Metal Detector Expert, Bay Head NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Around noon, the beach was busy, with families scattered under umbrellas and kids playing in the surf. Kim had lost her ring earlier that morning, and despite hours of searching with her friends, it remained missing. The ring had slipped from her lap after she applied sunblock. They’d sifted through the sand with strainers, but no one had any luck.

That’s when she decided to call NJ Ring Finder.

When I arrived, Kim and her friends showed me the area where they’d been sitting. I set up my metal detector and began scanning the sand. The beach was noisy with distractions, but I worked methodically, moving in slow, deliberate rows. Kim stood nearby, nervously watching.

After a few minutes, the detector gave a strong, clear signal. I dug one scoop of sand without any luck, carefully scanning the spot again, I dug just a bit deeper, and sure enough, her precious ring was saved. It was nestled about 6” under the surface already, having likely fallen when she removed her cover up earlier.

I held it up, and Kim’s face lit up with relief. She slipped the ring back on and thanked me graciously . Another happy outcome, and I was glad to help.
