Lost House Key .. Huntington Beach, CA. .. Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Carol was taking care of her friend’s house and dogs while they were on vacation. After locking dead bolt lock on the door from the outside, she walked to her car parked on the street. That’s where she noticed only house key she had was missing from her key fob.
Carol’s mother, Debbie came to help her look for the key. After two frustrating hours they were unable to locate the single key. Most of the short walk to the car was cement except for about 40 feet of grass between the sidewalk and the street.
When they contacted me I was only a mile away. We met about 20 minutes after the call. After hearing Carol’s story, I planned to eliminate the grass area first using my normal metal detector. Then I would take my hand held pinpointer detector to search the small planters in the patio entry area.
A neighbor saw me with the metal detector and joined in on the search by visually searching the patio area. Bingo, the key had dropped into a planter and the neighbor was able to see it before I got out my pinpointer. The important thing was Carol had her key back so she could feed the dogs.
This call was a referral from Steve Smith a fellow member of TheRingFinders metal detector service.

Engagement Surprise .. Laguna Beach, CA. .. Using Metal Detector

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Chelsey had called me with a strange request. Her brother, Arron was planning a special way to ask his girlfriend to marry him. He wanted to take her to dinner at the Montage Resort in south Laguna Beach, CA..  His plan was to walk on the beach after eating and to have me find a small treasure box next to them with my metal detector.
I wasn’t sure how we would accomplish this but I met Arron’s sister on the beach known as Treasure Island. We buried the box with the engagement ring. She marked the location with some small sticks. It was a beautiful location and it was about to be sunset.
Arron and Mandie walked out onto the beach while I was detecting near them. As They stood almost on top of the box, I approached them with my detector. I had the speaker mode on, so there was an audible signal they could hear.
When my detector sounded off, I looked at them, saying there is something big just under the surface. I asked them if they could retrieve it. Mandie looked confused, but Arron reached down to scoop up the box. I turned and walked away. He opened the box where a beautiful engagement ring was. Then he dropped to his knees presenting the ring to Mandie, asking her to marry him. We also had a photographer who was sitting on the beach. She recorded everything.
It was a fun to be a part of this special moment for Arron and Mandie.

Diamond Stud Earring Lost in Cemetery in Valencia, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I received a call from Arvin last night asking if I would be able to help find a lost diamond stud earring in a cemetery. I told him I would help him only after we went to the main office, and received permission to do the search. I did let him know ahead of time, that diamond stud earrings are one of the hardest pieces of jewelry to find, because they are made with such a small amount of metal. We agreed to meet today at about 3:00 PM.

When we met, Arvin’s wife Larraine explained that it was their daughter Lauren who had lost the earring. Lauren’s grandmother had given her those earrings, so there was a very strong sentimental value attached to the missing jewelry. Larraine, Lauren and I went to the office where they explained what had happened, and I said that I would only be there for that particular search and then leave, so the manager gave us the go ahead for the search. When Arvin took us to the area, he and Lauren showed me the boundaries, and explained that Lauren had been holding her baby brother while the family were paying respects to Larraine’s grandparents. While Lauren had her brother, he reached up out of curiosity, grabbed her earring, and pulled it right out of her ear. She reached up, and all she had was the back stuck to her ear. They checked the brother’s hand, no earring. They checked the mat Lauren was sitting on, no earring. They then deducted that it had fallen into the thick grass. The family had searched for the earring for 2 days without success, so Lauren went to the internet, and found me on The Ring Finders site.

I began by testing my equipment on the remaining earring, and was able to get about 1 to 1 1/2 inches on the detector. I then checked my pin pointer, and it had to touch the earring in order to get a response, so I knew I had to pin point well with my detector. I was receiving many signals, many were too strong, but checked them all. I searched the original area I was shown, but did not find it. Then moved a few feet lower, and received a faint signal. I put the pin pointer in the thick grass, and got a response. I kept the pin pointer in the grass as I moved the grass around. I could hear the pin pointer, and was looking at the earring which I could barely see in the dirt below the grass, but there it was. I grabbed it by the shank, brought it up, and held it out for Lauren, she and her father were totally surprised. One of the hardest items to recover, found and returned. Needless to say, we all felt real good at that moment.

