Gabriella called, having lost a bracelet that meant a lot to her, in the sand at the beach earlier that day. It was getting late, so I decided to go quickly in order to get parking because the beach closes when the sun goes down.

Gabriella was not able to be there to show me the spot, but gave me enough information to put me in the area of the loss. When I got there I sent her a picture, and we were able to narrow the search area even more. I searched for about 15 minutes before I found the bracelet. It looked like someone might have stepped on it because it had been bent out of shape, but with no damage of any kind. We arranged to meet the next day for the return, and that is when she explained that the bracelet was given to her by her partner on their trip to Japan, and had a very deep sentimental meaning for her.

Olivia called me asking if I could help her. She had been at the beach with a friend. She wisely removed her jewelry to go into the water, and put them on her towel. What happened next was that her friend lifted the towel not knowing the jewelry was there, and they were lost in the sand. I let her know I would leave right away for the search.

When I got to the beach Olivia was not there yet, so I began my search in the area described. It took about 5 minutes, and I had her bracelet, and both her earrings. I waited for her to get to the search site, and was able to give them all back at that time. She informed me that the earrings were a gift from her mother, which made them extra special. A great recovery!

I received a call from Eric wondering if I could come and help find his wife’s ring lost in the sand at the beach. I was available, and let him know that I could come immediately.

When I got to the beach Eric met me, as his wife had left already. He showed me where they believed the rings were lost, and how the loss occurred. I readied my equipment, and then began my search. Eric had stayed in the area, and kept it secure, so the search was pretty quick, and I was able to hand him his wife’s rings, which made for a happy ending to a nice day.

Maria contacted me about the loss of her house, and wondered if I would be available to help her find some missing items that were left behind. I let her know when I would be free for the search, and we arranged to meet at a local restaurant because her house was in a gated community.

When I arrived I really wasn’t expecting what I saw. The house was partially standing, and it was built with a steel infrastructure which was all over the place. She told me that one of the most important items to find was a diamond engagement ring that had been given to her by her husband who had passed at an early age. she showed me where she last believed it had been, but on the second floor which was now on the first floor. So I began to work. I found many parts of figurines with a couple intact. I also found a bunch of doll arms and legs. I used a reciprocating saw to remove some of the steel beams in order to get at some of the rubble underneath them, and began finding coins. I felt I had found the area where the ring would be, so I kept sifting. I worked that area until I was scraping the floor all over, but no ring. After 5 hours, I had 168 coins, numerous doll arms and legs, and 2 intact chains along with 4 chain fragments.

Maria asked if I could come back to look again in a different area, so we agreed on another day for the search. When I arrived, Maria was already shoveling rubble to be sifted, and I got right to work. I worked for another 3 hours, and we were able to find the ring she really wanted to find as well as 2 others, and 2 earrings. With all of these searches I find that the people I am helping are hurt, very hurt, but not broken. There is a deep resilience in their character that I admire.

I did come back a 3rd time, and was only able to find a few chain fragments.

Rolex Watch, Civil War Gun, and Class Ring Found in Palisades Burned Home

I received a call from Cliff who had lost his home in the Palisades Fire here in the Los Angeles area. His family had lost it all, but he wanted to try and find a watch that had been in his family for 4 generations, which had been handed down son to son, and he wanted to be able to do the same with his own son. We set a date and time to meet, as he had to get me through 2 National Guard checkpoints to get to his site.

When we arrived the property was like the many thousands all around, burned to the ground. He showed me where the ring had been, and there was anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of rubble in the area. I began working through the rubble with my sifter plodding on, shovel full after shovel full, not finding the watch. Cliff had a scheduled appointment, and had to leave, so I stayed another 1 1/2 hours trying to find the watch with no luck. I sent him a text letting him know I was unable to find the watch, and that I was leaving before the curfew. Right as I was getting ready to leave I spotted a class ring at the edge of the search area, on top of some rubble. I sent another text to Cliff letting him know this, and it buoyed his hope, so he asked if I would be able to come back again. He let me know also that there was a revolver he would like to find that had been from a distant relative who had used it in the Civil War.

When I arrived the second time I went right to work in the area I had worked before, continuing to expand the search zone one shovel full at a time. Then after about an hour, I took two shovels of rubble, and on top of the second one, I saw the watch. It was completely destroyed, a real sad ending for the search. When I brought it to Cliff, he said that at least it won’t haunt him if he did not find it, not knowing if it made it through the fire. Next we started moving some of the metal that was covering the area where the gun had been, and set to work removing the big pieces of rubble to try to get to the gun. As I lifted a piece of roofing tile I saw the gun, and held it up for Cliff. Once again, the fire had taken it’s toll. At least Cliff had closure being able to find those items which meant so much to him and his family.

