Here’s a real recent success story from Ventura Harbor:I received a call on Sunday afternoon from George, who was heartbroken after losing his wedding ring the day before at Ventura Harbor. His family had spent time in two spots: the grassy area between Island Packers and the restaurants, and the beach across the street. The ring vanished sometime that morning to afternoon.I headed out at sunrise to grid the northwest quadrant of the grass—where George thought it was most likely lost. After an hour and a half of careful searching and finding only loose change, the ring still hadn’t turned up. I called George for more details on the beach location, and he mentioned struggling to set up a canvas canopy by burying the poles in the sand. That’s when it clicked—the ring likely slipped off during that exact moment!
The beach stretched about 300 yards, but with George’s directions, I started sweeping the targeted area. Just 10 minutes in, my Minelab Manticore hit a solid signal. I dug with my CKG scoop—and out came George’s beautiful gold wedding ring! I called him immediately with the great news and arranged a quick drop-off at his house. Another successful lost ring recovery at Ventura Harbor Beach by Dave The RingFinder!

It was already dark when I received Jason’s call. He was at the beach with friends having fun when he noticed his ring missing from his finger. He wanted to know if I could help, and I let him know I would leave immediately to help find his ring. He said he and his friends would meet me there.

I got there in the dark, and began walking down the beach to where they said they had been. When I got there no one was there, so I called him to find out if he was around, and he let me know they were on the way. When they arrived he showed me how he had jumped from the lifeguard tower, and when he landed his ring was gone. I began my search where he had showed me, but found nothing. So I began to work out of the area. Then after about 5 more minutes I had his ring, and handed it back to him. It was a ring that was placed on his finger when he was a baby, that’s why it was split. Jason was very happy to have back.

Olivia called letting me know she had lost a bracelet in the sand at a private beach club while at a party the night before. There had been a lot of activity at the party, so she was unaware the bracelet was gone until later that night. We arranged a time to do the search, and she obtained permission for me to come and help her.

She took me to the area of the loss when I arrived, and showed me where she believed the bracelet might be. It was a good sized area that would have to be meticulously gone over with my detector. I worked a tight grid making sure I covered every inch of sand, but not find the bracelet. I then began to expand the search area when I got a good signal, dug, and had her bracelet. She was happy to have it back, and it made for a very productive day.

When Lucy called saying she had lost her earring on a State campus, I made sure she understood that she would have to get permission for me to come and do a search there. She told me that she had already taken care of that issue, so I left right away.

Lucy took me to the area of the loss which happened to be between two dorms, and behind one of them. I began my search in a fine grid pattern, pass by pass. Fortunately there was not a lot of metal in the grass, so the search wasn’t slowed down by constant stopping to check. I did the whole area between the buildings with no earring, then began on the area behind the dorm. As I was going along the edge of the sidewalk I got the silver tone I was looking for, pulled the pin pointer out, and found the earring. Lucy was surprised it ended up there, but was happy to have it back because the pair were a gift to her.

I received a call letting me know that Paul had lost his phone at the beach, and asked if I could help. They had remained in the area, so the chance of a recovery was high. I let him know I would come immediately.

When I got there the beach was crowded, so it took a few minutes to find him. Paul took me over to the site of the loss, and explained how he had been running in the sand when his phone came out of his pocket, and disappeared. There were people all around, and one would think the phone would have been seen going into the sand, but they searched for over an hour with no luck. I readied my machine, and within 3 minutes found his phone; they were mystified. I handed it back to him, and he was very happy. A great recovery.

John sent me a text explaining how he had been putting up his Christmas lights, and realized his wedding ring was missing. He searched the area very diligently with a small handheld metal detector, yet was unable to locate it. I let him know that I could come right away to help find it for him.

When I got to John’s house he met me at the spot of the loss, and explained how he believed it occurred. I turned on my detector, and John went back to the house allowing me to get right to work. I made a couple of sweeps with my coil, and then I had to move a metal stake to cover another area. Right then I received the signal I was looking for, put in my pin pointer, and had John’s ring in about 2 minutes. I called him, and asked, « how fast did he want this job done? » He could not believe it was found so quickly. It does make a big difference when a person has the right equipment, and is expert in using it. Needless to say John was ecstatic at having his ring recovered.

Alexis called informing me that he had been gardening in the green way next to the Metro train line when he noticed his ring missing from his finger. He spent some time looking but thought it might have been buried under the soil. He was hoping my detector would be able to find it, and I assured him that if it was there I would find it. We arranged a time, and I met him near the entrance to the green way.

Alexis took me over to the area, and showed me where he had been working. The area was not big, but there was a lot of loose soil where he had been working. I went over the area slowly finding some aluminum and foil, but no ring, so I began to go outside of the zone. Away from his work zone, and in some tall grass I got a good tone in the head phones. I looked down, and there was his ring. He was surprised it had gone over to that spot, but figured it had flipped off when he removed his glove. I made his day, and he was able to have his wedding ring of 43 years back on his finger again.
