Man’s Platinum Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This adventure started about 12:30 p.m. on July 23, 2026, when I received a voice mail saying, “Michelle, I lost my ring in the ocean.” I immediately called her back and learned her husband; Jonathan had his wedding band slip off in the ocean when he was hit by a wave about 30 minutes prior. I asked Michelle how deep they were when his ring came off and she said calf deep. I found out where they were and told her I’d be there in about 15 minutes. I did a quick check of the tide tables and saw I’d be facing an incoming tide.  Plus, this time of the day would mean an increased sea breeze and building waves. Hoping for the best, I grabbed my Equinox 800 and headed out.

When I arrived at the travel park, I met Michelle at their RV, and we walked down to the beach. When she led me to where the family was sitting in the dry sand, I met Jonathon. I asked them what type of metal the ring was, but they weren’t completely sure if it was silver, white gold, or possibly Platinum. They told me that the ring had belonged to Michelle’s great uncle. They also told me that they had been married for a month and that today was their one-year anniversary of Jonathan and Michelle’s engagement. So, there was a lot riding on me finding this ring. I got a few more details on how and about where the ring was lost and then I followed Jonathan out into the ocean. I was getting concerned when we kept walking after getting to waist high water. I was also feeling the sea breeze pick up and the waves coming in higher and stronger. This was not going to be easy. I attempted to start a grid search back towards the beach, but I was getting picked up and moved by each wave. The little bit I was able to search; I did hit a solid 10 on the VDI (visual display indicator). I know a man’s white gold or platinum wedding band is going to ring up between a 9 and 12 depending on size. A man’s silver ring is going to ring up about 25. I was able to do a few swings of the coil and hit a target that showed a 10 on the VDI. So, as soon as I got the 10, I glanced up at the beach and got a landmark and took a quick scoop, hoping I had it. The scoop was full of nothing but small shells. Trying to find it again, the waves had moved me about 5 feet off the target, and I couldn’t find it again. We were within an hour of high tide, so I told Jonathan we’d both pace off the number of steps back to where they were sitting. Naturally we came up with different numbers; his were probably more accurate than mine, because I’m trying to keep the scoop from slamming into my legs and keeping the current and waves from pushing my coil into the sand and breaking it. When we got back up on the beach, I told him we had missed the tide, and I’d have to come back that night at low tide. We talked a bit and I left.

That night I got back about an hour and a half before low tide and tried doing a grid search. It was dark and I had a hard time trying to do any sort of a grid search. There was also a couple of fishermen out pretty close to where I was trying to search. They were wearing, what appeared to be car headlights as their head lamps. They kept looking in my direction and destroyed any night vision I may have had. I did what I could and after almost 2 hours, I called it a night. The whole time I was there, Jonathan and 2 others were sitting on the beach watching me. I told him I’d be back in the morning before low tide and start all over. Unfortunately, Jonathan and Michelle were leaving the next morning, but Michelle’s sisters would still be there.

Friday morning, I was there about 45 minutes before low tide and set up my east/west grid search. Conditions were perfect, so I was confident I’d find his ring. I started to the north of my landmark and worked south, keeping very tight grid lines out to about thigh deep. I finally got in line with the lone palm tree that was my landmark, walked about 10 yards out and got a solid 9-10 on the VDI. I know I had a big smile on my face. I dug a scoop of sand and shells and checked the hole, and I had the target in the scoop. I washed the scoop out in the water and started taking out small handfuls of shells. Finally, I saw Jonathan’s ring, which turned out to be Platinum, in the bottom of the scoop. I took a picture and sent it to Michelle with a text saying, “Yours?!?!?!” I gave her a couple of minutes and called her. When she answered, all I said was, “check your text.” I could hear them over the phone confirming it was Jonathan’s and their excitement. She said she’d call her sisters, Regina and Caroline and have them meet me on the beach. Both sisters showed up and were excited as well. They took the ring to give to Jonathan when they see him on Sunday or Monday. This was a tough one but well worth every second.

Jonathan and Michelle – Thank you for trusting and allowing me to help find your very special and important heirloom.

