Lost Wedding Ring Found in NJ

  • from Madison (New Jersey, United States)

MADISON, N.J. — When Kelly’s husband took their dog out for a run this weekend, his ring felt a bit loose. After walking through some high weeds along a trail, he realized the ring had slipped off.

Kelly messaged me to see if could locate the ring, luckily, her husband was able to pinpoint an approximate location in the weeds where the ring was lost.

Kelly holds up her husband’s ring found by NJ Ringfinder, Bill Leasure. The ring was lost when her husband was walking their dog near an area with high grass.

A gold and silver wedding ring lost by a couple in Madison, NJ is revealed under a pile of grass by Ringfinder, Bill Leasure.

Ringfinder, Bill Leasure holds a lost wedding ring pulled from high grass after it was lost by a local NJ man walking his dog.

After several minutes of searching for the gold and silver ring, a strong tone was detected beneath some high weeds. Moving the pinpointer into the grass, a solid signal was found. After sifting through the grass for a couple minutes, the ring was found right where they thought it had been lost. So happy to return this ring to their family.

Necklace lost in lake, Metal Detector near me, Egg Harbor City NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Karla sent me an email asking if I could help find her necklace, which had been lost in the lake a few days earlier. After gathering the details, she seemed confident I could assist. We arranged to meet after dinner on a day that worked for both of us.
I arrived early and waded into the cold lake water to begin my search. Starting in knee-deep water, I planned to work my way deeper if needed. When Karla arrived a short while later, we confirmed that the area I was searching was a good spot. She was certain the necklace had fallen off somewhere within a 50-foot section. So, path by path, I combed through the water, moving deeper each time—eventually up to my chest—without detecting much.
I started to wonder if someone else with a metal detector had already been there. Then, suddenly, my detector gave off a signal. This time, I was almost certain it was Karla’s necklace. Moments later, I scooped it up.
I made my way back to shore slowly, keeping my head down, not wanting to give anything away just yet. Karla and her friend were waiting, and from the look on her face, she seemed to think I was about to give up. But when I held up the scoop and told her to take a look, her eyes lit up instantly. Tears of joy rolled down her face as she realized her necklace was found.
We talked for a while, and she shared some of the history behind the necklace. It was clear how much it meant to her. Another recovery in the books for the 2024 season.

Lost Platinum Trio Bridal Set Rings Found in White Lake Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Out of Pocket…..

….. Is a phrase that’s been around awhile and usually the first thing that comes to mind of what it is, is perhaps paying your upfront share for a script, or an auto/home deductible claim. But none of these examples were on Curt’s mind other than wondering if he would need to pay for another ring out of pocket for his wife’s ring that went missing. It all started when his wife Kat took the dog out for an evening walk. Planning a long walk, she took all the things to clean up after the dog and put them in her pockets. Strolling across the wet grass in the yard they set out onto the pavement. Upon returning it started to rain so she started to jog and nearing the house she pulled her keys out of her pocket. After drying off she noticed her ring missing. Checking the pavement areas after the rain stopped brought no luck. I decided to grid search the front yard with my MXT metal detector where she thought they cut across upon leaving and returning. The grass was thick, but no junk signals were detected. Out near the edge of the grass I got a loud signal and meter read that I knew was something good. Pinpointing the signal and pushing the grass out of the way revealed Kat’s ring! Curt and Kat came running over and couldn’t believe that’s where it was! For the first time in their lives this out-of-pocket loss had a 100% return!

Wedding Ring lost in the sand, Surf City NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, the perfect opportunity for Lisa and her friends to enjoy some time at the beach. What they didn’t plan for, however, was losing her rings in the soft, sugar-like sand so typical of these beaches. After searching for a while with no luck, someone in the group suggested calling NJ Ring Finder for help. Having heard about many successful recoveries on Long Beach Island and nearby areas, they were hopeful it wouldn’t be a wasted call.

Once I got the call, we arranged to meet shortly after. As I walked down the dune path towards the beach, I saw the group gathered in a large circle around their chairs, securing the area where the rings were lost. After a quick conversation to get the details, I got to work, carefully moving my metal detector’s coil back and forth across the sand.

Within just a few passes, the detector gave off a low, steady tone. I had a strong feeling this was it, and sure enough, BINGO—it was her ring! Everyone was amazed at how quickly the recovery happened.

Another successful search in the books. I love this job—saving vacations and creating lasting memories!

Engagement Ring lost on the beach, Ship Bottom NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was a beautiful day when Shari and her friends decided to spend some time at the beach. Not long into their day, Shari had a little mishap that would lead to me recovering her beautiful ring. It had disappeared into the soft, white sand of the Jersey Shore. After searching for quite some time, Shari realized it was time to call a professional.
I had just received another call for a ring recovery, but it was in the dry sand, with no danger of being lost to the rising tide. Shari’s ring, however, was right near the high-tide line, and she was worried it would be swept away. I assured her I would get there as soon as possible and decided to prioritize her recovery to beat the tide. I sent her my ETA, and just before I arrived, she informed me that both calls were actually for the same ring. I hadn’t even looked at the other pin location—I just knew both were in Beach Haven, LBI.
Well, all’s well that ends well. Shari’s ring was in my scoop within a minute or so. You may be wondering about the conflicting stories. Both were true: the ring was in the dry sand, with no real danger of the tide taking it. But in Shari’s eyes, since it was so close to the high-tide line, she believed it was at risk of being washed away. Two different perspectives, but both valid.

