Maria called wanting to try and recover some items lost in the Altadena fire. There was one item she was most interested in recovering her mother had given her many years back, and it was a Gold coin that was made into a pendant. I did the search sifting out a large area where she believed everything must have gone. I found the pendant and very excitedly took it over to show her.

The total of finds for the day was :

  1. One large gold coin pendant
  2. 27 large silver coins
  3.  3 rings
  4.  1 chain

You can see by my picture, just how much this kind of work takes out of you. This was about 4 hours of straight sifting to find these items. Yet to see how emotional she was to have these back, made it all worthwhile.

Ninkey called to ask if I was available to help her search for items lost in her home in the Pacific Palisades fire. I let her know I was, and drove there to help her.

I got to work right where she thought everything went, and she was right on the spot. I was able to recover:

  1. 51 dollar coins
  2. 10 chains
  3. 11 pieces of silver flatware
  4. 1 cross
  5. 1 knife (which had a lot of sentimental value)
  6. 1 tooth fairy box with a little bear on it that had been her daughter’s
  7. Other miscellaneous items

I will have to say that doing these searches was a very emotionally draining experience with so much pain and loss.

Bill contacted me about doing a search at his property where his home had succumbed to the fire in January. He was most interested in finding his wife’s wedding and engagement rings. We arranged a day and time to meet, and I was able to go.

When I got there Bill was already at the property. I introduced myself, and began asking questions, wanting to know where the rings had been, and where he thought I should look. His wife was on the way, but we got started right away. Bill showed me the area where he remembered last seeing the jewelry box, and we ran an estimated area of the search. I donned my safety gear, and began moving the big stuff out of the way in order to get to finer debris. When Bill’s wife Lourdes arrived, she came over to say that I was looking in the wrong area, and that I should be looking on the other side of the room. She showed me where she believed the rings should be. and that’s where I began. It wasn’t that Bill was wrong because there was a jewelry box where he remembered, but what he didn’t know was that his wife put her rings elsewhere. Knowing where to look is very important in these searches. I began working through the debris shovelful by shovelful, and noticed that Bill and Lourdes had left. Not long after, I found the wedding ring and placed in a container. When they returned Lourdes came up and asked how things were going, and I showed her the ring I found. She got very excited and hopeful that the other ring would be found. About 15 minutes later I was able to find the engagement ring, which pretty much made their day. They had lost everything, but I was able to help them find a precious memory, and bring a little joy back in their lives.

I received a call from Michelle asking for help in searching her burned home, We agreed on a day to conduct the search.

When I arrived I could see the home was completely gutted. Michelle and her husband David met me, and explained that they, some fire fighters, and their friends had searched the site, and recovered most of what they were looking for with the exception of a few items. I began looking for one of the items, and then Michelle asked if I would redirect my attention to another area of the house where she had lost something of great sentimental value to her. It was a small bronze sculpture of the mythological Greek Goddess Athena’s helmet that she had had for many years that was associated with someone she admired. The previous searches turned up the head dress of the helmet, but not the helmet. She showed where it had been, so I began my search. After about 30 minutes of searching, a little rounded object no bigger than a tennis ball came out of the rubble. I picked it up, it was heavy, and formed. I turned it around and saw the shape, then called out to Michelle who got very excited that this memory was still intact. So very happy to be of help.

I got a call from Mark the other day to see if I could help him find his wife’s jewelry including her very sentimental diamond engagement ring and his high school class ring that they lost in the fire. We agreed to meet in a few days when he had permission to return to his home for the search, we drove up together on Saturday morning to look at the remains and figure out the a game plan, Mark’s wife was  kind enough to draw a map of the most likely the spots where her jewelry used to be. after an hour and a half of removing debris I started shoveling in to the sifting screen right away I started finding jewelry and coins, they must have been over 50 pieces of jewelry recovered  including marks high school gold class ring.   but still no engagement ring, I moved to another spot along the remains of the bedroom wall, after an hour I shoveled a big scoop of debris and ash and there it was as clear as day, shining up at us from the sifting screen, was his wife’s cherished diamond ring. He called his wife right away with the  good news.  By the end of the search I recovered at least 65 pieces of gold and silver  jewelry. and 150 silver and clad coins from Mark’s collection. We drove back to meet up with Mark’s wife and the look on her face, when she was reunited with her gold and diamond wedding ring, was priceless, she had tears of joy in her eyes, it was a pleasure to help a couple with  such a positive attitute and an unwavering will to persevere and survive after a tragedy. They had their health and their life to be thankful  for, and they look forward to their future together, they are truly a loving couple.
