It was late in the day when Jaisal called. He had been surfing at the beach that day, and buried his keys after placing them in a plastic bag, so they would not be picked up off of his towel. What happened though was that when he left, he forgot to dig the keys out of the sand and was unable to find them after he went back. I let him know I would be there as soon as I could, and was on my way.

When I got there we found each other, it was dark now. Jaisal took me out to the area he believed he had been earlier (it is hard in the dark to remember exactly). He knew he had been close to the drop off, so I began to follow him as he went along the way he thought he might have been if it wasn’t where he showed me. After working with no signal, I had gone about 30 feet, and got a good signal. I dug, and immediately Jaisal saw the plastic bag, reached down, and had his keys in hand. He was happy because it was a rental car, and it was late in the night. Happy to get him back home.

Jim called, he had lost his ring in the yard, and after much time looking, he then went online and found the Ring Finders. We arranged a time for the search, and I went as soon as that time arrived.

When I got there Jim showed me the area. There was a walkway, and shrubs surrounding it. I asked how the loss occurred, and after him showing me I began the search. It was hard to use the detector because of the shrubs, but I was able to work under them with a little effort, It took about 10 minutes, and then I received a nice tone in the head phones, got the pin  pointer out, and narrowed down the search. There it was covered by some undergrowth. I picked it up and showed Jim. He was happy to have it back. Another winning day.

Mez called early in the morning. She had been at the beach the night before, lost her car key in the sand, and after much frantic looking, was unable to find it. She asked if I could help, and I let her know that I could be there in a short amount of time to do a search for her.

When I got to the beach we found each other quickly, and Mez explained what had happened. The problem was that at the time of the loss it was dark, and trying to recreate where a person was exactly is very hard to do. She showed me the area, and it was quite large for metal detecting because of the slow process. Also the County beach cleaning machine was working the area. Wisely she stopped the operator to let him know I was coming, so he dumped in the area to insure I could search what he had cleaned. I searched all of what she had shown me for about 1 1/2 hours, and the dump piles finding a lot of metal trash, but not the key. So I told her I would keep searching going up the beach further working my way towards the beach entry. She also was searching the sand above me as I was working by dragging her feet through the sand. I continued finding tin foil, bottle caps, and pull tabs, but no key. Mez was about 25 to 30 feet above me searching when she let out a shout, and held the key up for me to see. She was so happy to find it. Sometimes what we do in our process is eliminate an area allowing the person and ourselves to think and search outside of the box. Another win!

It was the Friday before Memorial Day that Andres contacted me. He told me that he had lost his wedding ring while throwing a football to his son in the water at the beach. It had been 5 days, and I let him know that the possibility of a recovery had diminished because of the time involved, but let him also know that there was always hope. We decided to do a search that day, and arranged to meet at the location.

When we got there Andres took me out to the location of the loss, and explained what had happened. I began my search, working in and out of the water, up and down the slope. The problem was that the tide was coming in and pushing me up the slope, and limiting the area I could search. I searched for a couple of hours, but was unable to find his ring. I explained this to him, but told him that I would return the next day as the tide was going down, to search again, which I could see pleased him.

I got back to the beach Saturday morning as the tide was lowering, but Andres was unable to be there. I began my search again working way down the slope and into the water, gradually working my way up again. After about two hours in, and many pieces of metal trash, I received another signal to dig, this time it was Andres ring. I was excited; six days later, and it was still there. I sent him a text with the good news and a picture of the ring, and he replied that when he saw it tears came to his eyes. He came to the beach to get his ring back and we talked. He said you don’t know what this means to me, and then he told me his story. Andres is a Marine who served during the Gulf War. He recently lost his mother, his son just had a life threatening head injury, and he himself just had a life threatening and possibly debilitating medical emergency, then to top it all off he loses his wedding ring of 17 years. He got to wondering if things were going to get any worse, then I recovered his ring, and hope returned. I felt so honored to be the one to reignite the fire of hope in his heart, and to capture that great smile of a Marine veteran right before the day honoring those who served before us.

I received a late night text from Karla hoping I could help her find her lost rings. I tried getting back to her, but it was too late in the night. The next morning she called, and explained that she had lost her rings a couple of days earlier at her home, and had scoured the house looking for them. She had also gone through much of the trash as well, but was unable to find them. She asked if I could come and detect her trash to see if by chance they ended up in there, so we made arrangements for the search.

I arrived at the appointed time, and Karla and her husband Bart were waiting. She took me to the back of the house where the trash cans were, and we talked about the possibilities of the loss. They have a young child, so there were two bags of used diapers to search; Karla thinking that while changing their child they might have come off, and got folded up in a diaper. I used my metal detector to go over the bags of diapers, and my pin pointer to check each diaper individually, no rings. Karla then brought out a couple of bags of trash that she believed were highly suspect, and I went through each and every item with my pin pointer finding much foil and other metal objects, but no rings. Bart then brought out 5 more bags, but wasn’t sure if they were even from the time frame of the loss. But I kept to my plan to search every item in each bag thoroughly to be certain if the rings were there or not. I went through 3 of the bags finding a lot of foil and such, but no rings. As happens a lot of times during a search like this, I will be continuing my search, but the person I am trying to help begins to lose hope, and wanders away, and both Karla and Bart went looking in other places; I just kept pounding away at the trash. Then while going through the 4th bag, my pin pointer sounded off on a napkin in a take out dish. I lifted the napkin, and two beautiful gold rings were there. I walked over to Bart, and showed him, and he said that he was losing hope, and was so surprised they were found. He called Karla, and I was able to give her rings back to her. To see their joy was a great reward.

Alex called late in the evening to let me know he had lost his white gold wedding ring, along with his car key in the water while getting out of the water after surfing. It looked like the tide would be right for a search that night so I asked him to let me know where to search, and let him know I would go then.

