Platinum and Gold Wedding Ring Lost at Malibu Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I was on my way back from my morning search in Mission Viejo on Thursday, when I received a call from Elizabeth. Her husband Michael had been at the beach near their house playing with a local dog who was frolicking in the surf. Michael was at the water line when he moved his hand towards the water, and in an instant his ring flew off of his hand and was gone. He searched with futility for his ring that had been swallowed up by the ocean sands. Elizabeth found me on the Internet, and gave me a call. I asked my questions, and found out the loss had just happened in the last half hour, so I knew odds were very good for a successful recovery. We arranged to meet as soon as I could get to their place.

When I got there I met them both, and then Michael jumped in my truck, and off we went to the area of the loss. When we got there Michael showed me where he had set his land marks, and then showed me what he had done to cause the loss. I began right where he had showed me. I turned my detector on, and got some noise while I was passing through the water. Thinking I needed to ground balance to the salt water because of minerals I did so. When I swung again, the same tone, I dug, and in my scoop was his ring. Michael had put me right on top of his ring. I asked him what color it should be, he looked in the scoop and with surprise, and great joy agreed that I had found it. I took him back to his house when Elizabeth came out and gave me a big hug, and a tub of great vegetable soup that I ate when I got home. It was then I found out they had just gotten married 5 days earlier! What a great day!

I received a text from Gary today asking if I would be available to help him find his keys that were lost the night before at the beach. He had been out with friends enjoying the temperate weather, having a fire on the beach, and roasting S’mores when he noticed his keys were no longer in his pocket. These were keys that had a specific purpose, and would be hard to replace. Also there was a flash-drive attached that had personal information which he wanted to keep. I told Gary I would be able to meet him at the beach in a couple of hours, and he sent me the location. We met, and he showed me the area. I began my search, and realized the area was infested with foil, pull tabs, bottle caps, and a lot of iron in the form of screws, nails and bolts, with a few coins as well. The search was slow because of digging a lot of unwanted items, but in order to make sure I did not pass over the keys, I dug every hot hit. About 1 1/2 hours later I dug a quarter, and once I put it away, I passed my coil over the area again, and had another good hit. I put my scoop in, and found Gary’s key chain. Needless to say that he was thoroughly happy about having them back. Glad to have made his day! Gary was referred to my by Stan Ross (fellow Ring Finder).

I had just spent the morning metal detecting the beach, and was on my way home, but was going to do some shopping first. I had just entered Costco when my phone rang. Katelyn called and said she had lost her ring at the beach, and was unable to find it. Well I still had all of my equipment in the vehicle, and knew the beach was about 45 minutes away, and also knew that this beach is one that gets cleaned real good, so time once again was working against me. I told Katelyn I would be there as quickly as possible, and she said she would wait for me. I left my cart in the aisle and took off for the beach. When I got there she had cordoned off the area she thought the ring was lost in using towels, toys, baskets, and a wagon, which was a great help. I got ready, and began my search. I searched the whole area, and then we had to start moving the « fencing ». We moved everything, and no ring. Then we moved the wagon. I searched the area under the wagon, and then the area behind where it was parked, and that is when I heard the sweet tone of gold in my earphones. One scoop was all that was needed, and Katelyn had her ring back. What a joy to see her joy today. She told me she had taken it off when she was putting her hand in the sand, and then found it missing. She also said that she and her husband just celebrated their first wedding anniversary last month, so what a disappointment it was to lose the very symbol of that occasion. I am thankful I was able to help Katelyn today. Katelyn was referred to me by Stan Ross (fellow Ring Finder).

Hi, my name is Steve Smith.

I am retired, which allows me to do a search at all hours of the day or night. I look forward to being a help to all who call. This hobby has been a great learning experience, and I have made sure that for the searches that I go on, I am using the best up to date equipment that is available. I have also found that being a member of The Ringfinders, and helping people find what they thought was “Lost Forever” has been a very rewarding experience. Please make the possibility of finding your valuable a success by calling as soon as you can after the loss.

Best regards,

Steve Smith
