Wedding Ring Lost In The Surf Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

It was the beginning of a family vacation at Emerald Isle, North Carolina.  Adam was throwing a football in the shallow waters.  When he was done, he noticed his wedding ring was no longer on his finger.  His mother-in-law remembered reading a story about a Ring Finder in Florida and began an online search that brought up The Ring Finders directory.  She messaged me and I gathered my gear to head their way.

Adam wasn’t sure exactly when or where it happened.  He did know the boundaries of where he was in the water.  The tide was coming back in and I knew I had to work somewhat quickly.  Water searches are extremely slow because of trying to move the detector coil through the water and wave currents.  I think they may have started to have doubts of  his ring being found the same day.  My second target barked out a 13 on the Minelab Equinox 800 and it actually made me smile.  In one scoop I had Adam’s ring.

Now their vacation can resume normally and I hope they have the best one ever!

Clemson University Class Ring Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

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

On Saturday, June 1st, I was enroute to another ring search; when Angela called and left me a voice mail. In the voice mail she said that it was recommended on a FB page that she call me for lost rings. She said that her daughter, Riley had lost her Clemson Class ring that she had received in April on Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina, in the ocean. Angela gave me Riley’s phone number. After we hung up, I called Riley and told her I had another search and I’d be there as soon as I could.

I called Riley back after a successful recovery and told her I was on my way. I arrived about 20 minutes later and met Riley on the beach. Riley explained that she and some of her friends were out about 2 am enjoying the late evening and the ocean. She continued saying that they had been sitting in the ocean leaning back on their arms, with her hands in the sand and letting the waves roll over them. At some point she felt her Clemson ring slip off her finger into the sand. She immediately called her dad, which was at about 1:40 am. A quick check of the tide tables on ‘Willy Weather’ showed high tide was at 3:18 am. So basically, this happened about 2 ½ hours before high tide. I arrived at Ocean Isle, roughly at 3:30 pm, which was right at the high tide time. Not only was I there at the wrong time but the sea breeze had kicked up the waves, to the point I couldn’t get in the water. I asked Riley to point out the approximate area they were in and she stated they came straight down the beach from the beach access blue mat. I figured I’d clear the top of the beach and down the slope on both sides of the center line. Every once in a while, I’d try to slip in the ocean, but that was a lost cause! After close to 3 hours, and no change in the sea conditions, I called Riley and told her I was calling it for the night.  I told her I’d be back the next day at low tide and resume the search.

Today, June 2nd, I showed up around 8 am, 2 hours before low tide and started an east/west grid search perpendicular to the tide line. I started about 40 yards north of the center line and worked south. I had my Nox 800 detector and knowing that a women’s yellow gold ring will show up between 13-15 VDI (visual display indicator) depending on the size and width of the ring. Unfortunately pull tabs show up with the same numbers and if there’s anything on the beach that’s plentiful, its pull tabs! After about 2 plus hours I had detected about 90 yards on the beach and getting out in the water to about thigh deep. With the circumstances of the ring being lost, I knew the ring was there – somewhere. Gold is a heavy metal, so when it comes off in the ocean, it pretty much settles where it falls. In this case the ring was already y buried in the sand, so it would just sit there working itself deeper with water and sand going over the top of it. Also, knowing when it was lost, I knew the ring would be at the bottom of the slope at low tide. I felt I was definitely out of the search area when I got a solid 15. Is this just another bent up pull tab. I dug a scope of sand and dumped it on the beach. Ran the coil over the pile and I had the target out of the hole. I spread the sand out with my foot and scoured the sand. BOOM!!!  There in the sand staring up at me was Riley’s Clemson Ring. I washed the sand off the ring and took a picture. I sent the picture to both Riley and Angela and then called Riley – no answer. I called Angela – no answer. A short time later Angela replied by text saying, “That’s it!!!!” A few minutes later Riley called. Evidently Angela tried calling Riley with no luck, so she called one of the friends with Riley and told her to wake Riley up and that Jim found her ring. Riley said they were on the way. When Riley got to the beach, she sprinted from the access to where I was. She gave me a big hug and I could tell she was very appreciative. I love returning lost items to their owners!!

Angela – Thank you for calling me to help find Riley’s Ring.

Riley – So happy I was able to find and return your special treasure. I wish you all the best in life.

Jim

     

Engagement ring found in park in Grand Rapids, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

Is that a tear of joy.   Liz posted on Craigslist about losing her ring at the park and gave a general idea of where it was lost between the parking lot and the picnic table. I searched all around the picnic table and finally went to search near the parking lot where I found it next to the wooden fence. Just engaged with no date for the wedding yet and she was devastated. A beautiful 14K white gold ring with a nice diamond on top. Made my day!

