Man’s White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach, SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Shortly after 9:30 a.m., I received a call from an Alabama phone number. Sam was on the other end and asked if I could help him find his wedding band. He said he was brushing the sand off of his hands and felt his ring come off. He said he saw it land in the dry sand and disappear. He also said that he tried looking for it but couldn’t find it. I was getting a wheel bearing replaced at the time and told him as soon as it’s done, I’d be on my way. I also suggested that he quit digging because he’d either bury it more or possibly move it. I called him back within 30 minutes and told him I was on my way and to send me the address, which he did.

When I arrived at the hotel and parked, Sam met me as I walked off the elevator. He walked me out to the beach and showed me the maybe 5×5 ft area. These are the type of searches we hope for. He told me the ring was a white gold wedding band. So, I knew I was looking for a low teen number on the Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I turned the machine on, took one swing and hit a solid shallow signal showing a 14 on the VDI, Boom!!!! Because I was moving the target with the scoop, trying to take shallow scoops, it took me 3 scoops to get the ring out of the sand. But I got it! Handed the ring back to Sam, who quickly put it back on his finger where it belonged.

Sam – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip back home.

Memorial Day Lost Ring – FOUND!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I made some new friends today while helping Grant find his wedding band in the Gulf. He and his wife, Kelly, were staying in Perdido when Grant’s ring slipped off while floating in the waves yesterday afternoon. By the time he realized it was gone, he knew it was about waist deep, but that was about it. This morning, I joined Grant in the water, and he showed me roughly where he thought it might be.

A few hours in, I started getting concerned. I had thoroughly searched the area but decided to push a little deeper, just in case the tide had moved it. I ventured out as far as my shoulders, and on the very first pass, I got the unmistakable tone of gold. I scooped it up on the first try. When I came in, the crowd that had been watching gave me a round of applause, and Grant gave me a big hug. What a special moment—definitely one of the best returns I’ve ever had.

Yellow Gold Engagement Ring Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned Murrells Inlet SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

This recovery started with a text message saying, “Good afternoon, Jim, are you still in the business of searching for rings? We are visiting from Ohio and may need your services.” I called the number attached to the text message and spoke with Kevin. He told me that the ring had been lost about 10:30 a.m., which was right at mid tide. When I asked how deep, I heard a young lady in the background say ankle deep. Timing was perfect because it was now about 2 p.m. and the tide had turned, and it was now low tide. I told him I could be there in an hour, he agreed, and I was out the door.

When I arrived, I met Caroline, who had lost her yellow gold engagement ring. Caroline, her mother, Beth, Caroline’s fiancé and I walked out to the beach. They pointed out where they had been sitting and then Caroline showed me the area she had been. The story was that she was throwing a football with her right hand and shortly thereafter looked at her left hand and the ring was gone. I started an east/west grid search, perpendicular to the ocean. Knowing the ring was yellow gold, and looking at the size of it, I knew I was looking for a VDI (visual display indicator) of mid-teens on the screen. About my 3rd grid line, I got a great signal and a solid 16 VDI. I glanced up at Caroline and gave her a smile, positive I had found her ring. I was surprised trying to scoop her ring out of the hole, in just a little over 4 hours the ring was about 6 inches deep. When I got it out of the hole and found it in the sand, I held it up so Caroline could see it. She had her hands over her mouth, but she was very happy and relieved to get her treasure back where it belongs. On the way back from the beach, as we crossed the street to the house, the other 17 members staying in the house (family, I assumed) were cheering. One gentleman jokingly said that I would be the dedicated ring bearer at Caroline’s wedding in Cincinnati, Oh in Aug.

Caroline – I’m so happy I could help find your lost treasure and get it back where it belongs. I wish you all the best in life.

Conner was taking a short cut home one rainy dark night. This was one of the steepest hills I’ve done a recovery on. He lost his footing, slipped and fell. When he regained himself he noticed his finger felt naked. Yep his platinum wedding ring of 1 year was missing. He figured it just went missing when he fell but he wasn’t 💯 sure. They searched for days and even rented a metal detector. He then turned to the internet where he found the ring finders site. He showed me the area and the rest is history. The video shows just how extreme the area was. It was my honor to recover such a sentimental item for him.

