Lost Necklace And Custom Gold Wedding Band Returned With Help

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Randy called me one evening to say he placed his ring & necklace in his beach chair before heading out for one last swim before going out to eat.  He folded up the chair and ran back to the beach house and then realized he didn’t have his jewelry.  Upon arrival, Randy gave me a quick description of where he walked back to the house (across a very wide area of the beach) and back to the area he felt he had the chair set up.  It was getting dark quickly and it was very hard to determine the exact location.  I performed a grid search that evening and made a few hikes to the house and back to the high tide line.  It was getting late and I was only finding trash so I called it for that evening.  Fortunately, I keep track of where I walked, with an online application,  and use this to return to search again if needed.

The next couple of days I wasn’t able to get back to try again.  Two days after Randy phoned me, a young honest lady (Amber) asked if I knew of anyone that lost a gold ring near The Point (Emerald Isle)?  I told her I was searching for a ring & necklace in that area.  She mentioned her little sister Alayna found the ring while searching for seashells.  She shared the picture of the custom ring with me. I asked Randy about his ring and he described it perfectly!  We had a match!  I knew the necklace must have been nearby.  I asked Amber where the ring came from and she mentioned just above the high tide line.  I headed back out at daybreak because the heat each day was too much for me to be walking in the hot sand with no shade.  I expanded my original search area and was within inches the 1st night of finding both.  I hit a very clean signal and one scoop into the sand I was able to pull Randy’s gold chain with a golden cross.  It was a fantastic feeling to know WE found both his wedding ring and his necklace!  I am so glad Amber and Alayna knew about Crystal Coast Ring Finders.

Lost Wedding Ring In The Ocean Found And Returned – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Crystal Coast Ring Finders – Emerald Isle, NC

Victor called me on a recommendation.  He stated he lost his wedding band of 3 years while enjoying the ocean.  I made plans to hunt before the next low tide (12:15 a.m.) and that was very late so I said there may be a chance it’s on the beach so I began searching just after 10:30.

Victor and his friends and family had gathered above the location and they knew just where Victor’s custom made gold band was lost.

I started my grid search well above the current tide and progressed down to the waves rolling onto the beach.  Just as I my boots were getting wet and the grid lines in the sand were being washed away, I hit a very strong signal.  Being that the ring was large, my detector screen displayed the high end of what a gold ring would signal.  One scoop into the sand and the following wave cleared out the sand.  I peaked inside and saw that beautiful golden circle!  I walked up to the group who had phones and lights running and let the ring roll out of the sand scoop in front of them.  It was a great feeling watching them celebrate the recovery!

Gold Wedding Band Lost During Emerald Isle Beach Trip Found Off Beach

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

David gave Crystal Coast Ring Finders a call just before dark.  He stated he went to the beach and upon returning to his home, noticed his wedding band, he never removes, was gone.  David asked if I wanted to search the following day and I asked if he was near a public access on the beach.  I was worried with the popularity of metal detecting, someone would find the ring before morning.  David said yes it was near a public place so I said I would get there as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, I picked up David and we rode closer to the beach access.  David showed me where he parked his golf cart then grabbed a chair and a cooler and headed to the beach. I noticed there were about 5 vehicles parked.  We arrived at the place where he was sitting and a small group was nearby for a sea turtle hatch about to happen.  Fortunately, David was sitting far enough away I was able to search all around where he was sitting.  Nothing but trash was found during the beach search and I also searched the sand up to the steps leading to the street.  After a very thorough search, we returned to the parking area where it was now very dark and a vehicle was now in the area David’s golf cart was earlier that day.  I turned my headlamp on high beam and started to search around the vehicle.  I was looking for the bright reflection of the light beam on David’s ring.  Finally moving the back of the vehicle, and close to David, I spotted his ring laying in the street edge.  David was very relieved after snatching it up from the road.

I told him earlier, “I hate when I can’t find it!”.

