Oura Ring Recovery in Strathmere, NJ – Found with Metal Detector

Hannah was enjoying a beautiful day on the beach in Strathmere, NJ with family and friends.

At some point, she removed her Oura ring and placed it carefully inside her beach bag for safekeeping.

Later, when she returned home from Strathmere, NJ, she realized the Oura ring was no longer in her bag.

So Hannah quickly searched everywhere she could think of without any luck.

That’s when she reached out to me, John Favano, from Ring Finders South Jersey for help locating her ring.

She explained where she had been sitting on the beach, providing me with helpful details about the area.

Armed with my trusted metal detector, I made the drive to Strathmere, NJ and began my search immediately.

The sand can be tricky, but the right experience and tools make all the difference when finding lost items.

Within just ten minutes of scanning the area, I received the strong signal I was hoping to hear.

Scooping into the sand, I spotted Hannah’s Oura ring shining brightly, safely recovered from the beach.

I reached out to let her know her Oura ring had been found, and she was thrilled.

To ensure a quick reunion, I overnighted the package so her ring was back with her the next day.

Another successful recovery in Strathmere, NJ proves how valuable the Ring Finders South Jersey service is for beachgoers.

If you lose a wedding band, engagement ring, or even an Oura ring, don’t panic—help is available.

Using a metal detector with skill and patience often makes the impossible possible along the Jersey Shore.

Lost ring in the Okanagan Lake near Kelowna BC, found by a metal detector

  • from Vernon (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

During the Labour Day long weekend, I received a message from Ken Dewerson, fellow ring finder that a friend had reached out to him for assistance. Due to previous commitments, he sent the information to me to assist. I called Kassandra and introduced myself and she explained that while cooling off in our local waters, playing with some children, she felt her ring slip off her finger. It was a gold and diamond ring she had received from her Mama for graduating and she said it was very sentimental to her. She spent several days looking for the ring herself but was unable to locate it. She posted on Facebook that she had lost the ring, and unfortunately, also where she lost it. This of course concerned me as I know that others may try to find the lost ring as well. I was spending the day with my son and family an hour north but arranged to go and search for her ring as soon as I was home from my family visit.

I arrived at the location in the early evening of Sunday August 31st and went out in search of the ring. The ground was not at all sandy like most areas in the Okanagan, rather it was very rocky. I started my grid search and my first impression was that there were not many targets, which was good – less digging required. I hit a sinker weight first, then a second and then the dreaded pull tab from a can. I also noticed what appeared to be other dig spots in the area and I feared that someone had indeed tried to find the ring. However, as I had found the other trash items I thought that perhaps it was missed and not found. I completed three short grid runs and on the fourth, in about four feet of water I got that sweet tone on my detector. It took a bit of wrangling to get my scoop under the layer of rocks but on my second scoop, the sweet sound was gone and clearing my scoop, the ring was found!

While still in the water, I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Kassandra who was thrilled and overjoyed that I had found her ring. She was unable to pick it up that day as she was at a celebration of life for a family member but she received her precious ring back two days later.

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)

I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…

I was contacted by Jill who stated her mother thought she had lost her wedding ring while weeding. Her mother was throwing the weeds over an embankment behind her residence and thought her ring flew off. When I initially spoke with Jill the ring had been lost for about three weeks. I was unable to make it out the same day she called me to search but assured her I would make arrangements to look.

A few days later it worked out that I was able to search for the ring. I drove out the residence and met Jill’s mother, Peggy and her dog Missy. Peggy explained to me that her husband had passed away and how important the ring was to her. She did not see the ring fly off her finger but she was pretty certain it was over the embankment. They had searched with a metal detector that they bought and also enlisted the help of a neighbor without any luck.

I looked over the embankment and it was overgrown with weeds and tall grass. I took a few steps and realized that all the vegetation was hiding just how steep the bank was. So I started my grid down and back up the hillside taking note of how far I was down. I was thinking that maybe I had not went down over the hill far enough so I was prepared to have to go further down. I was there working my way though the forest of vegetation when all of a sudden I heard that sweet sound of gold. I had seen a picture of the ring and it was very big so the hit I got was loud and steady. I parted the weeds and looked down and there was the ring….sweet success!!

I climbed back to the top of the hillside and Peggy came out to meet me. When I showed her the ring she was stunned and began to shed tears of joy. It was readily apparent how important the ring was to her. She thanked me numerous times. Before I had started to search she had told me how her dog Missy could do all kinds of tricks. I told Peggy that if I found the ring she could have Missy do a few tricks; so Missy got to perform and was very impressive.

