Ring lost at Pacific Beach found

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

Joey was in town visiting from up in Napa, Ca. back in early July, and lost his 18K gold and 950 platinum wedding ring in the shallow surf at Pacific beach. I got the call a couple of days later and met him at the location. I gridded the entire area and then some, but, came up empty. I figured that someone else may have found it in the meantime as it’s a popular area to detect. I told Joey that I would keep it on my list and would check with fellow club members and others I know who detect that beach to see if they may have found it. Fast forward to the middle of August, and my friend Rick contacts me and says he may have found the ring I was looking for. We compared notes on the ring details, and it sure looked like a match, but, I went ahead and contacted Joey to get more info from him. Everything seemed to match, so, success! It turned out that Joey had some friends that were coming down to San Diego  and could pick up the ring instead of having to ship it. It just goes to show you that you should never give up, as a ring can turn up anytime in the future when the conditions are right. The ring is on it’s way home where it belongs. A big thank you to Rick for giving up such a nice ring, and thank you Joey for rewarding him.

Ring lost in San Diego found

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

Chelsea contacted me about a ring lost by the husband of her friend Rebecca 3 weeks ago, and most likely lost in a volleyball court. Rebecca had taken off the family heirloom ring to play the game, and gave the ring to her husband to place in his pocket for safe keeping. After the volleyball game, a game of basketball, and a walk in the park, they discovered the ring missing from his pocket. Not much I can do in a paved basketball court, so, the most likely place to start would be the volleyball area. Normally volleyball courts are detected often, so, it was not likely still there, but, always worth a try. In this case, the court in not in a high use area, so, the odds were getting a tad better. I also learned that a detector was already used to try and find the ring. The odds were now getting worse again until I found out it was just a cheap kiddie detector and the person using it didn’t have much experience using one. The odds went up a bit again. My wife and I met Chelsea at the site and she relayed as much info as she knew while we walked to the court. Once we got there, I noticed that even though it was a sand court, it was fairly hard packed. The odds just dropped again. Hopefully it was a lot more fluffy when the ring was lost as a ring wouldn’t sink into this surface very easily. I fired up my Equinox 900 and was hit with all sorts of interference signals when I started sweeping the coil across the sand. There must be all sorts of big metal down deep under the court. That actually improved the odds to someone with some detecting experience. A novice would be overwhelmed, but, I’ve learned a few things over the years about dealing with bad conditions. Knowing that the ring is a fairly recent loss, and should be relatively shallow, I mainly just turn the sensitivity way down to help eliminate the deep targets. Knowing what the ring should read and sound like also helps in this situation. I made it maybe 8 feet along one side of the net when I got my first likely signal. Sure enough, it was the ring we were hoping to find just two inches down. My understanding is that the ring is going to be a surprise reveal to Rebecca from her husband. A pleasure meeting you Chelsea. You’re a good friend for taking charge of this, and thank you for the reward.

Lost White Gold Engagement Ring-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from Leslie on Monday afternoon concerning a lost engagement ring.  She had found me with an internet search.  As it was late in the day I told her I could come the next day, becase it was about a two hour drive from where I’m located.  I got to the site at around 11:00 AM Central Time.   The couple had been pulling a boat and pulled off into the parking lot of an old convience store that had been converted into another use.  As they got out to adjust the boat straps, (the ring had been placed in the shallow tray under the door handle), the ring somehow went flying.  They looked on the pavement and didn’t see it, but there was a grass strip between the pavement and a shallow ditch, then more grass just beyond the ditch.  I started my search in the grass strip, then the ditch, then just beyond the ditch.  Being this had been a convience store at one time I expected a lot of metal trash in the ground, and I was right.  She did have a metal detector that had been her grandfather’s, but was overwhelmed by the abundance of metal trash.  I searched slowly and methodically while listening for the white gold tone and looking for the target ID I typically get for white gold rings.  After searching the entire area, no ring.  Of course I found several pieces of foil.  I turned off my CTX detector, and was explaing the process, where I search the most likely area first, then expand the search area if the ring is not found, (a visual scan of the pavement was next).  At that time someone from the building, I’ll call him « Tom », came out and we explained what we were doing, and that a visual scan of the pavement was next.  He struck out towards the highway, and in around ten seconds I heard him call out, « is this it? »  He had found it around 10-12 feet from the edge of a busy highway!  The ring was intact, but had some minor damage where it looked as though it had been run over and stuck in the tire treads before dropping off just before the highway.  In a visual search, the more eyes the better.  All in all, another successful search!

