When Charles called, he told me he had lost his wedding ring while playing volleyball at the beach the day before. He was at work, and would be unable to meet me at the spot, so I asked if he would send me a map of the area showing where to search, and I would go immediately to try and insure a successful recovery. He was able to send everything, so I was on my way.

I got there, and noticed that the beach cleaning machines had gone over one side of one of the two courts in the area, which caused a bit of worry. I began searching going over the untouched side of the court, then began on the side where the machine went through. There was about 6-7 feet of sand that was not cleaned, and in that narrow bit of sand I found Charles’ ring. I sent him a picture, and let him know that I would drive it to him, because his business was close. He was very happy to have it back again.

Lost cross on the beach, Atlantic City NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Tomas about a cross he lost. He explained it was a huge sentimental item, and it was irreplaceable. We agreed I would head there early the next morning. He gave me all the information, including the marked location on the phone GPS. With  that I figured it would be a simple recovery. Upon arrival i marked the location, and got to work. After no luck, I examined pics he sent with fixed objects on shore. I remarked the spot 35′ away, and after about 10 min. the cross was in my scoop.

I received a call from Mary whose friend had lost a piece of jewelry while participating in a beach volley ball tournament. While going for the ball he hooked the chain holding the pendant, and it disappeared in the sand. I told her I would leave right away.

When I got there people were everywhere, and games going on in every court. It seemed an impossible task to do a search, but I was able to find Mary. She told me that it was believed to be lost on the perimeter of the court, so while the game was in play I ducked in and out of the court to detect. Finally the game ended, and I had a few minutes before the next one began to search some more. Then under the perimeter line I got a signal, dug with my scoop, but nothing came up. I was still getting a good signal, but nothing. Then I noticed something fall from my scoop on the next dig, and reached down to retrieve it. It was the pendant. Mary was happy, and her friend who had stared his new game gave me a quick handshake.

Ring lost in San Diego Bay found

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

Scott was kayaking back in August, and while paddling close to shore, his dog decided to jump out of his kayak and into the water. In the process of getting his dog back inside, Scott’s wedding ring came off and into the drink. He tried to find it, but, with a mucky bottom and poor visibility, we know how that ended. He and his wife Caitlin found me online and asked for help. We met at the site during a minus low tide at 11:30pm. Even though it was a small area to search, there was tons of metal junk and some deep silt/mud at that spot in the bay. Try as I might, I couldn’t come up with it after an extensive search. They thanked me for trying and I told them that I would keep it on my list and would try again whenever I was in the area. My next opportunity came about a month later at another minus low tide at night. Again, I found all sorts of junk, but, no ring. I was thinking it might be in deeper water, but, in walking out deeper, you would sink up to your knees in mud. Not going to be possible to search out there. Fast forward to November and another opportunity to hit the area during a daytime low tide. Went back over the same area and found tons more junk targets, but, after a half hour or so, success!, Scott’s wedding ring came up from a foot deep and into my scoop. A text later to an incredulous Scott and Caitlin where I found that they would be visiting again in town around Christmas. They asked me to hold on to it until then which I gladly agreed to. They came by the day after Christmas and picked up the ring. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

Gold Bracelet recovered in Summerland CA.

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

 

I got a call the week before Christmas to see if I could locate a very expensive gold bracelet that had been lost during a boutique gathering at a popular shop in Summerland. The bracelet was lost during the evening and wasn’t inventoried until the next day. Unfortunately, the grounds it was lost on are covered in loose gravel that is raked every day before the business opening. To further compound the problem, the greater Santa Barbara area had experienced 3 days of pounding rain which had caused flooding throughout the area and had turned the gravel area into a muddy gravel area.

Since this was a business with hundreds of items for sale I would rely more on my pinpointer and I began the process of moving on my hands and knees slowly dragging the pinpointer in the muddy gravel. With no discrimination, I was finding every bit of metal in the ground and gravel but I finally got a strong signal and dug down into the gravel and out of the mud came this beautiful gold bracelet with diamonds. Mission accomplished!

I was able to make the return to the store owner who then contacted the vendor to tell her of the good news that the gold bracelet was found and would be returned. If you happen to loose a ring, bracelet or other piece of jewelry do what they did and contact me, Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can get your keepsake back where it belongs.

