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!

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.

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.

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.

Mike called me this morning about his wedding ring he lost while pushing his children down a sand berm at the local beach yesterday. I told him I would be there in about an hour. When I got to the spot Mike met me, and showed me the area they were playing. You could still see the marks made by the sled they were using, so it made finding the location very easy. You could see though how exasperating it would be to try to find a ring on such an incline because of the way the sand moved as one climbed, or tried to dig on it.

I began at the bottom of the hill, and worked my way up. Originally Mike thought it might have been about half way down, or towards the  bottom, as that is when he noticed it missing. I received some signals in that area, and marked them, but they were not what I was wanting to hear, so I kept moving up the berm. I got near the top, when I heard a good signal about 3 feet off to the right of where they were sliding. I dug, and had Mike’s ring in the bottom of my scoop, turned and showed him. He was very happy, and thankful to have it returned. It was a pleasure to be able to make his day, and continue the story of his ring; the ONE he received from his wife on the day they were wed.

Ed called me last Monday asking if I would be able to help him find his ring which he lost playing volleyball. I said I could, and we arranged to meet the next day. We met at the location, where he showed me what he was doing, and where he thought the ring had come off. I proceeded to search, and got a real nice hit about 20 minutes into the search. When I dug I received a bottle cap, and swung my coil over the area again, with no reply. I went on to search the whole court, and quite a bit of the area outside the court, with no results.

There were people who were arranged outside the court, and I did not want to burden everyone to move all of their stuff for me to search, so I mentioned to Ed that I would come back later in the evening when the people had moved. I only had that one good hit earlier, and told Ed that before I left for the afternoon, I would go to that spot again and recheck. I did and increased the sensitivity on my detector, and low and behold I heard the good sound I had heard before, which registered at about 10 inches. It took a few digs with the scoop until I was looking at the ring in its bottom. Well as you can see by Ed’s smile I was able to make his day.

I was at home enjoying an In-N-Out hamburger watching the Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals duke it out on the gridiron when I received a call from Ulises explaining that his wife lost her wedding ring, and asked if I would be able to come and help them. I said as soon as I finished my meal, I would be on my way. I know it is so important to get on these searches right away, because the beach is mechanically cleaned by the County every day, and it would more than likely be picked up by their machines, yet I wanted to find the ring for them. They were at a local beach, in fact the one I had surfed at the day before, so I knew it well.

When I met them at the beach, I could see that they had been searching the area. I asked them what had happened, and I am sure it seemed like the beginning of a nightmare for his wife Maria. What happened was that they were at the beach earlier and Maria had taken her ring off to put on sunscreen. She put it in a cup so as not to forget where it was, but when it was time to go, in the busyness of getting ready she forgot she had put it there. She then wanted to remove some sand from where the cup was, and that is when they thought the loss happened.

What happened between that time and the time they called me was that they had driven home (about a 40 mile drive), and it wasn’t until they were ready to leave for another appointment that Maria noticed her ring missing. They then got back in the car and made the trek back, and began their search. It must have been most disheartening to arrive there, and knowing the approximate area you had been in, but not being able to find the ring. Their search was arduous yet with no results. The problem was that they showed me about 30 feet of beach, and that is a lot of sand to search, even with a metal detector. I put on my extra large coil, and began my search, Maria then directed me the other way, and in about 10 minutes total, I had her ring in my scoop.

Maria got very emotional at the sight of her ring, the ring her husband had given her 13 years earlier. I was so happy to make her day, and you can see by their picture that they were going to sleep well tonight. More joy, more smiles, and I will also sleep well tonight.

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, call as soon as possible. I will work hard to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

I received a call this afternoon from Elizabeth asking if I would be able to come and look for her husband’s wedding ring. I told her I was available and could be there in approximately 30 minutes. When I got there I began my questions for Elizabeth and her husband Ken to narrow down the search, and focus my time in the right area.

They told me that Ken had just exited the water, so it could have been lost there, also that he had taken and shaken out his towel and thought he felt something hit his hand in the process, thinking the ring might have come off then. The second scenario sounded like the easiest to begin with, so I decided to start where Ken shook his towel. I wanted to get this area out of the way before I headed for the water. Elizabeth told me that Ken had been right where she was standing, so I asked her to move so I could begin at that spot.

Let’s see, after three swings of the detector, and two scoops of sand, I was able to hand Elizabeth her husband’s wedding band, about 45 seconds later. They did so many things right, which enabled me to help them in such a short time. They stayed in the area of the loss. They marked the area. They called someone right away, not waiting until the next day or the next week, in which time the county beach cleaning machines or other metal detectorists could have picked up the ring and taken it for good. Then the two told me that they had only been married since June 2015 (that’s just two months!), how awesome, that ring meant so much to these two, that was THE ring. Could it be replaced, sure, but it wouldn’t be that one. I was so glad to be able to continue the ring’s story for these newlyweds, and to assemble more smiles for this directory; what a great day!

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, call as soon as possible. I will work hard to help you find what you thought might never be found again.
