Lost Wedding Ring Monroe Soccer Field NJ… Found!!

đź’Ť Wedding Ring Recovered in Monroe, NJ! đź’Ť – Thank you to both John Favano & Ed Trapper for sending this one my way!!
At his child’s soccer practice in Monroe, a man was coaching from the center of the field while playing with his wedding ring—which was a little loose. At some point, the ring slipped off and disappeared into the grass.
Parents, kids, and even a metal detector were brought in to help, but after an extensive search, the ring remained lost.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. We arrived just as the sun was setting and quickly gridded the field to make the most of the remaining daylight. After about 20 minutes, the detector gave off a perfect signal—and sure enough, the missing wedding ring was back in hand.
💡 Pro Tip: Be careful with rings that don’t fit well—they can easily slip off and get lost. If you can, get your ring resized. Remember: if it’s loose in the summer, it will be even looser in the winter.
Another successful recovery and another happy family!

đź’Ť Backyard Ring Recovery Success! đź’Ť
Sometimes the smallest moments can cause the biggest panic. A man was tossing items off his patio onto the lawn when he suddenly noticed his ring was missing. The whole family joined the search—scanning the yard until their eyes grew fuzzy. They even broke out the kids’ metal detectors, but the ring was nowhere to be found.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. After about 20 minutes of searching, we were able to locate the missing wedding ring and reunite it with its owner.
🔍 Pro Tip: Some precious metals can be tricky to detect. Many of the kids’ metal detectors you find on Amazon simply aren’t powerful enough to pick them up. If you’re looking for a solid option for younger hobbyists that can find them, we recommend the Nokta Midi Hoard.
Another happy ending thanks to persistence, patience, and the right equipment.

Lost Ring Ideal Beach NJ… Found!!

đź’Ť Sentimental Ring Recovered at Ideal Beach đź’Ť – Shout out to Ed Trapper for the lead!!
A young man was enjoying a game of football with friends at Ideal Beach in NJ when he slipped his ring into his pocket while playing quarterback. Later, when he went to put it back on, it was gone.
By the time Greenwood Detecting arrived, the beach was completely dark. With flashlights in hand, we began the search. After careful hunting, we recovered the missing ring—one with incredible sentimental value.
This was no ordinary ring. It had been smelted from the gold of his late grandfather’s jewelry and crafted into two rings—one for him and one for his brother. Being able to return such a meaningful piece was an honor and a reminder of why we do what we do.
🔦 Pro Tip: If you are hunting in the dark, always bring flashlights! They’re essential for seeing the search area clearly and for keeping safe by avoiding objects that could trip you up.
Another successful recovery, even in the dark. 🌙✨

đź’Ť Ring Recovered at Sunrise Lake Beach Club! đź’Ť – Shout out to Ed Trapper for the lead!!
While enjoying a day at Sunrise Lake Beach Club, a man was playing catch in the water when he saw his ring fly off. Despite searching and searching, he couldn’t locate it in the sand below.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. After giving a brief moment of false hope—finding another lost ring in the area—we expanded the search grid and,
before long, recovered the correct ring and returned it to its owner.
⚒️ Pro Tip:
If a lost item isn’t where you expect it, expand your search area. You can grid the spot with horizontal or vertical rows, or spiral outward from the most likely point. Persistence pays off—if the ring is there, you’ll find it!
Another happy recovery at the beach. 🌊

Lost Wedding Ring Swartswood State Park Beach NJ… Found!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
Recently, Greenwood Detecting was called out to Swartswood State Park Beach in NJ after a man realized he had lost his ring while enjoying a day at the water. The ring had slipped off in waist-deep water and was nowhere to be seen.
Despite cloudy skies turning into a complete downpour, we stayed on the hunt—and after careful searching, we were able to successfully recover the ring and return it to its grateful owner!
🌊 Pro Tip: If you’re planning to detect in the water, take the time to master your pinpointing skills. In deeper, darker water, you won’t be able to see the target—so knowing precisely where your coil is in relation to the target is key to making fast and accurate recoveries.
Another successful return, rain or shine!

