Lost White Gold & Diamond Wedding Ring, FOUND! Ventnor, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag


Down the Rabbit Hole…..
…… began with Joe’s new yard project. The gravel he ordered after he tore up some grass didn’t show up and throughout the day tools went missing and machinery malfunctioned. To escalate matters his wedding ring fell off his finger and he didn’t know where in the yard it was. I did a grid search with my MXT metal detector where he said he was working but nothing came up. Going out further from the house I got a good signal in the wet grass and as I moved around it my foot slipped into a slight dip in the ground almost twisting my ankle. Reaching into the dip in the ground my pin pointer metal detector went off. Parting the grass back revealed Joe’s ring! His back was turned to me but as I yelled to him, he came running over and said that he had filled the rabbit hole in a while ago after the bunny’s left and said it must have settled leaving a small divot. Super Happy to be Out of the Rabbit Hole, Joe took a nice long look at his ring realizing that even tho this journey down the rabbit hole was over, he now had a deeper understanding of what’s important and that the rabbit hole is only as deep as you make it!

This ring find began when I got a text at work asking if I could find a ring at the waters edge at Magic Island beach. I called the number and AJ from the San Francisco area and on vacation on Oahu answered. I told him I would leave work early and head over since it wasn’t in deep water. In fact, it was supposed to be ankle deep. As I was enroute I got a call from our fellow ring finder Kai saying he was on the freeway as AJ had called him too. Kai was kind enough to give the hunt to me as I was near the access to Magic Island. When I arrived I met AJ on the beach and he showed me where in the water the ring should be. I hunted and expanded the grid search out in every direction. No ring. I had to leave for a PT session for my shoulder and told AJ I’d see about coming back or getting someone else. My PT session went rather quickly so when I finished I went back to rehunt and expand the grid further. I went out further and up the slope into the dry sand. It paid off. Up in the dry sand I got a booming #49 on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was AJ’s sentimental ring from his Father in the scoop. I called AJ and he was at the Hilton Hawaiian Village pool next beach over so he decided to walk over and retrieve the special ring. A few hugs and handshakes later AJ said his vacation was now saved. Aloha to AJ!

I got a call from a young man who told me that his wife had lost her diamond engagement ring in Pitt Lake. He went on to tell me that we would have to kayak to the location, this would be a first for me as I’ve never been in a kayak before, but I’m always up for an adventure. I met Rob he showed me how to use the kayak and he told me he could get me to the location where the ring was lost. We kayak for about 25 minutes across the lake to the spot and when I saw the spot I was in shock. How in the world would be able to get me even close to where the Ring was lost because it was over 200 yards from shore.
Robert assured me he could get me close because he had marked two locations, a side location where there was a stump and a tree growing out of it about 200 yards offshore and 100 yards away from where he believed the ring was, he use that as a side marker and he focussed on a front marker close to shore, which was a log sticking out of the mud.
Talk about a needle in a haystack, we marched out at low tide at this lake and close to 200 yards out we were only waste deep in water, he told me where to look and put two markers down for me, within 30 minutes if you can believe it, I found his wife’s beautiful diamond engagement ring.
This will always remain a shocker to me. I have done so many different types of searches over the years and this one should’ve been impossible. The fact that Rob was so good at marking the location it saved his wife’s ring from forever being lost in this lake. I enjoyed the kayak ride! Who knows what I’ll do next maybe a hot air balloon to the next location lol
I love my job!

