Lost – Men’s Gold Wedding Band w/diamonds, PALM COAST, FL – FOUND!!!
Tom had been in his backyard and lost his gold wedding band. He thought he knew the exact area or at least within 6 or 8 feet. It is about a 45-minute drive from my home. Since it was so late in the day, and it was safe in his backyard, we decided that I would drive up the next morning.
On the drive up on Saturday, I talked with God about the ring and what it meant to Tom and his wife. Tom told me he had the ring for 35 years and didn’t really want to lose it now. I asked for His help.
I arrived at Tom’s home, and he took me to the back. The thick Saint Augustine grass was beautiful. I fired up the Minelab Manticore and got a hit immediately…it was a sprinkler head.
My second target was better. Digging around with my fingers revealed nothing. I got out my Minelab Pro-find (which is something like the wands they use in airports) and got a hit. I saw the gold and diamonds shining nearly six inches below tangled in the roots of the grass! Beautiful! Tom and his ring were reunited.

Its a beautiful afternoon in one of New Jerseys finest beach towns, Seaside Park. The oceans were calm, winds light and variable, which made for a perfect day of shell collecting. Dylan and his daughter set out to do just that. Unfortunately all the absolutely beautiful shells they had gathered together, just couldn’t make up for what had just happened. They were down at the very bottom of the tide line, by the drop off, picking up just one last shell, when Dylan decided to rinse off his hands and call it a day. At that very moment he watched his ring slip off his finger, and drop into the sand, just as a wave was rolling in. Even thought the ocean was as calm as we will experience here, Dylan had absolutely no luck over the next two days locating his beautiful wedding ring. When he called me and told me it had already been two days, and that it was just about dead low tide where his ring slipped off, I didn’t have a good feeling about the recovery, at that moment. What he did have in his favor was the fact that it had been dead calm, and was going to continue that way for the next few days. I told Dylan I would be on the beach for the next low tide which was day 3 of his ring being lost on the bottom of the ocean. I was out at 4 AM scouring every inch of the location he had marked with his phone in google maps, with not even one signal. Unfortunately I had prior obligations the next 2 days and would not be able to return until the following morning low tide. It was 5 AM or so, and here I am wondering around in the ocean again, but this time in about thigh deep water my machine sounds off a perfect low tone that you can tell almost in an instant was Dylan’s ring. I missed it in the first scoop, then BINGO !!!! I had his ring after 6 full days in the ocean. Believe me friends, this situation almost never exists in the state of NJ, but luckily for him it did that week. I messaged him asking for a detailed description, because all we had mentioned was white gold in our other conversations. I was pretty positive this was his ring, and the pictures confirmed that. I texted him pics and he was in total shock. We agreed to meet a few hours later for the monumental return.
