Necklace lost at Mission Bay found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Kitty was visiting here and spent the last day of her vacation at the beach. She took off her special necklace with attached pendant, that was given to her from her grandmother, to apply some lotion. Well, you know the rest, it ended up in the dry sand where it seemed to completely disappear. After searching online, trying to contact some people in vain, talking with a few, including my fellow ring finding buddy Curtis just north of me. He told her that I was closer and could probably get on site quicker, since she had to get to the airport to catch her flight. Being Father’s day, a Sunday, summer time, and a hot sunny day (at least at my house), traffic and parking can make a 20 minute drive turn into an hour or more. My wife came with me in case she had to circle for a while if it came to that.  As luck would have it, the weather at the beach had turned a bit cool and overcast, so, lots of folks were leaving the beach area and allowed us to get there quickly and find a parking spot close by.  We met Kitty at the search area and got the story of the lost necklace. Not a huge area, maybe 20′ X 30′, but, she had no feeling as to the most likely spot. I decided to start at the north most end and work my way south. First target on my first pass was promising, but, not knowing what this was actually going to read on the detector, I would be investigating every signal. Success! A gold chain with it’s pendant came to light. An emotional Kitty gave us both a big hug and tearful thank you. A pleasure to meet you, glad you could make your flight, and thank you for the reward.

I was contacted by Holly late one evening because she had lost a couple of rings earlier that day. She and her family had been at the beach when they were lost, and she wondered if I would be able to do a search maybe in the morning. I know that this beach is cleaned by machines daily, so I urged a search right away. She was unable to meet me there because she and her family had left the beach already, and her husband had gone to the Dodger game. I let her know that I would do the search if they were able to pin point the area of the loss using a satellite image, which they did.

I got to the beach about 9:00 PM, and began my search. I had the general area, but knew that because they were not there to show me their exact location, I had to make sure to cover more area to ensure a complete search. I started low on the beach and worked a grid up going out of the boundaries that were sent. I took my time to be sure I covered every inch of sand. After searching for about 45 minutes I found her engagement ring, and called her to be sure it was the one. I then proceeded to look for the other ring searching further up the beach, but was unable to find it. Holly let me know that I found the one that meant the most to her, which made me happy. We picked a place for the return, and I got to meet Holly and her family. It was truly a pleasure to have been able to help her with her loss.

Wedding Band Lost On Topsail Beach Found After Sunset By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Bob is an avid surfer.  His family was spending time at a Topsail Beach, NC beach house.  Beach chairs were set up just below the home and Bob decided to take the paddle board out in the surf.  He removed his wedding band (one day before his anniversary) and placed it in the beach chair pocket.  Before Bob returned, his son started to gather up the chairs and umbrella from the beach.  He wasn’t aware his fathers ring was in one of the chairs.  When they realized what happened a search began and Bob’s daughter-in-law found my service and called for help.  She stated they had to be out of the rental by 10am the next day.  I loaded my gear and started my 60 mile drive.  It was dark when I arrived and Bob’s family was very smart to mark the location of where the umbrella was placed and told me all chairs where North of that spot.  After a few passes I received a very loud signal.  I dropped to a knee and my pinpointer sang out the location of Bob’s ring.  Since it was dark during the recovery, we took photographs on the rental house back porch.  I remember Bob saying « It took you longer to grab your gear than it did to find the ring »

Crab Grab In Beufort, NC Results in Lost Class Ring, Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Wilson was spending time at a Beaufort, NC Air BnB and decided to try digging for crabs in the muddy marsh along a small dock that lead to a very narrow channel.  The following day, he noticed his ring was missing.  He was not sure where it was lost but used some common sense.  He had mentioned that he believed it was in the marsh, or the yard but wasn’t sure.  I told Wilson I would search the first thing in the morning, as he texted me in the afternoon, too late to make it out there and I wanted to be sure the landowner or tenants were aware of me arriving.  Wilson trusted me with searching without him there as he would not be able to receive the class ring until Friday.  In the early morning of Wednesday June 12th I headed toward the mucky marsh.  Of course, I picked the wrong side of the pier to start searching and after hunting the right side, I started my search on the left.  After about 10 aluminum can signals, my Minelab Equinox 800 received a screaming 18 signal within arms reach of the pier.  I even said out loud « Oh please, please, please »  and started to dig using my pinpointer to direct me to the metal signal, up from the black mud came Wilson’s class ring!  He is a recent engineering graduate and was thankful the ring from his mother was back in his possession once again!  I thank Wilson for trusting Crystal Coast Ring Finders with finding and Returning his sentimental ring.

