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


Another memorable recovery story!
Ryan contacted us by text after Emily had lost her ring the day before while feeding her horses. She had already spent hours that evening searching everywhere she could think of, but the ring had completely disappeared.
We started searching around the stalls and checked the areas where she had been working. Then we moved on to the feed bags and searched through them one by one. Down to the very last bag… we finally got the signal we were hoping for.
Sure enough, hidden inside the last feed bag was Emily’s missing ring!
Recoveries like this are a great reminder that lost items often end up in the places you’d least expect.
Another amazing recovery for an amazing couple!

Another happy ending!
We recently received a call about a lost wedding ring that had disappeared while gardening. One minute it was on their finger, and somewhere between digging, pulling weeds, and working around the garden beds, it had vanished.
After searching through the area and carefully working our way around the garden, we finally got the signal we were hoping for. A few moments later, the missing wedding ring was back where it belonged.
Wedding rings hold so much more than just value — they carry memories and meaning. Recoveries like this are always rewarding!

Another successful recovery in the books!
We received a call from Amjad after an exciting day of fishing on the Grand River took an unexpected turn. He had just caught a fish and went to snap a photo of his catch when, in all the excitement, his phone slipped from his hand and disappeared into the water.
The phone had settled in about 10 feet of water, but the real challenge was the very poor visibility. After spending some time searching along the bottom, we were able to locate and recover it.
Nothing beats seeing the relief on someone’s face when a lost item is back where it belongs!

As summer arrives in Indiana, more people are heading to lakes and beaches, which also means an increase in lost jewelry and wedding rings. Many of the calls I receive begin after someone tries to rent a metal detector and quickly realizes how difficult underwater recoveries can be. My most recent hunt was no exception. I received a call from a couple who lost a ring in Monticello, Indiana, and despite the drive from my home base in Carmel, I was ready to take on the challenge.
Derick and his wife were visiting a friend’s lake house to enjoy a relaxing day on the water when she slipped while boarding the boat and fell into the frigid lake. Although shaken up but otherwise okay, she later realized her wedding ring was missing. After searching the cabin, they concluded the ring must have slipped off during the fall. Hoping to recover it quickly, Derick decided to rent a metal detector and search for the ring himself that same evening. After two exhausting hours searching underwater with goggles, flashlights, and the rented metal detector, they were left discouraged with no sign of the ring.
That’s when Derick found Lost and Found Ring and gave me a call. The next evening, I made the trip to the lake, suited up in a thick wetsuit, and began the search. The area was littered with junk, metal dock posts, and an aluminum jet ski lift that created heavy interference for my detector. After carefully scanning the area and isolating the best signal, I dug my first solid target, and there it was. Derick and his wife were overjoyed to have the ring safely back on her finger. Stories like this are exactly why I do what I do. If you lose a ring, save yourself the frustration and expense of renting a metal detector and call a professional first.

Nilesh was looking at some of the local wildlife along Lake Monroe here in Sanford, Florida and as he and his friends were admiring an alligator in the reeds…Nilesh felt some kind of bug land on his arm and he swatted at it causing him to drop his cell phone. Only his phone hit the concrete and bounced into the water below and disappeared. The water level is quite low this time of year so it is at least an 8 foot drop down to the water and then there is the water hyacinths and reeds and mud. It was getting late in the day when Nilesh called me and I opted to try and use my large Magnatar magnet but after an hour or so we decided to meet early the next morning so I could use my metal detector and do a proper search. I arrived the next morning with an extension ladder and poles to push the water hyacinths back so I could decend into the shallow murky water and 5 minutes later I got a good solid high signal on my Garrett ATMax metal detector and as I felt around with my scuba boot I could feel a flat smooth item the size of a cell phone and sure enough–there was Nilesh’s lost I phone.
It is always a pleasure helping find a lost item and being able to return it to it’s rightful owner! Call or text me if you have lost something and need help!