Lauren sent the attached testimonial:

On Sunday, April 30, 2017 I lost my diamond stud earring in the grass at Eternal Valley Cemetery. My little brother accidentally took it off my ear and it fell somewhere. We looked for two days but we couldn’t find it. On Monday, May 1, 2017 that night I searched up on google how to find an earring in the grass” and that’s where I found out about this website called, The Ring Finders. I read through the website and it said something about someone being able to find their diamond stud earring, in the grass with the help of whoever is in charge of this website. I looked for more information and then I read a name. Steve. And so I assumed that he was in charge of this website. And I was right. His number was there, so I tried calling him. We arranged a meeting for the next day, May 2, 2017 and that’s on a Wednesday. At 3pm. At first, I was hesitant. Although I’ve read his blogs about him being able to help some people, I was still a little worried. I thought, would he really be able to help us look for my earring? Because I know we’ve looked for two days and we didn’t find it. But I took my chances. I knew that diamond earring had a sentimental value to me, so I just hoped he would be able to help us. And he did! It took him an hour and I almost thought he would never find it, but he did. He found it. We were all so happy. My parents, and especially me. It was really unexpected, but with the help of Steve and his equipments, my earring was found. I can attest to this event, and I am a witness that The Ring Finders is legit.

Sincerely, 

Lauren

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

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

A week ago Saturday, the 22nd, I had fallen asleep in my chair in the living room, I woke up close to 2:00 AM, and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water before going to bed, when I saw that I had received an email from Mary regarding her husband’s lost ring on my phone. I checked the email, and saw that I had received it just minutes before at 1:51 AM, so I responded immediately. She responded right back and said it might have been lost in the water probably when they were playing with the football, so I checked the tide chart to see when the next lowest tide would be, which would be the next afternoon. I also told her that I was headed to bed, and asked if she would give me a call. Mary responded back, that I could call her, which I did in the morning to get all the specifics. Mary related to me that she and her husband had only been married 4 months, so I could tell this recovery was special. She also said it would be difficult for her to meet me there because of the distance to the beach from her home. She did the next best thing by providing me photographs from satellites that helped me narrow down the area, so with the pictures and her interview, I waited until the tide started to drop the next day, and made my way to the beach.

When I got there, the beach was starting to fill in with people, so I got started, working in and out of the water, waiting for children to play, and then moving forward, waiting for people walking by, and then moving forward, making sure I covered every inch, as much as possible. Targets were few. I was not finding too much, and after about 2 hours started to get a bit discouraged myself, as I saw the beach getting more crowded, and the tide starting to come back in. Then on the outer edge of the search area, I found a set of USMC dog tags (which I will be sending back to the DOD) wherein I started to feel like I just might find the ring. About 1/2 hour later I got a good signal in the head phones, dug, and it was the ring, this made my day.

As soon as I was able I sent a photo of the ring to Mary, and she was surprised, but very happy. We decided to meet today, a week later for the return because of her schedule. She was willing to drive to me to receive the ring, but  I decided to drive out towards her direction to make the return easier for her, because a round trip for her to me would have been almost 400 miles. When we met, and she saw me coming with her husband’s ring, she seemed a bit overcome with emotion, but instantly happy. It is a beautiful thing to see the joy a return of those items such as wedding rings bring to those who have them returned. One look at the picture above, and you see joy that is not manufactured, that’s what this is all about!

