Found Ring at Huntington Beach, CA

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)

I

I was working in Southern California for a few months so I had the opportunity to Metal Detect at Huntington Beach. Huntington Beach had been my beach of choice when I grew up in Southern California. Lots of good memories there.

I was detecting just on the North side of the pier at low tide on Sunday and found a class ring. San Gabriel Mission High School Class of 2018. The name on the ring was Maddi and it had an inscription inside the band that said…Breathing dreams like air.  A line from The Great Gatsby poem by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The next day, Monday, I called the school to tell them I had found a students’ ring. The person on the phone said we have Maddi working in the office this Summer. Let me have her call you back. My phone rang right away. Maddi said “I can’t believe you found my ring. I wasn’t supposed to be at the beach and my Mom said to not wear it at the beach. I’ve only had it 2 weeks and I’d already lost it. I’m in so much trouble.”  I asked her what the inscription said. “Breathing dreams like air” was her answer. I said Maddi I have your ring and I will bring it to the school at lunch time. The San Gabriel Mission HS was only 15 minutes from my work. Maddi was so happy and grateful to have her class ring back. She would be a senior when school began in the Fall. Good Luck Maddi

Found Lost Ring in Berthound Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Margaret saying she had lost her husband’s ring somewhere on her property. In talking to her  on the phone I could hear in her voice that she was very distraught. We agreed to meet the next morning.

Upon arriving Margaret told me that she had been wearing her husband’s ring since his passing. She was visibly upset saying that she had spent the day working around the house, in the garden, fed the horses and been down by the dock at the lake but did not notice the ring was missing until evening.

I said that it was a very large area to search. I began in the garden which was adjacent to the haystack. Margaret began feeding the horses and as I was watching her I noticed how she took the flakes of hay from the bales in the haystack and threw them over the fence. Finding only one piece of old copper pipe in the garden I moved to the haystack. With the pin pointer I checked in and around all of the bales where the hay was being pulled from. No Luck. Next I went inside the horse pen where the horses were feeding. The ground was damp from the recent snow and mucky from the horses. As I slowly swept the ground the horses reluctantly moved away. My detector beeped with a #7 showing on the visual display and 2 inches in depth. Margaret and I looked at each other. I said “Not to get your hopes up but this is a good gold signal and it’s not very deep.” Using the shovel I moved a piece of mud aside and checked it. The detector beeped again so I split the mud in half and found the part that had the target. I reached down, picked up the piece and broke it in half which revealed a gold mans ring shining brightly in the sunshine. Margaret was overcome with emotion that swept over me also. We hugged with her on one side of the fence and me on the other. She thanked me many times saying she thought the ring was lost forever.

We walked back to the house. Margaret offered me a cup of coffee to warm up and we talked about our children, grandchildren, and life. I drove home knowing we both had a very happy day.

Found Lost Widows Ring in Loveland, Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a text in the evening from Jae asking “Is this Greg The Ring Finder”?  I responded “Yes it is, may I call you”. I did and Jae began by saying that she had lost her sliver widows ring in her back yard. She had been playing with her dog in the snow at the time and had slipped and fallen down. When she got up she shook the snow from her hands. That is when she noticed that the ring was not on her finger. Jae stated that she and some friends that were visiting had sifted through the snow in an attempt to locate the silver ring but that they were unsuccessful. She and I agreed to meet the next day.

Upon arriving I greeted Jae and she showed me to the area in the back yard that she was standing when she noticed the ring missing. Jae was concerned that the search by she and her friends would make the ring more difficult to find.   I assured her that would not be the case.  I explained that because the ring was warm when it left her hand it should have melted it’s way down to the top of the grass and probably stayed right there.

I turned on my Minelab Equinox 800 detector, tuned and set it to the Coins and Jewelry mode. After only about six swings the detector beeped and registered a 26 on the visual display. The depth indicated about 6 inches under the coil. With my foot I moved away four inches of soft snow to reveal a layer of ice two inches thick. I was able to kick the ice and move a large chunk onto the snow. Swinging the coil over that ice indicated that the target was indeed in that piece. With my foot I broke the larger chunk of ice into four smaller parts and swung the coil over each one. The detector again beeped over the target and Jae picked it up. The ring was clearly visible on the edge of the ice. Jae and I hugged and she began to tear up saying how much the ring meant to her. She said  ” That’s amazing. I can’t believe that you found it so fast. We searched and searched and it was right there the entire time. ”

It was a great day having recovered and returned two rings to the owners!!!

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found in Ft. Collins Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Tim saying he had lost his gold wedding ring. He said that he was on his 2nd floor balcony and while shaking snow from his hands his ring came off. Tim said that he heard it hit the concrete floor once then did not hear it again. We arranged for me to come over the next morning to begin the recovery search. Tim said he would not be able to be there but his wife would be home.

The next morning when I arrived I was greeted by his wife Niccole who explained the situation and pointed out the likely search area. She said they had purchased a metal detector but could not find the ring because of all of the false     ” beeping and noises it was making”.  It was in a grassy area between two apartment buildings, snow covered with a lot of sprinklers and underground electrical services. After two trash targets we hit a solid repeatable signal reading 15 on the visual display and at a surface depth. Niccole had the pin pointer and in a short time had the ring in her hand and a big smile on her face. I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Tim. He called me excited that we had been successful because they both thought the ring was lost forever. We said goodbye and Niccole said that she would share The Ring Finders site with family and friends. I headed to my 2nd recovery for the day.

