Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Recovered and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC
This little adventure started Wednesday around 3:30 pm with a text from Kelly saying, “Hello is this Jim Wren? I was just searching online and came across Ring Finders which lead me to your contact. My name is Kerry, a poor soul who lost his dang wedding ring here in North Myrtle Beach. It popped off while throwing a football around in the shallow water where the tide comes in just outside our hotel. Just curious if you might be available Jim? Feel free to respond via text or call. I’m here until Saturday this week. If not, it’s no problem at all. Thanks for your time, man.” I immediately checked the tide tables; low tide was just before 2 pm. I then called Kelly to discuss the circumstances. He said he had lost it about an hour prior to his text and was in thigh to knee deep water. I told him I’d be there in about 15 minutes, grabbed my detector and was on my way.
When I got to the beach, I met Kelly’s brother when he came up to me. He introduced me to Kristen, Kelly’s wife. As we were talking, Kelly came up and showed me the area where they were throwing the ball. Luckily, Kelly is right-handed, so the ring didn’t get thrown off. I was 2 hours behind the tide change, but the ring should be in water no higher than my waist. I started an east/west perpendicular grid search, going low and slow with the detector. I wasn’t picking up any targets at all. As the tide was coming in I was working in deeper and deeper water. I was finally up to my chest when I got a great signal. The signal was what I expected for a man’s yellow gold ring. I was able to get a scoop of sand out, which was empty – no ring. As I find the target again with the detector, I wasn’t paying attention and got hit with a big swell that knocked me backward. From that point, I wasn’t able to find the target again, even though I tried. To get me back in the area on my return, I walked off the steps back to the beach and even with a drainage pipe. Total of 89 steps, give or take with me getting pushed by the current. I wasn’t able to do a good search, so I told Kelly I’d be back the next day, Thursday and called it a day.
I showed up around an hour before low tide so I could get a head start. I met Kelly and Kristen to let them know I was there and went to work. I walked off the 89 steps, plus another 15 or so steps. I’d rather search too much area than not enough. I started my east/west grid and extended my north and south boundary lines. I was getting nothing! The ring should be right there, but I wasn’t finding it. I then started a north/south grid line running parallel to the beach. For me, parallel grids are more difficult because it’s harder to keep a straight grid line. Still with no luck, I took a break to refocus. After my break, I started another east/west grid, tightening my grid lines. I finally hit the target I found the day before and dug it out of the ocean sand. Boom, it was a cap off an orange juice bottle. I had a few choice words and continued. I took another 4-5 steps and got a very iffy signal with the numbers jumping all over the place. I dug the target, shook the wet sand out in the water, and when I looked inside the scoop and there was Kelly’s yellow gold wedding band looking up at me amongst all the shells. I walked up the beach to where Kelly and Kristen had been sitting all day. I was exhausted but made it look worse than it was so Kelly and Kristen would think I was done. I had slipped Kelly’s ring on my index finger and when he was talking and looking away, I held my hand up and when he turned towards me, he saw his ring and froze. I got him! After I gave him his ring, I learned that his and Kristen’s rings were very special and sentimental to them. Both rings were custom made and each of their rings had 3 stones in them that they got from Kelly’s mother and grandmother. Priceless!
Kelly and Kristen – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your very special ring. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, have a safe trip back home to Ohio, and I wish you two only the best in life,
Jim

2 Lost Diamond & Gold Rings, FOUND! Cape May Point, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag

Lost Iphone Returned to Owner In Va Beach!
I was detecting an area after a local concert and dug up an Iphone. An Iphone can be very hard to return if medical contact info or some id is behind the cover but on this one the owner had installed a message as a screen saver that had her phone number on it! I called the number and left a message. I got a very excited call back from the owner who was very relieved to get her phone back!


Private Beach in Brewster, MA – Platinum/Diamond Wedding Band Lost, Found, Returned
June 25, 2025
When you believe you are doing everything correctly, something has to go wrong. Mary Rose found out the hard way at the beginning of her vacation on Cape Cod. It happened on the beach and started with Mary Rose putting her two rings into a plastic bag for safe keeping. Well, safe until she went to put them back on. Instead of two rings on her finger, she had only one. The other, a platinum ring with 8 diamonds, her mother’s wedding band, could not be found in the sand where it fell.
In the hours that followed, her husband made a mad rush to purchase a metal detector. It was the best tool for the job. But with most tools the detector has a learning curve for one to be successful with its use. With a bit more practice and a better sand scoop I believe the ring would have been found. As easy as it looks, it takes many hours of a metals detectors’ use to be able to use it proficiently with the ability to identify a target as good or trash. Then one also needs the correct accessory to retrieve the target.
The family put a few hours into searching and even using kitchen strainer to sift the fine, dry sand. After the hours with no success, an internet search for help ended on TheRingFinders.com website and my contact information. Within three hours I was on the beach and searching. A small area, knowledge of what my detector was telling me, and a beach scoop, the ring was located and pulled from the sand in less than 2 minutes. Another few seconds passed and Mary Rose had the sentimental ring back on her finger and a smile on her face.
Before leaving I spend some time in explaining my equipment and a few suggestions for son, Will, on how to use his new detector to become a more proficient metal detectorists. The most important suggestion was DO NOT to bury his grandmother’s ring in his practice of using a detector.

How to find a lost cross and chain on the beach, North Beach NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring finder

I received a text about a lost cross and chain at the beach in North Beach, LBI. James had posted in one of the local Facebook groups that his son had lost the necklace while playing soccer with friends that afternoon. I immediately suggested he take the post down — it’s never a good idea to advertise the location of lost valuables on public social media.
After some back-and-forth texting, we arranged to meet the next afternoon after I got off work. Fortunately, the area where it was lost was a semi-private beach with limited public access, so I was hopeful it wouldn’t be disturbed overnight. James also mentioned that they had been playing far back toward the dunes, well away from the high tide line, so there was no concern about it being washed away.
When I arrived the next day, I met James’ son at their house. We walked up to the beach, and he described where they had been playing. The area was quite large — which can be tricky — but we talked through it and narrowed down the most likely spots.
About 15 minutes into the search, I got a faint, low signal that matched what I’d expect from a small chain and cross. I carefully scooped the sand, making sure not to damage anything. Once the sand sifted out, there it was — the cross sitting right at the bottom of the scoop.
His son had been looking at his phone and didn’t realize I’d found it, so I took the opportunity to have a little fun. I casually asked him if he was sure this was the right area. He confidently said yes — and then I told him to look in the scoop. The look on his face was priceless.
It’s always a great moment when someone gets their sentimental item back — and even better when they can pinpoint the location so accurately. Beaches can be huge and all too easy to lose track of the exact spot once the crowds clear.
