Eric contacted me concerning his lost wedding ring. He had been at the beach playing fetch with his dog, when switching hands, he threw the toy with his left hand, and his ring was gone, I was ready to get my equipment together and get to the beach to help him.

When I got there Eric saw me, and waved me over. We then walked over to the area of the loss. It was sizable because the dog had been very active. Also He had a detector of his own, but was unable to find the ring. I began my search one grid line at a time. When I had just about finished the second line, I got a very nice signal in the head phones, dug, and had Eric’s ring. He then told me how it was his grandfather’s ring handed down to him, so the sentimentality was off the charts. Also he had only been married for a month, and for that reason alone the ring had to be found. LOL! Eric was very happy to have the ring back, and I was happy to been able to help him.

Erin called with an air of desperation having lost her keys in the sand at the beach, they included car and house keys. I was ready and available, and let her know that I would leave immediately to help her.

When I got to the beach, Erin found me, and took me over to the spot where she believed them to have been lost. As a professional photographer she had been taking family photos for five different families that morning, and had been very busy, not noticing the loss. The area she showed me was pretty big, but going low and slow, and with a tight grid it would be no problem. I worked one way from the middle, pass after pass, making sure to cover every inch of sand. After about 8 passes, and almost outside of the shown area, I got a strong signal, dug, and had her keys. She wasn’t looking when I found them, and as I walked them over to her, she turned seeing them and was overcome by emotion. She told me that the last 2 weeks had been very tough for her, and losing the keys just seemed like it was breaking the camel’s back. Not to mention, she had another photo shoot lined up, and without the car key she would have made it. I am so glad I was able to make her day. Her smile says it all.

Ana called explaining that she had lost her ring while at the beach, and was not able to find it. I let her know that I would be able to help, and was available, so I packed up my gear, and was on my way.

When I got to the beach I found Ana quickly, and she showed me where she lost her ring. The area was not real large, but as I began, there seemed to be a lot of metal in the area, probably because it was right next to a beach entrance. It seemed as though I could not move 2 inches before I had to dig something, because I was getting many signals. The one thing I have learned in this service is that a person has to have patience and perseverance, so I kept at it digging and digging. I finally came upon Ana’s ring, and we were both very happy. Pretty ring, and happiness all around.

***Carolyn was with her friends on a small beach at Balboa Island. She had 4 rings that she had taken off, putting them on the edge of her towel. While she was away from her towel, one of her friends moved the towel, not knowing the rings were on the towel.

She was able to find two of the rings. The other two rings had disappeared. She was frustrated after a couple hours of searching. Then it was time to go to the internet for ideas to find rings in beach sand. My contact information was listed in the Newport Beach area.

After a short conversation, Carolyn gave me an address minutes away from my base. She waited for me and within 30 minutes I was able to find both rings. Another happy lady that was surprised that there is a metal detecting service available in Newport Beach. Google helps people in many ways.

Lost White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring In Leduc, Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:
         
Yesterday, I received a call from Tegan requesting my assistance in locating her lost engagement ring. She had lost the ring while brushing snow off her vehicle around 6:30 am. Although she felt the ring detach from her finger, she was unable to determine its direction of travel.

After conducting a preliminary assessment, I was confident that I would be successful in finding the ring. I agreed to travel to Leduc, where Tegan informed me that her fiancée was actively searching for the ring in the parking lot.

Upon my arrival, I encountered Chase, who was present in the parking lot. He had utilized snow melt to clear four parking stalls but had not yet located the ring. He had been searching for the past seven hours.

After thoroughly analyzing the area and employing my test ring, I concluded that the ring was not in the immediate vicinity. It was likely still on her vehicle or had fallen off during her departure from the parking lot.

I conducted a comprehensive search of the parking lot, extending from the exit of the parking lot to four parking stalls before Tegan’s stall. By this time Chase was convinced that the ring was gone for ever,

During the search I detected a distinct metallic tone from my metal detector, confirming the presence of the ring I pointed to the ground and told Chase this is Tegan’s ring . Chase was astounded by my discovery and expressed his disbelief that the ring had been found.
Thank you Tegan and Chase for entrusting me to find your losts engagement ring.

