Lost a ring? Dont wait, Call NOW! 608-780-4525
Received a call from Amber. Amber explained that her husband lost his wedding ring while playing in the surf and getting “rolled” by a wave. Amber said she had someone else out to look for it and he could not locate the ring. After gathering details and checking tide and surf data I decided that Tuesday afternoons low tide would be a good time to try for the ring. Shortly after arriving at the beach I began a “meticulous” search grid from the wet sand down into the surf. About 45 minutes later I had the ring in my scoop. The waves were pretty rough and I myself got “washed” a few times but still managed a successful recovery. Another happy couple!
See Ambers review below:
“Sunday afternoon my husband was boogie boarding with our son in Cape May. My husband has recently lost some weight and therefore his ring was a little loose. A wave knocked my husband off balance, and a secondary wave wiped him out, losing his ring in the tide.
I called one service and they were unable to locate the ring right after it happened.
I was in contact with Jeff as well, who was busy the day of, but said he would search in days to come.
Tuesday afternoon came, and he had found it!
I will forever be grateful! he took an hour out of his day and was able to find it right where my husband knew it came off, the other guys must have passed right over it! I highly recommend to call Jeff if you lose anything!

Lost a ring? Dont Wait, Call NOW! 609-780-4525
Last evening I received a text message from Meg around 10:30pm. Meg explained that she is staying at Angel Of The Sea B&B here in Cape May. She was sitting on the 3rd floor balcony, taking in the evening with her husband when her wedding ring slipped off her finger and rolled off the porch falling into the flower beds / shrubbery below. Meg said that she had been searching with her husband for a while and would really appreciate some assistance. I took the short ride over from home and met up with the couple. After searching for about 20 minutes I was able to recover her ring at the base of some bushes beneath the porch. Meg and her husband were very relieved to have the ring back! Another happy couple!

Sentimental, White Gold Diamond Stud Earring Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

Daniel found me in The Ring Finders directory after losing a very sentimental white gold, diamond stud earring while playing beach volleyball in Philadelphia, PA. The pair of earrings were given to him years before by his parents. Anyone who has been around metal detecting for a while, especially us Ring Finders,  knows that finding stud earrings with any metal detector can be a challenge…and honestly this search put all my skills to the test. Diamond stud earrings are just so small and have such little metal on them they are hard to pick up with any machine. I met Daniel and brought 2 of my 4 machines…I brought the new highly advanced Minelab Manticore with a 15 inch coil and my Minelab Equinox 800 with the 6 inch coil. The nice thing is that Daniel had an identical earring still in his possession so I could scan it and see if either of my machines would pick it up.  I placed the earring on the ground and tried scanning it with the Manticore…NOTHING! Couldn’t get a peep with sensitivity all the way up in any mode! Then tried the Equinox not a peep in my usual modes…field or park. Then i switched the Equinox to gold prospecting mode and bam….was able to get it pretty good….VDI 1-2 up to 4-5 inches away from the coil. I started  scanning the beach volleyball court…in  short order i actually found 2 other earring backs…neither from Daniel’s earring…but at least I had the machine settings right. I probably dug 15-20 tiny bits of tin foil…amazing how sensitive the machine was behaving. I was at it for 55 minutes and committed to Daniel I would search for an hour. I stopped and asked him one more time where he was standing when a ball hit his ear and knocked the earring out….I would use the last 5 minutes in that area. With 60 seconds to spare I’m going to dig this one last signal …..BOOM….There was his beautiful diamond earring…in all my years I don’t think i whooped and hollered as I did right then! I was so happy to be successful and be able to get Daniel’s precious earring back in his possession!!!

Lost Gold & Diamond Ring & Cellphone, Found! Ocean City, New Jersey By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Received a call from Andrew Monday evening. Andrew explained that he and his family had quite an adventure unfold Sunday afternoon. While Andrew, his brother, and dad (Jack) were at their boat slip, Jack knocked his sons cell phone into the water. Jack jumped in and dove down to retrieve the phone and when he came back up he struck his head on the prop of his boat, this required a trip to the ER to have the wound stapled closed. During the ordeal Jack also lost his wedding ring of over 35 years! Made plans to meet up with Andrew at low tide yesterday. After moving a floating dock over, to work off of, I managed to recover both the phone and ring. Jack was elated to have his ring back! and sons phone too (which was still on and working) lol……. Another happy family!
See Jacks Testimonial Below:
“This past Sunday was a day that I would like to soon forget!
I have a small condo and boat slip at Harbor House Condos in Ocean City. While cleaning my boat I knocked my son’s phone into the bay. I did not know what else to do so I tried diving down to find his phone. little did I know that while doing this my wedding ring fell off. To make matters worse, I hit my head on the motor causing a 3 inch gash which needed 8 staples to close the wound. I can honestly say that the pain in my head was not nearly as bad as the pain I felt losing my wedding ring that I wore for 35 years. At this point after several failed attempts and a head injury, I knew this was a job for a someone that knows what they are doing which was not me. Not knowing where to turn, my son and daughter-in-law called the Ocean City Police and they recommended Jeffery Laag from Lost Ring & Jewelry Recovery Service. Jeff answered the phone and let them know very confidently, that he could find the ring and the phone. He showed up to the location the next day and within 30 minutes found both.
I cannot say enough about this service. Without Jeff I would not have my ring back! If I were to rate his service, I would without a doubt give him a 5 out of 5 stars.”

Campground Beach, MA Lost / Found / Returning of Wedding Band

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 25, 2025

With sunshine and high temperatures the desire to “Go to the Beach” to cool off is a prime cause for more rings to be “lost” and the need for a member of TheRingFinders.com to find the lost ring.

