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.

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.

Men’s Wedding Band Lost in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA…Found.

Jamie called me yesterday morning to tell me that her husband had lost his wedding ring, and was wondering if I would be available to help find it. I did have a previously scheduled appointment in the morning, and asked her about the loss, and where it happened. She explained that it was a private beach, and had happened the previous day. I knew the beach, and figured there would be no other metal detectorists, and or county beach cleaners going through the area. We agreed to meet after I was through with my appointment.

When we got to the area of the loss Jamie showed me the spot where her husband was pushing the children on the swings, when his ring caught on something, and flipped off of his finger. They had searched with all available help but having no luck. I began my search looking in the obvious direction that I believed the ring would have been sent, being pulled off of his finger. I searched the area very carefully with no recovery, only some nickles, dimes, and pennies. I then went in the opposite direction, which was behind where he was standing, and got a good sound in my headphones. I scooped once, and had a nice unique looking ring in the bottom of the scoop. I put it in my hand and walked over to Jamie to say that I had not asked her what the ring looked like. After doing so, I opened my hand, and asked if it looked like this. She was very happy, and immediately informed her husband, who I am sure was also very happy. It was another good feeling day for them, for me, and for The Ring Finders.

I received a call from Elizabeth asking if I could help her find her ring that got lost in the sand at the beach today. She had taken it off and put it on her towel in order to apply sunscreen. She then got up to shake the sand from the towel, and realized the ring was still on it; she was heartsick. I told her I was on my way, knowing that it is imperative to get on a beach loss as soon as possible, so as not to allow other mitigating factors to make it harder to find; time is almost always the enemy in a ring loss.

When I got to the location, she showed me the area the loss happened, and told me how she and her friends, as well as other people in the area searched for the ring for over an hour to no avail. We moved all of their belongings in order for me to search without any false readings. I told her that it was probably going to surprise her as to where I find it, because I know that rings find a way to fly further than a person thinks they will. I began my search, and went over the area the towel had been in, and went to the place she had shaken out, both silent. I then started moving out away from the location when I heard what I was looking for. I scooped once, looked down and saw the edge of the ring on the side of the hole. I reached down, and picked it up to show Elizabeth who was then overcome with emotion, and so happy that I had found her ring. She explained that it was her grandmother’s ring that was given as a gift by her grandfather before her grandparents were even married. Her grandparents had since passed away, and her mother had given her this ring, to have their memory close to her all the time. Therefore to lose the ring was to lose a great portion of her precious memories. What a great day, to be able to hand Elizabeth back something she was beginning to think was lost for good, and to be able to see that great big smile; what a great day!

I received a call from James while visiting relatives about 30 miles from my house asking if I could help find his lost wedding band. He was playing volley ball, and was going for a hit on the ball when his ring flew off. I told him it would take a little longer than I would normally have taken to get there, if he was willing to wait, and he agreed to wait. I have been retired for a while, and my wife has told me that I went from a 9 to 5 schedule to having doctor’s hours, meaning now that I have chosen to be a ring finder, I am on call at all hours of the day. We said good by to our relatives and I made haste to get to James to find his ring.

When I got to the area and found James, he was waiting at the court with a friend. As he was explaining what had happened, I began getting ready for the search. The main thing that James did right, is to call someone from The Ring Finders immediately after the loss. This allows the person to have the best recollection of the loss, and to not have any other factor to work against the finding of the lost item; as I always point out to those I search for, time is the enemy regarding lost items. He showed me the area where he believed the ring was lost, and I began my search. I went about 10 feet when I heard that sweet sound of precious metal. I dug once, and there in the bottom of my scoop was a nice platinum ring, James’ ring. When I reached in and removed it he was amazed, and relieved I had found it so quickly, but in reality a lot of the finding was helped because of his promptness in calling me out, and staying on the scene. I was sure happy to see his smiling face when I handed him his ring today, it made my day.

I had just gotten home from 4 hours of surfing, when I received a call from Sam asking for help to find a lost wedding ring at the beach. Knowing the importance of getting right on it, I told him I would leave immediately and arrive within half an hour or so.

