Swift Recovery: Expert Metal Detection Service Reclaims Lost Engagement Ring at Castaic lake Lower Lagoon


Got a call today from Barbara, she was pretty upset after losing her beautiful wedding. We talked for a bit and determined it must be right around her car in the driveway, hiding somewhere in the small stones in the driveway. I told her not to move the car, and don’t walk around in the stones which could cause possible damage to her ring. After just a short while the ring was back on her finger.

While metal detecting at one of my favorite honey holes, I discovered this silver class ring. After a quick online search I was able to locate the owner and made arrangements to mail her class ring back to her. I found out her class ring had been lost for about a month. She was devastated when she lost it. She was so happy and appreciative to have it back in her possession. She thought she had lost it forever.
If I can, even if I don’t get a call to find someone’s lost item, I do my best to try and reunite it with the rightful owner. Being honest, having integrity and doing the right thing has its greater rewards.
“DIG IT ALL, SAVE SOME RINGS & BURY THE DRAMA”

Seals, sharks and sand were all in their place, but Connor’s new wedding band was not. It had slipped from his ring finger as he rinsed off his hands in the waters of Lighthouse Beach. He and his wife reached out to Luke, another RingFinder, for help in recovering his ring. Luke was unable to leave work, so he called me to help in finding Connor’s ring. I made arrangements with Connor to meet up just before low tide to search for the ring. I had planned to detect a few freshwater beaches as many of the local saltwater beaches were closed to swimming due to the presence of Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. Leighton, who is also a RingFinder, would also join in on the search. It is great working as a team, it also helps in the probability of finding the lost treasure.
The four of us met up for the walk to the area where Connor had spent many previous visits over the past several years. Christina was to stand at the edge of the water where Connor had rinsed his hands. Connor stood high on the sand where he had had been sitting. The area between the newlyweds set up an area for the search as the exact moment of loss was not known. Leighton and I now started the search. First the sand and slope would be searched. Then the water would be last as sharks were known to prowl the area. That is why we saved it for last and would be very aware of anything lurking in the water.
Gridding the dry and wet sand only had one hidden pull tab that was found. We headed onto the steep slope and into the water where the sharks have been seen and the ring was most likely waiting to be found. My first target was the head of a metal fishing lure, all that had not rusted away. The second was the ring. It was looking very shiny and in perfect condition. I left it in the scoop and headed up the beach’s slope to the area Connor and his wife were standing. What a joyful reunion it was seeing the ring replaced onto Connor’s ring finger.
It was now time for the half mile walk back to the parking lot. After the exchange of a few more Thank Yous, other information and picture taking before it was off to dinner and another night of celebration for Connor and Christina. The honeymoon was back on.
Got a call from Mike, his son lost his cross in Lavallette NJ (OB3) while doing lifeguard exercises yesterday morning when the chain it was on broke. I told him to mark the location on his cell phone and I would get back to him later. This cross had great sentimental value as it was given to him by his grandmother a few years back. It will now be back on his chain thanks to their quick phone call, and precise mark of the location. Special thank you for keeping our swimmers safe.

Melissa gave me a call and told me that her gold ring dropped in the sand in Longport, New Jersey. She explained that it had fallen when she went to get ice cream. I was a few minutes away in Ocean City, NJ and arrived shortly after. I started the search with my metal detector it was found within minutes. Melissa was happy to have the ring back on her finger.

Got a call today from Justin. He was at the beach in Holgate NJ (LBI) with his fiancé, Samantha. After setting up their chairs and umbrella, Sam took off her shorts, placed them with her stuff, and took a walk down by the water. It was then she realized her beautiful platinum engagement ring was gone. She quickly went back and looked in her pocket where she had placed it when applying sun block, back by at the car, before heading to the beach. It was not there and she was devastated. They contacted me, and after a short conversation we decided to do the recovery. I cleared the area of a few bottle caps, then pow!!! the low platinum signal I was looking for. They were amazed I had found it. This one was SUPER special, they are getting married next month, and now have the ring back for the ceremony



We got a call today from a gentleman who was inquiring about our services, said he lost 3 rings in his apartment complex common area. Something did not sound right about his story so I inquired further, letting him know that 50% of our business is from people who throw their rings, primarily women. Letting him know I was not here to judge anyone, but that we just needed the facts so we could find the rings.
I arrived within the hour and met the young man, he ask me not to discuss the thrown rings with his wife as she was embarressed. I assured him that I would be very discrete. I began my search by scanning the open areas between the bushes where an extreme amount of sticker vines intertwined in the bushes. Having cleared the open areas I scanned the bushes themselves going all around the bushes. But still no luck. I have to then begin pushing my ATPro Detector into the bushes as far down as possible. I then began removing all the major surface trash(tons of it). Finally, I spotted a glint of gold between the hard stalks of the bushes… so the first of 3 rings were found.
Continuing on, I was on my knees (thank God for good Knee Pads), using my Garrett Pinpointer, and began searching by hand, pushing my pinpointer into the bushes. My arms were severely scratched up and bleeding (looked a lot worst than it really was), Then I found the Diamond Ring… only one more to go. I searched and searched, it was 102 degrees and the customers were watching my every move.
I was nearly ready to quit but the client had rented an ACE250 and he began searching as well, so I continued. There was a 4-5 ft drop-off down to a grassy area next to a sidewalk, then more grass and a pond. The customer drop down to the lower grassy area to check there, based on the small stature of the lady who threw the rings, I did not really think she could throw a thin band gold ring that far. When all of a sudden her husband hollers « I found it », it was actually his ring which was much heavier and had flown down to the grassy area.
We never care who finds the rings, we just want them to get them found.
So the lesson here is to ask for pictures of the missing rings before your search…

Mike gave me a call yesterday about his wife’s lost wedding band. The couple was on the beach in Avalon, NJ when Carly’s engagement ring and wedding band flew off her finger into the sand while applying sunscreen. They found the engagement ring but could not find the band. Mike called me and I met them shortly after to start the search. After a few swing of the metal detector, the ring was back on her finger.