Dunedin Ring Finder   lostringdunedin.com

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

My wife and I recently were in Texas for about six weeks for the birth of our second grandson. I received several messages from individuals who had lost jewelry in the water at Honeymoon Island. Because I knew I would not be returning for several more weeks, I needed to call upon some experienced, trustworthy detectorists to conduct searches for these lost items as soon as possible and before they were found by someone who would not return them.

Adriacely contacted me to say that her husband Wil had lost a gold necklace with a large gold pendant given to him by his grandfather. Mitchell messaged that he had felt his white gold wedding ring slip off of his hand while he was paddleboarding. Tampa Ring Finder Jason Connolly and Scott Carlson of Pinellas County Florida Ring Recovery agreed to search for both items. After water searches by both, Scott (who had previously found and returned another necklace I had searched for) recovered and returned Wil’s gold necklace and Jason was able to find Mitchell’s wedding ring!

Adriacely and Wil, so very happy that Scott was able to find your necklace. Mitchell, it’s nice to see that wedding band back on your finger courtesy of Jason’s recovery efforts. Scott and Jason, thank you for your outstanding work done in these difficult water recoveries. And thank you for trusting the Dunedin Ring Finder to help you find your lost jewelry!

Trishla contacted me about her lost ring. She had been at Venice Beach, and had lost it from the tent they had set up. Her friend not knowing she had removed the ring and put it in the tent, picked the tent up, and shook it out when they were ready to leave for the day. They stayed there, and I let them know I would come as soon as possible.

When I got there It took a couple of minutes to find them, and I made my way over. They explained the way the ring was lost, and showed me the possible area. I began my search and worked out into the surrounding area. I made about 5 passes in my grid when I got a real nice signal, dug, and had Trishla’s ring in the scoop. I brought it out and showed her, and she immediately became emotional. That is when they told me that ring was given to her by her mother when she was about 9 years old, and it had a profound special meaning to her. I was glad to have reunited Trishla with such a precious keepsake.

Wedding Ring Lost In The Surf Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

It was the beginning of a family vacation at Emerald Isle, North Carolina.  Adam was throwing a football in the shallow waters.  When he was done, he noticed his wedding ring was no longer on his finger.  His mother-in-law remembered reading a story about a Ring Finder in Florida and began an online search that brought up The Ring Finders directory.  She messaged me and I gathered my gear to head their way.

Adam wasn’t sure exactly when or where it happened.  He did know the boundaries of where he was in the water.  The tide was coming back in and I knew I had to work somewhat quickly.  Water searches are extremely slow because of trying to move the detector coil through the water and wave currents.  I think they may have started to have doubts of  his ring being found the same day.  My second target barked out a 13 on the Minelab Equinox 800 and it actually made me smile.  In one scoop I had Adam’s ring.

Now their vacation can resume normally and I hope they have the best one ever!

I received a contact from Elizabeth who was calling for her friend Caroline who had lost a ring. They let me know that the loss happened the same day, which made the possibility of a recovery very good, so I let them know I would come as soon as I could.

When I got there I had to wait a bit for them, and when they arrived we walked immediately down to the spot where they believed the loss occurred. Caroline explained to me that the ring she lost was a silver class ring that meant a lot to her. They explained that they had been using sifters to find the ring, but to no avail. I began my search in the area they had been searching, and about halfway through the area I received a good signal, dug, and had a ring in the scoop. I waved coil over the hole again, and there was another signal. I dug, and had two rings in the scoop. I was kind of dumbfounded. I waved the coil over the hole again, and got another signal, dug and another ring. I went over the hole again, and another ring. I walked over to Caroline with 5 rings in my hand, and asked, « Didn’t you just lose one ring and opened my hand. She and her friend Elizabeth were amazed, and exclaimed, « I can’t believe it, you found all of them. » Caroline had lost all 5 rings, and was not too sure any would be found, but was hoping for the recovery of her class ring. Well I was happy to be able to find them all for her, and to make her day.