Lost Gold Medallion Wharton NJ… Found

🌟 Success Story: Lost Medallion Recovered! 🌟
 
At the end of July (yes, we’re behind on posting!), Greenwood Detecting had the privilege of helping a local homeowner recover a precious religious keepsake from his grandfather. While doing yard work, he felt his chain slip off. After searching the grass, he was able to locate one medallion—but the second one remained missing.
 
That’s when Greenwood Detecting stepped in. Within just 15 minutes on site, we were able to locate and recover the lost golden medallion, returning both pieces safely to their owner.
 
🔍 Pro Tip:
When dealing with a lost item, if you still have a matching piece (like the first medallion), we can use it to get a signal “read” on our detectors. This helps us identify exactly what to listen for and narrow down which signals are worth looking into—making the search faster and more accurate.
 
Another successful recovery, and another happy client! 💍✨

Lost Gold Engagement Ring Recovered, Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

9/14/25 Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan (Lake Michigan)

Hannah was enjoying the fantastic mid-September day at a nice little beach, here in SW Michigan. Sun out, 80 degrees, calm East breeze, water still over 70 degrees, excellent for this time of year.
All was well, she nestled her engagement ring in her T-shirt, on her beach towel, so not to risk losing it in the water. However, when it was time to go, she gathered things up, flipped the towel, having forgot about her hidden treasure.
Out flew the two month old ring, into the dry sand, somewhere nearby.
She tried scouring around, looking with no luck. She tested some rocks, dropped on the sand, only to see that they quickly vanish upon landing in the soft sand.
I was at another beach, preparing to go detecting in the water, moments away from heading out, when I heard my phone alert. Opted to check that and it was Hannah asking if I’d be available to hire.
Shifted gears, drove up the coast 15 minutes and headed out on the dry sand to where she thought she had been. With a little help from a nice lady who overheard us talking, she said Hannah had been about 20 feet further North. Within about ten seconds, got a nice signal, deployed the pinpointer and quickly observed a ring show itself for a brief moment. Reached down and had her nice ring, ready to go back where it belonged.

Dennis Port, MA Lost Ring Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

September 11, 2025:
On August 18th Joey and his two little “ducklings” were frolicking around the waters edge when what so often happens, a wedding ring slipped off a finger into the shallow water of Nantucket Sound. Joey, the ducklings and other family members searched for the next two days before heir vacation time came to an end and they had to leave, abandoning their search and the ring in the sand. 3 weeks later Tana, Joey’s mother, came to the Cape for a visit. Over the next two weeks she, other family members and friends continued to search the area in hopes of reuniting the ring with its owner. That was not to be.

Joey’s mother, still had a few extra days before having to leave the Cape. During the time she and several of her friends brought up the subject of the missing ring and one friend offered up the information of TheRingFinders.com. As other suggestions had failed, Tana reached out to me for help.

I was a bit stressed out about my situation of buying and selling a house, and would have to fit in time for a recovery search. A look at the tide chart and I could fit a couple of hours in at 7AM the next morning. All was set until my Realtor and I finished up our afternoon commitments and I could make a search just before the evening tide. It was possible for Tana to meet me a the beach and I was on the way.

With my detector and scoop in hand, Tana and I walked to the area that the ring was lost at. The most likely area of the loss was pointed out to me: lifeguard chair, either side about 10 feet and straight down, into the water and out to no more than knee deep. An hour of searching and not one good signal, Then a solid signal from my detector that did not sound like a gold ring should but I had to dig it anyway. As I thought, it was not a ring but a toy truck. By this time I had widen the area I was searching. The sun had set and in the dark it was difficult to keep a tight grid pattern. It was time to call it quits until the morning’s tide.

