Two weeks ago I received a call from Rich around 8pm while he was on his way home from Cape May. Rich explained that he was out enjoying a day on the bay when a squall came in that afternoon causing him to abruptly pack up and head for his car. In the process he dropped his gold chain and medallion which were given to him by his late parents. Rich expressed his concern and urgency to attempt to recover this item. When Rich called, I was out to dinner with family, but after gathering some location details I decided that I would try for his chain that same evening once we returned back home. One of the more difficult aspects of this recovery was the location. Rich had parked at the end of New England Road and walked about 1 & 1/2 miles along the bay to where he set up. Luckily he snapped a photo and I was able to find the area he was sitting based upon the drift wood in the photo Rich sent. After arriving to the area around 11pm that evening, the chain and medallion was recovered shortly there after. I kept Rich’s chain in safe keeping until he was able to come back down to pick up his chain. Rich asked for his photo to be excluded from the post, but see his review below. Another happy customer!
” I can’t thank Jeff enough for his diligence in going out the beach at 11pm on a stormy night to find my chain and medallion for me, forever grateful! “

Wedding Band Recovered in the Gulf

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Jason asked if I could look for his wedding band that he was sure was lost forever. Gave it a 3% chance of finding but had me look anyway for closure. He estimated it was lost on a sandbar in the gulf about 50 feet off shore and within a 250 linear foot sandbar. I Started a grid and found it just about in the center of the area. Jason was attending to his baby back at the condo when I found it but the rest of his family and in-laws were watching my progress from the beach. Everyone was impressed with the recovery thinking that the search was a folly. Jason was extremely happy and I’m sure the rest of his vacation was regret free. Glad I could help!

Lost gold ring in water, Withlacoochee River, Hernando County Florida…found by Florida Ring Finder!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Bennie and his friends were enjoying the day along the Withlacoochee River swimming and taking turns swinging on a rope over the water. As Bennie let go of the rope he felt his gold ring come off of his finger and a sick feeling came over him. This was a very special ring given to him by his father 5 years ago and he has treasured it ever since. And now it had fallen into the depths of the silty river bottom! He and his friends tried diving down and feeling with their hands but the 8 foot depth and uneven bottom was more of a challenge than they could endure. Bennie called his mother and told her what happened and she went online and found Mr. Steve Thomas who is one of the Ring Finders in the West Florida area but unfortunately he only does shallow water and land searches so he recommended they call me to see if I could help them. After hearing their story I decided to meet them at the sight the following day. It was a 2 hour drive but we finally arrived and began setting up my PVC grid, my BLU3 Nemo dive system, mask, wet suit and fins. Bennie was very sure of where he and his ring fell into the water so down I went and began searching along my PVC grid that was setting on the bottom. The first 2 signals were deeper in the sand so I left them and the 3rd signal was louder on my hand held Pulse Dive unit and there sitting on top of the sandy bottom was Bennie’s lost gold ring! I really wanted to continue searching for other targets as the rope swing area was a favorite for the locals but I had noticed just before my entering the water that there was a group of people just waiting for me to finish up so they could enjoy jumping off of the tree and swinging on the rope…so I slowly ascended with Bennie’s gold ring tucked safely in my finds pouch. Bennie was intently watching me as I swam up to shore and as I smiled and gestured with a thumbs up…he began grinning from ear to ear! What a thrill it is to be able to conduct a search, find the lost item and then to return it to someone that is hurting and feeling a great heaviness and loss! And then to experience seeing them transform to happiness and joy and see more tears…only these are tears of sheer relief and thankfulness!

I always pray and ask God to help me be a blessing to each person that calls me for my assistance. How can I help you today? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk! 321-363-6029

Avalon NJ Lost Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

Lost A Ring in

Avalon, New Jersey? Don’t Wait!

CALL JOHN 

215-850-0188

Earlier this week, I received a call from Michelle about a lost silver and gold ring in Avalon, NJ. Jane was enjoying a beautiful late afternoon with friends when a fun moment turned into a sudden panic.

 

While standing near the water’s edge, Jane was tossing clam shells into the ocean when she felt her precious silver and gold ring slip right off her finger. It was one of those slow-motion moments where you realize too late that something valuable is gone. Her heart sank as quickly as the ring did.

 

Thinking fast, Jane marked the area where the ring was lost by writing the word “HELP” in large letters in the sand. Smart move! This helped locate the spot with the metal detector a short time later.