Mary sent this testimonial to include here:

We were looking forward to spending a day at the beach and had a great time there. However, after driving 3 hours home, my husband realized his ring was missing. We had pretty much just accepted that we wouldn’t be getting the ring back because for all we knew the ocean could have taken it anywhere! After going to bed, I just couldn’t sleep thinking about it and started to research of our insurance policy would cover the lost ring. In my searches, the Ring Finder website came up and I clicked on it out if curiosity. After reading Steve’s testimonials, I read about another couple who had lost their ring in the water. This gave me some hope, so I sent Steve an email late at night figuring we had nothing to lose! I was surprised when he emailed back right away, volunteering to go look for it the very next day.  I kept checking my email the next day to see if we had anything from Steve, and a few hours after he started looking for it, we received a picture of the recovered ring! We were BEYOND happy and grateful for the work he put into finding it!  We highly recommend Steve if you’re reading this wondering if you should contact him.  The sentimental value of things like this can’t be replaced, and he is such a genuine person to work with!  He was so kind during the whole process and even volunteered to meet us closer to our home to save us some of the drive.  He is very professional – the ring was even returned to us in a little jewelry box! I can’t say how happy I am enough that we have the ring back.  Steve offers a great service and you can tell he really cares about helping people recover their valuable and sentimental items.  God bless you, Steve! We are so so grateful!

A Most Beautiful Rose Gold Solitaire Wedding Ring Lost at Hermosa Beach, CA…Found and Back Where it Belongs.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

I had been away from my phone for a little while today, and when I turned it on, I saw that Faith had called and sent me a text about her lost ring. I called her immediately, and apologized for not getting back to her sooner, but started asking the standard questions about the loss, where, when, what were you doing when it happened, as well as some others. I was just 30 minutes away, and got on the way, because she told me she had to go to work in 2 1/2 hours.

Faith is a Flight Attendant out of Washington state, and was on layover for a while, so she decided to enjoy her day at the beach before boarding the plane home. She got out the sunscreen, put her ring in her shorts pocket, and proceeded to enjoy the day. When she got ready to leave she picked up her shorts, and her credit cards fell out, she picked them up, and walked over to the strand. When she got there she realized her ring was not on her finger, so she went back, and began a search where the cards had fallen. A couple of gentlemen joined her in the search, and she searched for about 3 hours before finally finding my number and giving me a call.

When I got there, I set a grid, and began searching. I could see where she had been searching by the condition of the sand, but began my search outside of that area to be sure I covered everything. The beach was pretty clean, I found a penny, and some piece of plastic with a couple of screws in it. I got to the area of Faith’s search, I was about to pass my coil over a patch of sand, when I looked down, and there laying on its side in full view was her ring, with its almost 3 karat diamond staring up at me. The color of the rose gold worked almost like a camouflage in the brown sands. I picked the ring up in the scoop, turned to Faith, and pulled it out. She looked, hesitated, and then asked, is that my ring? She came right over, gave me a big hug, and of course, it was certainly a pleasure to see her face lit up with a glorious smile. Faith will sleep well tonight, and her smile will be forever emblazoned in my mind; GREAT DAY!

Platinum Tacori Wedding Band With Diamonds Ensconced Fully Around the Rim Lost for 3 Days at Santa Monica, CA Beach…Found and Returned to Kirkland, WA.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Tuesday night about 10:00 PM I received an email from Dan regarding the loss of his wife’s ring, wondering if I could help. I asked if he would call me so I could discuss the situation with him. He also told me in the email that the ring had been lost on Sunday, on a highly groomed beach by the county beach sifters, and detected continuously by many detectorists, which made my heart sink a bit. We talked a little when he said he was in Washington state, but his wife Stephanie was vacationing here in Southern California. After going over some of the particulars, I asked if he would contact his wife to have her call me, so I could try to narrow down the search area. Stephanie called me first thing in the morning as I was getting ready head to the spot for the search. She narrowed down the area for me with specifics. I explained to her about the county cleaners, and although using the term her husband had used in his email to me, “long shot”, I told her I would go and perform a thorough search. I asked her if she would be able to meet me there so I would be certain I was searching the correct area, she said she was scheduled to fly home to Washington, so instead of cancelling her fight, and because the possibility of a recovery was a long shot , she decided to fly home as scheduled.

