Engagement Ring Lost in Beaufort, NC Waters After Friend’s Wedding Celebration Found

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Jasmine called me early in the morning, explaining she had spent hours searching for a ring lost in the “very muddy, murky part of the water.” She and her fiancé Bella were distraught, fearing it was gone forever. I tried to comfort and reassure her that I could help. The couple was in Beaufort, NC, celebrating a wedding with some friends. After the wedding, they decided to jump into the Beaufort waters for fun.

Later that morning, I learned the ring, that belonged to Bella’s Grandmother, had been lost while swimming near a boat dock, and attempts to find it in the soft, mucky bottom had failed. Concerned about the water’s depth, I asked Jasmine, who said it was 5-6 feet deep but shallower and muddier near the dock. I planned to arrive at noon, timing it with the outgoing tide. Jasmine felt confident the ring came off as she pulled herself out of the water onto the dock, but no one knew where it had ended up.

I began a thorough search, diving into the muddy water with my metal detector. I found no signals near that side of the dock and started wondering if the ring had fallen through the dock boards onto the plastic support floats. Sliding under the dock, I felt around the floats and even used a borrowed phone to photograph areas I couldn’t see or reach—but still no luck. Returning to the water, I doubted the ring could have slipped through the narrow gaps in the boards. We then decided to search the opposite side of the dock.

After just a few steps in knee-deep muck, my headphones picked up a loud signal that even Jasmine heard from the dock. Digging through the black mud, I finally retrieved the ring. Holding it high above my head, I instantly changed the mood of everyone watching joy and relief filled the air!

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

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

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.

Adam contacted Crystal Coast Ring Finders for help locating his lost necklace. He explained that he had been assisting a friend at the beach the previous evening and only noticed the necklace was missing after leaving. When I arrived, Adam provided a clear idea of where the necklace might be. On my third pass, I got a promising signal, and sure enough, it was his necklace. My search coil swept the sand aside to reveal the stunning gold necklace.

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

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

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.

Lost Wedding Set Found and Returned with Help

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Havelock, NC
Jason Burleson, a member of The Ring Finders group, contacted me regarding a lost wedding set near Havelock, NC. Later, he informed me that he wasn’t feeling well and decided to refer the customers to Crystal Coast Ring Finders. After receiving the call from Josh and Patience, I headed out. Upon arrival, Josh marked the approximate location with a stick where they had set up earlier. After a few trash signals, my detector picked up a midrange target. Using only my pinpointer, I retrieved one ring from the sand and quickly located the second one about seven inches away. Josh and Patience rushed over when I showed them their recovered rings.

Lost Wedding Band Dropped on the Beach Found and Returned by Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

David shared that he had placed his phone and wedding ring in a beach bag before heading for a swim at Topsail Beach. He suspected that someone might have pulled an item from the bag, causing the ring to fall out. I arranged to meet David early the next morning to begin the search. After uncovering a few deep targets and two dimes, my XP metal detector gave a loud, solid signal outside the coin range. As David walked towards the water, I called out, “This looks promising.” Moments later, I retrieved David’s platinum wedding band from the sandy beach.

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

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

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.

Football Fling in Ocean Results in Lost Ring – Found and Returned

NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, NC                                                                            By Crystal Coast Ring Finders
Adam’s wife shared a heartfelt plea on social media, asking for help in finding Adam’s wedding band, which had been lost in the water. By the time I had enough information to begin the search, they had already returned to Ohio. They estimated the ring was about 40-50 yards out from the beach, and my search confirmed they were right. After covering a span of five houses while water hunting, I finally hit a good signal. As I lifted my sand scoop from the waist-deep water and the sand sifted out, there it was—Adam’s ring nestled among a few shells. Some ladies watching my gear from the shoreline were amazed when I found it. Adam’s ring was one of two white gold wedding bands I recovered that day. I mailed his ring back to Ohio and waited for a photo of Adam with the ring back on his finger. Though Adam had some bad luck, falling ill after the vacation, he was healing when his son captured the moment of his dad wearing the ring again. I’m grateful to the family for trusting me to recover and return such a meaningful item!

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

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

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!”.

Lost Tiffany Diamond Ear Ring in Canton, Tx

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got call from Faith, she said she was Skydiving for the first time.  Once she landed in the field she was taking off her Goggles and felt her brand NEW (only had them 24 hours/10yr anniversary gift) Gold & Diamond Ear Ring flew off.  She immediately dropped to her knees with her parachute still attached and started looking for her ear ring.   Her partner and all of the staff at the Sky Diving Club searched and searched but with no luck.  They bought a metal detector NO Luck, the had someone come out with a better Metal Dectector- NO Luck.  Someone suggested she better hire a Pro, so she called “The Dallas Ringfinders”.

We got the call 1 week after the loss, we scheduled to come out after church on Sunday and met the couple and all 7 of the staff of the Sky Diving Club, everyone there had been searching for the Ear Ring.  Great thing was the staff had put out a orange cone at the landing location where Faith had landed.  Ellen & I got our Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectors and  our Garrett Water Proof Pinpointers and began our search… it only took a minute.  I got a solid 45 gold signal at less than 2 inches deep.  I checked the site with my Pinpointer but go No signal, I then cleared the dried grass with my foot and scanned again,  still getting the 45 Gold signal indicator.  I then bent down and slowly and carefully scanned the area with my pinpointer and got a hit on the edge of the thick grass I had cleared.. still seeing nothing I use my hand to slowly clear the grass and then I saw the “Glint”.  What fun to return a beautiful ear ring..
