Gold Masonic Ring Lost at County Line Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I was on my back home from finding the earring earlier when I received a call from Jeff. He had been surfing, but had brought the ring he had received from his late grandfather with him. So as not to lose it he put in his tight fitting wet suit. He came out of the water and began to remove the wet suit, when the ring popped out and landed in the sand. He searched for about an hour, but was unable to find it. He then searched the internet, and found me. I was about an hour away, and told him I was on my way. He had time constraints, seeing his friend was getting married tomorrow, and he had to be at the rehearsal later in the evening.

When I got there Jeff led me down to the spot of the loss. He had piled stones to mark it, and it assured me that we would be able to make a quick recovery. I could see that some of the shrubbery had been moved around, and the sand had been piled up in the center of the area. I proceeded to search where Jeff thought the ring may have landed. It wasn’t there, so I worked my way back. I searched the pile of sand where it looked like Jeff had done most of his  own searching, it wasn’t there either. I then started to work back almost behind where he had been standing when I received a good repeatable signal, dug once and missed it, dug a second time and in my scoop was a nice big gold Masonic ring, the ring he found among his grandfather’s belongings after he had passed away. This was so important to Jeff, a precious memory of his late grandfather, who he had just found out was a Mason , which also meant a lot to Jeff. I could tell the pride he had for his grandfather, and this made for a wonderful recovery. Also he still had time to make the rehearsal.

Keys Lost in Ivy in Los Angeles, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a text Tuesday evening from Lexi asking for help to find some keys. Apparently Lexi had been spinning the keys around a finger when they flew off and into the ivy of an apartment complex. Keys can be very expensive to replace, so this was an important search. I got to the place the next morning, was shown the area of the loss, and began the search. It took about 10 minutes, until my detector sounded off with a good signal. I was able to give the keys back to a relieved Lexi. Unfortunately Lexi did not want a picture taken, so I just have the keys. I was able to make another person’s day though, and this is what it is all about.

Platinum Wedding Band Lost in Park in Santa Monica, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Jessica Sunday afternoon regarding her husband’s ring that came off while he was pushing their son on the swings at their local park. I told her that I would be happy to help, so we made arrangements. She sent me the address of the park, and I made my way over.

When I got there, Jessica’s husband Joshua, and their son met me, and showed me the area of the loss. He showed me where he was standing, and where he thought the ring may have landed. He said they had looked for it, and resolved that it just might be gone for good. I could see the drag marks in the sand from their previous search. I was standing back about 10 feet from that area when I turned my machine on. I lifted it up, moved the coil, and heard that unmistakable sound in my head phones, put my scoop in, and showed Joshua his ring in the bottom of my scoop; about 10 seconds in all. I was almost standing on top of it as we were discussing the loss. Needless to say he was amazed, and so grateful to have his ring back. It is so awesome to be able to be that person to hand back to someone like Joshua, something so sentimental that he thought was lost for good. Another great day.

Lost IPhone at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Clark called late afternoon yesterday saying that he had lost a cell phone at the beach, and was wondering if I could help. I was not able to go immediately, but let him know that I could go later. He decided to continue his search, and I offered some tips on how do the search himself. When I was able to go, I had not heard back from Clark, and thought they must have found the phone, but decided to call and check anyway. I was surprised, they did not find it, but I was hoping they would have called back. I asked him if they were still at the beach, and he said no, they had gone home, which was about 2 hours away. I then offered to still go and do the search, it was about 7:15 PM, so Clark gave me very good directions to the area they believed the loss occurred, in and around some swing-sets.

I got to the area about 8:30 PM, and was immediately discouraged, because the swings were full of young people enjoying themselves, and I wondered if I would get a chance to work the spot. People started to leave which gave me my opportunity. It took about 15 to 20 minutes for me to located the phone. I sent Clark a text that I had found the phone, and he asked for a photo of it to be sure. When he realized it was the phone he asked to meet and get it that night. I realized it must have some important information; maybe some medical information, or serious business contacts, I just did not know, so I told him no problem, whatever it was going to take. It was going to take almost 2 hours for them to meet with me, so I chose a coffee shop, and said I would wait for him there.

