Lost Gold Ring Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders -Emerald Isle,NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

 

Jill was spending the day with her daughter at Emerald Isle’s Western Regional Beach Access.  Before leaving their beach location near the lifeguard stand, she noticed this special ring had gone missing.  It wasn’t until the next day, after talking the the police department, that she was informed there are services in the area who specialize with finding lost items.  Jill called me and I informed her that I would be there as soon as possible.  It was my concern, another detectorist may have already found the gold ring.  Upon arrival the search area was surprisingly empty of visitors and I started my search of the 15 x 15 yard area.  Jill even placed an X in the sand where she suspected the ring may lay buried from the day before…  On my 3rd pass, I received a strong signal on my Minelab CTX-3030.  One scoop and the ring was visible.  The location was less than 8″ from the center of Jill’s X mark.  Jill declined my offer to include her into The Ring Finder’s Book of Smiles

Gold Diamond Engagement Ring Recovered on Stinson Beach, California

  • from Stinson Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Jillian contacted me about her engagement ring that went missing on the beach over the weekend. She had a great idea of where it might be and was able to direct me to the probable location.

She also took the initiative to call lost and found, the local beach cafe, and anywhere else she could imagine it may have been lost. Smart!

I hit the road and located the area of the beach she remembered, then created a search grid. Within about an hour and a half, after pulling up every pop tab on the planet, I finally found her lovely gold diamond engagement ring! I called her right away so she could breathe a little easier, and we met up later that evening to get it back on her hand where it belongs.

I enjoyed getting to know the happy couple and I wish them well on their upcoming wedding and travels. I’m glad they found The RingFinders so I could help, and so happy it turned out positive.

Lost Heirloom Diamond Ring Recovered in Sunny Isles Beach, FL

  • from Stinson Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

I was just beginning my day when I received a call from Mousha – she had lost her precious heirloom diamond ring the previous day on the beach after getting tumbled by the waves at the shoreline. I dressed in my warm swimming gear and biked to her location at the nearby lifeguard tower.

She had a very good description of where she had been sitting, swimming, and approximately where she was when the waves got a little rough. Her brother helped her estimate about how far away she had been from their sitting location when she was in the water. That description was incredibly helpful for coming up with a search plan.

I started with a W pattern along the high tide line down to the churn line first. Because the tide was moving out, I planned to move further into the water if nothing could be found in the wet sand. Fortunately, about an hour into the wet sand search, my CTX 3030 came back with a very solid signal.

I scooped about 8 inches of sand which contained the target. Then I was thrilled to see an exciting ring shape on its side just as she described! I grabbed my gear, marked the spot in the sand and ran back to join her near the guard tower. She couldn’t miss the huge smile on my face as I had her describe it one more time…then I revealed it to her.

That moment – the moment when I see someone’s face light up – is what it’s all about for me. That item had so much meaning to her, it’s not just a valuable ring, it’s a piece of her life and heart. I loved hearing her describe the meaning. She had designed the ring herself using scrap pieces of gold and diamonds that belonged to her mother and grandmother.

She later shared that she had no hope of finding it, and that she felt like a part of her heart was drifting in the ocean. Now she has this connection to her mother and grandmother back with her where it belongs. I’m very glad that she found Ring Finders and decided to take a chance and give me a call!

Lost Men’s Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Sunny Isles Beach, FL

  • from Stinson Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

   

I was on my way to the grocery store when I received a call from Jerrica – her husband had just lost his gold wedding band in the Atlantic Ocean off of Sunny Isles Beach, FL. I did a quick U-turn for home, changed into my water detecting outfit and grabbed my CTX 3030.

They made a smart move by coming to the Ring Finders website and finding me so quickly. Because they stayed put and were patient, they were able to accurately point me toward the water right where they believed the ring came off. They were able to describe it and remembered feeling it come loose in the water.

I expected a long hunt because it is a very popular stretch of beach in Sunny Isles Beach, FL – lots of tourists and a fair amount of aluminum trash too. But to my surprise (and theirs), the ring popped up in my first target signal.

I loved seeing the excitement from them and their friends who were shocked at how quickly it was found. All because they had the patience and quick thinking to call right away!

Lost Ruby and Diamond Sentimental Engagement ring found at Loyola Beach in chicago

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from a young man who was helping an elderly women. The gentleman was sitting on a bench at Loyola Beach with his girlfriend when he observed an elderly women frantically searching on her hands and knees for her sentimental engagement ring in the sand. It was yellow gold with two Diamonds and a Ruby. He helped her by marking the spot with some small stones and a buried t shirt. He went online with his phone and found the Ringfinders website and my name. The woman does not own a cell phone. He called me and explained the situation. This call was received in the late afternoon today. I knew that if I didn’t come out right away, the stones and marker would probably be gone in the morning because of the raking machines they use every morning on the beaches. He gave me the woman’s landline number and we met at the beach. The marker was still intact. In less than 30 seconds, with just 1 swipe of the coil, I found the ring less than a foot from the marker. It came up as 12/05 on my CTX 3030. The woman was in shock that I was able to find it. She had already given up any hope of finding it. People nearby saw that I had found it and came running over in disbelief. Another GREAT DAY to be a RINGFINDER!! I couldn’t have been happier for her so I had my picture taken with her.
