Metal detector rental finds lost engagement ring in Lake Weir, Ocklawaha Florida!

Lost a ring or something special and need someone who specializes in using a metal detector to help? My name is Mike McInroe and I am a metal detector recovery specialist and can help you find what you thought was lost forever. Call or text me ASAP at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk.

Dillan and his fiancee were enjoying a swim in Lake Weir along with some friends when all of a sudden he hears his fiancee yell out that her engagement ring just came off of her finger and fell into the water. They were swimming in four or five feet deep water and they tried going under and running their fingers through the sand but after an hour or so they gave up and decided to find someone with a metal detector who could help. Online they came across theringfinders.com web site and my number and gave me a call. The next day I met Dillan and his fiancee and thankfully they were able to show me…almost to the exact spot…where the ring was dropped. They even took a picture with someone standing in the water right where it happened. Which of course made my job a whole lot easier. Whenever I do a wading water search I use pvc poles and set them in a square around the target area and then do a grid search back and forth moving 2 separate markers to keep track of where I am going and where I have been. After 20 minutes I got a perfect white gold ring signal and after one scoop with my Extreme scoop I shook the sand out and there in the bottom was Dillan’s fiancees lost engagement ring! This special ring was an heirloom ring that was passed down to Dillan’s fiancee and they were super happy to have it back. I gave them one of my silicone ring adjusters to add to the back of the ring and then reminded them to leave their jewelry in the car next time they go for a swim…and they agreed whole heartedly!

Yami called me to ask if there was any way to find a lost wallet in the dirt. I asked a few questions about the wallet and she informed me that it was her husbands and it contained some very important documents, credit cards, money and 2 other very essential elements that would help make finding it a lot easier. It contained a money clip and an Air Tag. I met Yami and her husband the next morning at the construction site and I began a systematic grid search over the areas where he thought were most likely. There were a lot of metal pieces strewn throughout the dirt and and after 40 minutes I got a promising signal in the 50s and I kicked the dirt back and there lay the young man’s lost wallet…very dirty but intact! You should have seen the ecstatic couple as they came running at me with huge smiles and arms wide for big hugs all around!

Antique Earring Lost and Found on Santa Cruz Beach

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)
Contact:

Last week I searched but was unfortunately unable to help a couple find their lost engagement ring at Santa Cruz Main Beach, but the very next day a bystander who saw me looking for the ring and actually spoke with me during the search lost her beautiful antique silver earring on Cowell’s Beach.  The earring was part of a set including a necklace and had sentimental value as well.  We talked through the details and due to the tides and tourist traffic agreed to meet on a Friday at 6:00 am on the beach where she suspected her earring was lost.

When we met she described the location that she sat in with her family and another location where she walked from, suspecting that the highest probability location was where she walked from and next where she sat on the beach next.  We went to the highest probability location and within about 10 minutes I had a lone signal in the range that I suspected.  I dug and sure enough found her earring only about 5 feet from where she suspected it was lost.

It’s great to have enough community recognition of the jewelry finding process that we can help people who are informed about how a search is done and what is needed to assist quickly and effectively.

Edward Trapper Ring finder returning lost rings in Seaside ParkEdward Trapper NJ Ring Finder returns lost ring at the beach

I received a call from Lisa asking if I would be able to help locate a ring she had lost earlier in the day while enjoying a beautiful afternoon in Seaside Park, New Jersey.

Lisa explained that while applying lotion, she had removed her ring and placed it in the cupholder of her beach chair. It wasn’t until later—after they had already driven home—that she realized the ring was missing. She and her group immediately began searching everywhere, and even made the drive back to Seaside Park in hopes of finding it. They tried using a metal detector, but unfortunately had no luck.

After hearing her story, I assured Lisa that if the ring was still in the area she described, I was confident I could recover it. I arrived shortly after and began searching the area after removing the chairs and belongings from the spot.

Within just a few minutes, I had Lisa’s beautiful ring in my scoop and back on her finger. Her relief and excitement said it all!

** Susan lost a very sentimental pendant in the sand at Newport Beach, CA. She had been running to catch a ball near where her friends had set up their beach towels and umbrella for a fun day at the beach, when her necklace broke.

Someone on the beach saw everybody searching the sand and told them that they  could find a metal detecting service online.They didn’t know such a thing existed.

I was contacted and arrived at Newport Beach soon after talking with her.. A half hour into the search I located her special dime size pendant.. It was a happy ending to a day that was looking like she was never going to see her pendant again..

Contact:

Kaelyn was at the pool with her son when she realized her ring was gone! She had purchased her silver ring when she was 16 years old while she was in 10th grade. The sentimental value was much higher than its monetary value.
We met to search and after a short description of where she had been on the beach, I began my search. My first signal turned out to be the ring! Kaelyn was extremely excited and happy that I had found it.Another success for the Ringfinders!

Lost ring while swimming. Found!!!

  • from Johnson City (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a gentleman who was on a family outing swimming with his daughter. They slid down the rock at the falls and the ring came off when they hit the water. He tried several times to dive down and find it, but the cold mountain water and rapids made it too hard.  It stayed there for ten days until he found me. He called and I was able to head up to where the ring was lost. After gearing up and getting in the water I found the ring exactly where he said it would be already buried deep in the sand. So glad to get this one back to its rightful owner.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Jim reached out to me after finding me in the Ring Finders directory. He was saddened and upset to notice his 37 year old wedding band had disappeared off his finger…when, where and how it disappeared was a mystery to him. The only thing he could think of was that it fell off while he was doing some yard work (taking his gloves on and off) in his backyard in Wilmington, DE several days earlier. He figured it was long shot and had little confidence it would be found but decided to give a professional a shot. He also spent several hours searching himself on his hands and knees. I arrived at his home that Sunday afternoon…as I always do…I demonstrated with my metal detector and my own wedding band what a gold band would sound like if I went over it. I want my clients to know that if they put me over the missing ring…I wont miss it! Jim showed me the area he was working…it was part backyard lawn and part woods…not a large search area. I was 10 minutes into the search and had covered 90% of the yard when…BOOM…there was the signal I was hoping for in the deep grass. I looked down and I could see the ring in the deep grass…I asked Jim who was standing nearby…if I could ask him another question…when he came over I pointed down and asked “is that your ring?” The relief and joy on his face was priceless!!!

Find a ring in Mamaroneck! – Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!

Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797

This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.

She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.

Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.

A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.

When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.

As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”

I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.

“I GOT IT!”

Yeah… I yelled.

Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.

I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.

Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…

“I found it!”

Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.

So today somehow turned into two happy endings. 😉

Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. 😂

One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.

You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.

WEDDING BAND LOST on EMERALD ISLE BEACH, FOUND JUST in TIME

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:


Walker and Lindsey were packing up their beach gear after a weekend getaway when they realized Walker had taken off his ring to swim in the ocean. Walker called me, and I was able to head his way right after we spoke. They agreed to stay a bit longer to help search the right area of the beach. Within seconds of scanning, my detector gave a loud signal. “I think this is it,” I said, as I pulled Walker’s gold wedding band from the dry.
I hope the delay was worth the result.
Safe travels home!
