Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Set While Boogie Boarding .. Venice Beach, CA. .. Found at Low Tide

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marcos lives in San Francisco. He was in Venice Beach visiting his parents. While he was here they had a big get together with best friends, Lisa and her husband Aleks.

That after noon they spent at the beach where Lisa had the misfortune to lose both her platinum wedding ring and diamond engagement ring. She was riding the waves using a boogie board. Just as she finished riding a wave when the board tipped over and when she came up both rings had slipped off her fingers. Panic and their day had ended in tragically.

That evening Marcos found me through TheRingFinders website. He told me the story and I asked a few questions. There was a low tide near midnight but Venice Beach at that time isn’t the place to be out alone on the beach. We caught the next early morning low tide with Marcos giving great directions of where they were located.

I told Marcos that this could take some time. He was staying very close so I would call him if I find the rings.

Before a half hour passed I got the first good signal Boom! one platinum diamond engagement ring. Three feet away Boom! one platinum wedding band. In less than 18 hours they had already settled about 7 or 8 inches in this fine mushy sand.

Marcos met me on the beach taking photos of the rings to send to Lisa and Aleks. They immediately verified that these were their rings and I was able to talk to Lisa. It was great to hear such excitement as joy on the cellphone while standing on the beach where the rings were found.

Twenty years ago, I would have had to find a public pay phone that worked. To make that phone call.

The internet and all this new technology helped save these sentimental rings from being lost forever. Awesome!

Gold Ring Lost at Will Rodgers Polo Grounds .. Pacific Palisades, CA. .. Found After Two Months

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sabastian called me asking what would be the possibility of me searching for a gold claddagh ring that was lost a month ago. 

He and his friends play polo every Sunday at the Will Rodgers State Park Polo Grounds. His lady friend was tending the horses at a dirt parking lot near where they park the horse trailers. She had removed her Gold  Claddagh Ring ( gifted to her by her mother many years ago ) and clipped it to her key chain. Sometime during the day the ring came off the clip.

Every Sunday they looked through the 50ft. x 100ft. area hoping to see a glimpse of the gold in a thin layer of silty sand. 

Sabastian and I took about 3 weeks to set up a meeting date. He had to get permission from the State Parks supervisor. It’s illegal to dig in a historical site and the have a resident archeologist on site. After meeting with the supervisor and explaining how I was just scratching the surface for a specific gold tone and ID number. 

They gave permission for me to search that dirt parking lot. Then they sent a park ranger in a vehicle to watch over us. It sure made me feel privileged to get permission.

Sabastian marked of the search area and I asked him which side would be best to start. I was ready for a couple hours of grid searching. My first couple low tone targets were pull tabs. Then I got another nice tone and bent over with a screwdriver like probe to scrape the surface. Boom! The small gold ring just popped of the loose sand shining in the sunlight. It really surprised me and Sabastian got very emotional as he was standing right there when it showed up from its hiding place. I was happy that we started at the best possible side of the location or else it would have been a long hot search.

The Park Ranger and Sabastian told me they had really no hope of us finding the ring after all the time that had passed. It’s times like this that remind me why I say, “ I Will Try Anywhere “ 

We had a great visit on the polo field and Sabastian invited me to come see a polo match whenever I wanted to. I love doing this ring finding, especially meeting people like Sabastian. He truly wanted to help his friend find her special ring.

Carlsbad Metal Detector finds lost ring in the sand

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)

 

Theringfinders metal detector service helped find and return a lost diamond ring in the sand.OPEN NOW 24/7 Call 760 889 2751

I received a call from John Hughes to help find a men’s ring at Carlsbad beach.He had already scanned over the 12X12 area multiple times with 2 different metal detectors but was not able to find it due to this type of ring being what’s known as a “Broken signal.” It is a chain linked style ring which can act as a non-conductive metal that disables most type of detectors from picking up the signal.
Fortunately I recently invested in a new high frequency machine that will pick up broken signals such as Gold Chains,gold earrings with an open loop etc.

