Lost Keys .. Fullerton, CA. .. Found
Jasmine lost a set of house keys three days before she found me on TheRingFinders.com website. When we talked on the phone about the loss, I was concerned that it may have lost in a large area. Lately these key searches have been terrible failures because they lost them while jogging or on a long walk. I had just about given up on doing key searches. Jasmin assured me it was a small area.
The city of Fullerton is about a 24 mile drive and at rush hour traffic it was about an hour drive. When I met Jasmin she told me that she had searched everywhere she had been for the last three days. She even drove 40 miles back to work that first day. These keys were important to her because they belonged to her very good friend who had entrusted with the keys.
The only place she couldn’t check was a small lawn area and a small landscaped garden. The day of the loss, she had got out of her car with a handful of miscellaneous items. Before she went into the house, she went to look at a fruit tree that’s where her sunglasses dropped into the landscaping. I look straight down as we were talking and Bingo!! The two keys hiding in some plants.. The time of day may have helped make the keys visible. A very happy lady, Jasmin was. They may have only been a set of keys, but I do realize how much something as simple as a set of keys can upset a person. It was a pleasure to be able to meet Jasmin and help her find those keys. Too bad, I didn’t get to get my detector out of the car.
Lost Gold Rings at Seaside State Park, Waterford CT… Found!
Two gold rings slipped off a necklace while a young lady was playing in the water with friends. The rings were her grandmother’s engagement ring and wedding band representing almost 50 years of marriage. The young lady realized the rings were lost to the ocean when the necklace containing the rings was unclasped and freely draped across her shoulders. She thought the rings were lost forever.
A month went by and the young lady had given up hope on the rings… Until a resident who lives next to Seaside saw me in the local paper and referred my services. After receiving an initial text message from the young lady I arrived at Seaside during the next low tide. A couple of phone calls and photo exchanges later we determined I was in the location where the rings were lost. Only a couple of minutes into the search I got my first promising signal from my XP Deus. I dipped my scoop into the waist-deep water and dug into the sand. Just moments later there was a beautiful sight of gold and diamonds mixed in with the shells and rocks. It was the engagement ring! With the very next scoop, the wedding band was retrieved and the pair of rings were no longer lost to the ocean!
My jewelry finding service covers Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and other surrounding states.

