Sterling Silver Bracelet with Two Charms Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Thursday evening, July 30, 2026, and just before 6:30 pm, I received a call from Mike stating his daughter, Ashlynn had lost her Sterling Silver Bracelet and asked if I could help find it. He also stated the bracelet was a gift from her grandmother. I asked if it was lost in the soft sand or water. He said it was lost in the soft sand on either the prior Sunday or Monday.  He also said that she had put the bracelet in a wagon along with towels and other beach items. He suspected it was lost when they got to the beach and started removing the items from the wagon. We set up a time for me to search at 8:30 pm and hung up.

I ate a quick dinner and text him, asking him if we could meet at 7:30 and he agreed. When I showed up at their rental, Mike, his wife, younger daughter and Ashlynn were waiting in the driveway. We walked down to the beach, and I was shown the area. I got a description of the bracelet and started a circular search. Not really knowing what the bracelet was going to show on the VDI (visual display indicator) I covered the area, checking every signal I got. I was going to start a north/south grid search outside the suspected area when I got a bouncing signal between 12 and 15. I took a scoop of sand and gently shook out the sand. There was nothing in the scoop, so I checked the sand and saw the outline of a possible bracelet in the sand. I reached down and pulled Ashlynn’s bracelet out of the sand. I turned around and looked at Ashlynn, who was watching me and gave her a big smile. The entire family was so happy and excited. Turns out, the bracelet was a HS graduation present from her grandmother.

Ashlynn, so happy your dad called me and we got the bracelet back where it belongs. I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Property Markers (4) Found In Cherry Grove, SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On Wednesday, May 8th I received a voicemail from Anne Marie, in part asking if I could help find property markers. She also said they had purchased a cheap metal detector, and it was going off, but they couldn’t find the markers. She said she had attempted to call the surveyor that had done their original survey but couldn’t get a hold of them. Their intentions are to install a fence. I returned her call and told her I’d be glad to look for the markers and we agreed to meet today, Friday.

Today, as I was getting ready to go, I was checking my equipment, and my pin pointer wasn’t working properly. Not good! I had to stop by my Detector dealer and pick up a new pin pointer and then was on my way. When I got there, I met Anne Marie and her husband Dave, and we got to work. Anybody that’s ever looked for property markers knows there’s always at least 1 that is very elusive, in our case there were 2, both in the front yard. The first one in the front was between the water shut off, the septic overflow, telephone poll and a neighbor’s bush. There were also sheets of tin and some nails around the marker, all fun stuff! The second marker in the front was between the other neighbor’s water meter box, paver patio and a metal fence. Plus, the marker was buried deeper, probably from the added layers of dirt for the patio. Took Dave and I awhile but we found all 4 markers. Dave hammered in yellow markers that are now visible. Now Anne Marie and Dave can get their fence done.

Anne Marie and Dave – Thanks for trusting me to help find your markers. Good luck with your fence.

Jim
