Ring lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Anais and family were visiting here from Spain and spent the day at the beach. Anais decided to try a bit of surfing, and left her wedding and engagement ring with a family member while she went into the water. Unfortunately, when she went to reclaim her rings, one of them was missing. All manner of searching came up empty and a call for help came to me after they searched online for a solution. Knowing the location, I wanted to get right on that search before someone else happened onto the ring. We agreed to meet at 11pm on the boardwalk close to the search area. Even though it had only been a few hours since the loss, the beach always looks different at night vs the day. Landmarks such as tents, cones, sand castles, etc. can disappear or be moved, so, it took a few minutes to get oriented and zero in on the spot. Once there, with their best guess as to where the X should be, I started a grid. After five minutes and only a couple of junk signals, I got a nice solid 28 on my Equinox 900. That sounded so good and I said that this is  likely it! Yup, after filtering out the sand and dead sea grass out of the scoop, A beautiful engagement ring was sparkling under my headlamp beam. I handed the ring to an emotional Anais who teared up, hugged me. and then cried with joy in her husband’s arms. A pleasure to meet you both, have a good resumption of your trip, and thank you for the reward.

James’s Story: A Lost Wedding Ring at Point Dume Beach
James’s urgent call came in recently about his wife’s lost wedding ring at Point Dume Beach in Malibu. A Saturday afternoon on Malibu’s bustling beaches—like Zuma Beach or Leo Carrillo State Beach—had turned stressful when the ring vanished in the sand. I promised swift action for lost ring recovery in Malibu, and soon I was weaving through the crowds to meet James. Luck (or divine intervention!) snagged me a parking spot near Point Dume, where he waited anxiously by the shore.
With my Equinox 900 metal detector in hand, I began the hunt. Malibu beaches can be a maze of metal trash, from Broad Beach to El Matador Beach, but I tuned out the clutter.

The thrill of returning a lost ring at Point Mugu Beach or Sycamore Cove Beach never gets old, and this recovery was pure joy.

Ring lost in San Diego found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

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)

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!

 

 

LOST GOLD RING OFF DOCK IN LITTLETON, NC………. FOUND!!!!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

After my last (silver) ring recovery in Mooresville, NC. I had a call that a man had lost his gold wedding ring in about 8-9 feet of water off the dock on Lake Gaston. He said he was trying to reach for a pool noodle when the ring just slid off into the water. I drove 3 hours to Lake Gaston and wasn’t able to retrieve it that night due to the dark and the storms that had just come through.

The next morning, I get up and make my way to their lake house again. This time the conditions were much better. I was able to get on the bottom and make my way towards where he had lost the ring. 3-5 targets later and I had his GOLD ring in hand. It took me about 15 mins to find the right spot he had lost it in.

I love this hobby that allows me to meet and help so many people out!

Gold Wedding Band Disappears Into Emerald Isle Beach Sand, Recovered

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Johnny’s family was enjoying their annual visit to Emerald Isle, NC.  A family tradition for many years. Johnny placed his wedding band in the chair before getting in the water and the chair was folded up. His ring was now missing.  After scouring the area in search for the lost ring,  lines were drawn in the sand to mark the area and Crystal Coast Ring Finders were called to assist in the recovery.  I arrived shortly afterwards and all metal objects were placed out of the way and the quick search began.  My first target seem suspicious and my pinpointer confirmed it was too deep to be the recently lost wedding band.  The second target was a strong positive signal and I told them I think I found it.  I placed my hand into the sand and pulled Johnny’s ring back to the surface.

Johnny told me they took a similar ring and dropped it into the sand to see what would happen and it buried itself with loose sand.

A metal detector made a huge difference but if you don’t know how to operate it, it’s best to save time and money hiring an expert.

West Dennis Beach Holds Lost Platinum Ring

Got a call from Rick Browne another Ring Finder Saturday evening. He asked me to join in a hunt for a lost Platinum Wedding band from the day before. I said of course I’ll join in. We met the next morning at his place, then met up with the owner (Alex) at the West Dennis beach. As usual, Rick & I took our approach and went at it. I had asked Alex to go into the water, and stand in the spot he believed it to have come off of his finger while playing football. He was trying to remember, but seemed as though things looked different to him today. Rick & I had grid an area about about 100 x 100 square foot = 10,000 square feet.

We were running out of area to search. I turned to see Rick looking at his machine, I said whats up? He replied with great sorrow, he replied my battery is dead. I said no worry I’ll keep looking for it. I broadened the search area,  Alex called in a lifeline to his brother. He helped in this recovery as best as he could. I kept searching, and in the process, I found two sterling rings that had been lost many moons ago. We were running out of more area now, It had been almost 3 hours of searching, and yet no Platinum Wedding band.

As I got closer to Alex I told him I think that’s about it buddy. He said he had waved the white flag and chocked it up as gone forever. All three of us were walking out of the water, I got a signal that I was sure it was it…. NO…. it was a Quarter this time. Something told me to turn right just a little and yes another signal… could it be? sounds good…I dug down one scoop and finally the Platinum wedding band was in my scoop. I looked up and said you are a very lucky man today.  Alex was running over to me, he couldn’t believe I got it after so long. He teared up, and said Thank You so much. Rick & I congratulated him, out of the water we went, mission completed. Lot’s of joyous comments on the way back to the truck. Alex was was so happy we didn’t give up easily… Persistence did pay off. Congratulations Alex… Glad we found it.

We made quick work of finding this one in Calgary.

Courtney was playing fetch with her dog outside their hotel. She felt it go and he heard it bounce. After looking for an hour, they contacted me. I was able to get the ring back on her finger within the hour. Good timing too as they were leaving for home that same day. Watch the video on YouTube.

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.
