Thank You  »Jay Durant » Reporter for Global News

I received a phone call from a young man who lost his wedding band at a park, he said he saw a story about my service on Global News that afternoon,  it gave him hope that maybe I could find it for him.

He also told me he had rented a metal detector and searched for it but could not find it. I always wonder how many times that happens where people rent or buy a detector and don’t find what they’re looking for and walk away.

When I met Jeff at the park, he showed me the area where he had put a blanket down while his youngster was playing, and when he got up, he shook the blanket and the ring went flying. It took me less than five minutes to find his white gold wedding band that he wore for six years. I have to thank Jay Durant & Global News for running a great story and helping their viewers find what they thought was lost forever.

I Love my Job!

 

Wedding Band Lost While Sledding – Found! by metal detector specialist Brian Carpenter in Irwin, PA

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I got a call from Don on my way home from Digstock in NC. He lost his wedding ring in his backyard a few months ago and wanted to see if I could come out and look for it. He had looked, even with a metal detector, and did not have any luck. After getting home and checking my schedule I went out the next day.

When I arrived I met Don’s wife and she showed me where to look. Pretty standard, big hill for sledding with a few small trees and a little area of brush. I started to look and before too long Don came back from work. After about a half hour I found his ring in a mossy area a short distance from where he thought he might have lost it. I gave it to his wife to give to him when he came out of the house. He was happy it was found and I took him to the back to show him where. There had been some pretty good sounds in the backyard and Don told me it was an old golf course. He gave me permission to look around which I was very appreciative. On top of finding his ring I added a bit more clad to the collection, nothing good but it was a beautiful day and a new place to look. As always it was nice to meet another kind and generous client and be able to return their ring to them.

Contact:

I received a phone call about a lost Engagement Ring which was lost while clearing and cleaning the old plants from the flower beds. She was just doing her normal routine while wear gloves. Then after the job was done the ring was gone. We was able to perform the search the next day. Started the search in the first areas with no luck. Still continued through each flower bed area and the first dump site of two  for the plant waste materials. During the search of the second waste plant materials site, I had a hit in the dead plants, as I moved the plants away the hit disappeared which told me the item has fallen down into the older pile. Started moving the debris out of the way and there was the ring that has fallen and hidden itself. She was very happy to have the Ring returned to her.

Lost wedding ring found on the Soccer Field at West Ranch HS in Valencia

Lost Your Ring in Santa Clarita? How Dave MacDonald, Metal Detecting Expert, Saved Raul’s Wedding Ring
March 10, 2025
Yesterday afternoon, I received an urgent call from Raul, a Valencia resident who had lost his wedding ring at West Ranch High School. Raul plays in a competitive men’s soccer league every Sunday on the school’s grassy field. Usually, his focus is on winning the game, but this time, victory took a backseat—he just wanted his precious wedding ring back. He explained that he’d removed the ring for safekeeping, placing it in or on his bag, only to discover it missing an hour later.
Raul suspected the ring was lost somewhere between two points on the field—a sprawling 200-yard stretch of grass in Valencia. That’s a big area to cover, so I knew I’d need to bring my A-game as Santa Clarita’s trusted metal detecting expert. We arranged to meet on Monday at 3:30 PM, after the school day ended and the field cleared out. Raul and his friend had bought a couple of cheap metal detectors the day before, hoping to find it themselves. I advised him to return them—when it comes to finding lost rings in Santa Clarita, Valencia, Castaic, or Canyon Country, Dave The RingFinder is the name you can trust.
The Search Begins with Dave The RingFinder
We started at the endpoint near where we parked, retracing Raul’s steps from Sunday. I worked slowly and methodically, ensuring no patch of grass was overlooked. Fortunately, the West Ranch HS field in Valencia had minimal trash, so my metal detector stayed quiet—perfect conditions for a focused search. As we progressed, though, time dragged on, and the remaining field shrank. I started to worry: had someone picked up the ring, or worse, had a mower flung it hundreds of feet away, lost forever?
Halfway through, I suggested a new strategy—let’s head to where Raul had originally been on the field and start fresh. He marked off a 30’x30’ area, and I began gridding it out like the metal detecting pro I am, while Raul searched nearby. I dug up 20-30 quarters and dimes—typical finds on a school field—but no gold yet. Doubt crept in. Then, my detector let out a double beep, a low tone that could mean a gold ring… or just another pull-tab. I held my breath, dug down, and there it was—Raul’s wedding ring, gleaming in the grass!
Another Happy Ending Thanks to Dave MacDonald
Raul’s relief was instant—he was out of the doghouse, and his ring was back where it belonged. As I like to say, “God is good!” Another lost ring recovered, right here in Valencia.

Night Time Loss of Platinum Ring Turns into Succesfull Recovery, San Clemente, CA.

