Hillary called me after losing her house in the Palisades fire to see if I could help her find some family a heirlooms in the rubble. I met her a few days later and  began to dig and sift. It didn’t take long to find her sterling silver flatware. Then I moved on to search for her husbands watch. It was given to him by his mother for graduation. I found that about an hour later.  Then I began the search for Hillarys jewelry. I soon found a couple of silver necklaces.  One of the most sentimental things that I found at the end of my search was several special tooth fairy coins that they had given to their four daughters . what a nice family that I was lucky enough to help.

AIRLOOM ROLEX WATCH AND GOLD RING LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

Jillian called me and told me that she was referred to me by Audra who I had helped find an engagement ring after the fire.  I went to the property a couple of days later to help her locate two safes that were lost in the fire and buried under the rubble. When I arrived I was told that the area were the safes were located was down about 10 feet and under two or three feet of rubble. I had to break open an iron grate that covered the ladder  before I could climb down. It took a few trips to carry the equipment down the steps . I cut through plaster , cement and drywall to get to the area that the safes were buried. That took over an hour. Finally I uncovered one safe and then the other. One was empty but in the other one I found Jillians father in laws Rolex watch that was handed down to her husband.  I Also found  a gold ring and some silver coins. This search was a little challenging because  I’m not fond of heights and I didn’t want what was left  of the house to collapse on me but I did come out unscathed.

I was on a search for Teresa in the Palisades fire last week that was successful. Her aunt lived in her own room in the same house, and lost a big diamond ring and other gold jewelry, I was asked to search for her jewelry as well. There was a lot of debris, in her corner of the house, that had to be removed, once that was out of the way. I started sifting and began finding her jewelry, there was a large diamond ring, a gold lapis ring, several other gold rings, some gold and silver necklaces, two gold bracelets, two watches, several pairs of gold earrings as well. I found over 30 pieces of jewelry in total. Teresa’s aunt was so happy to have it back. She told me that she thought it was gone forever, and was   amazed  that I was able to find it under the rubble and ash.

He called his wife right away with the  good news.  By the end of the search I recovered at least 65 pieces of gold and silver  jewelry. and 150 silver and clad coins from Mark’s collection.

LOST HEAVY GOLD HEIRLOOM RING IN THE SURF AT VENICE BEACH FOUND & RETURNED

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

I got a text on Saturday night from Greg about a heavy gold ring that he lost in the surf earlier that day at Venice Beach. We arranged to meet at Venice Beach at 10am the next day , so I could have time to search for the ring during low tide. When I arrived that morning the parking was already starting fill up. I met up with Greg and we walked out together so he could introduce me to his family and showed me location of the loss. He and his wife tried to explain the location in relationship to the life guard tower and other features on the beach. I was a little nervous, when I saw the area seem to be about 50 yards long , but we narrowed it down a little and I began my grid search working my way down the slope  and into the ocean . It was very quite, with very few signals, but after about a  half an hour just below calf deep, I got a soft but repeatable signal, dug down about a foot, two scoops and there was  Greg’s ring staring up at me. There were cheers, and high fives . Greg was ecstatic to have his grandfather’s   ring  back on his finger. They even have the same initials which was on the ring. I felt blessed  to be able to help such a nice family. It made a long drive home much more pleasant.
