Wedding Ring Lost in Sand .. Belmont Shores, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

March 25, 2015

Eric called about 1pm asking to rent a metal detector. I explained to him about the cost of renting and how far away the nearest detector shop is located.
He told me that he was sure where the titanium ring was located. He was in Belmont Shores Penensula at the beach. After talking to him about how I could help him find his ring and show him how the metal detector works. I actually thought I would let him use my detector while I stood by. When I arrived he told me that he had been arguing with his wife of three months , Josselyn. In the heat of the moment he tossed his wedding band over the 4 ft. block wall into the sand on the other side. He said, as he was doing it he thought it would be easy to find. After three hours of searching the sand he went to his smart phone locating TheRingFinders.com .
When I got to the location he showed me an area of approximately 50×50 ft. where he thought it to be. Then he said they had to be somewhere by 3 pm. It was going to be a little more difficult than I expected. This was not a situation where we could do a detector demonstration. I decided not to waste time. So I set up close to the wall in the center, planning to do a spiral grid. I started swinging and within 3 ft. got a good signal 3 inches deep. I called Eric over to let him hear the signal before retrieving the metal under my search coil. When I dug into the sand with my scoop there was Eric’s ring.
Both Eric and Josselyn were elated and thankful. It was a pleasure to help them.

Lost Wedding Ring Houston, Texas (Recovered)

  • from Sugar Land (Texas, United States)
Contact:

I received the following email from Mark this morning regarding his lost Wedding Ring.

 

Hi John,

My tungsten-carbide wedding band slipped off this morning in some short grass. I know the 5×5′ area it’s in, but after 10 minutes of searching I had to give up. I would like to know if you could come try your skills at finding it.

The location is at the corner of Chimney Rock and South Braeswood. If you can help, let me know your availability and we can work out a schedule.

thanks,

Mark

Mark and I met in Houston this afternoon and searched for his missing ring. The search  area was a grass field adjacent to a roadway where he exits the running track. The recovery took less than 10 minutes. Marks ability to put us in the right spot was the main factor in the fast recovery. Nice work Mark.

Lost Dog Collar in Laural Canyon Dog Park, Los Angeles, CA…Found

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

P1020659P1020656

I received a call from Audrey about a lost dog collar, lost at a dog park. The collar was from her friend Sandra’s former dog who had been her close companion for many years, but had passed away. She now had a beautiful German Shepherd pup that the collar went on when Audrey took him and her own dog to the dog park. Pups being what they are were playing and exploring when as Audrey explained it to me “The pup went into the weeds and trees with his clothes on, and came out naked” (the collar was missing).

We agreed to meet on Wednesday morning to conduct a thorough search of the area. I looked at the hillside, and it full of tall weeds and a lot of dead tree snags; a perfect place for the collar to be lost. Audrey told me that there was a tag with a Swiss cross and the dog’s name, that was attached to the collar which was very important as well. I put on a 6 inch coil in order to get into all of the small spaces between weeds and snags. I searched for about two hours until I finally found the collar, but the tag was not with it. I searched around the area for the tag hoping it fell off in the same area, but was unable to come up with it. The park is very large, and Audrey thought there might have been another spot where the tag might have come off, so I searched that area as well, but was unable to find the tag. Fortunately I was able to find the collar. I was able to provide some closure to the loss with the collar find.

Update 4-4-15:

Sandra found the missing dog tag close to home, so she has been reunited with both the tag and the collar.

Audrey sent the following email to include here:

Hello Steve,

Thank you so much for including our story on your blog and for coming out to help us.
I heard that Sandra called you and you went back to look for the tag, you are an amazing person.
Truly, I cannot thank you enough.
All the best,
Audrey

Confirmation Medallion Lost at Torrance Beach, CA…Found.

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

P1020655P1020653

On my way out to a ring search in Newport Beach last Sunday night, I received a call from Maya who told me about a St. Michael medallion she lost at the beach, and asked if I would try to find it for her. I let her know that I was on my way to help someone else at the time, but told her that after I was finished, I would go to the beach she lost the medallion at, and do a search. She did give me very specific directions, and I felt comfortable going because I know the area well. There was a sense of desperation in her voice, so I knew it was important to her that this item be found. I also knew that this beach is cleaned very well on a daily basis by the county, so there was no time like the present to do the search.