*** Many times people spend hours looking for their lost ring before realizing they need help. Especially when they saw the ring come off their finger. Most the time it is a waste of time and can result in a total loss of the ring.  There are many more complications they may run into after   

beginning a search including that the ring was actually still at home or lost somewhere before they got to  the beach.

Rick was at San Clemente Beach, CA. When he raised his arm to swinging it down to brush sand off his pants.

He was positive it came off as he brushed his clothing. Straight down or in back of where he was standing.

Wrong ! I searched those areas he believe the heavy platinum ring had gone. No signals from my detector.. It was such a small area, I even did a cross grid. Then, I went way outside the potential area. Boom! more than 30ft. from where he stood, his platinum ring. I believe it actually came off when he raised his hand to swing it down to brush sand off his clothing. You never know, searching involves detective work, good equipment, persistence, and most of all experience.

If the item is there a experienced metal detector expert can find it..

Ring recovered in Santa Cruz, Nisene Marks park

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

Got a call from « Madison ».  Visiting from Sacramento, to Santa Cruz / Watsonville.   Her & some friends spent the day hiking several miles of trails in Nisene Marks park.   Prior to starting the hike, she had taken off her 1 carat diamond solitaire ring, and put it into her jacket pocket « for safe keeping ».  She also had her smart phone in the same jacket pocket.

 

During the course of a ~4 mile hike, she had taken the phone out, several times, for picture taking, checking her GPS, etc…   At the end of the day, she realized her ring was not in the pocket any longer.  She figured it must have come out during the hike.   And thought maybe the action of pulling the phone, in and out of the pocket, could have caused the ring to come out .  Eg.:  Maybe the « crown » gets caught on the rubber edge of the phone casing, etc…

 

Sure enough, after ~3 hrs. retrace hike, we were able to find the ring, under leaf-duff, at one of the spots where she’d stopped to take pix.   Glad your heirloom is back safely in your family Madison !   Nice meeting you guys.  Glad I could help.   Thanx for the tip.

A quick night time recovery in Huntington Beach (Sunset Beach)

Call Surf City Ring Finder- 714-944-0555

Andrew called me and said his wife took her gold and diamond wedding ring off and set it on her towel only to pick up her towel later and lose it in the sand.

I met Andrew at the beach and he had marked off a large area in the sand and also place a stick near where they were sitting.

I turned on my detector and the first swing I got a 12 on my Equinox 800. This was a first signal recovery and a beautiful ring to boot.

Lost Lady’s Wedding Band in Suitland, Maryland…Found Near Sidewalk by Ring Hero

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Nancy’s 14 karat yellow gold, .5 carat solitaire diamond wedding ring with multiple diamonds surrounding half of the band… successfully recovered by member of THE RING FINDERS

Nancy, Cesar and their precious little daughter rejoice at the incredible sight of Nancy’s beautiful diamond wedding band which ring finder Brian Rudolph was able to metal detect and return to the couple

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Nancy lost her irreplaceable 14 karat yellow gold .5 carat solitaire diamond wedding ring with multiple diamonds surrounding half of the band. It was assumed that my client lost her ring somewhere in the front yard based on the situation that the couple privately shared with me.

Cesar (Nancy’s husband) found my profile on THE RING FINDERS website, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in finding lost rings for people. After we talked about the loss of Nancy’s sentimental keepsake, we set up a time for me to come to their house two days later.

As soon as I arrived at the house, Cesar pointed to his small front yard and said that the lawn was the only place that the ring could have been lost. The couple had searched the grass for several hours but all of their efforts led to no avail.

Nancy’s husband and I had a time of prayer, asking God to help me find the ring for the couple. I reminded my client that God was the one who instituted the whole concept of marriage in the beginning of time and therefore I always feel favored by the Lord when I pray for His help when searching for lost engagement rings and wedding bands. Cesar was in full agreement with my Biblical beliefs.

I set up my metal detecting equipment and laid down gridlines across the entire lawn which stretched out all the way to the sidewalk. Lane by lane I searched for the extremely petite gold ring, and to my great frustration I encountered terrible interference coming from live electrical lines in various places buried under the ground. With something this small that I was looking for, it was going to be a great challenge to find the cherished wedding band in the midst of the torturing distractions coming through my headphones due to the interference I was experiencing.

After I completed metal detecting almost the entire front lawn, I started searching the final grid lane located at the very bottom of the property, adjacent to the sidewalk. At that point, I was very concerned that the ring may had been eyeballed by a pedestrian and regretfully picked up and taken away. However, I still had hope in that 3 foot by 40 foot area of grass that remained un-scanned.

As it turned out, even to my greatest surprise, just a foot and a half away from the sidewalk, only 2 feet from finishing the grid lane, my metal detector picked up a very promising signal. My machine’s screen registered numbers that fell in the range of a lady’s gold or platinum ring.

I knelt down to the ground, pinpointed the target with my handheld detector and yes, there it was, Nancy’s beautiful yellow gold diamond wedding band! I couldn’t believe it! It was partially lying beneath the dirt and grass! Even I was shocked at the incredible « fantastic finish »!

