Jasneev called me in the morning about her lost cell phone. I asked when she lost it, and she told me it was the night before. I also asked where, and when she told me, the thought of a recovery was diminished. The one thing she told me was that it was still registering from the same location, so we made arrangements to meet there as soon as we could in order to beat the machines, and other detectorists to the spot.

When I got there, and met Jasneev, she took me to the area of the loss. All I could see in the area was smooth sand, telling me that the machine had already passed through the area, so I asked her to get one more signal from her phone. It was showing it was still there. I then got my detector ready, and began the search. Pass after pass, here a bottle cap, there a piece of foil; maybe even a coin or two, but no phone. She then told me she had moved to anther spot not far from where I was searching, so I began another grid. After about 6 passes, a good strong signal came through the headphones. I carefully dug, and exposed her phone. I picked it up, and held it out for her, which made her morning. It did look as though the machine had hit it going through, but it was still working. A great morning indeed.

Got a contact from Douglass. He had lost his wedding ring in the back yard of his house. He had cleaned his hands, and flicked his hand in a downward motion to free it from the water, when his ring slid off. He heard it hit the ground, but did not see it land. After a thorough search he called. I let him know I would come right away.

When I arrived, Douglass took me to where the loss occurred, and showed me what he had done. The area was not real large, but there was a lot of thick ground cover in which to lose something small like a ring. I began my search going over the area that was thought to hold the missing item, but was unable to find it. I then went further out, got a good signal, looked down, and was able to see it down in between the ground cover. I called Douglass over, and showed him where I found it, which surprised him that it had gone so far, and he was very happy to have it back on his finger. I am very happy to have been able to help him out finding something so important to him.

I was contacted by Cody and Rebecca after Cody’s wedding ring was lost at the beach. He had taken it of to secure it in their bag when he went into the water. What happened was the bag was moved before the ring was retrieved, and when Cody went to put it back on it was gone, supposedly in the sand somewhere. I had just finished another search, and was immediately available, letting them know I would be there in a short amount of time.

When I got there I met Cody and Rebecca down on the sand where they had been sitting. They told me that they had left earlier, but were able to secure the same spot when they returned. They also said that they had searched with friends for a considerable amount of time to no avail. I began my search, but before I did I placed a nickle on the sand and went over it with my detector; no signal. The amount of iron in the sand was canceling out anything else, so I had to make adjustments in my detector in order to be able to use it in this environment. I then began to search, and within 10 minutes I had Cody’s ring. He and Rebecca were thrilled to see it again, and congratulated me on the recovery. It also always makes my day to be able to hand what once was thought lost forever back to the rightful owner.

Gold Charm Necklace Lost in Grass at Park in Hermosa Beach…Found and Joyfully Returned.

Tasha contacted me about 8:00 in the evening telling me about a necklace she lost while coaching soccer in her local park. It had come off sometime during the session, but she did not know where. I asked her to send a picture of the park with the area she had been in, so I would know how to proceed, because she was not going to be able to meet me there. It seems she had been over most of the field, so I knew there would be a lot of turf to search. I also said that I would do the search that night in order to not let too much time go by.

When I got to the park, and saw the size I knew this would be a time consuming search. As I walked out to the search area, I could see that half of the field was being watered, so I began on the other side. It turned out to be a slow grueling process because of the loads of metal trash in the grass from years and years of soccer games with lots of tin foil and aluminum. I just kept to my plan and slowly made a tight grid in the dark, so as to not miss anything. The trash metal in the grass slowed me down considerably, so much so, that I later looked at my watch, and noticed it was now 11:30 PM, and I had only completed half of the field. I sent Tasha a text letting her know I would have to leave for the night, but would return to complete the search.

I got back the next day just after the sun had gone down because it had been scorching hot that day, and I did not think I would last very long out in the heat. I sent her a text to let her know I was there to complete the search. I began where I had left off the day before continuing my tight grid pass after pass having to stop every couple of feet to check the signal just like the day before. I searched for another 2 hours, and then got another good signal to search, put the pin pointer in, and there it was; I was excited! I took the picture that is on this page, and sent it to Tasha, and she replied with intense joy and disbelief. I don’t think she thought she would ever see it again. Well she let me know her husband Jim was coming to get it for her, and when he arrived he told me what it meant to her. Those charms represented each of their children, and she kept them close to her all the time. This was surely a feel good recovery!

Emilia contacted me after losing her diamond engagement ring in the sand at the beach. She had taken it off, and put it in her glasses case to secure it while she rented a stand up paddle board to enjoy the day on the water. Sometime either before she went paddling, or when she got back the ring had come out of the case, getting lost in the sand. I let her know I could come immediately to search for her, so I was on my way right after.

When I got to the beach she was still at the rental tent, and she told me the circumstances of the loss. She then outlined the area she believed the loss could have occurred, so I got ready for the search. We moved anything metal out of the search area so as not to interfere with the detector, and I began. I think I swung no more than 4 times when I got a real nice low tone in the head phones, I dug, and a very beautiful ring was in the scoop. I held it up, and a very happy Emilia came over to make the identification. So happy to make people happy!

It was just after 11:00 PM when Carlos contacted me. He had been at the beach earlier in the day. His wife had taken off her ring for safekeeping, but when they gathered their belongings, the ring was forgotten, and lost in the sand. It was too late when they realized what happened; it was gone. He said that he could meet me the next day for a search, but I encouraged a search that night knowing the tenacity of the beach cleaners in that area. He agreed, but told be he was not going to able to meet me there for the search. He sent me all of the necessary information I needed in order to conduct a good search for him, and I was on my way.

