We get a joy out of returning lost items. Sometimes we just find lost items on the beach and hunt the owners down. This was the case with this cell phone. When I found it it was dead but after charging it opened up and was not locked. I was able to retrieve the number and call and I shipped it back to the owner. Another win!
TOPSAIL, NC
Alison was out on a boogie board that had a break in the foam causing the nose to dive down. This caused Alison’s hand to plunge hard into the sandy bottom. She felt her engagement ring get pulled off of her finger. About an hour after the loss, she found out about Crystal Coast Ring Finders. After speaking to her I loaded my equipment and headed to the Topsail beach location. A through grid search only provided 2 wires and a newer penny. I extended the search area to the west and received a strong signal on the Minelab Equinox 800. Before attempting to recover the item, I looked at Alison and her husband with my fingers crossed. Before Alison’s husband could get to me, I had her lost engagement ring in my hand.
I received a call from Josh’s wife and she seemed flustered that her husband’s very new ring was missing after a day at the beach. I was told the ring was put away and during the transport of the beach equipment from the shores back to the vacation house the ring fell out. Josh later mentioned to me he had already planned to purchase a metal detector to try is luck. The path their wagon traveled was very well staked out and this was a huge help in finding Josh’s ring within seconds. The small group that tried to find his ring was surprised how quickly the ring sank into the soft dry sand. I was very happy to return Josh’s beautiful white gold wedding band and hope they can resume a joyful vacation at Emerald Isle, NC
Got a text through the ring finder website about a lost gold band. The couple was on vacation from Ohio and were out in the water yesterday and lost it. After I arrived I was told it was her deceased mother’s gold wedding band which is irreplaceable! I had to find it. The water was very rough and the waves were not being friendly. After recovering a moving can I got a good signal and it was in the right number range. It took about 8 minutes on that one target but persistence paid off! Her mother is smiling tonight too!
Got a call from a fellow Ring Finder that could not respond to this lost necklace request and I contacted the owner and set up a meeting. The owner (Rodney) decided to do a flip at the beach in 4 foot of water! The necklace was lost. Sometimes chains can be difficult to find but not one this BIG! After about 15 minutes I knew I had a good hit. I showed it to Rodney in the Xtreme scoop and he was ecstatic! I found out that the medallion and necklace was given to him by his friend the basketball star Allen Iverson and it was appraised 14 years ago for over $13,000! My most expensive gold find! Over 107 grams of white gold with over 4 carats of diamonds! Video will be on Gigmaster on youtube in about a week.

I get a call from a young lady who told me that she had lost her ring at the Hayward lake in Mission, this is about a 2 hour drive from where I live. We discussed the search over the phone and the fact that it was lost where someone else could easily find it with a metal detector I knew I had to get there as soon as possible. We met the next morning and I heard the story of the ring and what it meant to them to get it back. I assess the search area, which I thought was going to be smaller and it turned out to be half of the swimming area. This could easily take a couple hours to grid search, but that’s OK I will do what I have to do to find that smile.
Because this lake/park does not allow Metal Detecting we had to get permission first, the permission was granted and I began my search in the areas they believe the ring could be in, after 20 minutes and no ring I asked a few more questions, one place stood out to me and I started searching that area and found her beautiful custom made diamond ring only minutes later… A total of 30 minutes to find her lost Smile!

I have the best job in the world, I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what their ring means to them, and how happy they are when I find it.
Timing can be critical to locate a lost item. Contact Crystal Coast Ring Finders after trying to pinpoint the area the item was lost.
Jesse was spending the day at the beach with his family and had taken off his ring because he didn’t want to lose it (ironically). The ring was placed in a pouch of a beach chair. Later that afternoon, they were packing up to leave and had forgot the ring was in the unzipped pouch. When the chair was folded and transported, the ring fell out into the sand without anyone noticing. Jesse didn’t realize it was missing until later that night. After searching all beach items and the vehicle, Jesse searched online and found TheRingFinders.com.
I was on the beach at the time I received his message and was about 8 miles away. I headed to where Jesse lost his ring immediately. After a few messages & calls, I had a good understanding of where Jesse’s family traveled on the beach. My Minelab CTX-3030 hit a solid tone and Jesse’s ring was revealed.
I was messaged by Caroline about a lost ring in Va Beach. Her friend found me from my channel on youtube (Gigmaster). She actually sent me pictures where if was lost and a general location. On day one I searched but did not have any luck and the stinging nettles were coming after me! On day 2 Caroline was going to meet me but was delayed so I ventured back out in the water and found it before she arrived. I was able to surprise here with the find.
We may not always get a call and we don’t limit our search to rings. On this occasion I found a pair of prescription glasses and started asking people in the area if anyone lost their glasses. I found a guy that said his dad had lost his not long ago. They were his! He was very grateful and was wondering how he was going to drive back home without his glasses!
