Lost Wedding Band Dropped From Boat Dock Found In Cape Carteret, NC


Mike was earlier doing some cleaning using various soaps. Later that evening while relaxing on his boat dock with his wife he began to clean some of the soap residue from his figures. It was a relaxing afternoon to sit, relax and enjoy the view and a beverage. Mike started to clean his ring finger when the ring shot off of his finger, over his back and into the Intracoastal Waterway.
After getting the details, a through search began in the very soft muck bottom. After 3 pieces of garbage were removed from the bottom a very good tone sounded off from my Minelab Excalibur II very close to the dock post. My Garrett AT Pro-Pointer was used to search the shallow water for the tone. A handful of muck with a shell and Mike’s wedding band was brought out of the water while Mike stood over his ring as it was lifted from the waterway.

it was a beautiful day at Pensacola Beach but the Shorebreak was really pounding. Chris was on the edge of the water putting on his fins and mask to do some diving. The Shorebreak hit him, he tumbled a bit and lost his ring. His wife called me to see if I could help and I said I would try. They showed me about where the ring was lost and I was able to find it in an hour hour and a half. We got to talking, he was from Pensacola and so am I. It turned out that we’re distant cousins! They departed all smiles. I was glad I could help and now have another family link. I guess it’s truly a small world!
