I was detecting on the beach when a man approached me and said his wife lost her ring out in the surf. I got right to work but the ring was nowhere to be found. I ended up griding a larger searc area before I found it. Another smile created!
It is amazing how fast a gold ring can get lost in the sand. This young man was on the way to rent a metal detector when he called me. He had lost his wedding ring in a rather small area but could not find it. It took about 5 minutes!
This newlywed lost his wedding ring out in the water and had given up hope. Many people think a ring lost out in the ocean is a lost cause. This one took about 15 minutes!!
A young couple went to the ocean to do a beautiful engagement photo shoot. All was going well until her hand accidentally got hit and the ring flew off in the water. The photo shoot was over! They found me on the web and gave me the location on a map that it was lost at. I went down and gridded the area until I found it. I did not tell her I found it and surprised her at her house. I love my job!
I was detecting in the water when A man came up to me and said he lost his ring out in neck deep water at low tide. The tide had come up and I was not able to get out deep enough. I came back the next day and went out neck deep and got a good hit. Digging in that deep water is tough. Your body is basically floating and you cant get weight on the scoop. You have to hit the scoop with your foot. It took a while but I was finally able to recover the ring!
I got a call about a BIG gold chain lost in the ocean! I immediately went down to meet the owner. He was not sure when it came off so the search area was 1 block log and foot deep to waist deep water. I searched with no luck. I returned 3 more times on low tide and on the last trip I got a signal right at the water line! Bam! We got it and gave the owner a facetime call to let him know!
It was a muddy rescue! A very unique recovery late yesterday evening. Got a call about a wallet and keys being dropped off of a pier. I checked the depth and it was only 3 feet but when I jumped in the water I went up to my knees in soft muck! I used a rope to hold on to while leaning to search. Pulled out an old crab pot and lots of mud looking for it. The pier had metal all around the bottom making detecting hard to do. After I gave up on detecting I started reaching down around the metal on the bottom around the pier. I first pulled up a cell phone and some other junk but then I pulled up the wallet and did not know I had found the right thing until I heard the owner screaming!
I got a call from Michael up in New Jersey. He lost his gold wedding band last Friday at a local beach and just realized today that there are ring finding services out there! He put a circle on a map to give me an idea where it was lost. I knew my daylight time was limited. I started gridding the area off. The first grid did not produce so I started a second grid a little further away and BAM! We gave him a facetime call to let him know! I got it back to him!
This was a tough one! I only received a dot on a map of where the ring was lost and it was in the water! Gridding in the water can be tough. It did take a while but I finally got a faint signal and out came the ring. The marriage is saved!
He is out of the Doghouse in Sandbridge VA! They put their wedding rings in the back of a zippered beach chair but forgot to zip it up. They did not realize they were missing until they got back home. They called me and I came out and started gridding the area. The first one was found about 10 feet away from where they thought and the second one about 3 feet from that. Glad to get them back to them.
