Lost Wedding Ring Found on the Beach in Wildwood Crest, NJ

Dale was enjoying a sunny afternoon on the beach in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, soaking up the warm weather and relaxing with friends and family. Like many beachgoers, he never expected his day to take a stressful turn. At some point during his visit, Dale’s wedding band slipped off his finger into the sand—a common problem at the beach, especially when the heat and water cause fingers to shrink slightly.

It wasn’t until later that Dale realized the ring was missing. After searching on his own and retracing his steps, he knew he needed professional help. That’s when he found Ring Finders South Jersey and gave me a call. Dale provided the details and marked the approximate area where he believed the ring may have fallen. I arrived within 15 minutes, equipped with my top-of-the-line metal detector and years of experience.

Once I got to the scene, I began a precise grid search in the area Dale indicated. Within just a few minutes, my detector signaled something promising under the sand—and sure enough, it was Dale’s lost wedding ring! His relief and happiness were immediate. There’s nothing better than reuniting someone with a piece of jewelry that holds deep personal meaning.

Lost a ring? DONT WAIT! Call or text NOW! 609-780-4525 Last Tuesday evening I received a call from Brenda. Brenda explained that she was at Sunset Beach with family and friends, to watch the sunset. At some point she was tossing a ball around and her ring, which was a family heirloom passed down thru generations, slipped off her finger and disappeared into the sand. Brenda and her family frantically searched to no avail. I took the short ride over to Sunset beach from home. After wading thru a sea of parked vehicles and people I met up with Brenda and her husband. After a brief discussion and search I  managed to recover her ring in about 10 minutes using my state of the art equipment and skill!
Another relieved client!

Lost engagement ring in Clermont, Florida…found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:





If you lost something important to you…like a ring or keys, cell phone, chain or medallion…in the grass, sand, in the water or even in your car…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about the ring finders recovery service and I am available day or night. Call or text me ASAP!

Anders and his fiancee were enjoying a day at Showcase of Citrus in Clermont with Anders’s four year old son…when the boy, who had somehow got a hold of the fiancee’s white gold diamond engagement ring, decided to throw the ring over a high fence and into the Capybara enclosure! Anders and his fiancee were shocked but figured that since they were throwing carrots and celery and cabbage into the pens where the animals were that maybe the boy figured that was the thing to do. They immediately contacted the management and asked if they could search and retrieve the thrown ring and after an hour of looking they determined that they needed a metal detector to locate their lost engagement ring. They returned the next day with a low end metal detector and ended up more frustrated and still could not find the ring. That led Anders to search online for a metal detecting service and one of my stories came up on the ring finders website and he gave me a call. The next day I met Anders and his fiancee and I had them walk me through what all happened and where the young boy was standing when he threw the ring. The management was extremely easy to work with and gave us permission to enter the enclosure and I began a tight grid search over the determined area. There were two high metal fences surrounding the pen and I was hoping and praying that the thrown ring did NOT fall near the base as it was very heavy with thick grass plus all the metal of the fence which would have made the search allot more difficult and time consuming! About 10 minutes into the search I had covered the area that I figured would be a reasonable throw for a four year old…so I began to grid wider and within minutes I got the perfect signal and there laying in the sand and thin grass was the lost engagement ring…fully exposed and what a beautiful sight it was!!

Anders had just given his fiancee the ring only a few months earlier and they were overwhelmed with relief and joy!

History Repeating Itself Averted! Stainless-Steel Chain and Silver St. Christopher Medal Lost, Found, and Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

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

Just before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, I got a call from Robert asking if I could help find his stainless-steel necklace with a St. Christopher Medal. He told me he had called the Ring Finder closer to Wrightsville Beach, John Finnerin, but didn’t get an answer. I could tell by the desperation in his voice that this necklace was very important to him. I told him I’d give John a call and if I couldn’t get him, I’d be on my way. John didn’t answer, so I called Robert back and told him it’d take me almost an hour and a half to get there. Unfortunately, Robert and his wife were already home from vacation, so I needed a good idea of the search area. On the way up to the beach, I called Robert back and discussed all the necessary details I needed. He told me that he rarely took the necklace off. When they set up their chairs for the day on the beach, he took the necklace off and put it in the chair cup holder. When they were packing up and leaving the next day is when he realized his necklace was gone.

