Lost – Men’s Silver Tungsten Diamond Wedding Band, Ormond Beach, Fl – FOUND!!!

Josh and Brittany were staying in Lotus Boutique Inn and Suites in Ormond Beach, Florida.  Josh threw a football and immediately felt his ring fly off.  They searched and searched in and around the pool with no luck.  They thought the ring may have flown out into the powder dry sand on the beach just outside the pool, so they contacted Wes Wade who is President of the local Daytona Dig and Find Metal Detecting Club.  Wes posted it online on July 15th.

I had just finished detecting in North Daytona and thought, “I haven’t heard of anyone finding that ring at Lotus and it was only about 3 miles north, so I thought I’d go check it out.

I located the venue and began a large sweep about 5 foot wide near the seawall.  Nothing!  I saw marks where it appeared someone had gridded it off.  I decided to do another sweep of about 6 feet wide.  Nothing but some trash items.  I finally decide to do another sweep of about 6 feet.

In the middle, near the steps I got a good hit.  But it was a 60 and sounded like a penny.  I dug it and it was an older copper penny.  When I went to cover the hole, something caught my eye.  It was the diamonds of the ring that I was looking for on the outer edge of the hole.

I contacted Wes, who gave me the information and arranged for Josh to pick up his ring.  Tears and happiness were evident when I called them…they picked it up a few days later.

Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Band w/diamonds, PALM COAST, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Tom had been in his backyard and lost his gold wedding band.  He thought he knew the exact area or at least within 6 or 8 feet.  It is about a 45-minute drive from my home.  Since it was so late in the day, and it was safe in his backyard, we decided that I would drive up the next morning.

On the drive up on Saturday, I talked with God about the ring and what it meant to Tom and his wife.  Tom told me he had the ring for 35 years and didn’t really want to lose it now.  I asked for His help.

I arrived at Tom’s home, and he took me to the back.  The thick Saint Augustine grass was beautiful.  I fired up the Minelab Manticore and got a hit immediately…it was a sprinkler head.

My second target was better.  Digging around with my fingers revealed nothing.  I got out my Minelab Pro-find (which is something like the wands they use in airports) and got a hit.  I saw the gold and diamonds shining nearly six inches below tangled in the roots of the grass!  Beautiful!  Tom and his ring were reunited.

Lost – White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring – Ponce Inlet, FL – FOUND!!!

On Father’s Day, my wife Myrna and I were planning to go to her cousin’s home, in DeLand, for a family dinner.  She was getting ready, while I was tending to my pulled calf muscle; injured not-so gracefully entering the pool in a typical, “this is how we use to do cannon balls,” splash.

Just then, I got a text from Abbey.  She said that she was at Ponce Inlet, (just south of Daytona Beach) and had lost her diamond engagement ring in the sand.  I knew that this recovery could be challenging if I had to walk much, but I was determined.

When I got to the beach, I met Abbey and her husband Tyler, and their baby boy Banks.  They had sectioned off a large square of sand where they had found the wedding ring but not the engagement ring.  I could also see lots of hand, finger and scraping marks from their search.  I assured them that if the ring was there, I would find it.

I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began the search.  I got a faint hit outside of the area but continued to the large square and began scanning.  No targets.  I asked them if it could be anywhere else or in the water and they replied, no.  I went back to the initial hit.  It was stronger.  As I dug through the sand, deeper than expected, the sunlight hit the diamonds of the gorgeous ring.

Happy Father’s Day Tyler!!  Hugs all around!  Tyler, Abbey and even the guy in the vehicle south of them came over and gave me a hug!  God is good!

Lost – Men’s Gold Cartier wedding band – Daytona Beach, FL – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Mother’s Day was a perfect day and my wife, Myrna, and I topped it off with a bike ride to our community pool.  When we returned, I was putting away the bikes when I got the call from Yanaia.  She said that they were at the beach and lost a ring.  I could sense the distress in the tone of her voice.  I hopped into the car and headed her way.

