Search Locations

All Ocean/Monmouth County beaches including, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Belmar, Seagirt, Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach, Lavallette, Ortley, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, Loveladies, Harvey Cedars, North, Beach, Surf City, Ship Bottom, Brant Beach, Beach Haven, and Holgate.

    I was so happy I found Ed. I first rented a metal detector ourselves and still could not find it. Three of us were searching in the grass with this ring for hours. I did not want to give up and decided to go online and search to rent a better metal detector and came across New Jersey Ring Finder. I placed a call and Ed was ready to come out within the hour. He searched for about 45 minutes and came up short and then finally we decided to search the area where we did not think it was and YAY. He found it.

  • Thank God for Ed! (2023)

    Item

    I am so grateful to Ed Trapper from Ring Finders. My husband bought our son a caduceus ring for his graduation from medical school. My husband recently died so losing this ring in over 5 feet of ocean water crushed both my son and I. Thank God for Ed! He went into the ocean hours later and retrieved the ring. Ed brought back happiness to our family. XOXO

    Edward is the best! Not only did he come out and help me dig the first night – he offered to come back the following day and look again! He explained exactly what he was doing and walked me thru the whole process. A master of his craft and an awesome guy! Would never call anyone else again to locate my lost items.
