Margate NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I recently got a call from Sami and Mitch about a lost wedding band in Margate, NJ.
They had been enjoying a sunny day on the beach when disaster struck—Mitch’s wedding band disappeared.
The ring had only been on his finger for one month.
They searched the sand by hand but couldn’t find anything.
That’s when they reached out to me for help.

As a professional ring finder with a metal detector, I’ve recovered many lost rings across the Jersey Shore.
I met Sami and Mitch at the location where the ring was lost.
They explained exactly how and where it may have fallen off.
Details like that are essential when starting a metal detector search.

We narrowed the area down quickly and began scanning.
My metal detector can locate rings buried deep in the sand.
After a few careful sweeps, I heard the unmistakable sound.
I dug down gently—and there it was: Mitch’s lost wedding band.
It had settled several inches beneath the soft beach sand.

They were thrilled.
Big smiles, huge relief, and heartfelt thanks followed.
Returning that wedding band meant everything to them—and to me.

Helping couples recover lost wedding bands in Margate NJ is something I truly enjoy.
Every recovery is unique, and each one tells a story.
In this case, quick action helped us get the ring back fast.

Lost jewelry can sink quickly in soft sand, especially near the shoreline.
Time and tides don’t wait, so acting fast is key.
If you lose a ring, mark the area and call a professional.
The sooner you act, the better the chance of success.

Many beachgoers don’t realize how useful a metal detector can be.
It’s not about treasure hunting—it’s about helping people.
The look on someone’s face when their ring is found? Priceless.

If you’ve lost a ring in Margate NJ or anywhere on the Jersey Shore, don’t panic.
You don’t have to search alone or rent a metal detector.
Experienced ring finders know how to scan efficiently and spot buried rings quickly.

I’m always ready to help reunite people with their lost items.
From wedding bands to engagement rings, I’ve recovered them all.
And every time, it’s just as meaningful as the first.

Thanks again to Sami and Mitch for trusting me with their search.
I’m so glad I was able to return their lost wedding band.

Enjoy the rest of your summer—and keep that ring safe!

Wedding ring lost Amarillo,Texas – Found

  • from Amarillo (Texas, United States)
Contact:

A water ballon fight with grandkids resulted in losing a man’s gold wedding ring. They contacted me the next morning, July 15,2025. I arrived that afternoon and showed them how my detector works, Whites MXT. As I started searching I asked Michael if he would like to use my spare detector and help search. After a very short tutorial Michael joined me in the search of their large yard. 46 minutes later the ring was found! But not by me. My first time to have the victim find his own lost ring!! This was amazing for me and for Michael. It is always so much fun to recover lost jewelry but this one was a rare treat indeed.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring, Recovered, Michiana Shores Beach, Lake Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Anthony lost his wedding band a few days ago, in lake Michigan, while diving to catch a football. He said he was about waist deep and somewhat in line with the one buoy marker at this stop (Stop 37). He happened upon my information while searching on Facebook. He was back home in Illinois, but his dad was able to drop me off to perform the search (no public parking anywhere within a mile). Search took about 8 minutes. Thanks to good known location of where he knew it slipped off and very calm lake conditions since the loss.

Lost Tungsten Wedding Band at Wheeler Army Air Forces Base…FOUND!!!

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

This ring find began when I got a text from Army Specialist Jay who while doing his physical training run, went to give his oncoming fellow soldier a high five and his Tungsten Wedding  ring flew off into the grass along the path and disappeared.  I agreed to head home at lunch grab my gear and come to the base to search.  We agreed 1:30 would work.  We met in the parking lot nearest the Main Gate and got into my vehicle to go to the ring loss area nearby.  Jay walked with me along the path and checked each of the targets in the grass to save time.  We did the side away from the road first thinking that would be the direction of launch after the High-Five!  No ring found.  Then we did the side toward the road.  About 5 minutes into that side I got a nice tone and perfect dot on the Manticore.  We both looked down and could see the ring lying in the short grass.  Jay was obviously relieved and even thought about buying a metal detector himself.  Welcome to the adventure!  Aloha to Jay!

