Struck Out…….

  • from Bristol (Vermont, United States)

Well, I wanted to share that after just 6 hours of going live I received my first call to help locate a lost Brooch. The lady informed me that it could be in her house, car, or local supermarket, but she was also in her yard working and was praying it wasn’t at the supermarket. She lived a half hour away and was a very stormy afternoon. I told her that after checking the radar to see if the storms had passed that I was enroute to her. It wasn’t a large area to cover and in less than an hour I had covered the area completely with no luck of it being there. I was hoping for a slam dunk but only had about a 25% chance it being in the grass. I’m hoping to hear that she finds it in her car or house.

Another ring found and returned in Western Wisconsin!

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
 I received a text from a woman who had lost her wedding ring during a family weekend at a lake cabin. She had been talked into playing volleyball with her kids down by the water. She normally wouldn’t play with jewelry on, but figured it would only be for a short time. While hitting the ball, her ring flew off and disappeared into the grass. She and her family searched for two days, even borrowing a metal detector from a neighbor and checking the water, but had no luck. Her mom found my Ringfinders page and reached out. I cleared my schedule and headed up the next day. When I arrived, she showed me exactly where she had been standing. I began a careful grid search of the grass area. After clearing most of it, I expanded outward into the taller grass in the neighboring yard — about 20 feet from where she thought the ring had landed. That’s where I found it. She was out searching with the borrowed detector at the time, so I called her over and had her swing over the spot so she could hear what a ring sounds like. She looked down, spotted it, and picked it up. The relief and happiness on her face said it all. She was shocked that the ring had traveled so far from where she expected it to be. These recoveries are always special, especially when the ring means so much to the owner.
If you’ve lost a ring or piece of jewelry in Western Wisconsin, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help you out.

Another wedding ring safely returned in Western Wisconsin!

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
 I got a call from a gentleman who had just gotten home from vacation and realized his wedding ring was missing. He had lost a little weight recently, so the ring was fitting a bit loose. He wasn’t sure if it had slipped off while carrying things into the house or somewhere in his yard. He had a pretty small backyard, so I met up with him and started searching right away. I checked the yard and his car with no luck. He then mentioned he had been out on the deck the night before, grabbing logs for the fireplace. I searched the log pile and a box of sawdust and kindling. Using my pin-pointer, I got a signal at the bottom of the kindling box — and there it was, buried in the sawdust! He was genuinely surprised. He told me he had pretty much been going through the motions and didn’t expect it to be found. Seeing how happy he was to have his ring back made the search very worthwhile.
If you’ve lost a ring or other piece of jewelry in Western Wisconsin, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help.

Gold Ring Lost in Anahiem, CA. Backyard Grass Found by Stan the Metal Detector Man

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

Cloe needed he;p to find a lost ring in the backyard lawn, so she called me after finding me on a google seach. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136

*** Cloe called for my metal detecting service after she lost her gold ring in grass at a yard of where she was babysitting youngsters. She was very confident that the ring was in the backyard. The location was near the city of Anahiem, CA. which is30 or 40 minutes drive for me.

I met Cloe later that afternoon and she took me to the large backyard explaining that she had been playing kickball all over the lawn area. It would have been difficult to see a small gold ring visually as much of the grass was a brown/yellow color.

I grid searched the lawn area getting many metal signals which were too deep to check by finger searching the grass. This type search could take forever dropping to my knees to investigate every signal.  After swinging my detector over 3/4 of the lawn area, I got a strong surface signal and the ID numbers on my detector were close to gold numbers. As I stared into the dead brown/yellow grass I spotted Cole’s ring.

She was standing near so I called her over to see where it had been hiding. She was so happy and grateful to have her ring back where it belongs..

Hearing Aid Lost In Saco, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

« They cost thousands of dollars, look exactly like bark mulch, and completely disappear in thick bushes. When Patricia lost her brand-new hearing aid in her Saco, Maine Saco yard, she thought it was gone forever… »

On Thursday, June 11th, I received a call from Patricia. She was in her yard with Maddie, a good friend and my former neighbor of 28 years. I have also known Patricia through Maddie and see her fairly regularly. My wife, Cheryl, and I always see her while we are all out walking the neighborhood. Patricia lives just around the corner from me, maybe a quarter to a third of a mile away, in Saco, Maine.

Patricia told Maddie that she had lost one of her hearing aids the previous day while doing yard work. She had searched for it but just couldn’t find it on the lawn or in the hedges. Patricia now had Maddie assisting her, but they still couldn’t locate it. They were even raking the lawn and underneath the bushes, but the hearing aid remained elusive. Now that they were both hot, sweaty, and fatigued due to the humid weather, Maddie suggested that Patricia give me a call to search for it with my metal detector.

Once she called, Patricia asked me if a metal detector would even be able to find a hearing aid. I explained that it depended on the type of hearing aid and how much metal was in it. There is usually very little metal in the devices themselves, but I told her that I could check her remaining hearing aid to see if I could detect it. I knew if worst came to worst, I could use my Goldfield program. Once I arrived at Patricia’s, I could see her and Maddie still searching. Patricia had her remaining hearing aid in a small sandwich bag and placed it on the grassy lawn. As I checked it, my detector was barely picking up the target while using my All Terrain Low Conductor program with my smallest and most sensitive coil, the M8. The M8 is just an 8” elliptical coil, but it is very sensitive to small, low-conductive targets.

