A Tearful Call and a Joyful Reunion at St. Paul Beach

Jason asked if I could look for his wedding band that he was sure was lost forever. Gave it a 3% chance of finding but had me look anyway for closure. He estimated it was lost on a sandbar in the gulf about 50 feet off shore and within a 250 linear foot sandbar. I Started a grid and found it just about in the center of the area. Jason was attending to his baby back at the condo when I found it but the rest of his family and in-laws were watching my progress from the beach. Everyone was impressed with the recovery thinking that the search was a folly. Jason was extremely happy and I’m sure the rest of his vacation was regret free. Glad I could help!
I received a call from Laura regarding the loss of her Platinum Diamond Womens Wedding Band at Middle Sex Beach located in South Bethany Beach, Delaware. Laura stated that she was throwing a football around on the beach when her ring slipped off her finger and disappeared into the sand. Laura said that they had marked the area where the ring had been lost. I responded to Middle Sex Beach where I met with Laura and began the search for her lost ring. After a careful check of the area that Laura had marked the ring was nowhere to be found. I then expanded my search eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean for about fifteen feet at which time the lost ring was found and recovered.


I received a message on my phone from Caroline asking if I could help find an engagement ring that had been lost earlier in the morning. I returned her call with enthusiasm saying I was on my way forgetting it was the Fourth of July. Traffic was brutal but I made it in good time. We all quickly introduced ourselves and George her husband to be, proceeded to tell me how it was lost. He was proposing on one knee and when he opened the ring box that had a locking latch the ring was gone. I asked all the questions leading up to where he seen it last. Luckily he remembered it was in his pocket. So I think that when he pulled the box out of his pants he also brought the ring up with it and lost it in the sand.
They went and bought a detector but couldn’t find it after an hour or so.
I had Caroline stand where she thought it could be and George where he was kneeling. Julia there professional photographer was with us while I searched, she was documenting every step.
I started to grid the area, first pass two old bullets, second pass a piece of aluminum, third pass 20 feet away from where it was thought to be I got it. A beautiful Platinum 1.2 karat Diamond engagement ring.
After a few minutes of hooting and hollering. George redeemed himself and got down on his knee a proposed. Caroline said yes. It’s very rewarding to be able to be a small part of their special day. Congratulations to you Caroline and George. A special thank you to Julian for helping them document it. Sincerely Leighton

Sue lost her wedding ring set at Gulf Shores a couple day before calling me for help. She didn’t know where to go and it took a day or so to find someone who could help. I told her i would be there first thing in the morning. I met her where she and the family were staying and we walked to the beach area she thinks it was lost. She wasn’t sure how it was lost, where it might be or if it was even on the beach but felt hopefully it was on the beach. She talked about the day it was lost and her activities and locations. The house and car had been searched and it wasn’t there, so logicly it must on the way to the beach or somewhere on the beach. She showed me the various places they were on the beach and the routes to and from those various places. With that information I put together a search plan and proceeded. After about 30 minutes and after digging several other targets I got a very good signal and knew i found something good. I dug it and showed it to Sue who shouted you found it! She was very, very happily. I’m glad I found it for her, it made both our days.

Jason lost his wedding band in the sand at Pensacola Beach on Sunday. He called that evening and i said I would help and agreed to meet first thing Monday morning at the beach. Jason had a fairly large area identified as the target area. There wasn’t anyone on the beach and the weather was comfortable. I started a grid and searching it pretty fast while Jason was working the phone lining up his days business. Fortunately his ring was in the area he designated. I found it in record time and it was back on his finger and he back to work on time!


This very nice lady was attending a Beach Volley Ball tournament at Gulf Shores. Some how her ring slipped off and immediately burrowed into the sand without her realizing. This was a huge tournament, both high school and college competitions. Maybe 90 courts with walkways in between. I started the search in the areas she felt was the best change of finding the ring. Lots of people had been walking over the walkways so I anticipated the ring would have been pushed down until it hit a hard layer. Fortunately it wasn’t far from the location she identified and it was pretty deep. The only worry I has was not interfering with the play and searching only in between volleys!