I successfully finished the search for the ring and headed to the other beach in Torrance which was about 30 miles away. When I got there it was about 11:30 PM, and I got my gear and began my search. I searched for about half an hour, searching out the box she had laid out for me over the phone, and found the medallion. I sent her a text immediately giving her the good news, and received one back about 4:30 AM from a very thankful young lady. We arranged to meet at the location of the loss today, and her father came along as well. I was glad he did when I asked about the significance of the medallion. He explained that this medallion was given to him when he was 12 years old at his Confirmation, and he had kept it since then. This piece of jewelry is over 40 years in the family. He then gave it to his daughter at her Confirmation. It was at this point that I realized the huge importance of returning this to the family. The story of this St. Michael medallion needed to continue, and it has; I am so happy to be part in it. Great smiles on father and daughter.

Lost Gold Ring in Long Beach, CA Park…Found.

P1020652P1020651

We were out visiting my brother-in-law in Thousand Oaks last night, and were finishing up a dinner at a local restaurant when I received a call from Brain about 8:30 PM about the loss of his wife’s ring. It was lost in a park, and he wondered if I would be willing to come and find it for them. I told him I would, but explained that I was about 70 miles out from Long Beach, and it would take a while for me to get home, gather my equipment, and get to his location. I told him if he would be willing to meet me there, I would come. Fortunately they lived close to the park so he agreed to meet me when I arrived.

I finally arrived at the location at about 11:00 PM, and Brian was there to guide me in, and help me get parking, which was scarce. The park was small, so for them to narrow down the scope of the search was relatively simple. Brian showed me the area, and explained how his wife had thrown something for their dog to retrieve, when her ring flew off of her finger. The problem was that it was getting dark at that time, and the grass was browned, so with the lighting conditions, and the ring being a similar color as the grass made it almost impossible to see. I began my grid, and made two passes encountering a lot of trash metal and some coins, which I did not dig because I knew I was looking for a surface loss. When I made my turn for the third pass I heard a good sound that was showing shallow, so I got the pin pointer, and fine tuned my search. In the light of the pin pointer I saw the ring we were hoping to find. All this time Brian continued his relentless search for his wife’s ring. When I had the ring in my hand I looked up to see Brian bent over with his flashlight in one hand, searching through the grass with his other hand, and I asked him if we hadn’t been searching at least 15 minutes, to which he agreed. I then said that he might want to come over and see what I had found, to which an expression of disbelief came over his face, when I held out the ring.

Brian explained that his wife was given a ring by her late grandfather, which she used to make a replica (this lost ring) that would fit her finger so she could wear it in remembrance of him. So to lose this ring was to lose something very precious in memory. I am so glad to have been able to restore joy in this family, see Brian’s smile, and know his wife was smiling too.

Brian sent the following email to include here:

Steve,

You are the man! Thank you so much for coming over tonight.  I know you were busy and enjoying your evening, yet you made time to make our night.  You are a great man for doing this work.  This was your 3rd ring in as many nights and you simply kick ass at making people happy.  Thank you so very much and many blessings to you and your family!!!

Warmest Regards,

Brian & Sara Morrison

Lost Wedding Ring at Newport Beach, CA…Found.

I was on my way last night to pick up dinner at about 6:30 PM from the local Mexican take out restaurant when I received a call from Briana asking if I would be able to help her find a lost wedding ring. She explained that she and her husband were in Newport Beach, so let her know that I would be able to help after I ate my dinner. I let her know it would take me about two hours to arrive at the search location if they would be willing to wait. She agreed to wait, so I ate fast, got my gear together, and got on my way.

I wanted to do the search as soon as possible, so I could go over the area before the county beach cleaners came by. When I got to the location she and her husband Greg were waiting, and took me out to the spot where they had been sitting in the sand. When we arrived at the spot, I looked at the sand, and my heart sank a bit because it looked as though the county had been there already. The area looked as if it had been meticulously raked, but I found out that it was from Greg’s search for the ring before I got there.  It was Greg’s ring that had been lost, and they told me how he had put his ring in the beach chair pocket, but forgot to take it back out when they were going to leave for the day. He put the chair on his back, and during the process of getting everything ready to leave, bent over a few times to pick up items on the sand, which probably caused the ring to fall out. I began my search, and heard a good sound in the headphones, but pulled up a piece of aluminum can. I knew that must have discouraged them a bit. I kept looking and again heard another good sound, but this time when I looked in my scoop there was Greg’s ring. I pulled it out and asked Greg if his ring looked like the one I was holding in my hand. Immediately a gush of emotion came from the two of them, and the joy was evident. Briana told me how they had gone more than half way home, which is more than 50 miles away before they realized the ring was missing. In Los Angeles, and Orange County traffic, that constitutes a long drive, and then a long drive back. Also the time they had been searching the sand, when combined with the driving time had taken an emotional toll on them.