When Clark arrived, his girlfriend Aimee was with him, and it turned out that it was her phone. What a great guy Clark is to have coordinated all of this for his girlfriend. Also the importance of the phone was severe, because Aimee had an college exam on Monday, and all the information needed to study and take the exam was on that phone. I can’t think of a more stressful situation for a young person than that. I was sure happy to unite her with her phone, and make her day.

I received a call a couple of days ago from Shilpa about two of her rings she lost earlier in the day at the beach. One of the rings was her platinum wedding band, and the other was an heirloom ring that had been in the family for a long time. I was able to go right away, and was there in about 20 minutes.

When I arrived, she told me that she had been on her towel and took her rings off to apply sunscreen. Later she got up to go, and shook out her towel. It wasn’t long after that she realized she had left her rings on the towel when she lifted it up and shook the sand off. I got ready and began my search. I walked a couple of grid lines when Shilpa directed me closer to where she believed she shook the towel. I then swung a couple of times and got a good signal, the heirloom ring was in the scoop. swung once more, and the wedding band was in the scoop. She was so happy to have them back, and I was so happy to have been a part of being able to help her. Great day!

Car Key Lost at Sunset Beach, CA…Recovered and Happily Returned.

I received a call from Maxim who explained to me that he had lost his car key as he was walking to the water to go surfing about 6:30 in the morning. I got the call about 11:00 AM, and he told me he had been searching for the key all morning. I told him I would be there quickly.

When I got to the location Maxim was waiting for me. I found out that he had lost his only key to his car, so there was really no where for him to go until it was found. He showed me the area where he thought it was lost, and I could see where he had searched by the grid lines in the sand made from his hands and feet dragging in the sand. I set to grid the same area, because he was so sure of where it had dropped, and I knew that sand will move things around when someone does a hand search making an item very hard to find. I did a grid, and then a cross grid; nothing! I proceeded to question more, and decided to grid towards the entrance to the beach. I searched about 10 feet when I had a good hit. I scooped once, nothing in the scoop. I looked at the spot to set the scoop in again when I saw the tip of the key sticking up.

I reached down raised the key, and Maxim could not believe it was where I found it. I told him it happens all the time, people don’t always have the perfect recall we would like to have, so we as « Ring Finders » have to ask a lot of discerning questions in order to help probe the memory. Just so happy to see his smile knowing he was going to be able to get back into his groove.

Wedding Band Lost at Torrance Beach, CA…Recovered and Joyously Returned.

I had spent the morning surfing yesterday at a local beach, and had just come out of the water when I checked my phone to see that I had received a text from Keith. He was wondering if I could help him find his wedding band that he had lost the previous day. I told him that I had to go and drop off my board and gather my equipment, and that I would meet him at the spot in an hour.

When I arrived Keith was waiting. He explained that he had taken the ring off to go into the water, and have his child come in closer to shore, because they had paddled out too far for his liking. He put the ring on the beach chair on a towel, but when he got back the towel was moved, and the ring was gone. They looked but were unable to find it. One of his children mentioned that he should buy a metal detector to search for it, but Keith figured that he had seen a lot of guys detecting the beaches, and thought that there might be someone who might be able to help him, so he turned to the Internet, and did a search where he was able to locate my number. That was a good thing because the area he was looking is so highly mineralized, it would have caused any inexpensive detector to false constantly.

I began my search, and then readjusted my detector to accommodate for the conditions, put the coil back down just bit lower in the search area when I got a good report from the machine. I put my scoop in, and there it was. I pulled it out to Keith’s surprise. It truly made his day that someone was so willing to come at such short notice, and it made my day to see his joy restored.

