Wedding Ring Recovered in Falls Lake

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I got a text from Jonathan, whose wife had dropped a ring over Labor Day weekend while standing in the water. Ironically, she was getting ready to go tubing and took her wedding and engagement rings off to hand them to someone in the boat for safekeeping. The engagement ring made it into the boat, but the wedding ring did not. Although the water was only about mid-thigh in depth, Falls Lake only has a foot or so of visibility even at its clearest, so spotting the ring visually was out of the question. Jonathan immediately dropped a pin on his phone to mark the spot and took pictures of the shoreline where they were. They felt around on the bottom to see if they could locate it, but the bottom was covered in sticks, leaves, mud, and small rocks, which made a « hand-search » all but impossible.

Jonathan contacted me and we made arrangements to ride over in his boat to the spot where the ring had been dropped. Although Falls Lake is relatively free of trash, it isn’t completely clean. After searching for more than an hour, I had three aluminum cans, three pull tabs, two bottle caps, a quarter, and a penny for my efforts. I felt like I had scoured the depth that Jonathan described pretty completely and decided to search a little shallower. At the new depth, I scooped up the ring in about 10 minutes. I thought Jonathan was amazed until he called his wife to tell her – she was over the moon! Definitely a happy ending to this story.

Wedding Band Lost at Emerald Isle Beach Found Months Later and Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Mike contacted Crystal Coast Ring Finders on July 8th about a wedding ring he had lost on June 24th in the ocean. I grabbed my gear and went out to search the water, but the waves were rough that day, and I couldn’t find his ring. Since he had been near a public beach access point, I checked for his ring every time I searched that area of Emerald Isle, NC. Fast forward to August 13th and many failed attempts later—I was working the low tide during a negative tide. While finding the usual coins, sinkers, and aluminum, I hit a very strong signal. A guy on the beach later said, “I saw you stop dead in your tracks!” I dug into the wet sand while watching the crashing waves, and there it was—Mike’s lost ring! I told the bystander I’d been looking for it for months. I placed the ring on my sand scoop, took a picture with the background of where Mike thought he lost it, and sent it to him with the text, “Finally.” His reply: “That’s so awesome.”

Mike and I planned to meet during Labor Day weekend, but his trip to Emerald Isle got canceled, so I mailed the ring back to him. He just received it and sent me a picture of himself with the returned ring. It’s a great feeling to know you didn’t give up and were able to recover something meaningful—not just for yourself, but for someone else too.

Barnegat Light NJ, LBI, Ring recovered on the beach with Metal Detector, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Tim was spending a sunny afternoon on a small beach along the bayside of Long Beach Island, tossing a football and enjoying time with friends. At some point, after they had finished playing, he realized his ring was missing. Everyone returned to the beach and searched for a while, but had no luck locating it in the sand. Frustrated and unsure what to do next, Tim decided to Google metal detector services, and that’s when he found my page.

He called, inquiring about the process of recovering his lost ring. I explained how it worked, and we arranged to meet at the beach shortly after. By the time I arrived, Tim was already there, eager to get started. I grabbed my machine and scoop, and we stood together while he explained the situation.

He pointed out the two main areas where they had been playing — one side of the beach near a playground, where they’d been tossing the football back and forth, and the other side where they switched after a while. There was also a slight chance it could have fallen near the water, where they had rinsed off the football, but Tim thought that was unlikely.

We began searching the first area, but all I found was a handful of trash and a few coins. After covering that section thoroughly, I moved to the other side of the beach and began tracing out a perimeter. Just a few swings into my second pass, the detector signaled that sweet low tone of gold.  I dug down and there it was — Tim’s ring safely in my scoop.

He was absolutely amazed that I found it. The wedding ring was a cherished keepsake he had worn for many decades. His relief and gratitude were clear, and it was another successful recovery on the Jersey Shore.

