Lost Wedding Band Recovered in Wayne, Pa.

  • from Media (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

When Allen contacted me from Wayne, Pa he was nearly certain that his ring had fallen between his deck boards. He had been taking a phone call and flipping his ring around in his hand when it went tumbling to the ground. He heard it hit the deck.
When I arrived, Allen’s partner was reciting the opening lines to The Lord of the Rings franchise, and after seeing Allen’s beautiful hardwood deck I knew it couldn’t be. This was not your typical 2×6 deck but rather some fine tropical hardwood and the gaps between the boards was a consistent 3/16”. The only way that ring could have fallen through would be a perfect cinematic fall like the one that leads Frodo Baggins to wearing the ring for the first time. I got my detector and decided the start in the flower beds beside the deck and low and behold it was tucked away under a layer of ivy.

You never know what kind of call you’re going to get next in the world of recovery diving and metal detecting.

This week, I had just wrapped up finding a lost engagement ring for a very relieved couple when my phone rang. I answered, and a voice said urgently, « I lost my keys in the bay in Avalon, New Jersey — can you help? »

I was less than 20 minutes away, so I loaded up my gear and hit the road.

When I arrived, the guy explained they’d been kayaking near the public ramp. As they approached the dock, they tipped a bit, and in the shuffle to stabilize, the car keys — including an electronic fob — slipped right out of a pocket and into the bay. The water wasn’t too deep — about waist high — but murky and full of debris, making it nearly impossible to see anything.

We narrowed down the likely drop zone, and I started a systematic grid search using my underwater metal detector. These kinds of recoveries take patience. There are lots of false signals, and the muddy bottom can hide things well. But after about 20 minutes of searching, I got a strong hit — and just like that, the keys were found!

Everyone was thrilled. You could feel the stress melt away. Losing your keys while out on the water can quickly turn into a nightmare — no way to get home, call a tow, and deal with reprogramming everything. But not today.

They were able to unlock their car, start it up, and leave Avalon with all their belongings back in hand.

These moments are why I do this — not just finding things, but restoring peace of mind. Whether it’s a lost ring, phone, or keys, every item tells a story, and I’m proud to help bring those stories to a happy ending.

If you’re ever in need of recovery services in the Avalon, NJ area (or beyond), don’t hesitate to reach out. Quick response and professional recovery can save your day — just like it did for these guys.

Ring lost in SUV found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Rose was sitting in the back seat with her young child sitting in the middle seat, when the child started to get a bit fussy. To help with a little distraction, Rose gave the child one of her rings to hold. Well, that didn’t last long as the ring was dropped and disappeared. Not seeing the exact moment of the drop, a search ensued but, it couldn’t be found. With the prospect of an expensive trip to a repair shop to have the seats removed, Rose tried to tell herself that it didn’t really matter that much. After a couple of months, that ring still was on her mind, so, she searched for an alternative way to maybe recover it. An online search brought her to TRF and my contact info. We discussed the situation over the phone and decided to give my services a try. When I arrived, I got the full story and was shown the vehicle in question. The middle seats didn’t move forward or backward….just the seat back would fold down. With my inspection camera, I could see underneath the seat that there were all sorts of cracks and crevices the ring could have ended up in. After looking around underneath for a while, I tried a different tact. Looking down from the top, I tried to figure out where the ring could possibly have gone down. There weren’t many spaces wide enough for the ring to pass through. One spot by the seat belt where the middle seat met the side seat looked promising, so, down the inspection camera probe went. At the bottom, I got what looked to possibly be the edge of a ring, so, I asked Rose for a more detailed description, and she showed me a photo of the ring she had on her phone. We both looked at the screen on my inspection camera, and while I wiggled the probe around a bit, we got a better look at the object. YES! That’s it! Now the fun part….trying to get it out without having to remove the seat. I had brought with me many tools, and chose to use some « magic fingers » which is a 4 tine fingered grabber mechanics use to retrieve things from tight areas. After a couple of failed tries, I managed to get a good grab on it. Now the tricky part trying to work it up and out without it coming loose from my tool. After a few twists and turns, it was free and back on Rose’s finger. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.

Aggie Ring disappears – Irving, Texas

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

We got a call from a young man who said he was playing Football with a friend, just passing the ball around.  When they finished playing he realized his coveted Aggie Ring was gone.

