I received a message from Marlene. She explained that she had been at the beach in Cape May Point with her fiance and friends. She wanted to hop in the ocean for a bit and handed her rings to a friend for safe keeping. Her friend placed the rings in the cup holder of a beach chair. Later on, unbeknownst to Marlene she folded her chair as they were packing up and began walking back to her car. She asked her friend for her rings back and then realized what had transpired. Marlene and her fiance remained back at the beach site frantically searching for 3+ hrs before finding my information. I rode over and met up with the couple in about 10 minutes and had her ring in the scoop about 5 minutes after that! Another happy and relieved couple!
Marlenes review:
“Huge shout out to Jeff Laag! I was looking for my ring for about 3 hours. When I called Jeff he was here in 10 minutes and found my ring literally 5 minutes! I can’t thank this man enough✨🙏🏻💜 and yes, I learned my lesson. I will never wear my ring to the beach again!”

4 Yellow Gold Rings Lost at High Tide – Found and Returned Murrell’s Inlet SC

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

On 7/20/25, just before 4:30 pm, I received a call from Michele asking if I could help find her 4 rings she had lost. She stated that she had taken the rings off to put on suntan lotion and put them in her beach chair seat. She had forgotten about the rings until she went up to her room, ate some lunch, took a shower and then realized she didn’t have her rings. Her and her husband, Kraig went back down to the beach, where they had been sitting. By then, the tide had come up and water was covering the area where they sat.  During our conversation, she told me this happened about an hour prior. Looking at the tide tables, this all happened about an hour before high tide. I told her that we could meet at 7:30 pm, which would be 2 hours after high tide. After we hung up, I got to thinking that 2 hours may be too long. I called her back and set up a meet time of 6:30 pm, she agreed.

It took me about 40 minutes to get to her condo, and I text her saying, “I‘m here” after I found a place to park.  As I’m walking across the parking lot, I heard my name and I got to meet Michele and her husband Kraig, As we’re walking out to the beach, Michele explained what I was looking for. She told me that 1 ring was her grandmother’s wedding band that she wore for more than 50 years. Her grandmother gave it to her when she and Craig got married 38 years ago – priceless! The 2nd ring was her mother’s mother’s ring – again priceless. The 3rd ring was her own mother’s ring, and the 4th was the engagement ring Kraig had given her many years ago. All 4 rings had significant sentimental value and importance to Michele. Michele and Kraig pointed out the area they thought they were in. They were close to each other but far enough apart, so I started a north/south grid line. Probably on my 4th line, I got a signal, but it wasn’t much to go on. All 4 rings were Yellow Gold, so I knew I’d be looking for numbers on the detector in the 13-16 range. I kept running the coil over the area to get something clear and finally dug a scoop of sand. The signals were a little better but still not clear enough to give me a good feeling. I dug a couple more scoops out of the hole and dumped the sand on the beach. Ran the coil over the area and got a solid 16 signal. Found the ring in the pile of sand and held it up for Michele to see – Bingo, grandma’s ring is in Michele’s hand. Took another scoop or two and Michele’s mother’s mother’s ring was now in hand. Two down, two to go! Another couple of scoops out of what is now about a 15–18-inch hole and got Michele’s engagement ring. After about 30 minutes of pulling out more sand, spreading the sand around on the beach, running the coil over the sand and all 3 of us trying to eyeball the ring, I just couldn’t find it. I asked Michele if she had had the ring sized and if the solder could have come apart making the ring not a whole ring. She told me that the ring is unique in that the top of the ring comes to a fork on both sides and the stones set on top of the forks. So, the top part of the ring does not connect to the other side. Now it’s time to come up with a plan B. I told Michele and Kraig I was going home to get a different detector and would be back in an hour and a half. I decided to get my White’s PI, a great machine but it’s heavy and does not discriminate. So basically, the machine sounds off on any metal under the coil. Before I left, I paced off and had a landmark to get me back on the spot.

When I got back, I text Michele and went to work to find my mark. I turned my PI on and waved the coil over the filled in hole and got a faint signal. Ok, this is working. I kept taking scoops of sand out and the signal got louder. After 4 or 5 scoops, the target was on the beach. By now it was dark, so I turned my headlamp on and started looking through the sand. Boom, I saw gold and pulled Michele’s mother’s ring out. I started walking up to the condo so I could get a decent picture and got to the door about the same time Michele. She was speechless; all 4 priceless and irreplaceable rings are back where they belong.

Michele – Thank you for allowing me to help you get all your rings back safe and sound!

