I finished the day 2-3 on recoveries, lack of sleep, many hours and miles driven to put smiles back on 2 of the 3 and hopes for the 3rd one it is somewhere in her bags waiting to be found!
While on the ferry ride to Southport coming back from Bald Head Island and after successfully completing my early morning ring recovery. I get a call from a gentleman telling me his wife lost her wedding set in some grass at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, NC last night. They were able to find the engagement ring, but the wedding band wasn’t able to be found.
They had lots of help from police and pedestrians all trying to locate this ring in the dark!
He found me online and gave me a call. I advised him of my current location/situation and assured him that I could head straight to him once I get back to my truck and change into some dry clothes. Four hours later I arrived and met the both of them. I get my gear ready, get the story, area to search and start the recovery!
About 15-20 mins I get a ring hit, look down to scan with my pin-pointer and I see a ring shaped object! I could just barely see it with the grass already covering it. It would’ve been impossible to see this one with just the naked eye!
After a few photos and “couple embraces” it’s back on her finger where it belongs to stay forever!

Received a late night text from a gentleman that lost his 14k gold wedding ring on “BALD HEAD ISLAND” on the east beach side where it meets south beach in the “tide pool” while playing with his family.
They were leaving at noon today to head back to Raleigh, so time was of the essence!
I drive down at midnight last night and hit Oak Island for about an hour and a half where a young lady had lost her wedding ring. I didn’t find her’s so I loaded up and made it to Southport ferry for the 6:00 ride over to Bald Head Island. I arrive at 6:30, was picked up by 6:45.
We headed to the opposite side of the island and walked out to the spot. The tide pool has a drop off that goes down to about 7-8 feet and if it was in there I would’ve had to come back to find it with my NEMO/NOMAD MINI.
About an hour later and ONLY getting two signals, I come up with his 14k gold wedding ring!
Happy husband and I’m sure a happy wife too! Now they can go home from vacation with a story and a priceless treasure back where it belongs!

North Topsail Beach, NC By Crystal Coast Ring Finders
Steve was spending some time in the ocean during a typical hot Summer North Carolina day. He mentioned he was swimming in about chest deep waters, jumping in the waves. A large wave hit him and he felt his ring was gone!
Steve called me just after low tide that same day and I arrived the following day to search. I found another man’s white gold band, in the ocean, a few miles away about an hour before. I started my search parallel with the shoreline working my way out into the deeper water. After finding nothing but a couple of pieces of trash, I started a vertical search. After just a couple of passes, I got a good signal. I was disappointed when I dug up a pop can tab. A few steps later in the water, my machine displayed the very same target identification. This time it was Stephen’s white gold wedding band! I walked to shore and took some pictures. Steve was about to go out with family for pizza and I sent him the photo thinking they had already left. A large number of family members and Steve and his wife poured out onto the beach with surprise and joy!

I DIDN’T EVEN TURN ON MY MACHINE!!!
Received a text message that a gentleman had lost his platinum wedding ring in his yard.
I told him I could leave in a few mins and would be there in an hour and a half.
I arrive, get my gear, meet him, we make our way to the backyard where I get the scoop.
He was skimming his pool and he was shaking his hands dry next to a black/rod iron looking fence that had a row of elephant ears growing on the pool side of the fence.
As he was showing me the direction he thought the ring went, stating it’s probably on the other side of these elephant ears. He goes to move the plants back and we look down and we both see the ring! He was like, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MY WIFE AND LOOKED ALL OVER FOR THIS RING!”
I took a couple of photos and loaded up to head back home.
Love the easy ones!

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.

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.




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.

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!
