TWO LOST GOLD RINGS in CHAPEL HILL, NC…….FOUND!!!!

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

Received a text from a fellow ring finder asking if I wanted to take a double ring recovery that he wasn’t available to go out on. Of course I said, “SURE!”

I was passed on that they were lost at a wedding venue.

He sent me his number, I texted him, he said he lost them after he put them in his pocket before playing football with some kids. Turned out he had a hole in his pocket and that’s how he lost them. We set up a time when I could be there. I also had to gain permission from the Venue. The Venue said I could come out, but I had to be off the property by noon because they have events scheduled from noon today all the way until Sunday.

I arrived at 10 am, took me about an hour, but I found them both about 7 inches apart!

When we met up, his first words were, “YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE!”

Shannon and her husband Tom were ending a perfect day on the water in Stone Harbor, NJ. As they stepped off their boat at the marina, disaster struck. Shannon lost her balance—and her brand-new iPhone slipped from her hand into the harbor.

In shock, she watched it vanish beneath the surface.

Knowing time was critical, Shannon grabbed her husband’s phone and searched online for help. She found RingFindersSouthJersey.com and quickly connected with John Favano, a trusted expert in lost item recovery.

John is known across South Jersey for finding lost rings, phones, and valuables from beaches, backyards, and underwater.

Luckily, John was nearby and arrived at the Stone Harbor marina within 20 minutes.

Shannon pointed out exactly where the phone had fallen. The tide was low—a perfect window for recovery. John geared up and entered the water with his underwater metal detector.

The murky water made the search difficult. At first, John found only clamshells and debris. But he kept going. A few minutes later, he got a strong signal.

He reached into the muck, feeling around carefully. Then he smiled and joked, “There are some big clams in this harbor.”

He pulled up a dripping wet iPhone.

Shannon’s face lit up. She was stunned—and thrilled. Her phone had been retrieved fast, increasing the chance it could still work after drying out.

John said helping people like this never gets old. “Every recovery is unique. Seeing that joy on someone’s face is why I do it.”

This success story is a great reminder—if you lose something valuable in Stone Harbor, NJ, don’t panic. You have someone to call.

Lost Gold Chain and Medallion, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag

Lost a ring? Dont wait Call NOW!

Two weeks ago I received a call from Rich around 8pm while he was on his way home from Cape May. Rich explained that he was out enjoying a day on the bay when a squall came in that afternoon causing him to abruptly pack up and head for his car. In the process he dropped his gold chain and medallion which were given to him by his late parents. Rich expressed his concern and urgency to attempt to recover this item. When Rich called, I was out to dinner with family, but after gathering some location details I decided that I would try for his chain that same evening once we returned back home. One of the more difficult aspects of this recovery was the location. Rich had parked at the end of New England Road and walked about 1 & 1/2 miles along the bay to where he set up. Luckily he snapped a photo and I was able to find the area he was sitting based upon the drift wood in the photo Rich sent. After arriving to the area around 11pm that evening, the chain and medallion was recovered shortly there after. I kept Rich’s chain in safe keeping until he was able to come back down to pick up his chain. Rich asked for his photo to be excluded from the post, but see his review below. Another happy customer!
 » I can’t thank Jeff enough for his diligence in going out the beach at 11pm on a stormy night to find my chain and medallion for me, forever grateful! “

Wedding Band Recovered in the Gulf

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Jason asked if I could look for his wedding band that he was sure was lost forever. Gave it a 3% chance of finding but had me look anyway for closure. He estimated it was lost on a sandbar in the gulf about 50 feet off shore and within a 250 linear foot sandbar. I Started a grid and found it just about in the center of the area. Jason was attending to his baby back at the condo when I found it but the rest of his family and in-laws were watching my progress from the beach. Everyone was impressed with the recovery thinking that the search was a folly. Jason was extremely happy and I’m sure the rest of his vacation was regret free. Glad I could help!

Avalon NJ Lost Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

Lost A Ring in

Avalon, New Jersey? Don’t Wait!

CALL JOHN 

215-850-0188

Earlier this week, I received a call from Michelle about a lost silver and gold ring in Avalon, NJ. Jane was enjoying a beautiful late afternoon with friends when a fun moment turned into a sudden panic.

 

While standing near the water’s edge, Jane was tossing clam shells into the ocean when she felt her precious silver and gold ring slip right off her finger. It was one of those slow-motion moments where you realize too late that something valuable is gone. Her heart sank as quickly as the ring did.

 

Thinking fast, Jane marked the area where the ring was lost by writing the word “HELP” in large letters in the sand. Smart move! This helped locate the spot with the metal detector a short time later.

 

Michelle and Jane were at beach, and she pointed out the area near the surf. We only had a short window of time before the incoming tide would wash away the sand and make the search more difficult, scanning the area with the metal detector.

 

After just a few passes, there was a strong signal. Digging carefully, scooped into the wet sand and there it was Jane’s silver and gold ring, safely recovered!

 

The look of relief and happiness on her face said it all. This ring wasn’t just jewelry—it held personal meaning and memories. Being able to return it was an absolute joy.

 

Another successful recovery at the Jersey Shore! If you ever find yourself in a similar situation—whether in Avalon or anywhere from Brigantine to Cape May—don’t panic. Reach out right away. Quick action makes all the difference, and we are  happy to help!

 

Visit RingFindersSouthJersey.com or call/text 215-850-0188 if you’ve lost something valuable at the beach.

Lost Platinum 2-Piece Mountain Ring Found And Quickly Returned – Pine Knoll Shores

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

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS:
Alex called to ask for assistance to locate Allison’s ring that was dropped on the beach.
The couple was attending a reunion of family members from various states. Allison was showing her grandmother the unique 2-piece ring when it was dropped and buried into the sand. Upon arrival, and between bursts of rain, I noticed they had marked a very small search area and with 4-5 swings of my detector coil I hit a very solid signal. I told them before uncovering the ring « I think this is it ». Using my pinpointer to find the exact location, I pulled up a handful of sand with Allison’s platinum ring. They were all heading back home the following day.

Super Nice Ring Set Recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Sue lost her wedding ring set at Gulf Shores a couple day before calling me for help. She didn’t know where to go and it took a day or so to find someone who could help. I told her i would be there first thing in the morning. I met her where she and the family were staying and we walked to the beach area she thinks it was lost. She wasn’t sure how it was lost, where it might be or if it was even on the beach but felt hopefully it was on the beach. She talked about the day it was lost and her activities and locations. The house and car had been searched and it wasn’t there, so logicly it must on the way to the beach or somewhere on the beach. She showed me the various places they were on the beach and the routes to and from those various places. With that information I put together a search plan and proceeded. After about 30 minutes and after digging several other targets I got a very good signal and knew i found something good. I dug it and showed it to Sue who shouted you found it! She was very, very happily. I’m glad I found it for her, it made both our days.
