I received a call on Friday (August 29th, 2025) in the late afternoon from Gabby. Gabby’s engagement ring was lost the night before in the front yard at her home in Huntsville, Alabama and she was hoping I could help her find it. Gabby and her fiancé, Matthew had bought a metal detector, but were unable to find Gabby’s engagement ring, which was a family heirloom – it was Matthew’s grandmother’s ring. I initially suggested the next morning for a search, but both Gabby and Matthew had to work, so I said I would head out after dinner.
About an hour and a half after Gabby’s call, I headed out for the search. I met Gabby at her home and I had her show me the area she thought her ring was lost at. Gabby also showed me a picture of what the gold engagement ring looked like. I told her she was welcome to go back in the house to relax and I would get to work, letting her know how the search went. I was using my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil. I cleared the main area in the front yard and expanded further to the right side, but didn’t find the ring. I double checked the main area and expanded my grid to the left side. I was a few feet from the street, when I hit a good tone and saw the outline of a gold ring emerge from the green grass. It was Gabby’s engagement ring! Praise the Lord!!
I snapped a few photos of the ring and went to knock on the door to tell Gabby the great news. Both Gabby and Matthew were so happy and relieved to hear that the ring was found! Smiles all around 😊 and the reason I do what I do!















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.
