*** Sarah and her husband are from the San Francisco Bay Area. They had come to Laguna Beach for a little vacation. While throwing a football in shin deep water his palladium wedding band came off his finger and  disappeared into the surf. 

Sarah found my contact information while doing a google search. We made arrangements to meet that same morning so I could get the area. They only had a few hours till they had to check out of the hotel. The tide was low enough to do a preliminary search but there was tons of seaweed in the suspected location of the ring loss.

After an hour and a half, I called it a day. Tomorrow I would be back a couple hours earlier to give it another try. The next morning was perfect the sand conditions had changed and there was no seaweed. After a hour of grid searching I move 30ft more to the south. BINGO ! .. Palladium wedding ring in the scoop. 

Sent Sarah a photo and went straight to the post office to mail it to them .. Next day mail, I don’t trust the mail so I figured it would be easier on me not to wait 3 or 4 days.

*** Angela lost her gold university class ring in the sand while brushing sand off her hand. All of her friends spent several hours trying to recover the ring. It was not looking like the ring could be found and she was devastated. One of her friends found me on a google search and she called me immediately.

After hearing what happened, I knew it could be found if she could stay in the area for another hour until I got to the location. This was probably our only chance to find her ring as the beach is sifted daily and this time of year it is heavily hunted by recreational detectorists. 

We met on the within the time I said I could be there. I set up my metal detector and the ring was found right in the zone that was marked by many finger drag marks they left me after their attempts to find the ring. 

Everyone was relieved that the ring was found and their good friend, Angela could be happy that her beautiful gold university class ring was not lost forever.

*** Rob had been to Victoria Beach which is one of the many small coves of Laguna Beach, CA. He put his gold family crest ring in his beach chair pocket before going into the ocean. 

He didn’t realize the ring was missing until the next morning while eating breakfast. He went back to the beach that morning and couldn’t find it in the sand. It could have been anywhere that he had been between the beach and his home where he stored the beach chair.

He called me from the beach just before noon. After hearing a familiar scenario of where he had placed the ring, I was pretty sure we had a chance to find the ring as from past ring searches these rings seem to fall into the sand when the beach chair is first picked up.

Rob was unable to meet me at the location later in the afternoon when the beach goers clear the towel line. It really wasn’t necessary because he had given me very clear directions. I was hoping that I didn’t have to grid search the 75 yards of sand back to the steps leaving the beach.

I arrived about 5:30pm and walked directly to where he described verbally on our phone conversation. A few minutes later, I had his unique gold family crest ring in my scoop. Sent a photo to Rob and he called right away. He told me that all the men in his family have identical rings and he was so relieved that he was not going to be responsible for losing his ring forever. Another great recovery story and a pleasure to meet Rob the next day when he picked up his ring

Gold Ring Lost on Hillside in Laguna Niguel, CA.. Found in Ivy and Leaves

Metal Detecting Service Laguna Niguel, CA. ..  .. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man ..  949-500-2136

**** Lisa Called me asking for help to find a ring her mother,  Vicki had lost while feeding birds in her backyard. The ring was actually very special as it was her husband’s wedding ring and he had recently past away.

I was able to get to the home in Laguna Niguel, CA. just an hour before dark. I knew this search may take a few hours, it was important to see the area to be searched so I can wear the proper clothing and bring the best tools for the search.

The ring had come off Vicki’s finger as she tossed bird seed over a plant and the ring had went down a 45 degree slope that had ivy and leaves. Perfect place to hide the ring, but not so nice to search for a ring.

I did a short search that first evening and returned the next morning with long pants, long sleeve shirt, gloves and proper shoes for the area to be searched. I began at the bottom of the slope on  my hands and knees. ( almost impossible to stand on the steep slope.)

Using a detector that had a short shaft and following up with a Garrett Pinpointer. I worked 5 ft square areas,  one at a time before moving over to the next 5ft.square. Two hours after starting I got a great signal and in the leaves there was the sight of gold as I moved a few leaves. RING SAVED!!

I was surprised how far the ring ended up, far to the left of where she had thrown the bird seed. This seems to be common , often rings lost while throwing objects seem the come off at the end of the motion. ?? Also rings lost over hillsides travel much further than you think. This ring traveled more than 40 feet from where she was standing and 20 more feet to the left of what I had planned to grid search.

It is hard to describe the look on Vicki’s face when I went to her door and held up the ring. Also her daughter Lisa couldn’t be there, but texted me a beautiful message saying how much this meant to the whole family..

*** Brittany had lost her Diamond Engagement Ring in the sand while laying out on at Hermosa Beach, CA.. She called asking for help. I was able to meet her and her fiancé on the beach a short time after we talked. They had been searching the sand for hours with no success. Actually they had more than a dozen people helping them. 

I met her on the beach and set up my metal detector. As I was beginning my grid search we visually spotted the ring on the surface of the soft fluffy sand. We must have kicked it up. Also the sun was just right to reflect the brilliance of the diamond.

All was well and Brittany was very surprised and happy that she stayed and didn’t give up before the miracle happened..