When I got to the beach, to the area Stephanie described, my heart sunk even further. The county had been through with their machines, and the sand was smooth as if someone had dragged a 2×4 across it. I sent this picture to her so she would understand what the possibilities were.

I searched all of the area she had described to me. She told me she had been at the top of the slope, back from the edge going down to the water. I came up with very little in the way of any metal, the county is very thorough. I worked out further in each direction, in case the machines had just moved the ring instead of picking it up; nothing. I worked back from the edge to about 20 feet; nothing. I then decided to work the slope down to the beach, even though she told me she had not been sitting there. It was the one area the county does not clean with the machines. I worked along, and then got a real good signal in the head phones, dug, and had her ring in my scoop. I could not believe it! It was still there after 3 days! It wasn’t until I read Stephanie’s testimonial that I understood what possibly happened, she wrote, “A person nearby came over and started to help me – really pushing the sand away to try and uncover the ring.” I think that probably the person who “helped her”, really did help her, by probably throwing the ring down the slope, out of the reach of the county’s machines.

I got home, went to the post office after getting their address from Dan, and sent the ring off to Washington. What a great opportunity, to be of importance to someone in need; a great day indeed.

Stephanie sent the following for this post:

I flew into LA for a long weekend. On Sunday I decided to go to the beach. Before I left the hotel, I very intentionally decided to wear my wedding band but not engagement ring out that day. I was traveling without my husband and wanted to make sure I looked married.

 I jumped on the bus, grabbed a drink at Starbucks, and made my way to the ocean. I put on sunscreen. I sent happy pictures to my family. I popped in earbuds and was basking in the sun. I absentmindedly touched my left thumb to my ring finger. No wedding band!

 I sat up very carefully. I combed the beach with my fingers. Then I gently pushed the sand to the side with my palm. A person nearby came over and started to help me – really pushing the sand away to try and uncover the ring.  We searched for over half an hour. No ring to be found.

 I returned to the apartment, certain that the ring was lost. A day passed. Two days later a friend chided me to be more active in trying to get the ring back. I called the bus company. No ring. I went back to Starbucks. No ring. A third day passed. Late that night a friend encouraged me to check CraigsList lost and found. No ring, but a picture of a guy with a metal detector.

 I dropped a message to my husband (still at home, but with a Craigslist account) – “Can you contact this guy?” I gave my rough location for him to pass on– a cardinal direction and a life tower number. I sent along a vague aerial map with an arrow pointing to a stretch of sand.  I described my ring – it’s practically a hollow dime – 3mm wide and tiny – a size 4. I went to bed.

 I woke up in the morning and saw a text message from my husband. “Call him – his name is Steve.” I spoke with Steve. I was scheduled to get on a plane back home that morning and we agreed it was probably best for me to get on the plane versus meeting him on the beach.

 Before I boarded the plane, Steve sent a picture of the beach. It had been groomed the night before – smooth sand. I saw even less probability of a recovery.  I powered down my phone for the flight.

 I landed at home in Seattle. I fired up my phone as soon as we touched down. I saw an image had been delivered, but it took a moment to download. The image pushed through – It was Steve’s hand, palm up, sand in the background. In the palm, of course, my platinum, hollow dime of a wedding band.

 I’d been good about resisting crying up until this point, but I gasped and started crying when I saw this image. I called my husband, “Is that my ring?!” In retrospect, I am fairly certain the men sitting on either side of me on the plane thought they witnessed me being proposed to. In reality, I didn’t cry 8 years ago when my husband proposed. I reserved the tears for the moment that Steve presented me with the ring.

 Less than a day after landing, the ring arrived via secure post, courtesy of Steve, was back on my finger. For good!