Ring lost at La Jolla Shores found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Nouhrra spent the whole day at La Jolla Shores and when she got back to the car, she realized a precious ring given to her by her mother, was missing off her finger. Since she had been in many areas that day and didn’t feel it come off, there was no way to know where to look. A friend of hers contacted me for help. They couldn’t stay and show me all the areas where Nouhrra had been, but, they sent me a couple of videos of two of the areas in the dry sand. The ring could have been lost in a grass area too, as well as the parking lot. When I got to the beach, I started to eliminate each area one by one. I started with the dry sand area shown in the video. No good there, so, off to the path she had taken to the grass area, and then the grass area itself. Nothing turned up after 4 hours of searching, so, I had to break the bad news that it just wasn’t in those areas, or, it may have been found by someone else. I asked for a photo to keep on file in case it turned up. I always check with fellow detecting club members and others I know that detect that area on rings that I haven’t been able to find. I received the photo, but, it didn’t match the description they gave me. I was assured that the photo was correct, so, I kept it even though it was a bit blurry. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I’m back at that beach for fun and detecting a nearby area. Well, right up against the sea wall, I get a sketchy signal. With the rebar inside the wall, any repeatable signal is worth investigating, so, in went the scoop, and out came a ring that looked sort of familiar to me. When I got home I went through my recent messages and came across the « lost and not found » ring. With the poor photo, I was still uncertain it was the exact one. A few more texts, questions back and forth, and another photo that showed the ring more clearly, confirmed that it was the one Nouhrra lost. A pleasure to meet you Nouhrra and thank you for the reward.

Key Fob Lost In Standish, Maine Found Visually, While Searching With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

On Saturday morning , May 25th, 2024, I received the following voicemail
“Yeah, my name is Stephanie. I called you yesterday but I’m not sure that I actually got the right number because the number that comes up on my phone is a six. Six number. I’ve lost a Key fob in Standish, probably about a half an hour from Saco. I know it’s a holiday weekend, so maybe this isn’t possible but if you could Let me know if it’s a possibility for us to get together I’d appreciate it you can text me, at your convenience. My number is 2 0 7- ***-**** .
Thanks bye-bye…”

I was driving back from Portland, but immediately called Stephanie back. I told Stephanie that I did not receive her voicemail, from the previous day, but that I would certainly be able to help her. It was now approximately 9:30am and I told Stephanie I would be there at approximately 11:00am, just needing to get to my home, in Saco, Maine and pick up my Metal Detecting equipment and drive to Standish, a suburb of Portland, Maine and Windham, Maine.
I arrived at the location, where the Key Fob had been lost, at 11:20am. Stephanie and her husband Tom, arrived 5 minutes later. Stephanie explained that 4 days earlier she had driven to this location and parked next to the walking and ATV trail. Shen then proceeded to walk down the road, stopping at certain locations, on both sides, of the road, to view and smell the many flowers. When she finished her walk, she noticed the Key Fob was no longer, in her pocket. She retraced her steps, on both sides of the road, including down in the ditch, along rock walls, in areas she had traversed, to see the flowers. She could not find the key fob. She then walked 3 miles home and then back to the car, with the spare key fob. Over the next few days, Stephanie returned and searched the area again, this time, getting down into the ditch and searching through the many leaves and brush. Still not successful, Stephanie was telling a friend what had happened and the friend told her to contact me, The Ring Finders of Maine.

Stephanie and Tom took me a few steps up the road, to where Stephanie thought the key fob, may be. It was down, in the ditch and covered with leaves and twigs. As I was searching, I was finding the usual road side trash, of bottle caps, vape pens and cans, but no key fob. As I came out of the ditch, I was walking at the top of the ditch and searching along the path, Stephanie had walked, days earlier. Stephanie was visually searching near me and her husband, Tom was visually searching, about 75 feet ahead of us. I was still only finding road side trash, when we heard Tom yell out to Stephanie to come meet him, up ahead. I continued my search and saw Stephanie and Tom, walking back to me. When they reached me, they showed me the key fob. TOM HAD FOUND THE KEY FOB, while visually searching, about 75 feet, up the road. Nothing like dual optical scanners (Eyes 👀) to successfully find the key fob. Tom had left the road side and saw them, laying next to a rock wall, approximately 10-15 feet from the road. Outstanding job Tom and he was then rewarded with a big kiss.
Another team effort, in locating Stephanie’s key fob. It may not have been found by a Metal Detector but Stephanie doesn’t care. She has it back and didn’t need to replace her Key Fob , at a cost of $325.00. We all left, very happy. And great day and story for my “Book of Smiles”
