Englewood Beach Yarmouth, MA Wedding Band Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

June 7, 2025

It was on the fifth day before Dan’s first anniversary that he and his wife were enjoying boating on Cape Cod’s water, visiting a small island and a sandy beach with their granddaughter and family when somewhere along the way his one year old wedding band slipped off his finger.

The previous days of searching did not locate the ring. After hearing of a story of one of my previous finds, Dan’s wife took family recommendation about a group called TheRingFinders and and did a web search. Her search showed 4 entries for Cape Cod and she called me as I had over 200 returns and was the closest to her. Within two hours I was searching for the ring. Dan and Donna showed up about ten minutes into my cursory search. I had gone under the swing set and down to the water’s edge with only one signal, that of a of a penny. We then talked about Dan’s area of walking on the beach and I was close, but I was not close enough. The area were a dinghy was moved to and that of a swing set, where the granddaughter had enjoyed being push by Dan, would need a more thorough search.

I continued my search to the dinghy area and then up to the swing set area, finding a button and another penny on the way. I expanded the area under the sixth swing and very close to a leg of the swing set the best signal of the day rang into my ears. A small scoop into the sand, a quick shake of the scoop and there it was – the ring that would not stay lost for the evening’s anniversary party. What a day for the 78 year old couple, on their first anniversary! A day to remember.

Lost Condo Key Found in the Sand Wildwood, NJ Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

There’s nothing quite like a summer day on the beach in Wildwood, NJ  warm sun, cool waves, and good company. But sometimes, the fun gets interrupted by a small mistake that quickly turns into a big problem. That’s exactly what happened recently when Karen’s son’s friend accidentally lost their condo key on the beach. What started as a game of catch quickly turned into a frantic search in the sand—and that’s when I got the call.

Karen explained that the boys were tossing the key back and forth, not thinking much of it. But one throw went too high, and the key slipped through someone’s fingers and vanished into the soft Wildwood sand. They spent nearly an hour digging around, hoping it would turn up, but it was nowhere to be found. With the sun starting to set and no spare key available, panic started to set in.

Luckily, Karen knew about The Ring Finders South Jersey, and she gave me a call. I was already nearby, and just 10 minutes later, I was on the scene with my metal detector in hand and ready to help.

Wildwood, NJ has a wide beach, and once something small like a key disappears into the sand, it can be nearly impossible to find without the right tools. I asked a few quick questions to pinpoint the general area where the key was lost. The boys had done a good job marking the spot where they last saw it, which made the search much easier.

Within five minutes of scanning the area with my metal detector, I got a solid signal. A few scoops later, and there it was the lost condo key, still partially buried beneath the sand. The look of relief on everyone’s faces was priceless. Karen thanked me repeatedly, saying she had no idea how they would’ve gotten back into the condo if it weren’t for the quick recovery.

This is just one example of how The Ring Finders South Jersey can help when something important goes missing on the beach. Whether it’s a lost ring, key, phone, or other metal item, our tools and experience can often recover what seems lost forever.

Ocean Recovery Success in Surf City NJ, LBI – Lost Necklace Found in Waist-Deep Water, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Later in the evening, I received a message from Elena asking if I could help locate her husband’s necklace, which he had lost earlier that day in the ocean at Surf City NJ, LBI. I asked her to give me a call so we could go over the details more easily. As we talked, I explained how difficult ocean recoveries can be—especially when water conditions have been rough, like they were recently.

One big advantage they had going for them, though, was the timing. The necklace was lost during high tide, and we had some strong negative tides due to the full moon, which gave us a better shot at recovery.

The next day, Elena confirmed her husband, Sean, would meet me at low tide to point out the exact spot where it came off. He explained that it was a necklace with a cross and pendant, and it hadn’t broken—it had just slipped off while he was playing in the surf with their daughter.

I arrived at the beach a bit early and began searching. Once Sean arrived we surveyed the area together, and I started working a grid in waist-deep water. After digging a few signals with no luck, I finally hit a very faint tone that sounded promising. The target was deep—about 8 to 10 inches under the sand—and on the second scoop, the signal vanished from the hole.

As the sand cleared in my scoop, I saw it—Sean’s beautiful necklace with the cross and pendant still intact. It was a great recovery under tough conditions and well worth the effort.

If you’ve lost something in the water or on the beach, don’t wait—call me right away. The sooner we get started, the better the chances of success.

Metal Detecting Service…Spanish Banks Vancouver

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost Ring, Cell Phone, Keys… 24/7 Metal Detecting Service- Call ASAP Don’t wait until it’s too late… Chris 778-838-3463.

