Lost Gold Chain and Gold Coin Pendant Found at Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

Gold Chain with Gold Coin Pendant Recovered and Returned to Owner!
When I’m out metal detecting, the number one question I get is “What is the most valuable thing you’ve found?”, well as of this morning I have a clear answer.
Three days ago I noticed a Facebook post about a gold chain lost on July 4th at Pope Beach, Lake Tahoe. Lesson to everyone out there, if you lose something valuable and metal DON’T post the location you lost it at—the Sand Pirates will find it and keep it!
I contacted the person who lost the chain and I offered to help find it. After a series of exchanges we coordinated a meeting at the gold chain loss location—8:30am this morning at Pope Beach. Thank goodness he chose to meet me, only with his onsite precise identification of where he went swimming, allowed this recovery to happen.
It took two hours of searching underwater with my XP Deus 2 metal detector and Blu3 Nemo dive system to find this gold chain and gold coin pendant.
Needless to say, the owner was happy!

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Recovered at Glenbrook, Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

July 4, 2026: A text was sent at 10:35AM about a platinum wedding ring lost in the beach sand at Glenbrook. At 10:35AM I was underwater, at Kings Beach, searching for another ring. I didn’t read the text until 12:06PM when I got back to my truck. I advised the client I could be at the search location in 45 minutes. With July 4th traffic, I didn’t arrived until shortly after 1PM. The client showed me the ring loss location—a small patio sized beach. The stone and concrete retaining wall was causing some interference for my XP Deus 2 metal detector. After two passes I got a solid repeatable signal. At 1:14PM, I used my pinpointer and hand to reveal the lost platinum wedding ring. Ring recovered in less than three hours from being notified by the client’s first text.

Lost Gold Ring Found Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

June 25, 2026: Lost Gold Ring Recovered at Nevada Beach, Lake Tahoe. Got a call at 5:18pm about a lost gold ring at the north end of Nevada Beach, Lake Tahoe, near the kayak rentals. I arrived at 6:27pm to begin searching. Fortunately the client was able to meet me at Nevada Beach and we began retracing her steps from the parking lot to their beach hangout area under a tree just south of the kayak rentals. The client explained that this ring was very special being given by her mother. Not detecting any serious targets at the parking lot, along the boardwalk, and along the beach path towards the large pine tree, I felt more confident that the ring would likely be at their hangout area. Within three swings of my XP deus 2 metal detector, I got a solid 82 VDI. Reaching down, I scooped a handful of sand revealing a shiny beautiful gold ring.
