South Mission Beach ring recovery

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

Neiva decided to play some volleyball and soon discovered that her ring was hurting her finger, so, she removed it. After the game she tried to put the ring back on, but, found her finger had swelled a bit and wouldn’t allow that. The ring was then thought to have been placed in her bag, but, apparently it was left on the blanket. Later when getting ready to leave, Neiva picked up the blanket and gave it a shake to remove the sand. When she searched for her ring, it wasn’t in the bag, and obviously now, wasn’t on the blanket either. She and her friends searched with their fingers sifting through the sand, but, could find the ring. Neiva Googled for help, and my name came up. Being a sunny Sunday afternoon during the summer, I knew the beach traffic and parking was going to be a nightmare, but, headed into the fray anyway. Sure enough, traffic was backed up, and once I got to the beach, dozens of cars were circling the lots waiting for an opening. I finally found a spot and headed to the volleyball court to meet Neiva. She showed me the area where she had her blanket and bag, and I began my search. First target read a nice solid 10 on my Equinox, but, turned out to be part of a pull tab. Next signal was a solid 6 and was her ring. A happy Neiva could now join me in the traffic and head home. A pleasure meeting you and thank you for the reward.

Lost Ring in Sand at Venice Beach, CA. Found Two Days Later

It’s summer and if you lose anything on the beach or a public place call ASAP.. 949-500-2136 **

Maylee called asking for help to find a silver Pandora ring, possibly lost in the sand two days before. She and her friends were on the beach most of the day. They did take a long walk on the Venice Boardwalk. After returning to her hotel room 40 miles away from Venice Beach, she realized her ring was missing.

It was already two days since the loss and the only reason she believed the ring might be at the beach was after reviewing photos during the day. The ring didn’t show on the last photos before leaving the beach.

I almost told her that too much time had passed and there were too many other locations that he could have lost it. I looked at the clock and knew the traffic would not be too congested. I agreed to give it a try, even though she could not meet at the location.

Trying to keep a positive attitude,  I made it to the beach parking lot in less than an hour. It had just turned dark outside but that never is a problem. It was only a short walk to the lifeguard tower where she had been that Saturday. 

Started a 30ft. grid line and on the third pass I got a nice high tone on my equinox metal detector. ”YES” a nice silver ring with a black center stone surrounded by cz’s.

Sent a photo to Maylee. We decided it would be easier to mail it to her home in New York. She only had two days left of her vacation before returning to her home.

I learned again that you can’t really tell for sure if the item is there until you swing the coil over the area. Then, it’s still a game if inches.

After thinking about this whole ordeal, you might agree that the service worked out well for Maylee. She called a RingFinder from her hotel room 40 miles away from the beach where she thought she may have lost her ring. An hour and a half later I sent her a photo of her ring. She enjoyed the last two days of her vacation without having to take time and can fare to pick it up. When she retuned home, her ring showed up in the mail. Almost as easy as ordering something using Amazon prime. 

I love doing what I do!!

Lost ring found at Mission Bay

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

Lindsey was guilty of the most common cause of lost rings at the beach. She took her rose gold ring off to apply lotion, set the ring in her lab, and then forgot about it until sometime after she had stood up. After realizing what had happened, she and others looked through the sand hoping to recover it. After that failed to locate the ring, she called a local detector rental shop and tried her hand at finding it that way. After 3 hours and nothing but scrap metal, she returned the detector and was advised by them to contact TheRingFinders.com. She initially got a hold of  Curtis Cox in Carlsbad. He was out of town and referred her to me. My wife and I headed to the site and met Lindsey who explained the situation and showed us the search area, which was mainly a reasonably small sized section of dry sand overlooking Mission Bay. Lindsey had to leave for a while and left me to do my best. After covering the dry sand section in one direction parallel to the water and coming up empty, I started at the beginning again at 90 degrees from the first. My first pass went closer to the water than previous passes and over some wet sand, but, it was on the return of that pass that I got the sound I wanted still in the wet sand. After some cheers from other folks on the beach who knew about the lost ring, I texted Lindsey with the good news. I went and rinsed the ring of sand and let everyone oooh and aaah over it while waiting for Lindsey to return. Needless to say, Lindsey was very happy to get this family heirloom back on her finger. A pleasure to met you Lindsey and thank you for the reward.

Wedding Ring Set Tossed in Anger… Adelanto, CA. … Found Four Days Later

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

I’ve learned that this happens more often than most people realize. Monique had thrown her diamond wedding set in a passion filled moment. It was tossed in in the front yard that is landscaped with large white /gray gravel. Adelanto is located in the high desert of Southern California where they landscape with gravel to conserve water. I drove 90 miles from my base in Newport Beach the day we discussed the details of the loss.

