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

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I had gotten back from finding Shane’s ring Friday when I received a text from Lucie who had lost her ring 5 days earlier at the beach. I let her know that I would meet her for the search, but that the time element (5 days) was going to diminish the possibility of a recovery. She had been watching a volleyball game and had removed the ring in order to apply sunscreen to her children, and when the bag it was in was lifted the ring was gone. It took a while to find someone to help, but she needed help and called; I was on my way.

I got to court, and Lucie was there with her two small children, she showed me the spot where she had been sitting on the towel, and she turned to pay attention to the children. I turned on my machine, and made two passes with it, when I got that sound in the head phones, put in the scoop, and there was her ring. I pulled it out to walk over and show her, just as her husband who had just arrived from work walked up; lots of joy. Lucie was so happy, I got a hug and kiss on the cheek, and a wonderful smile to share with the world, another great day!

Hand Made Wedding Ring Lost at Newport Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Last Friday I woke up early to go surfing, the waves had been real good, and it had been a while since I had been. I looked at my phone and noticed I had an email. I opened it and there was an email from Shane who had lost his wedding ring the day before, which had been sent at 1:00 AM. Well scratch the surfing, I had someone to help. I knew that an email sent that early in the morning meant someone who was having a hard time for sleep, and seeking any way to get the ring back. I answered his email, and he got back with me not long after. He explained that he had been playing Frisbee, and believed the ring came off when he threw the disk. We arranged to meet at the beach, and I was on my way.

When I got to the beach, I met Shane, and he took me out to the area where the loss occurred. I could see that he had made grid marks in the area he remembered. We discussed what had happened, and I set out some cones to mark a beginning grid (the area was pretty big). I began to search. I went over the entire coned off area, no ring. I then widened the search to overlap Shane’s own grid marks, no ring. I then went out of the grid area quite a bit thinking that his throwing action might have been a little more severe than he believed it was, no ring. I got with him again, was there anything you might have done to have lost the ring? He told me he had been with the children digging on the slope, sounded likely, searched the slope, no ring. Enter now Shane’s mother, she got with him to explain that she thought he was playing Frisbee even more out of the area we had been searching, so we decided to do a search in the place she recommended. After about 3 passes and 3 and 1/2 hours of total searching, my head phones exploded in sound, I dug, and in the scoop was color, pure color. I put it on my index finger so that when turned to face Shane it would be the first thing he saw. When he did a great big smile came on his face as he exclaimed “I can’t believe it”. Everyone else around came up and wanted to see the ring, which turned out to be 22 karat, or almost pure gold, that had been hand carved in wax by his bride to be, to be poured and finished as her token of her love for him.

Shane and his wife had just celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary just 14 days before, so this recovery meant so much more, WOW this was fun. So much joy this day, flowing in the sands of Newport Beach. What a great day, love it!

Gold Masonic Ring Lost at County Line Beach, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I was on my back home from finding the earring earlier when I received a call from Jeff. He had been surfing, but had brought the ring he had received from his late grandfather with him. So as not to lose it he put in his tight fitting wet suit. He came out of the water and began to remove the wet suit, when the ring popped out and landed in the sand. He searched for about an hour, but was unable to find it. He then searched the internet, and found me. I was about an hour away, and told him I was on my way. He had time constraints, seeing his friend was getting married tomorrow, and he had to be at the rehearsal later in the evening.

When I got there Jeff led me down to the spot of the loss. He had piled stones to mark it, and it assured me that we would be able to make a quick recovery. I could see that some of the shrubbery had been moved around, and the sand had been piled up in the center of the area. I proceeded to search where Jeff thought the ring may have landed. It wasn’t there, so I worked my way back. I searched the pile of sand where it looked like Jeff had done most of his  own searching, it wasn’t there either. I then started to work back almost behind where he had been standing when I received a good repeatable signal, dug once and missed it, dug a second time and in my scoop was a nice big gold Masonic ring, the ring he found among his grandfather’s belongings after he had passed away. This was so important to Jeff, a precious memory of his late grandfather, who he had just found out was a Mason , which also meant a lot to Jeff. I could tell the pride he had for his grandfather, and this made for a wonderful recovery. Also he still had time to make the rehearsal.

