  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)

I got a text on Saturday night from Greg about a heavy gold ring that he lost in the surf earlier that day at Venice Beach. We arranged to meet at Venice Beach at 10am the next day , so I could have time to search for the ring during low tide. When I arrived that morning the parking was already starting fill up. I met up with Greg and we walked out together so he could introduce me to his family and showed me location of the loss. He and his wife tried to explain the location in relationship to the life guard tower and other features on the beach. I was a little nervous, when I saw the area seem to be about 50 yards long , but we narrowed it down a little and I began my grid search working my way down the slope  and into the ocean . It was very quite, with very few signals, but after about a  half an hour just below calf deep, I got a soft but repeatable signal, dug down about a foot, two scoops and there was  Greg’s ring staring up at me. There were cheers, and high fives . Greg was ecstatic to have his grandfather’s   ring  back on his finger. They even have the same initials which was on the ring. I felt blessed  to be able to help such a nice family. It made a long drive home much more pleasant.

LOST GOLD & DIAMOND RING FOUND & RETURNED AT HUNTINGTON BEACH

  • from Santa Monica (California, United States)
Contact:

I got a text Sunday morning from Bill who told me he lost his gold and diamond wedding ring in the ocean on Saturday afternoon at Huntington Beach . I called him right away to get the details. He was visiting from New Jersey he was in the ocean with his wife about waist deep, when a wave knocked her off balance when she grabbed for his hand to avoid falling, his ring slipped off his finger and into the surf, another wave came along and covered up the ring which prevented him from retrieving it. After the whole family searched for the ring with no luck. He texted me. We arranged to meet at 6 am on Monday morning at low tide, with the best chances of finding the ring. I got up at 3 am, so I could get ready and leave early to beat the morning rush hour traffic. I arrived before 5 am. It was still dark out, but I walked onto the beach to the spot Bill had described and began my grid search. I hunted for almost 2 hours with no luck. I walked back to my car to grab my phone and touched base with Bill. He was only 20 minutes away, I waited in the parking lot till he arrived, when Bill and his wife met me in the parking lot, we walked out to the beach together, so they could narrow down the location of the loss. In less than 25 minutes, I got a good signal and dug 3 scoops and there was Bill’s sparkly gold ring. They were ecstatic to have the ring back with lots of emotion and hugs. They never thought they would see his ring again, but they entrusted me with the task. I was happy to come through for them. They were such incredibly nice people. I was happy to be able to reunite them with their sentimental wedding ring. They were so nice, they took me for a delicious breakfast before my long drive home.