White Gold Engagement Ring with diamonds Lost on the Beach, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Saturday July 18, 2026 just after midnight. I received the following message on my business suite from Heather saying, “Hey there! I’m sure this is a long shot but I was at the beach directly in front of Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort at Grande Dunes yesterday morning with my two little boys and I believe my engagement ring may have fallen out of our bag. I specifically put it inside our beach bag in a Ziploc bag with my wedding band, which was in the bag, but I cannot locate the engagement ring. If you are looking up at the resort from the beach, we were just to the left of it. I’ll send a reference pic. If you by chance locate one in this area, can you please let me know? We live in Charleston but are from Myrtle Beach. Just celebrated our 10 year anniversary in June and I’m devastated.” I didn’t see her message until after I received the following text from her husband just before 8 a.m. in the morning.  “Hey Jim. My name is David. My wife took my 4 and 2 year old to the beach by the Marriott Grande Dunes on Friday and she lost her wedding ring. She said she put it in a bag and it might have fallen out where she was sitting, I wanted to see if you possibly had any availability today to help find it. We live in Charleston but would be happy to meet you to retrace steps.” I called David and got a few more details, like where his wife Heather had been sitting, etc. About 9 a.m. I decided I’d go ahead and go look for the ring hopefully beating the crowd and the heat. David also sent me some Google earth pictures showing me the area, the resort’s chair line, and where Heather had been sitting.

When I arrived and walked out on the beach, I studied the pictures to make sure I was in the right spot. There were very few people taking up the chairs and umbrellas that the lifeguards put out daily during the summer. David had sent me Heather’s phone number and told me it was ok to Face time her, which I did. Heather pointed out that she had been between 2 red umbrellas that had been set up. Thinking those 2 umbrellas were probably not in the same location they were 2 days ago, I extended my search area. I was able to do a north/south grid search from behind the chair line, along the chair line and under the umbrellas and out to the incoming tide line. I had no luck and was out of options. This is a high end resort, and it’s not easy to get into, so I had a good feeling that a casual beach searcher wouldn’t have found it. On the way off the beach, I just had a feeling that I should stop by the front desk and have them check the lost and found. When I showed the desk clerk the picture of Heather’s ring and asked him if anyone had turned it in, he had a look like he recognized the ring. He told me to hold on, while he checked 4 drawers under the counter and then disappeared in the back. I assumed he checked the safe because he was gone for a few minutes. When he reappeared he was holding an envelope that he opened in front of me. Boom, we had a perfect match. The clerk told me that the ring had been turned in by a pool employee, which means it was either lost at the pool or someone found it on the beach and gave it to the first employee they encountered. I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Heather with a text saying “Yours?” Then I called her. She immediately answered and said “yes, yes, yes!” It just so happened, that she was driving back up to Myrtle Beach from Charleston to retrace all her stops the day she lost her ring, Walmart, a gas station and the resort. We agreed to meet at the resort so she could get her ring back. About an hour later, Heather and I met at the resort and she was so excited to get her ring back.

Heather and David, thank you for trusting me to help find your ring.

Gold Tooth Grill Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

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

This search started just after 1 pm, on July 10, 2026, when I received a text message saying, “Hello, is this Jim Wren.” I responded, “Yes.”  Then I get, “Hi, I was recommended to you off the internet and I was wondering if I could use your help? I have a custom gold tooth set I dropped in the sand, I recovered two of them, but I can’t find the last one. It was 3 pieces all together.” I called her and got additional details, including the address and was on my way.

When I arrived at the address she gave me, I wasn’t close to the beach, so I called her and asked for the resort name, which she provided. I ended up at the resort and had to explain what I was there for to the security guard at the front gate. He seemed reluctant but let me through to park. My second obstacle was the gate guard at the resort’s swimming pool. I made my way through the swimming area and out on the boardwalk looking out at the huge crowd on the beach. I called the young lady, Trejour and told her where I was standing. She ended up being down the beach and she called when she saw me. She showed me the very small area, and I asked for one of the other grill teeth so I could test it. It rang up as a 2-3 on the Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I made a couple of swings and hit a solid 4 on the VDI. I was able to use my pin pointer to hit the target, but I still had to sift the sand through my fingers to find the missing grill. She was extremely happy when I handed it back to her.

