Two Very Important Lost Rings Found After Kids Day At The Beach

NORTH TOPSAIL, NC                                                                                        By: Crystal Coast Ring Finders

I was taking advantage of the calm Atlantic Ocean waves by metal detecting the waist deep waters of Emerald Isle, NC.  My phone, in it’s waterproof case, rang and I came out of the water to return the call.  Jeff informed me his wife Kim had lost 2 of her rings on the beach about an hour away from my current location.  I told Jeff I would load up the truck and head that way as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, Kim & Jeff informed me she was spending the day at the beach and removed her rings to apply sunscreen to the kids.  She became distracted and wasn’t sure where she placed them but feels they were on the beach blanket.  It wasn’t until she returned home to shower that she noticed her rings were missing.  Kim went back to the location and tried to search and found the area (because of a dead crab nearby).   Kim was unable to dig out the rings from the sand.  Marking the location was very important as I started to grid search the area and after one pass, I turned to start a second search line, and my metal detector sounded off very loudly.  I looked up at Jeff & Kim and smiled.  I was almost certain I had found them under the sand.  My pinpointer confirmed the location and I used my hand to scoop the rings to the surface.   Kim came a running after spotting the large cigar style ring.

Four rings lost and found at Popham Beach State Park in Popham, Maine

  • from Rockport (Maine, United States)
Contact:

I was referred by fellow Ring Finder Dennis Boothby to Kimberly who had lost 4 rings while vacationing at Popham Beach, and had already returned home to Pennsylvania. When I was initially contacted one the rings had been found in the sand and turned into the Park Ranger. I travelled to the site without optimism as a week had passed and the rings being on a public beach could have easily been found by another detectorist. After about 30 minutes of searching I recovered the rings in the general vicinity of where Kimberly had reported them being lost. I made the phone call to report my success which was well received with a joyous and tearful response.

Lost Necklace And Custom Gold Wedding Band Returned With Help

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Randy called me one evening to say he placed his ring & necklace in his beach chair before heading out for one last swim before going out to eat.  He folded up the chair and ran back to the beach house and then realized he didn’t have his jewelry.  Upon arrival, Randy gave me a quick description of where he walked back to the house (across a very wide area of the beach) and back to the area he felt he had the chair set up.  It was getting dark quickly and it was very hard to determine the exact location.  I performed a grid search that evening and made a few hikes to the house and back to the high tide line.  It was getting late and I was only finding trash so I called it for that evening.  Fortunately, I keep track of where I walked, with an online application,  and use this to return to search again if needed.

The next couple of days I wasn’t able to get back to try again.  Two days after Randy phoned me, a young honest lady (Amber) asked if I knew of anyone that lost a gold ring near The Point (Emerald Isle)?  I told her I was searching for a ring & necklace in that area.  She mentioned her little sister Alayna found the ring while searching for seashells.  She shared the picture of the custom ring with me. I asked Randy about his ring and he described it perfectly!  We had a match!  I knew the necklace must have been nearby.  I asked Amber where the ring came from and she mentioned just above the high tide line.  I headed back out at daybreak because the heat each day was too much for me to be walking in the hot sand with no shade.  I expanded my original search area and was within inches the 1st night of finding both.  I hit a very clean signal and one scoop into the sand I was able to pull Randy’s gold chain with a golden cross.  It was a fantastic feeling to know WE found both his wedding ring and his necklace!  I am so glad Amber and Alayna knew about Crystal Coast Ring Finders.

TWO LOST RINGS: 3 Ct, emerald cut diamond engagement plus wedding band at BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC….. FOUND!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

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!

Old Lyme , CT Platinum Diamond Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Old Lyme CT, July 27. What started as a Christmas in July celebration at the beach with over 150 guest became a frantic search for a lost platinum diamond ring. Kristina the coordinator of the event was playing with the children handing out gifts and dancing with them under a huge tent. Line dancing around all the tables and tlo the gift distribution area. After stopping at her table she noted that two of her three rings were almost falling off her finger and the large diamond ring was missing. In a frantic search the crowd started searching the area kicking sand , kids digging into the sand and even a child’s detector was employed. Quick action by Alison reached out to me from social media and gave me the situation. In about 30 minutes I was onsite and assessing the situation. The area was trampled and it became clear there was no clear idea of where it could have been lost. I started but using a standard coil covering and gridding the area closest to where she noticed it had been missing. The tables and chairs were moved when possible to allow better access and everyone was supportive. I started by giving Kristina who said she was catholic and seeking help a St Anthony medal to pray for her lost items and many of the guests started doing the same. At one pint everyone left the area to go to sleep and I remained but changed my strategy and used a smaller sniper coil to better get between the tables. After about a half hour a weak but repeatedly signal in the range of  platinum was identified. The soft sand was pinpointed and at a depth of 6-7 inches a solid ping was detected, sifting the sand with my fingers I felt the band of the ring and a glitter of platinum ion the sand and brought it to the surface.  Some passing relatives contacted her and she jumped into a golf cart and came straight to the tent where her ring awaited her. We had several precious and emotional minutes where she came to terms it had been found and that her and the other peoples prayers to St Anthony were heard. A miracle had just been witnessed.

Ring found at Bolsa Chica Beach with Metal Detector

  • from Sunset Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I was sent a google map location at Bolsa Chica Beach via text to search for a tungsten ring. These are more difficult when the person can’t meet you in person.
I sent pictures to verify which fire pit he was at. I circled the fire pit and on the 5th time around I found his ring. Drive to Long Beach to drop off his ring but forgot to take a picture of him with the ring.

Madison reached out to me after a heart-sinking moment—her husband lost his gold wedding band while playing in the ocean with their daughter in Margate, NJ. The sentimental ring slipped off his finger and disappeared beneath the waves. They searched the area frantically, but with the tide rising and no way to see through the surf, they knew they needed expert help.

That’s when Madison found RingFindersSouthJersey.com and gave me a call.

I was on the road and made it to Margate Beach within 20 minutes. After getting the exact location and tide conditions, I geared up with my underwater metal detector and got to work. Within 10 minutes of starting the search in waist-deep water, I heard the sweet tone I was hoping for. One scoop later the gold ring was in my hand.

Cameron and his wife were thrilled, emotional, and incredibly relieved to have the ring back. It was more than just a piece of jewelry it was a symbol of their love and memories shared by the sea.
