SOUTHPAW LOSES WEDDING BAND WHILE TOSSING FOOTBALL

EMERALD ISLE, NC
While vacationing with friends, Joshua was tossing a football when his gold wedding band slipped off and disappeared into the sand. He marked the spot and quickly contacted Crystal Coast Ring Finders. Arriving promptly, I began searching along the waves and mentioned to Joshua that, given the soft sand, I didn’t expect to find any older items and suspected his ring would be my first discovery. Sure enough, just a few steps in, my XP Deus II gave a strong 74 signal, and one scoop later, his ring was back in hand.

Wedding Band Recovery on San Luis Obispo Beach

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

Adam reached out to see if we could find his lost wedding band. Adam and his buddies were throwing a football in the surf zone.  His ring slipped off at some point.   He let us know of the general area to search.  When I arrived at the beach, my buddy Matt was already there detecting, the south side.  I asked him if he wanted to help with the recovery. We started gridding the area.  A couple pull tabs, can slaw, and loose change was all we were finding.  Then BOOM.  Matt hit it! Ring Recovered!

Gold Ring Recovered from Geneva Lake in Fontana, WI

Wedding Ring Recovered from Geneva Lake in Fontana, WI

Raul and his family were enjoying a day at the beach in Fontana, WI when his 14K gold wedding band was lost.  His family spent time in the grass, on the sand, and in the water.  Fontana beach is quite large, so narrowing down the search area was key.

On my way out I texted two fellow detectorists who may have been detecting this beach letting them know I was on a search and “Did they find any gold rings at Fontana’s beach in the last two days?”  “No,” was the reply.  When I arrived, another detectorist was in the water.  I waded out to Tony and asked the same question.  “No, only a quarter so far.”

       Raul patiently answered all of my questions as we worked to pinpoint the most likely spot he would have lost it.  I marked off the edges of my search area in the sand and waded into the shallow water to make my first pass.  Dragging my search coil slowly over the sand, overlapping, so as not to miss anything, I had a strong repeating signal around the third or fourth pass.  I knelt down in the water and waved away the topmost layer of sand in the spot where my detector indicated a target.  Half of the ring appeared like a golden smile.  I picked it up and held it up to Raul who was standing on the shoreline.  

It was the first and only target I dug that morning.  Raul carefully thought through all of my questions and that led to our success in finding the ring.

After a few photos, it was back on his hand and his smile said it all.

        Later, Raul made a kind post on the Lake Geneva Lake Life Facebook group.  He writes: “A huge thank you to Seth for helping recover something that means so much to me and my family.  We are incredibly grateful!”

Lost necklace found at Crystal Lake in Michigan.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I seen a Facebook post about a lost necklace from one of the Facebook groups I’m following. It was from the mother of a young girl who was heartbroken over losing her necklace. They had looked for it after it was lost with no luck. I was able to get out to search for it immediately and found it in about ten minutes. I recently started a YouTube channel called the ringmeister and will post the video soon. I would love to do this every day. It’s so much more rewarding than my job.

WEDDING BAND LOST on EMERALD ISLE BEACH, FOUND JUST in TIME

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


Walker and Lindsey were packing up their beach gear after a weekend getaway when they realized Walker had taken off his ring to swim in the ocean. Walker called me, and I was able to head his way right after we spoke. They agreed to stay a bit longer to help search the right area of the beach. Within seconds of scanning, my detector gave a loud signal. “I think this is it,” I said, as I pulled Walker’s gold wedding band from the dry.
I hope the delay was worth the result.
Safe travels home!

Lost men’s wedding band, FOUND! North Wildwood, NJ By Ring Finders Cape May, Jeffrey Laag

Received a message from Joe this past Tuesday evening. Joe explained that last Sunday he was at the beach on 7th street in North Wildwood with family. At some point, while on the beach, his wedding band fell off. Joe didnt realize this until he was on his way home on Rt55 near Elmer NJ. After gathering some details from Joe and checking the forecast and tide tables I figured that I would give it a shot the next morning at low tide. I took the short ride over from home and after about 25 minutes of searching, I swung my coil over a really clean solid signal. One scoop later I had Joes ring in my scoop! I texted Joe a picture and to his disbelief it was, in fact, his ring! Joe and his family came by today and picked up his ring. He informed me that he lost the ring the day before his 8th anniversary. Another successful recovery, another happy couple! See the very nice note they wrote in the pics.

Pine Knoll Shores- Boat Captain Loses Watch Overboard. Found And Returned

Watch snags and breaks during fall from boat.
Pine Knoll Shores, NC
Mark said he was walking along the port side of his boat when the part he was holding came loose, sending him into the murky water by the dock. On the way down, his watch caught on something and was ripped from his arm, injuring him. Mark called me, and I got there as quickly as I could. The water smelled unpleasant, and the bottom was soft. I didn’t realize the watch had broken into two pieces. My first strong signal underwater was part of the watchband, then a stainless bolt, and a couple of feet away, the rest of Mark’s Tag Heuer watch.

Anthony had been out the night before sitting on a grassy hillside with his girlfriend in a Los Angeles Park when she realized her ring was missing. He called and asked if I was available to come out and do a search for him. I was, and we agreed on a time to meet there at the park.

It is a rather large park with many roads weaving through it, so it took me a while to find the exact area for the meeting. Once there Anthony met me, and showed me the hillside they were on, and had narrowed down the area considerably which helped. I began my grid search making sure to cover every inch with a slow swing of the coil. All of a sudden there were gun shots ringing out. Not one, not a few, but it sounded like a war had commenced. I looked up, and realized that the hill was overlooking the LAPD Academy firing range. Whew! It took about 30 minutes of diligent searching, and it paid off in a recovery. Anthony was very happy that he would be able to get the ring back to his girl friend.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, searching beaches, parks, and yards, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

Ring lost in a Poway pond found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Pam and her husband were enjoying a dip in their hot tub spa when Pam realized she was still wearing her prized custom silver ring. Not wanting to let it tarnish in the chlorinated water, she removed it and set it on a towel next to the spa. When her husband got out, he grabbed the towel and the ring went flying somewhere nearby. Possible landing areas were in some of the landscaping on the deck around the spa, or, more likely into the pond just a couple of feet away. The pond is an old swimming pool that had been converted into a fish pond. Lots of plants, fish, reeds, with a mossy/mucky bottom. The closest side is the shallow end, thank goodness, so, no diver needed. They had purchased a metal detector, but, even though they got a few signals, they couldn’t zero in on any particular target. When I got there, we discussed the situation, and I started with a standard 11″ coil and swung down into the most likely area. A little bit of interference with the rebar in the underlying pool bottom, but, with a bit of tweaking, it was huntable. After just a minute or two, I got a decent high tone that was in the silver range. Pam’s husband volunteered to jump in and try to snag the target. Yay! He fished around a bit, but, came up empty. Ok, time for the small coil to help get closer to the target. Still no good, so, I reached over the side with my pin pointer, stretched down as far as I could in the signal area and got right on the target.  Her husband had success this time coming up with the ring along with some muck before he jumped into the hot tub to warm up. After a bit of clean-up, it looked good as before the day’s dip in the pond. Pam was very happy to get her treasured ring back. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.
