lost wedding band Tag | The Ring Finders

Cedar Lake Cellars Wright City, Missouri

  • from St. Louis (Missouri, United States)
Contact:

I was attending the Night Lights Lantern Festival at Cedar Lake Cellars in Wright City, Missouri in October 2025. There were about 1000 people there and we were in a very large grassy field. Because the weather was a little colder, the ring had slipped off my finger somewhere near where we were sitting that evening. Luckily, I took a few photos and was able to determine the exact GPS coordinates from apples map function from the photo. I was able to get permission from the winery personnel to search the property and sure enough you found the ring within 10 feet of where the GPS coordinates from the photo indicated. I was shocked and very very excited. that ring had been there all winter and spring and now it’s back in my possession. The ring was very special to me and still is and now it has more of a story. I can’t begin to thank you enough.

Received a text from a young man in trouble.  Seems he was playing volleyball while wearing his wedding ring and it came up missing after the game.  The best kind of hunt, a limited area without trash.  Found the ring in about 5 minutes.

Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Jim reached out to me after finding me in the Ring Finders directory. He was saddened and upset to notice his 37 year old wedding band had disappeared off his finger…when, where and how it disappeared was a mystery to him. The only thing he could think of was that it fell off while he was doing some yard work (taking his gloves on and off) in his backyard in Wilmington, DE several days earlier. He figured it was long shot and had little confidence it would be found but decided to give a professional a shot. He also spent several hours searching himself on his hands and knees. I arrived at his home that Sunday afternoon…as I always do…I demonstrated with my metal detector and my own wedding band what a gold band would sound like if I went over it. I want my clients to know that if they put me over the missing ring…I wont miss it! Jim showed me the area he was working…it was part backyard lawn and part woods…not a large search area. I was 10 minutes into the search and had covered 90% of the yard when…BOOM…there was the signal I was hoping for in the deep grass. I looked down and I could see the ring in the deep grass…I asked Jim who was standing nearby…if I could ask him another question…when he came over I pointed down and asked « is that your ring? » The relief and joy on his face was priceless!!!

Lost Ring Recovered in the Ocean in Wildwood, NJ After Football Toss Ends in Panic

A fun day in the ocean at Wildwood, NJ quickly turned stressful when a local beachgoer lost his ring while throwing a football in the surf.

The conditions were perfect for enjoying the beach. Friends and family were spending time in the water, tossing a football back and forth in the waves. During one throw, he felt something unusual on his hand. Moments later, he realized his ring had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the ocean.

Anyone who has ever lost jewelry in the surf knows how quickly panic can set in. Waves constantly shift the sand, visibility is poor, and the search area grows larger with every passing minute.

After spending considerable time searching on his own without success, he decided to call me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey.

When I received the call, I asked several important questions to help narrow down the search area. Determining the direction of the waves, water depth, and the exact activity taking place at the time of the loss can dramatically improve recovery success rates.

Once I arrived in Wildwood, I entered the water and began a systematic metal detecting search. Ocean recoveries require patience, experience, and specialized equipment designed to locate precious metals beneath wet sand and moving water.

After approximately 20 minutes of searching, I received a strong signal beneath the sand. Using my recovery scoop, I carefully dug the target and immediately spotted the missing ring.

The look of relief and excitement on the owner’s face made the entire search worthwhile. What seemed lost forever beneath the Atlantic Ocean was safely back where it belonged.

If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, bracelet, watch, or other valuable item on the beach, in the water, or in the sand, immediate action can significantly improve recovery chances.

Ring Finders South Jersey specializes in lost ring recovery in Wildwood, NJ, and throughout the South Jersey shore communities.

Don’t give up hope. Many items that seem impossible to recover are successfully found every season.

Contact John Favano at RingFindersSouthJersey.com for professional metal detecting recovery services throughout Wildwood, North Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, and the Jersey Shore.

Lost men’s wedding band, FOUND! North Wildwood, NJ By Ring Finders Cape May, Jeffrey Laag

Lost a ring? Dont Wait, Call NOW!

Received a message from Joe this past Tuesday evening. Joe explained that last Sunday he was at the beach on 7th street in North Wildwood with family. At some point, while on the beach, his wedding band fell off. Joe didnt realize this until he was on his way home on Rt55 near Elmer NJ. After gathering some details from Joe and checking the forecast and tide tables I figured that I would give it a shot the next morning at low tide. I took the short ride over from home and after about 25 minutes of searching, I swung my coil over a really clean solid signal. One scoop later I had Joes ring in my scoop! I texted Joe a picture and to his disbelief it was, in fact, his ring! Joe and his family came by today and picked up his ring. He informed me that he lost the ring the day before his 8th anniversary. Another successful recovery, another happy couple! See the very nice note they wrote in the pics.

