Ebrahim called explaining how he had lost his car key in the ivy at his apartment complex. We arranged to meet the next day knowing that if he was unable to find it, it wasn’t likely to be found by someone not knowing it was there.

When I got there Ebrahim took me over to the site of the loss, and he told me how it occured. It happened on the stairs up to his apartment, and the emergency key that was in his fob bounced out when it hit the step after being dropped. It then went into the ivy below. He found the fob, but was unable to find the key. I could see where he had been searching, and went over the area myself with the detector. I then had to start working out from his search area, and about 12 inches from where he had been searching I found his key. Ebrahim came over, and was relieved to have it back.

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

I was called by Joe to help him to find his platinum wedding ring that he lost while hiking Glendora trail. He was cleaning up after his dog did his business on the trail and lost his wedding ring when he was flinging dust off his hands. I met him on Saturday afternoon at Starbucks and followed him  to the trail head in Glendora. We hiked up a steep slope for about 15 minutes and got to the first of 3 possible sights where the lost could had taken place, after a thorough searched with the metal detector of the first 2 sights, and in the bushes on the side of the trail, we hiked a little further to the last location. A few swings later, and I heard a good strong signal, and there was a Joe’s ring under some dirt. He was happy to have his ring back to his finger, and I was happy to make it down the steep trail without falling and The end of another successful search.

LOST GOLD & DIAMOND RING FOUND & RETURNED AT HUNTINGTON BEACH

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

I got a text Sunday morning from Bill who told me he lost his gold and diamond wedding ring in the ocean on Saturday afternoon at Huntington Beach . I called him right away to get the details. He was visiting from New Jersey he was in the ocean with his wife about waist deep, when a wave knocked her off balance when she grabbed for his hand to avoid falling, his ring slipped off his finger and into the surf, another wave came along and covered up the ring which prevented him from retrieving it. After the whole family searched for the ring with no luck. He texted me. We arranged to meet at 6 am on Monday morning at low tide, with the best chances of finding the ring. I got up at 3 am, so I could get ready and leave early to beat the morning rush hour traffic. I arrived before 5 am. It was still dark out, but I walked onto the beach to the spot Bill had described and began my grid search. I hunted for almost 2 hours with no luck. I walked back to my car to grab my phone and touched base with Bill. He was only 20 minutes away, I waited in the parking lot till he arrived, when Bill and his wife met me in the parking lot, we walked out to the beach together, so they could narrow down the location of the loss. In less than 25 minutes, I got a good signal and dug 3 scoops and there was Bill’s sparkly gold ring. They were ecstatic to have the ring back with lots of emotion and hugs. They never thought they would see his ring again, but they entrusted me with the task. I was happy to come through for them. They were such incredibly nice people. I was happy to be able to reunite them with their sentimental wedding ring. They were so nice, they took me for a delicious breakfast before my long drive home.
