The Ring Finders service rescued another Precious wedding ring from the mouth of the sea using a waterproof metal detector in San diego, California. CALL 760 889 2751 Curtis Cox

This search & recovery I put high priority not only knowing that it was lost in the hungry Surfline~Ocean but especially with the wave of newbie Pirates learning how to metal detect these days…This could of been forever gone so timing was urgent!

  After communicating with Diana via Email who was on her way back home to Austria. I gave it my all that same night for an hour yet could not find it due to the rising high tide,Angry surf and me between the cliff that was already dangerously bashing against upon arrival so I called it quits.

Early next morning I searched from 5-7:00am scanning every inch of the beach during low tide to no avail. Later in the afternoon through emails I had to update Diana with the unfortunate outcomes. Then I realized she was further North of where I’ve been searching…Which is GREAT news for me ;).  Immediately I bolted back there that evening and swiftly located her precious wedding ring buried nearly 10” deep along the shoreline using my trusty 13 year old metal detector!  I was thrilled afterwards with excitement to get home and let her know her ring is now safe.

  (Below is a testimonial Diana wrote;)

I am deeply impressed with the work you’re doing for silly people who take their most valuable jewelry to the beach. I was in Carlsbad for a work conference and in a break decided to go for a swim at the beach. Luckily I didn’t go too deep in the water as the waves were quite strong but it was enough for loosing my wedding ring. I didn’t notice it until it was time to go back. Searched the sand area like crazy and eventually gave up. 

Next day I went back to the beach to look for it again and a group of people told me about Curtis and his successful ring finding experience. After a couple of emails exchanging details and 2 days later I got the best news that Curtis found it. I got the news a few hours before meeting my husband so luckily I had better news for him. 

We are both very happy that we got the ring back as in our culture this is quite important. 

 

San Diego Ring Finder rescues a Lost wedding ring consumed by the Sea with metal detector equipment!

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

 


The California Ring Finders Metal Detector service saved another wedding band from being consumed by the hungry Pacific Ocean!

Recently I received a text Saturday afternoon from Matt saying I was recommended to help find a wedding ring lost in the shallow 2’ water at a local SoCal beach 3 hours prior. Only issue was (Timing) as the tide has risen significantly since rendering an immediate search for this precious ring until a lower tide a few hours later.

As planned we met there that evening just as the sun set along with falling tides. Matt explained to me what happened when it was lost. He simply reached his hand down in beach sand at the surf line, Then looked at his hand after to discover his ring was gone!

We walked to the approximate area to begin a thorough grid search chasing the tide out to the surf in waist deep intervals. After nearly completing the search area the only possible target was a deep low tone that sank out of range of the Minelab Equinox 800 when I was trying to retrieve it in the lapping surf with rough current. I had to run back to my vehicle and switch to a Pulse detector to retrieve it. Turned out be a flat lead piece of trash! 

I turned my metal detector off, Walked over to Matt while waiting above on the beach for about an hour to suggest taking a break for the tide to fall further/Kill time.

Unfortunately during our break we found out the parking lot closes at 10:00pm and could receive citations soon. Matt with his son agreed to wait however we needed to pace back there quickly to double check a landmark from a photo taken matched the search areas proximity.

Round 2, I began cross gridding the same area down the slope further out to the aggressive sea for nearly another hour with no luck at all. At this point I’m basically fighting a battle us Ring finders often have & that’s when to call it quits!   I thought to myself what to say too Matt when I come back empty handed soon.

The only search area I haven’t overly stretched too far is further south of the Landmark Boulder they posted at earlier,,So I headed quite a bit that way building up thought when I was interrupted by a loud solid BEEP on my metal detector … 2 scoops, 6-8” down & a few Seconds later…Matt’s Titanium wedding ring of 20 years magically appeared in my hand!!

You can only fathom how relieved Matt was & others I’ve helped the past 10yrs… To have something Soo important, Soo sentimental, So meaningful taken from you by the hungry ocean…Then handed back to you with a smile:)

Recently I received another call to help find 2 diamond rings that went missing after the ring box was thrown up a hillside nights beforehand.

After speaking with Carlos we set up a time to meet at the Apartment complex he was during the loss. As soon as we met, There was a downside seeing those loud landscaping crews cleaning the exact bushy hillside where the ring box was tossed!  I try not to get discouraged hoping that it wasn’t found in plain site already so I turned on my Metal detector, Then began ruling out each section of this roughly 20X30’ slope to determine the rings were not on there.

