I got a call Wednesday afternoon from Valerie who was was vacationing in the Los Angles area from Taos New Mexico. Her family was spending the day at Zuma Beach when her husband Steve accidentally dropped his platinum wedding ring. He had taken it off to put sunscreen on his face and he placed it in his lap while he was sitting for safe keeping. As it often happens, Steve forgot about his ring and went about enjoying the water and the sun. When he realized what had happened they all kind of panicked and began frantically sifting through the sand. After no luck Valerie turned to the internet and found Dave The RingFinder and gave me a call.
They shared that I was coming to the folks nearby who were helping in the search and they said they knew of me from a viral Instagram video from last year where I found a local rap artists gold grill in the ocean. They felt confident that the ring would be coming back to Taos with them. I got there and got the story and began to grid out the area and on my first pass got the sound and ID I was looking for on my Minelab Manticore and scooped up Steve’s ring! Another win for Dave The RingFinder at Zuma Beach in Malibu!
