I received a message from Ken the other day. He explained that his wife was sitting with their daughter just at the edge of the water on the beach in Wildwood Crest . The pair were chatting about his wife, Shelly’s, ring which she had just had repaired and had taken it off to show to her daughter. While doing so, a larger wave rushed in and startled the pair causing the ring to be flung behind them towards the upper beach as they were facing the water when it happened. The ring landed in the shallow water and disappeared. Shelly was devastated, and the family searched for hours trying to locate the ring. Luckily, Ken, Shelly’s husband, did an excellent job noting the approximate location and took note of the time as the tide was moving in. We discussed the event a bit and decided to wait until the tide was heading back out so the water would be at a reasonable depth. I met the couple on the beach at just about dark around 9pm and began searching. About 15 minutes later I heard the signal I was searching for, 1 scoop later the ring was back on Shelly’s finger. She was elated to say the least! The couple informed me that Ken had proposed to Shelly over 40 years prior just a few blocks down beach. Another relieved & happy couple!
Kens and Shelly’s review of service:
“Jeffrey came at dusk walked into the ocean and went to work finding my wife’s engagement ring. 10 min later he saved our vacation and I can’t thank him enough. Thank you!”

Bracelet lost in Sand at Will Rogers Star Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)

If you lose something important, please call right away, because time and other variables will work against a successful recovery. Steve Smith: 310-953-5268.

Gabriella called, having lost a bracelet that meant a lot to her, in the sand at the beach earlier that day. It was getting late, so I decided to go quickly in order to get parking because the beach closes when the sun goes down.

Gabriella was not able to be there to show me the spot, but gave me enough information to put me in the area of the loss. When I got there I sent her a picture, and we were able to narrow the search area even more. I searched for about 15 minutes before I found the bracelet. It looked like someone might have stepped on it because it had been bent out of shape, but with no damage of any kind. We arranged to meet the next day for the return, and that is when she explained that the bracelet was given to her by her partner on their trip to Japan, and had a very deep sentimental meaning for her.

Somers Point NJ Lost Engagement Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

A Lost Engagement Ring at Somers Point Turns Into a Miracle Recovery

What started as a beautiful family beach day quickly turned into panic when I realized I had lost my engagement ring at Somers Point Bay Beach in Somers Point, New Jersey.

This beach means a lot to me. My grandmother had a camper at Colonial Meadows Campground, and we spent every summer here. I brought my toddler and 3-month-old daughter to the same spot, hoping to recreate those special memories. Unfortunately, I never imagined I’d end the day searching for a priceless piece of my past — my engagement ring.

While applying sunscreen, I removed both my engagement ring and wedding band and placed them in the cup holder of our wagon. At some point, the rings fell into the sand. About 40 minutes later, while feeding my baby, I looked down and realized they were gone.

Panic hit me like a wave.

I found my wedding band buried in the sand, but my engagement ring was missing. Two kind moms saw me searching and jumped in to help. Despite our efforts, the ring was nowhere to be found.

Then someone mentioned calling a professional ring finder.

Enter John from Ring Finders South Jersey. I called him, not expecting much — but to my surprise, he answered right away. Though I couldn’t meet him at the beach (I was already home making dinner), I texted him photos of the exact area we were in.

He confidently said he’d search that evening.

And he did. Not only did John find my engagement ring in the sand — but he also drove it to my house and personally returned it. I was shocked, overwhelmed with emotion, and so incredibly thankful.

John’s kindness, dedication, and skill are something I’ll never forget. He turned a nightmare into a miracle. If you’ve lost jewelry at the beach, in the yard, or anywhere in between, don’t wait — call the ring finder in South Jersey.

These professionals use specialized metal detecting equipment and years of expertise to recover lost rings, necklaces, keys, and more. And in my case? They return something that’s truly priceless.

Thank you, John. You’re a hero.

I was tagged by several folks in a post on Cape May Live. The poster was asking for people to keep an eye out for her husband’s gold ring that slipped off in the surf. I messaged the couple and we chatted back and forth about what exactly happened and where. She was able to outline the specific area and time of day that the loss occurred. Timing wise, I felt that the best chances would be during the low tide cycle the following morning. I took the 5 minute ride for home yesterday morning and began searching. After about 1 hour or so I got the signal I was searching for and out popped the ring from thigh deep surf. The couple confirmed the inscribed date and picked up the ring yesterday afternoon. They both thought the ring was “gone forever” after 27 years of marriage. Another happy couple!
The Verners review of service:
“Jeff Laag is truly amazing! I don’t know how he did it, but he found my husband’s wedding band that was lost in knee deep water at the cape may beach. Don’t hesitate to look him up to find your lost jewelry!”

Lost A Ring In Brigantine?
Dont Wait!

