It was Labor Day and hot when I received the call from Blythe. She, her family and friends were at the beach trying to cool off. She took off her 3 diamond rings to apply sunscreen, and placed them on a piece of clothing. It was when the clothing was lifted that she remembered her rings, but it was too late, and they were lost in the expanse of sand. I let her know that I would leave immediately to help her, and I was on my way.

When I got to the beach parking was a bit tough because of the holiday, and I had to walk a bit of a distance. When I got on the sand Blythe found me, and took me over to the area of the loss. She explained what happened, and the search began. It took about 3 minutes, and all 3 rings were back on her finger. There was rejoicing all around, and some nice fellowship. I knew there would be sweet sleep this night. A wonderful Labor Day for sure!

Blythe sent the following testimonial:

Hello! I just wanted to send along a testimonial for the wonderful work Steve Smith did for me on Labor Day.
I was up in Malibu on Labor Day with my family and shortly upon arriving, I lost 3 rings,  including my engagement ring and wedding band in the sand after removing them to apply sunblock. We frantically combed through the sand for 45 minutes to no avail. I the started to google metal detector help in Los Angeles, I was absolutely desperate. I discovered Steve and called him thinking what are the chances anyone will pick up on Labor Day! Well, Steve did! He told me he’d arrive in an hour as it would take some time to get up there from the South Bay. We created a perimeter where we thought they had dropped. Steve arrived a while later with his trusty metal detector and sifter and within 2 minutes, he found the rings! I couldn’t believe it. I would hire him in a heart beat again and whole heartedly recommend him! He was absolutely lovely and even stayed to chat for a bit. Thank you again, Steve!!!

I got a call from Ethan at about 9:00 PM asking for help in finding a pendant that came off a broken chain in the sand at the beach that day. His girlfriend of 2 months studied a semester in Europe, and brought the pendant back for him which made it very special. He and his friends looked and looked, but were unable to find it. This is one of those beaches that are cleaned daily, so I knew that time was going to be the enemy here, so I told him that I would come right out for a search.

I got to the beach, but we were having a difficult time finding each other because Ethan was from out of town and did not know the area well. I ended up getting stuck in the beach sand while looking for him. Ethan then got his friends together and found me, and helped get my truck out of the sand; a new Ring Finders experience for sure. I followed them back to the area of the loss, and Ethan showed what happened showing the area he believed the pendant might be. The search was quit difficult because it was close to one of the fire pits which had a considerable amount of trash metal and iron making it hard to find a good signal. I searched the whole area with one detector, and then switched to another that I believed might work through the trash better. At about 11:00 PM, and after about 5 passes in one of my diggings, way in the back of my scoop I saw something odd shaped and reached in for it. It was the pendant, which I held out for Ethan. Everybody was elated at the sight of the pendant knowing that Ethan was leaving the next day back home with what he held so dear.

Neill called about his lost ring. He had been throwing a ball with friends when during a throw he felt his ring come off of his finger. It was a custom ring he had made in Japan, so it had significant sentimental value to him. He and his friends searched for what seemed to be easily found, but were unable to find it. I was available, and let him know I would come immediately.

When I got to the beach I found Neill, and he took me out to the area of the loss. He showed me what had happened, and replayed the motion of when the ring came off. After setting up the equipment, began a tight grid to insure not missing the ring. I made about 5 passes within their original search area, and then began to work outside that perimeter when a nice signal came through the head phones. I put the scoop in, and came up with a solid silver ring. I reached in and held it up for Neill who came over elated that it had been found. this made for the great end of the day.

Aidan contacted me about looking for a special necklace he had lost earlier that day. It was now about 8:00 PM, and I know the county cleans the beach regularly, so I asked him if he would be able to meet me there to show me where he had been when the loss occurred. He said he would check with his mom for a ride as he was coming from Pasadena which is about 30 miles from the beach. He called back to let me know that his mom was more than willing to give the ride, so I agreed to meet them as soon as they could get there.

