A Pier-side Miracle: Recovering a Lost Engagement Ring at Port Hueneme
Brendan and his family were visiting here in San Diego. On their last night here, they had a bonfire on the beach. While opening a plastic bag, it popped loose suddenly, and Brendan’s wedding ring went flying into the dry sand and disappeared. Not knowing exactly where, or, even which direction it went, it was impossible to find without a metal detector. An online search for help resulted, and I got a call the next morning. As luck would have it, I was only a couple of blocks away presiding over our local detecting club monthly
meeting. Brendan explained the situation and that they were leaving town in the early afternoon, so, time was fairly important in getting his ring back before they headed to the airport. The meeting soon ended and I headed over to conduct the search. We met at the site and Brendan gave me a good idea as to where ground zero was. I started a spiral pattern out from that point. First “good” sounding target ended up being a pull tab. Second good sounding target read the same, and was Brendan’s ring. A relieved Brendan can now head home with his wedding band on his finger. A pleasure to meet you Brendan, and thank you for the reward.

I was sound asleep when my phone began to ring early in the morning. When I answered, it was Kyle on the other end asking if I could help him find his IPhone he had lost at the beach the night before. Well knowing that this beach is cleaned daily by the City, I asked Kyle if he would be able to meet me there as soon as possible to show me where the loss occurred which he agreed to. So I got dressed, got in my truck, and was on my way.
When I got to the beach, Kyle and I found each other. He then went on to explain that he was with friends jumping to the music that they were playing, when everything came out of his pockets including his phone. The jumping by everyone caused his phone to disappear under the sand, and made it impossible to locate. He showed me the area he believed the loss occurred and I began my search. The sand was infested with multiple types of trash metal which slowed down my search considerably, but I kept my grid tight, and made sure to dig every good signal. I searched all of the area he showed me, but with no phone, but remembered him saying he had been standing in another area also, so I began a search over in the new search zone, and after about 4 passes got an overpowering signal in the headphones, dug, and had Kyle’s phone. He was certainly excited to have it back and I was happy to have been able to help.

Kirby sent me a text regarding the loss of her gold heirloom signet ring she believed she lost in her backyard. The ring had belonged to her Grandfather, so it had significant sentimental value for her. We arranged a time when we would both be available for me to come and do the search, and on that day I was on my way.
When I arrived Kirby met me, showed me the backyard, and where she thought she had lost her ring. When I saw her grass I could see how a ring could get lost in it. It was incredibly plush. Each blade of the grass had to be 5 inches in length straight up from the ground like a mini jungle over the whole back yard. I went over the area she pointed out to me only finding a dime that had been there for a while. I then expanded my search out until I completely searched the whole yard, only finding a nickel, and an old cookie cutter. Not willing to be beaten I did a cross grid of the yard, but did not find the ring. We talked a bit more about the day, and what might have happened, and the only thing left was her trash, which she had already gone through, but wisely did not throw out. I went through each item in the bags with my pin pointer until I came upon a crumpled napkin that was surprisingly sounding off. I picked it up, and shook it a bit, and the ring came tumbling out. Even though Kirby had thoroughly searched the trash the ring had evaded her pursuit. She could not believe it when I held up the ring for her, and showed her where it had been. What a wonderful search!

Matthew had gone with his family to the beach for a fun day out, when while playing with his children, and a flick of his wrist, his wedding ring was gone into the soft beach sand. He told me he had searched for about 4 hours before his wife found me on The Ring Finders web site, and gave me a call. Being that that particular beach is highly metal detected, I let her know that I was leaving immediately, so as to have the best possibility of a recovery.
I got to the beach quickly, and found the family. Matthew explained and showed me what had happened. He had been on the slope of sand that goes down to the water from where they had their towels when he flicked his wrist. What made it more difficult for his own search was the fact that movement by him and his children in the area of the loss caused more sand to move down the slope and cover the ring deeper in the sand. I worked my way down the slope with no signal, and then began working back up in a grid fashion when near the bottom of the slope I got a good solid signal, dug, and had Matthew’s ring in the scoop. They were very happy to have it back, as this was specially engraved. I looked and noticed that Matthew’s wife had a silicone ring on, and complimented her for her conscientiousness regarding her jewelry. A very happy ending to the day!

