Lost Ring Playing VolleyBall at Corona Delmar Beach in Southern California .. Found Using a Metal Detecting Service

Your ring lost in the sand is not lost forever.. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man  … 949-500-2136 .. Professional metal detecting service available to give you advice or meet you at your location .


** It was a weekend Sunday afternoon when I got a call to help find a ring lost at Corona Delmar beach. They had lost a gold ring while playing volleyball and were still at the location. I was nearby, so I met them on the beach with my state of the art metal detecting equipment.

They told me that two rings were lost in the sand.  I was amazed that they had been able to find one of the rings hand searching the sand.
Anyway, I recovered the other ring shortly after starting a grid search with my state of the art metal detector. It was a big family group and they were all happy to see how easy it was to find the other ring. It’s always a special moment to see how happy people are when we can find a sentiment keepsake that they thought was impossible to find in a mass of sand.

Demetri contacted me about his lost gold ring and explained how he even purchased a cheap metal detector and spent a few frustrating hours searching his yard and only found a handful of junk. He had done some yard work and showed me all the places where he spent time digging and trimming bushes and cutting roots to make way for a good sized above ground planter box. I got busy grid searching for his lost gold ring and I quickly covered the key areas in the front of the house and then proceeded to the side and eventually to the back yard…and his ring was just not there. I asked Demetri more questions about where else he went on the day his ring went missing and he remembered that he had played with his kids in the neighbors front yard. So I figured why not give it a try. Again I began a systematic grid search and on the fourth pass I got a good signal that registered in the gold range and low and behold there was Demetri’s lost gold ring…just laying there in the grass!

Demetri was overjoyed and could not stop smiling! Maybe you have lost a ring or something special and need a ring finders help! Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk.

Lost Ring Found, Castle Rock Trail, Lake Tahoe

  • from Carson City (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

4:52pm, March 2nd, 2026, I received a text requesting a lost ring search on the Castle Rock Trail. This scenic trail is a one mile hike to a rock outcrop that provides spectacular views of Lake Tahoe. With the trailhead at 7,400+ feet in altitude, I expected a good amount of snow along the trail and the search area. The text included a description of how the ring was lost and satellite images with pinned gps coordinates.
March 3rd, around 8:30am, I arrived at the trailhead with metal detecting equipment and snowshoes. Fortunately the night-time temperatures were cold enough to create a frozen top crust on the deep snow and I didn’t need to use the snowshoes. The hike to the search site was just short of a mile with a little over 400 feet of elevation gain. With minimal cellular reception, it took a little extra time to locate the pinned gps coordinates. Within 10 minutes of searching, a solid repeatable signal was located. A quick dig in the snow revealed the lost ring. So within 15 hours of being notified, the ring was recovered. I scheduled a meetup with the ring owner that afternoon in Carson City, so the total time from being notified to the return of the ring was less than 24 hours.

Engagement Ring Lost at the Beach, Belmar NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Nicole called me around 8:30 p.m., clearly upset about losing her beautiful engagement ring on the beach earlier in the day. She’d been there with her children, enjoying a beautiful fall day, when she removed her ring to apply sunblock, setting it on her lap. In the flurry of activity, she forgot about the ring, got up, and went down to the water to grab a bucket for her son. Returning to the area where her chairs were set up,  she remembered the ring and began searching everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found.

After returning home, she was talking to a friend, who follows my page, and recommended that Nichole contact me, reassuring her that my success rate was phenomenal. After Nicole explained all the details, I told her there was a very good chance I could find it. Checking the tide charts, we decided it would be best to wait for the following afternoon’s low tide to begin the search.

When we met at the beach, Nichole took me to where she’d been the previous day. I started by searching around the chair setup, then moved to the area where her children had been playing, but with no luck. I expanded the search down the hill, about 20 feet wide, toward the water’s edge and then waded out to mid-calf depth, still with no results.

