*** Anna was on the beach with her husband and two small children. When the picked up her young son, she inadvertently snagged his necklace braking it. She salvaged the gold chain but the very small gold pendant disappeared into the sand.

The loss occurred a short distance from where I live  but I was an hour away on another search on the other side of town. They said they would be on the beach for a couple more hours, so we set up to meet later in the afternoon. 

Traffic was cooperating and parking was easy to get me there before they had to leave. I was glad to have my high frequency metal detector with me which is a must for finding micro small jewelry. Anna had marked the spot with a stick. She also showed me an identical pendant which she also wears. 

A short time later I got a very short but solid signal on my metal detector. It took about five or six attempts with my sand scoop to retrieve the pendant as it kept falling through the larger holes in the scoop. Anna and her husband were totally surprised and expressed their joy and gratitude for my help.

… I received a early morning text asking help to find three rings lost the day before. Lisa told me that the rings were set on the towel while putting on sunscreen. She didn’t realize them missing until they were driving home. 

The next morning Lisa and her husband went back to the beach with a metal detector they purchased at a sporting goods store. Knowing they didn’t have any experience with a metal detector. They called me to ask for help. I asked them to claim the area so nobody set up in the search site.

I met them on the beach after they spent an hour with the metal detector none of the rings showed up. We were lucky that the beach cleaning machines had not worked the beach that morning.

I set up my machine knowing we had three targets which made the odds of finding the lost rings better. I didn’t start in the best area, but I did get a single signal as I narrowed down the search location. Everyone was starting to lose nope. Then I got a single signal with no other signals near it. One dig with the sand scoop prove to be a yellow gold Cartier Love ring. I called Lisa over to claim the ring as I swung my detector coil for another signal. No signal. 

When I looked back in my scoop, there were two white gold rings hiding in the silver colored stainless steel scoop. Amazing and another learning experience for me. They must have been laying together or maybe the thicker yellow gold ring dominated the signal. The most important fact was these irreplaceable sentimental rings were saved and back where they belong.

It’s always a gamble to try a beach search after days have past on our Southern California beaches especially on the dry sand towel areas. I’ve learned that we can’t give up. Part of the search process is to confirm that the lost item is not there. I try to give people that ask for my help that information so they understand how it works. I use the best metal detectors and have experience using them. If the item isn’t there, I can’t find it, but in most cases I can verify it’s not there. Which helps people to eliminate an area. Finding lost items is a process of elimination..

… JONES called me after losing his Texas A&M Gold Ring in the sand at a Southern California beach.. He said he didn’t feel it come off.  It was going to be dark by the time he could meet me on the beach. JONES said he believed the ring came off when he rinsed his hands off in the cold water. 

We met on the beach as the tide starting to come up. After looking at all the possibilities to where the ring could be lost. I elected to search the towel line because that’s where he spent most of his time on the beach. Also the tide had already advanced high enough that tomorrow’s low tide would be best time to go for the ring. He hadn’t spend much time at the water’s edge and did not feel the ring come off his finger.

From my experience the ring had a better possibility of being in the area he spent most the day. Tomorrow the city beach cleaning machines will be sifting the sands and the usually hit the towel line thoroughly.

After about 20 minutes the big heavy gold Texas A&M Aggie ring was recovered. Jones was a happy guy. These rings are very coveted by graduates of Texas A&M. I was also happy that I guessed the ring was in the dry sand and I hadn’t wasted time trying to find it in the crashing surf.

I can search cars, homes and water where metal detectors can’t be used. I you need advice or assistance looking for a lost or misplaced valuable please feel free to call or text.

Big Diamond Ring … Recovered from Sand at Southern California Beach by member of TheRingFinders

.. Britney believed that her very sentimental and very expensive 7 ct. diamond ring was lost at a Southern California beach. The loss happened three days before contacting me. She didn’t feel the ring fall off her finger, only realizing the missing ring while driving home.  Her insurance company recommended that she contact a member of TheRingFinders. When I replied to her text, she told me that she just a few minutes to talk before leaving to pick up her daughter from school.