Ring lost in the lagoon, Little Egg Harbor NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

I was at work when I received a call from George inquiring about possibly recovering his family heirloom ring from his lagoon. We went over the details of when and how the ring was lost, and knowing the area quite well, decided it would be best if I swung by prior to committing to do the recovery. A few days later I met George at his house and after going over exactly what he did when the ring flew off into the lagoon, we decided with the 5′ tide swing this had to be done at low tide. The following week worked perfect with our schedules. My first attempt didn’t work out so well, it was blazing hot, the greenhead flies were eating us alive, and the mud on the bottom was black and bottomless. After about 2 hours I threw in the towel but assured him I would be returning for another attempt. I believe at that point George had given up hope of ever seeing his ring again. Over the next week or so our schedules didn’t work with the tide, so he agreed for me to swing by when conditions were right, whether he was home or not. WELL, after some adjustments to my recovery approach, and taking my assistant wife LEE, and good luck charm, the ring was in my scoop within 15 min. I knew this would mean the world to him, so I decided to do a surprise return, and set the whole thing up with his wife and son. I arrived just as they were getting back from fishing, put the ring in my scoop, and headed down the driveway where we met. We all talked a bit, I asked how they did fishing, then told him I did really well, and put my scoop out. He was kinda puzzled, and I said look in the bottom, and when he did, he could not believe his eyes. Then we let him in on the whole plan. I have the video of the return, just need to edit it, stay tuned. That moment right there is what makes doing recoveries so rewarding.

Eric called having lost his wedding ring the day before, hoping I would be able to find it for him. When he told me the beach he had lost it at, I told him that this was one of the cleanest beaches in the Southern California area because the county cleans the beach daily with very good machines. I could tell he needed closure, and we agreed to meet that day.

When I got there Eric met me and we walked out to the area he believed he lost the ring. As we walked out the sand was smooth as could be from the machines going over the sand that morning which wasn’t a good sign. We got to the spot which was near the slope to the water, and there was a strip of about 1 to 2 feet of sand that was untouched by the machine. I began my search in the area he showed me which was smooth, but worked the untouched area as well. Low and behold, in that small section of untouched sand I found Eric’s ring. I be honest, it surprised the both of us. What a happy reunion.

Sandy contacted me about a lost ring. Her friend was visiting from overseas, and while in the yard, he lost his ring in the thick grass. He had gotten the ring when he visited North Africa, so it had special meaning to him. I arranged with Sandy for a time to come and do the search.

When I got to the house, Sandy came out, and took me to the back yard. She explained what happened to make the ring come off, and gave me a general area of where to search. It was a nice area with no trash metal in the grass, so I figured the when I received a signal, I would have found the ring. I went about 20 feet, pass after pass with silence, and then the detector sounded off. I pulled out the pin pointer, and found the ring quickly. I walked over and showed Sandy, and she said that her friend would be very happy to have it back. Another success story!

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.

Lost necklace in the lagoon, Lavallette NJ, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

I received a call from AnnMarie about some items that were accidentally dumped into her lagoon. She had seen one of my stories about a water recovery, and figured it was worth giving me a call. She explained what had happened. Over 2 months prior her daughter was at the beach, and had placed her jewelry in her beach bag for safe keeping while she went into the water. At the end of the day, she placed her beach items in the back yard by the deck, and went inside the house. AnnMarie figured she would help and accidentally dumped her necklaces into the lagoon while dumping the sand out of the beach bag. At that point she figured they were gone, until she saw my post detailing a very similar recovery. I knew they were right up against the bulkhead after she explained in detail exactly what she had done. We basically decided to do the recovery but didn’t decide when, as I am in her area quite often. Ann sent me the address an told me it would be fine to go, even though they would not be home. I had some time a few days later, and swung by to look. Conditions were perfect, and about 35 min into the search I had both necklaces. She had no idea that I had gone and I decided to snap a few pics and shoot them over to her. AnnMarie was shocked to say the least, we made arrangements to mail them back to her, and in just a few days they were back for safe keeping. Thank you again, so glad I was able to help.
