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)

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.

Lost Wedding Ring in Waikiki Beach

Lost Wedding Ring Found in Waikiki Beach

It all started when I got a call from Karla and Harvey about Harvey’s lost wedding band at Waikiki Beach. Knowing that Waikiki is a heavily searched area for metal detecting, I called Karla, Harvey’s partner, to gather more details. I wanted to plan my day carefully because time and conditions matter when there’s surf and other elements that com into play.

When I arrived at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Karla met me and walked me down to where she, Harvey, and their kids had been sitting. We pinpointed the general area where Harvey believed he’d lost the ring. I asked Harvey if he’d be willing to jump in the water with me to help narrow down the search. He agreed.

I fired up my XP Deus II detector, suited up, and waded out with Harvey to the reef where he thought he’d dropped it. I started a systematic grid search, pulling up nickels, pennies, fake chains—everything except his ring. After hours of searching in the choppy tide, I decided it was too challenging to continue, so I let Harvey know I’d come back the next morning.

Early the next morning, I packed my gear, headed back to Waikiki, and retraced my steps. I focused on the area Harvey described, but again, came up empty after hours of searching. I texted Harvey to let him know I hadn’t found the ring and needed to spend some time with my family. But I assured him I’d return.

The following morning, I repeated my routine—gear packed, car parked at the Royal Hawaiian—and decided to follow my gut instinct. I shifted my search to a different part of the beach, noticing more reef in this area. That made sense, given the conditions.

While scanning the reef shelf, I got a strong signal. Mask and snorkel on, I dove down, held onto the reef, and started digging. First scoop—still there. Second scoop—still there. Third scoop—and suddenly, I felt the ring slide onto my finger.

Holding my fist close to my mask in the murky water, I saw a beautiful 14-karat ring lined with diamonds. I surfaced and shouted, “I found it!” Curious beachgoers gathered around, and I explained that it was a lost wedding ring from a couple of days ago, now found. Everyone cheered—what an amazing feeling!

But Harvey and his family were no longer at Waikiki Beach. They’d moved on to Aulani, the Disney hotel on the other side of the island. I called Harvey and asked if we could meet.

I packed up, drove out to Aulani, parked in the valet, and waited. When Harvey walked down to meet me, I handed him his ring—he had no idea I’d found it. The joy and relief on his face were priceless.

Thank you, Karla and Harvey, for allowing me to be part of this special recovery. What was lost is now found. Another successful recovery—and a reminder that sometimes, persistence and instinct make all the difference.

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.

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 white gold and diamond ring surprise found after 3 years Blair Nebraska

Contact me for all your metal detecting and recovery needs. Rob 402-580-6933. Land, water, cracks in concrete, rings, keys, hearing aids, phones, etc. Helping law enforcement. Serving Lincoln and the greater Nebraska area..

This recovery starts with a story 3 years ago in 2022. Breanna took her rings off and put them in her pocket to keep them safe. She was coaching some kids sports and didn’t want to damage them. Later she went to put her rings back on and 1 of the 3 was missing. All the rings were custom made and the engagement ring was the one missing. They immediately started searching the area. Got metal detectors, had all the kids down on their hands and knees. She repeated this every night with her husband. After a month they were convinced that it might have got lost in the parking when she got her keys out and someone must have picked it up. Posting on social media had no results………until I joined that private Facebook page looking for cold cases. I reached out to try to get more information. After no success of communicating I decided to go out with the information given in the post and see if i could find it. I laid out my grid and after 3 hours got the signal that I wanted to hear among all the trash. I was then able to get ahold of Breanna a couple days later where she received a video of her ring coming out of the ground. There are lots details to this story. To much to write about. Tanner and Breanna agreed to meet up and share the story when they picked up her ring. Video link below. It was my honor to recover and return this ring on their 20th anniversary. Congratulations Tanner and Breanna.

Received a text last night asking for help to find an engagement ring lost in their backyard. We planned on me being there at 9:30 am.

Lost Smart Ring Found in Royal Oak Michigan

Contact:

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?
