Lost a ring? Call now? 215-850-0188 

It was a sunny Friday afternoon in North Wildwood, NJ when Dana’s beach day took an unexpected turn. What started as a fun and relaxing time with friends quickly became a moment of panic and heartbreak all over one small, but very meaningful item: her gold high school class ring.

The class ring was lost in the sand in North Wildwood NJ

Dana had been standing near the dunes, to talk to some friends and something happened. As Dana threw her hands into the air to wave with excitement. In that exact moment, the ring slipped right off her finger and disappeared into the sand. “I felt it leave my hand,” Dana told me. “It was like slow motion. I looked down, and it was gone. Just gone. “The group immediately began combing the area with their hands, digging and searching. But as anyone who’s lost jewelry on the beach knows, the sand has a way of swallowing things whole.

After several frustrating minutes, Dana’s friend remembered hearing about professional metal detectorists who help recover lost items on the beach. A quick search brought her to RingFindersSouthJersey.com, and her friend called me John Favano right away. I answered immediately, asked a few questions, and told I told her I was already close by and would be there in about 15 minutes. I arrived with my metal detector and experience.

After asking Dana to point out the area she was standing and which way she waved, I scanned the area for no more than five minutes before the metal detector got a strong signal. One scoop of sand later and there it was. Dana’s gold class ring, still glinting in the sunlight. “Dana couldn’t believe it. I was shocked. I thought it was gone forever,” Dana said. “John is amazing at what he does. I’m so thankful my friend found him. ”Stories like Dana’s happen more often than most people think, especially on busy beaches during the summer.

Men’s Gold Wedding Band Lost While Swimming in Booneville, MS… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

I received a call and text on Sunday (June 22nd, 2025) afternoon from Taylor stating he lost his wedding band while swimming in a pond on his family’s property in Booneville, Mississippi.  I was traveling for work training during the week and told Taylor that I would give him a call after I de-planed.  Taylor told me that he felt his wedding band slip off his finger in about 3-4 feet of water when he was about 10-15 yards from the shoreline.  He was helping his kids out of the deeper end.  I told him that I didn’t get back to Huntsville, AL until Friday, but I would be more than happy to conduct a search on the weekend.  We setup a 9am meetup time on Saturday, June 28th.

I met Taylor in Booneville after a beautiful drive 2 hour and 15-minute drive through the Alabama and Mississippi countryside.  He helped me take my water detecting gear down to the pond.  I got in the water and had Taylor direct me to where he thought his ring came off.  I put in my marker pole and went back to the shoreline for my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil and long handled Xtreme scoop.  Taylor went inside the house and I started searching in the water.

On my walk out to the marker pole I found a penny.  Then, when I was about 1-2 feet from the pole on the left side I received a nice sounding tone on my Nox.  It took about 5 tries until I could get the target in my scoop, because the water was up to my chin and I was slightly buoyant from my wetsuit bottoms.  The pond bottom was a soft mud.  Once I confirmed that I had the item in my scoop, I walked over to the shallow end to shake out the mud.  I soon saw a gold ring glimmering back up at me — we had Taylor’s wedding band!  I took out the ring just as Taylor’s mother-in-law, Jenny and Taylor’s wife, Brooke we’re walking outside.  Taylor followed behind.  I held it up for them to see and we all cheered!  I looked up to the sky and said, “thank you, God!”

I walked to the shoreline to hand Taylor his ring and the family dog, Loki was there to greet me and celebrate.  Taylor and his family were so grateful for the help and told me how much it meant to them.  Taylor and Brooke had just gotten married on November 16th.  I told them that helping others and seeing the joyful reactions is the reason why I do this.  I give God all the glory.

Taylor invited me in for some coffee and Jenny offered some delicious homemade breakfast – biscuits and gravy (what I wanted all week lol), eggs, and a porkchop.  I graciously accepted.  Jenny’s husband, Darryl had just arrived home and we all enjoyed a nice conversation.  We then said our good-byes and I was back on the road headed home to Huntsville.  Until the next one… please take care and God bless!

Bracelet lost on the beach, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Around lunchtime, I received a call from Kim, requesting help to find a bracelet lost on the beach. Unfortunately, I missed the call as I was out on the beach as well, enjoying the beautiful day, with family and friends. The Jersey Shore location has limited cell phone signal capabilities unfortunately . I called Kim back as soon as I could. She explained that her son, Liam, had been playing soccer with his nephews and nieces when he noticed his bracelet was missing. The bracelet was irreplaceable, purchased in the Virgin Islands years ago. She asked if I could come down to the beach to search, and I agreed, telling her to have Liam mark off the area with chairs or blankets to keep people from sitting there.

I planned to meet them later in the evening, around dinner time, which worked fine for Kim. When I arrived, Liam met me at the dune walkover. I was initially a bit concerned since items lost while playing sports on the beach can sometimes cover an vast area. Luckily, Liam’s soccer buddies were much younger, keeping the playing area relatively small, about a 50×50 foot section. I asked Liam where he thought the most likely spot the bracelet might have come off, and he pointed to far end of the area.