It was about 9:45 PM when we all got there. Aidan was there with his mom and brother, and he walked me out to the area he had been. He showed me where he had set his things, so I began my grid. Pass after pass, and nothing. Not even very much trash metal. He then said that his friend had moved their stuff to the other side of the Lifeguard tower, so it might have fallen along the way. He then went over to the other side, and asked if I would come over there as well. I did while working in the area they had possibly walked, nothing. He showed me the new area, and I began a new grid. As I searched Aidan walked out over to the bathrooms where the showers were, but I plugged on. Pass after pass, then a really good signal, I scooped, and there in the bottom was a chain with some items attached, it was about 11:00 PM. I looked, and Aidan was pretty far from me, but his mother was on the other side of the tower, so I walked over to her, and said that I think we have looked long enough, and that they should get on their way home. She looked at me with resignation until held my hand out with Aidan’s necklace in it. When she saw it she just ran off yelling for him saying he found it, he found it! I found out that two of those pendants were given him by his mom, one at birth, and the other on another special occasion. The little soccer shoe was given him by a friend who had got it in Italy just a couple of weeks before. What great way to end a day!

Heirloom Ring Lost at the Wedge Newport Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

I got a desperate call from Jake who had driven up from San Diego to surf the infamous Wedge in Newport Beach. He had worn his ring that was made by his great great grandfather, and had been handed down from generation to generation. Before he went into the water he put the ring in his shorts so that it would not be lost in the pounding surf that day. I let him know that I would be there as soon as possible, and was on my way.

When I got there Jake was worried because the tide was coming in and beginning to wash over the area he had originally put his belongings. It did not look too bad, so I reassured him that if it was lost there it should still be there. I began my search where he had first been, and worked my way out the way he had left the beach. I was finding a few items, mostly metal trash. I continued my grid working back and forth across where he had walked. I kept working finding more metal trash as I got further from the water, but no ring. It wasn’t until I got to almost where he was seated on a light post foundation that I got a signal, dug and saw a ring in the scoop. I could see that it was unique, so I closed it in my hand and asked Jake if he could tell me what the ring looked like. He gave an exact description, then I held my hand out and opened it to his excited surprise. He was able to drive back home with the comfort of having this precious heirloom back on his finger. Love to see those smiles!

Got a call the other night from Lucas about a lost ring. It had happened that day, and he was still at the beach, so I arranged to meet him for a search as soon as I could get there.

When I got to the beach Lucas was waiting for me, and walked me out to the search area. As we walked he informed me that the ring was not his, but a friend’s. As we got close to the area of the loss Lucas introduced me to Josh the gentleman who lost the ring. Josh is a pastor of a local church, and had “Church on the Beach” that day. When the service was finished Josh grabbed his backpack to which he had attached his wedding ring, and somehow his ring fell off the clip it was hooked to. He and his parishioners searched diligently for the ring without success. I turned my detector on and began my grid. One pass, then another, one more and the sound I was waiting for, right in the area they had been searching. I dug, looked in my scoop, and to everyone’s surprise, pulled out Josh’s Ring. Everyone was very excited at the return, as was I. It is always exciting when I have successful recovery.

I was doing some shopping in Costco when I received a call from Igor. It seems he had lost a ring, and was hoping I was available to help him. I let him know what I was doing, but told him that as soon as I was finished, and got the food home I would come to help. That sounded good to him, so I would let him know when I was coming.

When I got to his office area Igor showed me where he believed the loss occurred, and showed me what he did to make the ring come off of his finger. He also said that he had purchased a detector to find the ring, but to no avail. The loss happened about 3 weeks prior, but was in such an area that it was sure to still be there. The area was covered with a good cover of ivy and dead leaves. There were some metal objects,and wires that had to worked around, but there was not too many other metal signals coming from the search. I covered all of the area that Igor had shown me with no luck. With experience I have learned that rings do not do what they appear to do, but sometimes the opposite, so it was time to work out of the box. I began to search behind where he thought the ring went, and got a good signal, reached down with the trusty pin pointer finding Igor’s ring. He was very happy as this was given to him from his wife just a couple months ago. It was sure nice to make his day.

