Yellow Gold St Luke Medal Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned Sunset Beach NC

On June 26, 2026, just before 9:30 a.m. I received a call from Mark saying his son Luke had lost his Yellow Gold St Luke Medal and asked if I could help. He also said that Luke had been setting up cabanas on the beach and his gold chain clasp had broken sending the medal into the dry sand. Mark told me that he had been using a metal detector but wasn’t able to find it. I told him I’d be there in about 45 minutes and was on my way.

When I arrived, Mark had saved me a parking spot. He asked a cleaning crew that was cleaning out one of the rentals if we could park in the driveway and they agreed. Mark led me out on the beach and pointed out the two cabanas that Luke had set up. I turned the Equinox 800 on and worked the outside area first, then moved under the cabanas and hit a solid 13 on the VDI (visual display indicator) which could indicate a yellow gold piece of jewelry. I dug out a couple of scoops of sand, shook the scoop out and saw the medal. I reached in, grabbed it and handed it to a very happy Mark.

Mark, thank you for allowing me to help find Luke’s medal and get it back where it belongs.

IPhone Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

Shortly before 3 p.m. on Apr 4th, I received a call from Magen asking if I could find an IPhone on the beach. I responded I could and got additional details. I told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes, she agreed, and I was on my way.

Magen had given me the code for the parking garage, so I had a place to park when I got there. I met Magen by the hotel pool, and we walked to the beach. On the way, Magen told me her 11-year-old daughter had been making sandcastles and had laid her phone on the sand. At some point they realized the phone had disappeared.  Magen knew the area where it was lost. She said they had actually drugged their feet through the area trying to find the phone. I started the search a little south and after a few lines, Magen moved me a little further north. I hadn’t gotten a description of the phone, figuring it was probably the only phone that’d be out there. At some point and unknowingly, my phone fell off my hip. As I’m searching, a young man came up behind me and asked if I was looking for a phone. I said I was, and he handed me a phone he just found. Well, not paying a lot of attention to the phone, I asked Magen If it was her daughter’s phone. When she said “no”, I realized I was holding my own phone. To say I was totally embarrassed is an understatement!!! After a couple more grid lines, I hit her daughter’s phone buried under a few inches of sand. A dance competition weekend saved.

Magen – Thanks for allowing me to help find your daughter’s IPhone. Hope you all have a great weekend and her team does great.
