It was a warm summer night in North Wildwood, NJ when Samantha and her friends decided to enjoy the beach under the stars. But in an instant, the fun turned into panic—her gold Claddagh ring slipped off her finger and disappeared into the sand.

Thankfully, Samantha didn’t wait long before reaching out to Ring Finders South Jersey. I arrived on the scene in about five minutes, equipped with my professional metal detector and a plan.

Working carefully, I set up a grid search in the area where the ring was last seen. After a few sweeps, my detector gave off a sweet, strong tone—exactly what I was hoping to hear. A quick scoop of sand, and bingo! There it was—Samantha’s gold Claddagh ring, safe and sound.

The beach erupted in cheers! Samantha was thrilled, her friends celebrated, and we all ended the night on the best note possible.

Dennis, MA Ring Lost Third Time, Found and Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 30, 2025 Matt texted me: “Hi Richard, my name is Matt. Found you on TheRingfinders site. I’m here in East Dennis on vacation with my family. I was throwing a ball around with my son in the water yesterday when I realized I must have flung off my wedding ring. We searched for hours with no luck, even went back at low tide with a cheap metal detector to no avail. If you are in the area and would be interested in helping please let me know. Thank you.”

How could I say no, well I could and did not. I short time I was on my way to see one of Cape Cod Bay’s most beautiful views just before descending down the long set of wooden stairs to a private beach. On the beach a group of a dozen or more family members were waiting for me to show up and work my magic and find Matt’s wedding band.

I asked the usual questions and had Matt enter the water and stand were he thought he lost his ring. After about 10 minutes of searching and not finding the ring I overheard Matt and his father discussing the area. Matt’s father thought I should be searching a bit east and in deeper water. So I moved the search area and about a minute later, dad was correct, I had a great sounding target and with one scoop I had the “flung” ring captured in my scoop.

On shore the ring was returned and I asked for information about the ring. Well, it had quite a history, so much so I asked Matt to send me a text about the rings history…here is the text:
“I have lost my wedding ring 3x during that time. The first time I lost it transplanting ornamental grasses at my home….i unearthed it days later. The second time was about 5 years ago at a resort in Mexico….a fellow hotel guest found it at the bottom of one of the pools and turned it into the front desk. Yesterday was the most challenging recovery!….I lost it in the ocean while playing catch with my son.”

I am sure the ring’s travel is not over and it will see many more thrilling events but I would bet one event that will never happen is one of being lost again. At least I hope not, but Matt does have my contact information just in case.

Engagement ring lost at Coronado found

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

Jessica and her family are visiting here in San Diego and spent the day at the beach in Coronado. She removed her three rings and put them in a fanny pack to keep them safe.  On their way back to their hotel, she went to put her rings back on and only found two of them. She had been in the fanny pack a few times to remove her phone, so, that’s probably when the ring accidentally got pulled out. Panic set in and she returned to the beach to hopefully find the missing engagement ring. As we all know, soft sand will swallow a ring in an instant, and running fingers like a rake to find a small item like that rarely works. Jessica searched online for help and made contact with fellow RingFinder Curtis Cox, who is about an hour north of us. He recommended she call me….Thanks Curtis! I headed over right away and found traffic was horrible! A Sunday afternoon during the summer is always a pain with traffic and parking in Coronado, but, this was really bad due to an accident on the bridge over to the island. An hour later, and parking a mile away, I finally made it to the search area to meet Jessica. She knew where they were camped earlier that day and I started my grid search. First pass I found a quarter. Second pass, nothing. At the end of the third pass I got a nice reading of 20 on my Equinox 900. I told Jessica that this was a promising signal, but, lots of trash signals can read the same. A shallow poke in the sand with my pin pointer revealed what we hoped it would be…..a beautiful engagement ring.  A grateful and very happy Jessica can now enjoy the rest of her stay here before heading home in the morning. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Dennis, MA…”The ONE and ONLY Ring” Found and Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

July 31, 2025 On the 29th I received a call from Kyle requesting help in finding his ring. He had seen it drop off his finger into the water of Cape Cod Bay. A description was received in a text: “Beveled gold ring with “always” engraved on the inside.” Unfortunately I was out looking for another’s lost wedding band and would not be able to help until the next morning’s tide. We passed a couple of pin marks on a map and I was ready for a search in the morning.

I searched the marked out area for a couple of hours in the morning and not finding the ring, I would go back for the evening tide. The evening’s search in an enlarger area did not produce the ring either. A few more texts and a new picture of the area showed the ring might be a bit further west than I had been searching. Then the question came from Kyle…”Do you know what time you might look again? I would love to come meet you if possible.” Of course. I, for some reason, assumed Kyle was not on the Cape when we were texting. I was wrong. So we set the time for 6:30PM, just before low tide.

