Cell Phone Lost in a Retention Pond in Marmora NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

I received a text from an unknown number asking if I am the guy who finds things. His co-worker lost a cell phone in a retention pond. I started asking questions like, « How deep is the pond? » He said 4 – 5 feet deep. He then put me in touch with Danyl.

Danyl said that her son was using her phone and received some very upsetting news. He threw her phone & it ended up in the pond. Turns out Danyl is also a 1st responder in Ventnor. Our schedules weren’t lining up. We were able to meet 2 weeks later. I told her it was a slim chance that a phone underwater that long would still work. She wanted to try, since there were pictures on it that weren’t backed up.

Picture 1 shows the pond. I put on my chest waders and walked into the pond. After a few feet, I turned around and exited the pond. I said that I couldn’t search the pond on foot because there were too many roots, stumps, and vines under the water. A major tripping hazard. If I tripped in chest-deep water, my waders would fill up and possibly get submerged.
I asked if I could use her nearby kayak. She said yes and retrieved it for me. After loading myself & my gear, I said I am probably going to drown anyway, as I was only on a kayak once before.
I launched and immediately realized it wasn’t going to be as easy as I thought. Every time I swung my metal detector, it sent the kayak in a different direction. The water is about 4 feet deep, and the paddle is about 5 feet long. I started jamming the paddle into the muck, swinging my detector, keeping the paddle a few feet away, and repeating the process. After a while, I realized I was getting no metal hits. You would think I would be finding beer or soda cans, bottle caps, or fishing gear.
Still no sounds after 2.5 hours of searching. I said to myself, one more trip up and back, as I was doing a grid pattern. On the way up I finally got a loud hit. It was fairly large. I tried to use my scoop to retrieve the item. But because of the roots & vines, I couldn’t get it. Danyl said she had been searching for it since it was lost while she was magnet fishing on her kayak. I didn’t want to move, so I asked if there was a way she could bring me the magnet. She went and got another kayak. When she got to me, she tried several times to fish it out. I had her move away a little & give me the magnet. On my first drop, I felt it click on. I gave her the rope and told her to bring up her phone.
We both were amazed when we saw it was her phone. When we got back to the shore, I put the phone on a table leaning upright with the charging port down in direct sunlight to start the drying process. I told her not to power it on or charge it for at least a week. When the sun went down, to get a Tupperware bowl & put an inch of rice on the bottom. Then place her phone on the rice, and then cover the phone with even more rice. Leave it in the rice for at least 1 week.
After a week, she plugged in the charger, and it lit up with a message, water detected. She contacted me, and I said to put it back in the rice for another week. 10 days later, she texted me. With the message that it was from the phone we rescued.
All I could say was wow. I love helping people, but helping another 1st responder is extra special. She is a paid firefighter with 20ish years in. The person who originally contacted me was her captain. We shared a lot of stories.
I am dedicated to finding your lost items!
I love my hobby!!

Lost wedding ring… FOUND 💍

This recovery started as I got a call from Dave in Maui—Brian had lost his wife’s wedding ring on the beach. I was already nearby, so I told him, “I’ll be right there.”

It was a busy, sunny Hawaii day—people everywhere, swimming, relaxing… but somewhere in that sand was a missing ring with a lot of meaning behind it.

I fired up my XP Deus and started the search.

Brian met me and gave me a general area. First signal—just a penny.

Then… BOOM. A clean, solid tone.

I started brushing away the sand.

Brian told me they had taken their rings off the night before before jumping in the water… and it vanished.

As I moved the sand, I saw it… a diamond starting to shine through.

I looked up and asked, “What does the ring look like?”

He said, “It’s a diamond ring… my wife’s.”

I held it up—“Could this be it?”

His face said everything. “YES! That’s it!”

The sun hit the diamond just right as I lifted it from the sand… everything felt still for a moment.

He grabbed it, and we celebrated right there on the beach.

Another happy ending. Another ring back where it belongs. 🤙

Lost gold wedding ring, recovered, Rolling Prairie, Indiana (LaPorte County)

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Alex took the dog out, late last night, the temp had dropped cold enough to need an extra layer. He grabbed a coat, which had his father’s wedding band in the top pocket. When bending over to pick up the dog, the ring fell out in the un-mowed lush grass. He had a good idea of where this occurred and contacted me, after finding me via an internet search. Arrived early this morning, began the search, encountered the usual yard targets, but quickly sorted through those. It took just a few minutes of detecting and in the last probably spot, the Nokta Legend-2 detector sang with a nice 32 vdi#/signal. The ring was hiding well in the grass, as Alex said he had searched on hands & knees trying to comb through the grass quite thoroughly.

