Crab Grab In Beufort, NC Results in Lost Class Ring, Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Wilson was spending time at a Beaufort, NC Air BnB and decided to try digging for crabs in the muddy marsh along a small dock that lead to a very narrow channel.  The following day, he noticed his ring was missing.  He was not sure where it was lost but used some common sense.  He had mentioned that he believed it was in the marsh, or the yard but wasn’t sure.  I told Wilson I would search the first thing in the morning, as he texted me in the afternoon, too late to make it out there and I wanted to be sure the landowner or tenants were aware of me arriving.  Wilson trusted me with searching without him there as he would not be able to receive the class ring until Friday.  In the early morning of Wednesday June 12th I headed toward the mucky marsh.  Of course, I picked the wrong side of the pier to start searching and after hunting the right side, I started my search on the left.  After about 10 aluminum can signals, my Minelab Equinox 800 received a screaming 18 signal within arms reach of the pier.  I even said out loud “Oh please, please, please”  and started to dig using my pinpointer to direct me to the metal signal, up from the black mud came Wilson’s class ring!  He is a recent engineering graduate and was thankful the ring from his mother was back in his possession once again!  I thank Wilson for trusting Crystal Coast Ring Finders with finding and Returning his sentimental ring.

Engagement Ring Lost In Beaufort, NC Ditch Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

Leina called to report her ring was somewhere along a dirt road but she knew the general area.  Her concern was there were heavy rains the day she called and was thinking it would be more difficult to locate her treasured ring.

I met Leina the next morning and she had said she bought a metal detector and tried to locate it herself but was finding way too many pieces of trash and numerous unknown signals.  She had given me a search area and I was also pulling out various metal items.  We continued along a wet ditch which had a tall metal fence on the opposite side.  The fence was causing my machine to sound off when I swung too close.  Leina was upset and I tried to calm her down with conversation.  We seemed to have a lot in common when it came to living through our years.  While I continued to search the roadside and ditch beyond her marked area, I was pulling more trash and then I finally hit the right spot.  Leina didn’t even noticed I had found her ring in the weeds and water.  I stood there to take a break and listen to what she was talking about (her upcoming wedding).  She was so stressed.  I held out may hand with her ring and said “Maybe this will help”.  She melted with tears and joy
