Metal Detecting Newport Beach, CA. Reliable Prompt Service .. Call or text Stan the Metal Detector Man … 24/7  as soon as possible … 949-500-2136


*** Allen and his friends were enjoying a day at Crystal Cove State Beach, Newport Beach, CA. He called me after they returned home requesting metal detecting help to find a ring that his wife had trusted him to hold. Allen told me that he was sure the ring had fallen out of his backpack when he bent down to pick up items as they were leaving.

The beach closes at sundown and we both raced to get into gates before they closed. I didn’t spend much time on the phone to get anymore details.

We both were able to get inside to the parking area 5 minutes before they quit allowing entry. Allen walked me to where he believed the ring had slipped out of his backpack. Boom !! I found the missing ring in a 10x10ft. area. He was ecstatic, because he wasn’t sure a metal detector could find a small ring. Also, he had felt guilty for not securing the ring in a safe place..

Now for the rest of the story. As I was taking photos of the first ring, Allen told me his wife had lost another ring that same day, that was why she ask him to hold the remaining ring. They believed the first ring was probably in the surf. I suggested that I take a few minutes to scan the area before leaving. 15 minutes later I found the first ring near where his wife had been playing volleyball.

Allen had already called his wife about finding the backpack lost ring. He decided to wait till he returned home to surprise her with both her precious rings.

I am available to help you now.. Don’t wait, I can answer any questions you have .. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE”

Another return at Siesta Key

  • from Sarasota (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Love making those returns! Received a call Friday night for a lost men’s wedding band at Siesta Key just an hour before. Lucky for him we were coming into low tide, lost in knee deep water. After searching for around 15 minutes I found the ring. I’m always glad when they call right away, giving us detectorists a better chance to find it.

North Tonawanda Garden Spring Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Karen reached out after losing her ring in the backyard while starting some spring cleanup. One minute it was on her finger, the next it was gone. No gloves and no clear idea where it slipped off, just the feeling it might be gone for good.

This was not just any ring. It represents 45 years of marriage. You could hear how much it meant.

We began searching the yard slowly, working through signals and covering the area piece by piece. Plenty of noise along the way, but about 30 minutes in, a clean solid tone came through. The kind that makes you stop.

And there it was.

Ring recovered and back where it belongs.
What an amazing Sunday morning.

Engagement Ring Lost in Tall Grass in Antioch…Found!!!

Bay Area Ring Finders: Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

As we all know, there are multiple ways a ring can go missing; none of them feel good. Gabriela reached out to me with just such an issue.

On Monday, I received her text message and a few short hours later we found ourselves wading waist deep in tall grass on a hillside behind her home.  The ring went lost the previous day and a search ensued.  The ring was not found and the situation felt futile, but for an experienced detectorist with a “can do” attitude and the right equipment, we made the recovery!  It didn’t take long to locate the ring with the information Gabriela was able to provide, and a bummer situation was turned into a joyous moment of triumph.

Thank you Gabriela for allowing me to help you with the situation and trusting in me to get the job done.  I wish you all the best in your life’s journey and I hope you will tell the tale of that ring far and wide.

Also, for the geeks like me…this ring was found on an Equinox 800 with an 8-9 VDI.

Lost Ring Playing Football at Huntington City Beach, CA. Found by Stan the Metal Detector Man

Stan the Metal Detector Man … Metal Detecting Service for for Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and all othe Orange County Beaches, Parks, Yards and any areas a Metal detector can be used.. Cal or text ASAP ..  949-500-2136


***Jose was at work when he found my contact information. He had been searching the internet for a metal detector because he had lost a large silver ring. His loss happened a couple days before while playing football at Huntington City Beach.

He was unable to meet me at the location but it wasn’t necessary because he gave me very good landmarks and I’m very familiar with this beach. He was sure his ring was on before starting to play  football and it was missing after he stopped playing. The challenge was the area was larger than half of a normal football field. ( grid search a soccer field 6 could be hours fortnight find ).

Huntington Beach is groomed nightly with beach sifting machines. I thought we might have a chance because this area was what we call no-man’s land. ( Center area of the beach between board walk and towel line ).. After 3 hours of grid searching Jose’s silver ring showed up in my scoop.. I met him after he got off work to return his ring.