Igor sent the following testimonial:

Jewelry is about many things, not just about a monetary value of it. Most often, it signifies important moments in our lives, and treasured memories, that mean to us more than just a price tag.
I am so thankful to Steve for the selfless service that he provides to make people happy! He found my ring, that meant a lot to me, and interestingly enough, now memory of his help is a part of this ring story as well…
Thank you so much for rescuing my little treasure, and all the best to you!
Igor A. Len

Molly called me to report that she had lost 2 rings in the sand at the beach, and wanted to know if I was available to help her find them. I let her know that I was immediately available and would leave as soon as I could get my equipment together.

When I got there I thought I recognized her, and she let me know that I had found the engagement ring for her last year at another beach. I then remembered the search, and the ring. She and her husband Jay walked me over to the area where they believed the loss occurred, and I set up for a search. Just 3 swings of the coil and I scooped up the yellow gold ring. Now for the engagement ring. It was a fine band with a solitaire diamond. I went over the area but did not hear the ring. I went out of the box in searching, but still no ring. I knew the ring had to be there, so it was time to cross grid the area. I made pass after pass, and then a soft whisper of a signal entered my head phones. I scooped, and there it was, Molly’s diamond solitaire engagement ring. This type of ring sometimes does what is called parachuting, and this makes the ring harder to find. I believe this is what happened, and is why a cross grid search is so important if the item is not found the first time through. Because this was the second time she lost her ring Molly was a bit embarrassed to have her full picture taken, but did allow me to show her holding her rings. It feels good to be able to save the day for people.

Annette called me in the morning asking if I could help in finding a lost wedding ring. I was available and the fact that it was at the beach she identified I was concerned about a recovery because the loss happened the day before. I explained the possibilities to her of it being gone because of the County beach sifters and other detectorists, but let her know that we should go in the morning before the beach packs out. She agreed, and we decided to meet there as soon as possible.

I met Annette, and her husband Chris at the beach. Well wouldn’t you know, we got down there and the spot they said they believed the loss occurred was occupied by a big group of families with small children. We asked if they would mind if we worked around them, and they said it would be fine. It was rather difficult because of all the metal chairs, sport bottles, and metal toys scattered all around the area, but I gave it a good old effort with no luck. Chris and Annette had to leave, so I told them I would finish the area where the people were as much as was possible without asking them to move all of their stuff, as well as some of the other possible areas they pointed out. I let them know that if it wasn’t where I was able to look, I would come back later in the evening when everyone had left the beach. I did not find it, so I came back at 8:30 PM, and within 10 minutes had Chris’ ring in my scoop. We decided to meet at a park to make the return which I was able to do to 2 very happy people. Another great day!

I received an afternoon text from Brock as he was out on the beach on the 4th of July. He was out enjoying the day when he noticed his wedding ring was gone. He said he and his friends searched for it, but were unable to find it. He had not left the area, and I told him that if he stayed, and secured the area, I would come and do a search for him; he agreed.

I knew that parking was going to be a problem on this day, one of the busiest beach days of the year, so I brought along my trusty Brompton folding bicycle in case I had to park far away. Well lucky for me that I brought the bike because I had to park about 2 miles away, but no problem. I put the equipment I needed into a bag, and slung it over my shoulder as I rode to the search area. When I got to the site and met with Brock, I folded the bike, putting it into a bag that I could shoulder and we walked out over the sand to do the search. When we got there he showed me where he thought the ring went. I got my equipment ready, and proceeded to search. Two passes later, and his ring was in my scoop. He was so happy explaining that he had only been married one month wherein I assured him that the finding of the ring will insure him of at least another month of marriage🙂 We talked a bit after, then I got on my bike and rode back to my vehicle. What a great day!

Brock sent the following testimonial:

Hi Steve,
Thanks again for the major save yesterday!
Here’s a short review about my experience:
“It was the Fourth of July, and as I sat back in beach chair I came to the realization that my 1 month old wedding ring was gone. I spent the next hour searching the sand in the immediate area to no avail. A google search for metal detecting services led me to Steve, who would turn out to be my savior.
A quick text and Steve was on his way to keep me out of the doghouse. Steve was polite, prompt, and found my ring in less than five minutes (realistically probably less than two minutes). I was ecstatic. I could not have asked for a better solution. Steve and I ruminated on lost jewelry and surfing, and then went our separate ways. I would highly recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in dire straits, on your hands and knees, desperately searching for your lost jewelry.”
Best,
Brock
