A family vacation at the Jersey Shore can create wonderful memories for years.
Unfortunately, one beach day in Wildwood Crest suddenly became very stressful for Karen.
Two of her most meaningful pieces of jewelry disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean.
The rings were lost while Karen and her family enjoyed Diamond Beach.
Their vacation location was near The Grand in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey.

Karen’s child accidentally pulled the rings from her finger during their beach outing.
Both an engagement ring and wedding band were suddenly missing.
The family knew finding them without professional equipment would be extremely difficult.
Karen contacted Ring Finders South Jersey for assistance.

I responded immediately and arrived approximately twenty minutes after receiving the call.
My first step was learning as much as possible about the accident.
Karen explained where she believed the rings entered the ocean.
Those details helped establish a practical search zone for the recovery effort.

I then entered the water with a professional metal detector.
The search required patience, concentration, and a systematic approach.
I began working the suspected area using a careful grid pattern.
Grid searching helps ensure important sections are covered during a recovery.
Ocean conditions can also shift sand and change where jewelry may rest.
That makes organized searching especially important when recovering lost rings underwater.

Eventually, the metal detector delivered the signal everyone wanted.
I located Karen’s engagement ring beneath the water.
It was an incredible moment, but one ring was still missing.

The wedding band remained somewhere within the search area.
I continued working the surrounding section rather than ending the search early.
A short time later, another promising signal appeared on the detector.
The target was Karen’s missing wedding band.

Both rings had been recovered from the ocean at Diamond Beach.

Karen and her family were understandably thrilled with the result.
Their sentimental jewelry was back where it belonged.
More importantly, their family could continue enjoying their Wildwood Crest vacation.

This recovery demonstrates why quick action can matter after losing jewelry.
Moving around the suspected area can potentially make a difficult search harder.
If possible, remember exactly where the loss occurred and limit unnecessary disturbance.
Contacting a professional detectorist quickly can improve the opportunity for recovery.

Ring Finders South Jersey specializes in lost ring and jewelry recovery throughout South Jersey.
More than 585 successful recoveries demonstrate extensive hands-on experience with these searches.

Harwich, MA Lost Found and Returned Wedding Band Within An hour

Tommy had lost his ring and several helpful friends were sifting thru the sand except for one, the real heroine here, Jen, was searching for a Ring Finder. When she found my information on TheRingFinders.com, she knew her search was done. She then made the call.

When I received the call I was ready to go and Tommy was heading to his mother’s home to check there for the “lost” ring. In a little over a half an hour I was getting my gear together at the beach and Tommy had just returned and was pulling in to park without his ring. I guessed it was up to me to go and find the wedding band that had left Tommy’s had while shaking off ice water from his cooler.

On the beach two circles had been drawn in the sand and a few pull tabs had been scattered to confuse me. Neither circle had defined the rings location. I never heard a beep from a pull tab as on the second swing I knew I had located the ring. I stopped detecting and took my phone out of my pocket so I could capture a picture of Tommy retrieving his ring from the scoop. My success surprised everyone except for one as I had found her son’s ring several years ago.

Tommy’s ring has now been lost and returned FIVE times. Once it was lost for over a year then found by Tommy’s mother while she was cleaning under her dryer with a coat hanger. Another time it was left in a restaurant’s men’s room. Thru all the losses Tommy’s wife, Amanda, has stayed with him and now is just wondering where and when the next time will be and if I will be able to help. Of course I would!

This past week I and family enjoyed time away at the South Carolina coast. Being obsessed with metal detecting I had started my day with an early AM surf walk in a northward direction. I had be at it for little over hours and was making my way back to the room to get out of the heat, eat and take a well deserved nap.

I was detecting on my way back and had a strong signal in front of a lady reading a book. Dig the target finding a AirPod case which included the right ear piece. and totally packed with sand. I had drawn her attention and she asked « anything good » ? Showed her the AirPods and said « this is a first. Wonder if they will work? ». She said they should as she had washed AirPods many ties in her husbands clothing and they never failed.

