I received a text from a gentleman about a gold wedding ring lost in his backyard, by a friend of his, during an obstacle/drinking event that involved a slip n slide and a bat spin!
Needless to say the ring flew off at some point and they couldn’t find it.
After arriving and getting the layout it took about 10-15 mins to find it!

I was contacted by a husband, (Ben), saying his wife lost her wedding ring in the front yard and that they had tried finding it with a metal detector, but had not located it. They had a very large front yard, but had marked off an area they thought it would be, because he had to run the mower. The area he thought it would be had not been cut. The temperatures those days were at the 95 degree range and I was in the full sun with no relief from any shade. The first day I spent around 4-5 hours finding nothing but surface items that sounded like a ring, small pieces of foil. I had completely covered the entire area he thought it would be. I was spent from the heat, so I came back the next day and expanded the search area. After around 4 hours I was well outside of the original search area by around 60 feet or so and I got a consistent 17 on my Manticore and it seemed to be on the surface because of the double beep. I had found it, but there was a problem. It was in the area that had been mowed and had been damaged from being run over with the mower tire. The band had been bent, had a small stone missing, and the main setting stone was loose. So as soon as I could I put it in a small zip lock bag so if anything else came loose it would not get lost.

Evan called Crystal Coast Ring Finders to locate a lost silver ring. His family were out the tossing a small football when, during a throw, Elise felt her sentimental ring fly from her finger.
Moments after arrival to the location, we discussed the general boundaries where they felt the ring would be retrieved for Elise. I started my grid search and a strong 92 signal on my XP Deus II metal detector. This was the type of signal I was expecting and after gently placing my hand deep in the sand I was able to scoop up a handful of sand with Elise’s lost ring. The group was very surprised how quickly I found the missing ring.

Anne messaged Crystal Coast Ring Finders. She explained she may have lost a gold ring on the beach. She removed her ring and placed it in a backpack. They used the backpack to bike ride a few miles up to a nearby park. The next morning, I met Anne very early and we proceeded to the location. Anne lost the ring two days prior and tried to locate the ring while raking the sand surface the day after she lost it. Upon arrival, I could still see where she searched and started my hunt over that area. Unfortunately, I did not find anything except a few pieces of garbage metal. I asked Anne if anyone took any pictures of the area and this was the key to figure out exactly where they had set up during the beach visit. I began searching more to the Southwest. My XP Deus II locked onto a very loud signal. Seconds later, Anne’s custom made green gold wedding band was back in the sunlight.
Thank you Mabel (Anne’s young pup) for the assistance and entertainment!

My fiancé was tagged by one of her friends on Facebook page for Southport NC. The local page post stated someone from Portland, OR had lost her wedding and engagement rings.
After joining the page and getting in contact with the young lady’s husband. We were able to decide on a time for me to drive out to the beach to help find his wife’s lost rings.
I drove 4 1/2 hours one way and just missed the 1:30 ferry to Bald Heads Island, so I had to wait until the 3 o’clock ferry.
I get to the other side at 3:45, had to put my detector together and get the details. We made our way to the beach where they gave me the general area of where his wife had lost her rings.
I spent well over an hour in the water because that’s where they thought they lost them.
I told Jon (the husband) I was going to make my way to the sand and he said he was going to head back to the house. Some of his family had remained behind on the beach.
I hadn’t hit on ANYTHING in the water or on the beach. As I made my way to the wet sand that’s when I finally got a hit! 1st scoop and IT WAS THE WEDDING BAND! Then from there I did a circle around the first hole until I got the 2nd hit, 2 scoops and BOOM!!! IT WAS THE 3 CT EMERALD CUT DIAMOND RING!!! I had successfully found them BOTH!
We waited for everyone to down to the beach from the house and shared where I found them and took some happy pictures!
We then headed back to the house to share the news with the rest of the family, drink a couple of beers to celebrate!!!
This is what I do; what I love to do! I enjoy putting smiles back on faces and joy back in the broken hearts of individuals that had very little hope their cherished rings wound be found!
