LOST GOLD WEDDING RING IN BEVERLY HILLS FOUND & RETURNED.
I got a call a few days ago from Tom who said he lost his wedding band while he was cleaning out some popcorn from his car that his young kids had spilled. I drove over there and got nervous when I saw over 15 feet of bushes next to the driveway. I searched for a while with my traditional metal detector with no luck. I then started to search by using the Garret Carrot, a hand held detector. I put my arm into the bushes many times till I heard a loud signal, reached down and pulled up a clump of dirt and grass and there was Tom’s ring. He was happy to have his ring back and I was satisfied with another successful search.
Rhonda and her friends were having a Girls Getaway week at Emerald Isle, NC. The young women were soaking their toes along the coastline and moving their chairs back with the incoming tides. Trying to be safe, the rings were placed in a zipper pouch before heading into the water. It wasn’t long after that the pouch had a hole in the bottom and the rings slipped away into the surf. Ashlee, a friend in the group, found my metal detecting service and gave me a call. After I heard the description, and knew the tide was now receding, I decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, the beach had a steep slope leading down into some powerful waves. I did my best to cover the area and was tossed off balance more than once. After not finding the rings, I told the party I will return about 1 hour before low tide and try again. Trying once again at this time period was very beneficial. With some directional help from the girls, I walked straight down towards the waterline and found both rings in the wet sand and within 5 minutes of each other! I know more than one of them thought the rings were gone forever!
