Lost Ring in Sand at Laguna Beach,CA. .. Found and Returned

Rylan called asking help to find his silver ring that he had lost in the sand at Cresent Bay, Laguna Beach, CA. He had dropped it in the dry sand the night before and was on the beach trying to find it this morning.

Rylan told me what had happened. Then,  I asked him if it was possible for him to stay at the location till I could meet him. I only needed him for a couple minutes to get the general location. He had to be to work at 11:00 am which worked out well because I was only 20 minutes away.

When I got to the beach Rylan was standing at the spot where he thought the loss happened. I sent him on his way to work, telling him I would call him when I found the silver ring. Very important to Rylan as it was a gift from his girlfriend. It didn’t take long to find his ring, but it sometimes can go the other way when people aren’t sure when the ring was lost.

I was able to drop by Rylan’s work place to deliver his ring. It was just a few miles from where I live. You can see the smile on his face in the photo I took when we met before 12:00 pm.

Lost Silver Ring in Garden .. Los Angeles, CA. .. Found and Returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went on a ring call to a monastery in the hills of Los Angeles, CA. I was there to help Dave find a small silver ring that his mother in India have given him. Dave had been walking down a corridor when put his hands through his hair bringing his hands down to his side, he felt his ring slip from his finger. He heard it hit the cement one time possibly going in the lawn or some landscaping with woodchip ground cover.

It was a small area and should have been an easy search. After an hour searching with my small coil on my metal detector in all the obvious areas with no success, I brought out the trusty hand held detector which we call a pinpointer. I went down to my hands and knees to search through the plants, crevices and potted planters. 

It was getting frustrating because it was such a small area. I was running out places to search. Could the ring have rolled much further than we thought? As last resort I double checked the small plants in the garden. Yes, the third time is a charm. The small silver ring was lying right at the base of a small shrub. It may have been in the leaves of the shrub or I could have missed it the other two times with my detectors.

This was a very sentimental ring for Dave and I was happy to be able help him find it.

Lost Wedding Ring While Swimming at Huntington Harbour – Huntington Beach, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

David lost his wedding ring while swimming at Humbolt Beach a small inter bay beach in Huntington Harbour, Huntington Beach, CA. He posted his problem in the Huntington Beach Community Forum where someone suggested he try contacting me. 

After discussing his loss,  David said he could meet me that morning to show me the general location where he felt the ring come off his finger. I just needed him to point me in the right direction then he could leave to do the errands he had planned that day.

When I arrived there was already a guy detecting in the water. Evidently he had read the lost ring story in the Facebook community forum? I waited for him to get to the other end of the 75 yard wide beach. Then I went into four feet of water and dug two bottle caps. The third target was David’s Tungsten Carbide Wedding ring. I walked out of the water to my car, where I called David making arrangements to meet him a couple miles away.

I’m not sure if the other detector guy found what he was looking for?

Lost Gold and Diamond Wedding Ring at Beach .. San Clemente, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Payton and his wife, Madeline were at a local beach in San Clemente, CA. Madeline forgot to leave her rings at home, so she put the three rings in the zippered pocket of her beach chair.

As they were leaving Madeline remembered her rings when they were about 30 feet from where they had been sitting on the sand. She went to get her rings out of the pocket that was partially closed. Only two of the rings were there. The smallest gold ring had somehow fallen out. After not being able to find it in the sand they returned home not far from the beach.

Payton got on the internet and contacted me using TheRingFinders directory. I met him on the road above the beach entrance. When we walked to the beach, a lady walking towards us, ran up to me yelling RingFinder man. She gave me a big hug and told her friends that I had found her wedding ring a few months ago. I know it surprised Payton, he didn’t know me and wasn’t quite sure if my metal detector could find his wife’s small gold ring. 

When we got to the area of the loss there was two other people sitting there. I choose not to ask them to move but asked them if I could swing my detector close to them. Boom! within a few inches of the lady’s feet I got a nice tone from my detector and I dug the small gold ring as Payton watched. 

Another successful recovery and Payton immediately took a photo sent it to Madeline. We had only been on the beach a short time but the walk back to our cars was much more enjoyable than going to the location of the loss. It was a pleasure to help them find a ring that had so much sentimental meaning to both Madeline and Payton.

Lost Unique Silver Wedding Ring in the Sand .. Seal Beach, CA. .. Found and Returned to Owner

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Josh called me asking help finding his Silver Wedding Ring. He had lost in the sand at Seal Beach, CA. He wasn’t quite sure of where the ring fell out of his beach chair cupholder. Josh had walked 100 yards across the sand before remembering his ring. When he checked the beach chair the ring was not there.

He found me on TheRingFinders website and called. When I talked to Josh, I only asked two questions, was it in dry sand and could he meet me there in a half hour?

Josh was a little nervous that the ring had fallen out on the long walk across the sand. Lately,  I’ve noticed that the rings seem to fall out of the chair just after they pick up the chair. One more time we were lucky to find the ring within the first three 20 ft. of grid passes. I like finding silver, there is a definite high tone in my earphones which is different from gold and aluminum pull tabs.

I took photos of Josh and his unique David Yurman silver ring. It was another great reunion of a special ring with its owner.

I left my home, met Josh on the beach, found the ring and was back home in less than two hours. ( 15 miles each way) I can’t believe it. I love doing this. Josh was very grateful for how we put this search together with the help of the internet and TheRingFinders website.

Lost Wedding Ring Throwing Football .. Malibu, CA. .. Found in Sand

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

James and his family were camping at Leo Carillo State Beach in Malibu, CA. During the morning they went from the campgrounds to the beach about a quarter mile from their campsite.

