Lost a ring in Ocean City, New Jersey?

Call John

215-850-0188

Kevin was enjoying a beach day in Ocean City, NJ when his wedding band was accidentally lost in the sand. While reaching into the beach cart, the ring slipped out of the pocket without him noticing. By the time he realized it was missing, it was too late—the sand had already hidden it.

His mother-in-law, Karen, quickly searched online and gave me a call. She described the situation and gave me a detailed location of where they believed the ring had fallen. I arrived at the beach within 30 minutes and met them near the scene.

The beach conditions were ideal—flat sand and not overly crowded. I grabbed my metal detector and started a tight grid search in the area they had pointed out.

After only a few passes, I picked up a strong signal. I scooped carefully, and there it was—Kevin’s lost wedding band, just beneath the surface.

The moment I handed it back was unforgettable. Smiles, cheers, and pure relief filled the air. Kevin was thrilled to have his wedding ring back, and Karen was grateful for the quick response.

This is why I do what I do—helping people recover their precious items lost on the beach.

If you’ve lost a ring or jewelry in Ocean City, NJ, don’t wait. Call or text Ring Finders South Jersey right away. The faster you act, the better the chance of recovery before tides or foot traffic move it.

Thanks again to Karen for reaching out and trusting me with this important recovery.

Another happy ending—and another ring returned on the Jersey Shore!

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. Another happy couple!

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

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

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)

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)
  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

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! »

Lost a ring in Sea Isle City? Don’t Wait to call! 215-850-0188

Nicole was enjoying a beautiful day at the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ with her daughter and family—sunshine, sand, and summer fun. But that perfect day quickly turned into panic when she got home and realized both her wedding band and engagement ring were gone. 💍

Her family searched high and low with no luck. That’s when Nicole contacted me—John Favano with Ring Finders South Jersey. We met back at the beach, and after getting a clear idea of where they’d been throughout the day, I started a detailed grid search.

✅ First, I checked the spot where they had been sitting—no luck.
✅ Then I moved closer to the shoreline—still nothing.
✅ Finally, after expanding the search, I got a signal. Out came the wedding band! Just a few sweeps later, the engagement ring appeared too!

Nicole was thrilled to be reunited with both rings. It was a successful recovery and another rewarding day helping return lost treasures on the beach in Sea Isle City!

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

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

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!

LOST PLATINUM WEDDING RING in MONROE, NC…. FOUND!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I DIDN’T EVEN TURN ON MY MACHINE!!!

Received a text message that a gentleman had lost his platinum wedding ring in his yard.

I told him I could leave in a few mins and would be there in an hour and a half.

I arrive, get my gear, meet him, we make our way to the backyard where I get the scoop.

He was skimming his pool and he was shaking his hands dry next to a black/rod iron looking fence that had a row of elephant ears growing on the pool side of the fence.

As he was showing me the direction he thought the ring went, stating it’s probably on the other side of these elephant ears. He goes to move the plants back and we look down and we both see the ring! He was like, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MY WIFE AND LOOKED ALL OVER FOR THIS RING!”

I took a couple of photos and loaded up to head back home.

Love the easy ones!

Two Very Important Lost Rings Found After Kids Day At The Beach

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

NORTH TOPSAIL, NC                                                                                        By: Crystal Coast Ring Finders

I was taking advantage of the calm Atlantic Ocean waves by metal detecting the waist deep waters of Emerald Isle, NC.  My phone, in it’s waterproof case, rang and I came out of the water to return the call.  Jeff informed me his wife Kim had lost 2 of her rings on the beach about an hour away from my current location.  I told Jeff I would load up the truck and head that way as soon as possible.

Upon arrival, Kim & Jeff informed me she was spending the day at the beach and removed her rings to apply sunscreen to the kids.  She became distracted and wasn’t sure where she placed them but feels they were on the beach blanket.  It wasn’t until she returned home to shower that she noticed her rings were missing.  Kim went back to the location and tried to search and found the area (because of a dead crab nearby).   Kim was unable to dig out the rings from the sand.  Marking the location was very important as I started to grid search the area and after one pass, I turned to start a second search line, and my metal detector sounded off very loudly.  I looked up at Jeff & Kim and smiled.  I was almost certain I had found them under the sand.  My pinpointer confirmed the location and I used my hand to scoop the rings to the surface.   Kim came a running after spotting the large cigar style ring.