Monique purchased a used metal detector and they spent four days trying to find the white gold wedding ring set. The rings were soldered together which makes a better target to find with a metal detector. They may have been able to find the rings if they had experience using a metal detector. All metal detectors are not equal and it does take time to learn how to use one. I’m sure the four days of searching for the ring set were frustrating.

Monigue’s brother was waiting for me when arrived to show me the location. I could see many places where they had moved gravel trying to retrieve metallic signals. I only received two signals that could have been gold. The white gold ring set blended into the white/ gray gravel and were almost invisible when I retrieved them. After waiting for Monique to return from doing her errands, I was able to personally give her precious rings.

I want to thank Monigue for being honest. Also, for allowing me to write the real story. I’ve been on many calls where the person was embarrassed to tell me how they lost their rings. There have also been on calls where they pretended to throw the ring. Then there have been calls where the ring was picked up by the other person involved in the argument and held in retaliation. We can’t find them all. We do have the best advantage to find metallic keepsakes because we have the best metal detectors, know how to use them and experience with all types of searches.

The first day of Tiffany’s vacation started off by losing her Iphone in the sand at Santa Monica Beach. Tiffany is from Louisiana and was visiting her mother in Southern California. This is not a good start to a vacation. 

Tiffany’s mother was able to find TheRingFinders website, using her cellphone. She called me and I asked her if they could stay at the location till I got there. Our best chance to find a cellphone is the first few hours. They are often picked up by other people or the beach cleaning machines get them the next morning.

We met on the beach just before sunset. Tiffany and her mother showed me an area approximately 50’x 50’ square. After searching that location with no success, I found the phone 20 ft. outside the original search area. 

Tiffany was truly grateful to have her phone. I was also surprised when her young son told me, thank you for finding my mother’s phone.

Julie called me an hour after losing her ring at Long Beach, CA. I only asked her if the ring was lost in the dry sand or wet sand and to text me the nearest address. 

When we met on the beach she was with John at an unoccupied lifeguard tower. She told me that they had climbed up the steps on the tower to the platform. When she got to the top, she brushed some sand off her leg and the ring flew off her finger. Both Julie and John heard the ring hit the deck but could not determine the direction it went.

I was a little overconfident that it would be a quick recovery. My first obstacle was many metal trash targets. My first grid of the small area was a rapid scan listening for a low gold tone. Next grid of scan was slow digging and removing every metal target. ”No Ring”. I knew that it was possible for the ring to be hiding close to the metal legs of the lifeguard tower but I was holding off on searching near the metal legs till later. 

Before getting on my hands and knees to use my handheld pinpointer. I used my sand scoop to move sand away from the metal legs where my detector had a chance to find a ring without being masked by the metal support legs. 

After one hour, the third grid of the area was successful. The ring was found within 18” of the metal tower supports. I’m sure that I moved it out far enough for the detector to separate it from the larger metal. Although it is possible that I may have just missed it the first times, the main thing is the ring was recovered. It always rewarding to see how happy John and Julie were to have the ring back. It was very sentimental to both of them.

Jessica called me from Huntington Beach after she lost her husband’s platinum wedding ring in the sand. Her husband, John had given Jessica his wedding band to hold while he was going for a swim in the ocean. 

They agreed to wait for me on the beach which was going to help make it a successful search. When I arrived Jessica said, I’m the person who lost the ring. I reassured her that this seems to happen often lately.

She didn’t know exactly when or where the ring slipped off her finger, but she did know that she hadn’t left the 25’x 25’ area. Perfect, I began a grid search. There were not very many trash metal signals to bother with so it was not long until the ring was in my sand scoop.

It was a happy moment for both of them. After hours of trying to find the ring. Success came when Jennifer decided to ask for help by calling a member of TheRingFinders metal detector service.

Daniel and his wife are from Peru enjoying a visit to Venice Beach, CA. He lost his ring in the dry sand when he brushed some sand off his pants. Someone on the beach suggested that he contact TheRingFinders.com. He didn’t have a working cell phone, but the person helped him by letting Daniel use her phone.

When Daniel contacted me, I was just 5 miles away. I made sure I had his correct location because we wouldn’t have cell phone communication. It sounded like it could be an easy search, but if I couldn’t find him it would be terrible. Many people are not good at giving directions. 

Everything worked out perfect. I found a parking space very close to his location. He saw me walking across the beach and met me with hands waving in the air. 

I set up my detector while asking him what type of metal was the ring made of and what exactly happened when he list the ring. Basically, I could see the search area because he had left many finger drag marks in the sand.

It was a quick recovery with Daniel and his wife very happy to have the very special sentimental ring back where it belongs. They had no idea that this service exists. To me, it is special because I know losing a wedding ring while vacationing would certainly upset the vacation and definitely not be a good memory
