Ed called me last week about a lost ring that he believed had occurred at his worksite. Ed runs a drilling company and it was while he was fixing one of the rigs he believed that his ring had fallen off. He asked me if I could help find his ring and of course I said I would. The only issue I had was that his worksite was littered with pieces of scrap metal as he and his team are constantly fabricating materials as they fix and prepare the drilling rigs. I told him I would bring my magnet sweeper so we could pull as much of the junk metal out of the search areas.

I met him today at the site and Ed explained where he thought the ring had gone missing. The only thing that made sense is that the ring had come off and he had to have stepped on it and smashed it into the dirt because the material was a combination of dirt and road base. While Ed was sweeping the area for junk metal I got about detecting it. I began to grid the area going slowly so as not miss anything but to also let my Minelab Manticore do it’s job of separating targets. After about 5 minutes I got a nice solid tone just below the surface and I took my pinpointer and located the target and began to scrape away the dirt and when I did Ed’s ring appeared!

Late last night I got a text from Steve who was camping at ThorneHill Broome Beach just north of Malibu. He and his wife had been stargazing on the sand when he went to get up and as he did his platinum ring fell off and buried itself in the dry sand. It was late, it was dark and searching was futile so Steve did the next best thing and searched the internet and found Dave The RingFinder. I messaged him back that I would be there bright and early the next morning and get his ring back to him so he could enjoy the rest of his camping stay.

I met Steve at 6:45am at the picnic table area where the loss occurred. The problem of finding his ring became apparent almost immediately in that picnic tables at beaches in Southern California are loaded with every bit of metal trash there is. Pull-tabs, rusty bottle caps, chunks of aluminum foil and items burned from fires long ago where all throughout the sand where the ring was lost. This was going to be hunt where I needed to eliminate as much trash as possible so I could actually hear his ring. Scoop after scoop of metal junk came out and finally I had the ability to listen for his ring and within a minute or two I got the sound I was looking for and Steve’s ring was in my scoop and going back to him! Another ring saved in Malibu by Dave The RingFinder.

I got a call Wednesday afternoon from Valerie who was was vacationing in the Los Angles area from Taos New Mexico. Her family was spending the day at Zuma Beach when her husband Steve accidentally dropped his platinum wedding ring. He had taken it off to put sunscreen on his face and he placed it in his lap while he was sitting for safe keeping. As it often happens, Steve forgot about his ring and went about enjoying the water and the sun. When he realized what had happened they all kind of panicked and began frantically sifting through the sand. After no luck Valerie turned to the internet and found Dave The RingFinder and gave me a call.

They shared that I was coming to the folks nearby who were helping in the search and they said they knew of me from a viral Instagram video from last year where I found a local rap artists gold grill in the ocean. They felt confident that the ring would be coming back to Taos with them. I got there and got the story and began to grid out the area and on my first pass got the sound and ID I was looking for on my Minelab Manticore and scooped up Steve’s ring! Another win for Dave The RingFinder at Zuma Beach in Malibu!
