*** I was asked to help Coner to find his lost gold family crest ring in the sand at a Santa Monica Beach. He is an avid rugby player and has weekly beach rugby tournaments near home.
I met him on the beach in Santa Monica. He showed me an area that the ring could be. Coner said he normally puts his watch and ring in his shoe that are not worn while playing. After the game he only had the watch in the shoe. He believed it was possible that he didn’t remove his ring before playing the game. I searched the whole area and could not find the ring.
A week later Coner called, telling me that he was reviewing videos of a practice he did a few days before the tournament. The video showed the ring on his finger. It actually showed the ring missing after he had passed the rugby ball. The video actually showed a black spot in the air that could be the ring.
I agreed to meet Coner at Venice beach, a mile from the original location. He sent me the video clip which made me feel we had a chance to find his ring. At least we could grid search the area to prove it wasn’t there.
This turned out to be worth the two trips across town. The Gold Ring was still in the sand after lost for more than a week. This search was much shorter than the first search because the video had a lifeguard tower 30 or 40 ft. from where the ring came off. Landmarks and videos do help to make searches successful.

Many Searches are unique. It’s important to ask the right questions when someone asks for help. Even though they are positive what and where the loss happened, they may not put you in the location of the loss.
First unsuccessful search was a mile from where the ring was eventually found a week later after Coner’s friend had reviewed the rugby practice video and he called me to get my opinion.