Lost Platinum 2-Piece Mountain Ring Found And Quickly Returned – Pine Knoll Shores

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS:
Alex called to ask for assistance to locate Allison’s ring that was dropped on the beach.
The couple was attending a reunion of family members from various states. Allison was showing her grandmother the unique 2-piece ring when it was dropped and buried into the sand. Upon arrival, and between bursts of rain, I noticed they had marked a very small search area and with 4-5 swings of my detector coil I hit a very solid signal. I told them before uncovering the ring “I think this is it”. Using my pinpointer to find the exact location, I pulled up a handful of sand with Allison’s platinum ring. They were all heading back home the following day.

Brandon called me to say just after proposing to his now fiancée Pacie, she had lost the engagement ring. Pacie explained she was using her hands while talking and didn’t realize the ring was missing until shortly afterwards.
I arrived a few minutes after the call and went to work after the search area was explained to me. It only took 1 pass until I received a very solid signal on my detector.

While applying sunscreen, Tindra noticed that the clasp on her necklace had come undone, causing her charms to fall into the soft sand below. Tindra managed to locate one of the before my arrival. Since she knew the general area to search, the recovery of the final charm was swift, and Tindra expressed great gratitude.

Tindra explained:  “The charms are family heirlooms from my family in Sweden.  They’re gifted to babies when they’re born and one of my charms is over 100 years old.  The “T” that I lost was from my Grandpa and gifted to me when I was a baby”

Lost Heirloom Gold Necklace Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders Metal Detector Service – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Morgan was spending time with his family in Emerald Isle.  While on the beach, Morgan decided to go surfing with his brother and removed his necklace before heading out into the surf.  Upon returning, he had forgot about the necklace and packed up quickly and left the beach.  Morgan stated he and 12 other people searched for 3 hours that same evening and he came back the following morning to search for 2 additional hours and could not find his lost heirloom necklace.  Morgan reached out to me later that morning and I arrived shortly afterwards to meet Morgan’s father.  Morgan needed to get back home (out of town) and his father showed me the search area on the beach.  It took me less than 30 minutes to pull Morgan’s lost necklace from the high tide line of the beach.  This was a very memorable recovery and everyone involved was so thankful.  (Morgan’s father in the recovery photo)

Gold Necklace Pendant Lost From Broken Chain Found In Pine Knoll Shores, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Jim was walking along a wooden pathway near the Pine Knoll Shores coastline and stopped to stretch his aching back.  While bending over the railing to stretch out his muscles.  As he raised up, his gold necklace snagged part of the railing.  This caused his sentimental gold cross to fall about ten feet into the shrubbery and sand below.  Jim had a couple of guys go in and look for the missing cross unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.  One of the nice gentlemen, reached out to Crystal Coast Ring Finders to see if a metal detector would locate the lost gold.

Because of scheduling conflicts and weather conditions, the search was postponed for a few days.  I met Jim in the morning and he showed me the location.  This was a difficult area to even squeeze into for searching and once I arrived below the railing, I began my search using my metal detector as well as my Garrett hand held pinpointer.  I came across many nails, screws and some fencing wire during the search and eventually worked my way down hill to where the men, who searched previously before me,  had worked some of the sand into a pile.  This was below the obvious area just below the railing.  A few passes with my detector showed more nails and then a very good signal.   After I grabbed a handful of the sand & debris, I spotted a very dirty golden cross in the pile.  I met Jim at my truck and he declined having his picture taken so you see a picture of me after a very dirty, sweaty search.

LOST WEDDING RING DROPPED FROM TRUCK ONTO BEACH SAND FOUND – EMERALD ISLE, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Bobbie-Jo had removed her wedding rings to apply lotion before a day on the beach. She was distracted and forgot to put the rings back on before leaving the truck that had parked on the Emerald Isle coastline. About an hour later, she realized they were not on her finger. They tried to search the sand for the rings and were not successful but knew the approximate area she left the truck. Bobbie-Jo remembered Crystal Coast Ring Finders being shared on a local Facebook group and she contacted me for assistance. I was in Ohio (which I spend months during the winter). I told her I knew some trustworthy friends that help while I am away. My friend Greg was the first to respond and headed towards Bobbie-Jo’s location very quickly. Greg said it was during his second pass his Minelab 700 sounded off and he had found the missing ring. It seems with teamwork it made for a great recovery