The two had been together since high school, and had gotten married 4 years ago. The ring is specially engraved with “B ♥ G”, which makes this very dear to the both of them. Sure a ring can be replaced, but the story of the “ring” can not be replaced, it becomes a new ring with a new story. I am so glad that I was able to continue the ring’s story, restore joy to Briana and Greg , and put smiles back on their faces. I am sure they had a comforting ride home, and a good night’s sleep.

Greg sent the following email to include here:

Steve,
Thanks again for your help last night. You can’t imagine how devastated I was when I realized that the ring was missing, and then again after 2+ hours of digging through the sand on my own.  Thankfully you came to the rescue and I’m so grateful that you were will and able to help on a Sunday evening. Briana and I truly appreciate your service and will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who finds themselves in a similar situation. Hope your other calls were successful and that you didn’t get home too late.
Again, much appreciated and all the best!
Greg and Briana

Lost Platinum Wedding and Engagement Rings at Paradise Cove, Malibu, CA…Found.

We have been having some unseasonably warm summer-like days here in Southern California insomuch that the beaches are crowded. I even spent the morning having an early surf session. I was relaxing in the early evening about 5:20 PM when I received a call from Eugene. He told me how his wife had lost her wedding ring at the beach in the sand, and wondered if I would be willing to come and look for it.

After he told me where it happened I told him it would take me about two hours to drive there. I knew I had to go right away, because the sooner you detect a loss the better. I gathered my equipment and got on my way. Fortunately traffic was light for Los Angeles, so the trip went smooth, and I arrived about 7:30 PM. Eugene met me at the beach, and showed me the area they suspected the ring to be in. It was then that his Wife JuAnne mentioned that it was two rings that were lost, both her engagement ring and wedding band. She told me she had taken them off to apply sunscreen, and put them in her shorts pocket, but for some reason later she shook the shorts, and believed that was when they were lost.

I began my search in the area, and dug up a few surprises, but not the rings. Then Eugene mentioned that it may have been over on the other side of where I was searching, so I began a new grid. It wasn’t but about 5 minutes longer until I heard the good sound of precious metal in my ears. I dug, and retrieved the engagement ring, and knew it wouldn’t be long before I had her wedding band in my scoop. Another few swings, and there it was, and joy filled the air. Their two young children were excited to see the whole operation unfolding, and were investigating everything I was doing, so they too were excited to know that there was success on the beach. Eugene and JuAnne told me they looked to buy a metal detector, but were unable to find one. I explained how it would have been hard because the different metal on the beach would have made their metal detecting very difficult. They were glad to have found The Ring Finders web directory, and I am glad also, because I believe The Ring Finders have the highest caliber people around associated with it. What great smiles!

Eugene sent the following email to include here:

Steve, you are an amazing human being! JuAnne wasn’t sure if she lost her rings at the beach or left them at home.  When we got home and did not find them, we were in a panic.  I began googling places to purchase a metal detector and started youtubing instructions on how to use one when i came upon theringfinders.com website.  I am naturally suspicious of anything on the internet but i came upon your name and blog on the website and read through a few of the incredible stories and decided to take a chance.  You were 2 hours away and relaxing and did not hesitate to drive out right away to help.  When you met me on the beach, a kind employee at the restaurant was helping us comb through the sand with a sifting shovel but to no avail.  After only a few minutes of searching, you pulled out some scrap metal and bottle caps and I already started to lose hope.  But then you stopped and dug out something – I heard clanking in your shovel and I saw a smile on your face and I knew you found one of the rings.  You found the engagement diamond ring I gave to JuAnne 11 years ago!!  Then you found her wedding band in minutes.  I can’t tell you how incredible that moment is when you pulled her engagement ring out of the sea of sand.  It would be so easy for someone in your position to take advantage of these type of desperate situations, but you are such an honest and generous person and i can tell that you genuinely want to help people.  Through this experience, we learned 1.) never wear jewelry to the beach 2.) there are still good people out there in the world and that is inspiring.  Big shout out to theringfinders.com network for connecting me with Super Steve!

JuAnne sent the following email to be included here:

I can’t express my gratitude enough to Steve! To have a random person we found in the internet help us find my ring was such a leap of faith and it totally paid off! What an amazing gift to be able to find, and bring joy back to someone’s heart when you thought something so dear to you was lost forever. Steve provides such a unique and personal service, and he does it with honesty, kindness, and you can tell that he really takes joy in reuniting people with the items that they lost. What a great service you provide, Steve and Theringfinders.com. Our little family thanks you so much!!
