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.

I was contacted today by a man and his fiancée.  They were traveling near a road when the ring fell off of her hand and landed in the grass somewhere near the road.  They felt they had a pretty good idea of where the ring had ended up and after about 30 minutes of searching, the ring was located about 20ft outside of their original search zone.

 

Got an e-mail from Sean stating he lost his wedding ring three days ago while swimming in waist deep water.  Gregg Larabel and I set out to Holland later that evening when the swimming crowd thins out to search for the ring.

Thanks to Sean’s accurate instructions, it took me only about thirty minutes to find his ring, and while we were looking for it Gregg found a big stainless steel ring -no ID inside the ring.  Sean was not at the beach with us, so today he and I met halfway between our homes to deliver the ring to him.  Sean’s whole family came, his wife and three little boys, and everybody was happy that Dad’s ring was back on his finger.