So back to a few more questions such as where the ring box was found, When he points just over the fence on top of the hill in an abandoned field. So I quickly hopped over then scanned back & fourth until I was confident they did not fall near the ring box. I wasn’t sure how good of an arm he had but needed to know if the rings could of fallen out of the box ending up further…

So on I we went to the very back lot and worked towards the box this time. Shortly after we were running out of possibilities,,,I began saying something to Carlos while swinging my detector machine and heard a quick beep..As I glance down in the Gravel,,I see the big diamond ring and nearly stepped on it!   I pointed right at it carrying on the conversation to surprise him and that sure did!  He was stoked in in relief,,There it is I said;!  Shortly after the first celebration,,Just 6-8’ feet around a big pile of dirt,,Another celebration,,We both simultaneously saw it relaxing in the sun.!

There is never a Monday or bad day in the metal detecting Hobby,,,Because It’s not like a job!

This Precious diamond band was lost somewhere around the exterior home during moving hay bails. I was contacted & asked if I could urgently find it before they had to move from the rental house that was getting bulldozed & developed into Multi-housing units this year!

  Once there,, She explained to me the many possible areas it could have fallen while doing some work outside. After scanning my Metal detector in the front & Side grass sections along with a few pieces of buried trash,, My detector machine told me there was no gold signals in that range left so we moved on to the trash cans,,After emptying both onto a tarp we were able to scan & sift throughout to make sure it didn’t get thrown away that day. Only the short back yard areas mixed with grass,Cement & the hay bails were left to detect over. Like a process of illumination I ruled out 98% of the areas where this precious gold ring is NOT,,,But not until the very last hay bail we moved around,,,And both yelled out in excitement….There it is;)

This lost ring was recovered before the Tonka Trucks/Bulldozers hauled it away! Gotta love this rewarding Hobby,,,Thank goodness it’s NOT a job because those contain Bossholes!

Pacific Beach Metal Detector delivery provider locates lost diamond gold ring

The Ring Finders Metal detecting service helped find a lost diamond gold wedding ring at Pacific beach San Diego California. Call Curtis Cox 760 889

One recent Sunday in October 2023, I received an urgent text message asking if I could help find a Lost wedding band with my metal detector. After a few questions and concerns I assured them I would be willing to drive there ASAP to scan over the areas they believe it was lost at.  Aman & Prabhneet were both heading back to Arizona from vacation and was not able meet.

    I arrived to the scene of the lost ring with my Pulse induction metal detector that in my opinion is the best machine for finding men’s lost gold rings on the beach to date. I also have V.L.F & Frequency detectors for other types of jewelry searches if needed but this particular P.I machine has over 11 yrs of actual time on California beaches,Has never let me down nor has ever been sent back to the factory for repairs/replacement.

    So off I went grid searching every inch of the wet sand while the tide went out. From the description of where it may of been lost I started to loose hope…I’ve already exhausted the possible areas to scan after just an hour. There were a few targets that were buried deep down but No rings. I stopped to take a break and think about expanding the hunt one direction or another.

    Not to be over Confident in my machine & grid searches,,,There is always that question if I could of missed it while gridding North to south,On the swing,On the overlap,On the turn around Etc…So many variables at hand. Often times us Ring finder guys resort to cross gridding meaning Re-scanning the area AGAIN which will take another HOUR!!

    While the sun was setting and Luck thinning,,

I decided to scan the top edge of the wet slope where beach goers were leaving then soon after into it I got a perfect sounding signal on my Metal detector..One that matches a nickel/Beaver Tail or Gold ring?? ….After digging two scoops or 5-8” Down Is when…

I miraculously unearthed Aman’s precious diamond wedding ring:).  This was very exciting  just for me alone so I had sent a pic of the ring to them right away. You can only imagine how Amazed yet relieved they were:) The very next morning I mailed it off to their residence which only took a couple days before he had his long lost Gold ring back on his hand.

Metal detector found Gold Diamond wedding ring buried at a playground park in San Diego

The Ring Finders Metal detecting service helped find a Lost Gold Diamond wedding ring in San Diego. Contact  Curtis Cox 760 889 2751

Recently on a Sunday night, I noticed a text message asking about my services to help find a diamond ring lost at a park in Poway San Diego. Adam and his wife had been searching for it all evening with no luck,,Except for finding my contact info on The Ring Finders website.

I looked up this place called Highland park on google maps and actually remember detecting this tot-lot nearly 15 years ago. The hurdle being is it’s a public park connected to a busy active elementary school,So I established what I thought would be the best time to meet the following day after school hours and before sunset.

Arriving on time promptly I immediately kicked myself in the gut while noticing Huge tire track marks with what appeared to be brand new bark all over the Tot-lot!  I walk out with my metal detector gear trying to stay optimistic then see Adam there also with a metal detector. Right away he explained the City of Poway had just offloaded 6-8” of new bark that same morning!!  What are the chances of this happening?? I couldn’t believe it either. I asked some of my standard questions to help narrow some search areas but the ring may have been lost any where inside of this fairly large playground area. They also weren’t 100% sure having not noticing till she got home.