If you’ve ever spent a day on the beach in Cape May, NJ, you know how easy it is to lose track of small items in the soft sand. That’s exactly what happened to Courtney and her husband during a sunny afternoon by the ocean. While applying sunscreen, he slipped off his wedding band for just a moment. Unfortunately, the ring went into a pocket that had a small hole, and before they knew it, his wedding band had vanished into the sand.
After searching on their own with no success, Courtney reached out to me through Ring Finders South Jersey, hoping I could help. As a ring finder, I know how quickly jewelry can sink below the surface and how stressful it feels to lose something so sentimental.
I grabbed my equipment and headed straight to the Cape May beach where they had been sitting. Her husband carefully showed me the area where he thought the band might have fallen. I fired up my metal detector and started scanning the sand. Within minutes, I got a strong signal. A quick dig and there it was—his lost wedding band sitting just inches beneath the surface!
The relief and happiness on their faces was unforgettable. Finding a lost engagement ring or a wedding band and returning it to its owner is one of the best parts of what I do. Every recovery is special because I know how much these pieces mean to people.

Gabriella called, having lost a bracelet that meant a lot to her, in the sand at the beach earlier that day. It was getting late, so I decided to go quickly in order to get parking because the beach closes when the sun goes down.
Gabriella was not able to be there to show me the spot, but gave me enough information to put me in the area of the loss. When I got there I sent her a picture, and we were able to narrow the search area even more. I searched for about 15 minutes before I found the bracelet. It looked like someone might have stepped on it because it had been bent out of shape, but with no damage of any kind. We arranged to meet the next day for the return, and that is when she explained that the bracelet was given to her by her partner on their trip to Japan, and had a very deep sentimental meaning for her.
A Lost Engagement Ring at Somers Point Turns Into a Miracle Recovery
What started as a beautiful family beach day quickly turned into panic when I realized I had lost my engagement ring at Somers Point Bay Beach in Somers Point, New Jersey.
This beach means a lot to me. My grandmother had a camper at Colonial Meadows Campground, and we spent every summer here. I brought my toddler and 3-month-old daughter to the same spot, hoping to recreate those special memories. Unfortunately, I never imagined I’d end the day searching for a priceless piece of my past — my engagement ring.
While applying sunscreen, I removed both my engagement ring and wedding band and placed them in the cup holder of our wagon. At some point, the rings fell into the sand. About 40 minutes later, while feeding my baby, I looked down and realized they were gone.
Panic hit me like a wave.
I found my wedding band buried in the sand, but my engagement ring was missing. Two kind moms saw me searching and jumped in to help. Despite our efforts, the ring was nowhere to be found.
Then someone mentioned calling a professional ring finder.
Enter John from Ring Finders South Jersey. I called him, not expecting much — but to my surprise, he answered right away. Though I couldn’t meet him at the beach (I was already home making dinner), I texted him photos of the exact area we were in.
He confidently said he’d search that evening.
And he did. Not only did John find my engagement ring in the sand — but he also drove it to my house and personally returned it. I was shocked, overwhelmed with emotion, and so incredibly thankful.
John’s kindness, dedication, and skill are something I’ll never forget. He turned a nightmare into a miracle. If you’ve lost jewelry at the beach, in the yard, or anywhere in between, don’t wait — call the ring finder in South Jersey.

Thank you, John. You’re a hero.

Daniel, Calah, and their family were spending a pleasant day at the beach, enjoying the sun and sand. To keep her rings safe, Calah placed both her wedding band and engagement ring in their beach bag. At some point, her niece reached into the bag to retrieve an item. In the process, the engagement ring was accidentally pulled out and fell into the sand. When Calah later went to retrieve her rings from the bag, she noticed that the engagement ring was missing.
Upon returning home, Calah and Daniel conducted a thorough search of their belongings, hoping to find the lost ring, but their efforts were in vain. Realizing they needed assistance, Daniel contacted me to see if I could help locate the missing engagement ring. After discussing the details of the situation with him, we agreed on a plan to meet at the beach where the incident occurred.
Equipped with my metal detector, I began by searching in a grid pattern around the area where they had been sitting. Despite my initial efforts, I did not find the ring in that specific area. Expanding the search further, I eventually detected a promising signal. When I scooped up the sand, the metal detector confirmed the presence of the engagement ring. I called Daniel and Calah over to the location, and they were overjoyed to see the ring returned to them. The search concluded successfully, and they were relieved to have the ring back.
