Theringfinders Metal detecting service helped find and return a Lost Ring at Oceanside Pier.

Saturday,September 11th 2016.  I was at home wrenching on my old T.R.F Racecar when the phone rings📞 ..from a North county guy who was just playing football with friends and family.Two of his gold rings fell into the dry sand.  “Born by the beach” I dropped my monkey wrench and was there in minutes. Although Knowing This area does get cleaned by beach sifting machines and dozens of local hobbie detectorist’s. It was fortunate after meeting & talking to Dustin about where,when,how,He lost it?

I saw the 15’x15′ area of dry sand with finger Combe marks and classified sand mounds after they found 1 ring but not the other while finger searching..(Calling us right away can be an easy search & rescue).Plus I  knew I could help find it Fast)  in this circumstance.

Turned on my Advanced Pulse induction Machine and the first 10′ grid line near tables & trash cans I hear 8-10 pieces of trashy metal. Wow! Over Cautious only dug 3 garbage.

I usually “dig it all” on Ring calls just to be safe but this area was loaded with nails,Corona bottle caps,wire,you name it! So I flipped the switch in my head to (Gold Ring mode only)..Then skipped on to my second pass 1 min later & 2nd target I heard 🏁🏁🏁

I knew smiling🙂… Said to Dustin it’s here then,scooped it up…walking towards him shaking the sand out of the scoop ~~Magic~~! He got to see it first,before putting this Nice 14k wedding ring back on where it belongs. Hey,Dustin💍Finding your ring is a gift that keeps on giving back to others. Im glad I could help and look forward to more stories to share.

I enjoy these Calls, Not for Fortune or fame but for the Smiles,The hunt,& Good Karma. What a truly priceless find and return😊!

Call or text me anytime of the day

Ring lost in Carmel Valley, Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Greg called me asking for help finding his wedding ring in the backyard pool area of a friend’s home. He had been playing pool volleyball, when he lost his ring sometime during the fun. When he got out of the water, he noticed his naked finger, and started a search. They dove back in the pool and scanned the bottom, checked the filter, and combed the surrounding area…..even that night with a powerful light, hoping to catch a glint of sparkle from one of the stones in the band. No luck, so, Greg found me online and arranged to meet me at the friend’s house. When I arrived, we discussed the events leading up to the present, and I started my search while they went and rechecked the pool filter one more time. I started my search at one end of the yard beyond the west end of the pool. Not 2 minutes later, I found the ring on the first signal. It was just 6 inches from the fence in some sand. Those are the ones we like! Quick and drama free! Good thing, as some of the yard would have been a challenge with rocks, bushes and other landscaping that would have been a lot harder to search. A pleasure to meet everyone and thank you Greg for the reward.100_1484 100_1485

Platinum wedding band lost at Coronado, Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

John and his family were visiting from Las Vegas and enjoying the beach at Coronado when John lost his ring out in the surf. No way to visually find it once it hits the bottom and gets covered by sand. They saw a a couple metal detecting nearby and ask for their help, but, the ring still couldn’t be found. When I got the call for help from John’s wife Angela, I was planning another ring search at a nearby beach, so, I added John’s to my to-do list. They had already returned home, so, I  asked Angela to send me a map of the search area and a pin poked into the most likely spot. The next decent low tide was about 4am. I started with my first ring search (actually my third attempt for this ring) and after that turned out to be unsuccessful, I headed to Coronado to give that one a try. Armed with my map and a verbal description of the search area, I hunted for about and hour when I got a good signal at dead low in ankle deep water. Sure enough, after verifying the description, it was John’s ring. I sent a text to Angela who arranged for the ring to be shipped home to them. She didn’t tell John that it was found, but, instead, surprised him the following Friday night by handing him a present. When he opened it, he couldn’t believe what he saw! It was all caught on camera, so, I’ll try to figure out how to attach the video. For now, here’s a photo of the ring and of a very happy family. Thank you for the reward and nice card.100_1475 JohnSring

Man’s Palladium Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean – Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Mary D. saying that she had posted on CL about her husband Tim’s lost wedding band and had gotten an e-mail from someone referring me, that someone turned out to be my son-in-law. I explained that I was a member of The Ring Finders and an independent metal detectorist that could help find her husband’s lost ring. She said that he had lost it at approximately 1pm (roughly 2 hours before high tide) and somewhere within a 2 block area. This big of an area was going to be a tough search but I agreed to meet them on the beach in about 15 minutes.

When I arrived I met both Mary and Tim and thankfully Tim narrowed the search area down to about a 40ft width and out in the surf about 30-40 ft. I told them what I was going to do in the way of the search and told them they didn’t need to stick around and that I’d call them when I found it. I started a north/south grid search working the wet sand to make sure it wasn’t lost there. I then changed to an east/west grid running from the wet sand out to waist deep water. My sixth line, in thigh deep water, I get a great signal on my White’s PI, take a scoop of sand, shake it out and there’s the ring staring back at me. I called Mary and had her verify the inscription in the ring which was 4/16/16, the date they got married, she identified the inscription and I told her I had the ring in my hand. Ironically their wedding month and day were the same as me and my wife’s. It was also ironic that Tim’s dad and I were both in the Coast Guard together although we didn’t know each other but we had served at a couple of the same duty stations but not at the same time.