Lost IPhone at Santa Monica Beach, CA…Found and Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Clark called late afternoon yesterday saying that he had lost a cell phone at the beach, and was wondering if I could help. I was not able to go immediately, but let him know that I could go later. He decided to continue his search, and I offered some tips on how do the search himself. When I was able to go, I had not heard back from Clark, and thought they must have found the phone, but decided to call and check anyway. I was surprised, they did not find it, but I was hoping they would have called back. I asked him if they were still at the beach, and he said no, they had gone home, which was about 2 hours away. I then offered to still go and do the search, it was about 7:15 PM, so Clark gave me very good directions to the area they believed the loss occurred, in and around some swing-sets.

I got to the area about 8:30 PM, and was immediately discouraged, because the swings were full of young people enjoying themselves, and I wondered if I would get a chance to work the spot. People started to leave which gave me my opportunity. It took about 15 to 20 minutes for me to located the phone. I sent Clark a text that I had found the phone, and he asked for a photo of it to be sure. When he realized it was the phone he asked to meet and get it that night. I realized it must have some important information; maybe some medical information, or serious business contacts, I just did not know, so I told him no problem, whatever it was going to take. It was going to take almost 2 hours for them to meet with me, so I chose a coffee shop, and said I would wait for him there.

When Clark arrived, his girlfriend Aimee was with him, and it turned out that it was her phone. What a great guy Clark is to have coordinated all of this for his girlfriend. Also the importance of the phone was severe, because Aimee had an college exam on Monday, and all the information needed to study and take the exam was on that phone. I can’t think of a more stressful situation for a young person than that. I was sure happy to unite her with her phone, and make her day.

Wedding Ring Lost in the Sand at Hermosa Beach, CA…Found With a Fun Return.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

Russell called me this afternoon after he had lost his ring. He was hoping I would be able to help. I asked a few questions, and said that it take me about an hour to get there because I was out of town, and he was willing to wait. Russell had taken his daughter to the beach to play on the swings. While he was watching his daughter , there was a group of young ladies playing volley ball near him, and the balls would sometimes come to where he was sitting. He would then pick up the ball and toss it back to the ladies, when the last time he did, his ring popped off and disappeared into the sea of sand.

When I got to the area, I could see Russell surrounded by a group of ladies all in the sand. I came to find out that the lady volley ball group was from China, and barely spoke any English, but when they realized what had happened to Russell, wanted to help him find his ring. By the time I got there they had been searching for at least 45 minutes scouring the sand where the loss took place. When they saw me and my equipment, they were very intrigued, and followed me as I searched. Each time I would get a signal, the ladies would huddle around as I brought up the find, and I would give each one of them the find to hold; a screw, a pull tab, a pin, etc. I then got a good signal in the head phones, and the ring was in the scoop. All the ladies clapped and Russell gave each one of them a big hug for their helpfulness. All of them wanted to take a lot of pictures, and this one just captures the moment with Russell’s great smile, surrounded by his helping crew. Great day!

Russell sent the following to include on this post:

Walking to and around the Strand in Hermosa with my daughter has become routine over the past couple years. From the Baby Bjorn at just a few months, to the hip, an occasional seat on the shoulders overseeing what probably feels like sitting on top of the world, to now, keeping up with the little Olympic sprinter, one thing is certain, I am in love. Having married three years ago, my wife and I were blessed with a beautiful daughter and our lives were forever turned upside down from the moment she arrived.

Recently, walks to the Strand have one general purpose, the swing.  We wake up, we eat breakfast, maybe take in a little PAW PATROL and then we’re out the door.  April 10th started as usual business.  We crossed the street and I asked my daughter if she wanted down to walk. Of course, she declined.  I asked if she were ready for the swings and she nodded while looking at me knowing I had the answer.

As we approached our stomping grounds, on this morning, we would have company. Not paying mind to the closeness of the action, I put my daughter in the swing where she immediately focused on the volleyballs flying in and around our direction.  As usual, I would give her a few pushes, move back a bit, drop to my knees and begin building my princess her sand castle that she eagerly awaits to climb, stomp, smash and use as a slide.

