Hi, my name is Larry Royal, I live and grew up(64 years) on the Central Coast of Calif. with Pismo Beach, Oceano Beach, Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Cayucos and San Simeon as my main metal detecting beaches. I have been a treasure hunter all my life and metal detecting for over 15 years and know the area quite well. Since retiring from the work force 7 years ago what was once a hobby has now turned into a fun, full time quest to find lost treasures on the beach and return them to their owners.
I joined “The Ring Finders” as I saw it as a great opportunity to let more people know of my rewarded base service of helping people find their lost treasures. I have found many rings and lost items on the local beaches and only wish I could find every owner. I hunt in the ocean and on the dry sand and have good tips on how to help someone find their lost rings, necklaces, cellphones and other lost treasures. Just 2 days ago I recovered a 1 ct diamond ring for a lady who was crying for 2 days over losing it and the smile and joy on her face when I handed back to her was priceless.
I’m very well know by the Pismo Beach LEO and the “Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area”, (aka; Pismo Beach) parks & beach personnel, if you contact them about a lost ring they will probably direct you to me. I also have the resources of many of the local metal detecting people as I’m currently the Huntmaster, Librarian, Historian and “member at large” for the “Central Coast Treasure Hunters Association” cctha.org I use the latest metal detecting technology and equipment in and out of the water.
If I can be of any help to you please contact me.
Welcome Larry to The Ring Finders Directory…I look forward to seeing the recoveries and Smiles you’ll find!
Happy Hunting!!
Welcome Larry, I hope we can hunt together sometime.
I really enjoyed reading your blog!!
You were my angel, the day I found you on the beach! It was a cold and windy day, and I was beyond stressed out, from being a caregiver for 2 people in my life. I jokingly refer to that day as the day I “ran away from home!” I really felt like I was cracking up and the first half hour or so just walked and cried, then I saw you. I continued walking, not wanting anyone to see me crying and when I was cried out and heading back, got the nerve to stop and talk to you. We talked for some time and you told me of loosing your wife and some of your past, you have such a wonderful sense about you and somehow so uplifting. I asked if I could take a picture of you because I am an oil painter and I would like to paint you and you chuckled and said sure. Well I’ve started it even though I don’t have much time to paint any more. When it’s done, I’ll contact you. You brought such joy into my life just for that short visit, I’ve told so many people about running away and finding an angel! Hope you’re well…Nancy
Nancy I am so happy I was able to bring you a little joy on that stressed out day you were having. I look forward to seeing the painting and wish you continued joy and happiness.
Hi Larry: I am the lady who took your picture, so I could paint you! It’s all done and I want to give it to you as my gift. I hope you and maybe your family will like it. The man I paint with liked it so much, he insisted I show it, where I occasionally have some of my paintings, or I would have contacted you sooner. Actually I did on a post on your blog,
Please contact me and I’ll bring it to you. Again, meeting you on the beach that grey and cold day, meant a lot to me. Nancy
Hi Nancy, I can’t wait to see the painting…what a pleasant surprise you can call me 8054891917 any time or biglry62@hotmail.com
