Lost Tungsten Ring Found in Pinckney Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

The Blue Swing….

Is Austin’s daughter’s favorite swing, and when she’s in it and dad is pushing her the sky’s the limit. About 2 weeks ago as a major storm pushed thru south-east Michigan, as they were playing on the swing… they suddenly had to take cover. After the storm had passed Austin noticed his ring missing. With the high winds and pounding rain he had no idea where it went. Searching for it was like swinging into the wind. Things were in full swing as I started a grid search near the swing and quite a few feet away, I got a great signal. Digging down thru the sand in the play area revealed Austin’s ring! He was not home yet so I texted him a pic of the ring and he couldn’t believe it. His wife came out to greet me and take some pics. Now that’s what I call getting back into the swing of things!

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 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 wedding ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Ring Finders Cape May

I received a call from Jimmy. Jimmy explained that he had just applied sunscreen and was shaking his hands off when his wedding band flung off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Jimmy and his family searched for several hours before and could not locate the ring. Shortly after calling, Ring Finders Cape May was on the beach with Jimmy. After a brief discussion about the possible location of the ring Dan began grid searching the beach. After a very brief search Jimmy’s ring emerged from the sand. Another successful recovery!

Jimmy Review:

“This man showed up, was beyond friendly, extremely helpful, and located my wedding band quickly! (which I was looking for, for about 3 hours!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

I received a call from Christina asking for my help in locating a wedding band.  She explained that the wedding band belonged to her late husband who passed away in November 2025.  The ring was lost while her husband was doing yard work in early 2025 and could have been thrown out with yard waste.  If there was still a chance that it was in the yard a year later, she said it would mean the world to her if I found it.  Christina went in the house to continue working from home, while I went to work searching her yard.  I discovered her husband’s wedding band in about 15 minutes.  I texted her asking that she come outside because I had a question. When I showed her the ring, she hugged me and cried with joy.  Christina couldn’t wait to show her children that their dad’s ring was found!

 

LOST GOLD WEDDING BAND AT WHITE LAKE, NC…FOUND and MAILED TO OWNER!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

UPDATE:

The ring I recovered on 8/5/26 and mailed to its owner in Chester, VA has made it safely back, been resized and shouldn’t come off again!

Back story: family was on vacation from VA, visiting White Lake, NC. While spending time with family in the water she felt both rings slide off into the water. Her husband was able to recover the engagement ring, but lost the wedding ring in the sand.

Week later, after being contacted by her sister, I made the drive down and go to the spot! About an hour and a half later I had the ring in my scoop!

I texted her saying it has been safely recovered and asked for her address so I could get it back to her asap!

She was super excited and couldn’t believe I had found it, much less willing to mail it back to her!

This is what I love to do and what I enjoy the most after turning someone’s tears to joy, sadness to happiness again and the feeling of devastation to hope and then gratefulness to have any item back!

Numbers are the same as my last recover because I had already counted it into my numbers on 8/5/26!

Lost gold wedding ring, FOUND! Cape May Point, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Kim & Daniela. They explained that they had spent the day at Pearl beach in Cape May Point. At some point during their visit, Danielas gold wedding ring went missing. She wasn’t sure when it was lost during their visit, but she was confident that it was at the beach as she was sure it was on her finger when they arrived earlier in the day and noticed it was gone just after leaving the beach. Daniela was concerned that it may be in the water as she had spent some time swimming as well. I met Kim & Daniela on the beach and we identified the areas they had been while visiting. I began grid searching the area where they had been sitting on the beach first. I made a few passes over the area and found Danielas ring a few inches beneath the dry sand. Tears of joy & relief were flowing! Daniela truly thought it was “gone forever” Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

Kims Review: “There are still people in our world that care about others and genuinely want to help… this defines Jeffrey from Cape May Ring Finders.

Our story:
We had a beautiful day at our favorite beach, followed by sitting down to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in town. The waitress complimented my wife on her nail polish, and as she walked away, my wife glanced down at her hands and gasped, “My ring!”
Her wedding band was missing from her finger as panic seeped in. A dinner plate full of tears followed by a sleepless night. The only explanation was that it was lost somewhere on that beach… the same place we got engaged.
The next morning, I found Jeffrey online at Ring Finders Cape May. I texted him to see if he could help us. I explained the situation, he asked a few questions, and then asked, “Can you meet me in 20 minutes?” We rushed to meet him, and remarkably, within 10 minutes our ring was found! We couldn’t believe it — Jeffrey is pure magic.
We are forever grateful for Jeffrey, and he gives us faith that our world still has selfless angels among us.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Long Drive to Soddy Daisy for a Meteorite Ring

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)

When Trey reached out after losing his ring somewhere in his backyard while doing yard work, he wasn’t sure if he’d ever see it again. It wasn’t just any ring—it was a beautiful tungsten ring with a meteorite inlay, making it a very special piece.
I packed up my metal detector and made the 1 hour and 45 minute drive to Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, hoping I could help Trey recover it.
Once I arrived, Trey showed me the area where he had been working and the spots where he thought the ring might have disappeared. I started working my way through the yard, carefully checking the ground and listening for those promising signals.
After searching the area, I finally got the signal I was looking for—and there it was!
Trey’s tungsten ring with the meteorite inlay was back in his hands.
That’s what makes being a Ring Finder so rewarding. Sometimes it’s a short trip down the road, and sometimes it’s a nearly two-hour drive. But when you can return something valuable and sentimental to its owner, the drive is absolutely worth it.
Another ring found, another happy customer, and another great Tennessee recovery! Equipment used was an Equinox 900 and the TID was 35.
