Diamond Stud Earring Lost in Yard in the City of Orange, CA…Found.

I received a call today from Demi regarding a Diamond stud earring lost in the grass at her house. I knew this would be a challenge because there is so little metal, in a very limited configuration, in a stud earring of any kind, especially one with a jewel that spreads out the metal into little tabs, which makes it very difficult to find. I told her I would be there, and felt up to the challenge.

When I got to their house her husband Richard showed me to the area, and explained what had happened, which I found a bit amusing. They have some “barnyard animals”, and Demi had been on the lawn with some of their goats, one of which was nuzzling the side of her head. She thought something had come off of the goat on to her blouse which caused her to brush it off. It wasn’t until they were on their way to put the goats away when she noticed the earring missing.

Well I got to work searching very slow and cautiously, and in the process found the back to the earring. It was real hot out there, and Richard was great to keep me hydrated with plenty of water. After about an hour and a half he invited me over to the porch to have a lunch with him that included more water, and some very fresh watermelon. After the lunch I went back to work refreshed, and searched the other areas he showed me with no success. I decided to go back to the area where the back was found and cross grid. After about 15 to 20 minutes, I found the earring. I walked over to where Demi was talking to her friend, held it up, and asked, “did it look like this?” When she saw it, the emotion on her face was all I needed to see, it was pure joy, and relief. Richard explained that he had given these earrings to Demi for their anniversary, so I realized why there was so much emotion, they were truly a precious item. Patience and persistence paid off in this search, and it helped a lot that Demi and Richard put me in the right area, otherwise the earring may have been lost for good. What wonderful smiles, what a happy couple, what a great day! Referred to me by Stan Ross fellow Ring Finder.

Men’s 14k Gold Ring Lost in Volley Ball Court at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

P1020715

I received a call from Justin at about 8:30 PM regarding his friend’s ring which was lost playing volley ball at a local beach. I was able to return the call about 10:30 PM because of previous commitments, and told him I could help them. He did not want to go back to the beach at that hour, and wasn’t sure if he wanted me to look without them being there. I then said he should come here and read about my many recoveries, and decide if he wanted to entrust me with the search. I received a call back about 5 to 10 minutes later with the go ahead.

I got to the area, and searched with no success, I then did a cross grid, again with no success. It was then I decided to go to the other side of the court, in the direction of his friend’s hit, and found the ring, it was now about 12:15 AM. I called Justin and woke him up to let him know that the search was a success, and we arranged to meet the next day. When we met, I was able to give his friend’s ring back to him, but he was a bit camera shy, so he did not want his picture taken which I respected. needless to say he was very happy, and had a big smile when he received his ring.

Wedding Band Found Under the Waves – Eastern Point Beach, Groton CT

  • from Westerly (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

A recent beachgoer contacted me to help find his lost wedding band. He was playing with his children in waist-deep water, and then it happened. The platinum band flew off into the water. After hours of searching with a mask and snorkel, no luck. The beachgoer even called over a local detectorist searching the dry sand for lost jewelry, still no luck. The beachgoer explained he was losing hope and reluctantly searched the web for advice on finding a lost ring in the ocean. After looking through The Ring Finders Directory, he decided to give me a call. I discussed the situation with him, and we decided it was still worth a shot. I came out with my underwater gear, and within the first 20 minutes of searching the surf, the beachgoer was reunited with his ring.

Even if a couple of days have gone by, the sentimental item you thought was gone forever can still be found. Give me, and we can figure out how to find your lost ring.

Yellow Gold / Diamond Mens Wedding Band Recovered!

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a gentleman (Chris) the other day. He said that he lost his wedding band after taking it off to apply sunscreen and left it in the cup holder pocket on the beach chair. He didn’t realize that it was still in the pocket until he was back to his hotel room, then realizing that it must have dropped out after folding the chair. This band had some family history since it contained diamonds from his mother in laws ring, so he was anxious to get it back ASAP. Luckily he got my contact info from beach patrol HQ. I met Chris at the beach about 15-20 minutes after getting the call and recovered the ring in about 5 minutes. Happy camper!

Metal Detector Finds Gold Wedding Band .. Anahiem, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Joel was thinking about buying or renting a metal detector when he found my contact number on TheRingFinders.com.

