Lost Gold Wedding Band and Jesus Medallion Recovered on Stone Harbor Beach, NJ
A Stone Harbor beachgoer lost his gold wedding band and Jesus medallion in the sand. Ring Finders South Jersey recovered both items within minutes.
Jake had just finished setting up his cool cabana on Stone Harbor Beach, New Jersey.
He sat down and removed his gold chain, wedding band, and Jesus medallion.
He carefully placed the jewelry down for safekeeping.
Unfortunately, both his wedding band and Jesus medallion fell into the sand.
Jake immediately realized something was wrong.
He searched the area for about 10 minutes.
Despite his efforts, he could not locate either valuable item.
A Stone Harbor lifeguard noticed Jake searching through the sand.
The lifeguard told him, “I got a guy.”
He recommended calling John with Ring Finders South Jersey.
A Quick Response to a Stone Harbor Jewelry Loss
Jake contacted me, and I gathered the details about where the jewelry was lost.
I arrived at the Stone Harbor beach location approximately 15 minutes later.
Finding recently lost jewelry requires careful attention to the search area.
Sand can quickly hide small gold items.
People searching by hand can easily overlook a ring or pendant.
I began searching the area with my professional metal detector.
After a few swings, I received promising signals.
I then started a methodical grid search around the suspected drop zone.
This systematic approach helps ensure the search area receives thorough coverage.
Within minutes, I recovered Jake’s gold wedding band.
I continued searching for the second item.
The Jesus medallion was also recovered from the sand.
Both sentimental pieces were safely back with their owner.
A Five-Star Stone Harbor Review
Jake was extremely happy to have both items returned.
He later left this five-star review:
“Looked for my ring and pendant for 10 minutes with zero luck. Called John and he was super responsive and quick to our spot on Stone Harbor beach. He found both pieces which were pretty well buried in the sand in less than 5 minutes. If you lose something at the beach, just call John!”
Stories like Jake’s show why contacting a professional quickly can make a difference.
Searching a beach alone can be frustrating, especially when jewelry is buried beneath loose sand.

Huge gold tungsten ring found Delor-wiggins pass returned
August 9, 2026
After spending the afternoon on the beach and waiting for another beautiful sunset, they suddenly found themselves running back to the car as they sought shelter from the approaching thunderstorm. That’s when Michael noticed that his ring wasn’t on his finger, the same one he’d so carefully paced on the edge of his towel earlier before going swimming. Returning to the beach that evening and first thing the next morning to look for the ring produced no results. A quick Google search revealed the solution…call Mark for “it’s only lost until you call!” The rest is history. A thorough search of about a 1/4 mile of beach finally yielded the prize, a huge gold tungsten ring.

Late last night I got a text from Steve who was camping at ThorneHill Broome Beach just north of Malibu. He and his wife had been stargazing on the sand when he went to get up and as he did his platinum ring fell off and buried itself in the dry sand. It was late, it was dark and searching was futile so Steve did the next best thing and searched the internet and found Dave The RingFinder. I messaged him back that I would be there bright and early the next morning and get his ring back to him so he could enjoy the rest of his camping stay.
I met Steve at 6:45am at the picnic table area where the loss occurred. The problem of finding his ring became apparent almost immediately in that picnic tables at beaches in Southern California are loaded with every bit of metal trash there is. Pull-tabs, rusty bottle caps, chunks of aluminum foil and items burned from fires long ago where all throughout the sand where the ring was lost. This was going to be hunt where I needed to eliminate as much trash as possible so I could actually hear his ring. Scoop after scoop of metal junk came out and finally I had the ability to listen for his ring and within a minute or two I got the sound I was looking for and Steve’s ring was in my scoop and going back to him! Another ring saved in Malibu by Dave The RingFinder.

Red Deer Wedding Ring was lost but now found.
She called me. Quite sad that her wedding ring set was lost while playing soccer. She had done everything she could to find it. After that she called me. Check out the video for the whole story and a great reaction. So appreciative.

iPhone Recovered from Lake Mary in Twin Lakes, WI
iPhone Recovered… and Dry
Mike called me on Friday, August 7, 2026, hoping my skills might be helpful in recovering his lost iPhone from Lake Mary in Twin Lakes, WI. Helping navigate a boat to the docking station with the light from his phone the night before, a mishap landed it in the water. Would I be able to find it still dry and working? Modern iPhones like the iPhone 17 carry an IP68 rating, allowing it to be submerged about 19.6 feet for up to 30 minutes. The conditions in Lake Mary were less than six feet, but by the time I was able to arrive on Friday, it would be close to the 24-hour mark. I was anxious to get in the water and see if I could find his phone.

Mike was unable to meet me, but his friend Mark met me and walked me through the situation. I was relieved to find Lake Mary shallow, seaweed-free, and with some visibility. I started a grid search from one end of the pier back to the docking station: 20 feet one direction, 20 back, repeat. The area did not have an overwhelming number of metal targets, but I dug each sound I heard, making sure I didn’t miss the phone. It might be hidden by the 1-2 inches of silt covering the bottom, I thought.
My horizontal grid search did not reveal the phone, and after about an hour underwater, I was concerned the encroaching darkness of the already cloudy day might end my search. I switched to the vertical lines of my grid, and pushed deeper into the lake than I had with my horizontal grid. About 18 minutes later, a simultaneous sound and sight brought an underwater cheer that only I heard. There it was, screen down on top of the silt, the green rectangular case clearly visible. It was lost in a depth of about five feet.

I stood up and looked toward the house. A group of friends was gathered for dinner, and I could hear music. I held the phone high into the air and waited to see if anyone noticed. A chorus of cheers sounded. “He found it!” one voice called out.
Not knowing if the iPhone might malfunction if I tried turning it on, I decided to let Mike take the next steps. I left the phone with Mark and headed home.
The next morning, I received the text I was hoping for. A photo of Mike with a dry and working phone. His text said, “We are alive and working perfectly. Another successful mission!”
If you or someone you know has lost a phone, ring, or other jewelry item, please call. The smiles I enjoy when returning lost items are one of the best parts of what I do.
Quick Ring Recovery – Crystal Beach Ontario
When my phone rang and I saw the number was from Switzerland, I almost didn’t answer. I’m sure glad I did.
On the other end was a woman visiting Canada who had just lost a very special ring while swimming at one of our local beaches. Luckily, she was nearby, so we grabbed our gear and headed over right away.
After a short search in the water, we got the signal we were hoping for. The ring was found and safely returned to a very relieved and happy owner.
Sometimes the calls you almost don’t answer turn into the best recoveries!
