Silver Pandora Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, Ca…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I had been resting yesterday afternoon when I received a call from Gabriel about a lost ring at the beach. His girl friend had wisely taken her ring off in order go in the water and wrapped it her shirt, leaving it on the towel. Gabriel, not realizing the ring was in the shirt, picked it and towel up in order to dry himself off, and the ring was gone. They searched for it to no avail. He said they were still at the spot, and had it cordoned off. I knew that the ring should be found because the loss had just happened, and they had not left the spot of the loss, so I let them know I would be there as soon as I could make it.

I had to park 3/4 of a mile away, so I boarded my Segway Mini Pro to travel the distance down the strand, with detector in hand and scoop in backpack. I arrived at the spot and met Gabriel. He took me out to the area, and I began my usual questions. I narrowed the spot from his description, and began my search. Within 30 seconds, I had the prettiest little silver ring in my scoop. I held it out to Gabriel, who couldn’t believe it could be found so fast. His girl friend Mariah was gone for a while, and was due back shortly. I wanted to see her reaction when her ring was shown to her. It was at that moment that Gabriel told me that he had bought the ring for her just the day before at a Disneyland store. How cool is that? What great smiles, and happy people; what a joy.

Lost Wedding Band at Outrigger Reef Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:


This ring find began when I got a late evening call from Hope who lives in Kalihi on Oahu. While her husband Vita was exiting the ocean his Wedding Band fell off into the waves of the shore break and disappeared. Thankfully, I only live 10 minutes from Waikiki so I told Hope I’d meet her husband at valet parking. There is no other option unless you want to walk half a mile with your gear. Fifteen minutes later I was on the famous Shore Bird Beach looking for Vita’s ring in the pounding surf break. I tried down in the wave curl (Low Tide Water Mark) but no luck. Then I worked my way up the beach parallel to the shore break. On the third leg I got a nice tone and after three scoops there was Vita’s ring. Hope & Vita were so thankful and obviously relieved. Aloha to Vita & Hope.

Lost college class ring, Lake Mary, Florida……found and returned!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Dave was spraying a mixture of cleaners on his two story home roof, hoping to kill some of the Florida mildew that was growing on his shingles. The pump sprayer he was using began to leak and his hand started to burn. The burning steadily got worse until he had to stop and he then noticed his fingers were actually beginning to bleed! So he tried shaking the liquid off of his hand and the motion caused his 2007 UCF class ring to go flying. Actually only three quarters of his ring went flying as his 14k gold ring had come apart in three pieces. Dave was able to see his ring, shining in the grass down below and after rinsing his hand he went to where he last saw his ring….but he could not find it anywhere. He tried raking the area hoping to bring it to the surface but still his ring remained hidden in the thick grass. Dave then went out and bought himself a small metal detector hoping that it would help locate his lost ring but still no luck. He then went on line and typed in “How to find a ring in the grass” and up popped theringfinders.com and one of the search stories. So he gave me a call and we discussed his situation and I felt quite confident that I could help him find his lost ring. Later that evening I met Dave and he showed me the small grassy area where he dropped his class ring off of the roof. I set my metal detector to the coin and jewelry mode and right away there was obvious electrical interference that caused the detector to chatter constantly. By switching to the Prospecting Mode I was able to begin searching the most likely areas. And sure enough I soon got a nice solid, repeatable signal with low numbers and it pinpointed very shallow. Dave was so grateful to get his lost ring back and it was great to see the joy and relief as he firmly shook my hand. I thanked God for another successful search and as I said my goodbyes, I was happy to have helped another needy person. Lost something recently? Maybe I can help! Give me a call, text or e-mail and we can talk about your situation.

Diamond Wedding Band Lost at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found and Joyously Returned!

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I was on the road last night about 9:20 PM when I received a call from Chelsey. She had lost her wedding band at the beach earlier in the day. She had gone surfing, and wisely took her ring off and left it in her beach bag. When she and her family were getting ready to leave she noticed that another piece of her jewelry had fallen from the bag. She then picked up her towel, and shook the sand from it, the ring was gone. I wasn’t far from the beach, and told her I could be there in 20 minutes, she needed more time, as she was at dinner with her family, so we arranged to meet at 10:15 PM at the beach.

I was waiting as Chelsey and her family rolled up. There was about 7 of them, and we all made our way down to the spot of the loss. Well it was dark now, which made it harder to judge landmarks, so we had to widen the search area. The other problem was that the tide was super high, and as I searched the water would come up and wipe out my grid lines, so I had to pay close attention to where I had already searched in order to cover the area correctly. Chelsey and her family also brought along lights, sifters and colanders to continue the search they had begun earlier. The humor entered into it for me as I looked around, yet I did not say anything until the ring was found, that it looked like a Paleontology convention as everyone was spread around on the sand with their lights and sifters delicately searching for Chelsey’s ring.