I started my search on the far end, and nearly completed the whole section when I decided to widen the search by about five feet. Shortly after, I got a solid signal and sure enough, it was  Liam’s bracelet. Liam hadn’t noticed that I found the bracelet, so I walked over to him, to confirm that the location was in fact the right spot. He looked around and said without a doubt, this was right where they were. That’s when I decided to make the reveal, showing him the bracelet in my scoop. He was absolutely thrilled to see it, as this bracelet had some strong sentimental memories.

How to find a gold necklace with a metal detector in a lagoon, Beach Haven West NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Lost Necklace Recovered in the Lagoon Just Before Checkout!

I got a call from Matt, who had just wrapped up a relaxing week at the Jersey Shore. As he and his friends were packing up to leave, disaster struck—he dove off the bulkhead earlier that morning and felt his necklace slip right off, dropping straight down into the lagoon between the jet ski dock and the bulkhead.

He found my page and reached out in hopes that I could help, even though they had to check out by noon. I told him I’d rearrange my plans and head over immediately.

When I arrived, Matt showed me exactly where it happened. I got right to work, but the bottom was a mess—old bulkhead parts, a tree stump, and storm debris made swinging my detector tough. With so much metal interference from years of boating and water activities, it was slow going. The water was deep, the sun was blazing, and I was starting to think a dive with my handheld detector might be the only way.

Just as I was about to call it quits, I caught a solid signal—one that stood out from the usual noise. It took several tricky scoops, but then… success! Matt’s beautiful necklace was sitting in my scoop.

I handed up my gear, climbed out of the murky water, and joined the celebration on the dock. Matt and his friends were beyond thrilled, and the joy on their faces made every minute of the struggle worth it. After some happy chatting, they headed off with smiles and one last great memory of their vacation on the Jersey Shore.

LOST A RING?

DON’T WAIT

CALL JOHN

215-850-0188

I had just finished an engagement ring recovery in Ocean City, NJ. As I was packing up my gear, the phone rang. It was Annie, who had posted on Facebook that her daughter, Nia, had lost a sentimental gold cross on the beach while watching the sunrise. I told Jackie that I was only ten minutes away and offered to give it a try. Nia wasn’t sure exactly where the cross had come off, so I knew it might be a longshot. Undeterred, I headed to their location.

 

When I arrived, Nia gave me more details about where she had been sitting. With that information in mind, I started the search from the beach entrance and worked my way down towards the water. After crossing the entrance mat, I got a nice tone on my metal detector! I dug into the sand, and my heart raced as I saw the glint of gold. It was the cross! I called out to Nia, and as I handed her the cross, I could see the joy and relief in her eyes. She was so happy to have her beloved cross back. It was a great day in Ocean City, NJ, and I was thrilled to have made it a little brighter for Nia and her mom.

Lost necklace found with metal detector, Harvey Cedars NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

  A little something different. This is the nicest review I have ever received. Its from Rachel, who contacted me after her father George, lost his family heirloom necklace he had worn for 50 years. 

Long post incoming:

Yesterday we had our first beach day of vacation. As long as I’ve seen my dad, he’s worn his gold chain with two pendants, the immaculate conception and head of Christ. It’s hung around his neck for 50 years and was given to him by my grandmother.

We spent hours enjoying the beach before the annual LBI Lifeguard Races began and hundreds of people gathered over the area where we were sitting. It had to be around 6 pm when my dad realized his chain was missing from the side compartment of his beach chair. We looked and looked but there were so many people it was impossible.

I swear we all went to sleep with a gloom over us because this chain held so much importance.

The next day, I woke up early to drive back to the beach and look. No luck. After hours of time gone by, countless Facebook posts — I finally had locals recommend I call Edward Trapper, the NJ Ring Finder, known for his unwavering tenacity and success in finding lost treasures.

In less than 20 minutes, I drove down to the beach to meet Ed and his wife. Ed was eager to hear the background history of this chain, and the story it held.

For 45 minutes, he scoured the beach, meticulously covering every single inch of sand. He went above and beyond, but the chain was nowhere to be found. We decided to call it quits.

While walking up the ramp and off the beach, he turns to me and says,
“What are the odds it’s up here on the ramp somewhere? Let me try one last time. I’d hate to leave without finding it.”

Slowly, he walked down the ramp, the metal detector sweeping back and forth. Out of nowhere — ¾ the way down the ramp — the machine beeped, a clear, strong signal. He pushed in his scooper, sifting through the sand, and there it was—my father’s gold chain, buried by the side of the dune.

When I tell you we both screamed in joy… I was absolutely speechless.

Ed, I am so thankful for you and how generous you are. You truly have made this a story I will never forget. Your hard work and dedication is incredible.

Melissa sent me a message in a bit of a panic—her husband Ed had just lost his wedding ring on the beach and she wanted to know if I was available to help. They were sitting right there when he realized the ring was gone. One moment he had it, and the next, it had vanished into the sand.

In less than five minutes, I heard the satisfying clink of metal in my scoop. The ring was safely recovered, much to their relief. Another fantastic recovery on the Jersey Shore !!
