Ocean City NJ Patch Lost Wedding Band Worn 47 years lost then Found!

John & Sophie arrived at their North Topsail, NC beach house one day prior for a family vacation with great views and weather. John had taken his wedding band of many years off to swim in the ocean. The beach chairs were moved a few times because of the incoming tide and were eventually folded up and returned to the house. John called me later that afternoon the ask if I could be of assistance. Upon arrival John showed me the boundaries for my search. There were very little signs of metal in the sand and at one point, I wondered if I had the correct search settings. After a crusty penny, my next signal was a strong soda tab signal. This time it was just the opposite! John’s white gold wedding band was peaking up from the sand after my first try to brush the sand away from the target. If I remember correctly, I think John said “well how about that!” John told the neighbors that he didn’t need to sleep outside tonight!


Kelly started to send me vague questions about my service and what was required from her. It was a very busy day for me and I also had plans to search for a lost ring the next morning. Once she gave more details about where she had lost an heirloom gold diamond ring and also a second gold aquamarine ring from her father, I was started to worry as they were very close to a busy section of beach. I had made plans to sacrifice some sleep to arrive at Atlantic Beach a few hours before heading to my morning appointment in New Bern, NC. As I knew my search time was short, I “phoned a friend” to assist with the hunt. Justin and I started at the area Kelly had marked very well with pictures, illustrations and landmarks. Justin began hunting the upper section of the recently replenished beach that was full of small pieces of aluminum as I worked from the high tide line. It only took about 30 minutes until Justin was able to winkle out Kelly’s two beautiful rings! Kelly informed us that she worked in New Bern so we still had time to hand deliver her recently found rings before heading to my previous planned location.

Well, Dog Gone!
Jayme was on the Sound side of Emerald Isle on a hot sunny day. She removed her ring to apply sunscreen and placed it onto the blanket on the bench. A small dog that came along for a swim was also on the bench and moved the towel causing the ring to fall between the pier slots and into the murky waters. A plea on Facebook once again helped connect Jayme with Crystal Coast Ring Finders a proud member of the global organization The Ring Finders. I quickly went to work in he hip deep water and after numerous iron signals, my Minelab CTX-3030 located a non-ferrous item near the drop area. I used my pinpointer to go underwater and felt it vibrate all of the way back out of the water with Jayme’s engagement ring in hand! Jayme’s tears were a sure sign of how important this sign of love means to her!

Ashley & Will married on the Emerald Isle, North Carolina beach Monday. Three days later, Will was throwing a football on the beach to Ashley’s brother. Within minutes he noticed his ring was gone and Ashley pleaded on a local Facebook page for someone with a metal detector. Many had mentioned Steven Ray of Crystal Coast Ring Finders and after Ashley called, I came out as soon as possible to begin the search in the dark. The couple had marked the search area very well for me and this aided in finding Will’s new ring quickly.

Dave & Maureen were enjoying a mini vacation on the beach of Emerald Isle, NC. Dave placed his wedding band in his hat while he was swimming in the ocean. When he returned, he put the hat on and the ring flew into the sand. The newlywed couple searched for 15 minutes but got rained out by a thunderstorm. Maureen texted me later that night and asked if I could search for the ring the following day or 2. After learning the ring was very close to a public beach access, I was concerned another person would find Dave’s ring. Even though it was getting late, they agreed to meet me as soon as I could arrive and begin the search. Dave & Maureen remembered the area very well and this lead to my quickest recovery yet as my first signal was his ring and using a headlamp, part of the ring was visible in the sand at night. I think I took 8-10 steps before finding his beautiful wedding band. It was very pleasing watching Maureen & Dave celebrate the recovery!

Someone tagged me in a post on Facebook about a gold bracelet that was lost yesterday in Sea Isle City, NJ. Pat didn’t realize his bracelet was missing until he was home later that day. He thought it may have gotten caught on his umbrella while packing up and dropped in the sand. He gave me the area where he was sitting and it was recovered in around 20 minutes!

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 Bailey about her lost her Apple watch in Avalon NJ yesterday evening. Bailey said that she had been sitting in the sand when the magnetic wristband unknowingly came apart.
She was unable to find it after searching the next morning, so she contacted me after seeing a friend’s Facebook post. Shortly after my arrival to the beach she used her iPhone GPS to find the approximate location.
I then started a grid search of the area, and within a few minutes the Apple watch was found!
