*** Joseph had been at Lake Gregory in the Cirty of Crestline, CA. . The lake has sandy beaches that are well kept up. Its fenced off and a pay to enter beach and play area. He called me asking if I could help him find a Cuban Cut Gold bracelet lost in the water last weekend. He told me he knew the exact location. Our first conversation was on Friday, thinking we could do the search on Saturday or Sunday. I told him the traffic up the mountain and weekend visitors at that location would hamper our search.
We set up to do the search on Monday. It is a 80 mile drive for both of us coming from different locations in So. Calif. He would meet me at the 5000ft elevation near the recreation site. When we got to the south entrance gate it was closed. For a moment we thought the trip was wasted. Then we found out only one entrance was open on weekdays. The other entrance was about two blocks from the area where he felt his gold bracelet slip off his wrist. After we got where he believed the loss occurred, mJoseph said he was having second thoughts about which lifeguard stand he was near.
He called his girlfriend using FaceTime to get her opinion on the proper spot they had been. I set up my gear planning to search to a chest depth of water. We kept a low profile not to draw unnecessary attention. Visibility was not much, the bottom was sandy enough to hide a big gold chain. That was a good thing because it meant there was a good chance the gold chain could still be hiding. 10 minutes into the search I got a good signal. When I took a scoop in 4ft. of water, I saw a glint of gold mixed with the sand. It disappeared from the scoop but I know chains like to crawl out sand scoops. Another gentle dig with the sand scoop I had a heavy Cuban cut style gold chain to show Joseph.
He gave me a big thank you and we walked off the beach without showing anyone what we had found. I was thankful that we did not get disturbed by curious onlookers. It did take a little coordination to put this search together. At the price of gasoline we didn’t need to make this a two trip ordeal.

Hal called me about 4 in the afternoon to see if I could find his wife’s lost wedding ring. He and his family were staying near the Alabama beaches and decided to take their boat out to a secluded beach in Florida called Johnson Beach. Johnson Beach is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore and the ring was lost on the intercostal side of the beach. Hal sent me a location and there wasn’t a way for me get to them by car without a 3 or 4 mile walk through the National Seashore which doesn’t allow metal detecting for archeology reasons. I tried calling the Park service for a permit but I think everyone was off work and I got a recording. I discussed this with Hal and he said he would come get me from a marina several miles away. By the time I got to where the ring was lost the sun was getting pretty low in the sky! his wife was afraid she would never see her ring again. the area to search wasn’t that big but the water was dark from recent rain. I ask lots of questions about what they were doing to try and pinpoint the location to start the search. His wife and daughter described at one point they were in the water doing cheers routines and animated with their arms the activity. It was the clue I was hoping for and asked about where they were. They identified and areas about 10 foot wide and I started the search. Within 10 minutes I got the unmistakable tone of a gold ring. Ring recovered, everyone happy and I didn’t get arrested by the Park police, a good day all around!
