Lost a ring? DONT WAIT!
Call or text 609-780-4525 NOW!
Received a call from Davids mother, about a week ago, explaining that her son dropped his ring on that beach “at some point” during their day on the beach at The Beach Club here in Cape May. Took a ride over and met up with David and Beach Club staff. After a brief hunt I managed to recover Davids ring. Another happy client!
This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Tim who lives on Oahu and was staying at the Aulani with family. I was in lagoon 3 but no one answered so I had to leave. When I got nearly home Tim returned my call. I was going to try Saturday morning but the forecast was horrible so I changed to Sunday AM. Tim told me the ring was lost straight down from the chapel in chest deep water. The morning tide was just right. About 20 minutes into the hunt I finally got a nice tone on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Tim’s ring in the scoop. I didn’t know he had been watching me from the shore and when I finished showering up he approached me and identified himself. I thought « Wow » this is awesome I don’t have to call and coordinate a return. Tim was obviously overjoyed with the recovery. Aloha to Tim!
This adventure started about a quarter to 7 pm, on May 15th, when I got a text saying, “Hi! This is Morgan A. I recently lost my necklace today on the North end of Myrtle Beach a few yards to the right of the parasailing set up and banana boats. I am wondering if you are able to find it. We go back home tomorrow to Idaho, and I am desperate.” I called the number attached to the text and talked to Morgan. I asked her if someone would be able to meet me to show me the area it was lost in. Unfortunately, she was an hour and a half away, so that was out of the question. Next, I asked her if she could send me a Google Earth Map with an outline around the area, which she could and did. She described the necklace as a thin 14K gold chain with a turquoise and gold pendant. I told her that I doubted I would be able to find the chain because thin gold chains are almost impossible to find with a metal detector. I had her describe the pendant, and she said it was turquoise and gold and about the size of a dime. At this point I told her that I thought we’d have a chance finding the pendant. I told her I was on my way, grabbed my detector and was out the door.
When I got there, I verified the area with the Google map she sent as well as the bar area she mentioned when we talked. She had also mentioned a big sign with the number 29 on it. I wasn’t sure what she was talking about until I got there and saw a rental chair spot that had a big sign with 29 on it, now it made sense. I started a grid search and then took a video of the area I was searching and sent it to her for confirmation. She confirmed the area and told me it was a little more to the right and almost behind the bar. I wasn’t sure what kind of signal, if any, I’d get if I hit the pendant. So, I was checking every signal I hit, which was a lot of pieces of trash I had to check. After almost an hour and a half I got a solid signal and a 6 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Knowing what I was looking for, I felt this put me in the ballpark, or at least I hoped! I took a shallow scoop of sand and as I lifted up the scoop. I saw a quick glimmer of a gold chain fall out of the scoop and disappear back in the sand. I stuck my hand in the sand and tried to feel the chain. Bingo!! I pulled the chain out, saw the turquoise pendant and knew I had it. It was dark by then, so I packed up, chain in hand, and left the beach. I found an area with light and took a picture and sent it to Morgan and then called her. When she answered, I said “check your text.” Then she said, “you found it!?” She asked if she could meet me, it’d take about 45 minutes. So, I happily waited until they showed up. When they arrived, I got to meet Morgan and her boyfriend, Terreck. Morgan and Terreck were so happy and excited. The back story to the necklace is that Terreck had bought it for her about 4 months ago. It was the first gift he had gotten her, so their story together began.
Morgan and Terreck – Thank you for allowing me to help find your lost treasure. I wish you two only the best life has to offer.

It started as a relaxing day at the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey quickly turned into a moment of panic for one couple after they realized both a wedding ring and engagement ring had slipped off somewhere in the sand. The couple had been walking back to their beach rental when the bride noticed her rings were no longer on her finger.
Frantic, they retraced their steps across several blocks of soft sand but couldn’t find the precious jewelry. As the sun began to set, hope seemed to be slipping away until someone recommended calling Ring Finders South Jersey.

This afternoon, while browsing the North Myrtle Beach FB page, I saw a couple of notifications referring someone to contact me. Looking at the original post it read in part – “Anyone have a metal detector and a few minutes. A young man lost his wedding ring in the sand.” There wasn’t a way for me to comment, so I just had to wait for a possible text. Within a couple of minutes, the following text popped up in my Business Suite, “Hi there! I’m looking for some assistance in finding a ring that my husband lost about an hour ago on North Myrtle Beach! How might I go about getting some assistance? Any leads would be so greatly appreciated?” I texted her back with my phone number asking her to call me, which she did. I got additional details, including her name, Skylar and the address and was on my way.
When I arrived at the Villas, Skylar was waiting in the parking lot and walked me out to the beach. The story was that her husband had taken his ring off and stuck in the cup holder of the chair. As has happened so many times in the past, everything is good until the family packs up to leave. Then it becomes one of the “UH, OH” moments and the ring is buried in the sand. Skylar had marked off the area with a big circle in the sand where they had been sitting. I turned on the Equinox 800, told Skylar it’ll take about 2 minutes and started a grid search. Well, in less than 30 seconds I got a booming signal, dug a scoop of sand and saw the ring fall out of the scoop as I pulled up the sand. Skylar was extremely happy!!
Skylar – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!

