I got a text late on July 3rd from Jen who was visiting the town of Goleta from Phoenix to visit family. They had made a trip up to Gaviota state beach and had been playing on the beach and in the water when Jen noticed her wedding ring was missing. She had been in 3 places while at the beach and she wasn’t sure which one was where it came off. One of these places was in the water as she had been playing with her kids in the shore break. She was concerned that her ring was lost for good as she and her family were leaving to go back to Phoenix in a few days and fortunately she found Dave The RingFinder after a quick search for lost ring recovery on Google.
I checked the tide table for when she lost it so I could see if the next low tide could help us out. There was a 0.0 at 7am so I told her I would head up there first thing in the morning. After leaving the house at 5:15am I arrived at just past 6:30am so I had an hour or so of search time before high tide started rolling back in. I went to the area she marked for me and began to grid perpendicular into the ocean. After about 20 minutes moving south I decided to try my luck going north and after about 10 minutes I finally got a signal that was worth digging on my Minelab Manticore. It took 3 scoops of my CKG scoop to remove it but when I sifted in the water Jen’s ring emerged from the sand! It was another shallow water ring recovery and another vacation saved by Dave The RingFinder.