Lost Go Pro 3+ in Aulani Disney Resort Ko Olina Lagoon…FOUND!!!
I got a call from Karlo who told me that while he was swimming in the Ko Olina lagoon at the Disney Resort he dropped his Go Pro HERO 3+ in the water. Because he had his daughter with him on a board he didn’t want to panic her by jumping into the 10-15 foot deep water to retrieve it. Also the remnants of Hurricane Madeline are causing high surf and the Lagoon is stirred up more then normal making usually crystal clear visibility very low. Ten foot visibility in Hawaii is horrible. Karlo did take note to where he dropped the camera in reference to an orange buoy. That buoy moves around on it’s mooring to over reef rocks and silty sand. I decided to go take a look myself without my detector to decide which one to use. I put on my scuba gear and swam out to the buoy. Visibility improved a bit where I was at so I decided to do a visual search since I had a 3/4 full tank of air. The buoy was currently over the rocky reef area so I looked down into all the pukkas (Hawaiian for holes) that might be hiding the Go Pro. As I moved away from the buoy towards shore it got sandy and seaward more rocky. I started to make a big arc around the buoy mooring and found a pair of Ray-Ban P glasses that were lost the previous weekend and we might be able to get those returned. As I was coming back towards the rocky area I spotted the Go Pro lying on the bottom face up next to a few boulders. Great I thought. Had it been in the sand I would have needed my metal detector as it definitely would have been silted over. I swam back to shore and went to my truck to call Karlo and give him the good news. Karlo said he never saw me surface after going down and started to worry. I told him I swam ashore underwater. He told me he was so grateful because all his babies photos from this vacation were on the camera as he hadn’t downloaded them yet. Memories saved and the smile was quite evident and huge. Aloha to Karlo!
WW 2 Military Dog Tags Lost .. Montage Resort, Laguna Beach, CA. .. Found and Returned
I talked to Craig on the phone, he told me about losing WW2 military dog tags that had been passed down to him from his grandfather. He was very distraught as these meant the world to him..
We talked for a few minutes on the phone about the location. It is a small beach cove at the Montage Beach Resort in Laguna Beach, CA.. The whole cove is less than half the size of a football field. I knew exactly where he was describing his loss. He agreed to meet me there, but I knew I could get there before Craig. It was important to beat the oncoming beach crowds.
I was able to spot where Craig had been digging the night before. I set up and searched a 20×20 ft area before he got to the beach. He was very positive as to where he had been the day of the loss. As I searched, I picked up the trash metal. Explaining to Craig that if I had to cross grid they would not bother me on my second pass. I showed him a peace of metallic strap which he told me was the same piece of metal he coached away from a seagull. He actually was feeding seagulls that day to get it to drop the metal strap.
I could not find his lost military dog tags. He was starting to believe that some young guys, that were sitting behind him, may have taken his heirloom keepsake. We talked about other options he might try to find his chain and tags.
I went home thinking that it could be possible the tags were buried deep because he had moved a lot of sand trying to find them. Long Story shortened.. I returned the next morning with a Pulse Induction detector that may give me a few inches more depth and would get all metal types. Starting at one end of the beach, I gridded the whole beach ( 2 hrs ). Up against the cliff in the sand I spotted an edge of one of the dog tags sticking out of the sand. Swing my coil and bam, a solid sound. Craig’s grandfathers WW2 military dog tags. More than 50 feet away from anywhere he had been. I had searched every bit of sand except about 50 square feet. Ready to call it a day.
We think that the seagulls may have taken them to that location or the young teenagers may have taken them to there, losing them or just throwing them there. We will never know! I do know that Craig was a happy guy.

Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band Lost in Sand.. Newport Beach, CA. ..Found
Newport Beach .. Lifeguard Tower 74 .. Adrian lost his Tungsten carbide wedding band .. A week before his second wedding anniversary. He placed it in a Baggie with his Celphone. Noticed it missing on the walk back to the car..
Adrian called me saying he was on the beach using a metal detector that the Newport Beach lifeguard had loaned him. His Tungsten Carbide wedding ring of had fallen out of a plastic baggy. He had put his phone and ring in the baggy for safe keeping.
Waking off the beach to his car he discovered his ring missing from the baggy. After 2 hours with a bounty hunter metal detector, he was totally frustrated. I think it is a nice gesture for the city to loan out metal detectors with sand scoop. The problem is, these are low end detectors and learning how to work a metal detector when you have a important valuable sentimental keepsake is a shot in the dark. I believe that people are mislead when they can’t find their important item. They walk away believing their keepsake is lost forever. » Not True » Get someone with experience. Example: You can’t jump in a car and drive it safely if you have ever driven a car.
It was a two hour grid search with a happy ending. It was getting dark and I was running out of search area with Arian giving me a look of giving up. The Tungsten Carbide ring just about blew out my ears when I finally past the coil over it hiding in the dry sand. Adrian heard that metal on metal clanking in my sand scoop. His attitude changed, when he told me with out seeing it, « That’s my ring »
Lost Man’s Wedding Ring in the Water is Found on Big Island, Hawaii!
« Racing for Rings! »
Sylvie and I are just thru all the « fun » of moving houses to a new home down the street – but on moving-day – we got a call from Jared visiting with his family from Seattle.
Sylvie kept packing and since I’d already moved all but our giant mattress I raced to the beach, counting every second before I was supposed to be back, and out of our old house.
Jared had actually seen his platinum ring come off his finger in the chest-deep water and panic-dived to try and grab it. It was instantly covered and lost by the sand.
We looked at the area Jared thought he’d been in. The details of exactly where became hazy as he’d swam desperately to find it.
I checked the location for 45 minutes in the water, then decided to expand my search. Sure enough, about 10 minutes into my new search pattern I heard a familiar sound in my Minelab Excalibur headphones.
I scooped in the sand with my long-handled basket and then dove down to see the contents as the sand strained away.
Inside, Jared’s big platinum wedding band looked back at me – gotcha!
Jared was overjoyed and I had to say a hasty thank you for his trust and gracious reward.
Racing back to Kona, I got back in time just to move the last big piece of furniture and checked out with minutes to spare!
Mahalo Jared for trusting us to find your treasure! Mahalo Sylvie for packing and making it possible for me to go!

