Lost – MEN’S 10K WHITE GOLD WEDDING BAND, NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL – FOUND!!!
Monday around 6pm, I had just returned from the beach when I got a call from Muru. He explained that he and his wife Courtney had been to the beach on Saturday, and he had lost his 10k white gold wedding ring. He said that his wife Courtney found me on the internet and wanted to know if I could look for the ring.
He told me that he had lost it in shallow water and at the steps leading down from the parking meter. I decided to go right back to the beach right away to search. I fired up the Manticore and did an extensive grid search. I checked both dry sand and water and did not find the ring.
On Tuesday I decided to go back when the tide was at the exact same height as it was when Muru lost the ring. If anything, the ring should be in dry sand since on Saturday the surf was up due to a passing storm. In addition, Muru had sent me an image and he was North of most of my efforts Monday.
I started a slow and methodical search. Twenty minutes into the search I got a strong gold-like hit. I dug the target and the shine of the ring shown out of the clump of sand. The ring that was lost was found and given back to Muru and his family later that day.

It was another fantastic day in New Jersey so Denise and her family decided to pack up and head to the beach. Denise’s nephew loves the beach, especially flying kites when the wind is just right. Prior to flying the kite, she removed her necklace and engagement ring. Denise slipped the necklace through her ring and secured the clasp, then placed them both in her top pocket for safe keeping. They both had ran all over the soft white sand, almost covering the entire block, well about 2/3 of it anyhow. It was later on when she looked in the pocket and , OH NO, both were missing. Everyone searched the area for quite some time when they decided a metal detector was needed. They headed down to the local store and purchased one, figuring the necklace would soon be located. Well, unfortunately that did not work, so they decided to call in a professional. Once I arrived and got all the details, I covered the entire area where they were flying the kite, figuring that was the most likely area they would have fallen out of her top pocket. With nothing to show for my effort, we decided the next most traveled area was the top of the tide line, and down a bit to the low tide mark. After a few passes, I asked them to move back a little, and sure enough, very close to the chairs, was the spot my metal detector sniffed out the ring and necklace. Everyone was totally amazed, and the best I can figure, either the necklace never made it into her top pocket, or coincidently it fell out right in the area they had set up the chairs and stuff. Regardless another happy ending !!!!
On a nice hot day Anton and his family were enjoying the day on at beach. This can be some of the most sought after relaxation one could ask for after a long day at work. And while people are on the beach there are many things they will do like , swimming, running, relaxing, picnicking, throwing footballs, volley ball, wrestling, etc. OH NO did I say wrestling ? That’s when things went wrong for Anton. In one of the 3 areas he was wrestling around that day his cherished cross was pulled from his necklace and lost in the sand. They searched for a few hours, even with their metal detector, without any luck. That’s when Nicole decided to give me a call to see if I was available to locate the cross. I met them on the beach a little while later and they showed me everything that transpired up to realizing the cross was missing. I started in the most likely spot and within a few moments I had his cross in my scoop. Another fantastic ending to a great day on the Jersey Shore.
