How to Find a Lost Ring in the Sand: Expert Tips from NJ Ring Finder Edward Trapper
I was at a family barbecue on a holiday weekend when I received a call from Jodi. She was at a private beach club and had lost a cherished family heirloom ring. The ring was deeply sentimental, and she was understandably distressed. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it out that day due to bad thunderstorms rolling through the area—it’s never safe to be on the beach during lightning. The good thing was the location was private and no detectorists would be there.
I asked Jodi to open Google Maps, take an aerial screenshot of the location, and mark the spot where her chairs had been set up when the ring was lost. After she sent it over, I called her back to clarify a few details. We made arrangements for me to arrive first thing the next morning, Jodi also coordinated with the groundskeeper to ensure I’d have access to the beach.
Early the next morning, I arrived and started heading toward the marked location. As I walked, I noticed a large red cone directly in my path. I thought, That cone looks like it might be near the spot. Sure enough, Jodi had placed it right where she thought the ring had fallen—something she’d forgotten to mention!
Within just a couple of minutes of scanning the area, I got a strong, promising signal. I carefully used my sand scoop, sifting through the soft white sand. And there it was—Jodi’s beautiful ring! I took a few pictures of the find since Jodi hadn’t arrived yet.
When Jodi arrived about 20 minutes later, I handed her the ring. She was amazed and overjoyed. As we talked, she shared the story behind the ring: it was custom-made piece, with three birthstones, representing her three daughters, making it irreplaceably sentimental.
Every recovery has its own unique significance, reflecting how much these items mean to their owners. This was another heartfelt recovery to add to the books.

It was a perfect beach day, so John and Pat decided to make the most of it. They packed up their beach gear and headed out early to soak up some rays. John was enjoying the waves when he realized his wedding ring was missing. He looked for quite some time, without any luck, and thats when his wife Pat, decided to make a call to me NJ Ring Finder. With the ring being lost in the waves, it was imperative I head right out, but there were some violent storms surrounding the entire Jersey Shore area. I will do many crazy things to recover items, but will never go to the beach with any lightning in the area. I waited for the storm to pass by and headed out to the spot. I started around mid tide and worked up higher without any luck. As I was looking around I noticed there was another person very close with a metal detector that possibly could have found this ring. By then John had arrived and confirmed I was in the right spot. I showed him the other person, and suggested he scoot over and ask him if he happened to find a ring. I continued searching and just a few seconds later my machine sounded off that sweet low tone of GOLD. Sure enough, Johns ring was in my scoop, so I whistled to get his attention before he had gotten over to the other metal detector person. John was amazed I was able to find his ring, and quickly messaged his wife Pat to tell her the good news. Another fantastic recovery for NJ Ring Finder in 2024 !!!!