Atlantic Beach, North Carolina
Date Lost: August 18, Date Notified: August 21, Ring Recovered & Returned: August 22
Parker explains this situation very well:
« On August 18th I lost my ring at Atlantic Beach. I am a Youth Pastor in Rocky Mount, NC and took a beach day with the youth group. While throwing football with some of the kids I looked down to my great displeasure that my wedding ring had slipped off my finger. You would be surprised how many things at the beach look like a wedding ring! After much looking and frustration I left a defeated man. However Steven Ray, found it with a metal detector in ankle deep water 7 inches under the sand 4 days after I lost it! So here I am at the beach on August 22nd, way too late picking my wedding ring. Whatever you are going through that seems all a loss remember, there is a God who can do exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or imagine. PS, guys get your ring sized correctly when you get married. #praiseGod
Save this # in your phone,

Platinum Tiffany & Co. Wedding Band Lost at Will Rogers State Beach, CA…Recovered and Joyously Returned.
I happened to be surfing again yesterday, and after my morning session, I got back to my car to find a message from Olivia regarding the loss of her husband’s wedding ring when they were at the beach the day before. I got right back with her to let her know that I would be available to search for the ring as soon as I dropped my surfboard off and picked up my equipment. We agreed to meet at a specific time, so I rushed home to get ready.
We met at the beach, and Olivia explained how there was a miscommunication between her and her husband Tim after he asked for some of the items that he gave to her to hold while he went into the water, the ring being one of the items. The result was that after they got home, and Tim was ready to go to work, he asked for his ring, and it wasn’t there. They then figured , it must have dropped into the sand when he was handed his things. They found me on TheRingFinders.com web site and made the call. When I got to the spot, I could see that the sand was smoothed out from the beach sifters, and realized that the ring having been lost the previous day, might not be there. I did tell them though that although it doesn’t look real good for a recovery, I always have hope. After asking some questions I began my search. I searched for about 1 1/2 hours, and then began to work the other side of the area closer to the slope, when I found Tim’s ring.
Tim and Olivia had been sitting under an umbrella in some sand chairs while I searched, so when I turned with Tim’s ring in my hand, they were both gone. I looked up and down the beach, and saw neither one of them, so I started walking towards the place where they had been sitting, when I saw that Tim was lying on a towel next to the chairs. When I got to him I could see that he was deep in sleep, and I felt kind of bad that I was going to wake him to let him know I found his ring. I spoke to Tim and he awoke. I showed him the ring to make sure that it was the one he lost and he acknowledged it was. He then figured out that Olivia had gone to the car in the parking lot to get something, and went to give her the good news. It was so wonderful to see the two of them coming back to the site with smiles all around. They had just celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary last week, what a blast!
In Olivia’s Words:
Yesterday, Tim gave me his wedding ring to hold in my purse while he went in the ocean, along with his keys, watch and phone. When we were getting ready to leave, I thought he said let me get my things. But it turns out he only wanted his keys. I pulled out all his things including his ring and thought he took all his things. Until that evening when I was in bed and he was getting ready to go to work and he asked me for his ring…. **Gasp*** what do you mean? I gave it to you at the beach…. so his platinum Tiffany ring was left somewhere in Will Roger’s State Beach…. In stepped Steve Smith from theringfinders.com. I called him at noon after I conducted a search for metal detectors. He was worried that it was a day later and after the clean up of the beach. But he said not to lose hope. I never lose hope. It’s a strength and a weakness I suffer with. But guess what, after only 1.5 hours the impossible happened and he found the ring!!!!! Thanks Steve!

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, 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.
