His Grandfather’s Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost on Pine Knoll Shores Beach Found

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

Quinn contacted Crystal Coast Ring finders just minutes after losing his grandfather’s wedding band. He later explained that he had worn the ring for a family member’s wedding, and upon returning to the beach, he went down to the water to pick up his son. As he lifted him, the ring slipped off and disappeared into the surf. After a few passes, I got a strong signal, and when I scooped up the sand, there it was—Quinn’s ring shining among the grains.
Years ago, when Quinn’s mother was still a child, his grandfather had to hide this very wedding band inside one of her toys before leaving Cuba. This ring carries an incredible history, and now its story can continue with even more cherished memories.

Wedding Band Lost at Emerald Isle Beach Found Months Later and Returned

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

Mike contacted Crystal Coast Ring Finders on July 8th about a wedding ring he had lost on June 24th in the ocean. I grabbed my gear and went out to search the water, but the waves were rough that day, and I couldn’t find his ring. Since he had been near a public beach access point, I checked for his ring every time I searched that area of Emerald Isle, NC. Fast forward to August 13th and many failed attempts later—I was working the low tide during a negative tide. While finding the usual coins, sinkers, and aluminum, I hit a very strong signal. A guy on the beach later said, “I saw you stop dead in your tracks!” I dug into the wet sand while watching the crashing waves, and there it was—Mike’s lost ring! I told the bystander I’d been looking for it for months. I placed the ring on my sand scoop, took a picture with the background of where Mike thought he lost it, and sent it to him with the text, “Finally.” His reply: “That’s so awesome.”

Mike and I planned to meet during Labor Day weekend, but his trip to Emerald Isle got canceled, so I mailed the ring back to him. He just received it and sent me a picture of himself with the returned ring. It’s a great feeling to know you didn’t give up and were able to recover something meaningful—not just for yourself, but for someone else too.

Silver Ring Flies Off Finger and Becomes Lost in Sand – FOUND

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

EMERALD ISLE BEACH, NC

Evan called Crystal Coast Ring Finders to locate a lost silver ring.  His family were out the tossing a small football when, during a throw,  Elise felt her sentimental ring fly from her finger.

Moments after arrival to the location, we discussed the general boundaries where they felt the ring would be retrieved for Elise.   I started my grid search and a strong 92 signal on my XP Deus II metal detector.   This was the type of signal I was expecting and after gently placing my hand deep in the sand I was able to scoop up a handful of sand with Elise’s lost ring.  The group was very surprised how quickly I found the missing ring.

Lost Necklace And Custom Gold Wedding Band Returned With Help

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

Randy called me one evening to say he placed his ring & necklace in his beach chair before heading out for one last swim before going out to eat.  He folded up the chair and ran back to the beach house and then realized he didn’t have his jewelry.  Upon arrival, Randy gave me a quick description of where he walked back to the house (across a very wide area of the beach) and back to the area he felt he had the chair set up.  It was getting dark quickly and it was very hard to determine the exact location.  I performed a grid search that evening and made a few hikes to the house and back to the high tide line.  It was getting late and I was only finding trash so I called it for that evening.  Fortunately, I keep track of where I walked, with an online application,  and use this to return to search again if needed.

The next couple of days I wasn’t able to get back to try again.  Two days after Randy phoned me, a young honest lady (Amber) asked if I knew of anyone that lost a gold ring near The Point (Emerald Isle)?  I told her I was searching for a ring & necklace in that area.  She mentioned her little sister Alayna found the ring while searching for seashells.  She shared the picture of the custom ring with me. I asked Randy about his ring and he described it perfectly!  We had a match!  I knew the necklace must have been nearby.  I asked Amber where the ring came from and she mentioned just above the high tide line.  I headed back out at daybreak because the heat each day was too much for me to be walking in the hot sand with no shade.  I expanded my original search area and was within inches the 1st night of finding both.  I hit a very clean signal and one scoop into the sand I was able to pull Randy’s gold chain with a golden cross.  It was a fantastic feeling to know WE found both his wedding ring and his necklace!  I am so glad Amber and Alayna knew about Crystal Coast Ring Finders.

Lost Wedding Ring In The Ocean Found And Returned – Emerald Isle, NC

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

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!

Gold Wedding Band Lost During Emerald Isle Beach Trip Found Off Beach

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

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!”.

Safety First on Emerald Isle Beach Leads to Lost Charms Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

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

Tindra

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”

LOST WEDDING RING DROPPED FROM TRUCK ONTO BEACH SAND FOUND – EMERALD ISLE, NC

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

Bobbie-Jo had removed her wedding rings to apply lotion before a day on the beach. She was distracted and forgot to put the rings back on before leaving the truck that had parked on the Emerald Isle coastline. About an hour later, she realized they were not on her finger. They tried to search the sand for the rings and were not successful but knew the approximate area she left the truck. Bobbie-Jo remembered Crystal Coast Ring Finders being shared on a local Facebook group and she contacted me for assistance. I was in Ohio (which I spend months during the winter). I told her I knew some trustworthy friends that help while I am away. My friend Greg was the first to respond and headed towards Bobbie-Jo’s location very quickly. Greg said it was during his second pass his Minelab 700 sounded off and he had found the missing ring. It seems with teamwork it made for a great recovery

Wedding Ring Set And Gold Necklace Lost During Beach Gathering Found!!!

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

EMERALD ISLE, NORTH CAROLINA,

Amanda was attending a get together of about 30 friends and family one evening at a Emerald Isle beach access.  Her initial message stated she placed her rings on her necklace to wash her hands off in the surf.  She also went the the bath house and wasn’t sure where it actually was lost.  I woke up early the next morning to her text message and knew I needed to get out there quickly.  I sent her a message that I was going to search as soon as possible.  She told me later, she didn’t sleep all night.  I started a grid search of the area her and her friends were the night before with no luck.  After her arrival, I expanded the area still not finding anything of value.  Amanda went back to the steps to sit with her mother-in-law (out of sight of me).  I began another grid to the water and back up the sloped soft sand and received a very loud target hit signal.  One scoop had her ring above the surface.  I sent her a picture of it and she replied “COMING!!!”.  After a brief discussion, I told her I would now try to find her necklace.  She was walking away from me when I had another target about five feet lower.  I called her back and one more scoop showed her necklace in the mound of wet sand.

Wedding Ring Lost On Emerald Isle Beach Saved Just In Time Before Trip Home

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

Bill was taking one last swim in the Atlantic Ocean before heading back to Colorado.  Before swimming, he took off his gold & platinum wedding band and rolled it up in his shirt and placed a towel over it on the path to the beach house.  Upon returning, he noticed it was missing and his wife contacted me to help.  I headed there as soon as possible.  They were in the process of checking out of the rented beach house and needed to catch a flight back home.  Bill lead me to the area that was hand searched and I switched on my machine and made my 1st pass.  When I turned to begin a second trail, I received a very loud tone beneath the sand.  The pinpointer did it’s job and Bill’s ring was lifted up from the dry sand.  I hope they were able to make their flight back in time as it was a stressing day already.