While speaking a gentleman approached and introduced himself. He asked if I may have found what he described as a « Black bracelet ». Told him I had not but would be glad to search if he knew the area it dropped. He replied that he only knew it could have dropped between his umbrellas and the beach access which was 100 yards away. He also did not remember the route he walked because he walked it many times. I asked if he knew the type of metal of which he did not. I asked his room number and explained I will be returning Sunday but would search and see if I could find. I would return it to his room as he was only a few floors away withing the same facility.

I searched the immediate area and towards the beach access with negative results. The time was approaching noon and the beach was very busy with Labor Day vacationers.

Fast forward to after 6:00 PM, I was refreshed and on the beach again following dinner. I grid searched the area starting where they had been set up earlier. They had a large area with approximately a dozen umbrellas and a flagpole displaying the stars and stripes :). After a tight search I located a black bracelet that I assumed was under a umbrella when dropped.

I went to the room number given and the gentleman answering the door did not look familiar and when I explained my presence he said thank you for looking but he and no one in his party had lost a bracelet. Now the real search begins.

I only knew a middle aged gentleman was whom I was looking for. I went to the beach next morning (day 2) looking for the Umbrella city with a US Flag and nothing in sight. I went about my business remainder of the morning and did family stuffs until the evening at which time I again scanned the beach looking for the familiar umbrellas and US Flag, Nothing.

Slept in day 3 and after lunch walked to beach again searching for the Umbrella city and US Flag and spotted it. It was restored in the same location when I originally spoke with them. I approached and seeing no familiar faces asked the first lady that looked up « did someone with your group lose a bracelet a few days ago? » She responded Oh My! Yes. and called to a gentleman 20 feet away. When he responded by name I immediately recognized him and held up the bracelet asking, « This look familiar? » 🙂 I thought he was going to fall trying to briskly walk to me. He was ecstatic and said he didn’t think he would get it back. We spoke for a short time and I learned he too was from North Carolina (Baden Lake). I told him I found days earlier but couldn’t find him as I had noted a room number that was not his. I also told him I had researched the bracelet and thanked him for supporting our veterans. The Bracelet was made by a company named HERO and they provided proceeds to Military Veterans specifically to K9’s to serve as PTSD resources.

Below are photos of the bracelet and owner having returned it to where it should be. Happy Labor day!

Man’s Yellow Gold Class Ring Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach, SC

On Sunday, September 6, 2026, I got a notification on FB about a gentleman who had lost his 20-year-old Patrick Henry Class Ring in the ocean. At 8 p.m. that evening I received a call from Emilia, the daughter of Osmin, the gentleman who had lost the ring. She told me he had lost it around 12:30-1 p.m. and was maybe chest deep. A quick check of the tide tables and that would have been roughly mid-tide with the next low tide happening just after 10 p.m. I told her that I could meet them at 10 p.m. I was watching the weather, which had predicted storms. And a little after 8 p.m., I text Emilia saying I was going to cancel that evening and would be there the next morning at 10 a.m., which was just before low tide.

On Monday just before 9:30 a.m., I sent Emilia a text saying, “On my way.” She acknowledged that she’d be waiting. When I walked out on the beach, I met Emilia and her husband, Kenny. She told me her dad was away, but Kenny had been there when Osmin lost his ring. Kenny showed me what he remembered about where they were, and I started an east/west grid. I was using the beams on the Resort’s building as my landmark as I worked my way from North to South across the target area. As I got about halfway across the grid search, Osmin showed up and showed me about where he had been which I hadn’t gotten to yet in my search. I told him I’d keep working on my grid search so I’m not jumping from one spot to another. Osmin also said that he was trying to catch a ball that his brother had thrown, when the ball hit his ring finger and the ring slipped off into the ocean. I was just getting to Osmin’s suspected area when I got a solid signal and a 19-20 on the VDI (visual display indicator), those numbers tell me there’s a big gold ring under the coil. Dug one scoop, shook the sand out in the water and saw Osmin’s beautiful class ring in the scoop. I started walking towards Osmin and Kenny and stuck the scoop out for Osmin to retrieve his ring. Osmin’s big smile and a sign of relief make it all worthwhile.

