Elide was pulling weeds and throwing them in the ditch back in May. After a time she noticed her ring was gone. With the help of her family they searched for days with no luck. Her daughter Tricia called me and asked for help.
We arranged to meet up and start a search, within 40 minutes I had the ring back where it belongs.
I love my Job.
Avery was soaking up the sun on the beach in Avalon, NJ, when it was time to leave. In the chaos of packing up, she left her chair with her friend. Little did she know, her treasured class ring had slipped out of the cup holder and fallen onto the sand. When her friends departed, they inadvertently took the chair, leaving the ring behind. Avery reached out to me for help. We met on the beach, and she gave me an idea of where they had been sitting. I began a methodical grid search of the first area, but found no targets. I moved on to the second possible area. Suddenly, my metal detector let out a great signal! Digging down, I was thrilled to see the glint of Avery’s ring in the sand. It was a great day in Avalon, NJ.

While applying sunscreen, Tindra noticed that the clasp on her necklace had come undone, causing her charms to fall into the soft sand below. Tindra managed to locate one of the before my arrival. Since she knew the general area to search, the recovery of the final charm was swift, and Tindra expressed great gratitude.
Tindra explained: “The charms are family heirlooms from my family in Sweden. They’re gifted to babies when they’re born and one of my charms is over 100 years old. The “T” that I lost was from my Grandpa and gifted to me when I was a baby”
I was working away on my seashell art when I got a call from Gary saying he lost his wedding ring at the beach. Well, actually his wife lost it after he gave it to her for “safe keeping” while he was digging in the sand. Hey, it happens ! Since I was tied up and my best detecting buddy and Ringfinders partner Cheryl was closer, I called her to see if she could take care of it. And boy, did she ever ! It took longer to turn on her machine and headphones than it did to find the ring ! Three whole swings of her detector and it was back on Gary’s finger. Awesome recovery !
Early on Monday morning, Marim texted me inquiring about my services to recover her lost wedding set. The day before, she had taken off her three rings and placed them on a blanket while applying sunblock. Later that day, thunderstorms moved in, and in the rush to leave, she forgot about the rings. She shook out the blanket, and they likely fell into the sand. It wasn’t until she arrived home that she realized what had happened. She and a friend drove back to the beach that evening, searching with flashlights, but with no luck.
When Marim contacted me, I knew I had to act quickly, as the area of the beach they were lost on was popular with other detectorists. The only problem was that she wasn’t sure exactly what beach they had been at, as her friend had driven and she didn’t visit often. After several texts and phone calls with her friend, we agreed to meet at a nearby grocery store. From there, I followed her and her friend to the beach.
Luckily, it was a relatively quiet, wide stretch of sand, and we were the only ones there on that beautiful morning. Marim was confident we were in the right spot because she could see drag marks in the sand, and she used an app to track her family’s location, which returned us to the exact spot. After only a few minutes of searching, all three rings were safely in my scoop and back on her finger.
Marim was completely relieved. Fortunately, the beach was a private beach, with limited locations for the general public, or there might have been a good chance that someone else would have found the rings before we got there.

Morgan was spending time with his family in Emerald Isle. While on the beach, Morgan decided to go surfing with his brother and removed his necklace before heading out into the surf. Upon returning, he had forgot about the necklace and packed up quickly and left the beach. Morgan stated he and 12 other people searched for 3 hours that same evening and he came back the following morning to search for 2 additional hours and could not find his lost heirloom necklace. Morgan reached out to me later that morning and I arrived shortly afterwards to meet Morgan’s father. Morgan needed to get back home (out of town) and his father showed me the search area on the beach. It took me less than 30 minutes to pull Morgan’s lost necklace from the high tide line of the beach. This was a very memorable recovery and everyone involved was so thankful.

I received a call from Chad about locating his lost cross on a Jersey Shore beach. He explained that while playing football, one of his friends tackled him, and when he stood up, his necklace was broken. Luckily, Chad was still at the beach, and I was available to head right over to his location on Long Beach Island (LBI).
When I arrived, Chad walked me through the areas they had been in and pointed out the exact spot where his necklace had broken. I began by searching a 30-foot-wide area but only found a couple of coins. I then moved to another section where they had been catching passes but came up empty-handed again.
Puzzled as to why the cross wasn’t where Chad was tackled, I decided to return to the original spot and change the frequency on my metal detector. Sure enough, I picked up a faint signal that turned out to be Chad’s cross. Another successful recovery for the 2024 season!

Jim was walking along a wooden pathway near the Pine Knoll Shores coastline and stopped to stretch his aching back. While bending over the railing to stretch out his muscles. As he raised up, his gold necklace snagged part of the railing. This caused his sentimental gold cross to fall about ten feet into the shrubbery and sand below. Jim had a couple of guys go in and look for the missing cross unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. One of the nice gentlemen, reached out to Crystal Coast Ring Finders to see if a metal detector would locate the lost gold.
Because of scheduling conflicts and weather conditions, the search was postponed for a few days. I met Jim in the morning and he showed me the location. This was a difficult area to even squeeze into for searching and once I arrived below the railing, I began my search using my metal detector as well as my Garrett hand held pinpointer. I came across many nails, screws and some fencing wire during the search and eventually worked my way down hill to where the men, who searched previously before me, had worked some of the sand into a pile. This was below the obvious area just below the railing. A few passes with my detector showed more nails and then a very good signal. After I grabbed a handful of the sand & debris, I spotted a very dirty golden cross in the pile. I met Jim at my truck and he declined having his picture taken so you see a picture of me after a very dirty, sweaty search.
Aaron called me saying that his fiancee Katie lost her engagement ring in the dry sand. She had removed it to apply some lotion, set it in her hat, and in the process of them setting up the umbrella and blanket, the ring ended up missing. Later, they had also moved to another location in the wet sand 80 feet away, so, it could be there also. I started in the dry sand which was the most likely. Aaron pointed out the original spot where they had the umbrella planted, so, I started just to the side of that. First pass, nothing, but, two thirds of the way back on the second pass, I got the sweet sound that rang up a solid 25 on my Equinox 900. Poked the pin pointer into the sand and pulled out a beautiful gold ring. A tearful Katie was so happy to have her precious love token back again. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.
