Wedding Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Found and Returned.

Contact:

I had been at the market this Saturday afternoon, and just pulled up in front of the house about 1:00 PM, when I received a call from Mike who had lost his ring in the sand earlier in the day. He is on vacation from Michigan, and did not want to leave his token of love behind in California. I told him I would be there in 1/2 an hour, and got ready to go.

I met Mike at the location, and he took me out to the spot of the loss. We went over what he believed had happened to cause the loss, and I agreed with him that the ring should be in the immediate area. I set up and began the search, and got a couple of bottle caps, a pull tab and an old battery. After going over the area, I began a cross grid knowing that sometimes a ring can be on edge or turned in such a way as to not be able to find it in one direction, but able to find it if searched for in a perpendicular direction. During the third pass on the cross grid I got a good strong shallow signal, and reached down and plucked Mike’s ring from the sand. I asked Mike about his ring, type of metal, etc., and then opened my hand to show him what I had found. Needless to say, he was very happy, it was now about 2:00 PM. It took a little more than an hour from first call to recovery for me to bring a great big smile back on Mike’s face, and that what it is all about.

Mike sent this nice complement:

Hey Steve,

I hope all is well!  I wanted to thank you again for locating my wedding band this weekend.  I’ve included a testimonial below;  please let me know if I can make any changes!
I’m so thankful for the quick and expert help Steve was able to give me.  I was visiting my brother and a group of his friends for the weekend, and we had decided to visit the beach to enjoy the weather. I had absentmindedly placed my wedding band in the cup holder of my beach chair earlier in the day as I was playing volleyball and swimming.  As the sun moved, our group decided to pick up stakes and move to a different part of the beach.  It wasn’t until after we set up our new spot that I realized my wedding band was missing.  I ran back to the area where our group had previously been and searched frantically for 20 minutes.  Realizing I was probably in for a long day (or that my ring was gone for good), I found Steve online and gave him a call.
Steve’s response time was incredible.  I expected to wait for hours at the beach, but in 30 minutes I saw Steve with his equipment walking down the strand.  He asked me a few basic questions about where I thought the ring was, set up a search grid, and located it in about 15 minutes.  I was awestruck.
You can tell that Steve is a passionate craftsmen, and I’m sure this is what made finding the ring so simple for him.  As we wrapped up, I got a chance to pick his brain about how and why he does what he does.  You can sense that he has a deep understanding of his equipment and the right techniques for the job. More than that, though, Steve seems to have a mission.  You can tell that he gets a lot of joy from finding items that are priceless to those that hold them dear.
Don’t lose your wedding band.  If that happens though, call this man.  He will find what you lost, and put a smile on your face too.
– Mike Spiegel

Wedding Ring Lost at Park in Playa Del Rey…Found and Shipped Back to Utah

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Last Friday night I just happened to be looking at Craigslist when I noticed a post that was talking about a wedding ring lost not too far from where I live. The post said that the gentleman was leaving on a plane to go home, and could not go back and search for the ring, I also noticed that it had been recently posted, so I decided to get in touch with him to let him know I would try to help. I will let Nate’s testimonial about the loss and recovery tell the rest of the story.

Nate’s story:

I was skeptical that anyone could find my ring, but Steve is amazing and really came through for me!

