**** Aisha contacted me by cellphone while I was metal detecting on the beach. Her 6 year old daughter had taken mommy’s heirloom ring into the backyard and lost it in the grass. The home was in La Habra with was less than a 45 minute. I met Aisha and her husband, Kobby about an hour before dark.

Sometimes little six year old kids can get confused about where an item like a ring could be lost. We were working towards finding the ring but if it wasn’t there, I could feel eliminate that area. So they could search the other places her daughter had been playing.

I began the grid search under the swings then expanded my area to swing over all the thick grass. The grass was free of metal trash so I

didn’t waist much time checking false signals. Twenty minutes into the search I got a nice gold signal and there was Aisha’s beautiful gold / diamond and blue sapphire ring that her grandmother had worn for years and passed it down to Aisha. ”Irreplaceable “

A happy moment for everyone. We were all relieved to have found it within hours of the loss. They will all sleep well tonight. Many times when a person loses a sentimental ring the memory of the loss haunts them for may years. I always consider this when I am searching for a keepsake. I also have some searches where the ring should be a easy find and it couldn’t be found for one reason or another. I have a few unsuccessful ring searches that haunt me .. That’s just the way it is…

Breeze called last night as I was finishing up my dinner. Her husband’s ring had been lost at the beach, and after a thorough search of the area, they were unable to find it. She was hoping I would be able to help. I asked her some questions, and found out that the loss occurred earlier that day, so the possibility of a recovery was good. Also, she told me that she had watched the ring fly into the sand, so she knew very well where the ring should be, which only enhanced the recovery possibilities. I let her know I would be on my way as soon as I got my equipment together.

When I got to the meeting place, Breeze, her husband Kartik, and a friend met me and walked me down to the area of the loss. It turned out to be a secluded area, and then she explained exactly what caused the loss. Kartik had given Breeze the ring to hold while he went surfing. Breeze was hold their dog’s leash in one hand, and had the ring on her thumb of the other hand. As soon as their dog saw Kartik coming from the water back to them, he jerked his leash, which caused Breeze’s other hand to jerk in the other direction, and the ring to fly off. When this happened she looked back to see the ring go towards the sand. It is truly amazing how hard it is to find a ring even though you know where it should be, but that is why I use the best equipment available in order to make that process as « painless » as possible. It took all of about 3 minutes to find the ring and have it back on Kartik’s finger. It takes the ability to ask the right questions, and have the most up to date equipment to make such a recovery possible. I am really happy to make others happy, and this was one of those times.

 

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search, Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Northridge, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, Zuma Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, and Ventura County.

Late Wednesday evening I received a call from Tim who was with his wife, Nicole at one of the beaches in Laguna Beach, CA. His Tungsten wedding ring had come off his finger while sitting around a fire pit on the sand. They heard it hit the side of the cement fire pit.

It was just about a half hour before the beach and the parking lot closed. Except for the possibility of a lot of metal trash in the search area, I felt it was worth a try to attempt a search even if we only had 10 or 15 minutes before the beach closed. 

When I arrive, Tim and Nicole were the only people in the parking lot. We took a few minutes to go over moment of when the ring came off his finger. I turned on my detector, backing off to get a few test swings in before getting in the zone. As I expected there were many ferrous iron signals (mostly nails).  A few more swings of my search coil and I heard a tone with a good ID number that turned up the very sentimental wedding band in my sand scoop.

Nicole broke out in tears and Tim was also very emotional. 

I was glad that I was able to get to the site of the loss before the next morning. This beach is a favorite location for some hobby detectorists to hit before going to work, especially in the summer. I’m sure it would not of been there the next day. Most Detectirist will return sentimental rings, the problem is finding the person who lost the ring.. Maybe someday there will be an app for that..

Lost Ring in Atlantic City NJ, Found By Dave Milsted

While on vacation, I received a call from a fellow Ring Finder, Steve Pacifico. He received a request to find a lost wedding ring, but he was at work. He knew I was at the shore, so he gave me the contact information.

Arrie lost her ring on the beach in Atlantic City. She got up off of the sand to go back to her room, started to brush off the sand from her legs and her ring went flying. She said she spent several hours on her hands and knees combing the sand looking for her ring. She didn’t tell her husband.