Nicole was beginning to lose hope, but I assured her that the ring had to be nearby. Considering that the current had been moving north, I expanded the search in that direction, moving from high to low tide marks. Just a few steps in, I picked up a signal and hoped it might be her ring. Sure enough, it was.

Nichole’s son, who had been showing his mother every target I had dug, was waiting patiently to see what this signal might be. I leaned over and quietly told him it was moms ring, and to reach into my scoop, take out the ring, and keep it hidden in his hand. When he finally opened his hand for his mom, her expression was priceless—pure joy. Moments like this are what make recovering people’s sentimental items so rewarding.

Lost 2 day old gold/diamond ring….Found in Manteca!!!

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

Chet was performing work on his quarter acre property in Manteca, CA.  He was moving around old tractors and a trailer full of steel beams.  At the end of the day, he made the discovery that the ring he had just received two days earlier for Valentine’s Day was now missing somewhere on the property.  He did a fair amount of searching for himself and even borrowed a metal detector from a friend with no luck.

When he contacted me through theringfinders.com he admitted to have not been able to sleep and even called himself a « desperate man ».  He felt awful when he had to come clean about the lost ring, but after talking to me, he was looking forward to a brighter day.

Well, that day came.  I performed a hasty search of the target area.  It was loud and there was trash everywhere. After 45 minutes, I decided to set up my grids and put on the tiny coil for purpose of better target separation.  I was in my second « swim lane » when I got a booming double beeper.  A perfect 13 in every direction.  We had made the recovery!!!

Just barely under the surface and very near our first search area I moved some tree clippings to reveal this gold and diamond beauty.  It was then that I turned it over to a very thankful Chet before taking some celebratory photos and cleaning up my grid.

It was a joyous afternoon for us both and I thank Chet for his good conversation and fantastic fruit he provided.

Newlyweds Lost Engagement Ring lost in Backyard in Sevierville TN

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Recovered After Weeks Missing in Backyard
There’s something extra special about helping a newlywed recover a lost engagement ring — especially when they’ve only been married three months.
I received a call from a young lady named Kendall who was understandably upset. Her engagement ring had been missing for about two to three weeks. She had lost it somewhere in her backyard and despite searching multiple times, it was nowhere to be found.
Like many people would, Kendall and her husband decided to take matters into their own hands. They purchased a metal detector and carefully searched the yard themselves. Unfortunately, without experience using the equipment — and not knowing exactly what signals to listen for — they had no luck locating the ring.
After weeks of frustration, they turned to the internet for help. That’s when they came across The Ring Finders and found my name, Phillip Mendez, listed as a local ring finder. They reached out, hopeful but understandably nervous.
When I arrived, Kendall showed me the areas where she believed the ring might have slipped off. Newly landscaped yards and thick grass can easily hide a small gold band, even in plain sight. After listening carefully to her story and narrowing down the most likely zones, I began a methodical grid search.
About 30 minutes later, I got a strong, clean signal.
Just beneath the surface of the grass was Kendall’s engagement ring.
The look on her face when she saw it again — pure relief and joy — is why I do what I do. Three months into marriage is far too soon to replace a ring filled with memories and meaning. Being able to reunite her with the exact ring that marked the beginning of her forever was incredibly rewarding.
If you’ve lost something valuable — especially a sentimental item like an engagement ring — don’t give up hope. Even after weeks outside, rings can still be found with the right equipment and experience.
Another happy ending, and another reminder that sometimes the right search makes all the difference.