Once I changed the program to « Goldfield, » the hearing aid came in loud and clear. But, there are drawbacks to using this program. The Goldfield program worked because a small hearing aid contains microscopic electronic components and very thin wires that mimic the exact physical profile of a tiny gold flake or nugget. Standard metal detecting modes are tuned to find larger, highly conductive items like coins. They completely ignore tiny items with very low electrical conductivity. By contrast, the Goldfield mode forces the Manticore to use high-frequency, Multi-IQ technology and an open audio threshold. This makes the detector incredibly sensitive to minute, low-conductivity targets, allowing it to easily pick up the faint signal of the hearing aid’s internal circuitry where other programs would remain completely silent. Because Goldfield is designed for maximum sensitivity with minimal filtering, it is a very « noisy » and chatty program. If you try to use it in a park, backyard, or iron-infested old homesite, the sheer amount of trash, nails, and foil will completely overwhelm the audio. It requires a practiced ear to distinguish the smooth « zip-zip » rise of a gold target from the erratic chatter of ground noise or EMI (electromagnetic interference).

So, with the coil and program all picked out, it was time to search. Patricia told me that her hearing aid has Bluetooth GPS tracking. The hearing aid was not connecting to the Bluetooth once she moved away from the bushes and the lawn area around them. This meant the hearing aid would be in a very small area of maybe 20’ x 20’ at the most. We then tried my pinpointer on her remaining hearing aid, and the pinpointer picked it up with no problem. Even my smallest coil couldn’t penetrate the very thick bushes. After scanning the top and sides of the bushes, I came up empty.

I asked Patricia if she would like to use the pinpointer and probe the bushes with it while I searched the lawn. Patricia jumped at the opportunity. As I was searching the grass and Patricia was probing the bushes, Maddie was still visually searching. It was an all-hands-on-deck search. As I was finishing up the grass area where the Bluetooth would still connect, Patricia was on her hands and knees searching the bark mulch just below the bushes. I decided to start searching the bark mulch on the opposite end from Patricia. Once I caught up to where Patricia was searching, I went to the other side of the hedges and started searching. As I was working my way down the hedges, I heard Patricia excitedly scream out, “Dennis, I found it!” Patricia then picked the hearing aid up and showed both Maddie and myself, and the smiles and happy laughs broke out.

I was just so happy for Patricia. She has only had her hearing aids for 6 months, and if you have ever priced these things out, you know how expensive they can be. It’s just amazing how difficult it is to see them. It blended in with the bark mulch perfectly. It felt great to be able to help a friend and neighbor here in Saco. It doesn’t matter if the lost item is an engagement ring, a property marker, or a hearing aid—if it matters to you, it matters to us. We have the best job in the world. I love my job.

 

Lost Tungsten Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began as I was hunting the Aulani lagoon this morning, when a lady named Brenda, approached me and said, « My brother in law Ryan lost his gray Titanium ring right in this area. »  She was pointing in the area of the lagoon I had just gone through and found a gray Tungsten ring about ten minutes prior.  She asked if she could take a picture of the ring and send to him as he was off on an ABC store run.  Shortly there after she came back and said, « That’s the one! »  Often times people don’t remember the metal type of their rings.  A short time later Ryan and his lovely wife Linda arrived and the ring was a perfect fit.  Ryan told me he had been throwing a football when it came off but wasn’t exactly sure where it had fallen.  Vacation saved and back to San Francisco tomorrow with his ring on his finger.  Aloha to Ryan & Linda!

Metal detecting service finds lost cell phone in Lake Fairview, Orlando Florida!

Steven was enjoying a warm beautiful summer day on Lake Fairview fishing and videoing some of his catches when he bumped his tripod and it tipped over…dropping his Iphone into the lake. His phone had 8 years of important information and pictures and he quickly thought of setting a pin or waypoint…is what a fisherman does to mark a specific spot on the water. And that action was very useful later on that week when Steven called me and explained what had happened. I met Steven and we sped out to « the » spot on the lake that was in about 7 feet deep water and I first thought of using my large Magnetar magnet but after an hour I decided to do a scuba dive. For scuba dives I use a perforated pvc rectangular frame that I sink to the bottom and it allows me to detect the bottom of the lake thoroughly one section at a time and it sets on the top of the silty or grassy bottom and I can detect the outer diameter and then the inside and can cover a 15 foot square area at a time. And when visibility is very very limited I am quite confident that I am not missing targets. It took a good hour and 15 minutes to cover at least 4 sections and on the fifth section I got a screaming signal that proved to be Steven’s lost cell phone! What a relief and stress were lifted off of Steven’s heart and mind and before I left for home I asked Steven if I could pray with him and I thanked God for His goodness and for leading me to find Steven’s lost cell phone.
