Not all lost items are rings or jewelry. Andy a friend called asking if I could find a sewer vent drain in his lawn. After the short ride over and the quick search it was found.


Danny was playing volleyball at South Mission Beach Friday afternoon, took his wedding ring off before the game started, and put the ring in his shoe on the sideline for safe keeping. During the day, His gear was moved to a different court for another game. After all the games ended, he headed to his car where he proceeded to grab his ring and put his shoes on. Oh oh, no ring! He retraced his steps and searched both areas, but, no luck. He got online and found TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. He called me Saturday afternoon and we made arrangements to meet the next morning at 7am to do the search. We met early Sunday morning and I searched both areas thoroughly, but, no ring. In fact, I only found one cent and a junk charm in the whole area. It was likely someone had already detected that area sometime between when he lost the ring Friday afternoon, and when I searched Sunday morning. I told Danny that I would keep his lost ring on file and contact fellow club members and other I know who detect that beach and let him know if I get any response. Sure enough, I emailed out his lost ring story to my local detecting club and our vice president Rick answered that he think he found it! Rick sent me a photo of the ring he found at that location on Friday night and it was a dead-on match. Rick and I met Danny Monday morning for the return. Sometimes it takes some teamwork for a successful recovery, but, the results are what counts. Thanks for your help Rick. Danny (on the left in the photo) appreciated that.

Emerald Isle, NC
JoEllen was spending time with her parents sitting on the Emerald Isle beach along the shoreline. They were sitting down by the water so they could put their feet in the waves. She had explained to me she had taken off her very special ring and placed it in her glasses case prior to going to the beach. While on the beach, she decided to put on her glasses and forgot the ring was also in the case. It wasn’t until the next morning she had realized the ring was missing and she called Crystal Coast Ring Finders. The beach sand was very soft and very little items were found during the search. Her ring was eventually found under about 12 inches of sand. This was a very challenging search but when you can successfully return an important item to the owner, it makes it worth the effort!
Amber found me on the Ring Finders website after she lost a silver necklace of sentimental value, given to her by family. She was helping with a wedding when she noticed the necklace was missing. She was certain that she lost it while carrying a suitcase across a mowed field. On a cloudy, misty day we discovered it hiding in the stubble after about an hour of searching. Made us both smile!



SWANSBORO, NC
Bailee was spending the day with her parents along the White Oak river trying to catch shrimp using a cast net. They were throwing the net from a high wooden walkway. During one toss, Bailee’s gold college class ring slipped off of her finger into the rivers soft muddy bottom. Bailee’s father started an online search and found Crystal Coast Ring Finders. Just after the call, I was on my way. To my surprise, getting close to the ring was a challenge in itself as the bottom was very soft in places and water access was also a bit of a challenge. After pulling up various items of trash, I locked onto a strong 12 signal on the Minelab Equinox 800. The scoop was filled with the black mud but the signal was no longer on the bottom. After a few seconds of sifting out the mud and debris, Bailee’s ring was shining in the bottom of my scoop. I loved the reaction from her as her eyes lit up and she jumped with joy

I received a call from Brandon who lost his gold wedding band in a Philadelphia park while he and his friends were playing kickball. He caught the ball and threw it, sending his ring flying. After he and his friends searched for around 2 hours with no luck, they reached out to fellow Ringfinder Rich Hageney who referred Brandon to me.
After getting the general location of where it flew off his finger and a thorough grid search, the ring was found!

I received a message through Facebook messenger from Caroline about her lost silver bracelet. She explained that she lost her bracelet on the beach yesterday in Stone Harbor, NJ. After a quick grid search, the bracelet was found. Thanks to Bob Brown on the assist. 





David, Kayla and her mother were spending an evening on the beach fishing the shoreline. Kayla had taken off her engagement ring and placed it in a small bowl. Just after David caught a fish, Kayla headed down to the water to get a closer look. Unfortunately, the bowl, holding Kayla’s ring spilled onto the beach just as darkness was setting in. I happened to be in the area about an hour later and David approached me to ask for my help finding this wonderful ring. After a few passes and as they were packing up to leave, I was able to pull her ring from the beach. I was very happy to return this for them as Kayla’s mother told me when I began searching that David had just returned from military service in Afghanistan. I thank him and all that protect us for their service to our country!
