Amy called to see if I could find a gold chain and charm that belonged to her son that was lost in the palisades fire. I met with her and began to sift through the ashes for about an hour when I found the special necklace . Amy said that was the most important thing she was looking for because it was a gift that she had bought for her son with his initial on it.
Audra called me and asked if I thought I could find her very sentimental diamond engagement ring that was lost when her house was destroyed in the palisades fire. It had belonged to her husbands grandmother and was the ring he used to propose to her before they got married and had children many years before. I met her a couple of days later and followed her to the property. this was to painful for her so she left me with her husband to search for the ring. After about two hours of sifting and removing debris I found the ring. He couldn’t believe his eyes. when Audra returned her husband took the ring in his hand and said come with me. Then he did something that I haven’t seen in over 30 years of returning jewelry to there owners. He walked up to her got down on one knee and proposed with that ring for the second time in over 10 years. It brought tears to her eyes as well as mine. She said its a miracle. I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life.

*** Justin and his brother were at Emerald Bay which is located in Laguna Beach, CA. His brother lost a white gold bracelet in the dry sand earlier in the day. After searching for a long time, Justin set out to buy or rent a metal detector.
During Justin’s attempt to locate a metal detector on line, he found my contact information. His call to me was not long. Basically , I needed to know if it was lost in dry sand and the location was less than 5 miles from where I live. I met him within a short time and found the gold bracelet using a Minelab Manticore metal detector.

*** James called me from Cresent Bay in Laguna Beach , CA. He was with his family and had lost his white gold wedding band. It’s located less than six miles from my home, so I was able to meet James on the beach soon after talking to him.
He told me that he believed the ring had come off his finger somewhere between their beach towels or in the water where he had been teaching his daughter to boogie board. He also told me it was identifiable because it had his fingerprint engraved inside the band.
An hour after grid searching the whole area, the ring did not show. We discussed a few more possibilities, when he remembered that he had gone 100 yards south to skim board away from the swimmers.
I headed to that area knowing that the tide had already fallen low enough to have a good chance to find the ring, if it was there. “Boom” 10 minutes later James’ ring was in my scoop. I’m glad we took the time to discuss where else he had been as he had not told me of his other activities. It was a great day at a beautiful beach with an awesome family and my pleasure to help them.

I was contacted by Tim who had lost his gold wedding ring. He was not sure but he thought it flew off his hand in the backyard when he was throwing hay. Tim has some dogs and the backyard was getting a bit muddy so he was trying to keep the yard from turning into a mud pit. He normally uses his right hand but after having shoulder surgery he was forced to use his left. It was after he was working in the yard he noticed his ring was missing. When Tim called he was a little frustrated as he had went to a local tool rental and rented a metal detector but all it did was beep! I told Tim that was normal and I would check to see when I could come out.
I checked my scheduled and the weather and decided that I could make it the next day. I took off and let Tim know I was coming. Of course the weather had looked great but when I pulled in it started to rain. Tim showed me the yard, pretty standard with a steep incline on both sides. He was guessing it was on the flat part where he had spread most of the hay. I got to work and much to my surprise the ground sounded pretty good and I was able to use my large coil. I cleared the first part with no luck and went down to the steep incline on the right side. After a few passes I ran into the ring, I don’t know if I saw it or heard it first but there it was. I picked it up and it was a beautiful ring and big! I walked up the hill and told Tim it was pretty ugly down there just before I handed him his ring. He could not believe I had found it and gave me a big hug. Tim then told me when I did not find it on the flat his heart had sunk and he thought it was gone. Funny thing is that thought had never crossed my mind yet as I has a lot more area to cover. I was glad to have found it and we thanked St. Anthony as we had both asked for some divine intervention. Tim and I talked for quite a while afterwards and his wife was also kind enough to thank me as well. Tim explained to me he reached out to his jeweler and the replacement cost for the ring was double or maybe even more. More importantly he told me the diamonds in the ring were extra special as they were from both his and his wife’s families and even if he had to have the ring replaced he did not anymore special diamonds to put into it. Thankfully he did not have to worry about that. It was awesome to meet another kind and extremely generous client and reunite him with his special wedding ring.
Eric reached out to me via email. He’d been in a rush to take down his Christmas decorations before an incoming snowstorm and, in the process, had lost his yellow gold wedding ring. We arranged to meet after his workday ended.
Upon arrival, Eric showed me the area where he’d been working. The search area, blanketed by about three inches of snow, wasn’t very large. He mentioned he needed to pick up his daughter from school but would return in about ten minutes.
As soon as Eric and his wife left, I began my search. Just a minute later, my detector gave a strong signal in the gold range. I brushed away the snow, and there it was—Eric’s gleaming yellow-gold wedding ring. I snapped a few photos and waited for their return.
When I saw them approaching, I pretended to still be searching. Eric’s wife got out of the car first, and I quietly asked her to wait a moment. Eric followed and said, “I guess you haven’t had any luck.” I asked if he recalled shaking his hands or doing anything that might have flung the ring beyond the immediate area. He didn’t. While he scanned the lawn, I revealed the ring from my gloved hand. His wife noticed first, and her surprised smile was wonderful to see. Eric’s reaction was even better.
They were both overjoyed. His wife was particularly thrilled, exclaiming, “This is great! Now I can finally get that dining room carpet and not have to buy him a new ring!”
I love my hobby!
This Gold Cross & Necklace hunt began when I got a call from Jose who is from Columbia and was vacationing on Oahu. While enjoying the waters of Paradise Cove Beach, Jose had taken his cross and necklce off for safe keeping and placed it on a towel. Unbeknownst to the family members someone used the towel and when Jose came out of the water the cross & necklace were no where to be found. He found “Metal Detector services” on Google and gave me a call. I was wrapping up my work day, so I told Jose I would run home, grab my gear and head on over in about an hour. They waited for me to arrive and when I got there Jose and his lovely wife met me on the beach to show me where they thought the cross & necklace would be. Jose drew a box in the sand and I started the grid search. A few minor trash targets, then a nice solid 18 on the Manticore and in one scoop there was the beautiful necklace glistening in the scoop. Jose and his family were overjoyed as I was in the last line of the grid and they were worried. I always try hard to find Jesus and today we did. Aloha to Jose and his family!