I was relaxing Saturday morning after a couple of unsuccessful searches the previous two days including a wedding band in a sewer line trench and an old septic tank cap on a wooded lot. My wife showed me a story from the local Dunedin Discussions Facebook group where a member named Debbie posted about her daughter losing a silver ring on the Dunedin Causeway beach the previous day. I also received a pm from another member of the group letting me know about the loss. I immediately posted and sent a pm to Debbie informing her of my services. Because Debbie had given a somewhat detailed description of the loss location on her post, I decided to drive immediately to the location to begin a search before other metal detectorists might scan the area. Not long after I began my search, I received a map pin of the precise location as well as a perspective photo of several family members metal detecting the loss area the previous evening. I worked my way to the given location and searched for a couple of hours. I knew I was searching in the right location as it was confirmed by Donald Murphy (“Murph”, pictured below) as he had seen the family searching the previous evening and he was back at this same spot the next day. I was able to dig a dozen quarters and a half dozen dimes but no silver ring. I went home for a break and returned several hours later at low tide. By that time, the receding tide exposed some tire tracks where Murph said the family was searching the day before. After about an hour, my Equinox registered a strong silver signal (29) at 2 to 4 inches and I dug the silver Gucci ring out of the wet sand with my scoop. I showed it to Murph and he was as excited as the owner was going to be. After I contacted Debbie with the good news, I met her daughter Opal and boyfriend James to make the return. Opal said she lost it while throwing a ball and it was a special ring given to her by her brother. Thanks to all for trusting me to look for your precious ring and thank you for the generous reward! God bless you all!

I got a text from Britt whose husband had lost his wedding ring. He believed he lost it while installing sprinkler piping in their yard. I let her know that I would be able to a search for them, but she said she would let me know if they needed my services. That was on a Monday, and on Friday she contacted me again letting me know they would like me to give it a try, so we agreed on a day and time to meet at their house.
When I got there Britt and her husband Chris met me, and Chris showed me the area he believed the ring was possibly lost. I began on one side of the yard hearing a lot of iron, and a few squeaks that were possibly good, but after exploring, no ring. As I continued my search Chris was helping dig each signal, which after not finding the ring each time might have been a bit disheartening. It wasn’t until we got to the end of the pipe that a good signal came through the head phones, and Chris dug. As soon as he pulled the clod out of the spot, I saw his ring, and reached in to get it for him. Both he and Britt were very excited. It was then that I learned they had purchased a detector, and had already done a search themselves which caused a lot of frustration with all the iron in the ground. It was a real pleasure to have been able to help them with this recovery.

I received a call from Armen in the afternoon asking for help in finding a lost wedding ring. His wife had been brushing sand off of her clothes, when her ring flew off of her finger, and disappeared into the soft beach sand. It had just happened, so I let them know I was on my way in order to have the best possibility of a recovery.
When I got to the beach Armen met me, and took me out to the area of the loss. I could see they had searched a good 20 x 20 foot area of the sand, but to no avail. I began my search in one direction to cover the small area they searched earlier, and found a quarter, and a dime, but no ring. Then focused on the larger area beginning to the side of where his wife had been standing, and got that strong signal in my head phones, scooped, and there in the bottom of the scoop was a beautiful gold and diamond ring which I held up for them. They were so happy to see it again, wondering why it was so hard for them to find. Sometimes it takes the right equipment along with the experience in using it to have a successful recovery. They slept well that night I am sure.

I met my customer . he said that he was waving his hand to one of his friends and his ring flew off. he was saying that it flew about 20 feet. but after searching for a while there I asked more questions. I found that it must not have gone that far. so I reexamined the area closer. I was only getting a target that sounded like a penny. but guess what after checking the target out .. it was his ring. he was very happy. and left me this beautiful testimonial.
Testimonial……………………………………………..
Waving to a friend, my wedding band flew off my hand. First time ever in 60 years the ring left my hand. Looked in the grass unsuccessfully .
Sent text to Craig Marten explaining my issue at 10:15 PM. He was at my home ready to search at 10:00 AM the next day.
10:45 AM he found my ring.
Very grateful of his quick response and successful result.
