Just after dinner I received a phone call from Vinny asking if I could help locate his lost wedding ring and his wife’s wedding ring. They had been searching for days, tearing apart the house and retracing every step they had taken during their vacation in SSP. They checked sidewalks, roads, and anywhere they could think of, but had no luck.
Eventually, they narrowed the search area down to a small bay beach in SSP where they believed the rings may have been lost.
The weather forecast wasn’t looking promising, but I figured I had enough time to make it to the beach before the approaching storm rolled in. When I arrived, Vinny explained again that we were searching for his wedding ring and his wife’s wedding ring.
I began searching the area where they believed the rings were lost. Almost immediately, I received a beautiful signal. A few scoops later, out popped his wife’s wedding band! Vinny was thrilled.
As I continued searching, I asked him to describe his wedding ring once more. I got another strong signal only a few feet from where I found the first ring. But this wasn’t a man’s wedding band—it was a gorgeous woman’s engagement ring.
Vinny happened to be on the phone with his wife, so I asked him exactly what her ring looked like. Suddenly he exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! My wife just told me she lost her engagement ring too!”
That was the first time anyone mentioned a third ring.
I held the ring up for Vinny to see and the shock and excitement on his face was priceless. What started as a search for two wedding rings had suddenly become the recovery of an engagement ring as well.
I continued searching for Vinny’s wedding band, but during the search he received another phone call. This time, his wife had found his wedding ring tucked away on their stroller where it had been hiding the entire time.
It may have been a little confusing keeping track of which rings were lost and which were found, but in the end it was a wonderful outcome. Vinny was incredibly grateful, and after chatting for a few more minutes, we both headed home happy.
Another successful recovery by NJ Ring Finder!

Lagoon Ring Tragedy, Loveladies LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Find lost Ring Loveladies, New JerseyJersey ShoreJersey Shore

Alexandra sent me a text asking if I could come to Loveladies on LBI and recover her custom ring that she had lost in the lagoon. She explained that the tide was coming in quickly, the water was about chest-deep, and she believed the rings were only about 10 feet off the dock.

Knowing the rising tide could make the recovery much more difficult, I jumped in the truck and headed straight there.

When I arrived, Alexandra showed me the exact area where she thought the rings had slipped off. I entered the water and thoroughly searched the entire area she pointed out but came up empty. I expanded my search 15 to 20 feet in every direction, then worked closer to the dock and even a little farther out, but still nothing.

With the tide continuing to rise, I decided to push out as far as I safely could. The water was now about chin-deep, and I was barely able to keep my footing. Roughly 15 feet farther from the dock than where Alexandra had originally indicated, my detector gave off a beautiful high tone. I knew immediately I had found one of her custom rings.

Because the water was so deep, I had to drag my scoop back into shallower water before I could dig through it. A moment later, there it was—Alexandra’s custom ring safely sitting in the scoop.

Alexandra was incredibly lucky. Had the ring been just a little farther out in deeper water, the recovery would have had to wait until I returned with my scuba gear. Timing was everything, and thankfully we got there just in time.

Lost Earring Found on 12th Street Beach in Ocean City, NJ by Ring Finders South Jersey John favano

Lost Earring Found on 12th Street Beach in Ocean City, NJ

When Kathy called, she was understandably upset. While enjoying a family day on 12th Street Beach in Ocean City, NJ, she realized one of her sentimental stud earrings had disappeared in the sand. Unlike their usual beach spot, the family had chosen a different street that day, making retracing their steps even more challenging.

I arrived about 20 minutes after receiving the call. After gathering the details about where Kathy had been sitting and the last time she remembered wearing the earring, it was time to get to work.

Stud earrings are among the most difficult jewelry items to recover. Their small size allows them to disappear deep into the sand, making them nearly impossible to locate without professional metal detecting equipment and an organized search pattern.

Using specialized metal detecting equipment designed for finding small jewelry, I carefully searched the area. Within just a few minutes, I received a promising signal. After a careful recovery, there it was—Kathy’s sentimental stud earring, safely back where it belonged.

Seeing the relief and excitement on Kathy and her family’s faces made the day even more rewarding. Recovering sentimental jewelry is about much more than finding a valuable item—it’s about restoring memories that can’t be replaced.