I searched for about an hour, moving further out, and closer to the water than they had told me, and could see at times that there was concern that I should be staying in the area they felt sure of, and I understand that feeling. I have been doing this long enough though to know that sometimes the ring isn’t always where the person thinks it is, so I usually persist, and work out of the box, or color outside of the lines so to speak. Well I decided to work much closer to the edge of the slope down to the water when I got a real good signal in the head phones. I dug, and in the scoop was Chelsey’s ring; 11:30 PM. I lifted it up, and was immediately stormed by the entire family, who lined up to give me a hug. WHAT GREAT JOY RESTORED! What a great opportunity to be a help; love it!

Engagement Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA… Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I had gotten back from finding Shane’s ring Friday when I received a text from Lucie who had lost her ring 5 days earlier at the beach. I let her know that I would meet her for the search, but that the time element (5 days) was going to diminish the possibility of a recovery. She had been watching a volleyball game and had removed the ring in order to apply sunscreen to her children, and when the bag it was in was lifted the ring was gone. It took a while to find someone to help, but she needed help and called; I was on my way.

I got to court, and Lucie was there with her two small children, she showed me the spot where she had been sitting on the towel, and she turned to pay attention to the children. I turned on my machine, and made two passes with it, when I got that sound in the head phones, put in the scoop, and there was her ring. I pulled it out to walk over and show her, just as her husband who had just arrived from work walked up; lots of joy. Lucie was so happy, I got a hug and kiss on the cheek, and a wonderful smile to share with the world, another great day!

Hand Made Wedding Ring Lost at Newport Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Last Friday I woke up early to go surfing, the waves had been real good, and it had been a while since I had been. I looked at my phone and noticed I had an email. I opened it and there was an email from Shane who had lost his wedding ring the day before, which had been sent at 1:00 AM. Well scratch the surfing, I had someone to help. I knew that an email sent that early in the morning meant someone who was having a hard time for sleep, and seeking any way to get the ring back. I answered his email, and he got back with me not long after. He explained that he had been playing Frisbee, and believed the ring came off when he threw the disk. We arranged to meet at the beach, and I was on my way.

When I got to the beach, I met Shane, and he took me out to the area where the loss occurred. I could see that he had made grid marks in the area he remembered. We discussed what had happened, and I set out some cones to mark a beginning grid (the area was pretty big). I began to search. I went over the entire coned off area, no ring. I then widened the search to overlap Shane’s own grid marks, no ring. I then went out of the grid area quite a bit thinking that his throwing action might have been a little more severe than he believed it was, no ring. I got with him again, was there anything you might have done to have lost the ring? He told me he had been with the children digging on the slope, sounded likely, searched the slope, no ring. Enter now Shane’s mother, she got with him to explain that she thought he was playing Frisbee even more out of the area we had been searching, so we decided to do a search in the place she recommended. After about 3 passes and 3 and 1/2 hours of total searching, my head phones exploded in sound, I dug, and in the scoop was color, pure color. I put it on my index finger so that when turned to face Shane it would be the first thing he saw. When he did a great big smile came on his face as he exclaimed “I can’t believe it”. Everyone else around came up and wanted to see the ring, which turned out to be 22 karat, or almost pure gold, that had been hand carved in wax by his bride to be, to be poured and finished as her token of her love for him.

Shane and his wife had just celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary just 14 days before, so this recovery meant so much more, WOW this was fun. So much joy this day, flowing in the sands of Newport Beach. What a great day, love it!

Recovered small key saves church big funds, Big Island, Hawaii

Contact:

THE LITTLE THINGS CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT TOO

We got a desperate call from a woman whose church group had helped organize a concert here on the Big Island – and one of the church’s parishioners had lent his car to the concert’s head performer.
The performer had a few hours to kill before his first concert so went to one of our local beaches. As he went back to get ready for his first performance, he suddenly realized his key – and the only key to the car – had been lost in the sand.
He looked for the lost key and finally had to ask to be picked up or miss the concert!
Some of the church members went to the beach the next morning to search for the key with rakes, carefully combing the sand in the area the musician had been.
After three hours they looked online and we got the call – and went immediately to the beach to join them in the hunt.
The site where the key was lost was quite small and had been scoured with rake marks. I searched the area for about 15 minutes with my Excalibur II metal detector, finding wire, fishing weights – and then hit a big target in the sand.
The car key materialized in my scoop as the sand strained out of it.
A key is such a small thing, but finding it saved the congregation from having to hire a tow truck to come to this remote spot and re-key the ignition.
We were happy to help – and remembered that sometimes the most valuable things are often what seem of least value – until they’re not!