Trejour – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure.

Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Sand, Found and Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

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

On June 25, 2026, around 4 p.m. I got a call from Ring Finder John Finnerin, Oak Island NC asking if I’d take a call at Wrightsville Beach NC. John gave me a few details and I told him to go ahead and give the gentleman my phone number. I didn’t hear anything until the morning of 6/26/2026 when Jack called me asking if I could help. At the time, I was driving to another search and I asked him a few details, like where he lost it, wet or dry sand. He stated dry sand, and I asked him if there was any chance of it getting wet, in which he stated no. I asked him to send me the info on the area with an address. I also told him that as soon as I finished the search I was going to I’d let him know. After a successful search, I headed towards Wrightsville Beach and started contemplating what was ahead. Traffic started getting heavy and I thought today being Friday, tourist are coming and going. Parking at the beach would be non-existent and the beach would be crowded. I called Jack and explained my concerns to him and that I was going to hold off until later in the afternoon to go. He understood and agreed. Meanwhile Jack had sent me the beach access number with pictures including a Google map where he had drawn the suspected loss area.

I decided to leave my house around 5 p.m. and make the hour and a half drive, arriving between 7 and 7:15. Everything was working as planned until I tried to find a place to park when I got there. The crowds had moved from the beach to the restaurants and there was still no parking. All the parking at Wrightsville Beach is metered street parking until 8 p.m. so I just kept driving in circles hoping for something. I finally found a spot closer than I thought I would and took it. There was still 15 minutes of pay parking, so I took a chance and didn’t pay the $6 an hour. I found the beach access Jack gave me and took and sent a picture to Jack to show him I was there. When I got out on the beach I looked at the photos Jack sent and set up my search area. About half way through, I took a quick break. As I’m standing there, I see a family with about 20 Adults and kids combined. The adults lined the kids up in two lines to have an egg toss. Unfortunately they were spread out in the exact area I needed to search. So for about 30 minutes or so I stood there watching kids throwing eggs at each other, meanwhile I was losing daylight. When they finished and headed back to their rentals, I picked up where I had left off. It wasn’t long afterwards I hit a solid target that I knew was a gold ring. I scooped up the sand holding the ring, shook it out and there was a gold ring in the scoop. From the description Jack gave me, I knew I had his ring. I took a quick picture of me holding his ring with a text saying, “Yours??” and sent it to him. He immediately responded, Yes!!! I told him I’d get it in the mail to him that Monday and asked for his address, which he supplied.  Monday, I got it in the mail and he is supposed to get it by Thursday.

He got the ring in the mail as scheduled and today, Sunday he sent me the pictures I requested. This was a great ending to an almost tragic loss.

Jack – Thank you for allowing me to help find your lost wedding band.

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

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

On July 2, 2026 just before 11 a.m., I got a call from John saying his wife had lost her rings in the dry sand and asked how my service worked. After explaining that I do this on a reward/gratuity basis and then donate 10% to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, he gave me the details of what happened. He said the rings were lost in the dry sand where they were sitting. I told him I’d be there in about 30-45 minutes, grabbed my Equinox 800 and headed to their location. On the way, I text John saying, “If you’re digging for them, stop. You could either bury them deeper or move them.” He wrote back that he told her to stop.

When I arrived, I found one of my secret spots to park and sent John a text saying, “I’ll be walking out on the beach shortly.” When I walked out on the beach, it was packed with people, two and three families deep from the slope back into the dry sand. John called me and said, “I’m waving at you.” I made my way down to where John, his wife Ashley, and a few others were sitting. Ashley explained that the rings were on the arm of the beach chair, which she moved. She had already found 1 of the rings but the other 2 were still buried. I swung the coil over the area where the chair was with no luck. We moved other chairs, bags, etc out of the way and I followed the small path where Ashley had moved the chair. A couple of swings in the new area and I got a solid 10 on the VDI (visual display indicator), bingo, found 1. I handed that one to John and swung the coil and hit another solid 10. Scooped that one up and let Ashley reach in the scoop and retrieve it. All 3 rings were back where they belong and safe. I suggested to Ashley that she put her rings in a safe place in her bag, which she did.

