Property markers located in Yadkin County, NC for couple that had tree fall damaging home and side porch.

  • from Winston-Salem (North Carolina, United States)

I was contacted by a lady whom I assisted almost a year ago when her husband lost his wedding band.  She advised that in a recent storm two very large pine trees had fallen onto their home causing damage.   The property line is lined with many additional trees is the same state of decay causing concern.   They were unsure “if” the trees were theirs, neighbors or shared and wanted to address the situation before additional damage following their insurance carriers instructions.

They had reached out to many land survey companies whom quoted significant fees or responded that they didn’t have availability to help.  Many didn’t even return calls.  Discouraged she remembered my assisting with the ring recovery and knowing property markers are metallic returned to my RF listing and saw I assisted in locating property markers.

We scheduled a day and time for me to assist.  Preliminary research I used publicly accessible tools to research property lines, lot owners and placement of markers.

Arrived, searched and after a little confusion and finding the Plat map that was included with their home purchase information we were successful in identifying that their back yard was deeper than they thought and that the large line of trees was in no way on their property.  🙂   To be 100% sure I located the driven markers digging one and clearing growth away from the others.  To maintain visibility both were spray painted white.

Full disclosure I am not a land surveyor.  I only located the markers placed by surveyors of years past that matched up to the written description on their plat map which is official record at the Yadkin County, NC Register of Deeds.

Man’s Yellow Gold Class Ring Lost in the Ocean, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach, SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

On Sunday, September 6, 2026, I got a notification on FB about a gentleman who had lost his 20-year-old Patrick Henry Class Ring in the ocean. At 8 p.m. that evening I received a call from Emilia, the daughter of Osmin, the gentleman who had lost the ring. She told me he had lost it around 12:30-1 p.m. and was maybe chest deep. A quick check of the tide tables and that would have been roughly mid-tide with the next low tide happening just after 10 p.m. I told her that I could meet them at 10 p.m. I was watching the weather, which had predicted storms. And a little after 8 p.m., I text Emilia saying I was going to cancel that evening and would be there the next morning at 10 a.m., which was just before low tide.

On Monday just before 9:30 a.m., I sent Emilia a text saying, “On my way.” She acknowledged that she’d be waiting.  When I walked out on the beach, I met Emilia and her husband, Kenny. She told me her dad was away, but Kenny had been there when Osmin lost his ring. Kenny showed me what he remembered about where they were, and I started an east/west grid. I was using the beams on the Resort’s building as my landmark as I worked my way from North to South across the target area. As I got about halfway across the grid search, Osmin showed up and showed me about where he had been which I hadn’t gotten to yet in my search. I told him I’d keep working on my grid search so I’m not jumping from one spot to another. Osmin also said that he was trying to catch a ball that his brother had thrown, when the ball hit his ring finger and the ring slipped off into the ocean. I was just getting to Osmin’s suspected area when I got a solid signal and a 19-20 on the VDI (visual display indicator), those numbers tell me there’s a big gold ring under the coil. Dug one scoop, shook the sand out in the water and saw Osmin’s beautiful class ring in the scoop. I started walking towards Osmin and Kenny and stuck the scoop out for Osmin to retrieve his ring. Osmin’s big smile and a sign of relief make it all worthwhile.

Emilia – Thank you for calling me to help find your dad’s treasured class ring.

Lost gold ring, recovered, Magician Lake, Dowagiac Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)


James, newly wed, noticed his gold ring had fallen off in the swimming area of his parent’s lake home. With some helpers, they tried to find it, scanning the bottom using goggles, with no luck. Amy, his mother, found me using Chat GPT and I was able to head right there to perform a search. James and his wife were not present today.
Nice sandy bottom to the swim area, not so clear water, but nice and warm. Got a few target hits, sorted through a few quickly, then got what sounded pretty promising. Scooped and saw a nice shiny gold ring in the basket. Took maybe a few minutes, if only they were all that easy.

Lost watch, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Barbara Ann. Barbara explained that she had spent the day on the beach, here in Cape May, this past Sunday. While at the beach she had removed her watch before going for a swim in the ocean. She placed her watch in the pocket of her cover up for safe keeping. Later in the day she gathered her belongings and headed off the beach. Shortly after returning home she realized that her watch was still in her cover up. When she went to retrieve it, it was gone. Barbara immediately returned to the beach and began searching where she had been sitting that day. after a while, searching, she came up empty-handed and began researching her options. While looking to rent or purchase a metal detector to search herself, Google recommended calling Ring Finders Cape May as an alternative. Now Tuesday Barbara called last evening right around dinner time, after gathering some details I headed over to Broadway Beach and met Barbara. After reviewing the general area I began grid searching the area, after a short hunt I picked up a signal, the only signal thruout the search, and out came Barbaras watch from the sand! Barbara was elated with joy as the watch possessed significant sentimental value to her. Another successful recovery!

