Brian Flick, Author at The Ring Finders

Scott visiting Coronado from Kentucky realized after putting sunscreen on that his wedding band had fallen off.  The search area was 12 x 12′ with a beach blanket, recliner, and umbrella.  After getting two strong hits at 2 and pulling up a couple of pieces of aluminum foil a strong signal emerged jumping between 68 and 76. The location was right along the edge of the blanket.  In the 3rd scoop of sand the wedding band was found.  It was 10″ below the surface of the sand–a reminder of how quickly a high density object can sink in dry sand even with minimal disturbance.  Scott in his wisdom knew that it would be futile to dig through the sand without proper equipment.  I appreciate the trust he placed in me to locate his treasured ring.

 

A beautiful evening at Coronado Beach near lifeguard station 5C became a bit more exciting when a pretty young lady, Priscilla, entreated me to help her find a sentimental gold cross with diamonds that fell off her neck while running between the surfline and her blanket.  After centering on the most likely area and running a concentric, expanding search pattern, the pendant was located under 3″ of loose sand 15 yards from start point and within 4 minutes. It rang a strong 7 VID on my Equinox 900; unfortunately, the fine necklace it hung on was not located.  Her smile and joy were reward enough.  It was serendipity that I was in the right place at the right time.
