I got a late night call from Lena, a student at UCSB. She had been out for a walk on the beach below the bluffs in the evening when she noticed her two rings were missing off her fingers. She was sure she had them the hour prior so the hunt was on but it was dark, the tide was coming up and she needed someone who was good at using a metal detector. So she did the only thing she could, she called Dave The RingFinder.
Since it was late I told her I would get out there first thing in the morning and recover the rings. She had a general idea of the location so she sent me a pin and as the sun was coming up in Santa Barbara, I was on the campus of UCSB walking down the stairs to the beach. The beach here is not very wide and much of what was dry sand the evening before was now wet sand. I began to grid the area. After covering the area she thought they might be in I expanded my search. I knew that they would likely be near one another so I was listening for two beeps instead of one. On my second pass I got the sounds I had been waiting for. 3 scoops, two rings! Another recovery for Dave The RingFinder!