If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, bracelet, earring, or other precious jewelry on the beach in Ocean City, NJ, don’t wait. The sooner a professional search begins, the better the chances of a successful recovery.

Engagement Ring Lost in the Lake-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Sydnie on Saturday the 4th and she said her friend who was down from Ohio for the 4th had lost her engagement ring in the lake right behind her house. They were floating about fifteen to twenty feet from the dock. Before I could make it over there they had to return home without the ring. I was able to get there for the search on Tuesday. I geared up for the search using my Manticore with the Gray Ghost Amphibian headphones and a sand scoop. Fortunately the water was only around 4 to 4 1/2 feet deep there. The bottom was a very shallow layer of soft mud, maybe less that 2 inches, with a hard pan of clay underneath. That made it difficult to use a sand scoop, but I made it work. Closer in to the dock there was a lot of iron and other debris that made the going slow, but as I got further away from the dock those signals were further in between. The water was deep enough that I couldn’t see the screen on the Manticore, and the lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. After about an hour and a half I was at least twenty feet away from the dock, maybe a little more, and I got the tell tale double beep low tone that was very strong. The lost ring was white gold so I could concentrate on the low tones. I lifted the detector out of the water to see the screen and it said 06 for the target ID. With the hard pan clay down there it took me three attempts to get the target in the scoop, but there it was, a dainty white gold ring.

Wedding Ring Lost During a Water Ballon Fight-Found

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Chris contacted me on Sunday morning and said his wife had lost her ring in the front yard while throwing water ballons on the 4th. He showed me the area they were at so I started there. I was fairly certain that early on in the conversation he said it was white gold, so I was mainly concentrating on shallow low signals. But, after around 30 minutes I got a very strong 72 on the Manticore with the telltale double beep that said it was very shallow or on the surface. A 72 is definately not white gold, but a silver or copper tone, and of course I investigated to see what it would be. It was the lost ring, and after looking at it I saw a 925 inside the band. So it was silver and not white gold. His wife was estatic and said she went to sleep crying the night before. In my book they are newlyweds, only 6 months in. A successful recovery!

Wedding Band Lost While Preparing Raised Plant Bed-Found!

  • from Chattanooga (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

Nick contacted me and said that his wife had lost her wedding band while preparing a raised plant bed, but she wasn’t sure which one. He and his wife has a matching tungsten carbide band set. The first bed I checked had a good signal, but it turned out to be a larger deep signal. The second bed was larger in size, but all of them had galvanized metal sheeting for the side walls. That was a problem, but I managed to work around it. In the second bed I found a signal that was showing a 30 on the Manticore, but was close to the metal side wall so that number may have been skewed. That 30 on the Manticore turned out to be her ring. It was about four inches deep. The total seach time was only about twelve minutes.

Cape Cod – Yarmouth, MA Lost Ring, Found and Returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 1, 2026

Well summer and a heat wave have arrived in time for the 4th of July festivities. Getting a head start, Kevin was testing the water, which was still a bit on the cool side, when his white gold wedding band slipped off his finger to land on the sandy bottom of his condo’s lake. He saw the ring resting and did a shallow dive to retrieve the ring only to have it slip through his fingers and vanish into the sand.

After several tries to re-locate his ring failed he gave up the search. A couple of days later a search on the internet for someone that could help him find his ring. To his credit he chose “TheRingFinders.com” to help in his search. Navigating the home page to the country, state and person he chose to reach out to me.

His call came in as I was heading to a doctor’s appointment, but I would be available around 5pm. I arrived about 4:30, had a brief discussion on where the ring was lost. Then it was out to chest deep water in an area about one quarter of the swimming area. I started covering the area in a grid pattern and after a few passes Kevin said he thought he might have been several yards from his initial recollection. So I move to the new area. And several more minutes of searching I was shown to still another area.

About 10 more minutes passed with only two coins, a fishing weight and two pull tabs in my pouch I started a grid pattern that encompassed all three areas. Another 10 minutes of my detector not giving me a signal to stop and dig, I heard the familiar sound I was listening for, a sharp, repeatable signal and a steady numeric ID number on the detector screen. A single scoop a quick shake to remove the sand from by scoop and I saw the white gold ring. My searching had been completed in about an hour.