Platinum And Diamond Anniversary Ring Lost In The Snow At Ice Fishing Derby, In Monmouth, Maine Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:
I received the following voicemail, late Saturday afternoon, February 21, 2026
“Hi, this is Justin L******. I’m calling uh, because I live in North Yarmouth, Maine , and uh, earlier this morning, it seems like my wife lost her ring. We have an idea of where it could be as a general area, but wasn’t sure if uh, you could provide any services to help us locate it. Now, if you could please give me a call back. My number is 207-***_****. Thank you. Bye.”
I immediately called Justin back and after asking him what happened, Justin gave me all the details. Justin, his wife Jackie and their children, had traveled to Cochnewagon Lake, in Monmouth, Maine . The family was attending the “Jacks Traps Youth Ice Fishing Derby”, which is an annual event, attended by literally hundreds and hundreds of people. Anyways, just before arriving to the lake, Jackie took her 10 year Anniversary Ring off and placed it, on a hat, that was in her lap. The very sentimental ring was a gift from Justin and is a Platinum and Diamond Ring. Jackie took the ring off to apply sunblock on her and her children’s faces. They would be out, on the lake all day, with no shelter, from the sun and as I always say, safety first. Once she finished applying the sunblock and they arrived, she exited the vehicle, helped unload all the equipment and then the family went a couple hundred yards, out onto the lake, where the children, enjoyed the fishing derby, around the drilled fishing holes. Towards the end of the day, the family went over to the Awards Ceremony and watched that for a while. While at the awards ceremony, Jackie took her gloves off and her stomach knotted up, her heart skipped a beat, as soon as she noticed her beloved anniversary ring was no longer on her finger. Jackie and Justin immediately going through the days events and thought the ring must have fallen into the parking lot, when she got out of the vehicle or possibly, still in the vehicle. Since they were way out on the lake, they decided to start searching the immediate area of where they were standing. Unfortunately, there was too much snow and to many people, in the area. If the ring was there, it was beneath the packed down snow. They then went back to the area, where the family had been ice fishing. Again, they did not find the ring, in all that snow. They also checked the parking lot and did not see the ring but the parking lot was full of vehicles and people. They went home with a very distraught Jackie thinking of nothing but her missing anniversary ring. Once home, Justin remembered seeing an article on The Ring Finders of Maine, from a few years earlier. Once he searched Ring Finder Maine, he saw many of my posts and that was when he contacted me.
I told Justin that being so late in the afternoon, I could meet him first thing in the morning, at 7:00am, right around sunrise. I would also see if Gary Hill was available to assist, in such a large, potentially, search area. I would also bring a backup metal detector, for him to use, if he would like. Three of us searching, what could be an area of a couple of football fields, large, would definitely be better than just me. Time is of the essence, in all lost ring recoveries. The ring was lost in a public area and someone may have seen it in the parking lot or out on the ice already and picked it up. The other big concern was the upcoming blizzard, in just 36 hours, on Monday morning. If we didn’t find it soon, it may be gone forever or damaged beyond repair, by a snowplow, in the parking lot. Justin signed right up for using my backup metal detector, without hesitation. Justin was closer to Monmouth Maine and he was actually heading back up there to search the parking lot, once everyone had dispersed. He would let me know if he found it. An hour or two later and now dark, Justin called me with the news of the ring still lost. He and Jackie told me the parking lot was very slushy and snow was packed, from everyone driving and walking on it, during the day. As the sun was now gone, they were worried the ring would freeze , in the slush and asked if the metal detectors would be able to find the ring, if it was frozen in the slush or snow. I told them yes, absolutely. I also told them I would bring test/set up rings, including a platinum ring to set up, calibrate the detectors and show Justin what he would be listening for, as he swung a metal detector.
So the next morning, Sunday February 22nd, Gary and I left our homes, at 5:35am, for the approximately hour and twenty minute drive to Monmouth, Maine. Once we arrived, I sent Justin a text , letting him know we were there and he replied he was only 5-10 out, from arriving. Gary and I looked out at the lake and were praying we didn’t have to go out there and search, such a very large area. As we were getting our equipment out of the car, Justin pulled in. After a few pleasantries, Justin pointed out the area they had parked, yesterday and the route Jackie had walked down to the lake. Once we calibrated the machines and Justin was shown how to use the detector, we headed towards the area where we were all hoping the ring would be.