Lost and found Rolex watch in Rideau river Ottawa

  • from Cobourg (Ontario, Canada)

Today was a very special recovery and a four weeks in the making. Chris was swimming in the Rideau river. As he slowly let himself go from the ladder off the back deck, the clasp of his heirloom Rolex watch came undone and watched in horror as the watch slip off his hand and sank into the water. This special watch was purchased by his mom, and given to his dad to celebrate his retirement after 33 years of loyal service with the Canadian Navy. It was given to Chris when his father passed. After having Scuba divers try to find the watch, on three separate occasions and some with underwater metal detectors, he started to loose hope of ever seing his watch again. Fortunately, he was able to put me within a twenty foot radius of where he believed the watch had fallen into the water. Unfortunately, had to deal with about five inches of silt which brings visibility to zero once you start swinging your coil. But, after finding multiple various metal items, I was finally able to feel the watch with my fingers under the coil of my detector. After surfacing, I was able to give Chris his father’s watch and get it back on his wrist. He was extremely happy and emotional and was a great moment for all. Another happy and special recovery. Life is good!

 

Bangle Bracelet lost in the sand, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

I notice a text from Christopher requesting some help in locating Sandra’s David Yurman bracelet she had somehow lost on the beach in LBI the day before. They were not exactly positive that it was lost on the beach, but figured it was the most likely place it could be. The day before Sandra and some friends were doing some whale watching from the beach, and getting some excellent drone footage of the whales at the same time. That made me just a little nervous, as the whales move rather quickly up and down the beach, and it was very possible Sandra did the same. We arranged to meet at the house and walked up to the beach, while we discussed exactly what area they had spent most of the day prior. I asked Christopher to walk in front of me to box out the spot, as I followed behind, dragging my sand scoop around the perimeter.  It was just a short while later, right in front of a group of people, that actually follow NJ Ring Finder on Facebook, where my metal detector got a loud signal, consistent with the bangle bracelet. Sure enough, It was Sandra’s bracelet, safe in my sand scoop, after spending two days buried in the Jersey Shore sand. Another near tragedy turned into memories !!!!

Cartier Trinity Ring found with Metal Detector, Cape May NJ (Higbee Beach) recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore, so why not take your dog to the beach??? After all, they love the water just as much as humans. And thats exactly what Lucy did that morning after she woke up. It was quite a few hours later that Lucy had a horrible mishap that you would wish on nobody !!!! She was throwing her dogs toy straight out into the water, when he beautiful Carter Trinity Rings flew off he finger.  At that point she went into panic mode as many do, and began franticly searching without any luck. After about an hour she reached out to me. After getting all the details we had to act quickly, as the tide was coming in fast, do to the full moon. Once I arrived, she showed me the spot she believed the rings flew off, and I quickly got to work. I went out deep to start, knowing it would be over my head shortly. Having no luck, I worked 50′ paths back in to about knee deep water. Knowing time was running out, I went back out to about waist deep water. The greenhead fly’s were really having their feast on my upper body, so patients were growing very short. Making short sweeps, from waist to knee deep water, to expand my  search area, to see if possibly they flew off to the side a bit. After about 25′ more feet to the south, BINGO !!!!! I got a fantastic hit, which I prayed was not a sinker or military debris, as this particular is littered with. After shaking out all the fine particles from my scoop, there, in the corner under a few shells, were Lucy’s rings. With a sigh of relief, I slowly walked out of the water, telling Lucy  I was getting eaten alive. She looked very disappointed, figuring I was giving up, I told her to take a look into my scoop. Its at that very moment that makes doing this so so rewarding ! The emotions really tell a story of their own.

Lost and found gold ring at Buckhorn lake in Ontario

  • from Cobourg (Ontario, Canada)

My travels today took me to Buckhorn lake area. Received a text from Gerrard about Katie loosing her gold ring, with opal, last weekend at the family cottage during a bachelorette weekend party. She was swimming in only about three feet of water when all of the sudden, she felt her ring slip off her finger. Once I arrived at the cottage, a lady that was there last weekend was able to direct me in the water to where she believed Katie lost her ring. I turned on my underwater metal detector, did a couple swing and right away I heard a great signal. Looked in my scoop and there was her ring. No Scuba diving, no weeds and hardly any silt to contend with. The best part, Gerrard is headed back home to Hamilton this evening and will be returning the ring to Katie. She has no idea that he contacted me or the fac that her ring has been found. Another great recovery. I wish they could all be this easy. Life is good!