When I got to the area I knew there was not going to be the ability to park close at that time of the night, so I had to walk about 1 1/2 miles in the dark of night to the search area, getting there about 12:00 AM. I sent Carlos a text to let him know I arrived, and then began my search. I worked in the area he gave, working a tight grid to insure every inch of sand was covered, and didn’t find much. I kept to my grid, continuing pass after pass with nothing. About 20 minutes in total darkness (I don’t use lights unless absolutely necessary), I got the good signal, dug, and shook the sand out of the scoop. There in the bottom was a very small gold ring. It looked like what he had described, but it was pretty small, so I sent a picture, and Carlos affirmed it was the one. It was about 12:30 AM, and I had a long walk back to the car. I let him know that I would contact him the next day for a return. We got together the next day, and he told me about the sentimentality of the ring, and I understood how it meant so much to them. A little adventure lead to a bunch of happiness.

Torrie contacted me at 11:00 AM about a ring she lost the day before at the beach. Seeing it was a weekend I knew if there was to be any hope, the search had to happen now. The beach is cleaned daily by machine, so I had to go right away to do the search. She was not able to meet me there, but was able to give me enough information to be sure I was searching the correct area, and I was on my way.

I got to the area, and was relieved to see that no one had set their belongings in the area, so I would be free to search. I did notice though that the machines had covered part of the search area, so I was hoping they did not go into the area of the loss. I began furthest from the groomed area working my way in that direction. Pass after pass, finding tin foil, bottle caps, and other miscellaneous metal trash, but no ring. I worked all of the way to the part that had been machine cleaned with no luck, and then began to search the cleaned beach. 3 or 4 passes in I get a solid signal, put the scoop in, and there was a beautiful diamond ring in the bottom. They missed! I contacted Torrie to tell her it had been found, and we arranged to meet the next day for the return. When we met, she was very happy to have her ring back, and I was happy to have been a part of the return.

Yonatan contacted me because he had lost his ring at the beach earlier in the day, and had exhausted all possibilities of finding it. It was about 9:00 PM, but told him that because the beach is detected frequently, and cleaned by machines in the morning, that I would go that night if he would wait for me. He agreed, and I was on my way.

When I got there Yonatan was with a group of friends, and they came over as I was walking out to them. They were excited at the possibility of him getting his ring back, as was I. He told me he was playing volley ball when the ring came off, and he knew when and where it happened. In fact they had even marked the spot with a sandal. He told me it was silver, and began to describe it, when I said, that it will probably be the only ring I find that night. Well I turn the detector on, swing a couple of times, and get a solid silver tone in the head phones. I dig, and in the scoop is a silver ring. I hold it out for Yonatan, who comes over. He takes it, holds it in his hand, and says to my surprise, this ring is not mine. Who would have known? So I continued the search working pass after pass until I was a good distance outside of the designated search area when I got another solid silver tone, dug, and had another silver ring in the scoop. This time it was his, and the excitement among his friends was electric. It was about 11:00 PM. He then told me he was on vacation from Israel, and was going back the next week. We got to talk a little about his country, because my wife and I had visited back in 2019, and had a wonderful time. So great to see so many smiles in one place!

When Jared called they had already left the beach. It seems that he had his ring in the beach chair, and when they were leaving, the chair was picked up, and ring vanished. I asked if he would be able to meet me there, and at that time he was not available, so I told him I would go and do the search for him if given the information on the area. He agreed, and sent me very detailed and concise directions as to where the loss occurred.

I got to the beach a little later in the evening hoping that the crowds would have thinned out. I began my search starting at the furthest possible limit, and worked my way towards the other limit. I did have to weave in and out of beach goers who had their blankets out. I continued to search, not finding much because this is a very clean beach thanks to the very good county beach machines. As I made pass after pass without finding much, I came to a spot where some people had a blanket on the beach, and folded it over to protect their belongings while they went into the water. That gave me a couple of feet more to search, and low and behold, I struck gold in that spot. I called Jared telling him, and sent a picture of the ring I found. He told me that was it, and he was now free to come down and pick it up. Just another great day providing reasons for people to smile.

Tyler contacted me to tell me he lost his wedding ring in the sand at the beach. I asked if he was still at the beach, but said he had already left, and was on his way to a different venue. I had a previous scheduled appointment for the day my self, and would not be available until about 11:30 PM. I asked if that would work for him, and he said it would, so he sent me all of the information regarding the loss, because he was not able to meet me at the beach when I went.

I got home, retrieved my equipment, and ended up at the beach almost at the time I had given him. I let him know when I arrived, and would let him know when I would finish. I set boundaries much broader that the area he had given me, 1) because it was dark, and 2) because I did not want to miss any possibility of finding his ring. I began a grid from the top of the slope, and worked out on the beach. Pass after pass on a very clean beach, not finding much in the way of even trash metal. Then after about 9 passes, I got a good signal, dug, and had a ring in the scoop. I had not asked him what it looked like, so I sent him a text saying I found a ring, and asked him to describe his.  It was his ring. I then offered to drive it to him then, and he gave me the address. I got it to him, and he was very grateful, telling me that he and his wife were going to celebrate their 3rd wedding anniversary in 3 weeks. What a great feeling it is to be able to help people like Tyler.