Lost Wedding Set Found and Returned with Help

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Havelock, NC
Jason Burleson, a member of The Ring Finders group, contacted me regarding a lost wedding set near Havelock, NC. Later, he informed me that he wasn’t feeling well and decided to refer the customers to Crystal Coast Ring Finders. After receiving the call from Josh and Patience, I headed out. Upon arrival, Josh marked the approximate location with a stick where they had set up earlier. After a few trash signals, my detector picked up a midrange target. Using only my pinpointer, I retrieved one ring from the sand and quickly located the second one about seven inches away. Josh and Patience rushed over when I showed them their recovered rings.

Lost Blue Stone Pendant in Newark, OH. “FOUND”

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

Received a call regarding a lost blue stone pendant. The caller explained that the pendant was lost while retrieving mail from her mailbox; the necklace had gotten caught in the mailbox door, causing the chain to break. She searched extensively but was unable to find it.

I met her the following day to assist in the search. Being in a rural area, there was quite a bit of debris and trash around the mailbox, which made the search more challenging. However, after a short while, I was able to locate the blue stone pendant. She was incredibly happy and relieved to have it returned.

Despite the beach and weather conditions from offshore hurricane Erin, Morganna and her husband managed to sneak in some beach time enjoying the sand with their children on the beach here in Cape May. Her husband had removed his ring and placed it in the pouch of their beach chair for safe keeping while they played in the sand with their children. After a few hours, and deteriorating weather conditions, the family packed up the crew and headed off the beach forgetting that the ring had been placed in the chair pocket. Shortly after returning to their hotel room the couple realized what had transpired and began checking the chair only to find the ring was gone. They returned to the beach to search with no success. During this time Cape May had experienced extremely rough surf and very high tides due to hurricane Erin. The next morning Morganna reached out and we made arrangements to meet on the beach. Once she led me to the general area where they were set up on the beach I began searching. After about 30 minutes of searching I had her husbands ring in the scoop. Clearly the high tide had washed over it, and given where it was found, had also moved the ring about 25 yards from where the family had been sitting. Another happy couple!
Morgannas review:
“Jeff was amazing! Such a nice guy who is willing to help anyone! Messaged him in the morning, met up with him around 9 and he found my husband’s wedding band within the hour! Despite all the rip tides and tropical storm weather he still found it!!”

I received a late night text from Lily explaining that she and her girlfriends had spent an afternoon on Sunset Beach off Alexander Ave in Cape May Point. At some point she believed that her mothers class ring, which Lily wore, had slipped out of her shorts pocket while they were on the beach. This occurred about TWO WEEKS prior to her reaching out! We chatted back and forth while I gathered some specifics about their location. Lily wasn’t sure if the ring was even there but I assured her that I would attempt to check the area regardless. The next morning I rode over to Alexander Ave and began checking the area before beach patrons arrived. With only one photograph and a text description of the area I began checking the beach. After about 25 minutes of searching I had her mothers ring in the scoop. Lily had already returned home several weeks prior so he ring was shipped back to her. Another happy client, another successful hunt!
Lily’s review of service:
“Very quick and responsive! Found my mother’s class ring that I had lost two weeks prior. He found it in the sand and sent it to me through the mail since I don’t live locally. Highly recommend!”

Received a call from Collier, Collier explained that his ring had slipped off while he was standing in knee deep surf and disappeared beneath the water. While on the phone with Collier I checked the tide chart and we planned on meeting up once the tide receded. Once the tide was down to almost low, I met Collier on the beach. Once he directed me to the general area I began checking and located his ring in about 5 minutes, much to Collier’s surprise! Another vacation saved!
Colliers review: “I lost my ring in the ocean today, and 6 hours after I lost the ring, he came and found it in 5 minutes! Incredible. Came right when he said he would, and is a very friendly guy. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lost Wedding Band Dropped on the Beach Found and Returned by Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

David shared that he had placed his phone and wedding ring in a beach bag before heading for a swim at Topsail Beach. He suspected that someone might have pulled an item from the bag, causing the ring to fall out. I arranged to meet David early the next morning to begin the search. After uncovering a few deep targets and two dimes, my XP metal detector gave a loud, solid signal outside the coin range. As David walked towards the water, I called out, « This looks promising. » Moments later, I retrieved David’s platinum wedding band from the sandy beach.
