Received a text from a young man in trouble. Seems he was playing volleyball while wearing his wedding ring and it came up missing after the game. The best kind of hunt, a limited area without trash. Found the ring in about 5 minutes.
Lost Gold Signet Ring Recovered on Ocean City, NJ Beach After More Than 24 Hours! Lost a ring in Ocean City, NJ? Call John 215-850-0188
When Olivia arrived in Ocean City, NJ for a relaxing beach day, she never imagined she would leave behind one of her most treasured possessions—a gold signet ring that belonged to her late grandfather.
The sentimental ring had been in her family for years and carried memories that simply could not be replaced. While enjoying her time on the beach, Olivia removed the ring and placed it in the cup holder of her beach chair for safekeeping. Unfortunately, when it was time to pack up and leave, the ring was forgotten.
The next day, more than 24 hours later, Olivia realized the ring was missing. After retracing her steps and searching on her own without success, she found Ring Finders South Jersey and contacted me, John Favano, for help.
During our phone conversation, I gathered as much information as possible about where she had been sitting and the circumstances surrounding the loss. The challenge was that the search area was quite large. With beachgoers, wind, tides, and over a full day having passed since the loss, there were no guarantees.
Upon arriving at the Ocean City beach, I began a methodical metal detecting search of the area. The search took time due to the size of the grid and the number of possible locations where the ring could have fallen from the chair.
Persistence paid off.
After carefully covering the search zone, my detector signaled a promising target beneath the sand. Moments later, Olivia’s gold signet ring emerged from the scoop.
The relief and excitement were immediate. What seemed like a hopeless situation had turned into a successful recovery.
If you’ve lost a ring, wedding band, engagement ring, necklace, or other valuable jewelry on the beach, don’t wait. Contact Ring Finders South Jersey as soon as possible. Fast action often increases the chances of a successful recovery.
Faith messaged me asking if I could come out and help recover her father Mark’s ring, which had somehow disappeared into the sand. After getting a few details, I told them I’d head right over. In the meantime, I asked them to keep the area secure so no one would set up chairs where they had been sitting.
When I arrived on the beach, Mark walked me through exactly what happened. He had taken his ring off and placed it in the top pocket of his shirt, which he had laid on top of the cooler for safekeeping. After a few hours of enjoying the beach and doing a little swimming, he put his shirt back on and started to take a walk. As he was walking, he reached for the pocket and realized the ring was gone.
We searched the immediate area around the chairs first, but had no luck. Then I had Mark retrace the path he believed he had taken toward the lifeguard chair. Still nothing. I searched all the way up to the tide line and even worked a little into the waves, but the ring still didn’t turn up.
We regrouped and went over every detail again, but nothing changed. So I decided to work a little farther down the slope into the water, about knee-deep. Sure enough, just a few steps from his chair and in the same direction he had walked, I got the hit. Mark’s ring was already about 10 inches down in the soft sand.
A little recovery work and a little detective work saved the day on this one.

Dillan and his fiancee were enjoying a swim in Lake Weir along with some friends when all of a sudden he hears his fiancee yell out that her engagement ring just came off of her finger and fell into the water. They were swimming in four or five feet deep water and they tried going under and running their fingers through the sand but after an hour or so they gave up and decided to find someone with a metal detector who could help. Online they came across theringfinders.com web site and my number and gave me a call. The next day I met Dillan and his fiancee and thankfully they were able to show me…almost to the exact spot…where the ring was dropped. They even took a picture with someone standing in the water right where it happened. Which of course made my job a whole lot easier. Whenever I do a wading water search I use pvc poles and set them in a square around the target area and then do a grid search back and forth moving 2 separate markers to keep track of where I am going and where I have been. After 20 minutes I got a perfect white gold ring signal and after one scoop with my Extreme scoop I shook the sand out and there in the bottom was Dillan’s fiancees lost engagement ring! This special ring was an heirloom ring that was passed down to Dillan’s fiancee and they were super happy to have it back. I gave them one of my silicone ring adjusters to add to the back of the ring and then reminded them to leave their jewelry in the car next time they go for a swim…and they agreed whole heartedly!

Yami called me to ask if there was any way to find a lost wallet in the dirt. I asked a few questions about the wallet and she informed me that it was her husbands and it contained some very important documents, credit cards, money and 2 other very essential elements that would help make finding it a lot easier. It contained a money clip and an Air Tag. I met Yami and her husband the next morning at the construction site and I began a systematic grid search over the areas where he thought were most likely. There were a lot of metal pieces strewn throughout the dirt and and after 40 minutes I got a promising signal in the 50s and I kicked the dirt back and there lay the young man’s lost wallet…very dirty but intact! You should have seen the ecstatic couple as they came running at me with huge smiles and arms wide for big hugs all around! Another answer to prayer and I am overwhelmed by God’s goodness when He allows me the honor and privilege to help those in need.

Last week I searched but was unfortunately unable to help a couple find their lost engagement ring at Santa Cruz Main Beach, but the very next day a bystander who saw me looking for the ring and actually spoke with me during the search lost her beautiful antique silver earring on Cowell’s Beach. The earring was part of a set including a necklace and had sentimental value as well. We talked through the details and due to the tides and tourist traffic agreed to meet on a Friday at 6:00 am on the beach where she suspected her earring was lost.
When we met she described the location that she sat in with her family and another location where she walked from, suspecting that the highest probability location was where she walked from and next where she sat on the beach next. We went to the highest probability location and within about 10 minutes I had a lone signal in the range that I suspected. I dug and sure enough found her earring only about 5 feet from where she suspected it was lost.
It’s great to have enough community recognition of the jewelry finding process that we can help people who are informed about how a search is done and what is needed to assist quickly and effectively.
I received a call from Lisa asking if I would be able to help locate a ring she had lost earlier in the day while enjoying a beautiful afternoon in Seaside Park, New Jersey.
Lisa explained that while applying lotion, she had removed her ring and placed it in the cupholder of her beach chair. It wasn’t until later—after they had already driven home—that she realized the ring was missing. She and her group immediately began searching everywhere, and even made the drive back to Seaside Park in hopes of finding it. They tried using a metal detector, but unfortunately had no luck.
After hearing her story, I assured Lisa that if the ring was still in the area she described, I was confident I could recover it. I arrived shortly after and began searching the area after removing the chairs and belongings from the spot.
Within just a few minutes, I had Lisa’s beautiful ring in my scoop and back on her finger. Her relief and excitement said it all!
Another successful ring recovery on the beaches of Seaside Park!
** Susan lost a very sentimental pendant in the sand at Newport Beach, CA. She had been running to catch a ball near where her friends had set up their beach towels and umbrella for a fun day at the beach, when her necklace broke.
Someone on the beach saw everybody searching the sand and told them that they could find a metal detecting service online.They didn’t know such a thing existed.
I was contacted and arrived at Newport Beach soon after talking with her.. A half hour into the search I located her special dime size pendant.. It was a happy ending to a day that was looking like she was never going to see her pendant again..
Kaelyn was at the pool with her son when she realized her ring was gone! She had purchased her silver ring when she was 16 years old while she was in 10th grade. The sentimental value was much higher than its monetary value.
We met to search and after a short description of where she had been on the beach, I began my search. My first signal turned out to be the ring! Kaelyn was extremely excited and happy that I had found it.Another success for the Ringfinders!
