It was a beautiful afternoon at the Jersey Shore when Bill and Barb decided to spend the day on the beach in Surf City LBI. They were in town for a wedding and decided to soak up some rays when things went wrong. Barb had placed her wedding ring in the side pouch of their beach bag, and a little while later Bill needed a napkin for his hands. Not aware of the rings presence, he pulled out a napkin, and the ring obviously came out with it. He knew about my NJ Ring Finder service on LBI, and quickly reached out to see if I could assist in recovering the ring. Obviously I shot right down to his Surf City location ASAP, and after getting the details, within minutes their precious ring was in my scoop.

Keys Lost On Surf City,NC Beach Found So Owner Didn’t Need To Sleep In Car

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Andrew placed his keys on the beach and then placed his shoes over them to mark the spot while he walked the Surf City, NC shoreline.  Upon returning, he grabbed his shoes and headed to his car.  It was about 5:30pm when he realized his keys were now buried in an unmarked location.  Andrew notified me of the lost keys at 7:49 and the tide was coming in.  Unfortunately, I was busy planning a trip out of state and reached out to some trusted friends.  I explained to Andrew of the situation and he was planning to sleep in his car until morning when he could contact a locksmith to make a key to allow him to drive home to Fayetteville, NC.  One of my friends finally came through and headed to find Andrew’s keys.  At 10:15pm I received the above picture of Andrew holding his keys.  They were found in the surf and although wet,  the key fob still worked for him.

Gold Ring Lost Body Surfing At Surf City Found And Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Jack sent me a text message early Saturday morning asking if I could help find his lost ring.  Jack explained to me he was body surfing Wednesday afternoon when the ring slid off of his finger.  He felt the tide was High during that time and the ring would be found in the wet sand.  Upon arrival, Jack led me to the beach and pointed out the boundaries he believed the ring was within and the search began parallel to the water from high to low.  After a few passes, only 1 dime was found.  I eventually made it to where the surf was rolling in over the beach.  This isn’t much of a problem, it just slows the search process.  Finally, I received a strong signal on my metal detector and my deep & wide scoop went to work and pulled out a large amount of sand containing Jack’s ring.  Jack was working on the other side of the home and didn’t understand why I returned so soon.  He and his family couldn’t believe his ring was found so quickly.

Lost for 50 Years a St. John’s Class Ring Finds Its Owner

Last month Kevin sent me a picture of his class ring he has not been able to wear since 1965!  Detecting with a friend at Surf City pier I was able to find Kevin’s class ring.  Because it had been lost so long, I had some trouble reading the inscription and also finding the correct owner.  I finally was able to reach out to the university he attended with what I thought was the initials and last name.  The office contacted Kevin and he called me the very next day.  St. John’s university thought it was story worthy!