METAL DETECTING  FOR A LOST RING IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA. .. FOUND AND RETURNED .. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man ..  949-500-2136

*** I had taken the morning to go to a scuba dive show in Long Beach, CA. Just as I was about to get into my car for the drive home, I received a desperate call from Mary. She had dropped her gold and diamond wedding ring set in the dry sand. She was afraid to try to dig through the sand as she thought she might make them impossible to find. 

I was about 25 miles away but normally it is only a couple miles from my home. I could be there within an hour and it could be a easy recovery if she could stay at the site. Of course she agreed, it was her original wedding and engagement rings, very sentimental and irreplaceable.

Her friend offered a parking place at a residence near the beach front, another bonus as the beach was full of people enjoying the nice sunny day. After showing up near the time I gave her we were successful finding her rings. I might point out the the people next to Mary had noticed her predicament and were able to give her my contact information. I had found a ring for them last year.  Another perfect recovery because the people on the beach gave her my contact information, she called right away and I was available to get to the location in a timely manner with the proper tools to find those rings.

Lost Car Key Fobs at Aliso Beach California.. Found

***** Joshua and his wife took a short trip from their home to Aliso Beach to watch the sunset over the ocean. Aliso Beach is part of the Orange County parks system located in south Laguna Beach. They were only there for less than an hour which was long enough for his wife to lose her set of 2 car key fobs. 

They didn’t realize the keys were missing until they arrived home. Joshua returned to the beach to see if he could find them with no success.

He was able to call me asking if I was available to help. He was assuming that we could meet the next morning. After finding out that the items lost were the expensive key fobs, I told him it would be best if we could meet as soon as possible. It would be about 8pm which would give me two hours to search before the beach closes. It would not be necessary for him to stay.

Joshua and I met in the well lighted parking lot at exactly 8pm.. We walked across to the sand discussing where and what happened to cause the loss of the keys.

When we passed the trash receptacle next to a lamp post, we spotted the keys on top of the trash box.

I didn’t have to turn on my detector and it was a successful search. This is common with keys found by others at the beach here In SoCal. People find keys, etc. and put them on lifeguard towers, posts, walls, near exits of the beach. Unfortunately sometimes others take them for various reasons. 

It was a cool evening so we glad that everything went well and we were both home  within an hour of Joshua’s call..

Lost Smartphone in the Ocean .. Newport Beach, CA. .. Found with Metal Detector

Tetsuya and his wife Maya are Japanese tourists visiting Newport Beach, CA. While walking on a breakwater he dropped his IPhone on the large rocks and it went into the water. It was high tide at the time of the loss so he asked me if I could help him find the smartphone.

We met at low tide, where Tetsuya was able to point out the general area. Hopefully the phone wasn’t deep inside the rock structure where I couldn’t get my metal detector. There was also the possibility that the receding waves could have pulled the phone down the sloping beach further out into the ocean.

I started my search over a  small patch of exposed sand between two rocks. Right away I got a signal. It was not possible to determine whether it was large or small because I couldn’t swing my coil in the confined space.

The sand was wet and firmly packed but I didn’t want to use my sand scoop for fear of damaging the iphone. I started digging with my hand. About 4 inches deep I felt the corner of the phone. Almost three quarters of the phone was under a rock. Tetsuya was standing next to me  and was surprised when I touched the phone and it was still working after surviving two hours in the salt water.

It was a pleasure to help them find an important item that we all know would be a disaster to lose while vacationing thousands of mile from home.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring at Beach Party Volleyball Game .. Dockwieler State Beach, Los Angeles, CA.

Metal detecting service available to help you find your lost ring or other precious metallic jewelry.. 949-500-2136

…. Mark was attending a company beach party at Dockwieler State Beach with more than 25 coworkers. They had a friendly volleyball competition where Mark’s gold wedding band flew off his finger. He immediately knew when it came off and it went directly into the sand. 

For the next few hours several of his colleagues tried to find the ring in the sand. Mark did realize that he would have a better chance to find his wedding ring, if he rented a metal detector. Little did he know, this beach is a highly mineralized sand. Most metal detectorists avoid this area like the plaque.

Mark could not find a place to rent a metal detector but he did find my contact information on a google search. After hearing his story, I was able to make sure he could be there when I got to beach. 

The party was still in progress when I arrived. Everyone was excited to see me find the ring that they had attempted to find. Mark showed me where he was standing as he took a powerful swing at the volleyball. There was a lot of frustrating small signals but I was sure the gold ring would be much stronger. After a doing three cross grids two hours had passed. It was dark and all the people had gone home. 

Just Mark and I were the only persons on the beach. This simple search was beginning to look like a “no find”.  As a last resort,  I went 90 degrees from the spot where Mark hit the ball approximately 40 feet outside the right side boundary lines.  My thoughts were if this was unsuccessful,  I would have to go back to my car to get a different detector that might be more efficient in this highly trashy/ mineralized sand. THEN ! Boom, a great signal there in my scoop was Mark’s wedding ring. I found the ring on the first couple passes outside the area where the ring was most unlikely to be.  I did waist some time going over the primary search location three times. Only because it was unstable with a lot of false signals.  We often say, “Don’t Forget To Search Outside the Box.” Lately I have more respect for rings recoveries in volleyball courts. Rings lost playing volleyball can go a lot further and in unpredictable directions.. This was certainly a good example of searching outside the box.
