Ring lost at Ocean Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Lorena was visiting town and enjoying Ocean Beach with some friends and placed her ring in the cup holder of her chair. Time to leave, the chair got folded up, and the ring ended up in the dry sand. A common way rings get lost. Searching was fruitless and Lorena had to go back home up north. She contacted me to ask for my help in finding it. She had planned on returning the next morning to show me the search area, but, having already been a full day on the loose, I had her give me directions as to where she was when the ring fell into the sand. She did better than that. She had some photos that were taken while she was there in that location. Knowing that beach well, I could find that spot fairly easily. Finding the ring might be another thing! I waited until the sun went down so I could actually find a parking spot on a Saturday night. Not easy, but, I lucked into one. The beach was still mobbed with party goers. I made a beeline west toward the water and straight through the middle of search area. Before I got there, I see another guy detecting right through where I planned to search. He didn’t stop for any targets, so, i began my grid. Off to the right was a large group still camped on the beach, so, I started on the left. Made a dozen passes or so without so much as a pull tab. Not a good sign. Somebody (maybe the guy who I first saw) had already scoured the area? At that point, the crowd on the right was picking up and leaving. Great, I can now search the other side before I try to track down the other detectorist to see if he may have found the ring. Still not much in the way of targets until I made 5-6 passes and got a solid 6 on my Equinox. That’s usually a foil drink seal, but, I scooped it anyway as small gold can read in that range. Sure enough, a drink seal. Drat! Moved another 2 feet and got another solid 6 reading. Another juice seal I bet, was what I was thinking, but, after scooping it up, I discovered her ring! As I surveyed the spot I found it, I realized that the other detectorist had missed it by no more than a couple of feet! I texted Lorena that she would have to come back down to San Diego after all, but, instead of having to show me where the search area would be, she could pick up her ring. A pleasure to meet you and Pierre, and thank you for the reward.

Ring lost at Mission Beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Pete and his wife were escaping the heat inland and decided to go to south Mission Beach. Pete took his wedding ring off before going out in the surf, and gave it to his wife to hold. It was a bit big for her fingers, but, that’s where she held it. By the time Pete came back, his wife wasn’t feeling too good, and in their haste to pack up and leave, the ring came off and into the dry sand. After Pete did a Google search to get help, he came across one of my posts and texted me.  Being a Saturday afternoon, parking was going to be impossible, so, I had an early dinner and hoped the crowds would lighten up a bit so I could actually get to the beach.

I texted Pete back when I got to the beach and found he was already there waiting. He showed me the search area, and I started at what he thought was ground zero, and spiraled out from there. Naturally, since he had been there earlier in the day, the tide was at a different level, people had come and gone, so, figuring out exactly where they had been camped wasn’t a sure thing. After quite a bit of the supposed search area was covered, I was beginning to wonder if someone had already found it. I was finding a few other targets with similar target I.D.’s so I was still hopeful that it was still there somewhere. At the end of one of my passes, I was dodging around where some people were sitting and hit an area a bit out of the initial search area. It was an area where I was going to expand into next. I could see that people had been there recently by the disturbed sand. Sure enough, I got a nice solid 15 on my Equinox and found Pete’s ring. A happy Pete can now go home and make his wife feel a bit better. Nice to meet you Pete and thank you for the reward.

Metal Detector finds lost engagement ring Carlsbad Ca

  • from Carlsbad (California, United States)
Contact:

 

The Ring Finders Metal Detecting Service helped find a Lost Gold engagement ring in the dry sand at Carlsbad beach. OPEN NOW; CALL 760 889 2751.

 

On July 16th. I woke up from a text regarding a Lost ring at Carlsbad beach with the location and immediately was on my way. When I arrived at 6:20am I previously had texted Hannah back asking if she could meet me there to finer tune in the area this ring could of disappeared into the dry fluffy sand. I spent some time searching the approximate location until she called then came down the stair case minutes later.I asked her some questions to better help recovering the lost ring when Hannah told me she doesn’t know what the ring looks like or the exact area because it was lost just before the proposal! ….Uh Oh!

This scenario has actually happened numerous times to so many people believe it or not. I did search the heck out of the small 20’ X 40’ Zone crossing my grid pattern 2 times with no avail. Fortunately the Groom to be,Scott also arrived later so I asked him a few more Q’s & concerns when he eventually did say he felt the ring drop into the sand!
This helped me circumvent this situation much better especially after it was lost at night.It’s difficult to remember landmarks or the precise spot in the dark for us all which meant I needed to expand the area thoroughly.
So I expanded my search further south then further North beyond the embrasured area when I suddenly got a Signal and noticed what appears to be just another pull tab buried.So I dug it up anyways while Seeing the glimmer of a Gold Diamond ring that would make anyone smile:) 💍
Scott was relieved but in distraught about the hole ordeal although he must know how he’s very lucky to have met a beautiful gal in his life to Marry and call it quits forever and ever… This is one “Bucket list” thing I have never found after metal detecting for 12 years while saving marriages for over 5 years. I sure have come across plenty of Nightmares but no dream has ever come true for me.!

Best wishes to Hannah & Scott from Ohio.