 

Michelle and Jane were at beach, and she pointed out the area near the surf. We only had a short window of time before the incoming tide would wash away the sand and make the search more difficult, scanning the area with the metal detector.

 

After just a few passes, there was a strong signal. Digging carefully, scooped into the wet sand and there it was Jane’s silver and gold ring, safely recovered!

 

The look of relief and happiness on her face said it all. This ring wasn’t just jewelry—it held personal meaning and memories. Being able to return it was an absolute joy.

 

Another successful recovery at the Jersey Shore! If you ever find yourself in a similar situation—whether in Avalon or anywhere from Brigantine to Cape May—don’t panic. Reach out right away. Quick action makes all the difference, and we are  happy to help!

4-Day-Old Wedding Ring Recovered and Returned, Trunk River Beach Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

4 July 2025.  Jeffrey and Jocelyn had been married only 4 days when Jeffrey’s wedding band slipped into the ocean as he was scrubbing poison ivy from his fingers.  Fortunately Anthony and Anishaa, a couple for whom I recovered a ring last August at the same beach, were nearby and they heard his plight and told him to call me.  I was just returning from another call but was able to meet Jeffrey at the beach a short time later.  He was quite specific about where and how he lost his ring, so the search was straightforward and I made the recovery within a few minutes from cobbles and gravel in knee-deep water.  There were cheers all up and down the beach, and needless to say a huge smile from Jeffrey.  Anthony and Anishaa came over and we all had a mini-celebration/reunion.  It was great to experience this serendipitous circumstance where one Ringfinder success led to another almost a year later!

My immediately prior call was to find joined wedding/engagement rings thought to be lost in a 10′ x 10′ area of dry sand at a different beach.  I made a thorough search of the area as well as a wide, surrounding area with no result.  I explained that the ring must have come off somewhere else, perhaps in a bag or at another location before they arrived at the beach, even though the owner was certain that the beach location was correct.  As it turned out, they called later to let me know that they found the rings in front of their beach house where the owner had been putting on sunscreen.  The moral of the story: Memory can be tricky, so be sure to check out other possibilities, no matter how unlikely they may seem!

Jeffrey’s ‘4-day-old’ wedding ring.

 

Ring and recent groom reunited.

 

A happy couple, Jeffrey and his bride Jocelyn.

 

Jocelyn, Jeffrey, and Ringfinder ‘alums’ Anishaa and Anthony with me in a little celebration.

Mattapoisett’s Newest Engagement !

Contact:

I received a message on my phone from Caroline asking if I could help find an engagement ring that had been lost earlier in the morning.  I returned her call with enthusiasm saying I was on my way forgetting it was the Fourth of July.  Traffic was brutal but I made it in good time.  We all quickly introduced ourselves and George her husband to be, proceeded to tell me how it was lost.  He was proposing on one knee and when he opened the ring box that had a locking latch the ring was gone.  I asked all the questions leading up to where he seen it last. Luckily he remembered it was in his pocket.  So I think that when he pulled the box out of his pants he also brought the ring up with it and lost it in the sand.  

They went and bought a detector but couldn’t find it after an hour or so.  

I had Caroline stand where she thought it could be and George where he was kneeling.  Julia there professional photographer was with us while I searched, she was documenting every step.  

I started to grid the area, first pass two old bullets, second pass a piece of aluminum, third pass 20 feet away from where it was thought to be I got it. A beautiful Platinum 1.2 karat Diamond engagement ring.  

After a few minutes of hooting and hollering.  George redeemed himself and got down on his knee a proposed. Caroline said yes.  It’s very rewarding to be able to be a small part of their special day. Congratulations to you Caroline and George.   A special thank you to Julian for helping them document it.   Sincerely Leighton

Super Nice Ring Set Recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Sue lost her wedding ring set at Gulf Shores a couple day before calling me for help. She didn’t know where to go and it took a day or so to find someone who could help. I told her i would be there first thing in the morning. I met her where she and the family were staying and we walked to the beach area she thinks it was lost. She wasn’t sure how it was lost, where it might be or if it was even on the beach but felt hopefully it was on the beach. She talked about the day it was lost and her activities and locations. The house and car had been searched and it wasn’t there, so logicly it must on the way to the beach or somewhere on the beach. She showed me the various places they were on the beach and the routes to and from those various places. With that information I put together a search plan and proceeded. After about 30 minutes and after digging several other targets I got a very good signal and knew i found something good. I dug it and showed it to Sue who shouted you found it! She was very, very happily. I’m glad I found it for her, it made both our days.