I justed turned off my light to call it a night when my phone rang then stopped, 2 minutes later I got a text from Letishe asking for help in finding her husbands wedding ring. I called her and we agreed to meet at 2 o’clock when I got off work. They were at the hospital leaving and her husband was twisting his ring on his finger when it slipped off and disappeared into the grass along the sidewalk. They looked but couldnt find it. Letishe even went and got a flashlight and was looking for it till 11:30 that night. With no luck she googled how to find a ring in grass which led her to me. I met her at the hospital and she showed me the area where they were and i got to work. I thought I was going to have my hands full with the amount of signals I was getting but I took a sweep and heard a great signal about a foot off the sidewalk pulled out my pinpointer stuck it into the grass and it vibrated and I pshed the grass aside and there was her husbands ring. Got lucky on this one. I showed her I found it and she let out a scream of happiness and gave me a big hug, then called her husband with the good new. A great happy ending for all.

Centerville, MA Beach Holds a Ring for 3 Days, Found and returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 8, 2025 I was having my second cup of coffee, catching up on the news and weather – thunder storms in the afternoon when a text came in for help with a lost wedding ring. I read the following: “I’m Mattie and I lost my wedding band at the beach. I found your profile on ring finders and was hoping maybe you could help. … I know it’s been a few days of shifting sands and beach goers, but I was curious if you might be available to check it out. … I’m at peace if the ring ends up being a beach treasure in the end: it was a family ring but my mother and her parents were huge beach lovers and in way it would be poetic. … it was a ring my Yia Yia (grandma) gave to my mom, who gave to me when I was about to get married and we used for our ceremony! I’ve worn it since. It was loose on my finger in the water so I asked my older daughter to bring it back to the chairs we had while I stayed with my younger daughter (safety first!) but unfortunately she dropped it in the way. I saw how heartbroken she was and I just knew that the right thing in the moment was to not stress and move on.”

What could I do but assure Mattie that I would go and search the area. I would also reach out to other detectorists that I know frequent the area in case I did not find the ring myself. Once on the beach and in the area, I could not guess why that one area was void of towel and sun umbrellas. There was one person with a metal detecting scoop, but no detector in sight. At the end of my first pass I stopped and talked with the gentleman with the scoop. A local that regularly detects the area. I told him what I was looking for and he assured me he had not found much of anything over the past three days. Oh well, back to detecting … a coin spill of 45 cents … well no one gets it all. Another two steps and another target was beneath my coil, a quick scoop and it was in my scoop. Boy will Mattie be happy was my thought as I saw what had to be her ring, and it was. No one had found the ring in its three days in the sand. It was truly a lucky day for Mattie and a happy ending to the story for her older daughter.

As the family had returned to New York, I would mail the ring the next day and wait for a picture for the Book of Smiles. Yes, I just love my hobby for making happen endings to stories just like this one.

Lost and found gold wedding ring Sandbanks Ontario

Contact:

Received a call earlier today from Oscar about him having lost his gold wedding ring yesterday while swimming at Outlet beach in Sandbanks Provincial park. Weather was calling for severe thunderstorms warning early afternoon but once the bad weather rolled through, I headed to Sandbanks for the ring recovery. Time is of the essence to get searching quickly as there are a lot of metal detectorists looking for gold at this location. Having talked with Oscar extensively, I was able to use Google Earth, mark important reference points and send him back the picture to confirm I was going to be looking for his ring in the right area. Once at the beach, we had a quick FaceTime session to confirm the location. I headed in the water and started to grid the area carefully. Within 30 minutes of the search, I heard the sweet sound of his gold ring, at about 5 feet deep, within the general area he had lost it while swimming. We met later on this evening, with his lovely wife Samantha, and returned his ring. Really nice and sweet couple and extremely happy to be reunited with this special wedding ring. Another happy ending. Life is good!

Heirloom and Honeymoon Blues – Man’s Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned Litchfield, SC

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

On 7/12/25 just before 11 a.m. I got a phone call from Felix saying he lost his wedding band about an hour before. A quick check of the tide tables and he lost it less than an hour after high tide. Low tide was just after 3 p.m. so we definitely had a great chance of finding his ring. He told me he had been doing a little body surfing as well as standing in knee deep water. At one point, a wave knocked him down and he stuck both hands in the wet sand to push himself back up. He didn’t realize the ring was lost until he and his new bride of a week on their Honeymoon, were leaving the beach. She noticed his ring was gone and asked him “Where’s your wedding ring?” Felix didn’t say, but I assume the panic set in.  Felix and I made arrangements to meet up at the beach at 2 p.m.

