Lost Wedding Ring, Ortley Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder
The Queen of the Castle’s Courtyard…..
…What started as a whole castle and carriage search for Jen’s missing ring ended up searching outside as well. The wax sealed letter revealed she wasn’t sure where to look but remembers that the day it went missing, she had been to a lot of places in and out of the castle and left no breadcrumb trail. After reading I realized this was no fairy tale. Crossing the moat and passing thru the gatehouse Jen assured me all defense mechanisms were disabled. I started my search of the great hall, kitchen, Queen’s chamber and with no enemies this castle had no dungeon(darn!). I used my MXT with wide search coil to search the smaller outer courtyard behind the castle where she had travelled to bring hors d’oeuvres to her guests and the children. No signals came thru. So, I went to the larger outer courtyard in front of the castle and started to walk around the perimeter of the castle with my dowsing rod to see if it would indicate an attraction of where to metal detect. As I started to pass the stone walkway leading to the spiked oak door and near a brick tower next to the inner courtyard Jen was previously preparing for high tea the dowsing rod pulled sharply to the right. I walked into the inner courtyard and took another sweep with the rod to see if the signal was coming from behind the castle walls, but the rod pulled to the right towards the brick tower. Looking thru the small pile of leaves and debris where the attraction was revealed Jen’s ring concealed next to the tower!! As she looked out from an upper chamber, I hailed her to come out. As she held her precious ring in her hand, she was amazed that it was found where it was. And now with peace restored in the kingdom, she can close this chapter of the book, take back the curse the course it took, and over high tea tell a better story of the glory!
HAMPTON, N.J. — Ring Finder Bill Leasure recovered a wedding ring today in New Jersey for a family after it had been lost along a roadway nearly seven months ago.
Kim’s husband lost his tungsten wedding ring nearly seven months ago and as the months passed, the prospects became bleak on ever finding the ring.
Bill responded to a call from Kim and came out early today to conduct a search. Covering an area of about three acres, the search took about three hours. As the search waned near an end, a signal of tungsten rang out in Bill’s detector. As he uncovered a few inches of soil, there lie the ring that had been missing for over half the year.
Kim was ecstatic to receive the ring back as a priceless family heirloom was returned again to her husband’s finger.

It’s not really summer anymore but we are still blessed with beautiful weather and that means days on the beach. Jennifer and her husband of 15 years came down from Arkansas and had been enjoying Perdido Key when calamity struck. Jennifer had taken her Diamond wedding band off and put it in the cup holder of her chair. After several relocations of the chair to find the perfect spot, Jennifer found herself packing up with the realization that her ring was gone. She Google searched and found me and luckily I was already nearby. She wasn’t sure if it was in the water or on the beach so I started with the easy part first. I had just set up a grid search and only barely started to cover the area when I heard a tone that had to be gold. I gently scooped it up and smiled at Jennifer. She came running over and magically the vacation was saved. Congrats Jennifer, I’m very proud that I could help you. God Bless!

Jalen contacted me about her ring she lost off a dock while enjoying lunch and feeding the ducks. Not until my 3rd dive attempt was I successful at recovering it. The video explains the situation and difficulties involved. It was my honor to represent The Ring finders and get it back to her.
I received a call from a lady that was needing my help! Here is the story of how she came to needing my services.
On a HOT summer day down in hocking hills at the campground my husband and I had a few too many cold ones at the pool. Later that evening after watching some football and having a few more cold ones my husband of 8 years decided I shut the door a little too aggressively as I was going into our camper to make him a plate of food. The argument escalated into a full on screaming match and I decided I would take my wedding rings off and throw them. The first throw was pretty unsuccessful and before I knew it I saw my rings within sight so I picked up the biggest one and gave it a big ol fling! Jump to the hangover morning after we hopped in the truck and drove half an hour away to buy a metal detector. First time turning it on and it hits, found the wedding band. Continued the search for the engagement ring for as long as we could stand it. Felt like a hamster running on one of those wheels that goes no where! Fast forward to the next weekend and we went back down to camp to look again. Felt the same way, hamster on the wheel! Meanwhile the song by the band Perry ‘you lie’ the part about the wedding ring playing over and over in my head. After a 3rd weekend of an unsuccessful treasure hunt we decided to try professionals to get the job done. After a search online I came across Steve! He lived an hour and half away from our campground but on an evening after work met us down there to take over the hunt. Meanwhile he’s searching I just feel so defeated and thinking about my bad choices. He had me reenact my poor choice and where that ring landed he concentrated the search. We moved a pile of logs used for the fire pit and there it laid. Steve really was a God send and I am so thankful for him coming to help me undo what I had done. I feel complete again instead of thinking about my bad decisions every time I look at my hand. If you are unlucky and need Steve’s help or even if you just make bad choices at times Steve is your guy!

I got a call from Noah’s mom to see if I could help him locate a special ring that he had lost while playing basketball. It was a ring that his older brother once wore. What a blast to see siblings so close to each other. I got the story and pulled out my detector and……………Oh no. There was an underground dog fence giving off a lot of EMI. Bad thing was the house was vacant and I couldn’t turn it off. I started to make adjustments and learned that if I crept real slow I could hear signals amongst all the chatter. A few minutes later I let Noah be the one to operate the pinpointer and recovery the ring. The video shows the interference and the recovery.
Jon from Hampshire was playing in the waves in Swanage sea when he felt his ring slip from his finger. He tried desparately to find it but by then the sand had covered it over.
We had a rough idea of its location so three days later, in about three feet of water I begun my search.
As fortune has it I soon found it and it was sent by post the next day. Jon was exremely happy to have it back and made a kind donation to the Magaret Green Animal Charity.
I received a call from Paula who had lost her two tone Black Hills gold ring while doing yard work earlier this summer. The ring was a gift from her husband when his service to our country in the Air Force took him to South Dakota over 40 years ago. I headed to Augusta after work today and was able reunite Paula after a 15 minute search of her lawn.
Demi from Essex was devasteated to have lost her Grandmas wedding band in the sea in Swanage during a weekend trip. She had felt it slip and knew of the approx area which for ring finders like me really helps.
I visited several times during low and high tide and on my forth visit up came the ring. Demi was very appreciative to have the ring back on her finger and made a kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Charity.