Call John Now!
215-850-0188

Friend’s bachelorette weekend in Brigantine, NJ and all you want to do is get a good tan in. On day two of beautiful weather, drinking rosé, eating Wawa sandwiches, and laughing about life, we suddenly see our bride jump up and say she can’t find her ring. We all immediately run over and are on our knees digging through the sand. The sun is shining on us, some tears were shed, texts to each other’s significant others is in full swing and we decide to give the bride some space. Some took turns talking to the bride, random civilians pulled out their metal detectors or sifted through trash, others comforted from afar, and one friend decided to draw a ring on the sand. We felt helpless. Once John appeared, it was so simple. He found her ring in under 5 minutes and we all ran to her once she confirmed she had it. If you are ever in this terrible position, please call John. Thank You!!!

I received a message from Genevieve Sunday afternoon explaining that she had lost her wedding ring in the sand while at the beach with her family. She had placed her ring in the cupholder of her beach chair to apply sunscreen. Later, her husband folded and relocated their belongings as the tide was moving. He had no idea that his wifes ring was in the chair when he folded the chair and once folded the ring disappeared into the sand. After the couple realized what had happened they began frantically searching for the ring. Other beach goers saw them searching and pitched in to search as well, even one of the lifeguards lent a hand! After a while, the group came up empty handed. Thats when Genevieve reached out for help. Usually I dont travel to Brigantine on Sundays as Northbound traffic can be horrendous but I could tell that Genevieve was upset and really needed some help. I took the ride up and met with the couple on 31st street beach. After a brief discussion I began searching the areas outlined by her husband. About 45 minutes later I had her ring in the scoop. Genevieve explained that the ring was so special as it contained diamonds from her grandmothers wedding ring and was very special to the couple! The entire beach was thrilled to see the ring! Another happy couple!
Genevieves review of service:
“Your service was wonderful: you were calm, professional and reassuring. Of course, you found my ring. So the service speaks for itself – but your customer service was really perfection !”

Stunning 18k diamond and sapphire ring recovered from the lake

  • from Vernon (British Columbia, Canada)

Gorgeous 18k ring scooped from the lake

It still has the sand on it!

Late in the afternoon I received a call from Tammy. She had recently driven from Fort St. John in northern British Columbia Canada to our beautiful Okanagan to shop for items she could not find at home. She decided to stop along the highway to spend a bit of time by the lake and ventured into the water.  While in the water, she unfortunately lost her footing and fell into the lake. When she left the water and returned to her truck she suddenly realized her ring was gone. Tammy was very upset and sought help from several strangers who aided her in looking for her lost ring. They even rented a metal detector but sadly they were not able to locate the ring. A friend told her about The Ring Finders and she called me and asked me to help find her lost ring. I told Tammy that I would meet her within the hour, packed my gear and headed to her location. They showed me where she had entered the water and approximately where she had fallen. At first I thought that the recovery would be very simple as it was not a busy public beach and the ring would be easy to locate. Unfortunately, the water was full of trash that made the search quite difficult. I checked the area where she first fell and was not successful so I started my grid towards the shore where she originally exited the lake. A few minutes had passed and I could sense that Tammy was fearing the worst and may never again see her most prized ring. I got a really nice signal closer to shore and there in the scoop was a gorgeous 18k white gold ring with diamonds and sapphires. Tears of joy came across Tammy when she put the ring back on her finger. She could not believe that I was able to locate her ring in the lake!

I have to say, and in fact I told her so, that I thought it was one of the most beautiful rings I had ever seen.

 

I can’t believe you found it! I am so happy.

*** Master Key for maintaining restrooms and city facilities lost in beach sand. Found and returned to a city worker. I got a call from a worker at a Southern California beach. He was concerned that his job may be in jeopardy if his boss found out he lost this important master key..

After hearing that he was sure the key had to be in the sand at a certain volleyball court, I told him we had a chance to find it with a metal detector.

He was unable to meet me at the location which wasn’t a problem. He was able to give me the number of the volleyball court.

I drove 5 miles to the location and was able to find the key before dark. Also I found a maintenance rake that was left at the volleyball court.

We were able to meet that same night to return his key.. and the rake.

