Lost Rose Gold Ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag


We got a call on a lost signet ring while gardening today and since we were on our way close by them, we stopped to check. It was found in flowerpot she a had redone. If only all of them were this easy.

Colin and his family were enjoying a sunny vacation in Sea Isle City, NJ. Like many beachgoers, they spent the day relaxing, swimming, and playing in the sand. Before heading out to the beach, Colin applied sunscreen and tied his wedding ring to the drawstring of his bathing suit. It seemed like a safe spot at the time.
The day flew by with fun and sun. Colin had completely forgotten where he’d placed his ring. Later that evening, while out to dinner with his family, he remembered. He reached down to untie the ring and realized—it was gone. His heart sank.
Everyone at the table felt the shock. Colin shared the story with a few people nearby. Someone overheard and suggested he contact Ring Finders South Jersey. They said, “You need The Sea Isle City Ring Finder! He’s helped a lot of people recover lost jewelry.”
Colin reached out the very next day.
When he called me, I could hear the worry in his voice. His wedding ring held deep sentimental value. He gave me a general idea of where they had been on the beach. Though Colin had already left Sea Isle City to head home, he was hopeful the ring could still be found.
I headed out that same day with my gear. As a local expert in Sea Isle City metal detector searches, I know the beaches well. I began by gridding off the area he described, working slowly and methodically. I scanned every section carefully, checking signals and removing trash to get better readings.
After about an hour of searching, I heard a clean, solid tone. I dug carefully—and there it was. A beautiful gold wedding band buried just a few inches under the sand.
Success!
Since Colin had already left town, I met up with his sister, who was still in Sea Isle City. I returned the ring to her, and she promised to deliver it back to Colin. The look on her face said it all—relief, joy, and disbelief that it had actually been found.
It’s moments like these that make this job so rewarding. Helping someone recover a treasured item they thought was lost forever is incredibly meaningful.

Just before 7 p.m. on July 4th I got a text saying, “Hi, we lost a ring on the beach at Debordieu (a gated community north of Georgetown, SC). Do you still do metal detecting services?” I immediately called the number attached to the text and talked with Rick. I got a few more details and told Rick it’d take me a little over an hour but was on my way.
When I arrived, Rick had called the gate guard and let him know I was coming, so I had no problem getting through. I met Rick along the way, parked and he led me out to the spot on the beach. They had left the tent up to mark the area. I was told that Rick’s wife Candy had put the ring in her top and when she stood up to get out of the beach chair, the ring fell out. I looked at Rick and his son-in-law Josh, and said “What do you think, maybe a minute?” I turned on the machine, took about 3 steps and hit a solid 6 on the VDI (visual display indicator). Bingo! I took a small scoop of sand and gently shook it out of the scoop. Looked in the scoop and there was Candy’s beautiful ring. We drove back to Rick’s house, and I got to meet Candy who already had her ring back on. Very happy lady!!!
Josh – Thank you for finding me on Google.
Rick and Candy – Thank you for allowing me to help find your ring. Enjoy your vacation!