Steve found me in The Ring Finder directory and was seeking help in locating his lost platinum wedding band. He was doing some yard work in the backyard of his home in West Chester, PA when his ring slipped off his finger. Prior to reaching out to me he attempted to find the ring himself with a cheap metal detector. I told him that I quite frequently get calls for help after folks buy or rent a detector. What I tell most people is the machine itself is important (and I have all top of the line machines!) but not as important as the experience of the operator! You have to know what to listen for! Anyway, I met Steve at his home a few days later and he showed me where he was working. I took a few minutes to demonstrate my machine…utilizing my own platinum wedding band to let him hear the signal I would be searching for. He thought maybe it flew off while he was tossing sticks into a pile…but the area where he was doing that wasn’t really an area that would obscure the ring. He would have found it with his eyes. He was also picking up brush, sticks and carrying them across the deep grass of his back yard….I thought that was more likely the area the ring would be found. Sure enough 10 minutes into searching the grass I got the beautiful signal I was searching for! I bent down and searched the deep grass…and there was his beautiful, large platinum band!!! The look of joy and relief on Steve’s face was epic!!!


Will reached out to me after finding me in The Ring Finder directory. He was looking for help in locating his wife’s beautiful gold and diamond wedding band. Apparently they were spending the afternoon at a Philadelphia park when her ring came up missing. Will was quite certain he knew the area of the park where the ring was lost. I told him I would meet him at the park early the next morning. Upon my arrival on Sunday morning (Mother’s Day!) Will showed me the area where he felt the ring became lost. I spent some time manipulating the settings on my Minelab Manticore metal detector and also demonstrated for Will what the signal I would be looking for would sound like…I brought a small gold band with me to do so. I wanted him to feel confident that if I went over his wife’s ring with my machine I would not miss it! Well….10 minutes into the search we got that exact signal! I looked down and there was the ring! Will was standing nearby looking at me in disbelief! Will looked so relieved…and was crazy happy he could return his wife’s ring to her on Mother’s Day!!!

*** Lost 4 silver rings near Califia Beach, San Clemente, CA. James contacted me after finding my phone number on a google search for metal detecting service. We discussed his loss of 4 silver rings in the dry sand two days ago. He had put his 4 rings in his shoes near his beach towel. When he left the beach he just picked up his belongs and walked off the sand.
When he got to the street he checked his shoes for the rings and they were not in the shoes.
James had to work and could not meet me at the location. He marked up a google satellite view screen shot which was all I need to do a grid search.. The next morning I started where he had been sitting, no rings. Then I began a 6 grid line path to the street location where he realized the rings were missing. 60 to 70 yards away from where he had been sitting on the beach. All 4 of the rings were found in a two foot area..
I met James after he got off work to return his rings.. He was amazed that the metal detector was able to find small items. Also happy he didn’t have to miss a days work..
I can help you answer any question or search for your lost keepsake .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.. Just call I will be glad to help you.. 949-500-2136


This ring find began when I got a call from Ola from Texas who told me her friend Ashley from Michigan lost an eight ring stack in the dry sand at Waimanalo Beach Park. I checked Google Maps and told Ola I could be there n about 30 minutes. When I arrived, Ola hailed me from the top of the beach sand berm which was in view from the parking lot. Ashley explained that her 8 rings were in the pocket of her shorts and as they changed locations on the beach at some point they must have fallen out. I had the two of them draw in the sand an area that would cover everywhere they had been. Thankfully, the area was fairly small. Ola suggested I start on the far end from where we were standing so fired up the Manticore and proceeded towards that area. On the way, I got a solid tone and there was ring #1. I heard another target and scooped ring #2. Ashley was very happy but we had six more to go. I continued on the grid and about ten feet away detector overload. Rings #3 through #8 were all in a clump together. I let Ashley & Ola retrieve them from the scoop. Two very happy young ladies. We had a few laughs and hugs and you can see their joy in the picture above. Aloha to Ashley & Ola!
