Fairfield CT Jennings Beach Water recovery July 15, 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Lou and his family were at Jennings beach in Fairfield and enjoying a day in the water when suddenly while playing tag in three feet of water he noticed his wedding ring had fallen off. In a frantic effort to find it he put on his sons swim goggle and search the murky waters. He had resolved himself to the fact that the ocean had concealed it and he might have to purchase a new ring. His wife decided to put a post in social media if anyone found a ring at Jennings to let them know. One name popped into the post and said get Wayne Aguiar. A person that follows me knew I had been successful kin previous returns and thought i might be able to help. Lou found my contact information online and gave me a call late in the day. I promised I would go that night and take advantage of the tides. When I arrived a bad thunderstorm was passing through the area and the water was unsafe. I called off the search for safety’s sake and came the next morning before the beach officially opened. Lou met me there and pointed out the general area that he last remembered the ring while playing tag with his kids. It took a couple of hours and dumping buckets of trash before a I had a good signal. I dug out the signal which was around 6 inches and dumped out the scoop onto the beach. The ring miraculously rolled out of the scoop and Lou jumped down and placed it on his finger exclaiming to everyone around I had found his ring. we celebrated with selfies and again I gave Lou a St Anthony medal as a keep sake for his family. The next day Lou was very happy and in shock and disbelief I was able to find it. He contacted the Channel 12 news station and submitted pictures and selfies that we had taken after the recovery. The news station liked the pictures and the story and decided to have a televised interview. I was on another ring recovery in RI so I zoomed into the interview and shared our stories.

Old Lyme , CT Platinum Diamond Ring July 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)
Contact:

Old Lyme CT, July 27. What started as a Christmas in July celebration at the beach with over 150 guest became a frantic search for a lost platinum diamond ring. Kristina the coordinator of the event was playing with the children handing out gifts and dancing with them under a huge tent. Line dancing around all the tables and tlo the gift distribution area. After stopping at her table she noted that two of her three rings were almost falling off her finger and the large diamond ring was missing. In a frantic search the crowd started searching the area kicking sand , kids digging into the sand and even a child’s detector was employed. Quick action by Alison reached out to me from social media and gave me the situation. In about 30 minutes I was onsite and assessing the situation. The area was trampled and it became clear there was no clear idea of where it could have been lost. I started but using a standard coil covering and gridding the area closest to where she noticed it had been missing. The tables and chairs were moved when possible to allow better access and everyone was supportive. I started by giving Kristina who said she was catholic and seeking help a St Anthony medal to pray for her lost items and many of the guests started doing the same. At one pint everyone left the area to go to sleep and I remained but changed my strategy and used a smaller sniper coil to better get between the tables. After about a half hour a weak but repeatedly signal in the range of  platinum was identified. The soft sand was pinpointed and at a depth of 6-7 inches a solid ping was detected, sifting the sand with my fingers I felt the band of the ring and a glitter of platinum ion the sand and brought it to the surface.  Some passing relatives contacted her and she jumped into a golf cart and came straight to the tent where her ring awaited her. We had several precious and emotional minutes where she came to terms it had been found and that her and the other peoples prayers to St Anthony were heard. A miracle had just been witnessed.

I was contacted by Jennifer after being tagged multiple times on a social media post. Jennifer explained that her husband had taken a surfing lesson on his birthday on Queen St beach in Cape May. During the lesson, his necklace broke and he lost his late daughters memoriam charms in the surf. I chatted back and forth with Jennifer and gathered some specific details. Took a ride over and checked at low tide this morning around 6:30am. After about an hour of searching the surf I was able to recover the charms and reunite them with Phil and Jennifer. Another happy couple!

I received a message from Ken the other day. He explained that his wife was sitting with their daughter just at the edge of the water on the beach in Wildwood Crest . The pair were chatting about his wife, Shelly’s, ring which she had just had repaired and had taken it off to show to her daughter. While doing so, a larger wave rushed in and startled the pair causing the ring to be flung behind them towards the upper beach as they were facing the water when it happened. The ring landed in the shallow water and disappeared. Shelly was devastated, and the family searched for hours trying to locate the ring. Luckily, Ken, Shelly’s husband, did an excellent job noting the approximate location and took note of the time as the tide was moving in. We discussed the event a bit and decided to wait until the tide was heading back out so the water would be at a reasonable depth. I met the couple on the beach at just about dark around 9pm and began searching. About 15 minutes later I heard the signal I was searching for, 1 scoop later the ring was back on Shelly’s finger. She was elated to say the least! The couple informed me that Ken had proposed to Shelly over 40 years prior just a few blocks down beach. Another relieved & happy couple!
Kens and Shelly’s review of service:
“Jeffrey came at dusk walked into the ocean and went to work finding my wife’s engagement ring. 10 min later he saved our vacation and I can’t thank him enough. Thank you!”

