I got a text on Saturday night from Greg about a heavy gold ring that he lost in the surf earlier that day at Venice Beach. We arranged to meet at Venice Beach at 10am the next day , so I could have time to search for the ring during low tide. When I arrived that morning the parking was already starting fill up. I met up with Greg and we walked out together so he could introduce me to his family and showed me location of the loss. He and his wife tried to explain the location in relationship to the life guard tower and other features on the beach. I was a little nervous, when I saw the area seem to be about 50 yards long , but we narrowed it down a little and I began my grid search working my way down the slope and into the ocean . It was very quite, with very few signals, but after about a half an hour just below calf deep, I got a soft but repeatable signal, dug down about a foot, two scoops and there was Greg’s ring staring up at me. There were cheers, and high fives . Greg was ecstatic to have his grandfather’s ring back on his finger. They even have the same initials which was on the ring. I felt blessed to be able to help such a nice family. It made a long drive home much more pleasant.

Jeff is AMAZING!!
I texted him on Saturday night shortly after losing my grandfathers gold ring while playing with our daughter in the breakwater. Jeff texted me back right away, he was in a movie but called me right after.
He was very helpful and went out of his way to come to the beach the next morning over an hour from where he lives to meet and and look for the ring.
We just pointed Jeff in the right direction and let him go to work. 20 minutes or so later he FOUND THE RING!!!
My wife and daughter were there for the hunt and thanks to Jeff it was successful.
HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Jeff if you ever loose a ring!!!
