Metal detector rental finds 2 rings Monterey
Got a call late last night, for 2 rings on Carmel Beach. A fellow had been raking his hand through sand, clowning around with his lady friend. All of the sudden noticed his ring missing. And figured it must have come off in the beach sand that he had just had his hands in. Although he wasn’t 100% certain if it had been gone prior to that, elsewhere on the beach.
They searched in vain for it. And thought they could do an experiment by purposefully dropping her ring in the sand. So that they could have an idea of how it looks when it hits the sand, etc… So as to maybe help them figure out how to find his ring. But ironically, after dropping hers to the sand in their experiment, IT TOO became lost. Now they had two sentimental value rings missing. Ouch !
They spent a good deal of time digging around, raking sand through with their fingers. Then found the “TheRingfinders.com” metal detector rental site . They had done a good job of putting a GPS pin on the location. So I was able to get there middle of night, hike out in the dark to their exact pin. Within 10 minutes had both rings. They can now 
return to the east coast with their rings.
Thanks for the generous tip. Glad to help. Very nice couple.
Night before last I got a call from Lacey asking if I could come find her sister Nichole’s lost James Avery charm bracelet in the sand at the beach. She had placed it in her chair cup holder, but apparently forgot and dumped it out when picking it up to put it away. It was very sentimental to her, as she told me she had been adding charms to it for several years. It was rather late and I was 45 minutes away so I promised I would come early the next morning. I arrived and was relieved to see that they were renting a vacation house directly on a small private beach. They had marked off a square where they thought it might be so I set off carefully gridding the area with my Equinox 800. Within minutes, I got a signal that was much deeper than I expected a fresh drop to be and definitely not as loud as I would have thought. First scoop – nothing. Second scoop – nothing. Third scoop – and there was her shiny silver bracelet sparkling in the dry sand. Nichole happily placed it back on her wrist and gave me a hug. I (as always !) turned down her offered reward and asked only for a picture of her smiling – the best reward ever !
Late Saturday afternoon I got an urgent call from Tara’s husband stating his wife just lost her engagement ring while swimming in the water. Given the remnants of wind and waves produced by the passing tropical storm (Alex), a safe and effective search wasn’t immediately possible. Well, after about 3 hours of searching the following afternoon, the desired target was found, safely in the scoop…not a “silver ring” but an absolutely gorgeous 14k white gold diamond engagement ring, actually two rings combined into one. The story continues, the ring being on the finger it belongs. No coincidences in Gods kingdom, just appointments. Much to be thankful for 🙏🏻🎉👍🏻 Remember, it’s only lost until you call…Mark!!!
it was a beautiful day at Pensacola Beach but the Shorebreak was really pounding. Chris was on the edge of the water putting on his fins and mask to do some diving. The Shorebreak hit him, he tumbled a bit and lost his ring. His wife called me to see if I could help and I said I would try. They showed me about where the ring was lost and I was able to find it in an hour hour and a half. We got to talking, he was from Pensacola and so am I. It turned out that we’re distant cousins! They departed all smiles. I was glad I could help and now have another family link. I guess it’s truly a small world!