When I arrived, and found a place to park, I called Robert back to confirm I was at the right beach access. He also gave me a couple more landmarks that lined up with where I was. I made my way down to the beach access and out on the beach. There was about a 3-4 ft cut (where the waves wash away the sand). Again, I called Robert to verify whether the cut was there the day before, He said it was and they were sitting in front of that, towards the ocean. I got as much information as I needed and went to work. I started at the top of the cut and took my search out to about 15-20 yards on each side of the middle of the access. Within15 minutes, and as I made my 3rd turn to go in the other direction, I got a loud solid signal. The number on my machine was showing me 29, which normally is a quarter. I dug the shallow target out, turned on my headlamp and looked in the scoop. In the bottom of the scoop, there was St Christopher looking up at me. I walked back to the car and took a picture and sent it to Robert. I then called him, and I could tell he was extremely relieved his necklace, and the medal were found, I told him to send me his address, and I’d get it in the mail the next day.

I was curious about the back story concerning the necklace and medal, so I text him. With his permission here’s his story in his own words. “My dad gave that necklace to me when I was 13 (I’m now 25, so 12 years ago). His dad’s mom gave him the same kind of necklace when my dad was around that age too. He wore it at all times. Well, my dad wore his necklace to Wrightsville Beach one year some time in his early-mid-twenties and he lost it in the ocean. Sadly, his mom had passed away between giving him the necklace and him losing it, so it was a really tragic loss for him. My dad ended up getting another one, but he always warned me to not wear mine into the ocean, To this day, I’ve never worn mine in any body of water for that reason. I’m usually extremely careful with it. However, because I wear it all the time, sometimes I forget when it’s on or off. It feels like a part of me. I didn’t realize I had worn it down to the beach on Monday. I was careless when I took it off and placed it in the cup holder of my beach chair. After being on the beach all day, I had forgotten that I put it there. My wife and I started packing up our things, and it must’ve fallen out into the sand right then and there without me realizing. I wouldn’t realize that it was missing until the next morning when we started packing up to go home. Sorry for the long text! There’s a lot to tell being somewhat of a family tradition.”

Robert – Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me to help find and return this precious treasure back to where it belongs.

I heard from Robert today (Friday) and his treasure is back home!

Lost and found Diamond ring in Whitby Ontario

Contact:

Received a text from Shauna about her loosing her diamond and gold engagement ring. She lost it over a week ago, in her backyard, while planting her vegetable and flower beds. She had taken her ring off, not to loose it, and placed it in her pant pocket. Unfortunately, she was also using the same pocket to hold her phone. About six hours later, while having taken her phone in and out of her pocket numerous times, she realized her ring was missing. The family spent many hours looking for the ring to no avail. She also tried using a metal detector but it only sounded off fifty percent of the time (tried it once the ring was found). Once I arrived, I was able to find her ring within thirty minutes by one of the vegetable Gardens. Another happy ending. Life is good.

Avery was soaking up the sun on the beach in Avalon, NJ, when it was time to leave. In the chaos of packing up, she left her chair with her friend. Little did she know, her treasured class ring had slipped out of the cup holder and fallen onto the sand. When her friends departed, they inadvertently took the chair, leaving the ring behind. Avery reached out to me for help. We met on the beach, and she gave me an idea of where they had been sitting. I began a methodical grid search of the first area, but found no targets. I moved on to the second possible area. Suddenly, my metal detector let out a great signal! Digging down, I was thrilled to see the glint of Avery’s ring in the sand. It was a great day in Avalon, NJ.

I got a call from Kevin asking fr help in locating his girlfriends Nelly’s ring. I told him i’d be there in a few to help. While enjoying the day hanging out on the beach, Nelly took her rings off and put them in her pants pocket, after leaving the beach she noticed that not all her rings were there, one

was missing. They figured it slipped out of her pants pocket and ended up in the sand after they lifted their blanket to leave. I searched the area they were at, but was coming up empty till I reached the outer part of the search area and I finally got a good gold tone on the detector and sure enough out pops her ring from the sand. I knew she was glad, seeing the smile of excitement on her face.

Discovery Bay Dock Dropped Platinum Ring Recovery!!!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

I have been waiting for this collaboration for some time.  A close friend of mine, Evan is an experienced scuba diver with experience working on dive boats and performing lost item recoveries in deep water.  When I got the call for assistance from Sarah to recover a platinum men’s wedding band from 10′ of water, I originally turned down the opportunity.  After thinking about options for providing direction to Sarah, I made contact with Evan for his thoughts.  To my surprise he agreed to provide his services, along with my help, to give it a shot.  I think Sarah was also surprised when I contacted her saying that I had a diver.

Everyone was excited and motivated to perform the search as soon as possible.  We could not have asked for a better weather window with beautiful bluebird skies, a light delta breeze, and water conditions were not too awful either.  It took some time to get set up at the private backyard dock in Discovery Bay.  Our first search of the dark silty waters was not very productive in that we struggled to keep the diver over the target area, but a small stainless screw gave us all hope that it was possible to recover the platinum ring with the metal detector.