Emilia – Thank you for calling me to help find your dad’s treasured class ring.

Lost Black Titanium Wedding Ring at the Little Manitou Lake, Watrous, Saskatchewan found by Ben Griswold (The Ring Finders)

Lost your ring/cell phone/keys Don’t wait until it’s too late… Call ASAP- 24/7 service Ben – 306-630-3016

I was contact by Marrissa on Friday who indicated she was looking for someone to help her find a lost wedding ring at the Little Manitou Lake. Marrissa reported that they were swimming in the lake when her husband Eric felt his titanium wedding ring slip from his fingers. this was on Wednesday evening the lake was very choppy at the time of the loss. They were also traveling from Ontario to Alberta and had left the area. She had sent me a hand drawing picture as reference as to the location of the loss. This did help in the recovery.

So, I head to the lake with the map for reference. Little Manitou Lake AKA (Canada’s Dead Sea) is about half as salty as the Dead Sea and Eight times saltier than the ocean. This creates a unique experience to detecting in. As Most metal detector wont work in the salt water. You do need a specialized detector for this. I was there for 3 hours in water detecting till it got dark with no ring found.

The vey next morning we headed back to the lake this being a Saturday the beach and swimming area was very busy. I geared up and 20 minutes in the water I had found the ring.

I sent them a picture and they confirmed the ring was indeed the lost Black Titanium Ring. We made armaments to meet in Moose Jaw the next day as they were drive through on their way home to Ontario.

We truly have the best job in the world, and we absolutely love what we do.

Lost watch, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Barbara Ann. Barbara explained that she had spent the day on the beach, here in Cape May, this past Sunday. While at the beach she had removed her watch before going for a swim in the ocean. She placed her watch in the pocket of her cover up for safe keeping. Later in the day she gathered her belongings and headed off the beach. Shortly after returning home she realized that her watch was still in her cover up. When she went to retrieve it, it was gone. Barbara immediately returned to the beach and began searching where she had been sitting that day. after a while, searching, she came up empty-handed and began researching her options. While looking to rent or purchase a metal detector to search herself, Google recommended calling Ring Finders Cape May as an alternative. Now Tuesday Barbara called last evening right around dinner time, after gathering some details I headed over to Broadway Beach and met Barbara. After reviewing the general area I began grid searching the area, after a short hunt I picked up a signal, the only signal thruout the search, and out came Barbaras watch from the sand! Barbara was elated with joy as the watch possessed significant sentimental value to her. Another successful recovery!

Barbaras Review:

“ I lost my watch on the beach. It was an expensive watch but even more sentimentally valuable. I did everything I could to find it . Two days later, as a last resort, I did a Google search for the possibility of renting a metal detector and instead was advised to find a professional detectorist and given a link to Ring Finders in Cape May. When I called , Jeff Laag answered and came out to meet me within 15 minutes. He’s amazing, he understands how important these lost items can be to people. He is a kind, caring man who listened to my whole story, evaluated the search area and got started. The miracle happened within 20 minutes. Jeff found my watch! I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t know what to say, I needed something so much better than just « thank you. » So, Jeff Laag, thank you thank you again and again! ”

Timing is Everything. Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts

septembre 6th, 2026 by Brian Tucholke
from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)

5 September 2026.

Andy and his wife were on the interstate headed back to Pennsylvania when he called me. Their vacation on Cape Cod had ended, and tomorrow they would be celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary at home. Sadly, Andy’s wedding ring would not be part of the celebration. It had been left behind somewhere in the sand of Old Silver Beach about 24 hours ago.

As Andy described the situation, he had placed his ring in a small side pocket of his chair at the beach, He’d forgotten about it when they packed up and left in mid-afternoon, only later to discover that the ring was gone. So the ring most likely was left in the dry sand where they’d been sitting, or possibly in sand along the route they’d taken back to the parking lot. He described the ring as white and yellow gold with 4 small pavé diamonds.

