Lost Wedding Ring In The Ocean Found And Returned – Emerald Isle, NC

Crystal Coast Ring Finders – Emerald Isle, NC
Victor called me on a recommendation. He stated he lost his wedding band of 3 years while enjoying the ocean. I made plans to hunt before the next low tide (12:15 a.m.) and that was very late so I said there may be a chance it’s on the beach so I began searching just after 10:30.
Victor and his friends and family had gathered above the location and they knew just where Victor’s custom made gold band was lost.
I started my grid search well above the current tide and progressed down to the waves rolling onto the beach. Just as I my boots were getting wet and the grid lines in the sand were being washed away, I hit a very strong signal. Being that the ring was large, my detector screen displayed the high end of what a gold ring would signal. One scoop into the sand and the following wave cleared out the sand. I peaked inside and saw that beautiful golden circle! I walked up to the group who had phones and lights running and let the ring roll out of the sand scoop in front of them. It was a great feeling watching them celebrate the recovery!

I was called to find a ring on Robinson Island late Saturday afternoon the day before Easter. The ring was lost in the water near the their boat when the owner threw the anchor to set a stern line in about waist deep water. By the time I got there the party and most of the boats had gone home, so it was easy to maneuver while searching except for the pop tops and pull tabs. When you’re hunting jewelry you can’t depend on knowing the metallurgy so you have got to dig everything. I wasn’t counting but I’ll bet I dug over 100 pull tabs. That said when I finally located the ring the data from my detector was unmistakable. Ring was recovered, we got back to the dock with a little sun left and the the family was all happy.


This nice lady lost her beautiful wedding ring in the woods across the street from her home. But she wasn’t sure where. I searched using a detector with a small coil so I could check in weeds, brush and around trees. It took about an hour to find it in some weeds it fell into, out of sight, next to a pine tree. The detector was telling me right where it was but I couldn’t see it. It had fallen down to soil level in a tight clump of weeds. She couldn’t believe I found if. I wa happy too because it could have been anywhere. It was quite different from a beach search.
Found this ring while looking for another. Asked around and heard of a fellow who lost a ring about two week before. Was able to get his name and contact him for a return. He sent me a picture of his lost ring and that is indeed the one I found. Ring was mailed back to him. Some times we just get lucky.
