I got a call from Christy regarding her friend Erin. Erin had been surfing, and when she came out of the water, she removed her wetsuit causing her diamond stud earring to come off of her ear, and into the sand. Stud earrings are one of the most difficult items to find because there is such a small amount of metal attached to them. We arranged to meet, and I set off to do the search.

When I arrived at the beach, I looked for her, but there were a number of people out on the sand. I asked her to let me know where she was, and she began waving her arm. What I saw disheartened me a bit. She was standing in a group of no less than 30 people, mostly children moving around, and I began to think that the earring might have been stepped on and pushed out of detecting range. Erin had the other earring, so we put it in a ziplock bag, and placed it on the sand. When I tested the earring with my detector the furthest I could get from it and still detect it was about 2 inches, so I knew to find it, it needed to be close to the surface. As I began my search, everyone began to leave, and then as they were almost gone, Christy drew a circle of about 20 feet around the area where she believed the loss to have occurred which seemed rather large for such a small item. I worked slowly checking every faint signal I heard, and laid out a grid on the whole area. After, I began a cross grid, in order to not miss the earring because it might have been turned a different way. Then right in the middle of the circle I heard another faint signal, and moved some sand to check again. The signal came in stronger, so I moved a little more sand and rechecked. Now the signal was strong, so I dipped in my little scoop, and there in the bottom was the earring. I let Christy and Erin know it had been found, and Erin asked her husband to come and get it. He was reluctant to have his picture taken with the recovery, so He took one of me. Then I told him he might want to buy a lottery ticket because the odds of a recovery were so slim. Another great day.

I received a call from Alina right at dinner time. She had been playing volleyball at the beach, when in the process of hitting the ball, she saw her class ring fly off of her finger. This was a ring her parents bought for her after all of the hard work she put in to graduate from a prestigious university. I let her know that I would get there after I finished my dinner, but she had to leave to pack, because she was moving North in 2 days. I let her know that I would still conduct the search for her if she just let me know where the loss occurred. She then told me she set a marker at the location she had been standing when the ring flew off of her finger, and then left to pack. I knew I had to do this search at once, because this beach is not only machine cleaned by the county daily, it is a highly detected beach as well.

When I arrived at the beach it was now dark as I walked out to the area Alina had described to me. I looked around and found the marker she put in the sand. To my surprise a family had placed a blanket right next to the marker, so I asked them if they wouldn’t mind if I detected near them because I was trying to find something for someone, and they were good with that. I detected all around the area on the other side of the marker from where the family was with no luck, but many bottle caps and foil. I expanded my area a bit, still with no luck. Then as I wanted to detect the other side of the marker the family decided to leave. It was now about 9:30 PM. I began detecting where the family had been, and right where the blanket was laid I found Alina’s ring. She was gone, so we arranged to meet the next day for the return. She was so happy to have the ring back. It just made her day!

Darren called; he had been at the beach with his family celebrating an anniversary, and had removed his ring to enter the water, putting it in a bag. When they moved everything to leave and got to the car he realized the ring was missing. They went back and conducted a thorough search of the area, with no luck. I told him I would be there as soon as I could make it, and he agreed to meet me when I arrived to show me the area of the loss.

When I arrived we met up quickly, and went directly to the search area. I could see that there had been an extensive search because of the grid marks in the sand. I began my search, and found that the area was very clean from metal debris. I found one bottle cap, and right after got a good signal digging up a nice chunky gold ring. I held it up, and Darren was totally surprised, because it was right in the middle of their grid search. He wanted to give me a hug, but because of COVID stood down. Needless to say he was overjoyed to have his ring back, but did not want his picture taken. A great day!

I received a call from Jamie who had lost two rings. She had put them in her child’s rash guard pocket while applying sunscreen, and before she knew it, the boy was off into the water swimming and splashing around as deep as he could go. I told her I would come to do the search, and would leave as soon as possible.

