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.
Received a text last night asking for help to find an engagement ring lost in their backyard. We planned on me being there at 9:30 am.
Story goes, they were laying on blanket in the backyard when she had put ring on her pinky, stood up and it slipped off into the thick grass. They searched and searched, bought a pinpointer and even ordered a metal detector as well.
He found me online and asked if I could help.
I made the hour and half drive, get the location, turn on and set up my machine, take a step and boom there it was!
Love helping people find the little priceless things they lost and put them back in their life!

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 got a text from Vinit, who explained that he had been playing volleyball on a sand court and lost his platinum engagement ring. He had posted signs around the court in case someone else playing on that court found it, but when he texted me, no one had called him. This was one of those rare occasions when the person knew exactly where they were when the jewelry was lost, the item was lost in sand (which is great to detect in), and it was in a place with almost no trash to complicate things. It took me only about 10 minutes to find Vinit’s ring and get it back on his finger where it belonged. Quick recovery, happy ending!
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.
Stacie lost her 14K white gold and diamond ring and narrowed the likely hiding place down to the backyard or the pool. Renting a metal detector to no avail led her to me. After eliminating the backyard, we located her gorgeous keepsake at the bottom of the pool. Another happy customer and the smile says it all!
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.

Maryann texted me in a panic, asking if I could help find her husband Steve’s lost wedding ring on the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ. He had removed the ring to apply sunscreen and put it in his pocket. When he went to put it back on, it had vanished. After a quick conversation with Maryanne, I was on my way, arriving just 30 minutes later. I moved one of their chairs and began my search with my metal detector. After just a few swings, the machine buzzed. There, buried in the sand, was the lost wedding band! The family could now relax and continue enjoying their vacation in Sea Isle City, NJ..
Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.
As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.
I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.
So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.
After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”
I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol
We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”
The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!
This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!

Carly contacted me about finding her grandmother’s signet ring. She lost it in a vacant lot while tossing an ice bag to a friend. This was one of the fastest ring finds I’ve ever had. She put me right on top of it and was very grateful to have her special ring back.
