2 Lost Diamond & Gold Rings, FOUND! Cape May Point, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag


June 25, 2025
With sunshine and high temperatures the desire to “Go to the Beach” to cool off is a prime cause for more rings to be “lost” and the need for a member of TheRingFinders.com to find the lost ring.
Jon found himself in just that situation on the 24th. As the tide was rising he and Kaden, his son, dug a hole on the sand bar. Then today Jon called for help. Within 2 hours I was ready for another search. I arrived an hour early due to the lack of beach traffic. Jon had left the beach to run an errand, leaving Kaden to show me the hole. I was glad to have a guide, otherwise I might still be looking for the correct area to search. At the hole which was the point were the loss was to have occurred. I started to drag my scoop to line a box in the sand. I had gone about 15 to 20 steps before getting a signal. One shallow scoop and I had the wayward ring. Now all I had to do was wait for Jon’s return.
When Jon showed up I went to shake his hand. He felt the ring and could not believe I had found it and he quickly put it back on were it belonged and gave me a big hug.
Lesson learned: Always leave a good, lasting impression. In this case there were two, the hole in the sand and a big hug.

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.

The warm temperatures and bright sunshine had brought quite a crowd to Cape Cod’s beautiful beaches. One such fun seeker was Charlie who hails from England and drove his mother’s car to the beach. It was a wonderful experience, soft sand, good friends all enjoying the day…until it was time to leave. A frantic search started for the missing car fob, without it there was no way home.
The search for the fob failed and an internet search for a metal detectorist that could help. TheRingFinders.com showed up on the search results and Luke was the closest. Luke had another commitment and reached out to me. As luck would have it, I had just returned home from returning a lost/found wedding band and I could leave immediately.
The short story is I met Charlie and his friends in the parking lot, walked to the area where he had spent the afternoon. The area marked out for me was relatively small and in less than five minutes the fob was in my scoop, we were heading back to the parking lot and then onto home. The next day was to be even better weather wise and of course, to find a more secure place to put the car fob while on the sands of Cape Cod.