Found Ring at Newton Athletic Park

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Metal Detecting service- Lost your ring or any jewelry, car keys, cell phone? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service Chris Turner 778-838-3463.

I received a call the other day in regards to a Lost Ring at a park in Newton,  after asking a few questions and being told the  search area wasn’t that big I decided to hit the park first before my beach search as I figured this would be a quicker recovery and I can focus more time on the beach.

When I got there, the young lady showed me the area where she believed the ring was lost and what she thought wasn’t that big of an area turned out to be a big area… I guess what people don’t realize is miss it by an inch miss it by a mile I have to lock down and provide a north south east west grid search in order to eliminate the search area and hopefully find what I’m looking for.

Let’s not forget the questions are so important in order to get you as close to where it was lost and save time, there was four potential search areas. One in the middle wasn’t bad. The two on the sides were tougher and after asking a few more questions we realize there was another area that needed to be searched and as Murphy’s Law would have it that’s where I found it four hours later in the last search area… sometimes it could take minutes to find what you’re looking for other times it can take hours or even longer… the smile makes it worth it

I love my job!!

Finding a Small Gold Wedding Band at Rosie’s Dog Beach, Belmont Shores, CA.

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

** Mathew was at Rosie’s Dog Beach, Belmont Shores, California with his friends. His friend’s wife lost a small plain gold wedding band near where they were sitting. She didn’t feel it come off, but they had not left the area before noticing the ring missing from her finger.

After exhaustive searching with their hands, Mathew contacted me asking for help. I met them soon after the call and was able to find the small ring for them. It was a bit difficult as I missed it on the first north / south grid of 50’x50’. It showed up on the east/west grid. They were about to give up when it didn’t show up on the first grid. It was a happy moment for all and I really like it when friends can do favors by searching the internet for a ringfinder.

White Gold Wedding Band and Engagement Ring, Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned in Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

A little after 6:30 p.m., I received a text from Maryline that said, “Hello, I found your contact on the internet to help find lost rings. Lost mine today on Myrtle Beach. I’m wondering if you could please help out.” I asked her to call me so I could get the details. When she called, I learned she had lost her rings in the soft sand, and she could put me in the general area. I asked her to text me the address and was on my way.

On the way there, I got another text from her saying, “We are checking some pictures we took, and it seems like it could have fallen on the wet sand or the sea.” Uh-oh, I’m thinking we may have a problem if the rings were lost in the water. We were just coming off of high tide; so I might not be able to reach them. I called her to verify the time. She said one of the pictures showing the rings, while holding her baby in the surf, was about 4:30. Ok, that was about an hour before high tide. So, things were looking good again, the tide had turned, and it was getting close to an hour after high tide.

I met Maryline in the parking lot of the resort and we walked a couple of blocks to the beach. She walked me out on the beach and showed me where they had been sitting. She then took me down towards the water and showed me the general area where she was sitting with her baby. I started a north/south grid line about ankle deep with plans to work up the slope towards the dry sand. My thought was that if she was sitting in the surf and had put her hands in the wet sand, her rings would come right off her finger. I was probably three quarters of the way up the slope and hit a solid 6 on the VDI (visual display indicator), which is exactly what I was expecting for a white gold ring. A couple of inches away I was picking up an 8 on the VDI, again what I’d expect for a little bigger white gold ring. I took a scoop of wet sand and dumped it on the beach. I immediately saw her small wedding band. Boom!! I held it up and Maryline came running, jumping and screaming to get her ring. Now to get the engagement ring out of its hiding place in the sand. Unfortunately, the waves were filling up the hole with water and sand, burying the engagement ring. Suddenly, I wasn’t picking up the engagement ring on the detector. I think the ring got turned on its side and my detection area was now very small. So basically, I was digging blind and pulling up big scoops of sand. I finally pulled up a scoop and before I could run the detector over it, Maryline’s brother-in-law, TD saw it and reached down in the ball of sand and pulled it out. Maryline started jumping up and down and she got so excited that another couple came to see what was going on. Finding people’s lost items and handing it back to them never gets old.

TD – Thanks for your help!

Maryline – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasures.

Jim