Tacia called me on The Ringfinders web site in distress that she had lost her Grandmothers Wedding ring and Engagement ring, after telling me the story about how she lost them in her back yard I assured her that I would find them. The wedding ring and engagement ring were worn by her Grandmother all her life until she passed away at 98 years old. They both were given to Tacia as a heirloom so she was stressed out that she could not find them in the grass, but my assurance made made her feel better. Once at her home, it took me less than five minutes to find them both, it made her Mothers Day.

Nichole called me about her wedding ring of 33 years that went missing. She was at the gym and like many times before put her ring in her sports bra while doing dead lifts and then finished up her lifting. Later at home she decided to do some garden work which involved all sorts of things. We walked the acreage and I got a good idea of the area she worked in. She didn’t realize she didn’t have her ring on till after she was done with her shower after all the outside work. She had talked with the gym managers and went back and look for it. These searches are difficult but by talking through all the details and using my experience, we put together a game plan. Since she had put the ring there before and it wasn’t lost I was betting that it made it home. She was going to search a few areas including her car again and the house while I worked the outside. 3 hours later in the last 100 square feet of area to search it happened.

If Cheryl knew that cleaning up the yard with her husband Don would cause her to lose her wedding ring, I think she would have stayed inside that day. However, hindsight is 20/20, and Cheryl had the best intentions while removing all the rocks from the yard while her husband mowed. Every little stone and big stone were thrown over the edge of a hill next to their house. Cheryl had no idea that the littlest of all of these stones was on her white gold wedding bands. After discovering the tragedy of her lost ring, the search was on. Metal detectors, flashlights, brother in-laws all came out to help. With the ring’s hiding spot not found, Don looked up metal detectors. I got a call in the afternoon on the 3rd of May. We made plans for me to come out the following day. After arriving to Cheryl’s house, I began recording my YouTube video. A few stops and starts of the tape and a redirection by Cheryl, pointed me in the right direction. I just so happened to walk straight to her ring. The happy ending is captured forever, in the last moments of the video. Cheryl told me off camera that she was very upset about her lost ring. As she was crying by the fire pit last night her husband Don told me he made a promise to her that he would find her ring. The Ring Finders…. helping a husband keep his promise since 2009.
Received a text from a lady that said her husband of 51 years had lost his wedding ring at a small lake/pond while fishing with his grandkids.
As he was reaching to get a bobber he slipped and fell into the water. That’s when his ring slid off and he lost his cell phone in the process too. He found the cell but couldn’t find the ring. He also said a buddy of his tried to find it with his metal detector but since they didn’t come up with it, he thought it had to have gone deeper in the water/further out from the bank. Oh and the bank was made up of rip raft rock so that made it a bit more of a challenge.
I started scanning the rocks hoping they missed it and I wouldn’t need to get wet. I even scanned the waters edge before getting wet. I didn’t come up with a signal.
So I decided I had to get wet! I realized that I had forgot my weight belt, so fortunately they had two 10lbs weights that I was able to feed my belt through to hold me down, so i could scan the 3-5 feet water about 3-7 feet out.
After 4 hours of all that, I decided to scan the waters edge again (made like the 4th-5th time I had scanned this area between my two set ups)! I get a hit and I tell the gentleman, “I AM NOT SURE HOW I MISSED THIS SIGNAL LAST 3-5 TIMES!”
I grab my pinpointer, get near the waters edge and come up with a big GOLD RING!!! It had been less than a foot off the bank (where he lost his phone) and about 8 inches of water! UGH! Glad i found it but, well you know! Lol
We walk back to the house, his wife didn’t know I had found it yet. We go into the house and I say, “WELL WE GAVE IT A GOOD SHOT, BUT ALL FOUND WAS THIS GOLD THING!”
The transition from sadness/disappointment to literly tears of joy was priceless!! She comes up to me to take the ring and gave me a big hug, keep in mind im still soaking wet! She said I don’t care! Then she turned to her husband, they hugged and both cried a little more!
This is why I do this and what I live for/love to experience!
