It was a sunny Friday afternoon in North Wildwood, NJ when Dana’s beach day took an unexpected turn. What started as a fun and relaxing time with friends quickly became a moment of panic and heartbreak all over one small, but very meaningful item: her gold high school class ring.
The class ring was lost in the sand in North Wildwood NJ
Dana had been standing near the dunes, to talk to some friends and something happened. As Dana threw her hands into the air to wave with excitement. In that exact moment, the ring slipped right off her finger and disappeared into the sand. “I felt it leave my hand,” Dana told me. “It was like slow motion. I looked down, and it was gone. Just gone. “The group immediately began combing the area with their hands, digging and searching. But as anyone who’s lost jewelry on the beach knows, the sand has a way of swallowing things whole.
After several frustrating minutes, Dana’s friend remembered hearing about professional metal detectorists who help recover lost items on the beach. A quick search brought her to RingFindersSouthJersey.com, and her friend called me John Favano right away. I answered immediately, asked a few questions, and told I told her I was already close by and would be there in about 15 minutes. I arrived with my metal detector and experience.
After asking Dana to point out the area she was standing and which way she waved, I scanned the area for no more than five minutes before the metal detector got a strong signal. One scoop of sand later and there it was. Dana’s gold class ring, still glinting in the sunlight. “Dana couldn’t believe it. I was shocked. I thought it was gone forever,” Dana said. “John is amazing at what he does. I’m so thankful my friend found him. ”Stories like Dana’s happen more often than most people think, especially on busy beaches during the summer.

This nice lady lost her beautiful wedding ring in the woods across the street from her home. But she wasn’t sure where. I searched using a detector with a small coil so I could check in weeds, brush and around trees. It took about an hour to find it in some weeds it fell into, out of sight, next to a pine tree. The detector was telling me right where it was but I couldn’t see it. It had fallen down to soil level in a tight clump of weeds. She couldn’t believe I found if. I wa happy too because it could have been anywhere. It was quite different from a beach search.
Found this ring while looking for another. Asked around and heard of a fellow who lost a ring about two week before. Was able to get his name and contact him for a return. He sent me a picture of his lost ring and that is indeed the one I found. Ring was mailed back to him. Some times we just get lucky.
Sara was vacationing at Ft. Walton Beach Florida when she lost her wedding rings. She was able to find the wedding band but not the engagement ring. She had returned home to Illinois when she called asking if I could find her lost ring. She sent me an aerial with an outline of the area she lost it and a photo of her engagement ring. The next morning i searched the area and found her ring within 8 or 10 feet of where she predicted but was 5 or 6 inches deep. The next day Sara and I did a face time call with the folks at my local UPS store and sent her ring home secure, insured and with in person delivery. Sara was very happy her ring is back where it belongs!
