Wedding Ring recovery at Wrightsville Beach NC

This ring was recovered and returned at Wrightsville Beach NC on 8-25-24.

I received a call yesterday around 10:30am from a gentleman who was at Wrightsville Beach and had lost his ring. He explained he was tossing a ball with others when his ring suddenly fell off and he immediately tried to grab it but a wave came in and took it before he could pick it up. We spoke for awhile and he also explained that he had to catch a flight back to Arizona so he probably wouldn’t be there when I got to the beach but I could give it to his brother who could bring him the ring if I found it. He marked the area very well for me to know where to search and sent me photos of the markers. I drove to the beach and got there around 1:45pm. It was high to when I got there so I knew I would be hunting in the water since he lost it around low to mid tide. Because he marked the area so well I was able to find the area to search with ease. This was a big help. I entered the water and started my search. After about 10 minutes of searching in the water with strong waves I stepped into a trough under the water that was a little above my knees deep. Searching the trough I got a strong solid signal on my metal detector. I used my extreme sandscoop to dig the target and recover the ring. I called him to let him know I found it and sent him pictures of it. He was very happy to hear I found it. I later met with his brother at a rest area along my route home and gave him the ring so he could get it back to his brother. I was very happy to help.