He jumped on the Internet and found « The Ring Finders » and gave us a call.  We responded immediately and boy was it hot, over 100 degrees.  Ellen and I covered the entire football field and on my next to last pass I saw His Aggie Ring sparkling in the dirt and grass, no detector needed on this one.

I let Ellen know I found it and we went walking towards the young man.  As we got closer I told him we needed to get some water and ask him to hold this and I handed him his Aggie Ring.  I wish you all could have seen his face, it was priceless.  So much fun, I love what we get to do to help people in their time of panic.

Engagement Ring Lost in Beaufort, NC Waters After Friend’s Wedding Celebration Found

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

Jasmine called me early in the morning, explaining she had spent hours searching for a ring lost in the « very muddy, murky part of the water. » She and her fiancé Bella were distraught, fearing it was gone forever. I tried to comfort and reassure her that I could help. The couple was in Beaufort, NC, celebrating a wedding with some friends. After the wedding, they decided to jump into the Beaufort waters for fun.

Later that morning, I learned the ring, that belonged to Bella’s Grandmother, had been lost while swimming near a boat dock, and attempts to find it in the soft, mucky bottom had failed. Concerned about the water’s depth, I asked Jasmine, who said it was 5-6 feet deep but shallower and muddier near the dock. I planned to arrive at noon, timing it with the outgoing tide. Jasmine felt confident the ring came off as she pulled herself out of the water onto the dock, but no one knew where it had ended up.

I began a thorough search, diving into the muddy water with my metal detector. I found no signals near that side of the dock and started wondering if the ring had fallen through the dock boards onto the plastic support floats. Sliding under the dock, I felt around the floats and even used a borrowed phone to photograph areas I couldn’t see or reach—but still no luck. Returning to the water, I doubted the ring could have slipped through the narrow gaps in the boards. We then decided to search the opposite side of the dock.

After just a few steps in knee-deep muck, my headphones picked up a loud signal that even Jasmine heard from the dock. Digging through the black mud, I finally retrieved the ring. Holding it high above my head, I instantly changed the mood of everyone watching joy and relief filled the air!

Despite the beach and weather conditions from offshore hurricane Erin, Morganna and her husband managed to sneak in some beach time enjoying the sand with their children on the beach here in Cape May. Her husband had removed his ring and placed it in the pouch of their beach chair for safe keeping while they played in the sand with their children. After a few hours, and deteriorating weather conditions, the family packed up the crew and headed off the beach forgetting that the ring had been placed in the chair pocket. Shortly after returning to their hotel room the couple realized what had transpired and began checking the chair only to find the ring was gone. They returned to the beach to search with no success. During this time Cape May had experienced extremely rough surf and very high tides due to hurricane Erin. The next morning Morganna reached out and we made arrangements to meet on the beach. Once she led me to the general area where they were set up on the beach I began searching. After about 30 minutes of searching I had her husbands ring in the scoop. Clearly the high tide had washed over it, and given where it was found, had also moved the ring about 25 yards from where the family had been sitting. Another happy couple!
Morgannas review:
“Jeff was amazing! Such a nice guy who is willing to help anyone! Messaged him in the morning, met up with him around 9 and he found my husband’s wedding band within the hour! Despite all the rip tides and tropical storm weather he still found it!!”

Serving ALL of Cape May County, Southern New Jersey

I received a late night text from Lily explaining that she and her girlfriends had spent an afternoon on Sunset Beach off Alexander Ave in Cape May Point. At some point she believed that her mothers class ring, which Lily wore, had slipped out of her shorts pocket while they were on the beach. This occurred about TWO WEEKS prior to her reaching out! We chatted back and forth while I gathered some specifics about their location. Lily wasn’t sure if the ring was even there but I assured her that I would attempt to check the area regardless. The next morning I rode over to Alexander Ave and began checking the area before beach patrons arrived. With only one photograph and a text description of the area I began checking the beach. After about 25 minutes of searching I had her mothers ring in the scoop. Lily had already returned home several weeks prior so he ring was shipped back to her. Another happy client, another successful hunt!
Lily’s review of service:
“Very quick and responsive! Found my mother’s class ring that I had lost two weeks prior. He found it in the sand and sent it to me through the mail since I don’t live locally. Highly recommend!”