Diamond Engagement ring recovered at home in Lincroft, NJ

While out shopping I got a message from Christine asking for help in finding her engagement ring she lost in her back yard. I told her id come out as soon as i was done. I met her at her house and she explained she was playing volleyball with her daughter and felt her ring fly off her finger. Her husband ordered a metal detector and had it overnighted, but using that they still couldnt find her ring. That morning the whole family was out looking but still no luck. Someone mentioned about people who look for lost rings for people and she found me on google. She showed me where they were playing and i started detecting. The 2nd signal i heard was her ring. She couldn’t believe how quick i found it. Another happy ending with a big smile to show for it.

Ring recovered at Bradley Beach, NJ

Got a call from Raymond asking for help in finding his girlfriends ring at Bradley Beach. While enjoying the day she took off her rings and put them in the side pocket of their beach bag. Raymond’s wallet was in the same pocket and when he went to get it, the rings fell out into the sand. They were able to find them all but one. I met him and he showed me where they were sitting and after a few passes with the detector I located her ring. A happy ending to a nice day on the beach.

Maria-Victoria called about the loss of her necklace. She was out at the beach the night before, and in the dark enjoying the evening and the waves. She had been diving in the water when all of a sudden she noticed that her necklace was missing. This piece of jewelry had been commissioned by her mother in law by a local artist in the mother in law’s native Zimbabwe, so it was a great loss. When she called, it was low tide (it had been high tide when she lost it), and I said that now would be the best time for the search, and not to wait.

When I got to the beach Mari-Victoria was there waiting for me. We discussed the loss, and she had already marked off the area where she believed the loss occurred. I asked about the necklace as to how it was made, and what metals were used in its construction. She tried to explain, and had a blurry photo that did not help to much, but she kept talking about the clasp that held it together on her neck. I began my search low at the water line and worked my way up the slope. The beach was sanded in, and there were no signals except for a car key that I later turned in to the lifeguard. I finished the search up the slope, the told her that I was going to go down into the water, and work outside the boundaries she had drawn. I made one pass in knee deep water, then turned up. I had gone past her boundary about 15 feet when I got a good signal, I dug, and had a small metal ring with some stones attached to it, so I held it up for her, and she came, and positively identified it. I passed my coil over again, and got another good signal, dug and had the rest of it. She was so very happy, because this was a very special piece for her. I did notice though why she kept mentioning the clasp, because the clasp was the only metal in the necklace, everything else was stone and a high tensile string. Without the clasp I would not have found it. What a great day for sure.

I received a contact from Elizabeth who was calling for her friend Caroline who had lost a ring. They let me know that the loss happened the same day, which made the possibility of a recovery very good, so I let them know I would come as soon as I could.

When I got there I had to wait a bit for them, and when they arrived we walked immediately down to the spot where they believed the loss occurred. Caroline explained to me that the ring she lost was a silver class ring that meant a lot to her. They explained that they had been using sifters to find the ring, but to no avail. I began my search in the area they had been searching, and about halfway through the area I received a good signal, dug, and had a ring in the scoop. I waved coil over the hole again, and there was another signal. I dug, and had two rings in the scoop. I was kind of dumbfounded. I waved the coil over the hole again, and got another signal, dug and another ring. I went over the hole again, and another ring. I walked over to Caroline with 5 rings in my hand, and asked, « Didn’t you just lose one ring and opened my hand. She and her friend Elizabeth were amazed, and exclaimed, « I can’t believe it, you found all of them. » Caroline had lost all 5 rings, and was not too sure any would be found, but was hoping for the recovery of her class ring. Well I was happy to be able to find them all for her, and to make her day.

3 Rings Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

It was close to 9:30 am on Friday, May 31st when I received a call from Roz saying her son, Michael had lost 3 rings in the dry sand the day before. She had me on speaker and both her and her husband, Len was answering my questions. They said they were sitting in the dry sand when a wave came up and covered their area. They pulled their towels and bags back to dryer sand and in the process Michael’s rings fell out of the bag. I told them I could be there in about an hour and to send me the Resort’s address.

When I got there, I met Roz and Len on the beach, and they showed me an area about 10’X20’. I turned the Nox on and went to work. I was doing a north/south grid search and was running outside the area Len had pointed out. I finally got a great signal and dug out a 2023 Augusta University class ring, which I’m trying to find the owner of. So, at this point I started an east/west grid search north of the original area. On my second line I hit a solid silver target, 2 of Michael’s rings were silver. Dug out the target and both Roz and Len identified it as Michael’s. A couple of steps and I hit and recovered another silver ring belonging to Michael. Another swing and I found Michael’s 3rd Ring. Roz called Michael and told him the good news. Michael thanked me and we hung up. A few minutes later Roz received a text from Michael saying, “I was in a shared uber and the guy next to me was sleeping so I had to curb my excitement and not be too loud but definitely much thanks to the veteran who found the rings with 2 praying hand emojis.”

Roz and Len – Thank you for calling and trusting me to help find Michael’s rings. Have a safe trip back home.
