Description
I found this gold ring yesterday around 11am on the beach access path by Jennette's Pier in Nags Head, Outer Banks. It's a slender 14k gold band with a bezel-set emerald about 6mm in diameter. The outside shows a few micro-scratches, and there's a tiny dent on the inner edge. Inside the band is a faded engraving 'A.S.' and the ring fits roughly as a size 6. I know a ring like this can be sentimental, and I’d really like to help reunite it with its owner. If you recognize it, send me a quick message with any verification details and we’ll take it from there.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