I received a call yesterday evening in regards to a Lost custom-made silver ring at Spanish Banks Beach… After asking my series of questions this search sounded like it was going to only take a few minutes to find as they knew where it came off. The sand is an amazing thing it’s so hard to find something that you saw land in the sand and trying to dig it out of the sand is nearly impossible without the help of a Metal Detector and the experience of the user.

What most people don’t realize is if you don’t act right away and called the number above your ring could be gone by the next morning or that evening. With the rising price of gold it has created an amazing number of new metal detectorists. Competition is at an all-time high.

As believed this search only took me a minute to find their smile. I love my job and being able to reconnect people with these cherish keepsakes! This ring was custom-made by an artist from New York. It was purchased while travelling in New York and given to her boyfriend.

I love my job!

Lost Smart Ring Found in Royal Oak Michigan

The One Ring to Rule Them All?…,,,,

…How about a smart ring? Some of the features include health, heart monitoring, and can track where you go, the ad mentioned. This caught Joey’s attention and for a moment his thoughts went back to one of his favorite superheroes….. The Green Lantern and his power ring…. How cool would it be to have something similar but different in the sense of helping change how he could track his health. Further reading checked all the boxes and Joey bought one. But what happed next isn’t your average superhero story. When he called and said he lost his smart ring I asked if it was so smart why did it jump off his finger? lol. He said as he was leaving a little league game it started raining and the ring was lost in a grass area near the parking lot. Using my MXT metal detector it only took a few minutes, and the ring was recovered in the grass. Joey was thrilled that the future was back on his finger, and he was ready again to simplify his life with just a touch. The question remains tho, with all this ring’s monitoring and tracking true love capabilities, are you ready to say I Do with one?

How to find a lost ring with Metal Detector, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Jason called me about his wedding ring, which he had lost in the sand the day before. Since it was a beautiful day and the beach was likely to be crowded, I asked if he could head up to the area and try to secure it so we’d have a clear space to work. When I arrived, Jason showed me the spot where he thought the ring was lost. After searching the area for about 15 minutes, I found no sign of the ring.

It had rained since the ring was lost, but you could still see footprints and tire marks from a beach cart. I walked with Jason around mid-beach, pointing out what I thought was the correct location. Unfortunately, they had set up their large group—about 20 chairs, carts, toys, and more—right over that spot. I asked them to move everything over to the already-searched area, and I began searching again, starting from the high tide line and working back.

Less than five minutes into the new search, I got a strong signal from my metal detector. Carefully digging into the sand with my scoop, I pulled up Jason’s ring. Everyone in his party was amazed that I found it so quickly. Another vacation saved by NJ Ring Finder!

Lost Wedding Band Recovered in the Gulf – Orange Beach, AL

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I got a call this afternoon from Madison who was vacationing with her whole family in Orange Beach, AL. Madison’s husband, Chris had been out in the Gulf throwing a football in the rough waters when he realized that his wedding band was missing.

I talked with Madison on the phone and she was so nice that I decided I would make the drive in traffic to help out. When I got there, the whole family was ready to watch, help and cheer me on.

The Gulf was pretty choppy but I was able to do several passes with no luck. I decided to switch angles and adjust the area a bit based on the tides and some extra input from others who were vested in the outcome.

Sure enough I only went a little farther until I heard a beautiful gold sound in my headphones and scooped up Chris’ wedding band.

In the celebration with the whole family I quickly learned from Madison and Chris that they had only been married since November. I told them that I was so happy that I could give them an awesome story to share for years to come.

Congratulations Chris and Madison and thank you for trusting me with your ring!

« Do Not Duplicate Key » Lost In Old Orchard Beach, Maine, Found With A metal Detector and Returned To Owner