When I got there Jamie met me, and showed me where the loss occurred, and the tide was retreating, but it was not going to be optimal. I began my search going into the surf as deep and close to the breakers as was possible for a recovery. The breakers were strong. I searched for about 30 minutes, and received a good signal about waist deep in the surf, dug a couple of times, and retrieved Jamie’s diamond wedding band. I was encouraged, as I continued to search for the other ring. I searched the whole area she was concerned about, and began to search out of the box, I continued my search until the incoming tide forced an end. I went back the next day to look again, but no luck on the second ring. I then went back another day, when the tide went into the minus stage at about 2:00 AM, but still no luck. I will be going back when I think conditions have benefitted the possibility of a recovery, but I was thankful to have been able to get one of the rings for her.  I do enjoy this service.

I got a call for a lost ring the other day. It seems Lewis was on the roof of a house working, when he remembered his ring was on his finger. He called his wife to come and get it so he tossed it down to her, but it slipped through her hands and went into the bushes and dead leaves that covered the area. I let them know I could come immediately and was on my way.

When I got there I was shown the area, and could see that they had moved a lot of the leaves, and exposed the grass underneath. I went over the leaves, but realized that the stone and concrete work underneath was reinforced, and was making my detector sound off continually, so they would have to be moved to search them. I then began on the grass under the bushes when after about 2 passes, I got a good solid signal, and moved the grass around. There under the grass was Lewis’ ring which I promptly handed to him. He was reluctant to have his photo take, so I am holding the ring in this shot. Needless to say it was a happy day!

Alaleh called in the evening saying she had lost some rings earlier in the day. We discussed what happened, and it sounded like this could result in a very successful recovery, so I convinced her to meet me at the beach as soon as we could get there, which turned out to be about 10:00 PM, so as to beat the county beach machines, and other detectors looking for treasure lost at the beach.

I got there a little while before Alaleh, and found the marker she had mentioned to me, and began my search. I made a few passes, and then Alaleh and her brother found me, and we talked about the loss. I decided on a search pattern based on the information she gave me. I searched out towards the way she believed she had gone. I went over the whole area, going beyond the scope in order to make sure something wasn’t overlooked. I found a handful of bottle caps, and foil, but no rings. I then decided to work in the other direction, as I could tell Alaleh was losing hope, and it was getting late, close to 12:00 AM, when after about 2 passes, I got a good signal, and dug. In my scoop was one of the rings, and I showed it and gave it to her. She buoyed in hope now, and I went over the hole again, scooped, and 2 more rings. I worked that hole a little more, and the lase ring was in my scoop. These rings all are very sentimental to her, 3 were given to her by her mother, and the other she bought as a freshman in college. She was so happy to have them back. What a grand night!

Brooks contacted me after losing his cell phone at the beach the day before. He had spent about 3 hours searching for it with no luck. I wondered if the county machines had picked it up during their beach sweep, but Brooks assured me that it was still showing up on the “Find My iPhone” app. We arranged to meet up at the area, and I was on my way.

When I arrived Brooks had another phone, and was able to show me the latest report from his phone, and it showed we were almost on top of it. I set up, and began my grid. After about two passes, and about 3 minutes time, I was able to dig his phone out of the sand and give it back. He was very relieved to have it back. A worthwhile morning!

I received a call from David who was calling for a friend that had lost his ring in the sand at the beach. David remembered me from 3 years prior when he called me for another friend who had lost his ring, which I found. This time his friend Brian had put his wedding ring in his hat when he went into the water, but forgot when his belongings were moved so the two of them could practice their Wifflle Ball skills. I let them know I would be able to come right away.

I got to the area, and David found me to wave me over the spot of the loss. He showed me the area, which did not seem to be large, right next to a trash can. I began my search grid, not finding anything. I then began a grid behind the trash can, and right next to it received a good signal. I had to scoop a couple of times because the target was moving, but when I raised the scoop, inside was a nice gold ring. I gave it back to Brian, who was happy he did not have to go home and have to explain to his wife how it was lost.😊 Another great day!

White Marlin Open Tournament Ring Lost in the surf at Manhattan Beach, CA…Found and Joyfully Returned.