I told her that I would be there within 30 minutes. She met me on the beach and showed me the area. I started searching. I showed her everything I found, penny, bottle caps, pull tabs. After about 20 minutes I found what I was looking for.

I wanted to surprise her, so I dumped my scoop back in the hole, made it look like I was still looking for something. She looked away, so I picked up the ring and put it on my little finger. I went over and while pointing said could it be over that way? She said maybe. I pointed again, over there? She still didn’t see it. One last time I may be over there? This time she dropped to her knees and screamed. The lifeguards were all looking at us now.

She said the big diamond was given to her husband from his family. It has been in the family for a few generations. I told Arrie that she should go gamble since it was her lucky day. The smile on her face was priceless.

Teamwork paid off for Arrie. Atlantic City is heavily searched by people with metal detectors. By getting there quick we were able to put a smile on Arrie’s face!

3 Sentimental Pendants Lost In Wildwood Crest NJ, Found By Dave Milsted

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)

Today is my mom’s birthday. She helped me with a recovery today.

Angela contacted me earlier in the week, asking if I could help her find three pendants from a necklace. She was at a wedding in Wildwood last weekend and lost the very sentimental items.

She is a nurse and has odd hours as I do. We decided to meet on Sunday morning, my mom’s birthday. The weather forecast was not looking good with rain and wind predicted before sun up. Angela asked if the rain would be a problem. I told her that I would be there rain or shine.

I got there about a half an hour early, no rain but I did see a beautiful sunrise. Thanks, mom! Angela arrived and showed me the area of the crime. The wedding reception was at the Star Beach Bar in Wildwood Crest. She was around the fire pit, a cabana, and sat in the couches. There has been a lot of wind at the beach this week, so there was a lot of sand drifts around the cabanas and tables.

She said last weekend she and her friends searched, including removing the cushions from the chairs. It’s a good thing as the chairs have been removed for the winter. They also raked the beach. They only found a few coins.

I started a grid search. I expected to find a lot of bottle caps. I was amazed only to have found one. I found a lot of coins. I guess Angela was getting frustrated that I hadn’t found her precious items, so she started to walk around.

I heard a scream. My first thought was an animal came from under one of the cabanas scaring Angela. I went over to find out what happened. Here she found the smallest pendant of the three we were looking for. It looks like the wind had blown all of the sand off of the pendant. It was just sitting on the top of the sand.

So now I had a place to continue the search. The only problem was it was next to the cabana, and it had wood & metal framework. So every time I swung my detector it went off. Angela found a shovel and a rake. I started to shovel large amounts of sand away from the cabana and detect the piles.
Finally, I received a good hit and found the silver pendant.

The last pendant is mostly jade with just a little bit of 14k gold on it. A new strategy, set my detector up to search for gold nuggets. After about 15 more minutes of digging and detecting, we found what we were looking for. Angela was amazed and I got a very big hug. I love my hobby!

Ten minutes after I got into my car for the journey home it started to pour. Thanks for the help mom, and Happy Birthday!!

***Andrew had lost a heirloom gold w/ diamond ring that his father had bought in Hong Kong back in 1935. The Ring had been given to Andrew who has worn it for close to 30 years.

He lost it in the surf at a beach in Dana Point, CA. while throwing a football wading through knee deep water.

It was high tide the next morning when Andrew called me, which could  interfere with being able to find the ring at that time of day. I explained this to him and agreed to meet him to get the best location of the loss. It will be low tide in 4 hours, so this search may have to be postponed until then.

After getting started I told Andrew I could give it a half hour but it looks like I’ll come back at low tide. No need for him to hang around. 

I went out into waist deep surf just to give a quick try. BOOM! Andrews’s ring was in the scoop. First signal and three or four attempts to retrieve it in between waves. I looked up where Andrew was walking off the beach. I got his attention before he drove off. Then we had a great reunion of him with this 84 year family heirloom ring, very special and irreplaceable.