John and Ashley – Thank you for trusting me to help find your treasures. Have a great vacation and stay safe.

Black with Blue Sapphire Stone High School Class Ring Lost in the Wet to Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Thursday, June 25, 2026, just before 8 a.m.  I received a message from Josie that said, “Hello, someone referred me to you to find my son’s high school ring, it fell in the shore waves yesterday right in front of the Bermuda Sands Resort. I was told if anyone can find is a black ring with a blue sapphire stone and has his name on it.” I didn’t see the message until a little after 10 and then messaged her to call me and added my phone number. Low tide was just before 11 a.m. so I had time to work the outgoing tide. I got a few more details, including that they were checking out at 11 a.m. from the resort. I asked her if she could meet me to show me the area and she agreed. I told her I’d be there a little after 11, grabbed my Equinox 800 and was on the road.

When I arrived, I met Josie on the beach, and she showed me where they had been sitting. I started an east/west grid search above the suspected spot and worked my way down the beach slope to the low tide line. I ran a north grid and wasn’t having any luck other than a little change. So, I went back to my starting point and ran a south grid. Probably about 5 lines south of the original spot I hit a solid 5 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Josie wasn’t sure what metal the ring was, but when I’m doing a ring search, I dig everything even though I know what it is. One shallow scoop of sand and I had the target in my scoop. I shook out the sand and looked in and saw her son, Kabriel’s ring lying in the bottom of the scoop.   Bingo!! I held the ring up so Josie knew I found it and she came running! She was very excited and so relieved. I’m sure it’s going to be a much more pleasant 4 plus hour drive home.

Josie – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your son’s very special HS ring and get it back where it belongs! I wish you all the best.

Man’s 14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Sunday, June 21, 2026 (Father’s Day), I got a text message just before 5 p.m. saying in part, “Hi Jim, this is Nathan. I lost my wedding ring at the beach yesterday and learned today that you find wedding rings. I was wondering if you are able to search for it. I know the approximate area it fell off my hand during high tide. It was in front of the Island Vista Condos and the ring has an inscription in it. Thank you for your time, and if you’re busy no stress. Its life, it happens and I know this is a long shot.” He also sent a picture of both the area and his ring. I immediately called him to get more details. He said he had been swimming in the ocean and as he moved his left arm to take a stoke, he felt his ring come off. I asked about what time and whether he was swimming towards or away from shore, he stated away. The time coincided with close to high tide, which he said, and he also stated he was about chest deep. Low tide was coming up so I told him I’d come and see what I could do.

He and his wife Abbey had already checked out of the resort that day. So, when I got there, I used the picture he sent to get an idea where I needed to search. I also face timed him to double check where I needed to be. At some point before they checked out, he had built up some sand mounds. He lined me up with a house on the beach and the mounds and gave me a good starting point. Knowing he lost it at high tide meant I didn’t have to get soaked. I still ventured out to about waist deep on my grid search. I started on the north end of the house and his sand mounds and worked south. When I made my turn on the far south end of the house, I hit a solid 17 on the VDI (visual display indicator), exactly the number I was looking for. I dug a couple of scoops, laid it out on the beach; spread the sand out with my foot and BINGO! I saw his ring lying in the sand. Cleaned the sand off, found a shell and took a picture. I sent him the picture and called him. He was so excited he had a hard time talking. Luckily, they were still in the area and having a Father’s Day Dinner with Abbey’s parents. They were just finishing up and would come back to get the ring. I was standing next to the car when they pulled up, stopped and got out of the car. Nathan was still excited and shocked to get his ring back. Great couple with matching wedding bands back where they belong!

Nathan and Abbey – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Take care of yourselves and each other and the very best of wishes.