Because of lack of parking, Felix and I met up in a hotel parking lot. I followed him and we found parking on a side street and walked a couple of blocks to the beach. Once on the beach, we probably walked at least a mile down the beach to where Felix and his bride had been. Felix showed me the north and south border lines, and I and Felix agreed where I should start my perpendicular east/west grid search. It wasn’t a big search area, maybe 25-30 yards across. I was just above the mid tide line and walking out to about knee-waist deep. I was deeper than I needed to be, but I wanted to make sure I over covered the area. I stopped to talk to Felix a couple of times to make sure I was doing what he thought was the right area. At one point he mentioned drying off under a tent, so I wanted to hit that area if I couldn’t find the ring in the wet sand. I also thought if I couldn’t find it in my search area, I’d extend the search up to a little higher on the beach. After doing a low and slow search, the only target I came up with was a bottle cap. I knew with a man’s gold ring the number I was looking for on my machine, which would be between 13-15 depending on thickness and width. With the equinox, pull tabs usually ring up 14 and bottle caps usually ring up as 15. After I finished the search area, I stopped and talked to Felix. He asked me if I’d search a little higher on the beach, so we were both on the same page. I started at the south boarder line and started a north/south grid. As I got to the north board on my first line, I got a loud solid signal that jumped between 13 and 15. I was confident that I hit his ring and looked over at him. The only thing that puzzling me, was the machine was showing the target about 8 inches deep, which the ring shouldn’t have been that deep that quick. It took me 3 scoops to get the target out of the hole. When I got the target out of the hole and dumped the sand on the beach, I spread it out with my foot. Looking down at the sand, I saw the outline of the ring nestled in the sand. Picked it up, bushed it off and handed it to Felix. He was very excited. This is when he told me that not only was he on his honeymoon, but the ring was originally his grandfathers. After time, the ring became Felix’s father’s wedding ring. Now, the ring is his with all the history and stories included.

Felix – Thank you for allowing me to help find your very special lost ring and get it back where it belongs.

Jim

Lost, Found, Returned Oura Ring a Birthday Present Sandwich, MA by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 12, 2025 Lost in beach sand just after applying sunscreen and trying to pick it up and put it back on. It just slipped off and into the sand. Several fellow beach goers searched to no avail. A Google search lead Imari to TheRingFinders.com and my phone. My usual response put Imari at ease and knowing I would be there within a half an hour. I made it by one minute.

A quick review of how the ring want missing and a recheck of its position on the beach with a cellphone application got me into the area. The first grid was not holding the ring so it was off to the second position that the application showed as the rings location. I admitted along the way that I was unsuccessful for finding the only other Oura ring I had searched for. But there was a good reason, it had been lost inside a car and the application defaulted to the last ping and not the current location. I guess that the application has improved in the last two years.

Back to the search… Dang, believe it or not, but Imari’s footprint was right on the precise spot that my detector alerted me to a buried object. And, yes, the object was the Oura Ring.

A few pictures were taken and a few detecting stories relayed before I was given two chocolate chip cookies that I said I would take home and make into an ice cream sandwich. As good as I know it will be, I will have to admit that the Ice Cream Sandwich in Sandwich, MA will be hard to beat. They make fresh cookies each morning and stuff with 4-5 scoops of you favorite flavors of ice cream. A must for anyone visiting Cape Cod

Sunshine Diamond Earring Found and Returned by Richard Browne in Dennis Ma

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 7, 2025 Dana lost an earring, a sharp eyed swimmer had found the wire half and returned it to Dana. Dana also snorkeled for some time but could not find the diamond studded sunshine disk.

The old saying about “When it rains, it pours.” was surely true on this day. I had been called to find a ring that was lost on the 3rd of July when the text to help to find Dana’s sunshine lost in a fresh water pond showed up on my phone. It was first come, first served and I was off to the salt water beach. Found the ring and off to the fresh water pond. On the way I lost contact with Dana as her cell phone’s battery was depleted. So I was clueless as to the location in the pond the earring had been lost. I started the grid search and found only one piece of tin foil and a small pendent. I left the water and did a grid search of the sand area. After finding only one more target, a penny, I went back to the car to see if there was any phone response from Dana. Low and behold there was from Dana’s father. In the text there was a picture of the one earring Dana had. I could not believe it but the “charm” I had found on my way out of the water to the sand of the beach was THE earring, shining gold with diamonds.

A text and within 5 minutes Dana and her father arrived to claim the earring.

I was getting ready for my next call, and read Andrew’s last text that read “Rick, thank you so much we found it! There was a guy with a heavy duty metal detector… He found it in about 15 minutes. That was good news for me as NOAA was transmitting a severe thunder storm warning. Time to head home for the safety of the house, out of danger’s way and dinner.
