On June 10, 2026, just before 4 pm, I received a voice mail saying, “Hi, this is Mark. I’m calling Mr. Wren about finding a lost ring at Sunset Beach, NC. You can call me back at this number. Thank you.” I immediately called him back to get the details. When I called, I talked to Mark’s wife, Annemarie and she stated that she was at the beach and decided to take a swim. When she reached the water, she realized she still had her mother’s engagement ring and her grandmother’s wedding band on. She walked back up the beach, took her rings off and rolled them up in a towel to keep them safe. After a long swim, she returned to her spot and grabbed the towel to wrap herself up in and get warm. She forgot about the rings until she saw one fly out of the towel. She was able to flag down a roving lifeguard who helped find the wedding ring. I asked her if she could meet me, but she wasn’t able to until the next morning. Sunset Beach gets heavily detected, and I told her if we wait until the next day there’d be a good chance the ring would be gone. She finally told me where she had been sitting, which was under the pier. So I grabbed my detector and made the 30-minute drive. When I arrived, a good friend had also decided to hunt Sunset Beach. He always detects under the pier and then moves out east or west. I told him what I was there for and we walked out to the pier. I wasn’t real sure which section of the pier she was under. I ran into the lifeguard that helped find her wedding band and he pointed out the area. I turned my machine on and made a couple of swings and got a solid 9, showing me a yellow gold target. One scoop and I had the ring. I called her and we made arrangements for me to deliver it at 9 am the next day, which we did.

Annemarie – Thank you for allowing me to help find your mother’s engagement ring.

On Tuesday at 6:28 p.m., I received the following text message. “Hi! My name is Leah. I am in Holden Beach until Thursday with some friends on a breach trip! We just graduated college and I lost my class ring in the sand. Was wondering if you were in the area/available to help me search??” I tried calling her and it went to voice mail. So, I responded to her text asking her to call me. When she called, she told me she had lost 3 rings but her and her friends were able to find 2 of them. She knew the area and they were lost in the soft sand. I told her it should be a piece of cake to find it and I could be there in 45 minutes. She agreed and said she’d pin the area and send it to me. So, I grabbed my 2 Equinox 800s (one as backup) and headed out.

When I arrived, I called her and she said she’d be there in about 5 minutes. She told me her rings were a little to the right of the beach access and straight out but not past the drop off (erosion). When she arrived, I was already on the beach doing an east/west grid search. We discussed the area and how she lost her rings. She moved me further to the west and stated that her rings were in a bag that had a hole in it, unbeknownst to her until she realized it later. She had marked the 2 spots where the other two rings were found, which helped. So, I refocused and changed me grid search to a north/south search. Within 4 grid lines I hit a little gold ring. Not what I was looking for, or so I thought. About 2 steps away, I hit another good signal and pulled her Gold Class ring w/black onyx out of the sand. I held it up and asked, “Is this yours?” She came running over with her hands over her mouth and said, “That’s it!” While we were standing there talking, I told her I had found another little gold ring. That’s when she told me she had actually lost 4 rings, but really wasn’t concerned about the 4th ring. She also said she wasn’t sure if it was gold or not. When I got the original signal, the tone and numbers from the machine indicated gold. But nonetheless she was thrilled she had all 4 of her rings back. She also told me she had just gotten her class ring in the mail a few days earlier. She was so happy and excited to get her rings back.

Leah – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasures. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home. Best of luck to you in your future!

Jim
