Last night I got a call from a number from Hungary. I figured I was getting spammed so I let it go to voice mail. What it was though was a family from Hungary on a once in a lifetime vacation in the U.S. had been swimming in the ocean across from their Hotel Mar Monte in Santa Barbara. Violet had been standing knee deep at high tide when a sneaker wave came up and knocked her down and her wedding ring fell off into the surf. The other problem was they were leaving the next day (today at 11am) so I needed to get there fast and early. I hit the road at 4am so I could get out on East Beach at 5am. I got to the location and began a grid search from the slope down into the water. On my fourth pass I got the sound I had been looking for on my Minelab Manticore and after 3 scoops I could hear clanging in the scoop but I couldn’t see due to the darkness. I grabbed my phone and turned on the flashlight and there it was, Violet’s ring!

The whole family was pumped as the lost ring had seemingly put a damper on the entire vacation but thanks to Dave The RingFinder it was going back to Hungary.

Lost iphone FOUND! Margate, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

Last evening I received a call from Jess. Jess explained that she was enjoying some time with family and friends at Tidewaters in Margate, New Jersey. Jess had taken her phone out while attempting to capture the sunset when the phone slipped from her hand and disappeared into the murky depths below the dock she was standing on. After speaking with Jess, we coordinated a time to meet that coincided with this mornings low tide.  I met up with Jess and her mother this morning and they directed me to the area where the phone went in. After about an hour of sifting thru black mud, crabs, clams, and metal debris I managed to locate Jess’s phone. The device was still on and appeared to be completely undamaged from the ordeal. As with most folks now a days a good portion of their captured memories reside on their phone so getting it back was a huge relief for Jess. Another successful recovery another happy client!

Sterling Silver Bracelet with Two Charms Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned Ocean Isle Beach NC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

Thursday evening, July 30, 2026, and just before 6:30 pm, I received a call from Mike stating his daughter, Ashlynn had lost her Sterling Silver Bracelet and asked if I could help find it. He also stated the bracelet was a gift from her grandmother. I asked if it was lost in the soft sand or water. He said it was lost in the soft sand on either the prior Sunday or Monday.  He also said that she had put the bracelet in a wagon along with towels and other beach items. He suspected it was lost when they got to the beach and started removing the items from the wagon. We set up a time for me to search at 8:30 pm and hung up.

I ate a quick dinner and text him, asking him if we could meet at 7:30 and he agreed. When I showed up at their rental, Mike, his wife, younger daughter and Ashlynn were waiting in the driveway. We walked down to the beach, and I was shown the area. I got a description of the bracelet and started a circular search. Not really knowing what the bracelet was going to show on the VDI (visual display indicator) I covered the area, checking every signal I got. I was going to start a north/south grid search outside the suspected area when I got a bouncing signal between 12 and 15. I took a scoop of sand and gently shook out the sand. There was nothing in the scoop, so I checked the sand and saw the outline of a possible bracelet in the sand. I reached down and pulled Ashlynn’s bracelet out of the sand. I turned around and looked at Ashlynn, who was watching me and gave her a big smile. The entire family was so happy and excited. Turns out, the bracelet was a HS graduation present from her grandmother.

Ashlynn, so happy your dad called me and we got the bracelet back where it belongs. I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Fireworks celebrations create lasting memories, but they sometimes end with valuable jewelry disappearing into the sand.

Josh contacted Ring Finders South Jersey after his wife lost a gold earring featuring a beautiful pink sapphire during the Fourth of July fireworks in Stone Harbor.

After searching unsuccessfully for two days, Josh called for professional help.

Within thirty minutes, we met on the beach and identified where the family had been sitting.

Using a professional metal detector, I began a careful grid search of the area.

Just ten minutes later, the detector alerted me to a promising signal beneath the sand.

One scoop uncovered Josh’s wife’s missing gold earring with its pink sapphire safely preserved.

The relief and excitement made another successful recovery especially rewarding.

Helping families recover sentimental jewelry remains one of the most satisfying parts of my work.

Ring Finders South Jersey proudly serves Stone Harbor and surrounding South Jersey beaches with professional lost jewelry recovery services.

Thank you, Josh, for trusting me to recover your wife’s treasured earring.

Another sentimental item returned home means another happy ending in Stone Harbor, New Jersey.

Concord Mills, NC – Lost wedding ring cleaning garden – FOUND!

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

Received text message Tuesday asking if I could help find her husbands wedding band.  I advised could help tomorrow afternoon as would be in area and another ring finder services that area.  She is out of town and timing is perfect husband contacted another but wasn’t available for a few days.  Story is that husband was cleaning garden and while tossing bad tomatoes over the fence he realized his ring was missing.   I advised I would arrive at 6:30 and would text when enroute and again at 10 minutes out.

Arrived at their home and husband led me to the garden area and reenacted his work pattern of throwing with left hand backwards over the fence. I searched the immediate area and V pattern towards to fence. Negative results…. Relocated to outside of fence and began search carefully from fence and 10 feet back. This was a little more difficult because of small trees and overgrowth.  After 10 minutes working across the fence line I heard the desired tone and visually spotted the ring at the base of a tree. I retrieved the ring and handed to its owner whom was very happy.