All that was left was to take a few pictures, tell a few stories of other returns I have made and I was homeward bound, just in time for dinner.

I will end this story with one tip to those that have read this far and find themselves in a similar predicament as Kevin had been in. And that is to stay in the spot the loss happened, have someone bring you a few coins and drop them in the area your lost item should be. Then call for one of “TheRingFinders” to come and help retrieve your item.

Until then … have a HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Needle in a Haystack in Hillsboro, Alabama… FOUND!

Contact:

Alvintae “Kirk” texted me on Sunday afternoon (June 14, 2026) stating he lost a yellow gold pinky ring with an eagle (not quite a needle, but close, lol) while laying hay in his raised garden beds at his home in Hillsboro, Alabama.  Kirk recently lost some weight, and the ring was fitting him loosely.   This ring was very sentimental to Kirk because it was given to him by his late uncle about a year prior.  Our schedules didn’t line up until Friday, so we set up a search for that morning.

I made the very beautiful and peaceful 55-minute drive to Hillsboro on Friday morning.  After meeting Kirk, I had him walk me through the whole scenario and asked some clarifying questions.  Kirk really felt like his ring fell off into the first of four raised garden beds.  Unfortunately, the raised beds were made out of a thick galvanized steel that rang in around the gold range on my metal detector.  Even turning down the sensitivity didn’t get me as close as I wanted to the sides.  I also checked if I could discriminate out the metal (even though it was reading as non-ferrous) with my Nokta AccuPOINT pinpointer, but that didn’t work.

I asked Kirk to pull out the hay that was on top of the wood logs in the beds.  I would scan the hay piles with my Equinox Minelab 900 as he pulled it out.  Kirk got about ¾ of it out and I went back and scanned over the wood logs that were inside the beds, but I was still getting interference from the steel sides.  We decided to move the entire bed frame siding out of the way, so that I could get an accurate and unmasked reading.  We carefully moved the bed so that we didn’t damage a pretty plant that Kirk’s wife really likes.  As I was detecting over the back part of the remaining hay in the bed area, I received a good, repeatable 25-27 on my Nox.  I told Kirk that this was a very promising tone.  I walked over and took out my Garrett “carrot” pinpointer to narrow down the area.  I got the tone and gently brushed the hay away and there was that glimmer of gold-on-gold staring back at us!  We both let out some shouts of joy and immediately thanked the good Lord.  Kirk was so excited, relieved, and thankful that his uncle’s ring was found.

We took some photos and chatted for a few minutes before I was back on the road, headed home to Huntsville.  I’m truly blessed that I get to be a blessing to others.  Until the next one, please take care and God bless…

Lost Nexklace recovered from the Ocean, Avon NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Ring Finder LBI Julia contacted me about her husband, Trevor, who had lost his necklace while enjoying a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore.

Trevor was out in the water when he ducked under a wave and suddenly felt his necklace flip right over his head. He popped back up in a panic and immediately started searching, but the surf and waves made it impossible to find. That’s when Julia reached out to me.

I asked quite a few questions, and fortunately Trevor had a very good idea of where he was standing when it happened. There was a rope line separating the swimming area from the jetty, and he was confident he had been no farther than the third buoy and within about 10 to 15 feet of it. That narrowed the search area down considerably.

I wasn’t able to get there until later in the day after the swimmers had cleared out and the tide was approaching low. I started searching the north side of the rope and worked the area thoroughly, but I wasn’t getting any promising signals.

As I looked out, I noticed the rope had a significant bow in it from the force of the tide and current. That made me rethink exactly where Trevor would have been standing when the necklace came off. I moved closer to the bowed section of the rope and began searching again.

Almost immediately, I got that sweet signal.

The tone was stronger than I expected, and I had a pretty good feeling I knew why. A few scoops later, I saw the glimmer in my scoop—Trevor’s necklace! And attached to it was his wedding ring, which he had been wearing on the chain. That extra gold explained the beautiful signal I had heard.

Within moments, what had been a stressful day at the beach turned into a celebration. Trevor and Julia were thrilled to have such an important piece of jewelry back in their hands, and I was happy to help make it happen.

Another successful Jersey Shore recovery for Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder—helping reunite people with the things that matter most.