I asked Andy to text me a map indicating his best guess of where they’d been sitting and told him I’d leave for the beach right away. Old Silver Beach is popular with detectorists and I was concerned that his ring was a ‘sitting duck’ that might already have been found or could soon be found, so time was of the essence.

When I arrived at the beach I grabbed my gear and headed for the spot marked on Andy’s map. On the way I passed a man and his son who had a detector. I stopped and told him that if they found a white and yellow gold ring with 4 small pavé diamonds, I had the name and contact information for the man who lost it. Dan, the father, said ‘we found it’! I outlined the situation to the point that Dan seemed satisfied that I was not ‘scamming’ him (unfortunately you can’t be too careful these days!). He provided his phone number which I sent on with a message to Andy so that they could talk directly with one another.

While Dan and Andy were conversing and arranging a return, I learned from Dan’s wife that their daughter had found the ring using their son Ben’s detector, so there was some sibling rivalry as to who deserved the credit. In any case, she had some cute pictures that had been taken of a gleeful Ben with the ring.

Dan and his family left shortly after his conversation with Andy ended, so the serendipitous timing of my arriving at the beach and meeting Dan was a real stroke of luck. There now of course was disappointment, especially on the part of Ben, but there was also an honorable ending with the ring in the process of being returned to its rightful owner.

And a 29th wedding anniversary will be celebrated with joy and not with a modicum of regret!

UPDATE, 9/11: Andy received his ring a week to the day from when it was lost. A big thank you to Dan and his son Ben!

Andy’s wedding ring.

Andy, very happy to have his ring back!

Dan’s son Ben, thrilled by a ring find with his new detector!

Marilyn lost her gold ring yesterday, while out back with the family on the beach. Not sure if on the dry sand or in the water. This ring has her grandmother’s wedding ring diamonds mounted on it, so its of great sentimental value. Her son contacted me and we orchestrated the details and I was on my way over (time crunch, before work).
The potential loss area grew quite a bit after getting the tour of the beach area, but I would give it my best and return tomorrow if need be.
Nothing turned up on the dry, so I moved to the water.
She’d gone out to neck deep yesterday and said the sand had moved a lot overnight.
After a few passes, I got a nice signal in about thigh deep water. Sounded great, but also sounded like a US nickel (same exact vdi # 26), but when I peeked in the scoop, I saw that Gold ring and knew i’d got it. It was about 3-4” down in the sand.
Marilyn was amazed I’d found it!

Metal detecting service finds lost gold chain in Port Orange Florida!

This search began when Ronaldo called me asking if I could help him find his lost gold chain and medallion. Apparently while working at a neighbors house his chain was getting in the way of his bending over while putting an electric line in a ditch and he was concerned it would fall off or get damaged so he removed his chain and set it on the back bumper of his truck…thinking he would retrieve it later before driving his truck. BUT…you guessed it…he plumb forgot and drove his truck just a very short distance and all of a sudden he remembered his chain and when he stopped and checked his bumper…his precious chain was gone! He immediately returned to his neighbors yard thinking it must have fallen off into the grass but he walked for an hour looking and just could not find his lost gold chain anywhere. He even searched the road where he drove and nothing! When I arrived I began searching the thick grass and after an hour I too came up empty handed. Ronaldo was quite shaken and as we talked I encouraged him that if it was there I felt very confident we could find it and mentioned to again check the road where he drove and wouldn’t you know it…his chain was actually still just laying in the middle of the road in plain sight and had been run over at least once because the medallion was a bit bent and slightly scratched up but all in all his lost gold chain was in one piece! Ronaldo was ecstatic and thanked me over and over for coming out and helping him find his sentimental lost gold chain! What an honor it is for me to be able to help those in need of this unique and specialized service. I thank God often for allowing me the privilege to bring joy and happiness to people who need my help. So….how can I help you? Call, text or leave me a message at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk!