2 Rings Lost, Wedding Band and Engagement Ring, in the Sand, Found and Returned Garden City SC

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

On 7/20/25 just before 11:30 am, I got a text message saying, “Hi Jim, my name is Eric. My family is staying in Garden City beach and I am reaching out to you for help because I lost my wife’s engagement ring and wedding band on the beach this morning. Please let me know if you are able to help. “I called the number attached to the text and talked to Eric. I found out the rings were lost in the dry sand and told him I’d be there in about an hour. I also ask him to text me the address. Once I plugged the address in the GPS, I text him letting him know I was on my way with my ETA.

When I arrived, it took me a few minutes to park and then make my way out to the beach. Eric saw me and waved, so I made my way over to their spot. Eric explained that his wife had taken her rings off and put them on top of a bag. Eric moved the bag, along with some other items and the rings disappeared into the sand. He told me both rings were yellow gold. So I turned my detector on and knew I was looking for numbers on the detector in the 11 to 13 range. I checked where the bags were originally and its final resting place with no luck. I moved a couple of chairs under their umbrella and swung the coil. The first signal I got was an 11, so I knew I had the wedding band. I reached a little farther under the umbrella and got a 13, the engagement ring. I took a scoop of sand for the wedding band and then scooped up the engagement ring. I gently shook out the scoop and both rings were in the bottom of the scoop. Unfortunately, Eric’s wife, Liz was up in the room taking care of their 1 ½ year old. Day 1 of their vacation came to a happy ending.

Eric – Thank you so much for contacting me to help find your wife’s lost rings.

Oura Ring Lost in Sand at Playa Del Rey Beach…Found and Happily Returned.

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

If you lost your ring or other important item, please call right away because time will work against a successful recovery. Steve Smith: 310-953-5268

Madison called on 4th of July night after losing her Oura ring. I figured the beach would be full of people shooting off their fireworks, so I asked if we could do the search the next morning.

I got there a little before Madison, and could see that the beach had not been cleaned. She took me out to the area, and proceeded to take out her phone and look around. I asked if the ring had a find my ring feature, which she said it did. She gave me an area, and when I swung my detector, I got a signal, dug, and had her ring. That app put her right on top of it; AMAZING! I was able to give it to her, which made her day.

Car Key Lost in Ivy in Inglewood…Found and Returned

  • from Redondo Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

If you have lost something call right away, the chances of a recovery diminish with each passing hour. Steve Smith: 310-953-5268

Ebrahim called explaining how he had lost his car key in the ivy at his apartment complex. We arranged to meet the next day knowing that if he was unable to find it, it wasn’t likely to be found by someone not knowing it was there.

When I got there Ebrahim took me over to the site of the loss, and he told me how it occured. It happened on the stairs up to his apartment, and the emergency key that was in his fob bounced out when it hit the step after being dropped. It then went into the ivy below. He found the fob, but was unable to find the key. I could see where he had been searching, and went over the area myself with the detector. I then had to start working out from his search area, and about 12 inches from where he had been searching I found his key. Ebrahim came over, and was relieved to have it back.

Lost Ring Under a Boat Dock in Brigatine NJ, Found by Dave Milsted

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday evening, I received a call from Dino. He explained that his daughter lost her wedding ring in Brigatine Bay. She was distraught and depressed. His heart is hurting for her. I asked the usual questions: Does she have an idea where? What was she doing? What is the ring made of? His answers were under a boat dock, sitting in a chair, putting on sunscreen. 

He said his daughter Nadine would be calling me. A short time later, Nadine did call. I had a few more questions for her. How deep is the water at high tide and low tide? She said at low tide, waist to chest deep. She had taken off her ring to put on sunscreen, securing the ring in the side pocket of the chair. When she went to put the ring back on, she found the pocket had a hole in it. No ring was to be found. The dock, made of wooden boards, has significant gaps between the boards. They didn’t hear the ring hit the boards or plop into the water. I told her I would be down the next morning before low tide. 

Not knowing what the hunt was going to require, I packed chest waders, a wetsuit, 3 detectors, my long-handled scoop, and a 6-foot pole to determine how deep the water was. I met Nadine and her family at the location. They showed me the area and what she did. I had asked her the night before to mark the spot where her chair was, and there was an “X” marks the spot on the deck. I placed my bag of goodies on the X. I climbed down the ladder with my pole to measure the water. It was about 2.5 feet deep. Luck was on my side; I had dreams of the water being up to my neck. 

My choice of weapons was chest waders, my long-handled scoop, and my Nokita Legend detector. I got dressed and entered the water. Less than 1 minute in, I got my 1st signal, I scooped up the sand, and there was Nadine’s ring. It took me longer to put on my waders than it did to find her ring. 

I pulled it out of the scoop and showed it to her husband. He was in shock. He couldn’t believe that I found it, let alone in under a minute. Then Nadine saw it, and her mother screamed. The looks on their faces were priceless. Her mom says she works at a local restaurant, and she is going to tell everyone what I do and how professional I was. I gave them a refrigerator magnet to keep my information handy!

I Love My Hobby!!
