Lost Gold & Diamond Wedding Ring, FOUND! Brigantine, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag

Class Ring Recovered – Wake Forest
I was contacted by a gentleman up in Wake Forest. He had been watering plants in the yard and noticed when he was through that one of his rings was missing. He described it as a man’s class ring, which was great news (a man’s class ring is large and if the person knows roughly where they lost it, it is usually a straightforward recovery). Even better, he had a second, slightly larger class ring to show me what I was looking for. (The larger ring was for his PhD degree and the smaller one – the one that was lost – was for his undergraduate degree. Other than the size difference, they were identical.) He had thoroughly searched all the usual places (pockets, floors, counters, trash, etc.) and finally concluded that it must be outside, which is when he called me. He showed me the path he had followed when watering and mentioned that he had stopped only once, to fill up a pail with water. I started where he started and within 5 minutes I had located the ring. It had come off his finger when he was filling the pail and had fallen through the grass onto the dirt. Given the way the grass had grown up in that area, there was no way it could be seen from above. Anyway, recovered the ring for him – another happy ending!

Lost TINY Diamond and Gold pendant found in Annapolis, Maryland!
I was contacted today by Lauren who informed me that she lost a pendant from her necklace while in her barn preparing food for her livestock. She mentioned it was quite small and that it was most likely somewhere in the hay on the barn floor. She went on to say it was just lost that morning and that after searching for a while in the hay she realized that it was going to be near impossible to find it without professional help.
We made plans to meet in the afternoon. Upon arriving, Lauren took me down to the barn and led me to the specific area that she felt it should be. Luckily the area was small and fairly undisturbed other than the searching that she did earlier. I immediately got to work and after getting a few false signals, I got a hit and……………..
…………BOOM! Can you see it in the picture?
I know Lauren told me it was small, but wow………
………….this was by far the smallest recovery I’ve made in 20+ years!
Lauren ventured by up to the house prior, so I texted her to come back down to the barn. The joy and relief I saw on her face I will never forget. It was plain to see how much this tiny little cross meant to her! I’m happy to say it is back where it belongs!

Platinum Diamond Womens Wedding Band Recovered At South Bethany Beach, Del.
I received a call from Laura regarding the loss of her Platinum Diamond Womens Wedding Band at Middle Sex Beach located in South Bethany Beach, Delaware. Laura stated that she was throwing a football around on the beach when her ring slipped off her finger and disappeared into the sand. Laura said that they had marked the area where the ring had been lost. I responded to Middle Sex Beach where I met with Laura and began the search for her lost ring. After a careful check of the area that Laura had marked the ring was nowhere to be found. I then expanded my search eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean for about fifteen feet at which time the lost ring was found and recovered.


Mattapoisett’s Newest Engagement !
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