James asked his father to hold on to his wedding ring when he went swimming in the ocean. While James was swimming his father was up on the dry sand throwing a football. He didn’t feel the ring come off but he was sure he had it on before throwing the football and it wasn’t on his finger when he finished.

The area was probably as large as a basketball ball court. I was sure that our chances of finding the Tungsten Carbide ring were good. It would just take some time. I set up my detector and decided to go down the center of the field and spiraling outward. 

After a short time I got a nice solid tone and dug James’s ring from the sand. James was surprised as most everyone in his family had said the ring is gone. They all believed it was impossible to find it in the mass of sand.

Once I gave the ring to James it was hard for him to give it back to me so I could take a photo for this blog story. This is the kind of reaction I get from people when something special has been found that they thought was lost forever. It was worth the long drive on a busy beach day to help James recover his special wedding band.

Lost Platinum Wedding Rings in Surf While Grunion Hunting .. Newport Beach, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Max and Cherry had read online about how to hunt for grunion on Southern California beaches. Grunions are small sardine sized fish that come up in the surf at nighttime high tide to lay their eggs in wet sand. A lot people think grunion hunting is a hoax. ( google search )

Max thought he should hold both his and Cherry’s platinum wedding rings for safe keeping. Both rings stayed on finger most the evening until he went to rinse the sand off his hands in the surf. He shook his wet hands off and both platinum rings went into to water.

Max called me and we met at the beach the next morning, eight hours after the loss happened. This could be easy if he could get me to the general location. At first Max was not quite sure of where they had been as it was dark when the arrived at the beach that evening.

As I started to grid search the high tide wet beach, after 20 minutes, Max came up to me suggesting that it may be the closer to the next lifeguard tower south. No problem, I could always return to the area I was grinding. 

General location is the key word, within about fifteen minutes I got the first signal and recovered the first ring. Then it was a mater of a few more swings of my search coil the other ring sounded off in my headphones. I marked a spot in the wet sand and asked Max to dig it by hand because I knew it was less than 3” deep. He had fun retrieving his own ring and both Max and Cherry were very excited and happy to have their wedding rings back They have only been married one month. So this wouldn’t have been a good way to start their marriage off.

Lost Gold and Diamond Wedding Ring Set in Ocean .. Newport Beach, CA. . Found with Metal Detector

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jasmine called me four hours after losing both her gold /diamond engagement and wedding ring set in waist deep water at Newport Beach, CA.  She was home now, 50 miles from the beach. Jasmine could barely talk with out crying. It happen at a high tide which gave us a chance to find the rings at the next low tide (4:30am).

As we talked I believed I knew exactly where she had been when the loss occurred. I tried to be realistic about our chances to find the rings. I told The we had a 50/50 chance to find the rings because of the ever changing sand conditions. I’m so glad she sent me a photo of the large rock she had been near when she felt the two rings slip off her finger.  I would have waisted my time going to the wrong location. My plan was to start the search an hour before they met me the next morning at 6:00am.

I had to walk down a hillside walkway as the beach parking isn’t open till 6:00am.  After finding the large rock ( half the size of a house), I started my grid now that it was low tide. Walk straight out on the north of the rock.Just as I got to ankle deep water I got my first signal. “Boom” the big 1.7 ct. diamond engagement ring. Three feet away another much fainter signal but it was a solid tone and it was the yellow gold wedding band with diamonds. 

I met Jasmine and her husband John in the parking lot where I ask her to point out the rock and describe the rings. 

Then I immediately held up her rings. Tears of joy and John kept saying over and over “ I can’t believe it” He almost didn’t come to  meet me because he believed it was impossible to find rings lost in the waves for almost 18 hours.

We had a great talk and they were home probably before 10:00am to enjoy the rest of the day. These ring searches in the ocean surf seem to be successful in cycles. I’ve had several recoveries in a row but then there have been times when they just don’t want to be found, sometimes the people are not sure when or if the ring came off in the water. Also there are times when Mother Nature just will not co-operate, the sand and currents can not be predicted.  You can’t find them if you don’t try.

If you have lost your ring or other sentimental keepsake, please contact me ASAP. You will not be bothering me. I will answer the phone 24/7. Our chances of finding your valuable metal keepsake are greatly increased if we can discuss it as soon as possible.

Lost Heirloom Gold Ring at the Beach in Sand .. Recovered Next Day

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I received a call from John Paul, asking how TheRingFinders service works. He was curious if I could help him find a ring that his friend , Jason had lost on the beach.  I explained to him hoe well metal detectors can find rings if he could get me to the general area. 

John Paul has recently move to California from back east. He and his friends had rented these electrics scooters that are very popular at SoCal beach cities. They are set up with an app on his cellphone that gave him the exact location of where the parked the scooters at midnight. When they walked out on the sand to take a quick swim in the ocean. Jason put his heirloom gold ring in his had on the upper beach and forgot to take it out when they finished.

The next morning Jason realized the special ring that had been passed down for more than three generations was somewhere on the beach. He was devastated and sure it was impossible to find. His friend John Paul went to the internet to inquire about metal detector information. That’s how he contacted me. I told him we could give it a try but it would be couple hours till I could meet him.

That was perfect with him and we met and he showed me the possible location. He was not sure and that was ok with me because I have learned that many people can’t remember where they were on these large sandy beaches. I eliminated aloud 400 square feet of dry sand finding a few coins before getting the magic gold tone I was listening for. One scoop was what it took to find Jason’s ring only 3 inches under the soft sand. John Paul was ecstatic breaking into big smile. Jason was not there, he had total given up staying back at the house. So, John Paul,immediately called Jason with the good news. It was John Paul’s persistence and caring for his friend that made this turn out to be a special event that makes me grateful to be a member of TheRingFinders.