It was late in the afternoon and I thought I might have to set up this search for the next morning. I did have time to find out Britney would not be able to meet me at the location. In my opinion, I believed I should make the hour drive attempting a preliminary search with the sketchy directions she gave me.  Part of the area is a play area that gets a lot of attention from hobby detectorists. The other possible location was a large section of main beach which is sometimes known as “no man’s land”, the area of sand between parking lot and the towel line.

I made the drive and was able to talk with Britney one more time after I arrived. She couldn’t add much to the directions given to me on our first phone call. I made sure to thoroughly grid search the play area first. Then proceeded to grid search half a football field zone that she had set up their beach blanket. 

There was 30-35mph winds blowing sand that evening as the sun beat an to set. It was looking like I might have to return the next morning. This area might be larger that Britney described, she said it was about 100 -150ft out. ( some people are good about judging distance?) I started in the middle going north. Then I came back to go south. The second 150 ft pass I got a great signal just where I was doing the turn around. Boom !! Big 7 ct. diamond in a white gold setting. Successfull recovery just before thinking this was going to be a two day search.. This was an awesome search because I had very few details to work with and three days had passed. Sometimes you just have to try.

Britney and her husband met me near where I live to pick up their very sentimental ring. Ending several days of frustration and sleepless nights upset with herself and believing the ring was lost forever.

Lost Wedding Ring and a Mother’s Day Gift Ring at Huntington City Beach, CA. .. Found and Returned on Mother’s Day

Timing is important call ASAP .. Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136  .. I Will Answer the Call 

 *** The night before Mother’s Day I received a call from lady named Nga, she had been to Huntington City Beach with her 3 boys. She put her two rings on her towel while applying sun screen.  One was her platinum diamond wedding ring and the other a very special rose gold with a red stone ring ( a Mother’s Day gift from her sons four years before). She wears both rings daily .

The rest of the story is common occurrence, she picked up the towel later in the day and the rings disappeared into the sand. She did realized that the rings were lost before leaving the beach, but that turned into a panic search for several hours by everyone around them.

Returning home Nga did a google search and contacted me just before 8pm. I heard enough of the story and where she lost the rings to advise her that I should leave right away as this beach has a nighttime cleanup crew that runs beach sifting machines especially on the most used part of the beach.

I arrived at the location with about an hour before they close the beach. That was enough time to grid search a 40ft x 40ft area. Half way through the grid search I got two signals on my Deus 2 metal detector. Scooped both ring at the same time. Turned off my machine, took a few photos of the rings and called Nga with the good news.  I know that she needed to know that the rings were safe and she could sleep well that night. ( I did send a photo of the rings ) 

We met this Morning, which is Mother’s Day 2022. She was with her husband and three boys and all were excited and very grateful to have Mom’s rings back for Mother’s Day..

How to Find a Ring on the Beach … Huntington Beach, CA. .. Call a Member of TheRingFinders

*** Tasha lost her gold wedding ring at Huntington Beach, CA. She had taken her small son to the beach for the day. When she returned home, she realized her wedding ring was not on her finger. The next day she drove from Pasadena, CA., a distance of more than 40 miles to search the sand with a metal detector she borrowed from a friend.

It was three days after the loss when she contacted me to ask for help to find her ring. We discussed the what had happened and she verbally told me it was near a lifeguard tower at Huntington State Beach. It was already close to 8pm but I decided to start a search because I still had two hours before the beach closed. It wasn’t necessary for her to drive the long distance to show me the location. 

The search that evening was not successful. The next morning, we talked on the phone and she was able to send me photos of where they had been.  I returned to the beach, which is only 4 miles from where I live. The footprints of where I had grid searched were still visible. I started a new grid pattern outside the previous search overlapping some of the other search area. ( it’s always possible to miss a small ring in the dark)

After almost a half hour my detector gave me a perfect solid sound with a ID number that could be a gold ring.  BOOM! Tasha’s wedding ring in my sand scoop. Ironically it was found very close to where I had searched the night before. 

I sent her a photo of the ring and asked her to call me, so we could make arrangements for her to pick up her very special ring. The next day we met at another beach that was less of a drive for her.  Always a special moment when I get to return a ring.
