Antique Earring Lost and Found on Santa Cruz Beach

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)
Contact:

Last week I searched but was unfortunately unable to help a couple find their lost engagement ring at Santa Cruz Main Beach, but the very next day a bystander who saw me looking for the ring and actually spoke with me during the search lost her beautiful antique silver earring on Cowell’s Beach.  The earring was part of a set including a necklace and had sentimental value as well.  We talked through the details and due to the tides and tourist traffic agreed to meet on a Friday at 6:00 am on the beach where she suspected her earring was lost.

When we met she described the location that she sat in with her family and another location where she walked from, suspecting that the highest probability location was where she walked from and next where she sat on the beach next.  We went to the highest probability location and within about 10 minutes I had a lone signal in the range that I suspected.  I dug and sure enough found her earring only about 5 feet from where she suspected it was lost.

It’s great to have enough community recognition of the jewelry finding process that we can help people who are informed about how a search is done and what is needed to assist quickly and effectively.

Lost Stud Diamond Earring Found Without a Metal Detector .. Irvine, CA.

Sometimes metal detectors can’t find small metal jewelry.. We can always try using a visual search.. This searched required setting the detector a side and thoroughly doing a visual search.. Call if you need help … Stan the Metal Detector Man .. 949-500-2136


… Chris had put his diamond stud earring in his pocket while he was watching a soccer game at a park in Irvine, CA.. As he was getting into his car he realized his stud earring was not in his pocket. It must have been pulled out while removing his celphone to take pictures.

He called me to help and we met the next morning. He brought the matching earring for me to check with my detector. This sample earring did not have a backing and I was unable to get a signal with my best small item metal detector. Two other negative problems were not looking good for a successful recovery.

The grass had already been mowed and he showed me a large area where he had been the of the loss. Chris wanted to call off the search. I suggested that we give it a 30 minute try as we were already at the location.

After a few minutes under almost impossible conditions we found his super small diamond stud earring visually. I know from past searches that these recoveries are not always found using a metal detector. We were already at the location, why not give it a try. That’s how we can make a miracle happen.