 

Joel called me telling me his story. He had put his wedding band in his pocket while doing yard work. Before returning to the house he reached in his pocket and the ring was missing. That information help me after I arrived at his house. Many times the story gets vague as to where the ring may have fallen.
It was a large thick lawn, that was a golden brown color because of our drought here in California, a perfect hiding place for a yellow gold ring. In the corner there was a 15 x 25ft area of soft unplanted dirt. That was the easiest place to start. Joel and his three kids watched as I explained what I was doing. First find was a pull tab, second find was Joel’s ring. They didn’t believe me when I said, I found it. When I handed to him he responded with a big smile. Sometimes these searches are easy, other times they can drive you crazy, the other day I spent two hours walking more than a mile in a sandy river bed with no success. Lots of fresh air and exercise.

Another thought, I often have is:   How many lost valuables are hiding in backyards because people don’t know how to get an experienced metal detectorist to help?

Metal Detector Rental .. Lost Engagement Ring .. Huntington Beach

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Why rent or buy a metal detector .. When you can have an experienced person with the best equipment find your valuable.

 

Sunday, after returning home from the beach, Julie realized her new white gold engagement ring was missing from her finger. It could only be at the beach where she had taken it off to put on sunscreen. Her fiancé, John went to the local sporting goods store purchasing  a metal detector. They also brought tennis rackets to sift through the sand. The search went into the night until the beach closed at 10pm. That night was a sleepless night for Julie, so she went to her Huntington Beach Community Forum to share her dilemma.
Somewhere in her search for what to do to find her precious ring, Julie located TheRingFinders.com. That was how she contacted me. John and Julie were on the beach searching early Monday morning when they called me before 7am. When I arrived they were able to put me in the exact area. The ring was back on her finger within a few minutes. Tears of joy and giant smiles from both of them.
John said he must have gone over that same area more than a half a dozen times. He had found some bottle caps, but he was completely overwhelmed with the new device. There are several basics to understand about using a metal detector. I would never tell a person to just rent or buy a metal detector. Too many variables like, other trash metals, soil conditions, settings on the detector and much more. It takes a little practice to feel comfortable using it. In most cases you will not have that much time. Why worry for more time than you should?
Julie told me she had no idea that TheRingFinders.com existed. I hear that all the time. Then asked her if she could put the word out to her friends. She posted on her Facebook forum the next thing we knew it received 1500- likes and over 200-comments. A reporter from the Orange County Register ask us to meet for an interview the next day.
My hope is that more people will know how to get their missing sentimental item found. We have members in many cities in the USA, Canada and other countries. Why worry or get upset with yourself for losing your valuable piece of jewelry. We are ready to help.. Important, Please call anytime 24/7.

The next couple days we did a newspaper and a television news interview…

Lost Tiffany Silver Pendant UBC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

The other day I received a call from a young lady by the name of Ciara that had lost a very special small Silver Tiffany Pendent in the shape of a bean. This bean was a symbol of love given to her by her mother.  Ciara is a rugby player for UBC (University British Columbia) and at practice she forgot to take her pendent off and during the workout it was ripped off her neck by accident.

She was very smart to make a mental note to the exact location it was ripped off her neck. This is fantastic as it makes the search much more easier when we can focus the search in a small area, specially when the item is so small.

I asked the type question that I always do to make sure I was in the right area and I had her put out some red cones to mark the search area.  After 10 minutes or so I bent down to check out a signal with my pin pointer and saw a little silver bean in the grass!

I put it in my hand and walked over to Ciara to ask her a few more questions and then held out the bean so she could see that I found it…I love when I can surprise people and she was surprised!!

I found out that the silver bean was her good luck charm,  she felt it helped her on her tests and on the rugby field. I’m happy that she has it back! Good Luck on your rugby season!!!

