Gold Wedding Band Disappears Into Emerald Isle Beach Sand, Recovered
Johnny’s family was enjoying their annual visit to Emerald Isle, NC. A family tradition for many years. Johnny placed his wedding band in the chair before getting in the water and the chair was folded up. His ring was now missing. After scouring the area in search for the lost ring, lines were drawn in the sand to mark the area and Crystal Coast Ring Finders were called to assist in the recovery. I arrived shortly afterwards and all metal objects were placed out of the way and the quick search began. My first target seem suspicious and my pinpointer confirmed it was too deep to be the recently lost wedding band. The second target was a strong positive signal and I told them I think I found it. I placed my hand into the sand and pulled Johnny’s ring back to the surface.
Johnny told me they took a similar ring and dropped it into the sand to see what would happen and it buried itself with loose sand.
A metal detector made a huge difference but if you don’t know how to operate it, it’s best to save time and money hiring an expert.

Marta called and said her husband Travis had just lost his wedding ring in the sand. They were at the volley ball courts in Point Pleasant Beach when it flew off. We made arrangements to meet on court 18, I also had her request to shut down that one court so the ring wouldn’t go any deeper. When I arrived Travis showed me where he thought it had came off, and in just a few swings the ring was in the scoop. It took longer to find the court they were on than the recovery itself. I love the expressions when an item is returned.