When I arrived to the scene of the lost ring I met Johnny who had preserved an area in dry sand with beach chairs. I asked a few detective questions mostly about the style of this chain linked ring,then began my search.

After 5-10 minutes with a few small pieces of trash I got a steady low tone on my machine while shaking my sand scoop I had  unearthed Johnny’s hefty Gold diamond ring.He was stoked and relieved to have this precious metal back on his finger. What a great feeling it was especially as the local beach goers were clapping & cheering after it was Returned !

Thank you Johnny for the gratuity and John Hughes for calling me to help others.

Paula, her husband and her daughter Nisa were at Little Corona DelMar Beach which is located in Newport Beach, CA. Nisa put her small very special ring in her shoe while they were playing in the ocean. When they were leaving she carried her belongings to the showers about 50 yards up the walkway ramp. That’s were Nisa remembered to get the ring from the shoe. No Ring in the shoe.

They were in the car on the way home when Nisa’s mother, Paula called me. I told them I could meet them there in 20 minutes. We walked down to the small beach and I set up my detector 30 ft. from the area Paula was pointing out as the most likely place for the loss to happen. I did a few practice swings before walking over the spot. Guess, what ? The ring was right where I set up my practice swings.

A happy family that found TheRingFinders service and came back to the beach to help their little girl find a most cherished little silver ring. Check out that smile.

Lost Wedding Ring in Sand at Bolsa Chica State Beach, CA. .. Found Next Day

Ali’s family was spending a week at Bolsa Chica State Beach RV camp grounds. A vacation that they have been looking forward towards after making reservations over a year ago.

They had only been there for a couple days when Ali was given her husbands’s white gold wedding band to hold onto while he went swimming in the ocean. Ali put the ring into the pocket of her beach chair and the rest of the story is the same as many other ring losses that I’ve had this year. I’m calling this “ The Year of The Beach Chair Ring Losses”

The next day Ali called me asking for help. She felt guilty for not remembering that the ring was in her beach chair and it fell into the sand when she picked up the chair. I told her how often that this happened and that our chances of finding it were good. She showed me the location and after the first three grid passes I had the ring in my scoop. She wasn’t watching, so I walked up to her asking what the ring looked like. As she answered, I held up the ring. 

A look of relief followed by a genuine thank you. She was one happy lady and very grateful to have found this service and now they can continue their vacation on a happier note. I love being able to have the time and experience to help people like Ali.

Lost Ring in Sand at Laguna Beach,CA. .. Found and Returned

Rylan called asking help to find his silver ring that he had lost in the sand at Cresent Bay, Laguna Beach, CA. He had dropped it in the dry sand the night before and was on the beach trying to find it this morning.

Rylan told me what had happened. Then,  I asked him if it was possible for him to stay at the location till I could meet him. I only needed him for a couple minutes to get the general location. He had to be to work at 11:00 am which worked out well because I was only 20 minutes away.

When I got to the beach Rylan was standing at the spot where he thought the loss happened. I sent him on his way to work, telling him I would call him when I found the silver ring. Very important to Rylan as it was a gift from his girlfriend. It didn’t take long to find his ring, but it sometimes can go the other way when people aren’t sure when the ring was lost.

I was able to drop by Rylan’s work place to deliver his ring. It was just a few miles from where I live. You can see the smile on his face in the photo I took when we met before 12:00 pm.

Lost Silver Ring in Garden .. Los Angeles, CA. .. Found and Returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went on a ring call to a monastery in the hills of Los Angeles, CA. I was there to help Dave find a small silver ring that his mother in India have given him. Dave had been walking down a corridor when put his hands through his hair bringing his hands down to his side, he felt his ring slip from his finger. He heard it hit the cement one time possibly going in the lawn or some landscaping with woodchip ground cover.

It was a small area and should have been an easy search. After an hour searching with my small coil on my metal detector in all the obvious areas with no success, I brought out the trusty hand held detector which we call a pinpointer. I went down to my hands and knees to search through the plants, crevices and potted planters. 

