First ring recovery 2023

  • from Whycocomagh (Nova Scotia, Canada)

Received a text from Crystal early in the new year about a lost ring over the holidays. She lost a gold ring with diamonds and emerald somewhere on the front lawn. It’s winter here in Cape Breton and the trip would take 2.5 hours one way so an immediate venture was not possible. Another weeks delay was due to a knee injury I suffered. Nonetheless, we had an unseasonably wet and rainy week which cleared the snows from her yard and today I made the trip. Took ten minutes with my Nox to get a banging 10 signal. There in a grass tuft was her beautiful ring. She was delighted to have it returned. This was my first recovery of the new year and hope for more to come. Gotta love those smiles!

Lost wedding ring recovered at Inverness Beach, Cape Breton

  • from Whycocomagh (Nova Scotia, Canada)

Less than two weeks after I became a member of TheRingFinders.com, I was able to make my first recovery at Inverness Beach today. Lost for over 24 hours in the sands, I was 37 minutes into the search when a loud signal chirped through the headphones. Two scoops later and I knew I had what I was looking for, a mens Tungsten Carbide wedding band. I quickly took a pic and sent it off to the anxious couple, who thought it surely was lost forever. Within minutes came the reply “oh that’s it! I can’t believe you found it!!”

Both Katie and Daniel were elated at the recovery. I later presented the ring to Daniels’ dad, who lived closer to me than the happy couple. Soon I should have a picture of a very happy pair with broad smiles. I will share the photo on the blog in the future.

.I was so pleased to be able to recover this ring. What a confidence boost it was to be able to locate it, given the time delay in searching, and how busy that particular beach was. Being able to make such recoveries, thanks to theringfinders.com, adds such a delight to the hobby of metal detecting.
