Grace contacted me after having lost her phone the night before in the sand at the beach. My hopes weren’t high because I know the beach is machine cleaned often, but she said it was still showing it was there on her app. We arranged to meet for the search, and I was on my way.

When I got there Grace met me, and took me out to the area where she had been the night before, and where the phone was signaling from. I turned my machine on, and it took all of 30 seconds to find her phone under about 3 inches of sand. She was happy to have it back, and this made her vacation from Indiana complete; so glad to help.

Little Egg Harbor NJ, Heirloom Ring lost in Lagoon, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Kyle initially contacted another local ring finder about his wife’s rings, which had been dropped into a lagoon a day or two earlier. Since he wasn’t in the area, the call was referred to me. After speaking with Kyle, he explained that his wife had taken off her rings while in the water, right by the ladder, and as she was handing them up, they slipped out of her hand and sank into the lagoon.

Once I learned the location, I knew this recovery would be particularly challenging. The mud in that area of New Jersey is black, soft, and essentially bottomless. It’s critical to take proper precautions, as working in those conditions can be dangerous.

When I arrived, I got straight to work, carefully scanning the area with my metal detector to identify promising signals before digging into the thick, black, pudding-like mud. After about 30 minutes of searching, I successfully recovered one of the rings. I continued looking for another hour but couldn’t find the others.

Fortunately, the ring I found was the family heirloom—the one they were most eager to get back. The black mud can be incredibly tricky, as items tend to sink quickly, and I suspect that’s what happened to the remaining rings. Nonetheless, they were relieved to have recovered the most sentimental piece.

Yardwork & Christmas Lights Equals Lost Ring in Cinnaminson NJ. Found by Dave Milsted

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

Sara called me, asking for help to find her husband’s gold wedding ring. She found me on the Ring Finder’s website. He had spent the entire day working in the yard—cleaning out the gutters, raking leaves, and putting up Christmas lights. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t locate the ring. With only about an hour of daylight left, I headed over to assist.

When I arrived, Devon was still searching for the ring. There was a massive pile of leaves at the curb, scheduled for pickup that week, so I began my search there. Unfortunately, I had no luck.

Next, we moved to the flower beds under the gutter. I received a strong signal under a small bush. Despite not seeing the ring on the ground, the signal was promising. Using my pinpointer, I discovered the signal was coming from within the bush.

It turned out that when the ring slipped off Devon’s hand, it landed in the bush and got hooked on one of the branches. The ring, a beautiful yellow-gold piece, held significant sentimental value as it belonged to Devon’s great-grandfather.

I love my hobby!

Testimony

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Evan tried several times to find the rings but, unfortunately, there was no luck so I started to accept the fate and that we have lost them forever.
All of a sudden, Evan reached me out again saying that after making some calls, there was a slight chance to have found the rings so I could not believe it.
It turned out that someone, the day after rings were lost, turned them into Canmore Municipal Enforcement office. Evan connected me with them.  After a couple of verifications, we could confirm that, indeed, there were the rings we lost.
I was thrilled after hearing such news, but I decided not to tell my wife because I wanted to surprise her. She was so sad and so disappointed when she lost them that I knew she would be so excited when she found out.
I contacted a company to pick up the rings and bring them back to Spain and, after submitting a lot of documents to clear the items in customs, rings finally arrived.
When my wife came back from work that day I gave them the rings and, when she realized, her face changed in a blink of an eye. She was so happy and so excited that I was even moved. She felt somehow “guilty” for losing them and having the opportunity to recover the rings back I think it was a relief for her.
A beautiful end to a outstanding trip!

Mother’s Ring Lost in the Dry Sand While Throwing a Football, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

I received a message from Tina on Nov 30th, around 9:40 pm inquiring about help finding a lost ring. She text and also included a post she had made on a Myrtle Beach Lost and Found FB group. The text read “I am at Dunes Village till Sunday. I lost my mother’s ring 6 diamond in birthstone colors, had names also. I would love to find it. I was throwing a football in front of Dunes Village around 5 pm today. If you can help, I’m here until Sunday at 11am.” The post she made had a little more information and details, it read in part, “It was my Christmas present I had just gotten like two weeks ago from my boyfriend. It has 6 names also engraved in it.” I text her back and told her I could be there at about 10 in the morning and ask if she could meet me to show me the area. She agreed on the time and meeting up.

This morning, we met as planned and Tina showed me the area. The area consisted of dry sand, so I knew anything with any weight to it would quickly disappear in the sand. She had taken a good visual of where she was the day before. She lined me up straight out from a blue awning on the side of the resort and I turned on my Nox 800. I started south of the awning doing an east/west grid working my way north. Tina said her ring was silver, so I knew I was looking for a VDI (visual display indicator) number in the low to mid 20 range. I got a hit with a VDI of 24, which turned out to be a dime. The next signal I got was 22 bouncing back and forth to 23. The Nox was also showing that it was a shallow target. I was pretty sure I had Tina’s ring. I dug some sand out, checked the hole and had the target in the scoop. I gently shook out the scoop and saw the beautiful ring lying at the bottom of the scoop. I blew the sand off the ring, turned to Tina holding the ring up and said, “got it!” She stood there in disbelief and asked, “is it my ring?” I think she had come to believe the ring was gone forever. I love the looks I get when I hand somebody back their lost item.

Tina – Thank you so much for trusting me to help find your lost treasure and get it back where it belongs. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe trip home.

Jim