Adam had obtained a bounty hunter metal detector which is notorious for not finding gold jewelry as I have experienced this every year since 2014. Not even one incident I’ve seen or heard of a beginner being successful at finding small gold items with this particular Metal detector. I didn’t want to give Adam’s hopes up with too much info,,Besides,,He also had a handful of typical metal trash we detectorist all find.

I figured it make sense if I scanned over the areas he’s done already starting at the back of the tot-lot. It consumed a little extra time to grid search due to every target was 4-8” deep under that new bark. There was also many many targets when ever I swung around but I know what sound to listen for so focusing on just small gold signals I was able to clear out 90% of the park all the way to the front in less than hour.

I make my way to start a new grid search on the last section when another small Non ferrous signal beeped on my Metal detector indicating it was 6-8” deep down,,,So Down I went digging with my fingers again when at the bottom of this hole,, A diamond ring magically appeared:)

I wasn’t sure how to break it to them,Then decided to ask Adam if his detector is working while kneeling down and planting the ring under the shallow bark,,,He swung the coil right over it several times but it barely even beeped once? Ahhh,,,Just I suspected,,,I told him he would have never found this gold ring with that machine as I stood up smiling opening my hand:).  ***BOOM*** Instantly hugs,Tears & Cheers came roaring in. Lots of parents & kids at that park got to witness The Ring Finders in action too. They were extremely relieved being so thankful I could help them find what may of been lost forever. Thank you for the grateful

The Ring Finders Metal detecting service helped find a Lost Gold wedding band in lake San Marcos Ca, Call Curtis Cox 760 889 2751

October 31, 2023 was not a typical Halloween morning after receiving a call to help find a lost gold ring. I had a busy day planned but thankfully this was lost behind a private home on a private residential lake.  Public areas are more urgent so we scheduled a time to meet later that afternoon.

Upon arriving promptly with my Ring Finders costume & submersible Metal detector I met Tracy & her husband at their home to go over the story of how,where,when it may of been lost?? Tracy’s father-in-law was visiting on vacation when he slipped down the short slope into the shallow lake behind her home. One of the neighbors witnessed it then pulled him up out of the water. Later on the he noticed his Gold wedding band was missing!

They explained,,He had already flew back home but you can only imagine the sadness & sorrow from losing something so important not knowing if you”ll ever wear it again.  So I scanned over the short weeded hillside above the water and ruled it out as it not being there. The 2nd place or last,,Would be in the lake approximately 2’ deep. So I grabbed my sand scoop to retrieve any potential targets while they set up a ladder from me to safely get down.

First thing off the bat I received a strong signal on my metal detector with an I.D reading of #18. Target ID numbers is a numerical representation of an object’s conductivity when exposed to the electromagnetic field generated by a metal detector. From my experience,,This strong 18 signal that was beeping told me its a good chance being his gold ring.

I carefully reached down into the compact bottom under the murky lake with my hand,,Then miraculously pulled out the precious lost gold ring. They were so thrilled yet relieved I could help find what may of been lost forever.

 

 

 

San diego Beach Metal detecting Ring finder found 6 lost buried rings

San Diego Metal detector service for lost jewelry recovery Call Curtis Cox @ 760 889 2751 THE RING FINDER

Recently in 2023 I was referred a call to help a lady find some lost rings in the sand at Trestles beach California. Erin explained to me the details of how & where it was lost. The biggest concern as a member of The Ring finders is getting there with my metal detector equipment before others do. Just weeks ago,,I saw a social media video of 6 guys with metal detectors & GoPro’s strapped to there nugget noggins.

We decided to meet ASAP that evening and I arrived promptly thanks to my Segway scooter that got me fast down this long bike path/Beach trail. She pointed towards a short section of the beach sands where the rings could have disappeared into.

I got to work right away and there was some good news off the bat,,No grid marks,,No dug holes,,a couple pieces of buried trash,,A coin I detected which means this area has not been scanned over yet. Then I get another familiar signal on my detector so I call her over as I believe this could be her rings that is beeping  multiple I.D#’s on my machine…Like a dime & nickel in 1 hole…So I carefully take one scoop in the sand…When magically all 5 rings appeared!  She was very happy and grateful I could help her find these lost sentimental rings.

“Gotta love this hobby,,,If it was a job,,I would Not love it.”  Being rewarded with smiles and good Karma is worth it all. Too top it off I couldn’t resist an eroded beach cut I saw a little ways up so decided to give it a swing. Shortly after I found a chunky Gold wedding band amongst old crusty coins. That’s what a few of us Ring finders call a bonus ring/possible return:).