I received a call from Scott about 8:30 PM Saturday night asking if I could help find his wife’s ring that she had lost at the beach earlier in the day. I told him I could be at that beach in about 30 minutes, and would meet him there to search for the ring. I think it surprised him that I would go immediately, so he said he would call back if they wanted to go right away. I always try to search a beach as soon as possible, because I know that there are too many factors that can make the ring be lost forever, eg. County beach cleaners, or other people metal detecting the beach among others. He called back about 15 minutes later. I found out later that he and his wife wanted to double check all of their belongings that they had brought to the beach for the ring, in case they had missed something, in order to not have me go out for no reason (which I did appreciate). I asked how the ring was lost, and it was a very common beach occurrence; taking the ring off and putting it in her lap in order to put on sunscreen, and then she stood up.

We met at the arranged spot about 9:15 PM. It was dark, and Scott was trying to lead me to the spot where they had been, but with all of the sand, and not noticing landmarks, it can be very hard to narrow it down. Fortunately they used a baby stroller for their child which had made tracks, that even though many people had walked over them, we were able to follow. If we had waited until the next day, these tracks would have been eliminated, and that would have made the search a lot harder. After getting to the spot Scott was able to narrow down the area, which allowed me to find the ring within 10 minutes. By 9:30 PM he had his wife’s ring in his hand. He helped me to help him. I knew that they would sleep well that night. If you lose an item that needs to be found, try to make sure you figure out where it was lost because our process, to do it right is a slow process, and we need you to help us help you. Needless to say Scott was very happy, as I am sure his wife was as well (she wasn’t able to be there for the search). A great evening.

I had just gotten home from 4 hours of surfing, when I received a call from Sam asking for help to find a lost wedding ring at the beach. Knowing the importance of getting right on it, I told him I would leave immediately and arrive within half an hour or so.

When I got to the spot Sam met me there and showed me the area where he believed it was lost. It was a volley ball court, so I was thinking he was hitting the ball when he lost his ring. So I was figuring flight patterns of where his ring might have went, when he told me it wasn’t his ring, but a client’s, as he is a personal trainer who was putting her through a work out earlier this morning. He then pointed out the patch of sand they were using, and I got right to work. After about 15 minutes, and a little outside of where Sam thought it might have been I got a real good tone in my head phones about one inch under the sand. I put in my scoop, and out comes this real pretty ornate ring.

It was great to make his day, and I am sure his client’s day. This is what it is all about, to know the story of the ring continues, and smiles all around.

Heart Pendant and Necklace Lost in San Pedro, CA… Found.

P1000073P1000072

Renee called me today to ask if I would be able to help her find a necklace and pendant with small diamond that she lost in the ivy where she had been walking. I told her that I was available, but she had to wait until she was done at work, which wasn’t going to be long. We arranged to meet at a pizza restaurant near the location, and then I would follow her over to the search area. She had remembered the pendant to be about the size of a nickle, which made me feel good about the search, because I knew the chain would be a bear to find, if my detector would hear it at all, but a nickle sized pendant should not be too bad a search.

When we got to the location, she then told me it had missing for two weeks, and then showed me the area (which is behind her in the photo above).  When I walked over to the ivy, I could see that it had been recently trimmed, within a day or two, so I was feeling a bit like it might be gone, but I wanted to do a thorough search, so I got right to work. I was finding everything, bottle caps, screw caps, cans, bottles, foil, ketchup pouches, etc. I found everything but what I was looking for. I had my best detector, but when I had gone over the whole area, I decided to switch to another detector, knowing its ability to find small gold (hoping it would find the chain). I then began to find more stuff in the area I had already cleaned out, getting more good signals, and more foil. My pin pointer was getting a workout as well. I then got another good signal in the headphones, put in the pin pointer and got nothing. I passed the coil over again, got the good signal, put the pin pointer in again; nothing. I then laid the detector down, and reached into the debris, and handful by handful passed it in front of my coil. When I heard the good sound in my headphones again I started going through what was in my hand when I saw a very fine chain. As I lifted it up, I found the very small heart shaped pendant, which I have next to dime in the picture to show scale, it was smaller than a nickle, and fine in thickness. I lifted it up, and began walking across the street to show Renee who was sitting in her car, because it was pretty cold. She jumped out to see, and a great big smile appeared. I am glad to have made her day today, and happy to have had the right tool for the job.
