IPhone Lost in the Dry Sand, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

Shortly before 3 p.m. on Apr 4th, I received a call from Magen asking if I could find an IPhone on the beach. I responded I could and got additional details. I told her I could be there in about 30-40 minutes, she agreed, and I was on my way.

Magen had given me the code for the parking garage, so I had a place to park when I got there. I met Magen by the hotel pool, and we walked to the beach. On the way, Magen told me her 11-year-old daughter had been making sandcastles and had laid her phone on the sand. At some point they realized the phone had disappeared.  Magen knew the area where it was lost. She said they had actually drugged their feet through the area trying to find the phone. I started the search a little south and after a few lines, Magen moved me a little further north. I hadn’t gotten a description of the phone, figuring it was probably the only phone that’d be out there. At some point and unknowingly, my phone fell off my hip. As I’m searching, a young man came up behind me and asked if I was looking for a phone. I said I was, and he handed me a phone he just found. Well, not paying a lot of attention to the phone, I asked Magen If it was her daughter’s phone. When she said “no”, I realized I was holding my own phone. To say I was totally embarrassed is an understatement!!! After a couple more grid lines, I hit her daughter’s phone buried under a few inches of sand. A dance competition weekend saved.

Magen – Thanks for allowing me to help find your daughter’s IPhone. Hope you all have a great weekend and her team does great.

A Love Ring’s Journey: A Beach Recovery Story

The waves lapped gently at the Ocean City shoreline as Ken made his way to the water’s edge. It was supposed to be a perfect weekend getaway with his girlfriend, soaking up the New Jersey sun and salt air. But sometimes life has other plans.

Ken had just wanted to rinse the stubborn beach sand from his hands. A simple task — until he felt that heart-stopping moment when his Cartier LOVE ring, usually snug on his finger, wasn’t there anymore. The panic set in immediately.

The couple spent frantic minutes sifting through the sand, their romantic afternoon turning into an increasingly desperate search. The ring could have been anywhere: in the soft sand where they’d been sitting, or worse, pulled away by the ocean’s persistent tide.

That’s when they remembered hearing about Ring Finders South Jersey, finding lost rings in Ocean City, New Jersey. One phone call later, help was on the way.

Within fifteen minutes, their metal-detecting expert arrived, ready to tackle the search. The first sweep of the ocean proved fruitless, but experience had taught him not to give up so easily. Moving back to where the couple had been lounging earlier, it took just a few passes with the detector. The gleaming Cartier ring appeared in the scoop, safe and sound.

What could have been a weekend remembered for loss became a story of relief and gratitude. The couple’s smiles said it all: sometimes the best moments are not the ones we plan. The ones where things work out just when we need them to.

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

Lost ring found after two years!

  • from Ham Lake (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

This turned out to be too good to be true, a ring was lost during a Dr. visit in a parking lot two years ago! I was asked to search the premises but wouldn’t do it until I had permission! A phone call was made the ring was found and held waiting for the rightful owned to claim it! Doing the right thing pays off even if we aren’t the one that found it. The owner is elated but preferred to not be photographed.

Lost cell phone found at White Rock Pier

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your Jewellery, cell phone, keys… don’t wait till it’s too late call/24/7  Chris- 778-838-3463

Cell phones…We live on them now and they are crazy expensive. Most of us have them insured bot if you don’t have the phone you dot get a replacement, for us, Canadians AppleCare does not include lost or stolen however, if you go through your provider, most cases, they will offer you lost or stolen for an extra fee. I have mine insured that way because mine cost a lot of money… I think next year I’m going to lease my phone

I was detecting at White Rock beach and I found a phone I put it in my pocket when I got home I cleaned it up took the SIM card out put it in my iPhone and was able to get a contact number off that phone. This phone belong to a young lady and the mother explained how important it was to get it back because without it their plan would cancel for some reason they needed the SIM card. I’ve returned a lot of phones because I know how to retrieve the numbers from them. I still have a lot of phones that haven’t been claimed. Maybe people were on holidays here and just gave up..

