Taylor texted me August 15th with a message stating, « This is a complete shot in the dark but I lost a ring in the last week of July at Topsail Island »
This class ring belonged to her mother. Taylor said she was given the ring when she was 6 years old and has worn it off and on for nearly twenty years.
She informed me the ring was lost above the high tide line. I explained that the odds are low especially if it was lost in the ocean or close to a public parking access as other detectorist hunt these places on a regular basis. Taylor still wanted me to give it a shot and my reply was « I agree. If nobody searches, there is no hope. We have found rings that were lost a longer period of time… » Upon arrival, I was becoming concerned as there were 2 public parking lots within 150 yards of the beach house her family rented. I started from the path to the beach house, walked just below the high tide line. I began my walk back towards the house when an iffy signal on my Minelab CTX-3030 caught my attention. When on a recovery search, I dig almost every signal so my scoop went to work and plucked out her ring on the very first scoop. I must admit, it even surprised me! I was so very happy to find her ring that had been lost for 20 days.






ty NJ. It had great sentimental value to her, as I could tell after just a short time on the phone. Lucky I was able to arrive promptly, as she had made reservations for later in the afternoon. Kudos to her and her husband for preparing the area it was lost, which made for a quick recovery. A very short time later they were on their way, with her cherished ring back on her finger. So many happy memories doing this.
Curtis called asking if I could do a recovery in the lagoon behind his house. After going over some details, I told him I would be there soon. He was playing with the dog in the lagoon when his paw accidently broke the chain, and the cross dropped to the bottom before he could grab it. In almost neck deep water I got a faint signal, and sure enough, that was it.