Bracelet lost in Sand at Will Rogers Star Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

If you lose something important, please call right away, because time and other variables will work against a successful recovery. Steve Smith: 310-953-5268.

Gabriella called, having lost a bracelet that meant a lot to her, in the sand at the beach earlier that day. It was getting late, so I decided to go quickly in order to get parking because the beach closes when the sun goes down.

Gabriella was not able to be there to show me the spot, but gave me enough information to put me in the area of the loss. When I got there I sent her a picture, and we were able to narrow the search area even more. I searched for about 15 minutes before I found the bracelet. It looked like someone might have stepped on it because it had been bent out of shape, but with no damage of any kind. We arranged to meet the next day for the return, and that is when she explained that the bracelet was given to her by her partner on their trip to Japan, and had a very deep sentimental meaning for her.

I was tagged by several folks in a post on Cape May Live. The poster was asking for people to keep an eye out for her husband’s gold ring that slipped off in the surf. I messaged the couple and we chatted back and forth about what exactly happened and where. She was able to outline the specific area and time of day that the loss occurred. Timing wise, I felt that the best chances would be during the low tide cycle the following morning. I took the 5 minute ride for home yesterday morning and began searching. After about 1 hour or so I got the signal I was searching for and out popped the ring from thigh deep surf. The couple confirmed the inscribed date and picked up the ring yesterday afternoon. They both thought the ring was “gone forever” after 27 years of marriage. Another happy couple!
The Verners review of service:
“Jeff Laag is truly amazing! I don’t know how he did it, but he found my husband’s wedding band that was lost in knee deep water at the cape may beach. Don’t hesitate to look him up to find your lost jewelry!”

I received a message from Genevieve Sunday afternoon explaining that she had lost her wedding ring in the sand while at the beach with her family. She had placed her ring in the cupholder of her beach chair to apply sunscreen. Later, her husband folded and relocated their belongings as the tide was moving. He had no idea that his wifes ring was in the chair when he folded the chair and once folded the ring disappeared into the sand. After the couple realized what had happened they began frantically searching for the ring. Other beach goers saw them searching and pitched in to search as well, even one of the lifeguards lent a hand! After a while, the group came up empty handed. Thats when Genevieve reached out for help. Usually I dont travel to Brigantine on Sundays as Northbound traffic can be horrendous but I could tell that Genevieve was upset and really needed some help. I took the ride up and met with the couple on 31st street beach. After a brief discussion I began searching the areas outlined by her husband. About 45 minutes later I had her ring in the scoop. Genevieve explained that the ring was so special as it contained diamonds from her grandmothers wedding ring and was very special to the couple! The entire beach was thrilled to see the ring! Another happy couple!
Genevieves review of service:
“Your service was wonderful: you were calm, professional and reassuring. Of course, you found my ring. So the service speaks for itself – but your customer service was really perfection !”

Lost Wedding Ring In The Ocean Found And Returned – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Crystal Coast Ring Finders – Emerald Isle, NC

Victor called me on a recommendation.  He stated he lost his wedding band of 3 years while enjoying the ocean.  I made plans to hunt before the next low tide (12:15 a.m.) and that was very late so I said there may be a chance it’s on the beach so I began searching just after 10:30.

Victor and his friends and family had gathered above the location and they knew just where Victor’s custom made gold band was lost.

I started my grid search well above the current tide and progressed down to the waves rolling onto the beach.  Just as I my boots were getting wet and the grid lines in the sand were being washed away, I hit a very strong signal.  Being that the ring was large, my detector screen displayed the high end of what a gold ring would signal.  One scoop into the sand and the following wave cleared out the sand.  I peaked inside and saw that beautiful golden circle!  I walked up to the group who had phones and lights running and let the ring roll out of the sand scoop in front of them.  It was a great feeling watching them celebrate the recovery!