2 Special Wedding Bands Combined into 1 in Tribute and Love for his Mother, Lost in the Ocean. Found and Returned on Carolina Beach NC

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

On Thursday, June 4, 2026, and just after 6 p.m., I received the following text. “Hello Jim, I found you on ring finders and I am visiting Carolina Beach with my family. I lost my wedding ring at 4:45 p.m. today almost directly in front of lifeguard stand 5. I honestly would replace it if it was just a wedding band, but half of the ring is my late mothers who died when I was in my twenties. Thanks for your time and my name is Damien. I immediately sent him a text to call. I got more details on the situation and told him that we missed the tide for the day. We made arrangements to meet the next day before low tide.

On Friday, low tide wasn’t until 5 pm, giving way to stronger winds with higher and harder waves. Damien was waiting in his driveway when I arrived, and we made our way to find a place to park. We got lucky and got permission from one of the rental owners to park in his space. When we hit the beach, it was as I expected with lots of wind and good size waves. Damien pointed out the suspected area, which was between the #5 lifeguard stand and maybe 30 yards north. I started an east/west grid line getting out as far as I could with no luck. After close to a couple of hours and getting pounded by waves, I called the search off. I knew I’d be back; it was just a question of when.

Looking at Saturday morning’s low tide, the tide tables showed it was going to be around 5 am. That would mean I’d have to get up at 2:30 am to make the hour and half plus drive. I opted to wait until Sunday and hit the 7 am tide, leaving the house a little after 4am. On Sunday, everything went as planned and I arrived at the beach before 6 which gave me a little over an hour to search.

When I walked out on the beach, the wind and waves were as good as they were going to get. I started west of the lifeguard stand and got out about chest deep; farther than I expected to search for his ring. About halfway across the search area, as I made my turn to head back to shore, I swung the coil out and got a loud, solid signal. As I stuck the scoop in the sand, I noticed the target had settled inside the trough. The trough is what causes the waves to crash, which is exactly what was happening. Two scoops and I had the target out. I washed the sand out of the scoop in the waves and heard the clatter of the ring. Looking inside the scoop, there was Damian’s very special ring. While I was admiring the ring in my scoop, the coil was getting covered in sand that was washing into the trough with the waves. As I pulled the coil out of the sand, I broke the coil ears that connect the coil to the shaft. This flaw is one of the very few pitfalls of the Equinox 800s.

I took a picture of the ring and made my way back to the car. I headed to the rental Damian, and his family was staying in to give them a good morning surprise. Unfortunately, they had left the night before and had driven home. So at 7:13 am, I sent the picture along with a text saying, “You awake?? Yours?” At 8:39 am on my drive home I got a response, “That is it! Give me a sec, literally just woke up.” I called him shortly after and he was truly surprised his treasure was found. He texted me a little later saying how grateful he was that his special ring was found. He also stated in the text, “Half of that gold in the ring was from my mom who passed away in 2011. You can see the line in the ring where it separates it.” He sent me his address, and I got the ring in the mail Monday.

Damian – Thank you for trusting me to help find your very special and sentimental wedding band.

White Gold w/Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring lost in the Ocean. Found and Returned Wrightsville Beach, NC

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

On Friday, May 22, 2026, just after 8:30 am, I received a call from the Oak Island, NC.  Ring Finder, John Finnerin. He asked if I could take a call from a young lady, Amanda, who lost her engagement ring on Wrightsville Beach, NC. I told him I’d be glad to and we hung up. Amanda called me and explained that she had lost her ring the day before. I told her I’d be there in about an hour and 30-40 minutes. On the way, I ask for an address where we could meet and a few more details. In some of her response she stated she probably lost it around 2 or 3pm and wasn’t sure if she lost it in the water or where they were sitting. She also said that they were in the water and did go out to chest deep around 2pm. I looked at the time I’d be there and where the tide was going to be and it didn’t look promising.

