Man’s Tungsten Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach, SC

This afternoon, while browsing the North Myrtle Beach FB page, I saw a couple of notifications referring someone to contact me. Looking at the original post it read in part – “Anyone have a metal detector and a few minutes. A young man lost his wedding ring in the sand.” There wasn’t a way for me to comment, so I just had to wait for a possible text. Within a couple of minutes, the following text popped up in my Business Suite, “Hi there! I’m looking for some assistance in finding a ring that my husband lost about an hour ago on North Myrtle Beach! How might I go about getting some assistance? Any leads would be so greatly appreciated?” I texted her back with my phone number asking her to call me, which she did. I got additional details, including her name, Skylar and the address and was on my way.

When I arrived at the Villas, Skylar was waiting in the parking lot and walked me out to the beach. The story was that her husband had taken his ring off and stuck in the cup holder of the chair. As has happened so many times in the past, everything is good until the family packs up to leave. Then it becomes one of the “UH, OH” moments and the ring is buried in the sand. Skylar had marked off the area with a big circle in the sand where they had been sitting.  I turned on the Equinox 800, told Skylar it’ll take about 2 minutes and started a grid search. Well, in less than 30 seconds I got a booming signal, dug a scoop of sand and saw the ring fall out of the scoop as I pulled up the sand. Skylar was extremely happy!!

Skylar – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!
