Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

Date Lost:  August 18,  Date Notified: August 21,  Ring Recovered & Returned: August 22

Parker explains this situation very well:

“On August 18th I lost my ring at Atlantic Beach. I am a Youth Pastor in Rocky Mount, NC and took a beach day with the youth group. While throwing football with some of the kids I looked down to my great displeasure that my wedding ring had slipped off my finger. You would be surprised how many things at the beach look like a wedding ring! After much looking and frustration I left a defeated man. However Steven Ray, found it with a metal detector in ankle deep water 7 inches under the sand 4 days after I lost it! So here I am at the beach on August 22nd, way too late picking my wedding ring. Whatever you are going through that seems all a loss remember, there is a God who can do exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or imagine. PS, guys get your ring sized correctly when you get married. #praiseGod

Mike S. called me late Sunday evening asking if I could find a diamond ring in about 5 feet of water that His wife, Beth, accidentally dropped off her finger while untangling the tubing ropes. She was holding the ring on her finger for a family friend, Megan P, who didn’t want to loose it while tubing. Dave Boyer, my Ring Finder partner, drove 40 miles North to Hess lake Monday morning and met Patrice P. who showed us the area that she thought the ring was lost. Patrice had been riding in the boat as the kids were tubing so she was sure about the area. Dave and I searched the lake in a triangle shaped area about half the size of a football field. The lake had zero visibility at the bottom because of the silt that was knocked around as we swung or detectors. There were dozens of hits but after 4 hours we gave up the search and said we would come back. I called Mike and asked him if he could meet us at the cottage the next day and reenact what had taken place. Mike agreed and said he would cook up some hot dogs and hamburgers for us.  We got up to the cottage and added another Ring Finder, Fred Johnson (Fred was going to be our ringer). It was around 4 PM so we got into the water and started our search. Mike backed the boat out and showed us how things went and that gave us a different perspective of an area that we had not searched. After an hour we still had nothing to show for our efforts so I started to search an area that we looked at yesterday and got a pretty good hit but was searching in a large hole that was dug the day before. I dug about three large scoops and checked in my scoop after clearing away decayed wood chips and a glob of sand, there it was. Mike was sitting on the dock and Dave and Fred was still searching and I started walking towards the dock and asked Mike if we could have those hot dogs and hamburgers (like I was giving up). Mike said “sure let me fire up the grill” and then I said is this the ring?  Mike was so happy he couldn’t believe it, he immediately got on his phone and said “they found it”!

Mike started up the grill, the food and conversation was great and stories were exchanged and pictures taken. I am happy for Megan, she got her ring back and happy for Beth to be relieved of such an unfortunate accident. Have a great Labor Day everyone!

Getting the word out about the Ring Finders website works great!

Jay and his fiancé Michelle visited Minnesota from New Mexico back in July. While here, they visited friends on Cedar lake and went for a swim. After the swim, Michelle noticed her White Gold / Diamond engagement ring was not on her finger. Jay went to Minneapolis Metal Detectors and rented an underwater detector. He pulled out a few targets, though he couldn’t find the ring. As he was returning the metal detector, the shop owner gave him the website of the “Ring Finders” – (I was actually in his shop early this spring and gave him a card). Jay contacted me from New Mexico a month and half later as he kept thinking there is really no chance of recovery. He finally decided to give the ring finders a try. After Jay described the conditions of the lake. Muck bottom, very weedy and no visibility at all – I decided to use scuba instead of walking with a scoop. The ring was in waist to neck deep water and scooping could be difficult. Scuba provides guaranteed recovery of every target and it’s much quicker. It took me approx. 1 hour and I found the beautiful ring – See Pic’s! 🙂

Glad I could help out Michelle and Jay – Hope you have a long and happy Marriage!!!

I got a call from a young man Friday evening and the call kinda went like this…I found you on TheRingFinders.com and my friend lost his wedding band while taking wedding photo’s at a river in South Surrey…Do you think you can help?

I said sure thing and we discussed the time and day we’d go look for it. I was hoping we could take a look on Saturday but they would still be celebrating their big day.

That was good because I had a search for a 3 carat diamond ring that was dropped out of an apartment building 44 floors up ($5000 reward) unfortunately there was only about a 5% chance of finding that ring because it was a concrete jungle all around the area it was dropped.

I met up this afternoon with Sunny and his friend Sandy and they showed me where the ring was lost…I was surprised to see that it was lost off a dock! I thought it was close to the shore. Fortunately the tide was low and I was able to get into the water very close to the ring.

I received a good signal 6 feet or so under the dock and it was hard to try and dig the target so what I did was scoop towards me and after 10 minutes I found his beautiful ring!!!

I told him I was going to get out of the water and get another metal detector from my car,  but instead I presented him with his ring! I love the reactions!

I wish I could do this all day long and help others who need this service!!

Thanks for watching!
