Crystal Coast Ring Finders – Emerald Isle, NC
Victor called me on a recommendation. He stated he lost his wedding band of 3 years while enjoying the ocean. I made plans to hunt before the next low tide (12:15 a.m.) and that was very late so I said there may be a chance it’s on the beach so I began searching just after 10:30.
Victor and his friends and family had gathered above the location and they knew just where Victor’s custom made gold band was lost.
I started my grid search well above the current tide and progressed down to the waves rolling onto the beach. Just as I my boots were getting wet and the grid lines in the sand were being washed away, I hit a very strong signal. Being that the ring was large, my detector screen displayed the high end of what a gold ring would signal. One scoop into the sand and the following wave cleared out the sand. I peaked inside and saw that beautiful golden circle! I walked up to the group who had phones and lights running and let the ring roll out of the sand scoop in front of them. It was a great feeling watching them celebrate the recovery!

Madison called on 4th of July night after losing her Oura ring. I figured the beach would be full of people shooting off their fireworks, so I asked if we could do the search the next morning.
I got there a little before Madison, and could see that the beach had not been cleaned. She took me out to the area, and proceeded to take out her phone and look around. I asked if the ring had a find my ring feature, which she said it did. She gave me an area, and when I swung my detector, I got a signal, dug, and had her ring. That app put her right on top of it; AMAZING! I was able to give it to her, which made her day.

David gave Crystal Coast Ring Finders a call just before dark. He stated he went to the beach and upon returning to his home, noticed his wedding band, he never removes, was gone. David asked if I wanted to search the following day and I asked if he was near a public access on the beach. I was worried with the popularity of metal detecting, someone would find the ring before morning. David said yes it was near a public place so I said I would get there as soon as possible.
Upon arrival, I picked up David and we rode closer to the beach access. David showed me where he parked his golf cart then grabbed a chair and a cooler and headed to the beach. I noticed there were about 5 vehicles parked. We arrived at the place where he was sitting and a small group was nearby for a sea turtle hatch about to happen. Fortunately, David was sitting far enough away I was able to search all around where he was sitting. Nothing but trash was found during the beach search and I also searched the sand up to the steps leading to the street. After a very thorough search, we returned to the parking area where it was now very dark and a vehicle was now in the area David’s golf cart was earlier that day. I turned my headlamp on high beam and started to search around the vehicle. I was looking for the bright reflection of the light beam on David’s ring. Finally moving the back of the vehicle, and close to David, I spotted his ring laying in the street edge. David was very relieved after snatching it up from the road.
I told him earlier, “I hate when I can’t find it!”.

Jenna was referred by fellow Ring Finder Dennis Boothby after losing her amethyst and diamond engagement ring at the Sheepscot General Store and Farm in Whitfield, during a strawberry picking family outing a week ago. I decided to begin my search in the grassy parking area before venturing into the strawberry patch. After about 10 minutes I located and reunited Jenna with her ring after finding it nestled in the grass and clover near where they had parked. Through tears of joy she explained that the ring had belonged to her fiancées grandmother and the thought of having to explain it being lost to her in-laws had been overwhelming.