*** Martha and her husband were boarding a small electric boat for a evening cruise of the Newport Beach Back Bay, Orange County, California.
As she stepped off the dock onto the Duffy Boat she felt her gold diamond bracelet slip off her wrist and heard it splash in the water.
When they returned, Martha got online, calling me for help. The location was less than a mile from my home. We met at 9pm to access the location for a recovery attempt as soon as possible. The tide was highest of the day and it would be 6 ft. lower tomorrow in the daytime.
This search would require several hours to prepare for a dive, so we met the next afternoon. I brought my diving / detecting gear and Rudy who would be my dive buddy. Rudy is learning to search with my equipment and he will be my back up diver when I can’t get to a dive search.
Our plan was to switch off diving for the bracelet. I wanted Rudy do the first dive. Fifteen minutes into the session, Rudy came up with the beautiful gold diamond bracelet. He got to experience the joy of returning a very sentimental piece of jewelry.
I now have myself and two other divers that I can count on to cover these dive recoveries. Dive recoveries take so much preparation. It’s always good to have backup divers that can also be present. Dive detecting needs a buddy diver or at least a dive spotter.
Available now to answer any questions you have about how this service works.. All your questions are important to me. We may be able to save your sanity.

It was the second warmest day since January 1st and a grate day to clean up some of the winter’s wrath on tree limbs. Dan was in the wooded area next to an old cranberry bog behind his house doing just that. He was carrying a fallen limb to the rear edges of his property when a low hanging branch snagged one of his hearing aids from his ear. After hours of searching, without finding the hearing aid, Dan reached out for help.
A call to Eleanor, at J&E Enterprises, got Dan two useful bits of suggestions. First he was encouraged to call one of TheRingFinders and in the meantime he could try dragging a magnet. Dan called me first. I answered the call and I was on my way. While waiting for me to arrive the search with a magnet was on. Something I had never thought of while searching for any of the 6 hearing aids that I have returned.
As I had done the day before, I adjusted my detector to the specific model hearing aid I was searching for. The area was again less than a 20 foot diameter around the branch. A standard cross hatch search pattern because of the foliage and terrain was about impossible. About 20 minutes passed with many bogus iron alerts from my detector, right tone but wrong numeric reading. A slower, shorter swing of the detector started on the outer edge of the most probable area that the hearing aid would be in. Low and behold right under the branch that had caused the loss and again, as in yesterday’s find, the hearing aid could not be seen while standing above it. I had to get on my knees and carefully move the foliage that was covering the hearing aid before retrieving it for Dan.
This was my 200th return since I joined TheRingFinders and as I did on the 100th return I wanted to give something special to the owner of the lost item. Unfortunately I did not have the Carpe Diem token with me and I had to return to Dan’s home the next day. The token was designed by a metal detecting friend, Jim Wirth. Sentimental Memories are something that cannot be replaced and I am so fortunate to have so many. Thanks to all that have reached out to TheRingFinders for help and in making Unforgettable Memories.
