I had a call the other day from a lady who had lost her grandmothers wedding ring. Her grandmother was married in 1950, so this was a very special ring.
We met on her dog walk, which was a wooded track with lots of undergrowth each side. the walk was probably quarter of a mile, so quite a search. The track was surprisingly not too trashy, but as with most ring searches, they are normally on the surface, so a detuned detector was necessary.
After nearly two hours of searching, we were nearing the end of the track, and we were both beginning to feel the hope of finding the ring was fading. But then, a beautiful clear tone was delivered! A quick brush aside with my foot of some leaf litter, and there it was, a very nice gold ring smiling at me.
Another very happy and emotional owner of a very special lost ring now recovered.

The Blue Swing….
Is Austin’s daughter’s favorite swing, and when she’s in it and dad is pushing her the sky’s the limit. About 2 weeks ago as a major storm pushed thru south-east Michigan, as they were playing on the swing… they suddenly had to take cover. After the storm had passed Austin noticed his ring missing. With the high winds and pounding rain he had no idea where it went. Searching for it was like swinging into the wind. Things were in full swing as I started a grid search near the swing and quite a few feet away, I got a great signal. Digging down thru the sand in the play area revealed Austin’s ring! He was not home yet so I texted him a pic of the ring and he couldn’t believe it. His wife came out to greet me and take some pics. Now that’s what I call getting back into the swing of things!

Sea Isle City, NJ Lost Phone Recovered From 4 Inches Under the Sand
A phone can disappear incredibly fast on a sandy beach.
One minute it is in your hand, pocket, or next to your beach chair. The next minute, it can be buried beneath the sand and nearly impossible to see.
That was the situation Caitlin faced during a beach day in Sea Isle City, New Jersey.
A Beach Search Comes Up Empty
Caitlin and her friends realized that her phone was missing and began searching the beach themselves.
They looked around the area but couldn’t find it.
Searching for a small electronic device in loose beach sand can be challenging. Once an item gets covered with even a few inches of sand, it may be completely hidden from view.
While they were trying to figure out what to do next, another beachgoer recommended John at Ring Finders South Jersey.
That recommendation ended up saving the day.
John Arrives in Sea Isle City
Caitlin contacted me, and I made the trip to the beach.
I arrived approximately 20 minutes after being contacted.
After getting the details about where Caitlin believed the phone had been lost, I began working the area with a systematic grid search.
The goal was simple: methodically cover the suspected area rather than repeatedly searching the same spots.
It didn’t take long.
I received a signal from beneath the sand and started checking the target.
Then came the good news.
The phone was approximately four inches beneath the sand.
The search was successful, and Caitlin’s phone was recovered.
Why Calling Quickly Can Help
Beach conditions are constantly changing. People walk across the sand, beach chairs move, wind shifts loose sand, and tides can alter the area near the water.
That’s why I recommend contacting a professional lost-item recovery service as soon as you realize something is missing.
Whether you’ve lost a cell phone, wedding ring, engagement ring, jewelry, watch, keys, or another valuable item, don’t assume it’s gone forever.
A systematic search with professional metal detecting equipment may be able to locate it.

On Monday 09/14/2026 I received notification from my daughter that a local resident was appealing for assistance locating her husbands ring on a social media site. Described as lost while exercising in a park.
I contacted Mrs. Brown and explained I was a short distance from the park and would be glad to assist in the search. I also warned her to not share too many specifics online because it was lost in a public place. Explaining it was in a heavy traffic area and time was of the essence I assured her I would be on-site immediately following a meeting I had already committed to.
Arrived at the park after 8:00 and darkness had set in. I immediately realized that no lighting was in this area so I geared up with my headlamp and a spare light in my pocket “just in case”. Walking towards the trail entrance I scanned beside of the paved sidewalk in case he had dropped in this area. I had many strong shallow signals and each time found where others had dropped fishing weights. When I entered the trailhead I began scanning left of the trail approximately 50 yards into woods. It became even darker because trees blocked star and moonlight. Approaching a park bench I recalled her description of his workout that he would stop to do push-ups. This area looked to be where he may stop to do push-ups. I searched around the bench and approximately four feet off trail I had a strong signal. Looking closer I discovered a black and gold ring.
I texted Mrs. Brown asking if she could describe the ring and she replied with a photo. Whoo-hoo, ring found in 30 minutes. I made her aware by texting a photo and she immediately called me overjoyed and saying “I cannot believe you found it”. We made arrangements to meet the next day. She was not going to tell her husband so it could be a surprise.
I met with Mrs. Brown and she was very happy and could not stop looking at the ring. Her husband as of this writing is still not aware of the recovery and hopefully we will get an update in comments of how the reveal pans out.
Thank you for entrusting me to find your husbands treasure. Although this recovery didn’t cause to much exercise for me I did get some steps in.
WEDDING BAND RECOVERY – Received a call from Ike in Hamilton Virginia who lost his wedding band while throwing a frisbee to his dogs in the backyard. There was a nice section of grass to the left and a semi-large garden on the right. I started on the left, and after an hour or so no luck, so I moved over into the garden section….it took two days, picking vegetation, fighting fencing, metal stakes, metal, metal, metal everywhere… After weed whacking and ripping out grass and miscellaneous weeds… Finally found Ike‘s ring which had become lodged between and gardn stone and the tall weeds.

FAMILY PHOTOS RECOVERY
I received a call from Zino on behalf of his wife, who dropped her Android phone into a pond while walking across a wooden deck, taking photos of her children. The phone slipped out of her hand and bounced off the deck into the dark water. I loaded my diving gear, drove an hour to the location, and we discussed where she believed the phone was dropped. In a little over an hour, I was able to recover the phone, it was one of the darkest (funkiest) water dives I’ve ever done. The water stinks and I hope I don’t end up in the ER.
praying that after some drying time and expert advice they’re able to get the phone working and recover hundreds of family photos.
