Clam Digging Results With Wedding Set Lost in the Mud – Found Days Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Cape Carteret, NC

Brenda called Crystal Coast Ring Finders for help trying to locate her missing 3 piece wedding set.  Brenda was out trying to find clams in the very shallow waters of the Bogue Sound.  It wasn’t until the next morning she realized her wedding set was missing.  I asked her many questions about what she did after being in the water and it was determined the rings were more likely lost in or near the muddy area she searched for clams.  The day I met the couple (married 55 years!) the weather was less than favorable with strong winds keeping the tide higher than normal and white cap waves at times.  After a few passes, I informed them this was not ideal conditions and I would return soon to try again.  On the second attempt, I tried to take advantage of the negative low tide that day and get out as far as she informed me she hunted on that sad day. As I expected, I found many items of garbage but no rings.  The third day I returned and after checking my tracking software realized there was still an area that needed more attention.  After a while I finally came across a very solid signal and was hoping it wasn’t garbage.  I brought my scoop up out of the mud and after clearing the debris, I noticed that spectacular shine of gold!  I marked the location of the first ring and about 3 foot away I found a very similar signal.  It was Brenda’s engagement ring.  Once again, I marked the area in the water with a pole and seared again.  Once again at around 3 feet further was the last ring!  It was apparent to me she lost the rings throwing something.  Brenda explained she was digging with her right hand if she found an empty shell, she would toss it into an area she already hunted.

Brenda informed me her friends were very doubtful any of the rings would be found and even encouraged her to file an insurance claim on the lost rings.  When I informed Brenda (who had returned to Pennsylvania) I have found all 3 rings, she told me she filed a claim the previous day and would now call them back to cancel the claim and save her the deductible amount.  Brenda and her husband Floyd for 55 years returned back to North Carolina a few weeks later and I was very happy to return the rings to her in person and I really enjoyed visiting them.

Don’t throw it!

Contact:

I was contacted a short while back by an upset husband who unfortunately had a kind of disagreement with his wife.

Sadly the beautiful diamond wedding ring was drawn into this disagreement, was sent airborne into some very thick bushes of their back garden.

This was a challenging search, due to the thick vegetation about, but thankfully I had remembered my trusty secateurs to help clear the worst bits.

But after probably two hours of searching, and some interesting old die cast model cars etc, a lovey clean ‘lost, but found ring tone’ was emitted from my detector.

I think all three of them were very happy to be reunited once again.

Lost ring recovered from dog walk

Contact:

I had a call the other day from a lady who had lost her grandmothers wedding ring. Her grandmother was married in 1950, so this was a very special ring.

We met on her dog walk, which was a wooded track with lots of undergrowth each side. the walk was probably quarter of a mile, so quite a search. The track was surprisingly not too trashy, but as with most ring searches, they are normally on the surface, so a detuned detector was necessary.

After nearly two hours of searching, we were nearing the end of the track, and we were both beginning to feel the hope of finding the ring was fading. But then, a beautiful clear tone was delivered! A quick brush aside with my foot of some leaf litter, and there it was, a very nice gold ring smiling at me.

Another very happy and emotional owner of a very special lost ring now recovered.

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Jessica found me in the Ring Finders Directory after losing her beautiful diamond engagement ring while doing some minor landscaping in her front yard. She was in her yard in Fairless Hills, PA and while wiping her hands on her pants she felt her ring slip off and fall into the deep grass. After searching for quite a while she decided to reach out to a professional and I went to search the next day. 10 minutes into scanning her front yard with my top of the line detector I received the signal I was hoping for…I bent down and parted the grass and there was her beautiful ring! I was very happy to be able to return Jessica’s ring to her!

Lost 18K Gold and Diamonds Earring at Naia Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Earring hunt began on 26 June when I got a text from Nicole who was on vacation from Laguna Hills, California stating, « I lost a pair of gold earrings on the west side of the island in the Ko Olina lagoon ».  I responded I was flying home from San Diego and could hunt early the next morning.  Kai who covers for me while I’m away also got the word and started a search immediately.  The search area was huge and Kai was unsuccessful.  I was also unsuccessful the next morning during the low tide.  Then on 8 September during another hunt in Naia Lagoon I got a whisper of a hit and after a few scoops there was Nicole’s Earring in the scoop.  As you can see in the pic its back home with her in California.  I will do my best to sniff out the other one.  Aloha to Nicole!

