I received a message from Ken the other day. He explained that his wife was sitting with their daughter just at the edge of the water on the beach in Wildwood Crest . The pair were chatting about his wife, Shelly’s, ring which she had just had repaired and had taken it off to show to her daughter. While doing so, a larger wave rushed in and startled the pair causing the ring to be flung behind them towards the upper beach as they were facing the water when it happened. The ring landed in the shallow water and disappeared. Shelly was devastated, and the family searched for hours trying to locate the ring. Luckily, Ken, Shelly’s husband, did an excellent job noting the approximate location and took note of the time as the tide was moving in. We discussed the event a bit and decided to wait until the tide was heading back out so the water would be at a reasonable depth. I met the couple on the beach at just about dark around 9pm and began searching. About 15 minutes later I heard the signal I was searching for, 1 scoop later the ring was back on Shelly’s finger. She was elated to say the least! The couple informed me that Ken had proposed to Shelly over 40 years prior just a few blocks down beach. Another relieved & happy couple!
Kens and Shelly’s review of service:
“Jeffrey came at dusk walked into the ocean and went to work finding my wife’s engagement ring. 10 min later he saved our vacation and I can’t thank him enough. Thank you!”

I was tagged by several folks in a post on Cape May Live. The poster was asking for people to keep an eye out for her husband’s gold ring that slipped off in the surf. I messaged the couple and we chatted back and forth about what exactly happened and where. She was able to outline the specific area and time of day that the loss occurred. Timing wise, I felt that the best chances would be during the low tide cycle the following morning. I took the 5 minute ride for home yesterday morning and began searching. After about 1 hour or so I got the signal I was searching for and out popped the ring from thigh deep surf. The couple confirmed the inscribed date and picked up the ring yesterday afternoon. They both thought the ring was “gone forever” after 27 years of marriage. Another happy couple!
The Verners review of service:
“Jeff Laag is truly amazing! I don’t know how he did it, but he found my husband’s wedding band that was lost in knee deep water at the cape may beach. Don’t hesitate to look him up to find your lost jewelry!”

I received a message from Genevieve Sunday afternoon explaining that she had lost her wedding ring in the sand while at the beach with her family. She had placed her ring in the cupholder of her beach chair to apply sunscreen. Later, her husband folded and relocated their belongings as the tide was moving. He had no idea that his wifes ring was in the chair when he folded the chair and once folded the ring disappeared into the sand. After the couple realized what had happened they began frantically searching for the ring. Other beach goers saw them searching and pitched in to search as well, even one of the lifeguards lent a hand! After a while, the group came up empty handed. Thats when Genevieve reached out for help. Usually I dont travel to Brigantine on Sundays as Northbound traffic can be horrendous but I could tell that Genevieve was upset and really needed some help. I took the ride up and met with the couple on 31st street beach. After a brief discussion I began searching the areas outlined by her husband. About 45 minutes later I had her ring in the scoop. Genevieve explained that the ring was so special as it contained diamonds from her grandmothers wedding ring and was very special to the couple! The entire beach was thrilled to see the ring! Another happy couple!
Genevieves review of service:
“Your service was wonderful: you were calm, professional and reassuring. Of course, you found my ring. So the service speaks for itself – but your customer service was really perfection !”

I received a message from Marlene. She explained that she had been at the beach in Cape May Point with her fiance and friends. She wanted to hop in the ocean for a bit and handed her rings to a friend for safe keeping. Her friend placed the rings in the cup holder of a beach chair. Later on, unbeknownst to Marlene she folded her chair as they were packing up and began walking back to her car. She asked her friend for her rings back and then realized what had transpired. Marlene and her fiance remained back at the beach site frantically searching for 3+ hrs before finding my information. I rode over and met up with the couple in about 10 minutes and had her ring in the scoop about 5 minutes after that! Another happy and relieved couple!
Marlenes review:
“Huge shout out to Jeff Laag! I was looking for my ring for about 3 hours. When I called Jeff he was here in 10 minutes and found my ring literally 5 minutes! I can’t thank this man enough✨🙏🏻💜 and yes, I learned my lesson. I will never wear my ring to the beach again!”

Lost Wedding Ring In The Ocean Found And Returned – Emerald Isle, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Crystal Coast Ring Finders – Emerald Isle, NC

Victor called me on a recommendation.  He stated he lost his wedding band of 3 years while enjoying the ocean.  I made plans to hunt before the next low tide (12:15 a.m.) and that was very late so I said there may be a chance it’s on the beach so I began searching just after 10:30.

Victor and his friends and family had gathered above the location and they knew just where Victor’s custom made gold band was lost.

I started my grid search well above the current tide and progressed down to the waves rolling onto the beach.  Just as I my boots were getting wet and the grid lines in the sand were being washed away, I hit a very strong signal.  Being that the ring was large, my detector screen displayed the high end of what a gold ring would signal.  One scoop into the sand and the following wave cleared out the sand.  I peaked inside and saw that beautiful golden circle!  I walked up to the group who had phones and lights running and let the ring roll out of the sand scoop in front of them.  It was a great feeling watching them celebrate the recovery!

Gold Wedding Band Lost During Emerald Isle Beach Trip Found Off Beach

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

David gave Crystal Coast Ring Finders a call just before dark.  He stated he went to the beach and upon returning to his home, noticed his wedding band, he never removes, was gone.  David asked if I wanted to search the following day and I asked if he was near a public access on the beach.  I was worried with the popularity of metal detecting, someone would find the ring before morning.  David said yes it was near a public place so I said I would get there as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, I picked up David and we rode closer to the beach access.  David showed me where he parked his golf cart then grabbed a chair and a cooler and headed to the beach. I noticed there were about 5 vehicles parked.  We arrived at the place where he was sitting and a small group was nearby for a sea turtle hatch about to happen.  Fortunately, David was sitting far enough away I was able to search all around where he was sitting.  Nothing but trash was found during the beach search and I also searched the sand up to the steps leading to the street.  After a very thorough search, we returned to the parking area where it was now very dark and a vehicle was now in the area David’s golf cart was earlier that day.  I turned my headlamp on high beam and started to search around the vehicle.  I was looking for the bright reflection of the light beam on David’s ring.  Finally moving the back of the vehicle, and close to David, I spotted his ring laying in the street edge.  David was very relieved after snatching it up from the road.

