I was outside playing with my daughter and went to throw a ball for her and it slid off my finger and landed in the grass in my backyard. I looked for a couple days and raked the yard to try and pop it up out of the grass but still couldn’t find it. I found ring finders online and got into contact with Jeremy, he was able to come out and find it for within 20 minutes. 
I was contacted over the weekend by a student who had just started university.
From what I understand there was some sort of initiation process going on in the beautiful park nearby, which overlooks Oxford, with an amazing view of many of the spires of the university.
This initiation took the form of rolling down a mild slope of the park, with possibly some sort of inebriation involved? also being dark, what could go wrong?
So we arranged to meet in the park for a search. Luckily the grass hadn’t been cut, but in a few more days, this would have been on the cards.
The area to be searched was probably about 500 square meters, so I set about searching. There were many very nice signals going on which were all sub surface, so had to be ignored! Eventually, quite near my last corner marker, a beautiful clear tone, then there it was, a very nice engraved signet ring recovery in some getting long grass.
Very happy student, and detectorist!
I received a message from a customer asking for my assistance in locating his lost wedding band. He had been practicing softball with his daughters before a game and was on a side field adjacent to the main softball field when he lost it.
The customer was about an hour away from returning to the ballpark, but he texted me several photos of the area while traveling back. Since I was only a short distance away, I gathered my gear and headed over to begin the search.
When I arrived, I was fortunate to have some help from others who were already assisting with the search. The customer arrived a short time later and explained exactly what had happened. As he was running up a slight hill, he removed the glove from his left hand. When he reached the top of the hill, he realized his wedding ring was missing.
A small group had already searched the area without success. I began my search by gridding across most of the likely sections, but the ring remained elusive.
Just as I was preparing to call it a day, I decided to make one last sweep along the edge of the field as I headed back toward my truck.
That’s when my XP Deus II gave me a VDI 55 signal.
I recovered the target…💍 RING FOUND!
The customer, his wife, and everyone at the field table were absolutely ecstatic when I handed the ring back to him.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of returning something so meaningful to its owner.
Happy Customer — Happy Hunting! 🤘

Brenda called Crystal Coast Ring Finders for help trying to locate her missing 3 piece wedding set. Brenda was out trying to find clams in the very shallow waters of the Bogue Sound. It wasn’t until the next morning she realized her wedding set was missing. I asked her many questions about what she did after being in the water and it was determined the rings were more likely lost in or near the muddy area she searched for clams. The day I met the couple (married 55 years!) the weather was less than favorable with strong winds keeping the tide higher than normal and white cap waves at times. After a few passes, I informed them this was not ideal conditions and I would return soon to try again. On the second attempt, I tried to take advantage of the negative low tide that day and get out as far as she informed me she hunted on that sad day. As I expected, I found many items of garbage but no rings. The third day I returned and after checking my tracking software realized there was still an area that needed more attention. After a while I finally came across a very solid signal and was hoping it wasn’t garbage. I brought my scoop up out of the mud and after clearing the debris, I noticed that spectacular shine of gold! I marked the location of the first ring and about 3 foot away I found a very similar signal. It was Brenda’s engagement ring. Once again, I marked the area in the water with a pole and seared again. Once again at around 3 feet further was the last ring! It was apparent to me she lost the rings throwing something. Brenda explained she was digging with her right hand if she found an empty shell, she would toss it into an area she already hunted.
Brenda informed me her friends were very doubtful any of the rings would be found and even encouraged her to file an insurance claim on the lost rings. When I informed Brenda (who had returned to Pennsylvania) I have found all 3 rings, she told me she filed a claim the previous day and would now call them back to cancel the claim and save her the deductible amount. Brenda and her husband Floyd for 55 years returned back to North Carolina a few weeks later and I was very happy to return the rings to her in person and I really enjoyed visiting them.
I had a call the other day from a lady who had lost her grandmothers wedding ring. Her grandmother was married in 1950, so this was a very special ring.
We met on her dog walk, which was a wooded track with lots of undergrowth each side. the walk was probably quarter of a mile, so quite a search. The track was surprisingly not too trashy, but as with most ring searches, they are normally on the surface, so a detuned detector was necessary.
After nearly two hours of searching, we were nearing the end of the track, and we were both beginning to feel the hope of finding the ring was fading. But then, a beautiful clear tone was delivered! A quick brush aside with my foot of some leaf litter, and there it was, a very nice gold ring smiling at me.
Another very happy and emotional owner of a very special lost ring now recovered.
EMERALD ISLE, NC – Just minutes after losing his 5-month-old wedding ring, Brandon called Crystal Coast Ring Finders. I arrived shortly after high tide and began searching from high to low toward the ocean. After three and a half passes, the Deus II metal detector gave a solid 46 reading. Pinpointing the spot, I took one scoop, but a wave rushed in and washed away the sand. As I lifted the scoop to check, there it was—Brandon’s bright gold wedding band. I held up the scoop basket, and Brandon happily reclaimed his lost ring.
This year’s charity is Fishin’ for a Cure and 10% of Brandon’s reward will be donated to support individuals battling breast cancer.
The Vanderbilt Ring That Took a Swim
Wilden was out in the lake enjoying some time with his wife, tossing a football back and forth, when things took an unexpected turn. As Wilden threw the football to his wife, his newly acquired college ring slipped right off his hand and disappeared into the lake.
This wasn’t just any ring—it was his Vanderbilt University college ring, and his wife had just bought it for him about two days earlier! Needless to say, Wilden was probably already starting to think about how comfortable the doghouse was going to be.
I headed out to help and began searching the lake. Luckily, the water was only about 3–4 feet deep, making the search a little easier. It didn’t take long before I located Wilden’s Vanderbilt ring resting beneath the water.
Ring recovered, crisis averted, and most importantly… Wilden is officially out of the doghouse!
Another ring found, another happy ending.

Last weekend a guy named Rob lost his white gold wedding band while boating with his brother.
They had pulled near shore and somehow he lost his ring overboard. Luckily they were in about
waist deep water and the brother marked the area. So I had to get there and grid the area for awhile
before the ring was in my scoop!
While cutting the grass, this Dorchester man’s wedding ring slipped off his finger and into the grass. After searching for some time he looked up the ring finders and contacted me! Another great find!