LOST 14k GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN RAEFORD, NC……FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a text saying this young lady had lost her engagement ring while throwing a ball for her dog. As soon as she threw it, she felt it fly off and heard a “DING” as it hit the metal fence. She wasn’t sure if it was in the yard or over the fence.

Her, her fiancé along with a friend spent all day looking for it and tried using a metal detector as they raked pine straw and putting them in bags.

I arrive, get the story and based on the details, I knew it had to be over the fence. I scanned the inside first, just to make sire, but quickly headed for the other side. After about 15-20 mins a get a good ring signal and there it was in the pine straw on the other side of the fence.

Now it is back where it belongs!!

Green Bay wedding ring recovered in snow

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

On Thanksgiving Eve, I received a message about a lost wedding ring in my neighborhood.    As luck would have it, Emilie was a classmate of our youngest son at Preble H.S., so she knew they could trust us.  After everyone was done with Thanksgiving festivities, I popped over to start the search.    There had been a light snowfall, and the ring popped up in the air when she took off her mitten and shook snow off of her hand.   We guessed it had flown off into the front yard.  After about 15 minutes of searching the yard, all I heard was five or six coin signals, and they were too deep to be the ring.  So, I started covering the opposite side of the sidewalk, toward the house and between juniper bushes.   It didn’t make sense that it would be there because she was shaking her left hand, and we reasoned that it could not have flown to toward the house, on her right side.  But, I heard a signal between the juniper bushes, and my bright headlamp showed some twinkling just underneath the snow.   I pin-pointed it with the Garrett “carrot,” and there it was: one of the most beautiful rings I’ve ever recovered!  There were smiles all around!  I was glad to make her Thanksgiving complete!  IMG_6770[1]

Another smile for the Ringfinder’s clients!

Double-Ring set recovered in Howard Park

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

In late October of 2025, I received a call from a widow who had lost her wedding and engagement ring set while playing with her grandson in s tiny city park.   It was somewhere in the wood chips.  The rings meant a lot to her because they had been picked out together, and he had passed just last year.    I taught Mary how to use my old Tesoro Cutlass while I used my Nokta Legend.  The Tesoro is analog, and quite easy to use.  We practiced on my wedding ring so she knew the sound it would make.  We were thinking the rings would be by the swings, because that’s where most hand movements occurred.   Nope!  After about 15 minutes of sweeping our coils, her’s sung out loud with a ring signal.  It was in the middle of an open spot.   I quickly pin-pointed it with my Garrott “carrot,” and it was back on her finger in seconds!  She didn’t just find the rings – all the memories came back with it.  It was a little sad that he couldn’t be here physically, to see it was found, but we could feel him watching over us.

 ***Colleen called me to see if I was available to help her find a Silver Claddagh ring .. She is in Laguna Beach, visiting from Colorado. This ring is very sentimental to her and it has been on her finger over 14 years.

Her question to me was, could I help her find the ring if she was unable to meet me on the beach. She was sure the ring was in the sand at Shaws Cove, Laguna Beach, CA. I told her that I could search the area and we had a good chance to find it, because the loss happened just a couple hours before she called.

I got to the small beach soon after we talked. The problem was, there were people still sitting where the ring was lost. Not really a big problem, I usually can out wait the people sitting on top of the ring. I hate to bother people on the beach. After a short period of time I saw the people packing up their belongings.

It didn’t take very long to find Colleen’s Claddagh ring. A few hours later I was able to meet Colleen, giving her the ring. She was flying back home on the morning.

I can help you , call or text anytime for information about how my service works.. Stan .. 949-500-2136

*** Chris contacted me after losing his gold ring in knee deep water near th St. in Newport Beach, CA. His beloved pet dog had recently passed away. They had spent many days walking on the beach together. He felt it appropriate to put his dog’s ashes in the ocean. While walking out his ring slipped off his finger into the surf. His friend was actually making a video of Chris walking out into the surf.I was able to get to location at the next low tide. The video helped me identify the approximate location because there were breakwater rocks in the background. Within 15 minutes I had Chris’s gold ring in my sand scoop. He met me later the next day at a resturant near his work place.

Timing is very important in most cases. Call as soon as possible. It may save your lost item from being lost forever.. I’m available to answer your questions 24/7 … Stan  .. 949-500-2136
