I got a text Sunday afternoon from Chris who had been visiting from Texas and while vacationing at Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard had lost his wedding ring boogie boarding. Evidently he had just caught a sweet wave and got up to wave at this his family and off came his wedding ring into the surf. Thinking he still had a chance to find it he went out the next morning and searched the beach at low tide and came away empty handed. Chris shared his situation with a passer by on the beach and he suggested he find a guy who uses a metal detector and that he had heard of a guy who finds rings for people. He went home and found Dave The RingFinder on Chat GPT! Unfortunately Chris and his family had left Oxnard to visit family in Bakersfield and wouldn’t be returning so I was on my own. I explained to Chris that the only low tide decent enough in this cycle was the next morning at 6am and that I would go then. He gave me the area and unfortunately it was about 75 yards long by 25 wide so I had to move fast.
I got to the beach and began to move in and out of the water gridding perpendicular to the ocean. I had gone almost the entire distance south that he had mentioned when I decided to make a couple more passes before turning north to search. I had only dug two targets in that first hour so I began to theorize that most objects were buried deep. That being said on the next pass I got a solid 41 on the Minelab Manticore in about 6 inches of water and I began to scoop. And there it was, Chris’s wedding ring! It was going back to Texas after all!