So, on the last day of our recent vacation, while on a shuttle to LAX to fly back home, I realized my wedding ring was no longer on my finger. I was devastated and figured the ring I’d worn 18 years was gone forever. I wasn’t even sure where it had fallen off. I contacted the theme park and car rental agency without any luck. The next night, in a desperate “what do I have to lose” attempt, I searched the internet for help. I hesitantly placed a Craiglist ad in the “lost and found” section with a Google maps screen shot and address of the beach area we went to before flying back home. I offered a reward as incentive so if someone found it they might consider returning it to me instead pawning it. I was texted right away by a guy named “Steve” who was a member of “TheRingFinders.com” I figured he was probably a scammer. He called and left me a voicemail too – so I verified the website, and his phone number area code, which actually was from California. I called him back (Friday at 9:00pm) and I provided him some more details about where I thought I may have lost my ring near the beach. He was nice and sounded legit on the phone, and didn’t ask for any money from me. Steve went out right away, and within an hour (Friday at 9:52pm), he had recovered my ring and texted me a picture that looked like my ring. I was shocked and beyond happy! Ang and I couldn’t believe it – and so I asked him to provide a clearer picture of the front of the ring (the first was taken with a flash in the dark area where he found it). He sent a clear picture when he got home and it was definitely my ring! We arranged shipment, and a few days later, it is back on my finger as I type this message! I’m so grateful for Steve’s help. He is the real deal! So, if you ever lose a ring (or keys, or phone, etc) and need help – even from out of state – theringfinders.com might be a good place to turn for help (rather than hoping some honest person might see your ad on Craigslist like I did – I got lucky!)….. and if you lose something at the beach near LAX, call up my new found friend Steve – he is amazing!

Wedding Ring Lost at Venice Beach, CA…Recovery Maybe Providential?

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Kyla today asking if I could help her find a wedding ring. I told her that I would be glad to help her. I asked where she was, and she told me Venice Beach. I was out metal detecting close by, and told her I could be there in just minutes.

I met Kyla and her husband Andrew when I got there a very short time after the call, they showed me where the ring had been lost. It was her husbands ring that had been lost in the sand,  I looked in the area, and there was a lady with a toy metal detector searching the sand trying to help them, and I could see that she had looked in the area of the loss because the sand was completely smoothed out. It took all but about 3 minutes to find what I could tell had been searched for, for quite a while from the amount of smoothed out sand. I use the best equipment available to help the people I search for, and it does make a difference.

After handing Andrew his ring, and experiencing their joy, I asked them how long they had been married, and they told me 2 weeks. They were on their honeymoon from New Zealand, and they were due at the airport in 1 1/2 hours. I got to thinking, I was right where they needed me to be so they did not have to leave their token of love behind to go home, providence, maybe? I just so enjoy this service!

Andrew explains what the loss and recovery meant to him:

Thanks for your help at Venice re the lost wedding ring in the sand at the outdoor Gym.

” While on my Honeymoon in Santa Monica I lost my wedding ring at Venice Beach. A young lady saw me and my wife Kyla searching in the sand and advised there are “guys with metal detectors” walking the beach who could find it?

Immediately we jumped on google and did a search. We called Steve and explained the situation. He was with us in about 10 mins and ready to get his hunt on!

It took him about 2-5 mins and he found the ring! Without Steve we would have gone back to New Zealand with no ring and my wife and I would have been devastated. I cant thank him enough!

Having the ring found was umm lost for words ” a miracle!!” I don’t know what I would have done if Steve never crossed our path.

Thanks so much!”

Regards, Andrew

Wedding Ring Lost at Manhattan Beach, CA…Recovered and Joyously Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Last night about 8:15 PM Wes called to ask if I would be able to help him find his wedding ring he believed he lost while he was at the beach playing volleyball earlier in the evening. I think he was a bit surprised when I said I would meet him at the spot for a search in about 1/2 an hour. I wanted to search the area immediately, because there are too many variables at work that make the finding of a lost ring or other jewelry harder to find at the beach or other public location like a park as well. Wes said he would meet me there, and I was on my way.

When I got there, I met Wes, and he guided me to the volleyball court. We talked about the loss, and what he thought he might have done to cause the ring to come off. Well, Wes did not realize when the ring had come off because he was so involved in the game, and it could have been anywhere on the court. I resolved to grid the court completely in order to insure nothing was missed. Wes followed my search with a flashlight I had given to him to use. I made one pass, and got a bottle cap. Two more passes, then a loud screaming in my head phones (even Wes could hear it). I dug, and in my scoop was his ring, and I said to him that I thought I had what he was looking for. Needless to say was was very happy to see his ring. He told me he had been married for 10 years, and this was the ring his wife had given him on that day.

What a great way to spend an evening, to be able to create such a smile as this, to bring the joy back to this family, and to know that they all slept well last night; a night of good feelings.