Pine Knoll Shores- Boat Captain Loses Watch Overboard. Found And Returned

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

 

Watch snags and breaks during fall from boat.
Pine Knoll Shores, NC
Mark said he was walking along the port side of his boat when the part he was holding came loose, sending him into the murky water by the dock. On the way down, his watch caught on something and was ripped from his arm, injuring him. Mark called me, and I got there as quickly as I could. The water smelled unpleasant, and the bottom was soft. I didn’t realize the watch had broken into two pieces. My first strong signal underwater was part of the watchband, then a stainless bolt, and a couple of feet away, the rest of Mark’s Tag Heuer watch.

LOST GOLD WEDDING RING IN CHARLOTTE, NC…..FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:


I received a call last night from this gentleman stating he had just lost his ring. We agreed to meet up the next morning so we had more time and sunlight. He continued saying he bought a metal detector and was getting lots of signals. He took the machine back last night after we talked.

I arrived around 8:30 and found the gold ring by 9:30. He thought he lost it about 50 yards back so we spent most of the time searching where he thought he lost it. After I wasn’t finding it, I started working my way further down and finally got a good double tap single I was hoping for!

He was so exited! Another happy story! Love recovering rings for people!!!

Rose gold wedding ring recovered in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)
Contact:


This gentleman lost his beautiful rose gold wedding band while walking to his car at night. He felt it fall off but did not see where it went and with all the snow it had made it difficult. After a couple of hours searching he found me on Ring Finders. It was late but reassured him we’d be there in the morning before all the busy traffic started in that area. He explained what had happened, walking on a sidewalk in a busy area full of restaurants. We got so lucky that there was an open space in the street parking area close to where he lost it. I quickly had him stand in that area assuring no car would park there while I searched. I quickly found his ring up along the curb embedded in snow. Looks like cars were pushing it and compacting the snow against the curb. Happy tears as he was just recently married. This is what I enjoy about metal detecting.

LOST RING FOUND SCUBA – WHITEWATER LAKE, WHITEWATER, WI

  • from Carmel (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Whitewater, Wisconsin, resident Robert was launching his kayak on Lake Whitewater when he slipped on the precarious seawall boulders and fell into the lake. Shortly after, he checked his hand, and his heart sank as he noticed his wedding ring was missing.

Each successive summer, he and the kids would dive down and visually scan the area with goggles and flashlights in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of the missing ring. Three years later, I received a call from a different Lake Whitewater resident, Brian, who had contracted me to find a lost watch off his dock. He mentioned that a neighbor of his, Robert, had lost a wedding ring three years earlier and put me in contact with him.

After concluding the search for Brian’s watch, I walked two houses down to Robert’s property. I waded out into the chilly lake and began searching just off the shoreline. The bottom of the lake was rocky with a dense clay layer, which proved difficult to dig through while retrieving signals. After clearing all the promising signals from the area, I figured the ring may have ventured into the seawall from strong waves over the years. I donned my scuba equipment and blindly inspected each crevasse between the boulders. Deep underneath one boulder, I received a strong hit from my handheld metal detecting probe, and Robert’s ring surfaced.

Both Robert and his wife were ecstatic to have the wedding ring back on his finger and to finally bring their summer search expeditions to an end. If you or someone you know has lost a ring on land, in water, or in an area requiring scuba, give me a call. I love reuniting people with what was once thought to be lost forever.

Ring lost in a Poway pond found.

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

Pam and her husband were enjoying a dip in their hot tub spa when Pam realized she was still wearing her prized custom silver ring. Not wanting to let it tarnish in the chlorinated water, she removed it and set it on a towel next to the spa. When her husband got out, he grabbed the towel and the ring went flying somewhere nearby. Possible landing areas were in some of the landscaping on the deck around the spa, or, more likely into the pond just a couple of feet away. The pond is an old swimming pool that had been converted into a fish pond. Lots of plants, fish, reeds, with a mossy/mucky bottom. The closest side is the shallow end, thank goodness, so, no diver needed. They had purchased a metal detector, but, even though they got a few signals, they couldn’t zero in on any particular target. When I got there, we discussed the situation, and I started with a standard 11″ coil and swung down into the most likely area. A little bit of interference with the rebar in the underlying pool bottom, but, with a bit of tweaking, it was huntable. After just a minute or two, I got a decent high tone that was in the silver range. Pam’s husband volunteered to jump in and try to snag the target. Yay! He fished around a bit, but, came up empty. Ok, time for the small coil to help get closer to the target. Still no good, so, I reached over the side with my pin pointer, stretched down as far as I could in the signal area and got right on the target.  Her husband had success this time coming up with the ring along with some muck before he jumped into the hot tub to warm up. After a bit of clean-up, it looked good as before the day’s dip in the pond. Pam was very happy to get her treasured ring back. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.
