*** Katie called me after she lost her platinum solitary diamond wedding ring. She had taken her daughter to a city park in the west side of Los Angeles, CA. They were in children’s totlot which has a large sand area.
Before leaving the play area. Katie noticed her wedding ring missing from her finger. Katie called her husband to come help her look for the ring. After a couple hours of unsuccessful searching, she found my service scanning online.

It was the day before Valentines. A Wisconsin snowstorm found Milwaukee resident Tim Sobie, blowing snow from his driveway and sidewalk. That was when his unique cobalt wedding ring went missing. Despite his best search efforts Tim was forced to wait until the snow had thawed before resuming his search. Despite his best efforts, however, the ring was nowhere to be seen.
Three weeks later, on March 6th, I received a text message from Tim asking if I might assist. It was a long shot. A public sidewalk presented the troubling thought that a passerby may have found it already. But I could at least search the lawn and driveway areas just in case.
We met the next afternoon. Once on location and while reviewing Tim’s timeline of activities, Tim recalled his snowblower hitting a twig or something in front of his home. It was a logical place to begin searching. Using a sample cobalt ring, I was able to accurately calibrate my XP Deus 2 detector. The cobalt rang up in the high 50’s on the conductivity scale. Armed with this information I began searching the area where Tim had heard the mysterious twig sound.
Just a few swings into the search a clean, high 50’s-signal begged further investigation. Buried under some leaves and grass, Tim’s precious wedding ring appeared. And the smile on Tim’s face tells the rest of the story.
If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even long ago, chances are it might still be found. Don’t let the story of the ring end. Call today.



Kavita called and asked if I could help her find her jewelry that was lost when her house burned down in the palisades fire. I met her at the property about a week later when the weather permitted. she showed me were there was a group of volunteers from a church group digging and sifting but were unable to locate her jewelry. I asked her a lot of questions about were the jewelry was located in the house before the fire. I was then able to determine were the jewelry should have ended up by observing witch direction the house fell as it burned. The walls had fallen outward in some areas so I had a good Idea were the jewelry in the closet probably fell. I dug for about two hours and found the majority of her silver bangle bracelets that were traditional gifts in her Indian culture. There were more than 10 of them along with a couple of rings and a few pairs of earings. Just before I called it a day I found an ancient silver coin from India. Kavita was very happy to have here jewelry back especially after losing her house. she said she now had some closure.

*** Dennis had lost his gold wedding band of 70 years. He had been doing work on his landscaping in the front of his home in Westminister , CA. Later that evening while at the dinner table he noticed that his 70 year old wedding ring was missing. Both he and his wife were upset about the loss.
After a week of searching inside and outside the house, Dennis believed the most likely place the ring could be was in a very dense 7 ft. high bush next to his garage. Searching visually had limitations. He asked me to search this bush believing it was the only place he had not searched well.
Dennis was so sure the ring was in that bush, said it was the only place he wanted me to search. I was going to bring a battery operated leaf blower to my tools. Also, it sounded like I would be using handheld pinpointer ( probably on an extension stick). The vegetation may be too thick to use normal metal detector.
The bush was very thick and I agreed with Dennis that this could be a place the ring could be hiding. After over an hour of thoroughly search the suspected bush, I asked Dennis where else he had been that day the ring was lost. He pointed to a planter with a small ornamental tree and a few sparse plants. The rest is history, yep, it was a Boom! The ring was actually visible under one of the plants. Yes! the plants he had searched through thoroughly before I came with my tools. There is a chance that the leaf blower freed the ring from the branches or leaves. Another case where it’s hard to know what really happened.
Both Dennis an his wife appreciated the recovery of their ring he has worn 70 years of their marriage.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine Tom Tanner asked for some assistance in finding a lost ring in Nisene Marks State Park. I am very familiar with the location as my experience and love for the rugged mountains in this park was one of the reasons I moved to Santa Cruz now ~25 years ago.
We met the couple Maddie and Jace who unfortunately lost their ring and, hiking in two miles, they led us to each of the places they believed they stopped where they could have possibly dropped their ring. Interestingly, on the way back and feeling somewhat defeated, as we were talking about all the other places it could be, Jace said very convincingly, “I think it’s here in the park.” So of course we kept searching, going back over some of the places we had already searched.
Amazingly not more than 200 yards from the cars, I heard a bunch of excited shouting ahead of me and Jace turned around as I was searching and yelled, “Tom found it!”. Sure enough, after a 4 mile adventure, Tom had found Maddie’s beautiful diamond solitaire ring, buried under no more than 1 inch of leaves and redwood duff, right in one of the spots where they thought it might be.
My first assisted ring find was truly a great adventure and even better reunion, and motivated me to join the Ring Finders myself.

I received a text message from a young lady needing my help to search for her lost family heirloom platinum diamond ring that was passed down by her great-grandmother.
Story goes, she pulled into work, took the ring off and put it in her pocket. She went into the building and then back out of the building. She turned to the right and ran to the back shed on the backside of the building to place a box in there. Then she ran back inside. The running must have caused the ring to work itself up and out of her pocket.
When she came back inside she realized she had lost her ring. Her and her co-workers searched and searched for her ring to no avail! She was so devastated!!
We make arrangements for me to come search for it. I get to the site and start my search. There were lots of signals in the gold/platnium range. Based on that it took me hours to recover it. But finally, not too far from the front door, in the high grass I get a signal, grabbed my pin-pointer, I move the grass back and I finally see the ring!!!
I texted her pictures of the ring and she sent a co-worker/friend to come pick it up!

Hillary called me after losing her house in the Palisades fire to see if I could help her find some family a heirlooms in the rubble. I met her a few days later and began to dig and sift. It didn’t take long to find her sterling silver flatware. Then I moved on to search for her husbands watch. It was given to him by his mother for graduation. I found that about an hour later. Then I began the search for Hillarys jewelry. I soon found a couple of silver necklaces. One of the most sentimental things that I found at the end of my search was several special tooth fairy coins that they had given to their four daughters . what a nice family that I was lucky enough to help.
