Early Monday morning, I got a text from Antimm, who’d lost his necklace while body surfing at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria. The necklace—a gold baptismal cross with a silver pendant—was missing after he came in from the waves. We arranged to meet that afternoon at low tide to start the search in Carpinteria’s coastal waters.
For two hours, I battled the surf near Ventura County’s edge, searching the shallows with my metal detector. The waves were relentless, and despite my efforts, the necklace eluded me. After checking tide charts for Santa Barbara County beaches, I told Antimm I’d return Friday when conditions might improve—he was certain it was lost in the wash.
Friday rolled around, and Santa Claus Beach had transformed. The tide was out, but a strong swell had erased the sandbar I’d relied on Monday. The waves were fierce, soaking me head to toe as I searched deeper waters. After an hour of getting tossed around Carpinteria’s surf, I shifted spots and finally got a solid signal in about three feet of water.
I scooped, checked the hole, and saw it in my basket—until a wave crashed over me, washing it away! As the water pulled back, I spotted a silver disc glinting in the sand. Heart racing, I scooped again, securing it this time. There it was: Antimm’s necklace, a near-miracle recovery from the Ventura-Santa Barbara County shoreline. I couldn’t believe it—to God be the glory!
