I was sent a google map location at Bolsa Chica Beach via text to search for a tungsten ring. These are more difficult when the person can’t meet you in person.
I sent pictures to verify which fire pit he was at. I circled the fire pit and on the 5th time around I found his ring. Drive to Long Beach to drop off his ring but forgot to take a picture of him with the ring.
A Lost Engagement Ring at Somers Point Turns Into a Miracle Recovery
What started as a beautiful family beach day quickly turned into panic when I realized I had lost my engagement ring at Somers Point Bay Beach in Somers Point, New Jersey.
This beach means a lot to me. My grandmother had a camper at Colonial Meadows Campground, and we spent every summer here. I brought my toddler and 3-month-old daughter to the same spot, hoping to recreate those special memories. Unfortunately, I never imagined I’d end the day searching for a priceless piece of my past — my engagement ring.
While applying sunscreen, I removed both my engagement ring and wedding band and placed them in the cup holder of our wagon. At some point, the rings fell into the sand. About 40 minutes later, while feeding my baby, I looked down and realized they were gone.
Panic hit me like a wave.
I found my wedding band buried in the sand, but my engagement ring was missing. Two kind moms saw me searching and jumped in to help. Despite our efforts, the ring was nowhere to be found.
Then someone mentioned calling a professional ring finder.
Enter John from Ring Finders South Jersey. I called him, not expecting much — but to my surprise, he answered right away. Though I couldn’t meet him at the beach (I was already home making dinner), I texted him photos of the exact area we were in.
He confidently said he’d search that evening.
And he did. Not only did John find my engagement ring in the sand — but he also drove it to my house and personally returned it. I was shocked, overwhelmed with emotion, and so incredibly thankful.
John’s kindness, dedication, and skill are something I’ll never forget. He turned a nightmare into a miracle. If you’ve lost jewelry at the beach, in the yard, or anywhere in between, don’t wait — call the ring finder in South Jersey.
These professionals use specialized metal detecting equipment and years of expertise to recover lost rings, necklaces, keys, and more. And in my case? They return something that’s truly priceless.

Friend’s bachelorette weekend in Brigantine, NJ and all you want to do is get a good tan in. On day two of beautiful weather, drinking rosé, eating Wawa sandwiches, and laughing about life, we suddenly see our bride jump up and say she can’t find her ring. We all immediately run over and are on our knees digging through the sand. The sun is shining on us, some tears were shed, texts to each other’s significant others is in full swing and we decide to give the bride some space. Some took turns talking to the bride, random civilians pulled out their metal detectors or sifted through trash, others comforted from afar, and one friend decided to draw a ring on the sand. We felt helpless. Once John appeared, it was so simple. He found her ring in under 5 minutes and we all ran to her once she confirmed she had it. If you are ever in this terrible position, please call John. Thank You!!!

Despite searching, he couldn’t locate it, so he gave me a call. I spoke to Cole, getting a sense of the general area he’d been in, and began the search with my metal detector.

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!

I received a message on my phone from Caroline asking if I could help find an engagement ring that had been lost earlier in the morning. I returned her call with enthusiasm saying I was on my way forgetting it was the Fourth of July. Traffic was brutal but I made it in good time. We all quickly introduced ourselves and George her husband to be, proceeded to tell me how it was lost. He was proposing on one knee and when he opened the ring box that had a locking latch the ring was gone. I asked all the questions leading up to where he seen it last. Luckily he remembered it was in his pocket. So I think that when he pulled the box out of his pants he also brought the ring up with it and lost it in the sand.
They went and bought a detector but couldn’t find it after an hour or so.
I had Caroline stand where she thought it could be and George where he was kneeling. Julia there professional photographer was with us while I searched, she was documenting every step.
I started to grid the area, first pass two old bullets, second pass a piece of aluminum, third pass 20 feet away from where it was thought to be I got it. A beautiful Platinum 1.2 karat Diamond engagement ring.
After a few minutes of hooting and hollering. George redeemed himself and got down on his knee a proposed. Caroline said yes. It’s very rewarding to be able to be a small part of their special day. Congratulations to you Caroline and George. A special thank you to Julian for helping them document it. Sincerely Leighton
July 4, 2025, Ambar a lifelong Rhode Islander never takes her jewelry off at the beach. While playing football with her sons at the water’s edge got hit by a wave that washed her diamond gold wedding and engagement rings off her fingers and disappeared into the ocean. she reached out to a friend of mine Gary who is a local ring finder but was on vacation and he recommended me. We often work as a team and cover and help each other as needed. She called me that night and I was there at 6am before the holiday beach crowds started arriving at the beach. She met me there with her brother-in-law and we walked to the spot on the beach where they had been playing. Considering there was a pretty bad storm that suddenly passed through the area over night I started a gridded search of the area and immediately got a great signal at the water’s edge just as the tide was coming in. I scooped up the target and brought it up to her and with the aid of my pin pointer I saw the glint of gold and diamonds in the sand and handed her the engagement ring. One found was a very good sign, I knew the other had to be close to the first one. The incoming tides and wave action was making things a bit more difficult. I was getting a lot of interference and false signals. After calibrating my machine, I got a weaker but still a solid target signal. I scooped up signal and laid it down next to her. A few seconds later using the pin pointer a diamond wedding band was now popping out of the sand. It took only about ten minutes to get both rings back on her fingers. It actually took me an hour to get there but it was worth every minute to see how happy I made her feel. Her brother-in-law was stunned and could not believe I was able to recover them. He then took my phone and started taking pictures of the happy occasion. As we were leaving, she excitedly was telling all the incoming beach goers waiting in long lines of our success. I called Gary to thank him for the referral and together as a team we brought the rings back home. Thanks to St Anthony and praise God we were successful. Miracles do happen and have faith and never give up hope. we see miracles every day.

The call came in, laced with the kind of frantic desperation only a lost engagement ring can inspire. A gentleman on vacation in a beachfront hotel had a big problem. The night before, a heated argument, fueled by alcohol, led to his fiancée doing the unthinkable: tossing her diamond engagement ring from their fifth-floor balcony. They’d scoured the area for hours, both that night and the next morning, but the ring was nowhere to be found. The kicker? The balcony didn’t face the soft sands of the beach, but the unforgiving asphalt of the street below.
I told him I’d be there in minutes. When I arrived at the hotel, the couple, visibly distraught, led me to the fateful balcony. Their access to the room was gone, but I had an idea. I approached the hotel manager, explained the bizarre situation, and, much to my relief, she graciously allowed us a few minutes back in the room. My plan? Have the fiancée toss a few coins off the balcony. It’s a trick that helps me gauge the trajectory and spread of a thrown object, giving me a better search pattern. A few coins later – and, yes, a few unfortunate « dings » on passing cars – I had a better sense of where to focus.
My initial sweep of the planter boxes directly beneath the balcony yielded nothing. They’d already combed the street for hours, they told me, with no success. But I knew the ring had to be there. I extended my search into the street itself, methodically sweeping my detector.
Then, the sweet, unmistakable signal. There, amidst the grit and grime of the road, lay the diamond engagement ring. It was a testament to its journey; the band was broken, likely from being run over by several cars, but the diamond itself, the precious heart of the ring, was still miraculously intact.
Handing it back to him, I could see the immense relief wash over his face. He was, without a doubt, more elated to have that ring back in his possession than she was in that moment. Another day, another lost treasure found, and another couple breathing a sigh of relief, all thanks to a little patience and a lot of metal detecting know-how.