I told him earlier, « I hate when I can’t find it! ».

Wedding ring lost Amarillo,Texas – Found

  • from Amarillo (Texas, United States)

A water ballon fight with grandkids resulted in losing a man’s gold wedding ring. They contacted me the next morning, July 15,2025. I arrived that afternoon and showed them how my detector works, Whites MXT. As I started searching I asked Michael if he would like to use my spare detector and help search. After a very short tutorial Michael joined me in the search of their large yard. 46 minutes later the ring was found! But not by me. My first time to have the victim find his own lost ring!! This was amazing for me and for Michael. It is always so much fun to recover lost jewelry but this one was a rare treat indeed.

Ring lost in the ocean, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was early afternoon on a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore when Megan texted me. She had just lost a very precious ring in the ocean and asked if I could help. I explained that it depended on how sure she was of the location and if she could guide me back to the exact spot. Megan said she had seen the ring fall from her finger and drop near her feet in waist-deep water. I instructed her to mark the location as best as possible, using Google Maps to drop a pin, taking photos of the shoreline and the area where the ring was lost, and noting the time of day it happened. She said she’d think it over and get back to me.

A few minutes later, Megan called back, ready to move forward. We arranged to meet at the next low tide, around 9 p.m., as the ocean was forecasted to get rough in the coming days, which would make the search nearly impossible. I met Megan’s mom, Erin, on the beach that night, and we marked the area where the ring had been lost. I started by working along the bottom of the tide line, hoping the ring had washed up, but after several passes, I had no luck. I checked the photos to ensure I was in the right spot—it all matched up.

The waves were rough, with a strong rip tide making it difficult to work below the shell drop. After a while, I took a break to regroup. While I spoke with my wife and Erin, I explained that the conditions were challenging and I wasn’t sure if I could continue searching.

After about half an hour, I returned to the water to observe the wave pattern. As the tide receded, the waves seemed to calm a bit, so I decided to give it another try. Determined to succeed, I got back into the water and focused on the area below the shell drop. Finally, I heard a solid signal—and there it was, Megan’s ring in my scoop.

I let out a yell of success, and Erin was in total shock. She immediately called Megan, shouting, “He found it! I can’t believe it! Get down here!” The excitement was contagious, and everything came together quickly. By then, it was close to 11 p.m., and I was exhausted from battling the surf. We took some photos, hugged, and said our goodbyes.

This recovery was a reminder of why it’s important to choose the right person for the job—someone who isn’t afraid of rough conditions and will do whatever it takes to succeed.

5 star review in Orange Beach- Found!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

This was one of my all-time favorite returns. Lindsey called Sunday afternoon and explained that she had lost her wedding ring the day before out in the Gulf in Orange Beach. The other problem is that she and her family had already gone home to Louisiana and she didn’t know what to do. I told her not to worry and that I was pretty good at helping people tell me where they had lost their ring. I started asking questions and before long, I was on my way to a condo in Orange Beach.

When I got in the water and checked my landmarks, I decided where to start based on our conversation. Immediately I noticed a man making a beeline for my position. I smiled and waved hello as he got within speaking distance. As soon as he asked me if I was there to help the lady from the day before, I noticed another man and woman headed my way as well. I had no idea just how popular Lindsey and her family had become, but I was about to find out.

The three of them asked several questions and I told them who I was. I then asked if they had been helping look the day before and what had happened. They told me that a lot of people had been combing the area but had no luck. One gentleman told me that I was in the right area but I needed to move forward a bit. I explained that I had decided to start there based on my conversation with Lindsey and I had asked her which way she was facing when she went to catch the football they were throwing. I said that it looked like I was too far away, but I promised them that I would grid search the whole area and invited them to watch.

The same man asked me how successful I was in the water. I told him that I didn’t want to jinx myself but I had a pretty high recovery percentage. I went about two more feet and heard that gold tone in my ears. I told them all that I thought I found it, and they incredulously inched closer. It took several gentle scoops, but finally, I held out the scoop with the beautiful diamond ring in it. One man asked if he could take it out, and I told him yes. He turned and held it up and yelled to the beach, “He Found The Diamond!!!”

As we walked in, the beach went crazy and people came out of the woodwork congratulating me and looking at the ring and explaining that they had been amongst the dozens who helped look for Lindsey’s ring the day before. Somebody suggested that we FaceTime Lindsey and I said that sounded like a great idea. I wish I had a screenshot of my phone because when Lindsey answered, there were upwards of thirty people behind me yelling, “We Found It!!! 😃” and shouting their congratulations. It was too loud to hear Lindsey, but I could see that she was emotional and happy. I held the ring up and told her that it was safe and that I would call her soon.

Wow! I made my way off the beach and had the chance to speak to a very happy Lindsey and sent her a photo of her ring. I ended up meeting her in Mobile today at lunch as she and her family drove over from Louisiana. The best part of this entire recovery is when their daughter insisted on making me a beautiful sign for the recovery photo. As you can see, she gave me five stars and that makes all of the effort worth every ounce of hard work.

Thank you, Lindsey, for trusting me with such a special ring!

-Dave 😃💍
