Lost Gold Plumeria Ring at Ala Moana Beach Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a call from Zoe who lives in Tampa, Florida and was on vacation visiting friends on Oahu.  Zoe just recently purchased the gold plumeria ring as a memento to her visit as it was her favorite flower of Hawaii.  She had taken it off and placed it on a beach blanket for safe keeping.  The wind picked up and was blowing sand and rain.  Zoe picked up the blanket to shake off the sand and at the same time realized the ring had been on it.  Zoe, her Hanai Aunt & a friend searched but couldn’t find the ring in the sand.  I told Zoe I could be there in about 15 minutes.  When I arrived Zoe had already marked the area.  I started up the Manticore and began the search.  After covering the suspected area with no find I expanded the grid in every direction.  Still no ring.  I could see a look of hopelessness on Zoe’s face and I was quite puzzled as to where the ring could be.  I decided to go perpendicular to the initial search and farther down towards the water.  BOOM!  Way out of the initial grid towards the water the Manticore screamed and as I looked down I could see the faint outline of a gold ring in the wet sand.  I yelled over to Zoe and the other girls and they all ran down to the spot to see.  Several hugs and laughs later Zoe’s vacation is saved.  That blanket sure tossed the ring!  Aloha to Zoe!

Lost Sentimental Gold Ring In Sea Isle City NJ Found by John Favano Ring Finders South Jersey

LOST A RING IN SEA ISLE CITY, NJ?

Call John Favano Now! 215-850-0188

When Kaitlyn’s family heirloom ring slipped off her finger while playing in the surf in Sea Isle City, NJ, panic immediately set in. The sentimental ring, passed down from her grandmother, disappeared into the rough ocean water during a day with a strong rip current. Like many beachgoers, she feared the ring was gone forever beneath the waves of the Jersey Shore.

Thankfully, Kaitlyn contacted Ring Finders South Jersey and metal detector specialist John Favano responded within 20 minutes of the call. Quick response time is critical during ocean recoveries because tides, currents, and beach conditions can rapidly move jewelry farther away from the original drop location.

After gathering the exact details of where the ring was lost, John entered the water and began a careful grid search using professional underwater metal detecting equipment. Despite the heavy surf and challenging conditions, the search continued for nearly two hours. Even after Kaitlyn and her family had to leave the beach to get their children home, the search continued.

About 30 minutes later came the call every client hopes for — the ring had been FOUND.

The heirloom ring was recovered in waist-deep water, even though it originally slipped off in knee-deep surf. Ocean currents had already moved the ring significantly, which demonstrates why experience and persistence matter during water recoveries.

Kaitlyn later shared this review:

“Can’t say enough positive things about Ring Finders South Jersey! I called when my ring slipped off my finger in the ocean while playing with my kids. My ring was a family heirloom from my grandmother and I couldn’t believe my horrible mistake of wearing it into the water. A friend gave me his number right after it happened and he came within 20 minutes after calling. I didn’t have high hopes for the outcome as the rip current was so strong that day, and I assumed it must have been pulled far away from where it dropped. He searched the entire area we were for about 2 hours… About 30 minutes after we left the beach I got the phone call that he FOUND THE RING! I could not believe it! He found it in about waist deep of water when it had dropped off my finger in about knee deep water. He was incredibly thorough in his search. I am so thankful I called him as I am sure I would have never recovered the ring.”

At Ring Finders South Jersey, every recovery is treated with urgency because sentimental jewelry cannot be replaced. Whether it is a wedding ring, engagement ring, necklace, bracelet, or family heirloom lost in the sand or surf, professional metal detecting recovery services are available throughout South Jersey beaches including Sea Isle City, Ocean City, Wildwood, Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Cape May.

If you lose jewelry at the beach, avoid searching randomly and contact RING FINDERS SOUTH JERSEY immediately before tides and currents move the item farther away.