A second search was much more productive in the target area, but at a point Evan returned to the surface…the detector (a underwater rated machine) was water logged and quit working. Admittedly, Sarah and I were thinking that recovery was less likely now than ever.  Evan however was not quitting the cause and returned to the 17 foot depth to perform a hand search.  After several minutes he surfaced once more…We had made the recovery!!!

Evan had earlier noted a canvas boat cover in the general area under the dock.  As a last ditch effort he searched the folds of this and low and behold, by nothing but feel, recovered the missing item.  Sarah and I both shouted in celebration and the smile on Evans face bore nothing but pride.

Only moments earlier, a neighbor on a stand-up paddle board had cruised past and stated that she was praying for us!  Was this coincidence or a little divine intervention…I’ll let you decide, but we were glad for the kind gesture.

Congratulations to Sarah and her family for getting the ring back and to our exquisite diver Evan who took on the murky dark waters of the delta and won!  And, as an added bonus, no metal detectors were harmed in the making of this recovery (after drying out, it appears to be operational).

Lost cherished earring missing in Pleasant Hill…FOUND!!!

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

Karen was enjoying her nightly walk with her dog.  They had walked for about 55 minutes and the path meandered around surface streets, a small park, a short trail, the college campus, and a parking lot.  Once home she realized that one of her cherished earrings was missing.  It had been a very warm evening and she remembered her sun hat bothering her a bit and had taken it off several times.  She noted that her earring was more loose than usual and may have popped of while adjusting the hat.

The following morning she had walked the path again in an effort to locate the missing object.  Being ever resourceful, when she did not locate it herself, she sought help.  A brief look at The Ring Finders put her in touch with her most local agent.

I was at my boys swim meet in Concord, CA when she contacted me.  I let her know I could be available for a search later that afternoon and so we met around 5:30 pm that evening.  Karen took me for a walk of the route as I asked questions seeking details about the how, when, and where the earring might likely have gone missing.  It was apparent that most of the areas were not going to be metal detectable and that a lost item could be easily identified by the public.  That was until we entered a giant parking lot.  As we walked through I noticed a sparkle…broken glass!  And another…more broken glass!  I almost did not investigate the next sparkle, chalking it up to the myriad of broken bottles and glass throughout the lot.  I was super glad I did because…We made the recovery!!!

Karen did not notice that she had walked me right to the exact spot she lost the earring and that not only did I spot it, but I had picked it up.  She seemed a bit startled when I asked her to stop.  Later she would state that she thought I was going to rob her in the abandoned parking lot! I showed her the item and in disbelief she sought out the other earring thinking I must have somehow taken possession of it.  She was speechless and stunned, still in disbelief that after our long walk together, it was back in her hands.

Well Karen, It was the real deal and I could not have been happier to assist you with locating this beautiful earring.  I rather enjoyed our walk and our conversations.  I hope you never have to go through that again, but in the event you do…I’m here!

Check out this beautiful earring recovered from the beach!

The Bay Area Ring Finders Brendon Chapman… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP     925-580-2590

When Betty walk onto Upton Beach, near Stinson Beach, CA a large gust of wind tried to blow her sun hat right off of her head. In the process, the adjustable chin strap caught on her earring and popped it right off.  She did what most people do and sought out to procure a metal detector to locate her prized earring in the dry sand.  She made several attempts at locating it to no avail.

By luck her daughter plays soccer in Marin…remember my earlier post from March, Lost Platinum and Diamond Wedding Band…Recovered from the Soccer Pitch?  As it turns out she plays soccer with the family from this story!  The family gave her my contact information and Betty reached out for assistance.

I scheduled to travel the one and a half hour drive to Upton Beach at my very next availability.  In tow, I brought my beautiful wife and toddler to take advantage of leaving the triple digit weather for the cooler coastal air. We arrived slightly before Betty and made our way to the scene of the mishap.  After a brief chat with her I got under way searching the dry sand near the entrance to the beach.  In less than 3 minutes time and even before she could finish the search contract, the first target, a perfect 6 VDI for the Equinox…We made the recovery!!!

Betty was stunned that it had happened so quickly.  She admitted to having her doubts after searching so many times, but was ecstatic to have the zephyr blown earring back in her possession. I could definitely see why, as it was a stunner!!!

I love this work!! Anyone who performs it knows just how gratifying it really is.  Thank you to Betty for trusting me with the recovery and to Eric for making the referral.  It was a beautiful morning at the beach and a beautiful story for the books.