Forsyth, Stokes, Davidson, Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes Counties Metal Detecting Service… Lost your Ring, Cell Phone or Keys… Call ASAP – TheRingFinders Brad (336) 793-5698.

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I received a message on social media reply to a post where I had assisted a lady in locating a tool she had dropped in her yard.  She explained that she had lost her diamond ring in her yard while randomly pulling weeds over a year ago.  Her main question was could it be found after this amount of time.  I responded absolutely that rings have been found that have been lost for hundreds of years and precious metals hold up very well in the soil.

We scheduled a day and time for me to review the area that she thought it could have dropped.  We searched four areas of her home with negative results.  After an hour she wanted to stop the search so she could prepare a meal for her family.  Even though not immediately found we know where the ring is not hiding and I hope to schedule time and perform a broader search around her home.

Most important if you are reading this and have lost a ring or valuable item « Do Not » post specifics on social media with pictures and where you last saw the item.  Social media is great but also not so honest people are there as well that will gladly take your information and search for your item for their personal gain.  Its sad but does often occur.  Please reach out to me or another reputable individual that may be able to assist you in locating your item.

This is a hobby for me and not a business so any reward you provide other than expenses I gladly accept and in turn share with local non-profits and St. Jude Children’s hospital.

I love my hobby and more importantly the smiles on peoples faces when their items are found.

Brigantine NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

Lost a ring in Brigantine NJ?

Call 215-850-0188

Losing a wedding band in the ocean can feel final. The waves, currents, and constantly shifting sand make recovery seem nearly impossible. But a recent recovery in Brigantine, NJ proves that with experience and persistence, even a ring lost in the surf can be found.

The client was enjoying a swim in the ocean in Brigantine when he suddenly realized his wedding band had slipped off his finger. Cold water and wave action often cause fingers to shrink, making rings easier to lose. Within seconds, the ring disappeared beneath the surface.

A professional search was conducted shortly after the loss. The initial search focused on the area where the ring was believed to have come off. Despite a careful and methodical grid search using specialized metal detecting equipment designed for ocean conditions, the ring was not located. This is not uncommon, as tides and wave movement can quickly shift objects away from their original location.

Rather than giving up, a second search was scheduled the following day. This time, the strategy changed. By evaluating tide patterns, wave direction, and how heavier objects settle in the sand, the search area was adjusted beyond the original drop zone.

During the second search, after expanding and repositioning the grid, a strong signal was detected beneath the sand. Within moments, the lost wedding band was recovered.

This recovery highlights an important lesson: rings lost in the ocean are often moved by natural forces, and a second search with an adjusted approach can make all the difference.

At Ring Finders South Jersey, each recovery is handled with experience, the right equipment, and a commitment to finding what others might consider lost for good.

If you’ve lost a ring in the ocean or on the beach, don’t assume it’s gone forever. A professional search even a second one can lead to a successful recovery when you least expect it.

Gold Engagement Ring Found in Frick Park in Pittsburgh, PA By Metal Detector Specialist Brian Carpenter

  • from Indiana (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. 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…

Maddie reached out to me after she lost her engagement ring when they were taking pictures in Frick Park. The ring was lost in some thick vegetation. A friend of hers had tried to locate the ring with a metal detector but was unsuccessful.

I arrived early the next morning and met her and her fiancé. She showed me where they had been and I got started. It was not too long and I found a quarter that they threw into the grass to try to find with the other metal detector. I jokingly gave it back to Maddie to return to her friend. I felt a little better that if the other detectorist missed a quarter they threw in there it was probably a good guess he would miss the ring. A few more minutes and I found her ring, almost exactly where she said it should be.

Maddie was extremely excited and relieved to have her ring back. As always, it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and be able to return their lost ring!

Beach Chair Wedding Ring Loss .. Newport Beach .. Found by Metal Detecting Service

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

 

Mark called Metal Detector Man to help him find his wedding ring lost from his beach chair into dry sand.. If you need professional help, call or text Stan .. 949-500-2136


*** Mark lost his wedding ring at Newport Beach,CA. He had put his ring in the cupholder of his beach chair while he wet swimming in the ocean. After spending several hours enjoying the sun with his family, he returned to their summer vacation cottage. That’s when he realized he had not put his ring back on his finger and it wasn’t in the beach chair.

Mark contacted me after finding me on a search for metal detecting service.

Most the time the ring falls out of the cupholder when the chair was picked up. Getting back to the general location is not always easy. (all sand looks the same after everyone leaves the beach) .. I usually ask the person who lost the item if they remember any holes or trash that they remember might be still,in the area.

This time the ring was recovered 50’to 60’ from the area where he had picked up the chair. Mark was very happy to get his wedding ring back where it belongs.