When I arrived, the beach was packed, and Yan was waving me down.  I found out that her husband, Eddy, was the one who lost the ring…a heavy gold Cartier wedding band.  I thought to myself, “this should be easy!”

Eddy was standing in the middle of a tidal pool that was roughly 20ft in diameter.  He was holding a metal stick to mark where he thought he lost the ring, and his expression was very worried.

I fired up the Manticore and began the search.  I swepted over the middle spot of the tidal pool where it was obvious, they had been digging.  Nothing.  I expanded the search in a spiral outward until I had covered the entire tidal pool.  Nothing but a penny, a trash item, and a very small screw.

I began to grid off around the water and toward the beach, going into the surf somewhat.  I stopped and prayed.  This search should not be this difficult!  As I expanded toward the driving lanes, I got a great hit and suspected success.  I heard the tell-tale jangle in the scoop and saw gold!

As I handed the ring to Eddy, his expression changed in an instant from desperation to exuberance.  I was the recipient of hugs from Yanaia and Ariana.  Cheers from Jose, Joshua, and people all around!  The item that was lost was found.

Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – DeLand Florida – FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

On Tuesday, April 16th I got text from Samantha.  She said that her husband Ian, had lost his men’s gold wedding band a few months ago.  She continued, that he had been working in the yard and it flew off his finger while he was weeding.

Although it took a little over a week before we had a time when we all could meet, I knew it would still be there.  Rings you lose in your back yard stay there, as a rule.

I arrived and Ian and Samantha led me to the area where the ring had been lost.  I fired up the Minelab Manticore and began a cursive sweep of the area.  I got a great hit right where they said the ring had been lost.  I ignored that hit and covered the rest of the area just to see if there were others.  There were not.

I fired up my pinpointer and put it on the spot the detector had indicated.  As I pushed the pinpointer under a clump of grass, I saw the gold ring reveal itself.  My prayer was answered.    I held the ring up and Ian said, “You found it!”

Happy family!  The ring that had been lost for a few months was back on the hand of the owner!

Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Ring, Daytona Beach Shores, Florida – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Wednesday evening, I got a call from a fellow ringfinder.  He asked if I could handle a call for him.  I said, of course!  I called Charles and asked him where and when he lost it and set a time for us to meet before low tide the next day.  I brought my friend Brian who is just getting into metal detecting.

Charles took us down to the beach and showed us the section of beach where he had lost the ring, but the tide was still high, and the wave action was much greater than we expected.  Nevertheless, Brian and I started grid searching the area.  I started about waist-high in the water.  Brian started from the high tide line.

I had an obligation that I had to attend to, so I left the search area for a while.  About an hour after that Brian had exhausted the search area.  He decided to go back over some of the high tide out of the water area.  His first target was iron.  Next a solid hit on his Deus II.  It was the ring.  Great work Brian!

There was dancing on the beach as the happy couple recovered their precious ring.

Lost Ring Ormond Beach FL – Ladies custom made, Tacori Diamond Wedding Set – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Late Friday evening, I got a text from Michelle.  She explained that she was visiting the Daytona area and was enjoying the beach when she put a wedding set and a third ring in a side pocket of beach chair.  When she went to pack up, they forgot the rings.  They went back to the beach to search for the rings but could not find them.

Since it was almost 10pm, I asked Michelle if I should come down now.  Instead, we decided to meet first thing on Saturday.

I met Michelle and Tyson, her husband of 17 years, at the Ormond beach access.  We covered about a quarter mile to the scene of the loss in the dark about an hour before sunrise.

They showed me the area that their chair had been set up and the path they used leaving the beach.  I fired up the XP Deus machine and got a great hit on the slope going down to the water.  It was the wedding band!

We knew we were in the right place and continued to search.  Tyson had a detector and searched also.  Not long after the first hit Tyson had one that he wanted me to check out.  This time it was above the slope on the dune.  It was the engagement ring… A handcrafted, Tacori ring with a beautiful princess diamond, flanked by triangular cut blue sapphires.  Michelle was thrilled!

The third ring was lost to the waves or traveled further, but they had the most important of the three rings back.  Happy couple!!