Lost Ring Branchburg, NJ… Found!!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
Not every ring is lost by accident… sometimes, it’s the result of a moment of frustration. 😬💍
After a heated argument, one ring took an unexpected flight. Tossed over a fence and landing somewhere deep inside a group of forsythia bushes. What looked like a simple shrub from the outside turned out to be a full-on thicket, tangled, overgrown, and not exactly welcoming. 🌿
Enter Greenwood Detecting.
Kati arrived on scene and got to work, quite literally diving into the brush. She carefully worked her way through what can only be described as a wiry, unforgiving tangle of branches with her pinpointer(the detector wouldn’t fit), while also doing her best to dodge patches of poison ivy along the way. 😅🌱
To help narrow things down, the husband tossed a small rock over the fence, recreating the throw as best as possible. That gave her a key reference point and helped lock in the most likely search zone. 🎯
About an hour into a challenging and very hands-on search… success. The pinpointer hit the right tone, and the ring was recovered deep within the thicket, right where it had been hiding all along. 💍✨
Fights happen. Rings get thrown. It’s WAY more common than you’d think.
That’s why Greenwood Detecting is here, to help bring them back.
Another tough recovery.
Another story with a happy ending. 🙌

Lost Ring Glen Ridge, NJ… Found!!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)

Sometimes, it’s not the big spaces that hide a ring… it’s the small, leafy ones right in front of you. 🌿💍
We were recently called out to a front yard where a ring had gone missing during a simple household task. While cleaning lint off a pillowcase outside, a quick brush of the hand sent the ring flying, landing straight into a patch of dense green vegetation.
The homeowner did everything right. She carefully combed through the leaves, checked the area multiple times, and even went the extra mile by borrowing a metal detector from the local library. Despite all that effort, the ring just wouldn’t reveal itself. 😬
That’s when Greenwood Detecting stepped in.
After assessing the area, we began a focused search, working slowly through the vegetation and isolating signals. Within about 20 minutes… we hit the right tone. 🎯
A quick recovery later, and the ring was back where it belongs… right on her finger and accompanied by a very relieved smile 😊💍
Another reminder that even the smallest patches of greenery can hide big treasures 🌿✨

Lost ring New Brunswick, NJ… Found!!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)

Snowstorms have a funny way of turning everyday routines into unexpected adventures. ❄️🚗
One local resident was simply brushing snow off his car after the storm, nothing out of the ordinary. But with a few quick swipes, he unknowingly sent his wedding ring flying along with the snow… landing somewhere in a small patch of grass along the edge of his apartment building parking lot. 💍😬
After realizing what happened, he gave Greenwood Detecting a call.
We arrived, assessed the area, and got to work. With a focused search and a bit of experience reading the signals, we began scanning the grassy edge where the snow had been tossed. Within just a few minutes… we got the tone we were hoping for. 🎯
And just like that, the ring was recovered, safe and sound, and returned to one very relieved (and very smiling) owner. 😊
Pro tip: Cold weather can cause your fingers to shrink, making rings looser and much easier to lose… especially when handling snow. Wearing gloves can make all the difference. 🧤❄️
Another quick recovery
Another great outcome
Another reminder… snow can be sneakier than it looks 😉❄️

Lost ring Glen Ridge NJ…. Found!!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
After the snow settled, this husband and wife decided to enjoy a peaceful walk outside… but what started as a quiet stroll quickly turned into an epic snowball fight. ❄️
Somewhere between the laughter, dodging, and a perfect snowball packing technique… a ring went missing. It wasn’t until they got back home that the husband realized his wedding band had slipped off while making snowballs and was now somewhere buried beneath fresh snow.
Cue the panic.
Enter Kati from Greenwood Detecting.
With a focused search around the “battle zone,” careful grid work, and a bit of patience, the ring was located, right where the snowballs were packed. Hidden beneath the snow, but not gone for good.
Another ring recovered. Another story with a happy ending.
Another marriage saved. 💍

Lost ring West Orange, NJ… Found!!!

Not every recovery happens in a park or on a beach… sometimes, it takes us straight to the curb. 🗑️💍
We recently got a call about a missing wedding ring that was accidentally tossed out with the trash. By the time we arrived, we were met with a full lineup of garbage and recycling bags stacked, sealed, and ready for pickup. Let’s just say… there were quite a few potential “targets” to work through. 😅
With a methodical approach (and a bit of optimism), we started scanning and working bag by bag. Fortunately, luck was on our side. The ring turned up in about the 5th or 6th bag. 🎯
And here’s where Mother Nature gave us an unexpected assist: New Jersey was in the middle of a polar vortex ❄️ The freezing temperatures kept everything, well… nicely preserved. No odors, no mess, about as ideal as a garbage recovery can get!
Another ring safely back where it belongs 💍
Another relieved client 🙌
Another reminder to always double-check before tossing things out! 😉