Nancy and her husband Cesar were beyond excited and quite relieved after I surprised each one of them separately with the wonderful news of my successful recovery of the 3 year old sentimental wedding band! They were so grateful.

Before I left the house, the three of us (as well as their little girl who was being held in the arms of her father) expressed our deepest thanks to the Lord who helped me to assist this desperate couple in recovering their irreplaceable piece of jewelry that they were incapable of finding themselves! It was an unforgettable time of thanksgiving between the four of us!

Bethesda, Maryland Man Loses Wedding Ring…Found by Ring Finder Brian Rudolph

  • from Washington (District of Columbia, United States)

Dan’s platinum wedding band that was rescued from the ground by THE RING HERO, Brian Rudolph

Dan’s excitement and relief can be seen as he holds up one of his most special possessions which was found by detectorist Brian Rudolph

Brian Rudolph, Lost Item Recovery Specialist (also known as THE RING HERO) searches  Land, Water, Sand, Snow, Leaves, Cliffs, Houses and Vehicles. He Will Find Your Lost Item! Call ASAP (301) 466-8644!

Dan lost his wedding band and he didn’t know where it fell off of his finger. The ring wasn’t even loose and by the time Dan discovered that it was missing, he didn’t know where to start looking for the irreplaceable keepsake.

Dan looked for about an hour around his house and outdoors but unfortunately the ring never turned up. At some point, the sad gentleman looked online to see if there were professionals that search for lost items such as rings. He was so happy to find THE RING FINDERS, an elite international directory of metal detectorists who specialize in recovering lost items of all kinds (especially rings).

I received a text from the client inquiring about my services. I was happy to discuss details about the disappearance of his beloved wedding band. I asked Dan if he still had the trash from a week ago during the time his ring went missing and he confirmed that he did in fact save the garbage. I encouraged him to first check the trash bag before setting up a time for me to come to his property.

By the time we finished talking on the phone, it was clear that the only areas that I could metal detect would be spaces near the basketball hoop / base, the side yard located behind the hoop, the neighbor’s side yard and the front yard including the bushes.

I arrived at Dan’s house the next day and we immediately reviewed all of the potential areas that I needed to search. His kids were excited to watch THE RING HERO at work.

I metal detected around the basketball hoop, all of the areas on the left side of the property, part of the front and side lawn of the neighbor’s house, the client’s backyard but towards the front portion of the house, as well as the bushes in front of the property. Nothing turned up.

The last place to search was the front lawn. Dan was playing soccer with his son before playing some basketball on one particular day and so it was a slight possibility that the ring could have slipped off somewhere in the grass or in one of the flower beds.

I metal detected in straight lines, back and forth across the property until I came to the area where Dan remembered retrieving the soccer ball at one particular moment during his play time with his son. As I neared the end of the grid lane, my metal detector gave me a very promising signal. It was in the range of a men’s wedding band and it was located above ground or maybe just below the surface.

As it turned out, when I knelt down to the ground to investigate the target signal, there it was, the ring that I had been looking for for the past hour! I could see the platinum halo below the grass line just waiting for me to recover it and return it to its proper owner!

I was so happy for my client! I surprised Dan and his family inside their house just minutes after recovering the ring. He couldn’t believe it! He studied it over and over again and I told him to check the inscription inside which would prove that I found his one and only wedding band! Carolyn (Dan’s wife) was just blown away by my efforts! The children were all excited and couldn’t wait to see where I actually pulled the ring from the ground!

Before I left the property, the family thanked me over and over again for being their RING HERO! It was truly a gratifying experience to rescue something so irreplaceable and so special to this couple – something that would have never been seen or worn again had it not been for my expertise and for my own personal reliance upon my Lord and Messiah…my true Ring Hero!

Visitor from Australia Loses Wedding Ring .. Found and Returned by Stan the Detector Man

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

If you need help finding your lost ring or other important metal item call or text.. Stan the Metal Detector Man.. 949-500-2136

*** Dave’s friend from Australia was visiting him in San Clemente at Riviera Beach. At the end of the day he realized his white gold wedding band was missing. He wasn’t sure if the loss happened at the beach, but he discovered it missing 20 minutes after leaving the beach.

The next day I responded to Dave’s call for help. He showed me a large area where they had been the day before. He had to leave to his work, I would not need any more directions. The beach only had three people on the towel line, so I cleared the major part of the towel line before more beach goers sat on the potential area of the loss. After that I concentrated on the rest of the sand leading off the beach.

After about 1-1/2 hours, I had cleared all the area except where the three people were sitting. Then I saw them pack up to leave the beach. A couple minutes later I had the missing ring in my sand scoop. The only people on the beach that morning were sitting on the lost ring.

Next thing I did was call Dave so we could arrange to meet near his work place to return the ring. Dave would surprise his friend when he returns from a side trip to the east coast.
