Hey all!

While I was visiting California we stopped at at beach for the day. While there a man lost a very nice gold necklace with a pendent on it. I tried to find it for him but the tide was coming in and I could not come up with it. I did get a good signal in the area he lost it but I was completely wiped out by a wave and could not come up with it again after that.

It was lost on Tamarack State Beach Jetty about 75 yards north of the Jetty. I have been trying to ad a picture of the area to search but it's not letting me do it. PM me if interested and I'll try to get you more information.

Sadly, I did not get the guys name or contact information before I left so a return might not be possible?

And a quick look at San Diego area Craigslist L&F shows no one has listed such a necklace lost, and any such location you describe. So it appears the guy didn't do a lost-listing there. Thus you're probably right : Gonna be impossible to find the guy.

But with your info, someone down there in that Oceanside/vista area should git their b*tt over there , and find themselves a nice gold necklace. Pretty durned good coordinates .

Assuming the fellow was correct, and knows for sure that's where it went missing. Sometimes people just assume that's where they lost something, simply because that's when/where they became aware that it was missing. Other times, yes, it's a slam-dunk because the person felt it come off in the roiling surf, or knows exactly where they set it down @ the zone of their picnic blanket area, etc....

In this case he had only lost it about 15 minutes before I talked to him. He got smashed by a big wave and it rolled him up the beach and it came off during the ordeal.

Ok guys , here you go ! I PMd Cory within 15 minutes of his post. Got a reply at 3pm , but didn't see it till 5pm. All he said was Good Luck. Lol. Anyways , I had planned on this beach last week as I know this location like the back of my hand. I was on the beach at 11AM. The whole time there was not 1 other hunter. 1st off , the beach talent was incredible. Could have been a Sports Illustrated photo shoot. I found 2 chains. 1 is a monster 40 grams. The other is a junker that was about 10' away. Lower slope , targets sink fast and were both about 12" down. Scanned the junker hole and there was another solid target. But I lost it. Pounding surf , sinking faster than I could dig. Possibly a ring or pendant , idk. Good thing my keys and phone were zip locked as I was drenched to my chest. It was miserably hot out. Ended up covering 2 miles of beach. But got so crowded I couldn't swing anymore and still be productive. It was a great hunt. I have not seen a pic of the lost chain/pendant. Nor will I be posting any other additional info either.....GL out there !

Sorry if this is a redundant question but what detector do you use? I'm going to be upgrading from my Whites MXT some time in the next few months and being capable of finding a chain 12" down in salty wet sand... noice!