This is the young ladies uncle who picked up the phone…

Lost White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring- Found in Grove City, PA by Metal Detecting Specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I received a text from Madeleine that she had lost her ring is a pasture while building fence. I asked her to give me a call and she provided me with some more information and as luck would have it I was able to head out right away. During our initial conversation she asked me if I ate meat and told me her family had a cattle farm and she would bring me some steaks. So when I was packing up my gear I threw a small cooler in the back, more about that in a bit… About an hour and a half later I met her at the farm where she lost the ring. I looked at the sprawling pastures where she said they had put in about 60 acres or so of fencing. At that point I thought to myself, I am going to be here a while…lol! We talked a bit and I got a few additional bits of information. She had put her ring in her vest pocket with the control for her dog and only removed it from her pocket in two spots and we both thought that logically those could be the places where the ring dropped out. She has also bought a metal detector and walked the fence line but did not check the area where they were working initially. So Madeleine handed me my call out fee and two awesome looking steaks that I deposited in the cooler. She headed out and I started to work.

I started griding the area where they were working with the skid loader.  Back and forth I found a few nails, shell casings and smal random pieces of metal. I had gotten a few good sounds but no ring. Then I got another hit and checked again with my pinpointer…nice steady tone on the top. I parted the grass and there was the ring. It had been about 20 minutes to a half hour. I sent Madeleine a text…hope that you haven’t made it too far, with a picture of the ring and jokingly asking if this was hers. However the cell service was terrible and only the first text made it through before my phone rang. She asked what as up and I said oh you only got my first text and then the others came through with the picture and her response – Yes that’s it! We talked for a few minutes about arrangements for her to get the ring and now that the hard work was done I asked her about the old farm house down the road. As anyone who metal detects knows old farm houses are pretty high on the bucket list as permissions and they can be hard to get. So I inquired if I could look around for a bit before heading back down Interstate 79 and I would drop her ring off. She gave me permission but wanted to come up and get the ring as soon as she could. I met her at the old farm house and as you can see from the picture she was smiling as soon as she pulled in. I was happy to have found her ring, especially as quickly as I did and return it. It was a pleasure to meet and help another kind and extremely generous client!

In case you were wondering, I did not find anything other than a few clad coins at the old farm house but the opportunity was awesome. And after doing some research I found out the signifcance of the “steaks”. Madeleine’s family has a wagyu beef farm. To me at the time it did not mean much – the steaks looked great…however after checking things out I now know the significance of wagyu beef (if you don’t know what it is…look it up) and WOW! So while it has been a really busy weekend and I have not had the opportunity to grill up those steak I am really looking forward to doing so and VERY MUCH appreciate the added bonus and generosity!

Wedding Ring Recovery in a Palo Alto Park

  • from Santa Cruz (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Chris contacted me looking to get the ball rolling with Ring Finders because he had lost his wedding band in a park.  The situation he described is all too common: he had taken his ring off and put it on a carabiner for safe keeping before playing sports.  He remembered putting it on the carabiner along with a water bottle and he remembered having this assembly in tact when he left the field, but when he was back in the car and getting ready to leave he realized his ring was missing.  So Chris reasoned that it was either in the car or on the field, and he decided to make one more search of his car before bringing me in for some assistance after his search proved unsuccessful.  I was pretty confident we would find his ring based on Chris’ prior search and the clarity with which he described what happened.

He and his wife met me at the park this morning and reiterated what he did and the path he took to and from the car.  He also revealed to me that he and some friends had previously searched the area both by eye and with a metal detector.  We agreed to thoroughly search the beginning and end points of his path and to search the path he took if we didn’t find anything at the endpoints.  Our search was starting to get a little longer than expected, to the point where I felt it was a good idea to change to a smaller coil with better target separation and also use slightly different settings on my metal detector that audibly accentuated surface targets.  I was pulling up a fair amount of trash, and at one point even a junk stainless ring!

During my slow grid back to the start point, on the path that Chris took, I hit a very solid signal that was clearly right on the surface.  And sure enough it was sitting right at the base of the grass, just hidden in the green and gold background.  Chris and his wife were in disbelief when I exclaimed, “I got it dude!”, as it seemed their hope was waning due to the prolonged search they had been through.  We were all thrilled that our thorough search proved fruitful in the end.