It is always best to have the person who lost the object to be at the search sight so they may answer questions about the loss and stand in the area they thought the loss occurred. Most times the area is not where map pin marks are given, some times only off by a few feet and once a wife was actually standing on the ring. On another occasion a large rock had been put on top of the lost ring. On a third case; scattered coins were only off by the difference in tide height of when the ring was lost and where the coins were dropped.

We met at the beach and I lined up using the photos which I learned were taken that morning, not two days ago when the ring was lost. A comment on buying a replacement ring was made. Briana sharply replied to with “The ONE and ONLY Ring” is in the water, no replacement ring will do! The more I searched the more I was told “further out”, “closer in”, further west maybe to the east. None of the area adjustments put me on top of the ring, not even the area were Kyle came into the water and stood were he “lost the ring”. I went back to the shore line again, asking for more information. Well maybe a bit more west, but not that far out. OK, I turned and without taking a step, swug the detector and got the best signal I had heard all day. I took the headphones off so Briana could hear what I was listening for. Then I took one scoop, and you bet…The Ring was in my scoop.

Nothing out of the ordinary transpired on the way back to the car. Pictures a few tidbits about The Ring and lastly, many thanks, a hug, and a couple of ideas of how not to loose a ring at the beach were discussed. A good bye and we were all off for an evening of sleep without the worry if “The One and Only Ring” would ever be seen again.

Super quick recovery, super short story. I received a message from Bethann. She explained that her husband lost his ring on Trenton Ave beach while playing with their grandchildren in the sand. Rode over and met up with the couple on the beach minutes after she messaged me. After a very brief discussion and search I managed to recover the ring in about 30 seconds. Granted they’re not always that fast, but it nice when they are. Regardless of how long it takes, I always take the time to provide the very best service and search techniques for my clients.

LOST GOLD WEDDING BAND in CHARLOTTE, NC….. FOUND!!!!

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

I finished the day 2-3 on recoveries, lack of sleep, many hours and miles driven to put smiles back on 2 of the 3 and hopes for the 3rd one it is somewhere in her bags waiting to be found!

While on the ferry ride to Southport coming back from Bald Head Island and after successfully completing my early morning ring recovery. I get a call from a gentleman telling me his wife lost her wedding set in some grass at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, NC last night. They were able to find the engagement ring, but the wedding band wasn’t able to be found.

They had lots of help from police and pedestrians all trying to locate this ring in the dark!

He found me online and gave me a call. I advised him of my current location/situation and assured him that I could head straight to him once I get back to my truck and change into some dry clothes. Four hours later I arrived and met the both of them. I get my gear ready, get the story, area to search and start the recovery!

About 15-20 mins I get a ring hit, look down to scan with my pin-pointer and I see a ring shaped object! I could just barely see it with the grass already covering it. It would’ve been impossible to see this one with just the naked eye!

After a few photos and “couple embraces” it’s back on her finger where it belongs to stay forever!

LOST 14k GOLD WEDDING RING IN A TIDE POOL on BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC…… FOUND!!!!

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

Received a late night text from a gentleman that lost his 14k gold wedding ring on “BALD HEAD ISLAND” on the east beach side where it meets south beach in the “tide pool” while playing with his family.

They were leaving at noon today to head back to Raleigh, so time was of the essence!

I drive down at midnight last night and hit Oak Island for about an hour and a half where a young lady had lost her wedding ring. I didn’t find her’s so I loaded up and made it to Southport ferry for the 6:00 ride over to Bald Head Island. I arrive at 6:30, was picked up by 6:45.

We headed to the opposite side of the island and walked out to the spot. The tide pool has a drop off that goes down to about 7-8 feet and if it was in there I would’ve had to come back to find it with my NEMO/NOMAD MINI.

About an hour later and ONLY getting two signals, I come up with his 14k gold wedding ring!

Happy husband and I’m sure a happy wife too! Now they can go home from vacation with a story and a priceless treasure back where it belongs!