Now that the pressure was off as the ring was found there were a few minutes to chat. It is very interesting to hear the stories of rings that are found and all the other important details that the clients like to share. As always it was great to meet another extremely kind and generous client and reunite her with her treasured keepsake!

Three Gold Coin Charms lost in Emeryville Park…Found!

  • from Walnut Creek (California, United States)
Contact:

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

I was contacted by Anna to assist with the location and recovery of three gold coin charms from a park in Emeryville, CA.  Each charm was engraved with the initials of one of the handsome men in her life, the larger one for her husband, and the two smaller for each of her young boys.  These charms were cherished Mother’s Day gifts, so when they fell to the ground and disappeared into the long grass, it was heartbreaking.  When these charms were not located after extensive searching, a quick google search brought Anna to me.

I arranged to meet the family at the park the next evening and requested permission to bring along my three boys.  It was a new and interesting park that I thought they might enjoy and the weather would be much cooler than that further inland.  I met the family and they gave me a quick run down of the who, what, when, and how as well as the exact location.  It didn’t take long to locate the first of three charms, a small one.  A few moments later, the second was recovered, the larger one.  Then for a while…nothing! After a few anxious minutes…beep, beep…We made the Recovery!

Afterward, we talked about the significance of the 3 gold coin charms while the children played in the park.  We took a handful of photos to memorialize the event, and after a while a fun soccer game broke out.  It was a great evening for everyone.

Lost gold Pisces pendant recovered, after over a month in Lake Michigan, Warren Dunes State Park, Sawyer Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Family heirloom Pisces pendant, lost while at the beach Aug 1st. Was lost in a fairly large area, she thought it was while they were in the water. It was Reese’s grandmother’s pendant, that Reese wears proudly.
I’ve made more than a few search attempts for this one. Her brother Gavin made a detailed map of the area. The odds that no other pirates have found this were slim to none. However, some sand has moved out over the past week, upping the chance of uncovering some things. So I made a spin around the loss area this afternoon. At the tail end of the hunt, I got a iffy iron sounding signal. Opted to dig it, as usual. The glare of the setting sun made it a trick to see in the scoop basket, but I saw a gold colored chain hanging partly out of the scoop basket. Put my hand on that and hoped with all I have, that I’d see a Pisces pendant when I looked in. Sure enough, there it was! They are beyond thrilled to have it back.

Family Heirloom Engagement Ring…. lost, but now… FOUND in Huntsville, Alabama!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee.  Call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7 at 610-504-6135.

I received a call on Friday (August 29th, 2025) in the late afternoon from Gabby.  Gabby’s engagement ring was lost the night before in the front yard at her home in Huntsville, Alabama and she was hoping I could help her find it.  Gabby and her fiancé, Matthew had bought a metal detector, but were unable to find Gabby’s engagement ring, which was a family heirloom – it was Matthew’s grandmother’s ring.  I initially suggested the next morning for a search, but both Gabby and Matthew had to work, so I said I would head out after dinner.

About an hour and a half after Gabby’s call, I headed out for the search.  I met Gabby at her home and I had her show me the area she thought her ring was lost at.  Gabby also showed me a picture of what the gold engagement ring looked like.  I told her she was welcome to go back in the house to relax and I would get to work, letting her know how the search went.  I was using my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil.  I cleared the main area in the front yard and expanded further to the right side, but didn’t find the ring.  I double checked the main area and expanded my grid to the left side.  I was a few feet from the street, when I hit a good tone and saw the outline of a gold ring emerge from the green grass.  It was Gabby’s engagement ring!  Praise the Lord!!

I snapped a few photos of the ring and went to knock on the door to tell Gabby the great news.  Both Gabby and Matthew were so happy and relieved to hear that the ring was found!  Smiles all around 😊 and the reason I do what I do!

Grandmother’s lost ring in Ofallon, Illinois

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was hanging out by my fire pit when I saw the huge shadow of a cicada trying to land on my shoulder.

 

I got up and started walking towards the house and realized the cicada landed on me. I swiped at it a few times and felt my grandmother’s ring slip from my hand.

 

My children and I searched for days and nights. I even purchased a metal detector and search on my own but nothing showed up.

 

A few days later I came across Ring Finder. Jeremy answered on the first ring, arrived the next day and found my ring within minutes.

 

He was confident, professional and so kind! He turned a really fragile moment around for me in minutes! Thank you Jeremy for finding my grandmothers ring that has been in my family for more than 50 years!

Soldered Engagement & Wedding Rings Lost While Pulling Weeds in Huntsville, AL… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

This past week I had a total of 6 calls for lost items, which is a higher-than-normal call volume for my area.  I conducted a search for 4 of the items (the other 2 were too far or needed a diver).  I’m happy to report that all 4 items were found!  All praise and glory to God!  He is so good!!!  Here’s the write-up of the first recovery.  Please be on the lookout for the others.

