Received a text from a young man in trouble. Seems he was playing volleyball while wearing his wedding ring and it came up missing after the game. The best kind of hunt, a limited area without trash. Found the ring in about 5 minutes.
Lost Gold Signet Ring Recovered on Ocean City, NJ Beach After More Than 24 Hours! Lost a ring in Ocean City, NJ? Call John 215-850-0188
When Olivia arrived in Ocean City, NJ for a relaxing beach day, she never imagined she would leave behind one of her most treasured possessions—a gold signet ring that belonged to her late grandfather.
The sentimental ring had been in her family for years and carried memories that simply could not be replaced. While enjoying her time on the beach, Olivia removed the ring and placed it in the cup holder of her beach chair for safekeeping. Unfortunately, when it was time to pack up and leave, the ring was forgotten.
The next day, more than 24 hours later, Olivia realized the ring was missing. After retracing her steps and searching on her own without success, she found Ring Finders South Jersey and contacted me, John Favano, for help.
During our phone conversation, I gathered as much information as possible about where she had been sitting and the circumstances surrounding the loss. The challenge was that the search area was quite large. With beachgoers, wind, tides, and over a full day having passed since the loss, there were no guarantees.
Upon arriving at the Ocean City beach, I began a methodical metal detecting search of the area. The search took time due to the size of the grid and the number of possible locations where the ring could have fallen from the chair.
Persistence paid off.
After carefully covering the search zone, my detector signaled a promising target beneath the sand. Moments later, Olivia’s gold signet ring emerged from the scoop.
The relief and excitement were immediate. What seemed like a hopeless situation had turned into a successful recovery.
If you’ve lost a ring, wedding band, engagement ring, necklace, or other valuable jewelry on the beach, don’t wait. Contact Ring Finders South Jersey as soon as possible. Fast action often increases the chances of a successful recovery.

Dillan and his fiancee were enjoying a swim in Lake Weir along with some friends when all of a sudden he hears his fiancee yell out that her engagement ring just came off of her finger and fell into the water. They were swimming in four or five feet deep water and they tried going under and running their fingers through the sand but after an hour or so they gave up and decided to find someone with a metal detector who could help. Online they came across theringfinders.com web site and my number and gave me a call. The next day I met Dillan and his fiancee and thankfully they were able to show me…almost to the exact spot…where the ring was dropped. They even took a picture with someone standing in the water right where it happened. Which of course made my job a whole lot easier. Whenever I do a wading water search I use pvc poles and set them in a square around the target area and then do a grid search back and forth moving 2 separate markers to keep track of where I am going and where I have been. After 20 minutes I got a perfect white gold ring signal and after one scoop with my Extreme scoop I shook the sand out and there in the bottom was Dillan’s fiancees lost engagement ring! This special ring was an heirloom ring that was passed down to Dillan’s fiancee and they were super happy to have it back. I gave them one of my silicone ring adjusters to add to the back of the ring and then reminded them to leave their jewelry in the car next time they go for a swim…and they agreed whole heartedly!

Yami called me to ask if there was any way to find a lost wallet in the dirt. I asked a few questions about the wallet and she informed me that it was her husbands and it contained some very important documents, credit cards, money and 2 other very essential elements that would help make finding it a lot easier. It contained a money clip and an Air Tag. I met Yami and her husband the next morning at the construction site and I began a systematic grid search over the areas where he thought were most likely. There were a lot of metal pieces strewn throughout the dirt and and after 40 minutes I got a promising signal in the 50s and I kicked the dirt back and there lay the young man’s lost wallet…very dirty but intact! You should have seen the ecstatic couple as they came running at me with huge smiles and arms wide for big hugs all around!

** Susan lost a very sentimental pendant in the sand at Newport Beach, CA. She had been running to catch a ball near where her friends had set up their beach towels and umbrella for a fun day at the beach, when her necklace broke.
Someone on the beach saw everybody searching the sand and told them that they could find a metal detecting service online.They didn’t know such a thing existed.
I was contacted and arrived at Newport Beach soon after talking with her.. A half hour into the search I located her special dime size pendant.. It was a happy ending to a day that was looking like she was never going to see her pendant again..
Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797
This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.
She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.
Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.
A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.
When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.
As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”
I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.
“I GOT IT!”
Yeah… I yelled.
Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.
I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.
Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…
“I found it!”
Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.
So today somehow turned into two happy endings. 😉
Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. 😂
One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.
You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.
Don’t write it off. Reach out.
Got a text about a lost ring in Long Branch NJ. After calling Anthony, I agreed to meet him at the beach. Anthony met me at the entrance of the beach and took me down to where 
ring was lost. He said he was playing volleyball when the ring flew off his finger. He stated he and his friends searched for an hour with no luck. I started searching the area with no luck. So I started a grid search and after a few passes I got the signal I was hoping for and sure enough there was his ring at the edge of the search area. Anthony was so happy to have his ring back on his finger where it belongs. Another happy ending.

A fun day in the ocean at Wildwood, NJ quickly turned stressful when a local beachgoer lost his ring while throwing a football in the surf.
The conditions were perfect for enjoying the beach. Friends and family were spending time in the water, tossing a football back and forth in the waves. During one throw, he felt something unusual on his hand. Moments later, he realized his ring had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the ocean.
Anyone who has ever lost jewelry in the surf knows how quickly panic can set in. Waves constantly shift the sand, visibility is poor, and the search area grows larger with every passing minute.
After spending considerable time searching on his own without success, he decided to call me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey.
When I received the call, I asked several important questions to help narrow down the search area. Determining the direction of the waves, water depth, and the exact activity taking place at the time of the loss can dramatically improve recovery success rates.
Once I arrived in Wildwood, I entered the water and began a systematic metal detecting search. Ocean recoveries require patience, experience, and specialized equipment designed to locate precious metals beneath wet sand and moving water.
After approximately 20 minutes of searching, I received a strong signal beneath the sand. Using my recovery scoop, I carefully dug the target and immediately spotted the missing ring.
The look of relief and excitement on the owner’s face made the entire search worthwhile. What seemed lost forever beneath the Atlantic Ocean was safely back where it belonged.
If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, bracelet, watch, or other valuable item on the beach, in the water, or in the sand, immediate action can significantly improve recovery chances.
