Linsey called me and said they had held a wedding venue in their yard for their daughter and son-in-law. Her yard was quite large and her son-in-law had lost his ring right after the wedding. She had purchased a metal detector but struck out. Because of the size of the yard I set up a grid search and it took me all of two hours before I found it. Her daughter and son-in-law were out of town at the time.
Received a text/call last night from a gentleman that proceeded to tell me his wife lost a custom engagement ring while they were swimming yesterday.
He said she lost it in waist deep water. They had gotten to the spot by boat, but I found a half mile trail, there and back, I could take without needing to launch my boat.
I get to the site and got set up, walked into the water and got a solid hit on my first target! Two scoops later and it was in the basket!!!
I texted him and we met up to give it back to him!

Received a text last night asking for help to find an engagement ring lost in their backyard. We planned on me being there at 9:30 am.
Story goes, they were laying on blanket in the backyard when she had put ring on her pinky, stood up and it slipped off into the thick grass. They searched and searched, bought a pinpointer and even ordered a metal detector as well.
He found me online and asked if I could help.
I made the hour and half drive, get the location, turn on and set up my machine, take a step and boom there it was!
Love helping people find the little priceless things they lost and put them back in their life!

While applying sunscreen, Tindra noticed that the clasp on her necklace had come undone, causing her charms to fall into the soft sand below. Tindra managed to locate one of the before my arrival. Since she knew the general area to search, the recovery of the final charm was swift, and Tindra expressed great gratitude.
Tindra explained: « The charms are family heirlooms from my family in Sweden. They’re gifted to babies when they’re born and one of my charms is over 100 years old. The « T » that I lost was from my Grandpa and gifted to me when I was a baby »
Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.
As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.
I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.
So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.
After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”
I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol
We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”
The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!
This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!

If you just lost an any type of jewelry in the South Florida area, whether it’s on the beach, in the water, or backyard, give me a call/text Louis 608-1870. I have a metal detecting service and can come out and find your lost item. In the pictures below it shows a night time recovery of a very sentimental necklace and Star of David medallion that was lost in the ocean in Miami Beach. It was passed down from his grandfather who was a Holocaust survivor. I can usually recover lost items pretty quick but the surf was rough and the search area was pretty big. Right when night time was settling in I got a tone on my detector and up came his necklace. He was so grateful. If this happens to you, don’t wait, give me a call.
We got a call on Easter Sunday afternoon from a very upset gentleman. He was at a family gathering for Easter and a water balloon fight broke out. Rewind a moment …to earlier that day the Grandma of the family had passed along to her 14yr old Granddaughter a Gold & Diamond Ring she had been wearing for over 60 years, she told her Granddaughter to keep it safe and to pass it down to her children one day. Then, a little later, the water balloon fight broke out with all the family members. Lots of laughter, everyone was soaked, everyone so happy and then the granddaughter SCREEMED « my ring is gone! ». Everyone dropped to their knees and began searching. The father jumped on the Internet looking for a solution and found « The Ring Finders » website. He gave me a call and it just so happened we lived on 11 miles away. So Ellen & I jumped into the truck and drove over. When we arrived 3 family members were still searching the yard. Ellen & I began our search over lapping each pass. We checked the field beyond the house and got permission to go over to the neighbors on both sides in case it flew over the fence. We even used our camera system to check the gutters on the home to no avail.
We decided to make one more pass over the backyard area where the granddaughter had spend most her time. And on my next to last row/pass, I got a signal that should not have been her ring but then I saw it…
Easter Celebration was saved.. smilies and hugs and tears thanks to the Ring Finders…. It was a Easter to remember.
