Lost Family Heirloom Gold Ring- Jockey’s Ridge State Park – Nags Head – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a young lady Wednesday evening.  She said that she had lost her gold ring, which was a family heirloom, handed down to her from her grandma.  She was devastated because she had worn it swimming at Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nag’s Head, NC.

I explained to her that metal detecting is not allowed in NC State Parks.  I advised her to call Jockey’s Ridge and explain the situation.  She called me a few minutes later saying that the Park Ranger Manager would allow it provided that I turn in any other items found during the search and that we could look the next morning.

I met her at the gate when it opened the next morning.  She took me down the path that they had taken to the beach and I first checked all the dry sand in the area that they set up.  No luck.  I began a grid search in the water that spanned about 50 yards…going deeper and deeper.

I found a few items that we not the target item (which I turned in at the Ranger station on the way out) and then on the 3rd pass…It rang up on the Minelab Equinox 800!!!

Congratulations on finding Grandma’s ring!!

Lost Men’s White Gold Wedding Ring – Nags Head – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from a Shawn today.  He had lost his white gold wedding ring on the beach in Nag’s Head in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I asked Shawn the normal questions about if he knew where and was it in the water.

He said that he had been throwing a football and felt it slip off.  Shawn had done his due diligence and had marked of the area that he thought he had lost it.

When I arrived, I headed to the beach and met Shawn.  He had markers set up delineating the borders of the area to search.  I got the Minelab Equinox 800 running and within a minute heard a good signal.  I reached over and dug in the sand and boom.

Shawn told me that his anniversary was later in the week and this made him so happy!

Lost Men’s Gold Wedding Ring – Corolla Beach – Outer Banks, NC – Found

  • from Ponce Inlet (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Chris called me and let me know that he had lost his ring in the surf.  I explained to him that when something is lost in the water the chance of finding it is not the best but I would come and see what I could do.

I arrived and he took me down the spot on the beach where he though he lost his ring.  He indicated that he had been tossing a football and felt it slip off.  He said that he had not gone far left or right from where his cabana and chair were and was not very deep.

I began the search in the shallow water working my way about 10 yards north and south of where he told me he was.  I worked my way deeper and deeper until I thought it could not have gone this far.  So I started over.  I started where the sand was just wet and expanded about 20 yard north BING.

Almost immediately my Minelab Equinox 800 sang it’s song.  I dug a small amount of sand and the ring was sticking out.  Chris and his wife were watching as I held up the ring!!!  He sprung up out of his chair and confirmed his lost ring.

Tomorrow is their 22nd Anniversary.   Happy Anniversary!!!