Jon found himself in just that situation on the 24th. As the tide was rising he and Kaden, his son, dug a hole on the sand bar. Then today Jon called for help. Within 2 hours I was ready for another search. I arrived an hour early due to the lack of beach traffic. Jon had left the beach to run an errand, leaving Kaden to show me the hole. I was glad to have a guide, otherwise I might still be looking for the correct area to search. At the hole which was the point were the loss was to have occurred. I started to drag my scoop to line a box in the sand. I had gone about 15 to 20 steps before getting a signal. One shallow scoop and I had the wayward ring. Now all I had to do was wait for Jon’s return.

When Jon showed up I went to shake his hand. He felt the ring and could not believe I had found it and he quickly put it back on were it belonged and gave me a big hug.

Lesson learned: Always leave a good, lasting impression. In this case there were two, the hole in the sand and a big hug.

Private Beach in Brewster, MA – Platinum/Diamond Wedding Band Lost, Found, Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 25, 2025

When you believe you are doing everything correctly, something has to go wrong. Mary Rose found out the hard way at the beginning of her vacation on Cape Cod. It happened on the beach and started with Mary Rose putting her two rings into a plastic bag for safe keeping. Well, safe until she went to put them back on. Instead of two rings on her finger, she had only one. The other, a platinum ring with 8 diamonds, her mother’s wedding band, could not be found in the sand where it fell.

In the hours that followed, her husband made a mad rush to purchase a metal detector. It was the best tool for the job. But with most tools the detector has a learning curve for one to be successful with its use. With a bit more practice and a better sand scoop I believe the ring would have been found. As easy as it looks, it takes many hours of a metals detectors’ use to be able to use it proficiently with the ability to identify a target as good or trash. Then one also needs the correct accessory to retrieve the target.

The family put a few hours into searching and even using kitchen strainer to sift the fine, dry sand. After the hours with no success, an internet search for help ended on TheRingFinders.com website and my contact information. Within three hours I was on the beach and searching. A small area, knowledge of what my detector was telling me, and a beach scoop, the ring was located and pulled from the sand in less than 2 minutes. Another few seconds passed and Mary Rose had the sentimental ring back on her finger and a smile on her face.

Before leaving I spend some time in explaining my equipment and a few suggestions for son, Will, on how to use his new detector to become a more proficient metal detectorists. The most important suggestion was DO NOT to bury his grandmother’s ring in his practice of using a detector.

Lost a ring or valuable? Dont wait, Call NOW! 609-780-4525
Received a call from Steve this afternoon. Steve explained that his wedding band had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Took the short, 10 minute ride over to Philadelphia Ave beach and met up with Steve. Once he directed me to the general area I was able to recover his ring on the first pass. Took longer to walk down onto the beach then it did to find the ring, lol. Once recovered, Steve placed the ring on his middle finger and I dont think its coming off of that one anytime soon. Another happy client!

BMW FOB Lost in the Sand – Bank Street Beach Harwich, MA Found and returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 22, 2025

The warm temperatures and bright sunshine had brought quite a crowd to Cape Cod’s beautiful beaches. One such fun seeker was Charlie who hails from England and drove his mother’s car to the beach. It was a wonderful experience, soft sand, good friends all enjoying the day…until it was time to leave. A frantic search started for the missing car fob, without it there was no way home.

The search for the fob failed and an internet search for a metal detectorist that could help. TheRingFinders.com showed up on the search results and Luke was the closest. Luke had another commitment and reached out to me. As luck would have it, I had just returned home from returning a lost/found wedding band and I could leave immediately.

The short story is I met Charlie and his friends in the parking lot, walked to the area where he had spent the afternoon. The area marked out for me was relatively small and in less than five minutes the fob was in my scoop, we were heading back to the parking lot and then onto home. The next day was to be even better weather wise and of course, to find a more secure place to put the car fob while on the sands of Cape Cod.

Lost Ring Found and Returned Seagull Beach Yarmouth, MA

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 22, 2025

Nick and family were enjoying the sandy beach and the start of a heat wave on sunny Cape Cod when Nick had the need to wash his hands. A quick run to the water’s edge and a few swishes in the water left his hand clean, smooth and without his wedding band. The surf was churning the seashells in a motion that washed his ring and shells together. Nick lost sight of the ring and all the searching did not reveal its location. A sleepless night followed and the morning’s question was: What to do now?

A suggestion to rent a metal detector, a Google search for a dealer revealed the name and phone number for J&E Enterprise. The call from Cassandra was answered by Eleanor, the owner, who strongly suggested that she call a RingFinder – Richard as he would be their best way to recover the ring.

A half an hour after the call came in, I was on the beach ready for the recovery. I was assured that the ring was lost right where the sea shells covered a strip of sand. After searching the suggested area I realized the ring was lost at low tide, not at the high tide line where the day’s shell line lay. The tide would have been lower so I moved my search to the low tide line of shells. My first two signals were too deep, the third was a target I had to dig. Yes, it was in my scoop. I left it in the scoop and Cassandra was brave enough to move the shells in the scoop and retrieve Nick’s wedding band.

I believe I saw tears of joy and great emotions as Cassandra placed the ring back on Nick’s finger. I just love my hobby at moments like that! Then I was told of another loss of 2 rings, I found out that the loss happened four years ago. Well, on a public beach, I had to agree that the rings were long gone. That is why time if of the essence to start searching for a lost item. I left leaving a suggestion, should another “loss” occur. That was to drop a few coins, pull tabs, anything metal in the area the “loss” happened. That would make the search for the correct area be easier to located a day or so later.

The only thing left was to wish everyone, the best and to enjoy the remaining time on vacation, leave the jewelry at home or wear a silicone ring as a “Keeper” so a sentimental ring will not slip off one’s finger.