A report from Wes, and what the recovery meant to him:

I’m incredibly grateful for Steve’s help last night. I figured I’d leave a voicemail and hear back from him the next business day, being that it was 8:30 at night, but he picked up my call and said he’d meet me at the volleyball court in 30 minutes. Seriously? And the search process was equally impressive – it took him all of about 10 minutes to find my wedding ring, which could’ve been just about anywhere on/off the court. Steve, thank you for putting a huge smile on my (and my wife’s) face. You’re clearly a passionate and talented guy, and I hope many others will read this post, give you a call, and experience the same excitement and relief that I did last night. Thank you again, Steve. God bless!

Wedding Ring Lost In Manhattan Beach, CA…Found and Returned with Joy.

I got a text from Michael this afternoon regarding the loss of his wedding ring. He had been on the beach, and shook the hood of his sweatshirt when the ring flew off of his finger into the sand and disappeared. It wasn’t long after that we received a long anticipated rain shower that made looking for his ring a miserable chore. They were able to find me on the internet, and I agreed to meet them right away. They had been on the way to drop someone off at the airport, but chose to come back for the search.

I met Michael at the spot of the loss, and he showed me the area. I could see where he and the friends had been searching the area by dragging their fingers through the sand in a very meticulous grid search, but to no avail. I asked my numerous questions, and decided to start my search right in the area where he had been sitting. Within about 10 feet I received a good solid hit, and began to dig. The ring was deeper than I expected, and must have been driven down by the frantic searching prior to my arrival.

Michael saw the ring when it was uncovered, and with joy and extreme relief reached down and retrieved the prize. It was then I found out that he and his wife had only been married for 2 weeks, and had been on their honeymoon in the USA from Germany. By the joy expressed on Michael’s face, and the release of the pressure of discouragement that he had experienced, I knew this was a “Home run” day today.  It really feels great to bring the joy back in people’s lives!

Awesome Platinum Solitaire Engagement Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Recovered and Joyously Returned.

Yesterday, not long after finding the ring for Keith, I received a call from DJ who said his wife had lost her engagement ring at the beach just two hours earlier. I asked if they were still there, he said they were not, but some of his wife’s friends were still at the spot. I then asked if they could meet me there, and he said his wife would go and make sure she could show me where the loss occurred.

I was able to get there in about an hour, and walked out to meet Katie, DJ’s wife. She showed me to the area where the ring was lost, and as we got closer, I could see lines in the sand over a rather large area where they had performed a continuous grid search. I could tell they had been very meticulous in their search, but to no avail. I began to question her about the loss, and as she explained everything to me, I could tell that they had searched the wrong area. I began my search in the spot that I figured the loss occurred from my inquisition, and within about 5 minutes I was able to pull a 2 1/2 carat diamond solitaire engagement ring in a platinum setting out of my scoop to Katie’s shock, and the shouts of success from the friends and other beach goers that knew of the situation.

What a joy to bring joy to those in despair over the loss of something so meaningful in their lives, as you can see from Katie’s smile, and the communication I had with DJ after the recovery. The other important fact in this story is that Katie and DJ will be celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary in a week. What a great job!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found and Returned with Joy.

Just one week ago I received a call from Bianca about her husband’s lost wedding ring. I told her I would come right away, and she told me that the loss took place near where they had set up their beach towels, which encouraged me. I haven’t been able to post until now because my hard drive failed and needed to be replaced.

When I got to the beach Bianca and her husband met me and showed me to the spot of the loss. She told me that her husband wanted to go swimming, and realizing going in the water might cause the ring to come off and be lost, he gave it to his wife for safekeeping.  She in turn put the ring on her thumb, so she would know exactly where it was. While he was swimming, and she was laying on her towel watching, a ball made a perfect trajectory in her direction, which caused he to swat at it with, of course, the hand that had the ring on the thumb. Bianca soon realized that after the ball was gone, that the ring was gone also.

