*** Dave’s friend from Australia was visiting him in San Clemente at Riviera Beach. At the end of the day he realized his white gold wedding band was missing. He wasn’t sure if the loss happened at the beach, but he discovered it missing 20 minutes after leaving the beach.

The next day I responded to Dave’s call for help. He showed me a large area where they had been the day before. He had to leave to his work, I would not need any more directions. The beach only had three people on the towel line, so I cleared the major part of the towel line before more beach goers sat on the potential area of the loss. After that I concentrated on the rest of the sand leading off the beach.

After about 1-1/2 hours, I had cleared all the area except where the three people were sitting. Then I saw them pack up to leave the beach. A couple minutes later I had the missing ring in my sand scoop. The only people on the beach that morning were sitting on the lost ring.

Next thing I did was call Dave so we could arrange to meet near his work place to return the ring. Dave would surprise his friend when he returns from a side trip to the east coast.

***** Janet and Paul were attending a family reunion at a beach front home near San Clemente, CA.  A beautiful home right on the sand with a couple dozen family members present when Janet lost her gold diamond wedding ring in the sand. 

The evening before calling me most every body set up their beach chairs in the sand only 20 ft. in front of the beach house. Janet put her two rings in the pocket of the beach chair. Then after moving back into the house she could only find the engagement ring in the chair pocket. The wedding ring had to be in the sand only a few  feet in front of the patio.  That night and the next morning many of the group tried their hand at finding her ring while everyone sat on the patio watching the search.

After almost a day after searching without finding the ring. Someone in the group found my contact information while trying to rent a metal detector. I was able to meet Paul shortly after he called me. Walking through the house I seemed to have a big audience of family who were curious to see if I could find the ring. After they had all tried, using fingers, rakes and sifting methodically with a sand crab sifting tool.

Setting up the detector to eliminate some of the electrical interference from the building, I began my 20ft. square grid search. The ring showed up on my second pass just as I was telling my onlookers not to get excited when I dig a target because I remove all metallic items as I search.

Everybody cheered and smiled as I held up the ring for Janet. Not all searches go this well. Metal detectors work real good for finding a ring if the ring is there. The right tool for the right job. Finger dragging, rakes and sand crab sifters are not very effective for finding and important irreplaceable sentimental piece of jewelry like a wedding ring. 

It still doesn’t bother me to search for hours to eliminate an area that may ring may be hiding. It’s all part of searching. Eliminate one area so you can go to the next possible hiding place. We post our successful finds but many people don’t realize that our unsuccessful searches lead into hour and hours of searching. It sometimes gets boring and discouraging. I still learn with every search and get more experience with each hunt, that’s rewarding.