When Tim and Mary showed up to get their ring they were both shocked that it was found but extremely happy it was.

Tim and Mary, Thank you for trusting in me to find your lost treasure and best of luck to both of you in all your future endeavors.

Jim

Sentimental Tri-color 10K Gold Ring Lost in the Intracoastal Waterway – Found and Returned Holden Beach NC.

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Heidi A. on Sunday, August 28th asking if I could possibly help find her toe ring that she lost while swimming with her sister-in-law Jennifer in the Intracoastal Waterway at Holden Beach NC. Heidi went on to say that the ring was specially made from another ring that had been given to her. She also said that she had noticed her toe ring was gone as she was leaving the water and that her foot had sunk up to her ankle in the mud. I got the area it was lost in, checked the tide table and saw I had a small window of opportunity for low tide and started the 45 minute drive.

When I arrived at the spot it was around 10pm and pitch black, on top of that there were broken clam and oyster shells all over the beach and with every step I was getting stuck in the mud. I searched for about an hour and a half from the high tide line to mid tide and called it a night. The next day I arrived a little before low tide and searched for an hour and a half knee deep in mud and my feet were cut up from the shells and still didn’t have any luck.

I decided to pick up a pair of hip waders and give it another try two days later. The hip waders worked great but I still wasn’t finding the ring. I talked to Heidi and she had mentioned that Jennifer was going to be back that weekend. I suggested that Jennifer meet me either Saturday or Sunday to give me a more exact area where the ring was lost.

Jennifer met me on Sunday during low tide, showed me the area she thought it was in but thought Heidi might have lost it in the mud and not the water. I had my White’s PI and decided to start my grid in the right corner and go straight out to knee deep water and work the grid from the shore to the water and back. First target was in the mud and was a fishing weight. I walked out to about upper calf depth and got a second target, as I’m separating the thick mud with my fingers in the scoop I hear the clank of something metal – BINGO!!! I washed the ring off and walked back up to Jennifer, who had stuck around and said “boy these conditions are horrible”. I’m pretty sure Jennifer thought I was all finished until I stuck my closed fist out to her and dropped Heidi’s ring in her hand. I love seeing the expressions on people’s faces when I give them back a lost treasure. Although it wasn’t Heidi, I think Jennifer did a really good job in showing her excitement for Heidi.

I took a picture of the ring and sent it and a text to Heidi saying “Surprise!”. I think it took Heidi less than 10 seconds to call me. She couldn’t believe it.

Unfortunately Heidi had to wait a few days before she got her ring back but she knew for sure it was on its way.

Thank you Jennifer for putting me in the right spot which was a tremendous help and a huge time saver.

Thank you Heidi for the very generous reward and the Starbucks gift card (I love Starbucks). Also thank you very much for trusting in me to find your lost treasure.

Jim

Lost Go Pro 3+ in Aulani Disney Resort Ko Olina Lagoon…FOUND!!!

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

aGoProAulani
aGoProAulani2
I got a call from Karlo who told me that while he was swimming in the Ko Olina lagoon at the Disney Resort he dropped his Go Pro HERO 3+ in the water. Because he had his daughter with him on a board he didn’t want to panic her by jumping into the 10-15 foot deep water to retrieve it. Also the remnants of Hurricane Madeline are causing high surf and the Lagoon is stirred up more then normal making usually crystal clear visibility very low. Ten foot visibility in Hawaii is horrible. Karlo did take note to where he dropped the camera in reference to an orange buoy. That buoy moves around on it’s mooring to over reef rocks and silty sand. I decided to go take a look myself without my detector to decide which one to use. I put on my scuba gear and swam out to the buoy. Visibility improved a bit where I was at so I decided to do a visual search since I had a 3/4 full tank of air. The buoy was currently over the rocky reef area so I looked down into all the pukkas (Hawaiian for holes) that might be hiding the Go Pro. As I moved away from the buoy towards shore it got sandy and seaward more rocky. I started to make a big arc around the buoy mooring and found a pair of Ray-Ban P glasses that were lost the previous weekend and we might be able to get those returned. As I was coming back towards the rocky area I spotted the Go Pro lying on the bottom face up next to a few boulders. Great I thought. Had it been in the sand I would have needed my metal detector as it definitely would have been silted over. I swam back to shore and went to my truck to call Karlo and give him the good news. Karlo said he never saw me surface after going down and started to worry. I told him I swam ashore underwater. He told me he was so grateful because all his babies photos from this vacation were on the camera as he hadn’t downloaded them yet. Memories saved and the smile was quite evident and huge. Aloha to Karlo!