Just before leaving the water’s edge I took one more look at the pictures Tana had shown me. There was one picture that showed nice flat sandy area with the two “ducklings” playing on it. I looked to the west into an area I had not searched yet and saw the exact same conditions, it was a bit further west than I had been told where the ring was lost. “One more pass” I told Tana, took two steps and got a signal. “Tana, your son’s ring is right there“… with nothing but wet sand for Tana to look at, I took one scoop of sand turned it over on the dryer sand. A after a couple of passing of Tana’s hand through the mound of sand, it came into view, yes, there was her son’s ring.

Pictures, information and a few metal detecting stories passed away a few more minutes before we parted with a promise to exchange the photos we had taken. One was for me to learn how to turn on my camera’s flash function. And another to have Joey leave his ring in a safe place in the

future when he visits the beach. Unfortunately it would still be a few days before the ring will be returned to Joey. I hope to meet Joey on his next trip to the shores of Cape Cod to get a photo of him with a smile and holding his ring.

Lost Platinum Ring Recovered at Zephyr Cove, Tahoe!

  • from South Lake Tahoe (California, United States)
Contact:

September 14, 2025, 7:03pm : Received a call requesting the recovery of a lost platinum ring at Zephyr Cove Beach. Client lost his ring while in the water and described “ that is where it fell off and got lost, the water was about five feet deep. Ring is silver, smooth with rounded edges and has custom engraving on the inside”. September 15, 2025, 7:45am : Arrived at Zephyr Cove and began donning dive gear. Half hour later began searching the lost area pinned by the client. I don’t think anyone has metal detected that section of the shallow water ever, or at least not recently. Tons of targets—bottle caps, pull-tabs, bobby pins, twist-ties, bits of foil, etc. The ring is platinum (Pt950) so on the Deus 2 should be around a 62 VDI, and of course all the pull-tabs and bottle caps were showing similar. I burned through two Nemo batteries and loaded a third. I was deep into my 4 hour of searching and the cold water was finally getting to me when I got my millionth 62 vdi target, and expected another pull-tab. But that’s the beauty of metal detecting recoveries, just as you think you’ll never find the ring and ready to call it a day, you get the surprise and joy of seeing the ring in your scoop and instantly all the effort and being cold vanishes.
Confirmed the ring was correct with client by sending a photo and specifics of the engraving. 2:52pm is stamped on the USPS receipt, so within 20 hours of being notified, the lost ring is shipped back home.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost in the Sand at Manhattan Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

Steve’s Emergency Metal Detecting Service if you lost a ring or something precious to you. Please don’t wait until tomorrow, time will work against you, PLEASE CALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  310-953-5268

It was around 5:30 PM, and my wife was preparing our dinner when I received a call from Chris. He had Just lost his wedding ring about 30 minutes ago while throwing a football to his friend, and was unable to find it. He was wondering if I would be able to help. I let him know that I could be there in about 30 -40 minutes to do the search so I asked my wife to put the meal on hold, and left for the beach to help Chris.

When I got there it didn’t take long to find them, and Chris’ buddy took me over to show me where the loss occurred. Chris came over to show me exactly what he had done to cause the loss. and I readied my equipment to begin the search. I searched the whole area in a tight grid with no results for his ring. I did find a ring though, and a couple of earrings, some coins and a lot of trash metal. I then worked out of the box, and widened the search area in order to cover any possibility; still no ring. I then told Chris I was going to do a cross grid in order to make sure that maybe the ring was turned in such a way, it wasn’t heard by my detector going in the other direction. After about 5 passes, I received a solid signal, dug and had his ring in the scoop. I brought it over to him to his surprise, and happiness. Sometimes a ring will go into the sand a such an angle that it is indiscernible going in one direction, you have to search at a right angle to the original direction to make the find. Just a little patience and determination is what it takes. It was about 8:00 PM when the recovery was made. So I got on the phone, and asked my wife to heat up our dinner, as I would be home soon. I am glad she is so understanding.

 

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again. I search, Beverly Hills, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, Northridge, Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Seal Beach, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Venice Beach, Zuma Beach, and all parks, yards, gardens, and ponds (to 5 foot depths) in all of Orange County, all of Los Angeles County, Southern California, and Ventura County.
