Was able to help this newlywed couple find the fellow’s platinum wedding band. On Twin Lakes beach near the “Crows Nest”. 
He’d lost it while tossing a football around. It was immediately “swallowed” by the dry sand. Glad I could help you guys. Thanx for the tip ! 
Lost Wedding Ring found!
It all started with a missed call from Jack. He reached out to me on behalf of his wife, Aly, who had lost her wedding ring at the shoreline the previous evening. As a Ring Finder, every call is an opportunity to help restore something truly precious—and I was determined to help.
Jack provided me with detailed photos and described where he thought the ring had slipped off Aly’s finger. Based on his information, I planned to search at first light, when the tide and beach would be at their quietest.
At sunrise, I arrived at the beach, fired up my XP Deus 2 metal detector, and began to grid the sand systematically. After a while, I started to unearth several fishing weights—common clutter in beach hunting. Suddenly, my detector coil died. My heart sank for a moment, but I hustled back to my truck, hoping I had a spare. Luckily, I found an extra coil, swapped it out, and got back to work.
Returning to the search area, I continued gridding carefully. After a few more targets, I dug out another fishing weight. I rechecked the hole, and the detector sang once more. As I lifted my scoop, there it was—a beautiful ring gleaming in the morning sun!
There was no one else around on the beach, so I headed back to my truck, eager to call Jack with the good news. But wouldn’t you know it—my phone had died, too! I plugged it in to charge, and as soon as it powered on, I texted Jack to let him know the ring had been found.
Jack met me at the beach a little while later. I handed Aly’s beautiful wedding ring back to him—safe, sound, and sparkling.
Thank you, Jack and Aly, for allowing me to be a part of this special recovery. Returning lost items is always rewarding, but it’s even more meaningful when it’s something as precious as a wedding ring.

Training the Next Generation: Crime Scene Metal Detector Course in New Jersey
I recently had the opportunity to travel to New Jersey to teach a specialized Crime Scene Metal Detector Operations course through TRITECH Forensics, hosted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
The class brought together a dedicated group of professionals—investigators and crime scene technicians from both the prosecutor’s office and surrounding law enforcement agencies. Their shared mission: to sharpen their skills and expand their capabilities in metal detector use at crime scenes.
Over the course of the training, we focused heavily on the practical application of metal detectors for evidence recovery, with a strong emphasis on locating spent shell casings—an often critical piece of evidence in shooting investigations.
From understanding search patterns and detector tones to mastering real-world recovery techniques, participants engaged hands-on in exercises designed to simulate crime scene conditions. By the end of the course, they not only gained new technical skills but also a deeper appreciation for the role metal detecting can play in building stronger, evidence-based cases.
It was an honor to work alongside such motivated professionals and to contribute to the evolving standards of crime scene investigations.

Lost Ring Recovered in Waimānalo!
I recently called Joe and while in conversation Joe let me know about a lost ring that’s in the water at Waimānalo Beach. Joe had already searched the beach area—combing through the beach and wet sand—but didn’t go out into the surf as it was like a washer machine and would of made it impossible to search in the water. Joe asked if I would give it a shot, and I gladly accepted.
After gathering all the details and adjusting my work schedule, I made the trip over the mountains to beautiful Waimānalo. Once there, I located the general area where Gabby believed the ring had been lost. I powered up my XP Deus II and started grid searching the area.
After multiple passes and a solid effort against the choppy surf, I began to think the ring might not be where she initially suspected. I pushed into deeper waters, hoping for better luck. Soon enough, I picked up a signal and dug—only to pull up a pull tab. Not giving up, I scanned the hole again and got another tone. I dug once more, and this time, sitting inside my extreme scoop was a stunning diamond ring!
Excited, I contacted Gabby right away. She was thrilled and verified the ring—it was hers! Later that evening, we met up at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, where I returned the ring. There were big smiles, relief, and a lot of joy.
It’s always an honor to help recover something so precious. Thank you, Gabby and Joe, for trusting me to help bring it back home.

Kendall was attending a horse riding show as a participant in Marion County Florida when in her rush to comb out her horse’s tail she lost a very precious ring that her loving father had given her when she was 16 years old. She actually felt her ring slip off but it landed in the sawdust covered horse stall and it immediately disappeared. But she was in a hurry and did not want to be late for her showing and thought that when she was finished she would find her lost ring. After her ride she returned to the stall and began looking through the saw dust and horse manure but for all her efforts she was unable to find her lost gold ring! She posted her dilemma on Facebook and someone sent her my name and said “Call Mike…he will help you!”. So later that day I met Kendall and was able to find her lost ring which was mixed in quite well with all the sawdust and horse chips.
Thank you Kendall for calling and trusting me to find your precious lost ring…it truly was my honor and privilege!

Last night I received a text message about 12:20 am from Savannah saying, “Hello, my husband and I are at North Myrtle Beach, and we were out this afternoon taking family pictures with our children and got stuck in a really bad storm and as we were running off the beach my husband’s ring flew off. I was wondering if you guys helped find rings or if you knew someone that could. We know the area it fell off but think sand is over it due to how bad the wind was.” I immediately responded asking her to call me, which she did. I got a few more details and told her I could be there in about 10 minutes. She agreed, so I grabbed 2 detectors and headed out. I don’t like to leave a ring on the beach for too long. There’s so many locals and tourist that metal detect all hours of the day/night depending on the tides. So, there’s always a chance a ring will be found and kept by the finder.
I arrived at the location and Savannah and her husband, Dwight was waiting for me in the parking lot. They walked me out to the area, and I could see that they had put in a good effort to try and find the ring with their hands. It wasn’t a real big area, but after quite a while of gridding and then cross gridding, I wasn’t finding Dwight’s ring. They decided to call it a night sometime after 2 am, after I assured them I’d text them when I found it. I grabbed my second detector, with a 15” coil out of the car and started all over again. I expanded the search area 10 ft past the end point and worked an east/west grid. I went from the bottom of the dunes to the top of the slope, probably 35-40 yards end to end. By now, I was way outside the assumed area Dwight said he felt his ring slide off his finger. After at least another 30 minutes, I got a very loud and solid signal. It showed me a vdi (visual display indicator) of 20-21. Of all the rings I’ve found, a man’s Rose Gold band was not one of them, so I didn’t know what number to expect. I dug a shallow scoop of sand and saw a quick glimmer of gold as I lifted up the scoop. Shook the scoop and there was Dwight’s ring sitting in the bottom of the scoop. BINGO! It was now 3 am, but I text Savannah anyway with a picture of the ring. Almost instantly she responded, “Coming down now, thank you SO MUCH. We met up and I handed Dwight back his lost treasure. Both were extremely happy. We met up again this afternoon so I could get some pictures. This is their last day of vacation so at least it’ll be a good one! Looking back on this find and discussing it with Savannah and Dwight, there’s no logical explanation of how the ring ended up so far away from where it should have been. The only thing we could come up with is that the wind was blowing so hard, it literally blew his ring 30-40 yards down the beach. It was a very strong wind though!
Savannah/Dwight – Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to help find your treasure. Best of luck to you both and have a safe trip back home.
Jim