Lost Ring .. Malibu, CA. .. Found in Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

 

Late Thursday night at 11:30 pm Anna Called me. Asking me about how my service works. I have asked that people call me anytime, it’s important because it may make the difference of finding your ring.
She told me that her ring was lost in the dry sand at a beach in Malibu. She had picked up her beach towel stepping away from the other people to shake out the sand before packing up to leave the beach. She was sure this was when the ring came off her finger.. Her questions for me were leading me to think a metal detector wouldn’t work. My questions for her were, could she get me to the approximate location?
I could meet her as early as 6am, the next morning, but she couldn’t be there till 10am. Traffic is a factor on the Los Angeles freeways so I was there 3 hours early. Having no idea where Ana had lost her ring, I just did a general search of the places people might set up their beach camps for the day. I did find some coins and a tungsten ring with a cross design.
When Anna arrived she walked right over to the part of the beach where I had found the tungsten ring. I asked her if her ring had a cross design, she said yes. That’s when I told her I had already found her ring. She was so surprised, but it wasn’t her ring..
I proceeded with the search, but Anna had second thoughts about the location. The high tide had changed the beach and much of the dry sand had become wet. It wasn’t that large of an area so I just expanded my grid search. Ana believed that it could be out further down the slope where the water was receding as the tide was going out. I told her I would eliminate the top of the slope and wait for the tide to recede.
As we talked about taking a break to get water and sunscreen, I was still swinging the detector. One more signal, nothing special until I looked into my scoop. Yes, Ana’s ring.. She broke out into tears of gratitude. This ring was so special to her as it was a gift from her sister. Ana was also a special lady that deserves to have her ring back where it belongs. A beautiful ring with a X type design that some could call a cross. She was a little bashful about letting me take a photo of her for our book of smiles. I can tell you her smile was one for me to remember.

Hand Made Engagement Ring Lost at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

P1020713P1020712

I was out practicing my detecting on one of the local beaches when I received a call from Sam regarding the loss of his fiance’s engagement ring in the surf. I had been watching the waves today, and there was some good sized surf. When he told me that the loss was in the water, knowing the conditions, my heart sank a bit realizing it could be a challenging hunt. When he told me she had only been about knee to thigh deep, I felt better, as I knew the tide had begun to go out.

When I got to the spot, and met Sam and his fiance Tanya, I began my series of questions, like where were you, how far out were you, and what were you doing at the time of the loss, was it a light ring or a heavy ring. When Sam told me it was a heavy ring I felt more assured of a possible recovery because the sand underfoot was soft, and the ring would have sunk into the sand as soon as it hit instead of moving around with the wave action. I began my search, going out up to my chest to make sure I covered the most amount of area. I made two passes, when my Excal 2 sang out with a very familiar tone. One scoop and I had the biggest ring I think I have found so far, when Sam said heavy, there was no exaggeration in what he said.

I held up the ring, and when Tanya saw it there was a flood of emotion, jumping up down, big hugs to go around. Sam then explained the significance of this ring. This is a ring the he made with his hands for his bride to be. He even cut the facets in the diamond from a rough cut stone. The stone even reflected an image of their heritage and faith, something I have never seen. I told Sam that God had a part in this stone’s creation. This is a ring he made specifically for Tanya his bride to be; irreplaceable! They are scheduled to be married in a few months. Wow what an honor I felt to be able to hand this back to her.

When we were in the parking lot talking we found that we shared the same faith, and had a great time of fellowship there. Before we left for the day Tanya thought a prayer would be a good thing at that moment, so she prayed for us all, and for me and my family. I must say, I am not sure who went away today most blessed, because I was surely blessed in the highest sense. Aren’t those great smiles on that couple?

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, call as soon as possible. I will work hard 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, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice 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.

Huntington State Beach Peace Officer’s Badge .. Recovered

Huntington State Beach.. Peace Officer Badge

 

I received a call from a Huntington State Beach Peace Officer. He found me on TheRingFinders website. These officers are permanent year round employees that patrol the state beach, usually in a vehicle. They are also certified lifeguards sometimes having to perform rescues.
Two days before,  one of their officers had to leave his vehicle removing his uniform to go into the surf for a rescue. In the process, he believes his badge fell into the sand. After searching his vehicle, not finding it he called me.
We met an hour after the call and he walked me out to the general location. Our hope was to find the badge. If we couldn’t find it, we could eliminate this area. It was a 40 x 40ft. location and the badge showed up after about 20minutes. I was careful while using the scoop. I didn’t want to damage the nice looking badge. It was another special day and I was glad to help the patrol officers as they have always been friendly and helpful to me. I know that in the future they can recommend our group.
