Jeff contacted Emerald Isle Metal Detecting Thursday morning regarding his lost wedding band.  Jeff stated he was near the water’s edge at the time of the loss. During the time of loss another man had found the ring in the water but lost it again in the waves.  I contacted Jeff and we made arrangements to meet just minutes after contact.  I started my search while Jeff set up beach items for his family to enjoy their day in the sun.  Jeff was keen to mark where the man dropped the ring in the surf with a stationary object and this was very helpful.  Within minutes and my 3rd target dug, I found Jeff ring that was sitting on the beach for 4 days.

Jeff Story:

My first day on the Emerald Isle beach I put on tons of suntan lotion and went to throw a ball at the water’s edge. After finishing I went to get a drink of water and noticed my wedding ring was missing.  I went back to look for it but couldn’t find it. After 4 days searching, I contacted Steve before leaving town.  He was responsive, professional and available to search the morning I contacted him. After referencing the tide pattern, he found my ring under about a foot of sand within 30 minutes of starting his grid search.  I was surprised how quickly he was able to find it, but greatly relieved and pleased the search was successful.  Jeff 

Megan contacted me Tuesday afternoon in regards to her wedding ring she lost in the ocean surf Saturday afternoon.  She had stated that she happened to be searching the internet and found an add I placed on Craigslist for jewelry recovery.  A storm was in the area that afternoon/evening so we agreed to begin the search at dawn.  I began the search at dawn and was first unsucessful because of the strong waves.  I drove an hour back to my home and returned a couple of hours later to resume the search.  While covering the beach for hours, I walked around a group of 3 sand castles as I didn’t want to disturb someone’s creations.  I later came back to the sand castles and very carefully worked my detector around the 3 structures and got the tone I had been searching to find for hours.  The first carefully scooped out sand pile surrendered Megan’s ring!

Megan W. story:

“After helping my toddler with boogie boarding on the beach I noticed that my wedding ring was no longer on my finger. We searched the beach behind our vacation rental for three days with no luck. Then I found Steven Ray’s Ringfinder website. He came at first light the following day and after about four hours of searching and a second trip to the rental house he found it!”

 

If you lose your ring or other metal item of value, don’t buy a metal detector or rent a metal detector, but call one of the members of this directory. Look at the different metal detecting Ring Finder blogs and read their success stories, then call them ASAP, and they will work hard for you to find what you thought might never be found again.

The overwhelming satisfaction with returning a cherished lost item to someone is something everyone should experience at least once in their life.  For me the thrill of enjoying my hobby, getting a little exercise and helping strangers at the same time is very fulfilling!  Once I find their item, it is as if we were long lost friends as they are so grateful and relieved at the same time.

 

…for these reasons, I have joined The Ring Finders.

 

 

During the Summer of 2012 I was down from Ohio helping my lady friend take care of her terminally ill father.  We would spend time on the beaches of Emerald Isle, NC to destress.  One particular day I was bored just sitting in the sand and noticed a man wading in shallow water with his metal detector.  I immediately knew this was something I would enjoy.  After our talk, I shortly afterwards ordered my first land/water detector.  The Tesoro Sand Shark is a great machine for beach & water but I soon found out a lot of public used land contains numerous metal items and the Sand Shark will make me dig all of them.  Last Summer I purchased one of the best detectors on the market and it works very well on sand and dry land.  Now I have all areas covered to 4 foot of water!  

Please give me a call as soon as possible anytime of anyday so I can hopefully help you find your lost item!  Why not take a chance that an event that you may remember the rest of your life has a very happy ending?

I look forward to granting your wishes!