Conversation following the recovery, owner admitted he had purchased a metal detector locally and searched without success. Said « the thing just made a lot of noises ». He then described purchasing a pen pointer off Amazon and searching following an online search suggestion.  Great that he tried himself and fortunate the area was in his property but had it been in a public space the delay and prolonged time laying on the ground a stranger could have just happened by and found it and gained a new ring to his loss.   Absolutely nothing better that the big smiles folks make when their items are found and returned.

Sea Isle City NJ Lost Gold Chain Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

LOST A RING IN SEA ISLE CITY NJ?

Some recoveries happen when you least expect them.

I had just arrived in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, for another lost ring recovery. As I prepared my equipment, a woman approached me with another heartbreaking story.

Her son, Jack, had lost a gold chain in the ocean just hours earlier.

The chain wasn’t just another piece of jewelry. It had been in their family for over 40 years. Jack had proudly worn it every day for the past 10 years.

I assured Jack’s mom that I would gladly help after finishing my current recovery. She left for dinner while I completed the first search.

Once that recovery was finished, I gathered all the important details and headed to the area where Jack believed the chain was lost.

Using my professional metal detecting equipment and a systematic grid search, I carefully worked the search area.

About 20 minutes later, I heard the signal I was hoping for.

Inside my scoop was Jack’s missing gold chain.

Recovering sentimental jewelry never gets old. Every successful recovery reminds me why I joined The Ring Finders in 2016.

I immediately called Jack, got his address, and personally delivered his family’s treasured necklace back to him.

The excitement and relief on everyone’s faces made the day even more rewarding.

Receiving reviews like this means the world to me:

« INCREDIBLE work by John Favano! My mom saw him on another recovery mission and asked him to keep an eye out for my gold chain which has been in our family for 40 years but it fell off in the ocean a few hours earlier. I’ve been wearing it for 10 years so we were all so bummed when I lost it but John saved the day! He delivered it back to us with a smile. We are all still in shock that he was able to recover this item for us. Highly recommend calling him if you lose anything!! »

Lost Tungsten Wedding Band at Queen’s Beach Waikiki…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a phone call from a local named Phil who said a couple on Queen’s Beach in Waikiki lost a wedding band in the dry sand.  I told him I could be there in about 15 minutes.  I also told them to stop looking and just draw a box around the area.  I heard him shout out « Stop digging! »  Parking was a breeze as it was starting to drizzle.  When I got down to Queen’s Beach Phil introduced me to Edwin and his lovely wife Paola, who were on vacation from San Diego, California.  The ring was Edwin’s and he said it was a Tungsten gun metal gray ring.  The box was already drawn in the sand and you could see all the disturbed sand from hunting for the ring.  I started the grid search on the west side and worked east.  First target fell through the scoop.  Not a ring.  Next target on the drawn grid edge BOOM! Tungsten ring.  Elapsed time 45 seconds and Vacation saved!  Much Aloha to Edwin & Paola!

Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found & Returned, Pope Beach, Lake Tahoe

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)

Got a text last night at 8:34pm requesting a lost ring recovery search at Pope Beach, Lake Tahoe.
Backstory: (Pope Beach the previous evening), Keaton placed his platinum wedding ring in his shirt, on the beach, before going for a swim. When he got back from the swim, he picked up his shirt and his ring fell into the sand and disappeared. He spent the better part of an hour searching, with no ring found.
Knowing of TheRingFinders.com way before he ever lost his ring, he knew exactly who to contact.
5:54am I started searching. Keaton provided a map, description of how he lost his ring and landmarks nearby.
All of which got me into the right area. My first solid signal, a 59 on my XP Deus 2 metal detector, ended up being his lost ring.
Keaton arrived at 6:30am, I handed the ring over, he was happy and relieved to have it back on his finger.

Lost Tiffany & Co. Silver Ring & Blue Sapphires at Lanikai Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began Monday, July 13th when I got a text from Dianna that said, « Hope you can help me search for a ring back in Oahu, Lanikai Beach? »  Dianna was back in California and said the ring was lost the week prior and was in knee deep water about 6 feet from the dry sand.  She also added at the end of the beach access turn right about 6-10 feet and straight in.  Knowing how much Lanikai gets detected my worst fear was it was probably found already.  I agreed to hunt Wednesday morning at low tide.  I arrived at 5:30 in the morning and good thing I did as there was only one parking spot remaining, a block from the access.  This place is very popular for the stunning sunrise from the pillbox trail.  When I got to the beach, I started my grid search a bit more to the right and worked back towards the beach access.  First target was a crusty Lincoln Cent.  Then a booming high tone.  I couldn’t believe the blessing when I looked in my scoop and there was Dianna’s gorgeous Tiffany Ring in the scoop.  I immediately went to my car and texted her a pic.  Dianna said,  » I literally had a dream last night that you found it and I woke up like Praying I hope it happens.  Prayers do work!  She was blessed.  Aloha to Dianna!

 

Titanium Wedding Band recovery from the Saco in N. Conway NH.

  • from North Conway (New Hampshire, United States)

Screenshot

I received a message from Cain’s wife after she found me online. While they were relaxing and enjoying the day on the Saco River in North Conway, New Hampshire, Cain’s wedding band slipped off and disappeared into the river.

The ring was lost somewhere within an area of roughly 300 square feet. After arriving on site and searching with my metal detector, I was able to locate and recover his wedding band in about 30 minutes.

There’s nothing better than returning something so meaningful to its owner. Seeing the relief and smiles on their faces made the trip completely worthwhile.