Tiny Diamond Stud Earring Lost in Backyard in Los Angeles, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Lisa called last night wondering if I would be able to find her daughter’s diamond stud earring. I inquired as to where and how it was lost, and of course how long ago. Apparently her daughter was playing volley ball in the back yard when she went up against the net. At that time her earring hooked in the net and pulled off of her ear. She saw it fly off and land in the grass, but found searching for it an effort in futility. The loss happened about 45 minutes before Lisa’s daughter found me on the Internet, and the call was made. We arranged to meet today at about 11:30 AM.

I arrived just a bit early, and was able to park and enjoy the coffee I bought at the fast food restaurant on the way. I called Lisa to let her know I was outside. She led me to the area of the loss. They had cordoned off the area her daughter saw the earring fly into with volley balls (nice touch). The thatch was good and thick, perfect for hiding jewelry. I then asked to see the twin to the lost one. When Lisa showed it to me, I got a bit concerned; it was so small my pin pointer could only barely pick it up if I touched it, and my detector could only pick it up at about 1 inch. I proceeded real low and slow checking every faint sound. I then got a nice faint repeatable  signal, and went in with the pin pointer and my fingers, gently moving the grass around when I saw the thin pin shaped shank of the earring. I grabbed it, held it up, and handed it to a very surprised Lisa. This was a very precious item for her daughter, and she was very happy to know she would be able give it back to her. A real nice beginning of the day.

Gold Earring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Joyously Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I was getting ready to eat my dinner last night when I received a call from Judith who had lost her earring in the sands of the beach. She had been walking along when she adjusted her hat. When she moved her hat, she heard a click, and reached up to notice one of the earrings her grandmother had given her was missing, it must have hooked in her hair which moved with her hat. She desperately searched for it as did her friends and some of the other beach goers to no avail. She then was given my number, and called for help. I was only 20 to 30 minutes away, so I grabbed my equipment, and was on my way.

When I got to the beach Judith and I found each other, and she led me to the area of the loss. I asked my questions trying to narrow down the search area by deductive reasoning. I began my search as I thought it should be done. My first signal was a hair pin. I then, as I moved in closer to where Judith and her friends had been sitting, received a real good sound in the head phones, and dug with my scoop. As I pulled the scoop out Judith told me her friends were sure the loss took place further out, and not where I was searching. While she was explaining this to me, I was looking at her earring in my scoop. That is when I reached in and held up her earring jokingly stating that the ring I found could not be the one we were looking for. Withing 2 minutes I was able to hand her earring back to her. Right away instant joy flooded her, and everybody around got excited about the recovery. When inquiring further about her grandmother and what this gift meant to Judith, I could see that it was a very emotional recovery indeed. What a wonderful thing to be able to produce this type of joy when something you thought was lost for good is found and returned.

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

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I got a call from David this afternoon about a lost wedding ring. Apparently the ring had been taken off so he could go into the water without losing it (a very smart idea). It was wrapped in a towel so as not to lose it. Unfortunately when he went to shower, the towel was opened up, and before anything could be done it was gone. I was only 30 minutes away, and headed right over.

When I got there David was with his friend Chris, and it was then I found out that the ring was Chris’ and not as I assumed, David’s. David had researched, found me on the internet, and made the call for his friend. They showed me the area where they believed the loss happened, which wasn’t very large. It took all but about 5 minutes, and I received a nice tone in the head phones, and in one scoop I had Chris’ ring. I then found out he and his wife had only been married for 8 months, so this loss was very disconcerting for him. It was awesome to see the great sense of relief and joy overwhelm him when I pulled the ring out of my scoop. What a great day!

Keys Lost in Ivy in Los Angeles, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a text Tuesday evening from Lexi asking for help to find some keys. Apparently Lexi had been spinning the keys around a finger when they flew off and into the ivy of an apartment complex. Keys can be very expensive to replace, so this was an important search. I got to the place the next morning, was shown the area of the loss, and began the search. It took about 10 minutes, until my detector sounded off with a good signal. I was able to give the keys back to a relieved Lexi. Unfortunately Lexi did not want a picture taken, so I just have the keys. I was able to make another person’s day though, and this is what it is all about.

