Recovery Cost / Terms & Policy

LMS Metal Detecting has no control over any cost or fee associated with an independent detectorist within the Ring Finders network. Best practice would be to ask the person you have been connected with if they have a finder's fee/cost before they have agreed to look for your lost item.

There is a $200 fee if an employed LMS Metal Detecting Team Member is sent out to search for your lost item. You will be required to pay the full non-refundable amount before dispatch. You will also be required to meet with this person at the location with details about the lost item. The fee helps recover some of our expenses while trying to help you. Please understand there are no guarantees that your lost ring/item will be found. Sometimes, lost jewelry on the beach is found lying in the sand by other people shortly after the item was lost, and we can not find what is not there anymore. We'll do our best to locate the item, but in some cases, it can sometimes be found several days or even weeks later. If you are here on vacation and the lost item has been found after you have left town, we will ship the item UPS Ground, complete with tracking and insurance, at an additional shipping cost. LMS will also hold the item if you decide to return and pick it up at our main office in Murrells Inlet, SC.

Our team members would like to remind you that tips are welcome! 

LMS Metal Detecting reserves the right to refuse service to anyone hostile, aggressive, obnoxious, intoxicated, or poses a safety risk.

Other Randomly Found Lost Rings

We recommend joining our private Facebook group or the public lost & found Facebook group, where many lost rings are posted each year. We do not actively try to return randomly found rings. It would be a daunting task with the amount found. We typically post them on our social media platform, where the owner is responsible for checking in to see if their ring has been found.