Seattle Lake Union Lost Phone Recovery

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)
Contact:

 

Natalie had just completed a fun day of Hot Tub boating on Seattle’s Lake Union. When she got back to the boat slip, got out of the hot tub boat her phone fell into the water below the dock. She did a Google search and fond me through my listing on TheRingFinders. I came out the next day and recovered her Google Pixel 3 phone just past 20′ of water. Unfortunately the phone was full of water but she was prepared for this outcome and wanted her phone back for the insurance claim. During the recovery dive an older iPhone with some old bank cards and an ID were found. I am in the process of getting that returned to its owner as well.

Check out the dive recovery here:

Special thanks to https://www.hottubboats.com for allowing the recovery effort. If you get a chance check them out and tell them the SeattleRingHunter sent you over.

Cheers,

Diamond Ring found in Corn Box at the Goebberts Farm & Garden Center in South Barrington, IL

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

So this is my Second call out to a corn pit this year. This was at the Goebberts Farm in South Barrington, Illinois. The owner could not have been more accommodating.

A woman had been playing with her child and fell. The ring came off as she was trying to get up. I can tell you, I fell myself on several occasions during the hunt. I had to crawl over to the pole just to get up! These corn pits are the PITS!!

She had lost it on Sunday and I wasn’t able to hunt until Thursday. The ring sank to the bottom of the pit and I was lucky to recover it. I used my box like device to dig down toward the bottom. I used 2 detectors, a hand help pinpointer and a hand held plastic sand scoop to recover the ring. I am considering using a PI Machine to locate items that may be at the bottom of the corn kernels. She was embarrassed about losing it, so I will not post her photo.

I’m beginning to have a Love Hate relationship with Corn Pits!!

LOVE the money HATE the labor.

Most corn pits are open til October 31st, so maybe more searches will be forthcoming.

Lost Platinum Ring in Sand at Laguna Beach, CA. … Found by a Ringfinder with a Metal Detector

Metal detecting service available to help you find your lost ring or other precious metallic jewelry.. 949-500-2136

….. I received a call from a guy named Ridge asking for assistance to help him find his platinum wedding band. Yesterday, he had been at Victoria Beach one of many coves in Laguna Beach, CA. When he got home he realized his platinum wedding ring was missing. He thought that it had either come off in the surf or when he brushed the sand off his towel as he was leaving the beach.

He was on his way the next morning to search the dry sand where he had shook off his towel, although the most probable area his loss was the surf where he was most active.

Even though it was high tide and it would not be productive to search the water, I agreed to meet him where I could eliminate the dry sand area. At the same time I could get the location for a return search at the next low tide.

When we walked to the spot where Ridge had shook out his towel, I asked him if he had done any activity on the dry sand that might cause the ring to slip off his finger. He said that the only thing he can think of was brushing off his towel. He pointed up a little higher on the sloping sand. 

I turned on my metal detector making a few adjustments before walking up the embankment. I began a few swings of my detector telling Ridge I need to do a warm up before getting to the zone he was sitting. Boom! I got a signal right away,  10 ft. from where I was to start my search. Yes! The heavy platinum ring was there in my scoop when I retrieved the signal from the sand.

Both of us were surprised as the odds that the ring was lost in the ocean were much higher than it being in the dry sand. It was another time that it paid off just to search the location that was available while we had the time to eliminate part of several places the ring could have been lost. Also, he was a very happy guy, because he had really all but given up hope that a small ring could be found in a mass of sand. I hope I never get tired of helping people find their sentimental keepsakes.

2 rings found in corn pit in Tinley Park, Illinois.

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a man who had lost his 14K wedding band while playing in a corn pit. He had me come out to look for it. Corn pits, for those who don’t know, is a structure, that is filled with corn kernels that people play in. They generally are about 2 feet deep and are very hard to walk in AND very difficult to hunt. As you dig for the lost item, the corn fills in the hole. Its a tough workout!! I devised a box to help prevent that filling in. I was able to find His ring in about 10 minutes. Thats because he called me soon after he lost it. The longer you wait, the deeper it goes and the harder it is to find.

Once I found his ring, the manager of the Odyssey Fun Farm, told me that a woman had also lost her Diamond wedding band the same morning. So I searched for that ring too. I found it within 30 minutes. The manager called the woman’s husband, and he came out with his daughter to retrieve it.
