When Olivia arrived in Ocean City, NJ for a relaxing beach day, she never imagined she would leave behind one of her most treasured possessions—a gold signet ring that belonged to her late grandfather.

The sentimental ring had been in her family for years and carried memories that simply could not be replaced. While enjoying her time on the beach, Olivia removed the ring and placed it in the cup holder of her beach chair for safekeeping. Unfortunately, when it was time to pack up and leave, the ring was forgotten.

The next day, more than 24 hours later, Olivia realized the ring was missing. After retracing her steps and searching on her own without success, she found Ring Finders South Jersey and contacted me, John Favano, for help.

During our phone conversation, I gathered as much information as possible about where she had been sitting and the circumstances surrounding the loss. The challenge was that the search area was quite large. With beachgoers, wind, tides, and over a full day having passed since the loss, there were no guarantees.

Upon arriving at the Ocean City beach, I began a methodical metal detecting search of the area. The search took time due to the size of the grid and the number of possible locations where the ring could have fallen from the chair.

Persistence paid off.

After carefully covering the search zone, my detector signaled a promising target beneath the sand. Moments later, Olivia’s gold signet ring emerged from the scoop.

The relief and excitement were immediate. What seemed like a hopeless situation had turned into a successful recovery.

If you’ve lost a ring, wedding band, engagement ring, necklace, or other valuable jewelry on the beach, don’t wait. Contact Ring Finders South Jersey as soon as possible. Fast action often increases the chances of a successful recovery.

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

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)

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!!!

WEDDING BAND LOST on EMERALD ISLE BEACH, FOUND JUST in TIME

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)


Walker and Lindsey were packing up their beach gear after a weekend getaway when they realized Walker had taken off his ring to swim in the ocean. Walker called me, and I was able to head his way right after we spoke. They agreed to stay a bit longer to help search the right area of the beach. Within seconds of scanning, my detector gave a loud signal. “I think this is it,” I said, as I pulled Walker’s gold wedding band from the dry.
I hope the delay was worth the result.
Safe travels home!

Lost Ring in Navarre, FL – Found in the Water!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

  1. This morning was awesome! Even though it rained a ton, the lightning held off long enough for me to help my new friend Kilo find his wife’s engagement ring out in the water.

    This past Friday was their anniversary, and they went to the Glow Kayak place in Navarre to enjoy a nighttime paddle. They hadn’t gone far when Kilo’s wife got a little grass on her hand. She tried to flick the grass off and heard a loud plop as her ring hit the water.

    Even Kilo heard the sound and asked what it was. She exclaimed, “That was my ring!” Kilo quickly jumped into action, leaping out of his kayak to try and mark the spot out in the sound at night, in over waist-deep water. That is not an easy thing to do!

    The next day, Kilo came out armed with a new detector, a scoop, and a mask and snorkel. Unfortunately, after 6-8 hours in the water on Saturday, he had no luck.

    Meanwhile, Kilo’s wife had looked up my information, and Kilo quickly agreed to let someone with a bit more experience give it a shot.

    I met Kilo Sunday morning early, and we hit the water. Although it wasn’t exactly where he thought, I was able to do a thorough grid search and recover their beautiful ring. Anniversary weekend saved!

    In the pic, Kilo’s smile says it all! Congrats to the happy couple, and thanks for trusting me to help find your ring.

LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.

 

Lost ring in the bay what should I do? Warerown NJ, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Edward Trapper NJ ring Finder returning ring recovered from the bay

I received a call from Max, who was pretty upset after losing his wedding band of many years while cleaning his boat. He explained that he was standing on the dock washing the boat when the hose became snagged on something behind him. As he gave the hose a hard pull across his chest with his left hand, the snag suddenly released. Because his hands were wet and soapy, his grip slipped and his hand flew outward to the side. At that exact moment, his wedding ring launched right off his finger and disappeared into the lagoon.

Max was certain the ring had only flown a few feet from the boat and carefully explained exactly where he had been standing and the motion that caused it to come off. Although he couldn’t make it back down to the house, he drew me a very detailed map of the area and showed me precisely where everything happened.

This was going to be a difficult recovery. The lagoon was deep, the bottom terrain was uneven, and the dark black water had absolutely zero visibility. Recoveries like this require careful underwater grid searches and a lot of patience.

On day one, I spent over three hours underwater methodically searching the mapped-out area, but unfortunately the search came up empty. I called Max afterward and showed him exactly where I had searched. He was shocked the ring hadn’t turned up because everyone believed it had to be close to the boat.

We agreed to give it another shot the following day. As we mapped out the next section, I had a strong feeling the ring may have traveled much farther than anyone expected. We started right where the previous search ended and slowly worked our way farther toward the middle of the lagoon.

Nearly two hours into the second search, right at the edge of the new grid, I heard a very promising signal through the headphones. Buried deep in the black mud was Max’s wedding band!

The ring ended up being far farther from the boat than anyone would have imagined — likely close to 20 feet away from where it came off his finger. This is probably the furthest distance I’ve ever recovered a ring from the actual point where it was lost.

After getting everything cleaned up, rinsed off, and loading my gear back into the truck, I decided to have a little fun with Max before giving away the result. I called him and told him we had found a few things on the bottom and that I had sent some pictures over. First came the photos of soda cans, pull tabs, beer bottle caps, and other debris from the lagoon floor. Then in the final picture was his wedding ring sitting safely in my hand.

I had him on speakerphone and could hear the absolute joy and disbelief in his voice the moment he saw it. Max admitted most people would have completely given up after the first search because nobody would ever expect the ring to travel that far.

Another incredible recovery completed!

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)

 

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.

Oura ring lost, found and returned in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)


Emily lost her Oura ring while gardening at night. Her boys tried to find it with their toy metal detector but could not find it so they called the Ring Finders. She was “98% sure” she lost it in a specific area. There was so much metal edging, garden trash and overhead wires it was a bit difficult. After being unsuccessful in the area she thought I checked her path of travel. I spotted it, no detector needed.