Since our metal detectors will interfere with with other, if they are to close to each other, Gary started going up along the snowbank, towards the area, where they had parked. I asked Justin to search the area, between the two parking lots, but closer to the second lot, so as we wouldn’t interfere with each other . I would follow Gary, in the area he had skipped over. Nothing was found along the snow bank other than a dime and a few targets, in the ground. Justin had come over to see what the targets looked like as I explained why some of the targets could not be a platinum ring. Gary and I would now search the area, closest to the lot Jackie had been in. I would start on the right side, along the snow bank, Gary would be about 8-10 feet behind me, and a few steps to my left. We call this the snowplow grid search. It’s like the snowplows, on the Maine Turnpike. One plow will be in the far right lane, one in the center lane and one in the passing lane, each plow covering ground, the other plows don’t get. After a few steps, Justin had a target and I went over to see what it was. Unfortunately, it wasn’t Jackie’s ring. I i returned to where I had left off and as I arrived, Gary said to me, “Hey, I’ve got a really good target, 14 on the VDI. It’s down in the ice and snow. I grabbed my detector and checked the signal and it sounded really great, but was it the ring? Gary got his pinpointer out, located the target and very carefully, chiseled the ice and snow away. Gary really didn’t want to damage the target. As he was removing the ice and snow, we caught a small glimpse of a silver colored ring, with diamonds. Gary has found Jackie’s anniversary ring, YES!!! I looked over at Justin and shouted out, “We got it, Gary found the ring”. Justin came running over and Gary pointed to the ring still buried in the ice and snow and gave Justin the honor of removing the ring. Once Justin removed the ring and took a photo, he sent a text to Jackie. Justin then called Jackie, with the good news Jackie was pleased, over the moon happy and I can’t be certain but I thought her voice cracked a time or two. Gary and I also noticed a few happy tears coming down Justin’s face. He was extremely happy and he was wearing his emotions, on his sleeve. When I congratulated Justin and stuck my hand out, for a handshake. Justin wouldn’t have it and gave me a big hug with a smile, ear to ear
A beautiful moment for Jackie and Justin. Gary and I do this, for exactly these reasons. There is no better feeling in the world than to be able to help return such sentimental items. As we always say, every ring has a story and now Jackie’s anniversary ring has a new chapter. Gary and I were on cloud nine, as we said goodbye to Justin. Another ring back on the finger. We have the best job in the world. We love our job!!!
Once home, I received the following message from Justin
“Thank you so much Dennis, I am eternally grateful for your help finding my wife’s ring. I’m still taken aback about your willingness to come and help at a moments notice. In today’s world, it makes you remember that there are still so many good people out there, and you stand out.”
Also, Please check out the video of Justin removing the ring, from the snow and ice and Jackie and Justin’s conversation , over the phone.
We have the best job in the world. We love our job!!!❤️🙏

Found Diamond Ring in Whistler Resort, BC

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your Ring/Cell phne/Keys??? Call ASAP-24/7 Chris 778-838-3463

Hey there! I’ve got some exciting news to share! I found a lost diamond engagement ring at Whistler Resort, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

So, here’s the story: I received a text message late Thursday night about a lost ring. I didn’t see the text message until 5 am when I woke up to go for a workout. After my workout, I sent a message to call me when they woke up.

Just a few minutes later, I got a call for help. The man explained that they were leaving the next morning for the USA, so I needed to get up there today. I quickly scheduled a search for that day and headed up to help.

One thing he mentioned was that they had an argument and the ring went flying from a 3rd-story balcony to the snow below. Can you imagine?

When I arrived and met the young man, he showed me the area where they had searched, but unfortunately, they had no luck. I pulled out my Deus 2 and started searching, and after 20 minutes, I found the beautiful diamond ring!

I hope this brings some joy and happiness to the young couple during this tough time. We all have our ups and downs, and forgiveness is a powerful thing.

I love my job! It’s amazing how these things happen and how we can make a difference in someone’s life. See you at the nest search