Wedding Ring Found in snow at CSU in Ft. Collins, Colorado

  • from Fort Collins (Colorado, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Michael saying that he had lost his gold wedding ring the day before while walking through the Colorado State University Campus in Ft. Collins, Colorado and asked if I could help. We agreed to meet the following day at 10:00 am. When I arrived a few minutes early Michael was already on site. We said hello and began to discuss the circumstances surrounding the lost ring. The weather was very cold at about 20 degrees with a foot of snow and ice on the ground on the day the ring was lost. Michael said he walks with a spring in his step and swings his arms. He stated that he felt the ring slip to the tip of his finger on the forward swing but did not get his hand closed on the back swing in time to save the ring. He had marked the spot in the snow with his boot. On the CSU student blog Michael found someone who had a metal detector that came to help with no luck. He also had a few volunteers come out with strainers to sift through the snow with no success.

After a few minutes of talking I began by turning on my detector and tuning out all the surrounding electrical interference, most of which was coming from transformers about 25 feet to the South. We hit a few signals that turned out to be trash. Not surprising since we were searching along a sidewalk on a busy street. Then we hit a target with a strong repeatable signal. My detector visual display was reading a steady 17, a good gold number, and telling me that the target was not buried but was on the surface. Michael had the pin pointer so I asked him to begin to search a 5 inch round area. The pin pointer was sounding off but we could not see the ring so I told Michael to move some of the snow, ice and leaves. He did that and the pin pointer stopped beeping. I said “well you have moved the target and that’s a good sign that it’s on top”. I relocated the target with my detector and after checking again with the pin pointer Michael exclaimed ” There it is. there it is. I thought I would never see it again”. He jumped to his feet, stepped forward and hugged me and we high 5 ‘d each other smiling like a couple of kids. He took out his phone, took a picture and sent it to his wife. We walked to my truck to stow my gear. He thanked me many times telling me how much the ring meant to him. We parted ways both sure we had a great day.

Karen called after just losing her wedding ring at the old “Muscle Beach” next to the Santa Monica pier. She was going to go on the rings, so she took her ring off so as not to lose it, but in the process, dropped it in the sand, and could not find it. I left immediately to get there for the search.

When I got there Karen was waiting for me, and took me to the area of the loss. She explained what had happened, and showed me where she was standing when she dropped it. We asked the people in the area if they would allow me to work in the area to find the ring, and they were very gracious in allowing the search. It took about 30 seconds for the recovery, because the ring was right where she thought it was, but because it was a small thin ring it moved around when they were searching for it. Needless to say she was very happy to have it back.

I was contacted by Edwin who had lost his wedding ring at the beach 2 days prior. He had been visiting from Fresno, and had already gone back home but really needed closure on his lost ring, so I asked him to give me all of the necessary directions to guide me back to the exact area he had been. A tough call, but he was able to give me pretty good information for the search.

I followed his exact guideline when I got to the beach, and began my search. Fortunately there were not any people in the area the loss occurred, but it had been 2 days! I started searching, covering a much larger area just to make up for the time element and remembrance issues. I wanted to be sure I covered every possibility. I worked the area for about 30 minutes, finding many different items, but no ring until I got a very good signal, dug, and found his ring. I immediately sent him a picture of the ring telling him of the successful search. When I got home I went directly to the Post Office, and put Edwin’s ring in the mail for him, and then sent him the tracking information. Another happy return!

I got a call from a young man who had lost his phone. He was on a small bridge over a section of a river near his house, when while taking pictures, he dropped the phone in the water. I asked how long it had been since the loss, and he told me a week. My heart dropped when he told me the amount of time that had gone by, but he assured me that the phone should still be there, so I drove out to meet him.

When I got there we walked out to the spot where the loss occurred, and he explained what happened. He also told me that he had done his own searches during that week to no avail. I looked into the water, and the deepest area was no more than 4 feet deep with a sandy bottom, and I was having a hard time figuring out why he wasn’t able to find it; it should have just been laying there! Well I got ready, and stepped into the water, and as soon as my foot hit bottom I understood why it disappeared, there was 8 inches of silt that looked like sand. The bottom was real clean of metal trash, and then under the bridge I received a real good signal, put my scoop in, and up came a beer can. I searched again, and in the same area another good signal, this time it was his phone. It was still there after a week, and still working; amazing. Made his day!

Heirloom Gold Necklace Lost at Hanson Dam…Found and Happily Returned.

Bekah called distraught because she had lost something very sentimental to her while at a family picnic. She and her family had gone to the Hanson Dam Recreation Area for a get together, and while walking around, she noticed the necklace she was wearing was not around her neck any longer. The necklace and pendant had been in her family for generations, and it made her feel extremely bad to know she had lost it. We arranged to meet, and I was on my way.

When I arrived Bekah and I found each other, and she took me out to the area of the loss. The area wasn’t real huge, but the grass area was littered with metal trash which slowed the search process considerably. I searched stopping every few inches to check for the missing necklace, and Bekah followed along with high hopes. We covered all of the area, so I asked if she had been anywhere else, and she showed me another strip of grass she had been in, and I began to search there with her right beside me on the adjacent pavement. My process again was real slow checking every few inches, when all of a sudden I heard a cry of emotion from Bekah. It happened that as she was following me ever so slowly, her foot bumped something on the pavement, and when she looked down, she saw the necklace. She was certain it was lost in the grass, but like I always tell people I help; it may not be where you expect it to be. Also the day she lost it, she was frantic in her search, and she overlooked it though it was in plain sight. Sometimes you just need to slow down a bit, and my slow search made that happen for her. She was thrilled to have it back.