Wedding Ring Lost in Panorama City, CA…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a call from Joe this morning explaining how he had lost his wedding ring while washing his car yesterday, hoping I would be available to help him. He told me that the grass was  very deep, and to find the ring in that thatch was not something he was able to do. We arranged to meet at his house at 12:30 PM to conduct the search.

When I arrived I could see that the grass was deep, and definitely a good set up for my AT Pro with the 5×8 coil. A few passes around the area of the wash, with no ring, then time to move out. I was only working the edges Joe had shown me, ready to expand into the main lawn are if necessary, when I received a great hit in the head phones. I grabbed my Pro Pointer AT, stuck it in the grass, and pulled out Joe’s ring. I was able to hand him back his token of commitment which he wasn’t sure would be found again. His wife Sarah came out excited that the ring had been found. That is when I found out they had just been married 6 months ago. So precious is the ring with such a fresh memory, what a great day!

Intertwined Platinum and Gold Wedding Ring Lost at Zuma Malibu Beach, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

While out detecting today I received a call from Ian who told me how he had lost his wedding ring after surfing yesterday, and wanted help in finding it. I arranged to meet his employee Dave in about 1 1/2 hours because of Los Angeles traffic. Ian and Dave had been surfing yesterday, but before they entered the water Ian realized he still had his ring on, so prudentially he removed it and put in his tight fitting wetsuit and went into the water. After a good session of gliding on the water, he got back to the car, and proceeded to take off the wetsuit forgetting for a moment that the ring was there. It didn’t take long for him to realize that it had disappeared into the beach sands.

Well I met Dave at the appointed spot, and he showed me where they thought it might have fallen. I then got to work, finding bottle caps and other pieces of metal. It took about 10 minutes, and then there was that sound I was expecting. Dave had done well to put me in the right spot, which saved time in the search. he told me that Ian had been distraught over the loss, so I knew there would be joy in his house tonight, and sweet sleep. So happy to be of service, and to supply joy to those who have lost the things that mean so much.

Ian sent the following testimonial:

Greetings,

My wife and I would like to thank you so much for finding my lost wedding ring. After getting out of the ocean at Zuma Beach I completely forgot that I had put my ring inside my wetsuit. I stripped off my wetsuit while standing in very deep sand despite all kinds of instinctual internal voices telling me that I should be peeling on a better surface. Hours later my wife asked me how my surf session was and I realized that I had no ring on. The evening had set and I knew that I was going to be unable to seek out my ring. Fortunately my good friend Dave volunteered the next day to put some energy into trying to find what truly was a needle in a haystack. After his searching and scooping the area that I hoped I had dropped my ring, I had given up. Then Dave asked, “What about Ring Finders.com?” A few minutes later I was speaking to Steve who generously volunteered to go to Zuma Beach after he finished a search in Venice for a misplaced phone. It took Steve less than 5 minutes to find my ring nearly a foot beneath the surface of the sand.
Angels come in many forms and I feel truly blessed to have encountered such an amazing and generous soul.
My ring is a matching ring to my wife’s and it’s loss would have been sad. We have always told our 2 children that they will each inherit one so thank you, thank you, thank you.

Platinum Wedding Band Lost in Park in Santa Monica, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a call from Jessica Sunday afternoon regarding her husband’s ring that came off while he was pushing their son on the swings at their local park. I told her that I would be happy to help, so we made arrangements. She sent me the address of the park, and I made my way over.

When I got there, Jessica’s husband Joshua, and their son met me, and showed me the area of the loss. He showed me where he was standing, and where he thought the ring may have landed. He said they had looked for it, and resolved that it just might be gone for good. I could see the drag marks in the sand from their previous search. I was standing back about 10 feet from that area when I turned my machine on. I lifted it up, moved the coil, and heard that unmistakable sound in my head phones, put my scoop in, and showed Joshua his ring in the bottom of my scoop; about 10 seconds in all. I was almost standing on top of it as we were discussing the loss. Needless to say he was amazed, and so grateful to have his ring back. It is so awesome to be able to be that person to hand back to someone like Joshua, something so sentimental that he thought was lost for good. Another great day.