14K Ring Found At Oval Beach, Saugatuck, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:
Received a text from Jordan from Indiana stating he lost his wedding ring last Saturday near buoys 11 and 12 which are close together.  He was playing catch with a football and said he threw the football toward the shore while he was in the water and thinks that is when his ring flew off.  He is back home in Indiana and found me on the internet.
I went out there on Wednesday and searched the whole beach area and waters edge with no luck.  The waves were HUGE and no way you could stand and search in the water.
Today is Thursday and the forecast is for 2 mph winds from the east and when I arrived the lake was almost like glass.
I called Jordan and he gave me more info on what he was doing at the beach.  He had also gone out further in the water to the right side of those buoys and no deeper than about 4 ft.
I set up a grid to the right of those buoys and about 9 paces to the right of buoy 11 I hit the sweet sound of gold in about chest deep water.  It seems the ring is never in the place you think it should be.  I sent Jordan a picture of the ring and asked him if this looked familiar-his comment was, « you are unbelievable ».    He is sending me a picture of he and his bride of 3 years​ to add to this post later.     PS  The ring is 14K with an inlay of black zirconium.

The Blue Swing….

Is Austin’s daughter’s favorite swing, and when she’s in it and dad is pushing her the sky’s the limit. About 2 weeks ago as a major storm pushed thru south-east Michigan, as they were playing on the swing… they suddenly had to take cover. After the storm had passed Austin noticed his ring missing. With the high winds and pounding rain he had no idea where it went. Searching for it was like swinging into the wind. Things were in full swing as I started a grid search near the swing and quite a few feet away, I got a great signal. Digging down thru the sand in the play area revealed Austin’s ring! He was not home yet so I texted him a pic of the ring and he couldn’t believe it. His wife came out to greet me and take some pics. Now that’s what I call getting back into the swing of things!

Sea Isle City, NJ Lost Phone Recovered From 4 Inches Under the Sand

 

A phone can disappear incredibly fast on a sandy beach.

 

One minute it is in your hand, pocket, or next to your beach chair. The next minute, it can be buried beneath the sand and nearly impossible to see.

 

That was the situation Caitlin faced during a beach day in Sea Isle City, New Jersey.

 

A Beach Search Comes Up Empty

 

Caitlin and her friends realized that her phone was missing and began searching the beach themselves.

 

They looked around the area but couldn’t find it.

 

Searching for a small electronic device in loose beach sand can be challenging. Once an item gets covered with even a few inches of sand, it may be completely hidden from view.

 

While they were trying to figure out what to do next, another beachgoer recommended John at Ring Finders South Jersey.

 

That recommendation ended up saving the day.

 

John Arrives in Sea Isle City

 

Caitlin contacted me, and I made the trip to the beach.

 

I arrived approximately 20 minutes after being contacted.

 

After getting the details about where Caitlin believed the phone had been lost, I began working the area with a systematic grid search.

 

The goal was simple: methodically cover the suspected area rather than repeatedly searching the same spots.

 

It didn’t take long.

 

I received a signal from beneath the sand and started checking the target.

 

Then came the good news.

 

The phone was approximately four inches beneath the sand.

 

The search was successful, and Caitlin’s phone was recovered.

 

Why Calling Quickly Can Help

 

Beach conditions are constantly changing. People walk across the sand, beach chairs move, wind shifts loose sand, and tides can alter the area near the water.

 

That’s why I recommend contacting a professional lost-item recovery service as soon as you realize something is missing.

 

Whether you’ve lost a cell phone, wedding ring, engagement ring, jewelry, watch, keys, or another valuable item, don’t assume it’s gone forever.

 

A systematic search with professional metal detecting equipment may be able to locate it.

If you lose something valuable on the beach, don’t give up and don’t wait.

Fun Family Day at the Beach also Has Lost Wedding Band. Found the Next Morning

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Anthony and his family spent a fun-filled day on Emerald Isle beach, where he tucked his gold wedding band into the pocket of a beach chair. After enjoying the sun and sand, they packed up their belongings and returned to their lodging. Later, when they discovered the ring was missing, Anthony reached out to Crystal Coast Ring Finders. The next morning, I set out to search for it. With his clear description of where the kids had played and the chairs had been set up, I powered on my gear and began scanning the area. Luckily, I headed straight to the spot where the ring was buried just beneath the sandy surface.