We had been at the beach for no more than ten minutes. While constructing the castle, a ball zipped in my direction that I caught and without hesitation, threw back to one of the girls training.  Moments later, another ball would find its way in my direction that I would catch, again, throw back however this time, would throw with it my wedding ring.  I immediately felt its weight “fly off” my finger.  Happening so quickly, I couldn’t see the exact direction the ring would travel however, my world stopped spinning. Flashbacks of my wedding day resurfaced.  Forgotten faces would reappear, and the sentiment of life would take new ownership.  The beach became a sea of memories and with it carried a feeling of unexplainable loss.

I called my wife to share with her what happened. She would soon show up to help aid in the search.  The volleyball team would literally come into play as well. A morning fit for a father and his daughter would become without notice, a search and rescue effort.  After forty-five minutes without discovery, a couple had approached the swings and learned of my story. Not too focused on their involvement, I would overhear the woman conversing with her partner that she was going to look for a metal detector.  Having no success at a local restaurant on the Strand, she walked to the Lifeguard unit where she was provided a yellow piece of paper with a gentleman’s phone number on it.  That gentleman would happen to be Steve Smith.

Not losing hope, but confidence, I reluctantly dialed Steve who would answer and agree to meet with me.  What would feel like an eternity, Steve would arrive a little over an hour after having talked on the phone with gear in hand and new life.

I shared with him my story, he mapped out a grid, began to detect and the rest is history.

As Steve searched, I pondered at the women’s volleyball team standing in a circle with me while waiting for any sign of good fortune.  I was thinking about how they were here from another country training to be Champions but yet became so concerned with finding my ring.  I was just a father searching for a piece of metal.  What mattered most?  Becoming a champion or a ring?  I guess in sports, one comes with the other.  I was so touched, honored and thankful for their selfless act of kindness, I had never before experienced anything like it in my lifetime.

What joy and happiness erupted once Steve turned up the ring will never be forgotten.  My world began to turn again, I felt like I had an army of angels around me and maybe I did.  I will find comfort in that for the rest of my life and will be forever grateful to the men and women that helped save not only the day, but the memory and meaning of watching my wife slide my wedding ring on my finger the day we married.

Lost Rose Gold Wedding Ring .. San Clemente, CA. .. Found and Returned

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Alan and his wife, Cynthia are from Utah. They call this, their maternity vacation to celebrate the coming of their first child which is due in two months.
Alan had taken off his rose gold wedding band while putting on sunscreen, setting it on his towel. Forgetting the ring was on the towel, he pick up the towel as they were leaving the beach. Within a few minutes he realized that the ring had fallen into the sand.
Even though he knew the location, he could not find the ring. Alan did a Google search which pulled up TheRingFinders.com., he was able to stay at the location till I got there an hour later. Timing was important and made this a quick successful search.
Alan was amazed at how well the metal detector found his ring in the location he searched for hours.

Lost White Gold and Diamond Wedding Ring .. Huntington Beach, CA. . Found

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

It was near 8:45pm on a week night when Giovani called to ask if I would be able to help him find his wife’s wedding band that he dropped in the sand. I asked him what beach he was at when at when he lost it. Also if it was in dry sand or in the water.
He was half way home about 20 miles from Huntington City Beach when I talked to him. I told him I would go to the location right away. He was thinking that we could meet the next day, but he was willing to turn around and drive back to the beach.
He had told me it was about 12″ inches from the metal frame of the lifeguard tower. This could be a problem, if it was next to the metal skids, so I brought a large sifting tool.
The area was small but so was the petite white gold ring. I’m not sure what position or how deep the ring was. I did get a faint tone that did turn out to be his wife’s ring. Katelin was standing there as I passed my sand scoop for her to see her cherished wedding ring in the bottom of the scoop. It was almost 10 pm and very cold out. We took a couple photos and got on the road to return home. Giovani and Katelin were very grateful to have their special ring back after several hours of thinking it was lost forever.