It was getting frustrating because it was such a small area. I was running out places to search. Could the ring have rolled much further than we thought? As last resort I double checked the small plants in the garden. Yes, the third time is a charm. The small silver ring was lying right at the base of a small shrub. It may have been in the leaves of the shrub or I could have missed it the other two times with my detectors.

This was a very sentimental ring for Dave and I was happy to be able help him find it.

Lost Wedding Ring While Swimming at Huntington Harbour – Huntington Beach, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

David lost his wedding ring while swimming at Humbolt Beach a small inter bay beach in Huntington Harbour, Huntington Beach, CA. He posted his problem in the Huntington Beach Community Forum where someone suggested he try contacting me. 

After discussing his loss,  David said he could meet me that morning to show me the general location where he felt the ring come off his finger. I just needed him to point me in the right direction then he could leave to do the errands he had planned that day.

When I arrived there was already a guy detecting in the water. Evidently he had read the lost ring story in the Facebook community forum? I waited for him to get to the other end of the 75 yard wide beach. Then I went into four feet of water and dug two bottle caps. The third target was David’s Tungsten Carbide Wedding ring. I walked out of the water to my car, where I called David making arrangements to meet him a couple miles away.

I’m not sure if the other detector guy found what he was looking for?

Lost Gold and Diamond Wedding Ring at Beach .. San Clemente, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Payton and his wife, Madeline were at a local beach in San Clemente, CA. Madeline forgot to leave her rings at home, so she put the three rings in the zippered pocket of her beach chair.

As they were leaving Madeline remembered her rings when they were about 30 feet from where they had been sitting on the sand. She went to get her rings out of the pocket that was partially closed. Only two of the rings were there. The smallest gold ring had somehow fallen out. After not being able to find it in the sand they returned home not far from the beach.

Payton got on the internet and contacted me using TheRingFinders directory. I met him on the road above the beach entrance. When we walked to the beach, a lady walking towards us, ran up to me yelling RingFinder man. She gave me a big hug and told her friends that I had found her wedding ring a few months ago. I know it surprised Payton, he didn’t know me and wasn’t quite sure if my metal detector could find his wife’s small gold ring. 

When we got to the area of the loss there was two other people sitting there. I choose not to ask them to move but asked them if I could swing my detector close to them. Boom! within a few inches of the lady’s feet I got a nice tone from my detector and I dug the small gold ring as Payton watched. 

Another successful recovery and Payton immediately took a photo sent it to Madeline. We had only been on the beach a short time but the walk back to our cars was much more enjoyable than going to the location of the loss. It was a pleasure to help them find a ring that had so much sentimental meaning to both Madeline and Payton.

Lost Unique Silver Wedding Ring in the Sand .. Seal Beach, CA. .. Found and Returned to Owner

Josh called me asking help finding his Silver Wedding Ring. He had lost in the sand at Seal Beach, CA. He wasn’t quite sure of where the ring fell out of his beach chair cupholder. Josh had walked 100 yards across the sand before remembering his ring. When he checked the beach chair the ring was not there.

He found me on TheRingFinders website and called. When I talked to Josh, I only asked two questions, was it in dry sand and could he meet me there in a half hour?

Josh was a little nervous that the ring had fallen out on the long walk across the sand. Lately,  I’ve noticed that the rings seem to fall out of the chair just after they pick up the chair. One more time we were lucky to find the ring within the first three 20 ft. of grid passes. I like finding silver, there is a definite high tone in my earphones which is different from gold and aluminum pull tabs.

I took photos of Josh and his unique David Yurman silver ring. It was another great reunion of a special ring with its owner.

I left my home, met Josh on the beach, found the ring and was back home in less than two hours. ( 15 miles each way) I can’t believe it. I love doing this. Josh was very grateful for how we put this search together with the help of the internet and TheRingFinders website.