Alex had given me enough information to cover the area of the loss, and because he was only ankle deep when the items were lost, I had plenty of open sand to search. There were no targets at all, just silence in the head phones. I kept looking for about an hour, and then a strong signal. I dug, and there was the key, so I knew the ring should be close. I continued on, and then another strong signal, dug, and had the ring. I sent Alex a text showing the two items to let him know they were found. He agreed to meet me at the beach right away, and I delivered his wedding ring and key. He was very thankful.

Big Diamond Ring … Recovered from Sand at Southern California Beach by member of TheRingFinders

.. Britney believed that her very sentimental and very expensive 7 ct. diamond ring was lost at a Southern California beach. The loss happened three days before contacting me. She didn’t feel the ring fall off her finger, only realizing the missing ring while driving home.  Her insurance company recommended that she contact a member of TheRingFinders. When I replied to her text, she told me that she just a few minutes to talk before leaving to pick up her daughter from school.

It was late in the afternoon and I thought I might have to set up this search for the next morning. I did have time to find out Britney would not be able to meet me at the location. In my opinion, I believed I should make the hour drive attempting a preliminary search with the sketchy directions she gave me.  Part of the area is a play area that gets a lot of attention from hobby detectorists. The other possible location was a large section of main beach which is sometimes known as “no man’s land”, the area of sand between parking lot and the towel line.

I made the drive and was able to talk with Britney one more time after I arrived. She couldn’t add much to the directions given to me on our first phone call. I made sure to thoroughly grid search the play area first. Then proceeded to grid search half a football field zone that she had set up their beach blanket. 

There was 30-35mph winds blowing sand that evening as the sun beat an to set. It was looking like I might have to return the next morning. This area might be larger that Britney described, she said it was about 100 -150ft out. ( some people are good about judging distance?) I started in the middle going north. Then I came back to go south. The second 150 ft pass I got a great signal just where I was doing the turn around. Boom !! Big 7 ct. diamond in a white gold setting. Successfull recovery just before thinking this was going to be a two day search.. This was an awesome search because I had very few details to work with and three days had passed. Sometimes you just have to try.

Britney and her husband met me near where I live to pick up their very sentimental ring. Ending several days of frustration and sleepless nights upset with herself and believing the ring was lost forever.

If you need help finding your sentimental keepsake .. Call or Text  Stan the Metal Detector Man.., 949-500-2136 .. Available Now to help you , I WILL TRY ANYWHERE

I got a text from Scarlett telling me that she had been out the night before at the beach, and lost her phone in the sand. After getting back to her car she realized the phone was missing, and she and her friend went immediately back to look in the darkness, but it was gone. Knowing that beach is cleaned daily by county machines, I had to ask if she had a find my phone app, which she did, and it was showing that it was still there. So we made arrangements to get there as soon as possible to ensure we were able to find it before someone else did.

We met up as soon as I got to the beach. Scarlett had sent me a screen shot of the phone on the beach, a two dimensional picture her app was showing, so I needed her to pinpoint where they had been that night. She gave boundaries to ensure I covered all the possibilities. I searched for a little over an hour covering the whole area, finding a lot of trash metal, but no phone. It was then I asked her to show me on her tablet the screen again, the phone was still showing. Then I asked if she could get a satellite image with the same information. It took a few minutes, and then she was able to get the satellite image. It was then we could see that it was at the lifeguard tower. She then went over and asked the lifeguard, and yes, he had it. Someone had found it and turned it in. Sometimes searches take unique twists, and this was one of them. She was very happy to have her phone back.

Blake contacted me about a couple of rings lost the day before at the beach, but there was only one that they were concerned about. It was a silver ring that he had personally made for his girlfriend on a trip to Bali. He had personalized it with engravings as well. They had been out the day before at the dog beach throwing dog toys for the pooches, and when they were ready to leave his girlfriend Nadia realized her rings were gone. I let them know that the difference of a day could decrease the chance of a recovery, but we decided it was worth a try, so I let them know I would leave soon to meet them for the search.

When I arrived at the beach they met me, and took me out to the area they had been, and showed me the path they had taken. It was about a football field long but fortunately a walking path wide. We walked the path finding a few dimes, pennies, bottle caps, and pull tabs. I made sure to dig everything to ensure I did not miss anything, but no rings. We got to end, and they decided we had been very thorough with no luck. We were going to walk back to where they had washed off their feet when after turning towards the parking lot I took two steps, and got a signal in my head phones of a high tone, dug, and there was a nice hammered silver band. Blake and Nadia had their backs to me when I pulled the ring out of the scoop, so I held it up and waited for them to turn around. Blake turned first and looked questioningly, and began to walk forward to see what I was trying to show him. When he finally realized what it was he came and gave me a big hug followed by one from Nadia, it was the ring they were concerned about, the one Blake had made for Nadia. I searched around for the other ring with no success. It was great to be able to be able to find such a meaningful token of their love.

Jack called asking if I could help with the search of his lost wedding ring. I asked how the loss happened, and he explained that he had been gardening, and when he finished his ring was missing. We arranged a time for me to come to his place, and I was on my way.

When I got to the yard Jack showed me where he had been weeding and planting. I set up for the search, but there was a lot of metal all around the search area, so after trying with the detector, I had to resort to my pin pointer with lowered sensitivity. I slowly went around everything there, and was unable to find his ring. We then decided to pull the plants he had planted, and dig out the holes putting the dirt into piles away from the metal. On the second hole there was a clod of dirt that sounded off when the pin pointer got close. I reached over, broke the clod up, and there was his ring. I held it up to show Jack, and then there was the smile, he just couldn’t believe it, but was so happy to see it again.