When I got to the meeting area, Blaine, her fiancé was waiting at the corner to direct me to parking. We walked up the street to the beach access and I met Amanda. We walked out on the beach and over to the area they had been sitting, Blaine thought it was another 30 yards south. Looking over the situation, it was very close to high tide, and the sea breeze had picked up and blowing some pretty good size waves up on the beach. About the only thing I was going to be able to accomplish then was going to be a grid search of the beach down to the water’s edge. I did an east/west grid search and eliminated the entire beach area. At that point, I was stalling for time hoping that the sea and wind would calm down, didn’t happen! I did try and see how far I could get out in the water. Unfortunately, when a wave hit me and knocked me down, causing me to break the cuff on my detector, my day was done. I came to the conclusion that I’d have to come back and hit the morning low tide for calm seas and before the sea breeze started. I don’t remember if I told Amanda and Blaine that I was going to come back or not. This was Friday, and because of the Memorial Day weekend, I wasn’t able to get back out until Tuesday morning around 9 am. I called my good friend Burwin, who has helped me numerous times and asked him if he was up for an adventure. I don’t think he’s ever told me no.

We showed up a little after 9 am on Tuesday and I asked him to start on the east side, and I’d start on the west side, and we’d meet in the middle. Both of us were doing a north/south grid line. Since I was down a detector, I broke out my Surf PI. I haven’t used that machine in years; it just gets heavy. I was probably a quarter of the way across my area and maybe shin deep when I got a hit. I pulled out 3 scoops of heavy wet sand before I got the target out of the hole. Spread the sand out and ran the coil over the area. Boom! I saw a round object packed with sand and reached down to pick it up. I had Amanda’s ring in my hand. I cleaned it off and took 3 pictures of it. I called Amanda, who was working, and asked her what her ring looked like. I knew I had it from the description she gave me on day one.  I also sent her the 3 pictures. As she’s explaining, she stopped and said, “My Ring!” I know there were tears flowing down her cheeks, and she couldn’t talk. I love the surprise reactions, makes it all worthwhile!! I was able to make it to the Post Office and get it in the mail. She should get it Friday.

Today, Saturday I got a text message with a picture of Amanda attached. The text said, “Officially got my ring back! We’re beyond grateful for your help Jim!!”

Amanda and Blaine – I’m so happy I could find your treasure. Thank you for trusting me to help.

White Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

This adventure started at 9:30 am on Memorial Day, 2026 when I received a text from Maureen saying, “Hi, is this the ring finder gentleman? She went on to say, “I apologize so much, I know it’s a holiday, but I was told the sooner I try to get help finding it the better.  We were in front of the Carolinian Beach Resort on 25th Ave in Myrtle Beach with some friends yesterday and I lost my wedding band. It’s just a straight band with 5 diamonds across. It was given to me by my husband by his mom to give to me and I’m just devastated. I’ve been out with my dad’s metal detector once, and we are going to try and go out with it again today. Do you think there’s any chance in a million of finding it?” I immediately called the number, and it went to voice mail, so I text her to call me. When she called, I asked her if she could meet me and told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes. She agreed, and I told her I was on my way.

When I got there, I texted her and she responded their GPS said they were about 16 minutes out. I asked her if she could give me a location on the beach with some landmarks, which she did. Luckily the beach wasn’t crowded yet, but there was a family just getting ready to set up their spot and it was very close to where I needed to search. I explained what I was doing and asked nicely if I could check their area really quick. They agreed and I quickly went over the area and got a solid 26 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Well, the 26 told me the target was in the silver range. This was way outside the single digits I expected for a white gold wedding band, which was what Maureen’s wedding band was. I dug the target and found a ring, it was nice looking, but one of the cheap rings people buy at the beach shops for $10 bucks. I thanked the family and waited for Maureen, her husband Miguel and their children.

Maureen and her family showed up a short time later and met me on the beach. Maureen walked to the south side of the area where they had been sitting. She said that she had taken her rings off and put them under the strap of her swimming suit top to put sunscreen on her and the kids. After she was done, her engagement ring was there but the wedding band had fallen out. I turned the Equinox 800 back on and started a north/south grid. Within just a few minutes, I got a booming 6 on the VDI, Bingo!! This was exactly what I was expecting for her white gold ring. Took a scoop of sand, shook out the sand and saw her ring in the bottom of the scoop. I held the scoop out to her and let her pull her treasure out. She was so excited, and some tears started to flow. Perfect ending and another chapter to add to her ring story.

Maureen – Thank you so much for calling and trusting me to help find your precious ring, so glad I could help. I wish all the best to you and Miguel.

Jim