Received a call from Joes cousin Nicole. Nicole explained that her cousin Joe had just lost his ring in the surf while enjoying the ocean with the family. Joe was body surfing, and at some point, his gold wedding ring had slipped off and disappeared into the ocean. It was just about 5pm when they called and low tide was at 5:30pm. I immediately rushed up and met up with Joe and his family. Joe was fairly confident of where he was at when he noticed the ring was gone but wasnt positive of exactly when it happened. He was between chest deep water and ankle deep surf. I began working a search grid from where he believed was the most probable spot. After recovering many targets in the “wash zone” I began to work my way out to deeper water. Joe and his family had returned to their home for dinner and I assured them that I would continue searching the area to ensure it was thoroughly covered. After about 2hrs of searching I heard the signal I was waiting for. After two scoops in chest deep water out popped Joes ring! Another happy client!

Joes Review:

“Jeff Laag and Ring Finders Cape May are incredible! I lost my wedding ring in the ocean while on vacation last week. Jeff showed up in no time and immediately started his search! I had dropped some change where I thought I lost the ring to help with his search. Jeff found all $9 in change, searching diligently. After two hours I had all but given up and was going to have to tell my wife I lost my ring less than a year into our marriage! Just then, Jeff sent a message that he had concluded his search…and found the ring! Five feet deep in the ocean! If you’ve lost a ring/ valuable metals you need to give this man a call! Thanks Jeff!”

Saturday mornings are meant for fresh air and relaxation along the beautiful beaches of North Wildwood, NJ, but for Lisa, one necklace held memories spanning generations and it had vanished into the tide.
Lisa explained that the necklace included Virgin Mary medals passed down from her great-grandmother in Sicily, making it irreplaceable. While relaxing near 5th & 6th Avenue, she removed it from her neck because it was burning her skin and placed it on her chair arm. Unfortunately, as the tide came in, it slipped into the sand and water unnoticed.
We came out to search the area, but the attempt was unsuccessful. Despite this, Lisa never lost hope, and we scheduled a recovery attempt during the Saturday low tide, knowing timing, strategy, and precision are critical for successful beach recoveries.
Five days after the initial loss, our professional metal detectors confirmed a signal the necklace had been found! Meeting Lisa outside her home in her pajamas for the handoff was a truly sentimental moment, as she was reunited with jewelry containing decades of family history.
This story highlights the importance of acting with expertise, using professional equipment, and persisting in recovery efforts. If you lose a ring, necklace, bracelet, or other jewelry anywhere along the North Wildwood or South Jersey shoreline, professional recovery services like RingFindersSouthJersey.com are your best chance for a successful reunion.

LOST Platinum wedding ring (for 5 months) at Air BnB on Lake Gaston, NC….. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.

So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.

We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!

I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”

I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!

Lost Yellow Gold and Diamonds Hawaiian Style Ring in Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began yesterday when I got a call from Amy, who lives on Oahu.  While enjoying the day at Ulua Lagoon, her husband Jan was playing with the kids and tossing them up and out into the water.  One of the kids grabbed hold of Jan’s necklace, which had the ring on it and the necklace broke.  The ring went flying but in what direction and how far?  They were able to find the necklace but not the ring.  Jan had assumed the ring would be in the waist to chest deep water he had been standing in.  Knowing they were down in front of the umbrellas I told Amy I would hunt the next day.  I started the hunt on the Southern umbrella and worked North.  I concentrated on the waist to chest deep water.  Then after about 30 minutes as I was heading shoreward in ankle deep water I got a nice screaming tone on the Manticore and after two scoops I was surprised to see Jan’s awesome ring in the scoop.  I went back to my car and sent a pic to Amy as Jan was working in Waikiki.  Her response was « Oh my!!! You found it!!! »  I called and Amy said she would tell Jan and he could swing by my house which is 5 minutes from Waikiki, and pick up his ring after work.  Jan was stoked to be going home with his ring!  Aloha to Amy & Jan!

Lost Key Fob in the Snow in Edgewater Park NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

This past winter kept me busy.

I had just gotten home & put away all of my detecting equipment from an earlier request when I received a call from Moise. While shoveling, he lost his keys & fob. I told him I could be there in about 30 minutes.

When I got there, he showed me where he was shoveling. There were some pretty high piles of snow. He went back into the house.

I got started. Within 5 minutes, I got a good signal. Dug down about 15 inches, and there were his keys. I knocked on the door and showed him his fob. He was amazed at how quickly I found them. He had been looking for hours.

