Ocean City, NJ: Another Lost Wedding Ring, Another Happy Reunion!

 

Losing something as precious as a wedding band can be devastating, especially when you’re enjoying a relaxing vacation. For Melanie and her husband, their dream week in Ocean City, NJ, took a turn when his lost ring disappeared into the ocean during a peaceful wade.

It was late in the evening when Melanie called, her voice tinged with worry. Her husband had been casting his line, enjoying the gentle lapping waves, when suddenly, his wedding ring slipped off his finger. The powerful ocean currents quickly claimed it, and with the tide rapidly rising, they knew any immediate attempt at recovery would be futile. It was a heartbreaking moment, the kind that can overshadow an entire trip.

We made a plan to meet at the very next low tide, hoping the calmer waters would offer a better chance. Armed with my beach metal detector, I arrived at the designated spot in Ocean City, NJ, with a sense of purpose. The moon cast a soft glow on the water as I began my search, meticulously sweeping the sand.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. The anticipation, the focused search, and then that familiar, wonderful sound from the detector. After just 15 minutes of searching, there it was! Under the gentle moonlight, the ring gleamed, a beacon of hope in the vastness of the ocean.

Returning that lost wedding band to Melanie and her husband was an incredibly rewarding experience. Their week-long vacation in Ocean City, NJ, had been transformed from a moment of despair into a triumphant story of recovery. It was a perfect ending to their getaway, a reminder that even when all seems lost, sometimes a little persistence and the right tools can bring about a miracle.

Have you lost a ring on the beaches of Ocean City, NJ, or anywhere else in South Jersey? Don’t give up hope! Whether it’s a lost engagement ring, a family heirloom, or a cherished wedding band, a beach metal detector can often be the key to finding your lost treasure.

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

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Received a call from Daniel after he was referred to me by Cape May Police Dept. Daniel explained that his wife had dropped both of her rings in the sand two days ago while at the beach with family in Cape May Point. Daniels wife had taken the rings off to apply sunscreen and simply forgotten about them on her lap, a very common mistake, btw. A nearby good samaritan had lent Daniel a metal detector but they had no luck recovering the rings themselves. I gathered some details from Daniel in regards to location and he was also able to send me a dropped pin to get me as close to the area as possible. I arrived on the beach in CMP first thing this morning and began searching. I was able to recover both rings in about 25 minutes and return them to Daniel before he and his family left to return home. Nothing like ending that vacation on a high note! Another happy couple!

Campground Beach, MA Lost / Found / Returning of Wedding Band

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

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.

Lost engagement and wedding rings, FOUND! Ocean City, NJ By Expert Recovery detectorist: Jeffrey Laag

Christina reached out to our group page at “TheRingFindersNewJersey.com” after she lost both her engagement and wedding bands in the surf. Christina explained that while playing with her children on a boogie board she felt her rings “slip right off” after sending her child to ride a wave. I took the short ride from Cape May up to Ocean City and met up with Christina and her husband. Her husband had already wrote the rings off as he believed they were “gone forever”, to which I replied “lets see what we can do, lol”. I gathered some details from Christina before entering the surf and managed to pull both rings from the waves in about 10 minutes! Granted they dont always go that quickly, lol. Another happy couple!

Received a message last evening from Ashley. Ashley explained that she dropped a ring in the sand while on Queen St beach today while applying sunscreen. This ring had some pretty significant sentimental value as it had been passed to her from her parents. Ashley had already returned home to Philadelphia before finding my contact information that was recommended to her in “Cape May Live”. We chatted a bit last evening and I headed out after getting off duty this morning, first thing. She was able to markup a screen shot of Queen St beach to help get me in the right general area. After about 20 minutes of searching i had Ashleys ring in the scoop. Her friend picked it up this afternoon and itll be back on Ashleys finger the weekend! Another happy ending! Thank you to the folks in Cape May Live for the recommendations!
Ashleys testimonial:
“I took off a small but sentimental ring to apply sunscreen and, as the story always goes, dropped it into the sand. I spent about an hour looking, and a small crew assembled to help sift the area, with no luck. I left the beach convinced that it was gone forever but posted to a Cape May page in case it was my lucky month. Jeff was recommended almost immediately. Around 8:30 pm we exchanged a few messages back and forth about where I was sitting, time of day, and what the ring looked like and he found it by 8:30am the next day. This man is incredible!”

 Received a call from Steve & Mary. The couple explained that they were at the waters edge the previous evening enjoying the shallow surf. At some point while sitting in the shallow water Marys ring slipped off and dissappeared into the water. The couple searched frantically with no luck. The next morning I spoke with them and we met up about 20 minutes later on the beach. After searching for approx 30 minutes I managed to pull the ring from the sand. The couple was in town celebrating their 31st anniversary and now they can get back to enjoying their vacation! Another happy couple!

Received a call from Steve this afternoon. Steve explained that his wedding band had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Took the short, 10 minute ride over to Philadelphia Ave beach and met up with Steve. Once he directed me to the general area I was able to recover his ring on the first pass. Took longer to walk down onto the beach then it did to find the ring, lol. Once recovered, Steve placed the ring on his middle finger and I dont think its coming off of that one anytime soon. Another happy client!

BMW FOB Lost in the Sand – Bank Street Beach Harwich, MA Found and returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

June 22, 2025

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.