When I got to the spot Sam met me there and showed me the area where he believed it was lost. It was a volley ball court, so I was thinking he was hitting the ball when he lost his ring. So I was figuring flight patterns of where his ring might have went, when he told me it wasn’t his ring, but a client’s, as he is a personal trainer who was putting her through a work out earlier this morning. He then pointed out the patch of sand they were using, and I got right to work. After about 15 minutes, and a little outside of where Sam thought it might have been I got a real good tone in my head phones about one inch under the sand. I put in my scoop, and out comes this real pretty ornate ring.

It was great to make his day, and I am sure his client’s day. This is what it is all about, to know the story of the ring continues, and smiles all around.

About 4 hours after finding a ring in Pacific Palisades in the morning on 1-2-16, I received a call from Aggie about her missing earring. She had been at the beach with her family, and when leaving realized it missing. Knowing that some earrings can cause fits for detectorists, I asked what kind of earring it was, and she replied it was a stud earring. My heart sunk; the hardest type of earring to find, and in beach sand. I told her I would be there in 30 minutes, and then I would try to see if my detectors would be able to pick it up at all, seeing she still had one that was not gone.

When we met at the beach Aggie showed me the other earring, and when I saw it my hope increased. Although it was small, the stone was completely surrounded by the gold mount, and not just attached by gold wires. Even with that my detector would only pick it up at about 4 inches, but with the moist sand, I was hopeful the little item did not sink too far. The area she showed me was quite large, but narrow, so I was not going to have to stretch the search too far. I began, and searched for about 10 minutes, when Aggie began to rethink the possibilities of the loss, so we switched the search area. I searched again for about 10 more minutes, and she again asked me to look in another area. I find a lot of times people can remember things that help in the search when they are there when I am searching.  When we were at this last location, I noticed a patch of sand that had been disturbed, and asked if that was where they had been sitting. She said it was, so I started searching that area when I got the sound I was looking for. Because the earring was so small and delicate, I used a plastic trowel, and a pin pointer to recover it. When I found it Aggie couldn’t believe it; so much sand, and such a little item.

Aggie then explained that this pair of earrings were given to her for a 10th wedding anniversary, which explained why they were so precious. A very happy day, and a great big smile to start the new year with.

Adrian called me early evening on 12-26-15, but because I had been receiving over one hundred butt calls and texts from my traveling son in about 3 hours (and turned my ringer off), I did not see that I had a voice mail an email from him until later that night. He explained to me how he had been climbing the slope at the beach using his hands to gain traction, when he noticed his ring had come off. I promptly sent him and email letting him know I would be available at about 12:00 PM Sunday, to meet them for the the search. He let me know the next morning he would be able to meet me.

When I got to the spot, I met Adrian, his wife Laura, and their young son. Adrian took me to the spot where he remembered losing his ring, and I began my search. I searched the area thoroughly, but did not find his ring. I asked if he could have been North or South of the location whereby he gave me an area that he might have been, outside of the original location. The one thing to remember, is that the shoreline changes from day to day, and without perfect landmarks, it might be hard to find the exact location again. I went across the top of the slope from one end of his instructions to the other with no ring. After, I began to work down the slope, and ended up finding the ring about 25 feet from the original spot. When I found it, I picked it up to show Laura, and asked, “did the ring look like this”. When she saw it she hurried over, unsure, but looked inside to see her name and wedding date engraved inside, and became very excited with much joy. What a great opportunity, to be able to bring this kind of joy to hearts crushed by the loss of such an important part of their lives.

Mike called me this morning about his wedding ring he lost while pushing his children down a sand berm at the local beach yesterday. I told him I would be there in about an hour. When I got to the spot Mike met me, and showed me the area they were playing. You could still see the marks made by the sled they were using, so it made finding the location very easy. You could see though how exasperating it would be to try to find a ring on such an incline because of the way the sand moved as one climbed, or tried to dig on it.

I began at the bottom of the hill, and worked my way up. Originally Mike thought it might have been about half way down, or towards the  bottom, as that is when he noticed it missing. I received some signals in that area, and marked them, but they were not what I was wanting to hear, so I kept moving up the berm. I got near the top, when I heard a good signal about 3 feet off to the right of where they were sliding. I dug, and had Mike’s ring in the bottom of my scoop, turned and showed him. He was very happy, and thankful to have it returned. It was a pleasure to be able to make his day, and continue the story of his ring; the ONE he received from his wife on the day they were wed.