I began my search in the direction the ball went when Bianca hit it. I did a thorough search, and cross grid, pulling up just a few coins, and no ring. I then went back to them, pulled my headphones off so I could discuss more options. As I was walking back, I believe Bianca and her husband anticipated my next action, and removed their towels, so I could look in the area where they were laying and behind them. I got back to them, and rested my detector so I could explain how hitting the ball could have cause the ring to actually bounce off of the ball, and go behind them. After my little talk, I put my headphones back on, and picked my detector up, when I heard that unmistakable sound. I had put my detector’s coil right on top of the ring when we were talking, but had not heard it because I had removed the headphones, and because of all the other ambient beach noise. I put my scoop in and pulled out this nice looking wedding ring to great joy all around. Bianca and her husband had only been married a few months, and she would have felt horrible for being the one to have lost her husband’s ring. It was a great pleasure to restore their joy.

Diamond Stud Earring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Found and Returned with Elation.

P1000139P1000138

I received an email from Carli last night about 10:15 asking if I could help her find her lost diamond stud earring she lost at the beach in the sand. I have been on enough searches for stud earrings to know that they are one of the most difficult items to find, in fact most detectors won’t even pick them up, and I made sure I let her know this upfront. I asked her about the spot of the loss, and she said it was lost on the towel line, which the county mechanically cleans on this beach daily, so I knew that this search was important. Carli was thinking early the next morning, when I told her I would meet her at the beach in 30 minutes, because of the type of search and the fact that there were too many factors that could make finding such a small item harder by the hour. We agreed to meet last night, and I was on my way.

I arrived just after 11:00, and she took me out to the spot. I had told Carli that the closer she could get me to the area would increase the likelihood of a recovery. She told me the earring came off her right ear when she was removing a piece of clothing so she had focused her search in that area earlier in the day. I told her though that I was going to search a wider area, because I have experienced that jewelry does weird things when it comes off. I found a few items such as foil, and a bobby pin, that Carli identified as hers. About 11:30, I was in an area that was to the left of her original position by about 10 feet when I received a good signal. I dug with my plastic trowel, and delicately shook the sand from the curved surface, when something sparkled. Carli’s husband said in the darkness with the flashlights that the sparkle caught his eye as well even as he was standing a few feet away. I reached down and then held up the earring Carli had lost. She expressed a considerable amount of excitement, saying “it was like a needle in a haystack”, which it truly was. The earrings I later found out had been given to her for a birthday present, what more can be said; the story continues. The attached picture says it all. Glad to be a maker of smiles.

Car Key Lost in Playa Del Rey, CA…Found.

Irene called today saying she had lost her car key at the beach. She knew where it was lost, so I figured I would be able to help her find it. I was able to get to the spot in about 45 minutes, and meet with her.

She showed me the spot, and I began my search. I went completely over the area she showed me finding numerous pieces of metal but not her key. I then asked a couple of more questions to be sure we had the right spot, she was sure so I began another search of the same area, and then found the key. Sometimes it is important to rework an area, because the position of the item being searched for might be turned in a particular way, that it can only be heard when crossed by the coil going a certain direction, another reason to cross grid when you know the area is certain.

Well Irene told me that if I was unable to find her key, it was going to cost her about $400 to replace because of the type key it is. I am glad to have been a help to her, and happily send her on her way; nice smile.

David called me yesterday evening, saying he had lost his wedding ring while playing volleyball at the beach, and wondered if I could help him. He was with a group from work that had traveled from Toronto Canada to participate in team building. I was just sitting in my easy chair, wondering what I was going to have for dinner, and told him I could be there in 30 minutes. I know it is so important to search for lost rings at the beach as soon as possible, because time is the one thing that works against finding them. We agreed on the location, and I was on my way.

David was waiting for me when I arrived, and we got right to the spot. As I asked my questions, he showed me where he was standing, and how he went to hit the ball before the ring flew off. He showed me the area he believed the ring would have gone to, which was when I told him it might surprise him, as to where the ring may have landed. This is because, sometimes the ring does things just the opposite of what we think it will do when it comes off of our fingers. I began the search, one line of the grid, and then went backwards from the direction he indicated to grid the second line, when at the middle of the second line I found his ring. He was surprised at the location, and that the ring was found so quickly. He was glad to have his ring back, and I was happy to have made his day.