Lost ring on the beach, Seaside Heights NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
  1. Erica was enjoying a beautiful summer day at the Jersey Shore when a nearly tragic moment occurred. She had taken off her rings to apply sunblock and placed them on her beach chair. Hours later, when she went to sit down again, she suddenly remembered—but the rings were gone.After a long search with no success, Erica and her fiancé packed up for the day and headed to the boardwalk for dinner. While there, she posted on a local Facebook community group, sharing the exact location of where they had been sitting on the beach. Fortunately, someone in the comments saw the post and suggested she call Edward Trapper – the NJ Ring Finder.Erica contacted me right away. I asked her to take the post down (it had only been up for about 20 minutes) to avoid attracting any opportunistic treasure hunters, and I agreed to meet her at the boardwalk within 30 minutes.

    By the time we reached the beach, it was dark and officially closed, but we carefully worked our way around the barriers. Erica guided me to the exact spot using earlier photos, and I could still see the dig marks from where they had searched earlier.

    Within 10 minutes, I had her ring safely recovered in my scoop. The relief and excitement on their faces said it all—they truly didn’t expect to see those rings again.

Wildwood Crest, NJ Lost Platinum & Diamond Ring FOUND! by Ring Finders Cape May Jeffrey Laag

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)

Lost a ring? Dont wait, Call NOW!

Received a call from Laura. She explained that she had taken off her rings while on Diamond Beach in Wildwood Crest in front of The Grande and handed them to her husband while she applied sunscreen. Later he handed them back to her and she placed them on her lap, this all happened on Saturday. Several days later Laura was looking for her rings, which she assumed she had placed somewhere in her home. After checking the usual spots, panic began to set in after she realized that she never picked them back up after her husband handed them back to her while on the beach in Wildwood Crest. Laura contacted me the following Thursday evening. We spoke and she outlined a specific area on a map pic that I had sent to her. I went down that same Thursday evening only to be met with 30-40mph winds and an onshore blown in tide. The beach was a mess as a result of these weather conditions. I still managed to check a fairly large area but with no success. I advised Laura of the conditions and lack of results and told her that I would try another day once things calmed down however I was skeptical at best considering the location she directed me to. A few days later Laura contacted me again and said that a little girl and her grandmother were playing in the sand in front of The Icona Star Beach Bar and happened across one of Laura’s rings! They turned the ring into The Grand staff to be returned to Laura. Laura immediately advised me of what had transpired and the next morning at 5am I went down to check the area where the one ring was found. The area where the first ring was found was about 800yds from where Laura had originally identified to me. I thoroughly checked that area and found nothing but trash. Since I was already there I walked back down to the original area and was able to make a few passes closer to the normal high tide line and BAM got a signal worth checking. Out came the platinum diamond wedding band! Laura spoke with The Grande staff and I picked up the first ring and delivered both back to Laura the following week. She was absolutely elated! Another successful recovery! How the first ring ended up so far from the original spot may always be a mystery but at least they are both back where they belong!
See attached link from 6abc Action News who picked up this story and did an interview about the whole ordeal.

Laura’s testimonial:
« Jeff is so incredibly kind and selfless – and above all else, so committed to finding your priceless items. You can trust him to search and return your items. I lost my wedding band on Diamond Beach on a busy summer Saturday and had Jeff start his search 5 days after I lost it. Between lost time, big crowds, bad weather, and beach cleaning tractors…. Well, let’s just say not even Jeff had confidence in finding my wedding band. But that didn’t stop him from immediately responding to my text and going to the beach very late on a week night to start his search. He returned empty handed that night and went back again at dawn a few days later and found it! He spent so much time helping me and I am forever grateful. If you’ve lost a wedding ring or anything precious, you know it’s devastating and hard to know where to turn but I hope you turn to Jeff. He even went out of his way to hand deliver it to my front step and I live over an hour from him. He is a special soul! Jeff works for tips so please be sure to show your gratitude! »

North Topsail Beach, NC – Wedding Band Lost In Ocean, Found And Returned

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

North Topsail Beach, NC                                                                            By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

Steve was spending some time in the ocean during a typical hot Summer North Carolina day. He mentioned he was swimming in about chest deep waters, jumping in the waves.  A large wave hit him and he felt his ring was gone!

Steve called me just after low tide that same day and I arrived the following day to search.  I found another man’s white gold band, in the ocean, a few miles away about an hour before.  I started my search parallel with the shoreline working my way out into the deeper water.  After finding nothing but a couple of pieces of trash, I started a vertical search.  After just a couple of passes, I got a good signal.  I was disappointed when I dug up a pop can tab.  A few steps later in the water, my machine displayed the very same target identification.  This time it was Stephen’s white gold wedding band!  I walked to shore and took some pictures.  Steve was about to go out with family for pizza and I sent him the photo thinking they had already left.  A large number of family members and Steve and his wife poured out onto the beach with surprise and joy!