I received a call from Michelle asking for help in searching her burned home, We agreed on a day to conduct the search.

When I arrived I could see the home was completely gutted. Michelle and her husband David met me, and explained that they, some fire fighters, and their friends had searched the site, and recovered most of what they were looking for with the exception of a few items. I began looking for one of the items, and then Michelle asked if I would redirect my attention to another area of the house where she had lost something of great sentimental value to her. It was a small bronze sculpture of the mythological Greek Goddess Athena’s helmet that she had had for many years that was associated with someone she admired. The previous searches turned up the head dress of the helmet, but not the helmet. She showed where it had been, so I began my search. After about 30 minutes of searching, a little rounded object no bigger than a tennis ball came out of the rubble. I picked it up, it was heavy, and formed. I turned it around and saw the shape, then called out to Michelle who got very excited that this memory was still intact. So very happy to be of help.

Chris contacted me about searching his home that had burned during the Eton/Altadena fire, we made arrangements to do the search.

When I arrived Chris and his wife Laura met me at our arranged meeting point, and they took me to their property. Driving through the area just makes my heart sink knowing how all of these people lost everything they had worked so hard for so rapidly. When we arrived they told me that the home was searched already by a Samaritan’s Purse team, but the wanted a more thorough search to insure everything that could be found was found. I searched 3 different areas, and was able to find 5 lumps of melted silver, one of Chris’ hand planes, a decorative anchor, and 5 small pieces of gold including a partial chain, and fully intact earring with gem. They were happy I was able to help, and I was thankful to be able to help as well.

I received a call from Marqus asking if I could help find his mother’s jewelry. Her home of 30 years had burned in the Altadena fire a couple of weeks ago, and although they had gone back looking 3 times, they were unable to find much of anything. He told me that she had a lot of jewelry, and really needed to find it. I let them know I was available to help them, so we arranged a time for us to meet at the site for the search.

We met at a local fast food restaurant, and then I followed Marqus and his mother to the site. Driving through the destruction was just surreal. It looked like a movie set, and made my heart drop to know that so many people lost so much of what they worked their lives for. So many memories, all gone so fast.

When we got to the house there wasn’t much. Marqus and his mother showed me where I should look for her jewelry, and so I began a meticulous search of each area they showed me. In the first area, where she said her best jewelry was, I found among other small items, a very large clump of melted gold that had formed around one of the bed legs. In another area where the silver was stored, I was able to find a lot of it (all melted), so much that it filled a basket. In the third area, I had to break apart a wall that had fallen in to access the last area, and there I found a whole bunch of somewhat intact jewelry, I think the wall may have protected it from completely melting down. I was able to fill a plastic container with all of that jewelry which included at least 7 watches, bracelets, rings, and necklaces. After a total of about 3 hours, I was able to help provide closure for Marqus’ mom. It was a very humbling day for me.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in Volley Ball Court at Manhattan Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

Renan contacted me right about sunset asking for help in finding his wedding ring. He had been playing volley ball when as he was striking the ball, his ring flew off of his finger. He, his wife, and friends searched for the ring, but were unable to find it. Also he was on vacation from Brazil, and was not cherishing the thought of leaving it in the USA when he returned home. I was available, and left right away.

When I arrived, it was already dark, but that is not a hindrance for a search at the beach. Renan took me over to the court, and showed me what he had done when striking the ball. I began by searching the most logical possible path the ring probably took when coming off of his hand. I searched just behind where he was standing, right where he was standing, and all the way to the other end of the court from where he was standing, and got nothing but a few pull tabs. At this time I decided to search the whole court, and 10 feet outside of it, searching both sides; nothing again. Now it was time to do a cross grid in order to insure I didn’t miss the ring because it was in a weird position. I began my cross grid on the side he was on originally, and when I got to the center of the court, which was behind and to his right (the ring was on the left hand) by 15 feet, I got a scratchy signal, dug, and scooped up a very thin gold ring. Renan’s friend came right over and identified the ring, and everyone rejoiced. He now can go home with his token of love for his wife of two years.

Meghan contacted me on December 22 regarding her lost ring. She had been on a volley ball court at the beach when it became lost, and because she was getting ready to travel, she was unable to meet me for the search. I let her know I would be able to help, but would need as much information as possible in order to find the ring. She agreed, and began to provide what I needed.

When I got to the beach, I found what I believed was the court to search, and began. I went over much of the court, and then decided to call Meghan to make sure I had everything correct. When we spoke I found that I had been searching the court next to the one she had been on, so I switched, and withing 5 minutes, I was able to let her know the ring was safe. She told me that she would be coming back after January 4th, so we met on the 8th for the return, This ring, made from a silver French Frank was to be her future wedding ring, so it had a great sentimental value for her. I was happy to help.