I love my hobby!!

Lost Yellow Gold Wedding Band at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This ring find began when I got a call from Kaedan who was on a babymoon with his wife Holly from Dallas, Texas and stated that Aloha Security informed him that I was the Resort’s detectorist and if I could make it out to Ulua Lagoon to recover his Yellow Gold Wedding band from shallow water.  He told me it fell off his finger as he was catching a football.  I told him I could head his way in about an hour and Kaedan said he would meet me on the beach.  When I arrived, Kaedan hadn’t arrived so I started a grid search where he showed me in a FaceTime chat we had.  As I was coming back in from the first leg, I saw Kaedan walking towards me.  We discussed the search area and we widened the grid just to be sure.  As soon as my detector touched the water I found a Tungsten Wedding Band with three diamonds.  Well that’s a good sign!  I continued on.  During the hunt I found a Gold Hooped earring and a lead elephant head pendant.  As I was nearing the extreme edge of the grid I could see a look of hopelessness on Kaedan’s face.  Then, « BOOM » in thigh deep water I got a great tone and in one scoop there was the Gold Band.  A look of pure relief came over Kaedan’s face as I handed him his ring.  Babymoon saved!  Congrats & Aloha to Kaedan & Holly!

Sentimental Charm Necklace Found in Ocean City NJ Beach Sand by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

Lost a ring in Ocean City NJ?
Call 215-850-0188
Visitors come to Ocean City to relax and create memories, but sometimes valuable jewelry disappears unexpectedly in the sand. That happened to Jim after spending time on the beach with family and friends. The next morning, he contacted ringfinderssouthjersey.com⁠ about a sentimental chain and charm he believed had fallen off during the previous day’s beach trip.
The necklace carried tremendous sentimental value because it had been given to him 10 years earlier. After returning home that evening, Jim noticed the necklace was no longer around his neck. He searched everywhere he could think of before realizing the beach was likely where it had been lost.
Time matters during beach recoveries. Ocean tides, beach cleaning equipment, and heavy foot traffic can all make locating jewelry increasingly difficult. After speaking with Jim and getting a detailed description of the area, I headed out with my metal detecting equipment to begin the search.
When searching for lost jewelry in beach sand, staying methodical is important. I carefully worked the target area using overlapping search patterns to ensure nothing would be missed. After a short time, my detector alerted me to a solid target beneath the sand.
Within moments, the sentimental necklace and charm were safely recovered.
Recoveries like this highlight why experience and quick response matter when searching for lost jewelry on New Jersey beaches. Thin chains and smaller charms can easily disappear beneath the sand and become impossible to spot visually. Professional metal detecting equipment greatly improves the chances of recovery.
Thankfully, Jim’s cherished necklace was returned safely, turning a stressful situation into a happy ending.
If you lose a ring, necklace, bracelet, or other jewelry in Ocean City, NJ, contact ringfinderssouthjersey.com⁠ for professional lost jewelry recovery services throughout South Jersey beaches.

Lost Yellow Gold and Diamond Wedding Band at Aulani Beach Ko Olina Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:

This Ring Find began when I got a text from Kyle who was on vacation from Vallejo, California and staying at the Aulani Resort.  While tossing a football he noticed his ring missing and assumed it had fallen off in neck deep high tide water.  Since it was high tide and getting late I told Kyle I would be there first light at the low tide to see if I could find his ring.  Kyle sent some excellent photos to help with the line up but no ring was found.  Then a gentlemen approached me for a Gold Chain recovery a bit farther down the beach,  but I didn’t find that either.  Probably scuba depth!  As I was heading back to my car,  thinking I had failed twice, Kyle came out to the beach.  He assured me that I had certainly covered the right area, but I decided to do a few more grid lines.  As I was returning to shore after that attempt I got a loud number 35 on the Manticore in calf deep water and there in my scoop was Kyle’s Wedding Ring.  It shocked the both of us.  I can only guess the ring was either hit by the football and got flung towards shore or that’s where it actually fell off and wasn’t noticed until much deeper water.  In any case Kyle was blessed with a return.  Aloha to Kyle!