Barbaras Review:

“ I lost my watch on the beach. It was an expensive watch but even more sentimentally valuable. I did everything I could to find it . Two days later, as a last resort, I did a Google search for the possibility of renting a metal detector and instead was advised to find a professional detectorist and given a link to Ring Finders in Cape May. When I called , Jeff Laag answered and came out to meet me within 15 minutes. He’s amazing, he understands how important these lost items can be to people. He is a kind, caring man who listened to my whole story, evaluated the search area and got started. The miracle happened within 20 minutes. Jeff found my watch! I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t know what to say, I needed something so much better than just “thank you.” So, Jeff Laag, thank you thank you again and again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lost Gold & Diamond ring, recovered, Sawyer Michigan, Lake Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)

Marilyn lost her gold ring yesterday, while out back with the family on the beach. Not sure if on the dry sand or in the water. This ring has her grandmother’s wedding ring diamonds mounted on it, so its of great sentimental value. Her son contacted me and we orchestrated the details and I was on my way over (time crunch, before work).
The potential loss area grew quite a bit after getting the tour of the beach area, but I would give it my best and return tomorrow if need be.
Nothing turned up on the dry, so I moved to the water.
She’d gone out to neck deep yesterday and said the sand had moved a lot overnight.
After a few passes, I got a nice signal in about thigh deep water. Sounded great, but also sounded like a US nickel (same exact vdi # 26), but when I peeked in the scoop, I saw that Gold ring and knew i’d got it. It was about 3-4” down in the sand.
Marilyn was amazed I’d found it!

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Phil yesterday just ahead of an incoming storm. Phil explained that he was exiting the ocean and shook off his hands when his wedding ring slipped off and was immediately swallowed up by a passing wave. Phil and his wife searched the shallow with no success. Given the time of day, current tide schedule and approaching storm I decided it would be best to attempt recovery during this morning low tide. Phil did an excellent job of marking the area with a pin and taking reference photos. This morning I arrived on the beach at Phils pinned location and began searching. After about an hours time I swung my coil over Phils ring and recovered it from approx 14” down in the sand! Phil and his family finished breakfast and met me on Decatur St beach, here in Cape May and retrieved his ring. Another successful recovery, another saved vacation!

Phils Review:

“Jeff is the best! I lost my gold wedding ring on the southern tip of Cape May beach right as the tide was coming in. We called Jeff immediately, and he was able to head out to the exact spot at the next low tide—roughly 19 hours later. About an hour into searching, he found it! We were sure it was gone forever, especially after a pretty bad storm rolled through that night. Jeff came to the rescue. He is highly professional, and I cannot recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lost gold & diamond medallion, FOUND! North Cape May, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Bree. Bree explained that she had attended a wedding on the bay, here, in Lower Twp. While at the wedding, Bree had lost a very special medallion from her necklace. This particular piece was a gift upon her retirement from The United Stated Coast Guard. This was probably one of the oldest pieces I have recovered for someone as she explained that this piece dates back to the 1650’s! Bree believed that the medallion may have been pulled off by a child she was holding at some point during the ceremony. Bree and her family had returned several times with sand sifters, spending hours searching for the piece with no luck. Bree explained that she and her family had even considered purchasing their own detector but weren’t sure of the quality and pricing of what they found locally and how to properly use the device. After gathering some specifics, I proceeded down to Bay drive and began my search. Luckily Bree was able to provide some great photos of where the wedding had taken place on the beach that day. After about 10 minutes of searching, I managed to recover the medallion and circle clasp that attached it. When Bree arrived to meet me I told her that she didn’t need to get sandy as I already had her medallion recovered, much to her amazement and relief. Happy tears began flowing! Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

Lost heirloom silver/ruby ring, recovered, Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)


Ahmed called me while I was heading home from a long afternoon of detecting in Lake Michigan. He had just realized that his “silver ruby” ring went missing while at Cherry Beach.
It was getting dark, but offered the option of heading up in about an hour.
We met at the parking lot, geared up and hit the beach. He was not sure when, where or how it was lost. He stated he’d help “bury a friend” in a big hole near where their towels were and also threw handfuls of sand at other friends in a few different directions. So, it turned into a mystery type hunt, fairly large area, but not too bad.
I covered the dry sand first, covering about twenty steps in the directions he’d tossed sand. Nothing there, so I entered the water, made a few passes where he’d also thrown sand towards. After finding an old pull ring, I got a nice high silver sounding signal and scooped that big gypsy style ring. He said it was his late father’s ring, that was handed down for him to wear.

I received a call from Tom. Tom explained that he was enjoying a day on Wilmington Ave beach, here in Cape May, NJ. At some point Toms ring slipped off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Tom, his friends, and family sifted thru the sand but came up empty handed, despite seeing exactly where & when the ring dropped into the sand. After a short ride into town I met up with Tom and his family. One quick pass with my detector revealed the gold rings location. 1 scoop later it was back on its rightful owners finger! Another successful recovery, another happy client!

Toms wife’s review of service: “Amazing! Lost my husband’s ring in the sand that my father made for him . Ring Finders Cape May came in 30 minutes and found it in less than 5. We would have never found it or enjoyed our day if it wasn’t for Ring Finders Cape May. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lost Wedding Ring found at East Matunuck State Beach in South Kingstown, RI

  • from Charlestown (Rhode Island, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Kayleen asking for my help.  She took off two rings to apply sunscreen and placed them in her lap.  Forgetting that they were there, she stood up and the rings went flying off her lap into the sand.  She was able to find one of her rings, but her diamond wedding band was somewhere in the sand near where she was sitting.  I told Kayleen that I would be there in about 30 minutes.  When I arrived at the beach, Kayleen identified where she was sitting.  It took me about two minutes to find her ring.  As you can see, she was very happy!