Ring lost at La Jolla Shores found

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

James and family were visiting here from out of town, and spent the day at La Jolla shores. James called me to ask for help finding one of his wife’s three rings. Apparently, she had take them off to apply sunscreen and temporarily placed them between her lips. Once finished with the lotion, she reached up to grab the rings, but, they instead fell into the fluffy dry sand. They found two of them, but, the engagement ring eluded all their efforts. I fought the traffic and parking issues normal for a sunny summer afternoon and met James at the site.  It was a nice small area, and I mentioned to James that this might break my quickest recovery time of 10 seconds. Sure enough, after 3 swings and 8 seconds, I got the perfect signal on my Equinox 900, looked down, and could see part of the ring without even having to dig for it. I pointed it out to James and let him pluck it from it’s sandy bed. A pleasure to meet you all, and thank you for the reward.

Chelsea lost her engagement ring, wedding band and gold ring in the sand while in Margate, NJ. Before putting sunscreen on her child, she placed the rings on top of her cell phone. She forgot to put them back on and didn’t realize she didn’t have them until she got home. The wedding set was extra special because it was custom-made for her by her father’s friend who was a jeweler.

 

Her friend Katie reached out to me to help search and I was given the approximate location where the family sat. I had to circle out farther with the metal detector and eventually hit the targets. We were able to FaceTime with Chelsea to surprise her. She was elated they were found!

Malynna and her friends stopped at The Point in Sommers Point, NJ while in town from LA. While at the beach bar, she felt her engagement ring slip off her finger and drop in the sand. She and her friends searched the area but couldn’t find it, so they called me to help. Time was of the essence because they were heading home to LA the next day. I met Malynna and her friends at the bar and came up with the plan. The search started by removing all the trash signals from the sand. I did this while trying to listen for the tone over the loud music. After I did an initial search, I went over the area again with the metal detector and was able to get the signal I was looking for. It was a relief felt by all to find the lost engagement ring. They were now able to return home to Los Angeles the next day on a happy note!

Ring lost in Coronado found

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

Maria was at a Coronado park enjoying the day, then decided to go to the beach next door. She took off her ring and stashed it in a pocket. In gathering up her gear, the ring must have fallen out somewhere in the grass. She didn’t discover it was missing until she got home. A return and visual scan of the area didn’t result in finding the ring. An online search the next day brought Maria to TheRingFinders.com website and my contact info. Since Maria was at work when she called me, and couldn’t meet me to show me the search area, I had to use a photo and directions as to where she had been in the park. When I arrived, there were dozens of kids playing soccer in that area. I fired up the Equinox 900 and hit the fringes of the search area and worked into the main area as I was able. Lots of targets in this park, but, after a few passes, I heard that nice low tone and 20 I.D. number I expected. I looked down and there in plain sight was her ring. A pleasure to meet you Maria and thank you for the reward.

Patrick lost his iPhone on the beach the night before in Avalon, NJ. He and his friends went swimming and Patrick placed his phone down somewhere in the sand. When he returned from the ocean, he could not find the phone. He called his mom who was at a party in Chester County and someone mentioned to give me a call. I spoke to her and met Patrick and his friends on the beach shortly after.

Some of his friends thought it was just like the show Outer Banks. We were going to look for the Royal Merchant gold treasure. The boys sat and watched for about 45 minutes while I scanned the beach with the metal detector. The iPhone was found after a great signal! The treasure was returned.

Jeff started his morning early in Avalon, NJ with plans to go surfing. He placed his key fob in his towel on the beach before heading out for some waves. While out in the water, the beach rake accidentally moved his towel and also took his key fob with it.  He and his wife, Kristen, searched for a few hours with no luck, so they called me to help find it. I met them around 30 minutes later and gathered some information. Jeff explained where he placed the towel, so I started the search in the immediate area. I started with a 50-feet radius that didn’t produce any targets.  I then went to the dump pile of sand, but it wasn’t there either. The next step was to expand the search area.  I got a great signal approximately 175-feet away from where he placed the towel. It was the BMW key fob! The couple was relieved and was able to enjoy the rest of Memorial Day.