Lost diamond wedding ring Republican River Recovered

This story starts a week earlier with a call about a lost item in Lake MacConaughy in Nebraska. The area I was given was the largest specific area I’ve ever been given. It was doable but the hours I calculated to do it was beyond what I had and was not looking forward to it. I went anyway. I knew that if I swung over it I’d find it. 16 hours of water searching later without success I started some shallow water searching. Just then I swung over a class ring. Hopefully I can get that returned. I headed back to my chair to send the class ring information to Mark my history friend who loves to do these types of searches and he is good at it. I was beat down, tired and trying to collect my thoughts on my game plan. I then noticed that I missed a phone call and text message. Without finding that class ring I might not have looked at my phone for hours and seen the call for help. I read the message and then listened to the voice mail. An urgency behind the questioning voice asking me if I ever do recoveries at the Republican river by Harlen lake gave me a second wind for the trip. I messaged back and Kaitlyn begin to explain what happened. Without knowing all the details I immediately started packing up to make the 2.5 hour trip. As I traveled we continued to communicate and work out a game plan. They were going to meet me and help me find the spot where the loss happened. Jayson and Kaitlyn showed up from Kansas within minutes of my arrival. I knew we were going to make a good team the way we were able to do this. NOW the story. Every year April, Jaysons mother and her family and friends would do a group float down the Republican……Except this year was different. Andrew, Aprils husband wasn’t on the trip, he had passed away a few months earlier after a long and courageous battle with pancreatitis and the complications that came with it. April, supported by her friends and family, embarked on what was supposed to be a great day enjoying the precious family she has. As they begin the relaxing and fun time tubing the river, she put her hand down to try and stop herself so she could help someone who got a little too close to an over hanging branch into the river. She felt it….the feeling no body wants to feel. Her wedding ring got pulled off and dissappeared into the strong current of the river. Devastated, she immediately stopped and started to look for it. One by one others came to look for the priceless sentimental symbol of her bond with Andrew. With no success, they had no choice but to continue on with the trip. With a heavy heart April tried to enjoy the time with her company. The next day Kaitlyn with determination was on the internet searching for anything. Anything that could help her find Aprils ring. That’s when she came across theringfinders.com. She eventually contacted me and divine intervention had it that I was far west from my home and was beat down from the 16 hours I had just spent on another water recovery and needing to decompress. This was exactly what I needed. It took some good teamwork to find the exact tree and then hike all the equipment in. Jayson and Kaitlyn were so helpful and because of their determination to help his mother get her ring back we made quick work of the recovery. Through multiple texts, facetiming and even a simulated float down the river in a tube that we found in the bushes we were able to come to an agreement on the spot. I geared up and started upstream and even with the tree. Slowly moving with the current in a straight line, I got a signal. The signal I knew that I was looking for with a white gold ring could fall right on a pop tab signal depending on the KT of the gold. Using my pinpointer I then carefully worked the target into my hand. I pulled it to the surface. Yep, it was a pop tab. This could be a very long search as I have literally experienced 100’s of pop tabs before on other recoveries. Another foot or two downstream of that signal was another signal. A pop tab comes in no lower than a 25 on my VDI and this was a 21/22 and a nickel comes in at a 20. I tried not to smile and give false hopes as I carefully used my pinpointer to narrow down the signal to a spot no bigger than a quarter. I then grabbed the handful of rock and sand bringing it to the surface. The whole time keeping my pinpointer by my hand to make sure the target is in my hand. I opened up my hand. We all looked in disbelief. It was the ring. I held it up and relief hit us. It was over. They had put me in the spot, literally right on it. A quick fist bump and we headed for the shore and then hiked back to the cars. Jayson and Kaitlyn headed off for Kansas to surprise his mom, April. I stayed and thanked God for the success and to reflect on the weekend. It was my greatest honor to be entrusted with the recovery of such a priceless sentimental ring.

White Gold Wedding Set Lost in Pool Area – Found and Returned Cherry Grove SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

On 7/22/25, I received a text from Kendra just after 6:30 am saying, “Hello. Hope I’m not waking you. What do you charge to search for a missing ring? We’re staying in Cherry Grove. I believe I lost my ring while playing volleyball in the pool.”  It was a couple of hours later before I saw her text. I told her how my services work including the St. Jude’s donation I make with any money I get. She responded back that “we’re here until Saturday. I would love help finding it. We have obviously looked a lot lol, but no luck.” I called her and got more details and told her I could be there within the hour; I had a couple of things to do. I also ask for the address, which she sent.

When I got to the rental she was staying, I text her saying “Here.” She text back that she was by the pool. When we met, she advised me that they had checked the pool and surrounding area. Unfortunately, there was a metal fence surrounding the pool area. Luckily, I had brought my gold bug with a small coil and my pin pointer. I searched all along the parameter and came up with nothing but trash. I noticed a couple of bushes inside the fence with rocks as landscape, so I checked all around those. At this point, I was out of options and stopped to talk with Kendra. As we’re talking, Kendra said, “What is that?” I turned around to look and there was Kendra’s beautiful white gold wedding set laying on the concrete in plain view. I reached down and picked it up and handed it to Kendra. There was absolutely no explanation as to how the rings were just laying there. Thinking back on it, in the process of looking along the inside of the fence, I did move a couple of chairs a little to get them out of the way, but nothing major. We’ll never know for sure how Kendra’s rings ended up in plain view. The important thing is they’re back on Kendra’s finger where they belong.

Kendra – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure, however it happened!!