I received a text message on Monday morning (August 25th, 2025) from Ellen stating she had lost her soldered engagement & wedding rings over the weekend while pulling weeds at her mother-in-law’s (Judy) house in Huntsville, Alabama.  Ellen had taken off her rings (including a ring she wears on a finger on her right hand) and put them in her pocket.  She put her phone in the same pocket and pulled it out periodically to change songs.  When Ellen was done with the yard work, there was only 1 ring left in her pocket — the soldered engagement & wedding rings were gone.  I told Ellen I would be more than happy to help search.  We scheduled a hunt for Tuesday after I got off from work.

Ellen and her husband, Brad live in Birmingham, AL.  Ellen had to be in Birmingham on Tuesday, but Brad was back in Huntsville for the day, so I met Brad at his mother’s (Judy) house around 4:30 pm on Tuesday.  Brad and Judy showed me where Ellen had been working in the flowerbeds and another area around a tree.  They were very kind providing some bug spray and a cold glass of ice water when I asked.  Once I had my search area, I got to work with my Minelab Equinox 900.

I searched two piles of weeds, but didn’t get any signals.  I moved to the grass area in front of the flower beds and had a good hit within a few minutes of searching.  I looked down and saw that unmistakable glimmer of gold!  It was Ellen’s rings!!  I took a few pictures of what the rings looked like as is (pictures at the end).  Prior to calling me for help, Ellen and Brad had bought a metal detector and tried searching.  They had a few hits, but everything was below the surface.  They were surprised that they missed the rings, but they were fixated on another target nearby, and the detector they bought was not the best for finding rings.  Once you know the ring is there, then you think how could I miss it, but grass will easily swallow up a ring and it’s really hard or near impossible to spot with eyesight alone.

I went and got Brad and Judy and gave them the good news!  They were both so happy and gave me a big hug. Brad Facetimed Ellen and I got to surprise her with the rings and show her in real time.  Ellen was so happy, relieved, and thankful!  She told me this was a huge answered prayer.  I told her that I had been praying as well.  What an awesome feeling!  Brad and Ellen have been married for 26 years!  Thank God for another successful recovery!

As I was getting ready to leave, my truck wouldn’t start – my battery was dead!  Brad thankfully had some jumper cables and helped me get my truck started (I now have a pair of jumper cables in my truck, lol).  Huge thank you to Brad for saving me there!  I was able to get a new battery on Friday morning – just in time for a few more searches, lol…

Metal Detecting Recovery of A Lost 3-Generation Wedding Ring, Menuahant Beach, Falmouth, MA

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

1 September 2025.  Yesterday, Labor Day Sunday, Nick lost his wedding ring at the beach.  It was a special ring because it had been his father’s as well as his grandfather’s.  While he felt somewhat resigned to the loss, his wife Hannah didn’t give up easily.  She searched the internet in the evening and fortunately found the RingFinders.  Nick called me this morning and we arranged to meet at the beach within about half an hour.

At the beach, Nick described where his family had been sitting the previous day and where he had been in the water for a relatively short time.  He had not noticed his ring was missing until they returned to their B&B.  This left a range of possibilities for where the ring was lost but the most likely was the beach.  Where to search first?  The tradeoff is between the dry sand (easy to search) and the water (more difficult but also more likely).  I started easy, but after 10 or 15 minutes it was apparent that the ring was not in the area where Nick and Hannah thought they had been sitting.

Next, the water.  Nick told how he had been wading and sitting in knee-deep water off to the west of where their beach chairs were.  The current tide level was lower than it had been the previous day so I started with a long swath at the wave’s edge – no result.  With further discussion, Nick felt that he’d been at a break in slope a bit farther out so I moved there for the next swath.  This location was somewhat concerning because it contained thick, loose sandy gravel that was being moved about by wave action, raising the possibility that the ring could already be deeply buried and possibly beyond detector range.  Fortunately within a few minutes I heard that sweet signal of success and had Nick’s ring in my scoop!

I dumped the gravel but left the ring in the scoop and walked up the beach to where Nick stood.  I didn’t mention the ring but told him about the bad bottom conditions as I approached.  Then the part I love the most – I held out the scoop so he could look inside, and suddenly all was well with the world!

We wrapped up with some very happy conversation and pictures.  As it turned out, Nick, Hannah and their daughter were packed and ready to drive home, ending their Cape Cod vacation.  I’m really pleased that I was able to change that ending from a sad to a joyful one as they hit the road!

 

Nick’s 3-generation wedding band.

 

A happy family ready to head home from their Cape Cod vacation.
