A preface to my blog:

“The Tiffany Bean Necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry; it is a cultural symbol. Over the years, it has become synonymous with personal milestones—from graduations to anniversaries, and even as a gesture of self-love. The necklace represents a connection to significant life moments, encapsulating memories and emotions that are often cherished by its wearers.” Quoted from: wearfortune.com/blogs

July 20, 2025 As it happened to be the summer tourist season the main highway thought the Outer Cape on Cape Cod (route 6) is usually bumper to bumper unless you can travel late night or early morning. My luck the tide would be low and a early morning search possible. Parking would be another problem. My luck again was on my side. A vacationer was packing his vehicle at the end of his stay. He was all-in to let me park in “his” driveway while I went to search for the lost “Bean”.

Ready for the search, I preceded to the area described to me and then did a grid search. Not finding the necklace and wondering where to move my search area to. Luke shows up and told me the difference between what I counted as 2 wood posts was a bit short of what he had counted. OK another 50 feet down the beach and I saw some of the previous night’s search marks in the sand. I started to search swinging my detector in a precise pattern. About two minutes into the grid, Bingo, I heard a promising signal, took a shallow scoop and saw the necklace hanging from the end of my scoop.

The search was over, just as Luke’s sister (the Beans owner) was strolling down the beach toward our location as we were about to leave. Smiles and thank you along with me getting the relationship, to each other of those, that came to watch. I knew my trip home would also be easy as all the traffic build up would be in the other direction of travel this morning. Nothing but smiles and a good cup of coffee are a perfect beginning for any day.

Black Diamonds ARE Forever. Lost,Cape Cod,Found,Returned, Yarmouth Beach

Contact:

A call came in yesterday, to help find a Wedding Band that was lost the day prior in waste deep water. Rick called and asked if I wanted to go, I said he was on his own for this one, that I had a few things to do. I thought about how vast the area was, so I called back, and said I’ll meet him at his house ASAP. We met Stephanie and Chris at the beach lot about an hour later. They seemed real precise as to where they thought it to be. They walked out ahead of us, as we got ready for the search. Rick and I walked out about a mile onto the sand, then into waste deep water. We both searched for quite some time with no luck two junk targets a bullet and a penny.

I asked Chris to regroup, and stand where he thought it was, he was having second thoughts, he moved about 150 feet over.  Again Rick and I searched, and searched, still nothing. I then asked Stephanie where she thought it was lost, and to go over and stand there, so I could start my search over. Rick was still out far and walking away from Chris with no targets at all. I headed towards Stephanie, as I approached her, I said  » I just don’t get it, I just don’t get it. Not a signal in that whole area, even after an hour, it’s crazy. I told her not to give up till she sees us walking toward the truck. That if it was there and I went over it that I would hear it. I think Chris and Stephanie were about to throw in the beach towel, but as I walked by her, finally a very loud signal 4 feet away from where she was standing in the water. I looked over to her and smiled, Her eyes got huge, her smile even bigger, she had a hard time controlling her emotions. Stephanie knew, I had just recovered what they both thought was lost forever, King Neptune finally gave in to me. Stephanie was shaking, I’m not sure if it was from the cold, or from being excited. She yelled over to Chris, he started to run fast as he could in the water, I yelled faster, faster, he couldn’t get there fast enough to see what the commotion was all about. Rick knew already I had just found Chris’s  beautiful 14K white gold wedding band, with black diamonds set into the center. I handed it over to Chris as he teared up also. So gratifying to see it back on his finger.

Lot’s of congratulations and hand shakes went around, Chris kept repeating he just couldn’t believe we did what we said we would do. Great team work is always a plus. Thanks again to Rick for the invite. Now I will say it myself. Congratulations Chris and Stephanie on your return. Thank You for getting in touch with Rick & myself.

14K white Gold Black Diamonds

Lost Engagement Ring Found on Beach in Eastham, Cape Cod, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Others using several different detectors over many hours had  search the beach area during a ten day period before I had my chance to detect  the area. In an hour and forty minutes on the beach I dug over 50 pull tabs and  bottle caps before locating the platinum ring holding onto its nine beautiful  diamonds. Somehow it had hidden from the onslaught and waited for me to unearth  it from beneath 5 inches of wet sand, just one inch above the water table. Cell  calls to Maine and frantic runs up the hill for better reception to communicate correct  information culminated in another Happy Ending with a big Smile on Nicole’s  face for my memory book. I will also cherish the wonderful hand made ceramic crab ornament and two candy dishes I was given.
