Lost Gold, Diamonds & Sapphires Wedding Band at Royal Hawaiian Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Michael who was back home on the mainland wanting to know if I could detect his wife Erin’s Gold, Diamonds & Sapphires Wedding Ring in the dry sand at Royal Hawaiian Beach.  I was heading to lunch and he gave me Erin’s number to coordinate the search time.  We agreed I would be there around 2PM and Erin would meet me on the beach to show me the area.  My daughter Jodi hooked me up by dropping me off at the Royal Hawaiian Beach Access which brought me to the exact spot Erin was waiting.  Erin showed me where she was digging and it was about a 10 by 15 foot square.  I fired up the « Manticore » did a noise cancel then started the hunt.  First trip around the box no targets.  Second trip solid #3 on the Beast and in one scoop there was Erin’s gorgeous ring in the scoop.  Several tourists on the beach started clapping and congratulating us.  Erin was flying home in about 5 hours so that recovery was a major load off her mind.  Aloha to Erin & Michael!

PHONE FOUND AT MILLENNIUM PARK, Grand Rapids, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

My daughter-in-law, Abby, saw a FB post from a lady losing a phone and gave this lady my phone number. Sammy gave me a call and said her brother had lost his phone while standing on the deck/pier that juts out into the lake. Sammy could not meet me there so I went to take a look at the spot where he lost it. The spot where he dropped the phone from the deck has only about 6 inches of water and is right next to the shore. Water is muddy and the phone is not in sight. There is a rule of no metal detecting in the park so I went looking for a park ranger and he came back with me and I showed him where the phone was lost. He said I will give you 30 minutes to find it with a metal detector but don’t let anybody see you using it. It took me about 15 minutes and nobody came in sight of me. Found it right next to that fishing bobber and it was still working. Gave Sammy a call about finding the phone and delivered it to her house on my way home. Sammy said her brother was afraid to tell his mother that he lost the phone so he confided with Sammy to help him. We saved little brother’s butt!

Lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring hunt began when I got a text from Keli asking, « Can you possibly help us? My husband lost his wedding band? » I immediately called and told Keli who was on vacation from Bowie, Maryland, that I would grab my gear and head down as I’m only 10 minutes away from the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  Thankfully,  when I arrived there was a free parking stall.  Keli met me at the Shrimp truck and then took me to meet her husband Jason so he could narrow down the search area.  Jason assured me he was only waist deep when he caught the football which knocked his Platinum & Diamond wedding ring off and he watched it disappear into the murky lagoon.  The first grid we made only yielded some trash & coin targets.  Keli really thought they were more to the west so I extended that direction and no luck still.  Jason and Keli asked if I could do a few more grid lines to the west towards a gentleman on the beach.  I was on what was going to be the final leg when « BOOM » nice 37-54 target on the Manticore and in one scoop there was Jason’s awesome ring in the scoop.  Several cheers rang out on the beach as I reunited Jason with his ring.  We had a few laughs and hugs and it was obvioud there vacation was going to be just fine.  Aloha to Jason & Keli!

Platinum Wedding Rings found in the Curbside Garbage Bin after Searching Home in Brampton, Ontario

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

Raj and her Husband were preparing for a trip out west to Vancouver and thought she had put her wedding rings on top of the dresser!

Both her and her husband had tried looking for them, and during their time away, she followed up with him as he thought she had!

When they arrived back home, they continued to search the home with no luck!

They called upon me on Canada Day to come down to search the home! I started off in the first area of the process: the master bedroom! I searched through every nook and cranny in the drawers, the bed/bedding, the flooring, the floor vents, the closets, the storage bins, the bathroom sink and toilet!

I continued on in the other bedrooms and bathroom with no luck. I proceeded to the main floor and continued my search process.

After an hour, I proceeded outside to the Region of Peel curb-side garbage bins where there were a total of six bags of garbage to search!

It never fails, but I came upon searching the very last garbage bag and lo and behold, I recovered Raj’s platinum engagement ring and wedding!!!

Both Raj and her Husband were absolutely thrilled, but what a small world it is as her Husband is a work colleague of mine!

Region of Peel Garbage ZERO – Ring owners ONE!

Sharp Stakes in Santa Monica Back Yard…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Michael called to see if I could help him find some buried stakes in his back yard. He had recently purchased his home, and was in the back yard with his girlfriend when she stepped on an old rusted stake that had been cut off just under the surface, rather than dug out, and it cut her foot up pretty bad. I let him know I could do the search, and we arranged a day for it.

I got to Michael’s house, and he lead me to where the first stake was found. It was partially dug up, and I reached to feel it, realizing it was as sharp as a razor. It was an old rusted fence stake that must have been hammered at least three feet into the ground. I realized that instead of digging them out the previous owner figured it would be much easier to just grind them off. Michael did not know if there were any more, but desperately wanted to know for the safety of anyone coming into his yard. After the search was complete, I had found 6 more dangerously sharp stakes to be removed. Needless to say, Michael was very relieved to know he could free his yard of these harmful objects.

Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Saturday, June 15th at about 1:45 pm, I received a text message from Haley saying, “Hey I was wondering if you could help me. My husband lost his wedding band at Myrtle Beach while we were there. We know around what place he lost it on the beach, but we don’t have a metal detector and are actually home from vacation now.” I asked her to call me so I could get the details of when, where and how. During the phone call she told me the hotel they were staying at, the day it was lost and that it was lost in the dry sand. She was one of five calls I had for the day, but number two on the list due to the location. After a successful recovery and return in Wrightsville Beach NC I headed 80 plus miles to the address she gave me in Myrtle Beach, SC. She had also sent me a few pictures of the hotel. When I arrived, I started a grid search from the south end of the hotel working my way north. About halfway through the search I called her to verify about where behind the hotel they were sitting. She told me they were closer to the north end, which was good because I hadn’t gotten that far yet. Unfortunately, there was a lot of trash, coins and junk in the dry sand that took up a lot of extra time digging. Finally, I got a solid 10 VDI (visual display indication) on the Nox 800. Lower than what I expected for a tungsten ring but possible depending on the size of the ring. I dug the shallow target and bingo! I checked the engraving, both on the inside and outside and had a match from what Haley had told me. I took a quick picture and text it to her. She responded almost immediately saying “That’s it.” She called me and I got her address and told her I stick it in the mail Monday.

Fast forward to Thursday June 20th and I got notification through tracking that the ring was delivered to the PO Box. I text Haley and she was going to check and see if it showed up. She responded that she had gotten a yellow slip in the box, but she’d have to wait until the next day to pick it up. Today, Friday, she text me saying “I got the ring, and I will get a picture of me and Jake with it whenever he gets home from work.” A few hours later, I got a great picture of the happy couple holding Jacob’s ring.

Haley and Jacob – Thank you for trusting me to help find and return you precious treasure. Take care of each other!

… Victoria lost a very sentimental gold ring in the sand at the original muscle beach workout area, which is located just south of the Santa Monica Pier.

Her friend had been holding the gold ring while Victoria was working out on the bars. After handing the ring back to Victoria, she slipped the ring onto one of her smaller fingers.

A half hour later as the two of them went to get on their bikes. She realized her most important ring was missing. It a gold ring that was her father’s. He  had given Victoria before he passed several years ago.

Even though it was lost the day before in a heavily detected area of the beach, I told her I would give it a try. The least I could do is thoroughly search the area to tell her it is not there.

I was able to eliminate all the areas under the bars, rings, swings and rope climb. I saved the 60-75ft path from the swings to the bicycle parking space. Boom ! .. The very special sentimental gold ring that was the only physical item that Victoria had to remember her father.

If you need help finding an important lost metal item, don’t waste time trying to learn how to operate a borrowed or rented metal detector.. Call an Experienced Metal detecting specialist.. Stan 949-500-2136  .. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE “

RING FOUND AT VAN BUREN STATE PARK, South Haven, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
                            
Dave and Gabby are on vacation from their home in Chicago and camping at the park. Yesterday they were on the beach and Dave took off his hat, put his ring in the hat and then went swimming. He came back, grabbed his hat and forgot about the ring. The ring went flying and they spent about 45 mins looking for it with no luck. They were just married in May of this year and I asked him if he was in the doghouse. His comment was, not yet, but I think it probably depends on what happens today. I met Dave in the parking lot this morning and we had a long walk to the beach. He had marked the area on the beach where it happened with a big tree branch. He showed me the area of not more than 10ft square where he thought the ring must be and I am thinking this is too easy. I took two swings with the detector coil and hit the sweet sound of gold. I knew right away this was his ring so I gave him the pinpointer and let him do the honor of digging up the ring. The look on his face was amazing and he was shocked at how fast we found it. Saved another vacation from disaster. Somehow doing this never gets old!!

Lost Gold Wedding Band Found- Ogden Utah

It was late in the evening and Lee was working to get some vegetation planted on his slope behind his house to prevent erosion. He only had an hour of sun left so he was hurrying as fast as he could. After finishing, he went to wash his hands and notice his gold wedding ring that he had been wearing for the last 37.5 years was missing. He reached out me for help but I was traveling for work at the time. His neighbor offered to come search the area with his metal detector but was unsuccessful. We made plans for me to come search when I was back in town and upon arriving at his house, he showed me the area to search. I dare say it took all of about 4 minutes to get a signal that turned out to be his ring! As you can see by the picture, Lee & his dog were happy to see the ring again!

Property Markers Found with a metal detector in Sanford, Florida!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

A friend of mine was needing to locate some property markers/pins and asked if I could have a look with my metal detector to verify the exact locations of each pin. He and a friend had measured out where they thought they should be and on three of the pins they were fairly close. I started out at the front of the property and set my metal detector to the « All Metal » mode and along the sidewalk I found each pin just off of the cement and only a few inches under the grass. Then I went to the back of the property and found the third pin right up against an AT+T box. And the final pin was in a corner of the property that was near the corner post of the neighbors chain link fence and a city light pole. I scanned the area and found a few large rusty nails and took my small shovel and cleared a four foot square area down six inches and still no pin. I scanned again and was not able to detect anything iron so I cleared more dirt down another six inches thinking maybe some fill dirt had been added to the corner of the property and still nothing. I swung my ATMax metal detector wider around the cleared area and got a strong signal and I finally located the rebar stake with the surveyors plastic yellow cap…but the stake was laying flat under four inches of dirt as if someone had pulled it up or mistakenly had dug it up when putting in the large wooden light/utility pole or possibly when the neighbor put in his fence corner post.