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:
While out on a search, for some lost missing rings, I found a freshly dropped Key. Once home that night, I was looking at the key and noticed it was a “Do Not Duplicate” key and the locksmiths name and phone number was on the key, to call if found. The locksmiths name is Fortier’s Lock, and a Maine phone number is also on the key. After an internet search, I found Fortier’s Security Center, formerly Fortier’s Locksmith and is located in Lewiston, Maine,  approximately 50 minutes north of me. Now, Fortier’s Security Center is the oldest locksmith in Maine. It is family owned and has been in business since 1921. WOW, over 100 years old and still family owned.
So I called the number the next morning, Saturday, but they were closed until Monday. Monday rolled around and I called again. This time I was able to reach them and explained to her, what I had found. She told me they could locate the owner by the serial numbers, on the key. I gave her the serial numbers and she would call the owner. Perfect, I will be able to return the key, once the owner called me, after being contacted by Fortier’s Security Center. Wednesday came and I still hadn’t heard anything. I called Fortier’s Security Center and the employee told me they had left a message for the owner of the key because no one had answered their phone call. They would call the owner again and try to make contact. I received no call on Wednesday or Thursday.
So on Friday I decided to drive toLewiston, Maine and drop the key off myself, to Fortier’s Security Center. Cheryl and I were heading to Athens, Maine, for a funeral, on Friday and we would be driving right by Lewiston, on our way to Athens. We would just get off the Maine Turnpike and drop the key off to Fortier’s Center, on Lisbon Street. As luck would have it, Fortier’s Security Center is just off the turnpike exit and I would be able to get right back on the road. Once I arrived at the location, I went inside and was immediately approached by the owner. I showed him the key and explained the situation. He assured me that the owner would get the key back and they would call them again today. Thankfully the records show who the owner is and the owner will soon have their key back.  So, now I have returned the key and although it may not be as flashy as a diamond engagement ring being returned, it is a return of a key that may  unlock a safe deposit box that holds jewelry and gold coins. Well I can dream, can’t I.

History Repeating Itself Averted! Stainless-Steel Chain and Silver St. Christopher Medal Lost, Found, and Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

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

Just before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, I got a call from Robert asking if I could help find his stainless-steel necklace with a St. Christopher Medal. He told me he had called the Ring Finder closer to Wrightsville Beach, John Finnerin, but didn’t get an answer. I could tell by the desperation in his voice that this necklace was very important to him. I told him I’d give John a call and if I couldn’t get him, I’d be on my way. John didn’t answer, so I called Robert back and told him it’d take me almost an hour and a half to get there. Unfortunately, Robert and his wife were already home from vacation, so I needed a good idea of the search area. On the way up to the beach, I called Robert back and discussed all the necessary details I needed. He told me that he rarely took the necklace off. When they set up their chairs for the day on the beach, he took the necklace off and put it in the chair cup holder. When they were packing up and leaving the next day is when he realized his necklace was gone.

When I arrived, and found a place to park, I called Robert back to confirm I was at the right beach access. He also gave me a couple more landmarks that lined up with where I was. I made my way down to the beach access and out on the beach. There was about a 3-4 ft cut (where the waves wash away the sand). Again, I called Robert to verify whether the cut was there the day before, He said it was and they were sitting in front of that, towards the ocean. I got as much information as I needed and went to work. I started at the top of the cut and took my search out to about 15-20 yards on each side of the middle of the access. Within15 minutes, and as I made my 3rd turn to go in the other direction, I got a loud solid signal. The number on my machine was showing me 29, which normally is a quarter. I dug the shallow target out, turned on my headlamp and looked in the scoop. In the bottom of the scoop, there was St Christopher looking up at me. I walked back to the car and took a picture and sent it to Robert. I then called him, and I could tell he was extremely relieved his necklace, and the medal were found, I told him to send me his address, and I’d get it in the mail the next day.

I was curious about the back story concerning the necklace and medal, so I text him. With his permission here’s his story in his own words. “My dad gave that necklace to me when I was 13 (I’m now 25, so 12 years ago). His dad’s mom gave him the same kind of necklace when my dad was around that age too. He wore it at all times. Well, my dad wore his necklace to Wrightsville Beach one year some time in his early-mid-twenties and he lost it in the ocean. Sadly, his mom had passed away between giving him the necklace and him losing it, so it was a really tragic loss for him. My dad ended up getting another one, but he always warned me to not wear mine into the ocean, To this day, I’ve never worn mine in any body of water for that reason. I’m usually extremely careful with it. However, because I wear it all the time, sometimes I forget when it’s on or off. It feels like a part of me. I didn’t realize I had worn it down to the beach on Monday. I was careless when I took it off and placed it in the cup holder of my beach chair. After being on the beach all day, I had forgotten that I put it there. My wife and I started packing up our things, and it must’ve fallen out into the sand right then and there without me realizing. I wouldn’t realize that it was missing until the next morning when we started packing up to go home. Sorry for the long text! There’s a lot to tell being somewhat of a family tradition.”

Robert – Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me to help find and return this precious treasure back to where it belongs.

I heard from Robert today (Friday) and his treasure is back home!

Jim
