choppy and hard to detect. I went down not knowing if I was going to hunt because a storm was on its way that night, the ocean was choppy but I went in anyway. Working through the swells after about 45 minutes I got the low tone on the detector I was looking for and found the ring. I met Heather where she was having dinner with her family that night and returned her husband ring. Another happy ending for all.

Lost Lady’s Diamond Engagement Ring – OBX– Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Heather called me around 1:30 today.  Are you Ed Duffey?  « Yes, » I answered.  We need your help.  I’ve lost my engagement ring on the beach.  We’ve looked and looked and even got a metal detector but it just beeps at everything.  Her voice was quivering somewhat as she describe the facts of how it was lost.  She was distraught.  Why shouldn’t’ she be? She had only been given the ring two days ago.

I said, don’t worry, we have a very good chance of finding it.  I’m in my truck now so I have to head home to pick up my gear and I will be there as soon as possible.

When I arrived Heather was waiting and led me down to where here and her fiancé Steven thought it was lost.  They had put a canopy over the area to mark it.  It was 93 and the sand was very hot!!

I began my sweeps.  I got and immediate hit but it was very deep so I decided to go on.  I covered the entire canopy area and that same area down to the water.  No luck!  I then check out the area around their chairs…nothing!

I went back to the deep target.  I took a scoop full of sand out and it was still in…next scoop got it.

The dazzling diamond display lit up the sand.  I picked it up and they asked did you find it.  I held it up and Heather and Steven were ecstatic!

As the neighboring canopies rang out in applause,  I decided to give the ring to Steven so he could present it to her again…formally.  Romance on the beach!!!

Lost Ring Randolph NJ… Found!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

LT contacted me after losing his wedding band at the beach.  He had placed it in a zipper pocket in his tent and forgot to zipper the pocket.  When he was getting ready to go home the ring was nowhere to be found.  We made plans and met up at the local beach in Randolph NJ where he had lost the ring.  LT was great, he knew exactly where he had been sitting and was able to outline an area to help narrow down the search area!  I started searching the area that he had outlined, and I was able to locate the ring in about 20 mins.   So happy I was able to help reunite ring and owner! 🙂 And remember, if you have lost an item take note of the exact area you are in with landmarks or pins on Google maps.  It really helps in locating any item you have lost!