I received a distressed email from Tommy the other day. He had lost a very special ring in the surf at the beach that he had been wearing for the past 23 years. He had won the ring at the Maryland DC White Marlin Open Tournament in 1997, a tournament that he had fished for most of his life, and to lose this precious reward was a major blow. The problem was that the ring was lost 3 days earlier, and I was already thinking that the possibility of a recovery was going to be slim to none. The best chance of a search was going to be the next morning, so that was going to be 4 days. I called Tommy and we discussed what had happened. There were details about the loss that were favorable, like the fact he lost it at high tide, which would have put me in a good position at low tide the next day. He was not able to meet me there for the search, but was able to give me a great landmark to use to do the search, so I let him know I would go, and let him know one way or the other if I was able to locate his ring.

I got to the area, and began my search at the top of the slope working North and South, and worked my way down to the water. There was so much sand, and I was not getting any signals although I was using one of my deepest detectors. I finally found one crusted penny. I reached the water’s edge, and donned my chest waders to search in the surf. I now worked East and West trying to maintain a close grid working down the beach. I was able to go out into the surf quite far because after going through a hole, there was a sand bar that raised back up, and was flat out to the breaking waves. I found another crusted penny out there, and ended up covering the whole area that I had searched up on the slope. Tommy had told me that if anything, he might have been more North of the landmark as opposed to South, so I moved up to continue searching in the Northern direction. I made a few passes from the top of the slope into the water, and while about 30 feet out in the water, out on the bar I got a good signal. I was able to scoop the target digging once, and after washing the sand from the scoop saw the ring I was hunting, I couldn’t believe it was still there, but seeing it made me very happy. I took a picture of the ring and sent a text to Tommy letting him know about the recovery, and he sent a me a text back, one of total disbelief. We arranged to meet when he got off of work, to return the ring. When we met, he told me how he had been in communication with the tournament to find out if the ring could be replaced, because he thought it was lost forever. I was very honored to be able to hand this precious memory back to him; made his day!

I awoke and found I had received an email from Leah. She had been at the beach the day before, when while in the water, she was struck by a wave, and knocked down. When she arose, she realized her ring was gone. Noticing the time the email was sent (12:17 AM), I could tell this was a distraught appeal for help. She told how this was her Grandmother’s wedding ring, a Grandmother I found out later, had passed away. This was a reminder of her Grandmother that she carried with her daily, so it turned out to be a great loss. Leah was not able to meet me at the beach to show me where to look, but had given some information in her email, and also sent me a Google Earth picture with an outline showing the loss area. I went at the earliest low tide that day.

I arrived at the beach, and began my search at one end of the area pictured, and began my grid. I continued my search, with very few targets, for about 1 1/2 hours, with no ring. I finished what I thought was the limit for that direction, and decided to go back to my starting point, and worked the other direction. I made about 4 new passes when that sweet sound came through the head phones, loud and clear. I dug, and in the pile on the edge of the sand was a nice glimmer of gold. I reached down, and picked it out, and it was Leah’s ring. I emailed her right away with excitement, and we arranged to meet the next day make the return. When we met, her mom was with her, and explained the importance the ring to Leah, and how devastated she was when it was lost. Leah was very happy when I gave it back, and her smile says it all!

Leah sent the following testimonial:

After I lost the ring, I just kept telling myself that it’s okay and it’s just a ring. But it kept bothering me and I felt so sad as if I lost someone. I lost the ring in the afternoon and I was still up and crying about it past midnight. I really couldn’t believe that I had just lost something so important me so fast. At one moment I was having fun with my friends splashing in the shallow waves (and making sure my ring was on and safe). The next minute later, I was trying to get up from being hit with a scary wave and then I realized my ring was gone.

I already felt much better after contacting Steve. Knowing that someone would still be searching for the ring, comforted me and I had hope! Once the ring was found, I literally felt “in balance” again. The ring was my late grandma’s and wearing it everyday for over three years now has always kept me tied to her. Having it back felt like I had a part of my grandma with me again.

Steve was incredibly kind when we met each other. His dedication and passion really meant a lot to me, he truly cares about his work!! I will always remember this story and Steve!

Thank you Steve!!!!
Leah
