2 Lost Gold & Diamond Rings, FOUND! Cape May NJ
Received a referral from fellow recovery detectorist Matty StGermain. Spoke with Carmen, whom explained that she had briefly removed her rings, which were originally her mothers rings, to apply sunscreen while at the beach the yesterday on Perry St, here in Cape May. After applying the sunscreen she stood up not realizing that her rings were still on her lap causing them to drop snd disappear into the sand. Later in the day she realized what had happened and attempted to search with no success. I met up with Carmen and her husband and recovered both of her rings in about 5 minutes. Another happy couple!

Mattapoisett’s Newest Engagement !

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

Gold bracelet found in front yard with metal detector

I received a call to search for a child’s gold bracelet. It was lost in the neighbors front yard which had fairly thick grass. The search took longer than I would have liked but I didn’t give up. The bracelet was balled up and hiding amongst pieces of foil.

 

 

 

18K Yellow Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found and Returned Murrell’s Inlet SC

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

This is part 1 of a 2 part story that started on July 6th, when I saw a FB post from Charlie that said, “Where’s all my treasure hunters at? My wedding band slipped off my finger into shallow water at high tide on the point yesterday. Does anyone have a metal detector to help me look for it? We’re in Inlet Harbor. Low tide is at 11:50 am so that would be our best chance. Thank you!” A contributing factor was he lost it the same day we had a tropical storm go through the area. His post had some naysayers, prayers offered and offers of hope. I copied and pasted my Ring Finder page to his post and waited. Within about 10 minutes, Charlie called and asked if I could help. I told him I could be there in about an hour, he agreed, and I was on my way.

I arrived right around low tide and met Charlie at the house he and his wife Renee were staying. I followed him to his grandfather’s house where I parked. We introduced ourselves and he walked me out to the beach. He pointed out the area, which maybe was a 25X20 foot spot. I got a few more details and went to work. From all the coins, trash, old cans, and fishing weights and hook.   This beach hasn’t been cleaned or detected in a while. Charlie was very confident of his area, so I started a north/south grid line. Most of Charlie’s family had shown up to watch and I heard one gentleman say they had been sitting at the top of the sand. I finished the slope down to the water and no ring. I worked up to the top of the beach, again getting fishing weights and hooks when I got a solid 19 on the VDI (visual display indicator). The 19 indicated to me that I had gold under the coil. I moved some sand and saw the glimmer of gold. I reached down and pulled Charlie’s wedding band out from its hiding place. I held it up for Charlie, Renee and the rest of the family to see. Charlie came over and I handed him his ring. He checked the engraving and confirmed their wedding date was what was engraved. Ring Found!

At one point during the search, I found out that Charlie’s brother-in-law, Cory had lost his gold wedding band. He had lost his on the 4th of July and probably in about waist deep water. I did a search of the upper beach and out in the bay about waist deep. Because of the tide I had to give up on Cory’s ring.   One out of two wasn’t bad.

Charlie and Renee – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure. I wish you two all the best.

Super Nice Ring Set Recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

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.

Wedding Band Found!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

Jason lost his wedding band in the sand at Pensacola Beach on Sunday. He called that evening and i said I would help and agreed to meet first thing Monday morning at the beach. Jason had a fairly large area identified as the target area. There wasn’t anyone on the beach and the weather was comfortable. I started a grid and searching it pretty fast while Jason was working the phone lining up his days business. Fortunately his ring was in the area he designated. I found it in record time and it was back on his finger and he back to work on time!

Beautiful Ring Recovered at Gulf Shores

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

This very nice lady was attending a Beach Volley Ball tournament at Gulf Shores. Some how her ring slipped off and immediately burrowed into the sand without her realizing. This was a huge tournament, both high school and college competitions. Maybe 90 courts with walkways in between. I started the search in the areas she felt was the best change of finding the ring. Lots of people had been walking over the walkways so I anticipated the ring would have been pushed down until it hit a hard layer. Fortunately it wasn’t far from the location she identified and it was pretty deep. The only worry I has was not interfering with the play and searching only in between volleys!

Ring Recovered at Robinson Island

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

I was called to find a ring on Robinson Island late Saturday afternoon the day before Easter. The ring was lost in the water near the their boat when the owner threw the anchor to set a stern line in about waist deep water. By the time I got there the party and most of the boats had gone home, so it was easy to maneuver while searching except for the pop tops and pull tabs. When you’re hunting jewelry you can’t depend on knowing the metallurgy so you have got to dig everything. I wasn’t counting but I’ll bet I dug over 100 pull tabs. That said when I finally located the ring the data from my detector was unmistakable. Ring was recovered, we got back to the dock with a little sun left and the the family was all happy.

Lost Class Ring North Wildwood NJ Found by John Favano Ring Finder South Jersey

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

It was a sunny Friday afternoon in North Wildwood, NJ when Dana’s beach day took an unexpected turn. What started as a fun and relaxing time with friends quickly became a moment of panic and heartbreak all over one small, but very meaningful item: her gold high school class ring.

The class ring was lost in the sand in North Wildwood NJ

Dana had been standing near the dunes, to talk to some friends and something happened. As Dana threw her hands into the air to wave with excitement. In that exact moment, the ring slipped right off her finger and disappeared into the sand. “I felt it leave my hand,” Dana told me. “It was like slow motion. I looked down, and it was gone. Just gone. “The group immediately began combing the area with their hands, digging and searching. But as anyone who’s lost jewelry on the beach knows, the sand has a way of swallowing things whole.

After several frustrating minutes, Dana’s friend remembered hearing about professional metal detectorists who help recover lost items on the beach. A quick search brought her to RingFindersSouthJersey.com, and her friend called me John Favano right away. I answered immediately, asked a few questions, and told I told her I was already close by and would be there in about 15 minutes. I arrived with my metal detector and experience.

After asking Dana to point out the area she was standing and which way she waved, I scanned the area for no more than five minutes before the metal detector got a strong signal. One scoop of sand later and there it was. Dana’s gold class ring, still glinting in the sunlight. “Dana couldn’t believe it. I was shocked. I thought it was gone forever,” Dana said. “John is amazing at what he does. I’m so thankful my friend found him. ”Stories like Dana’s happen more often than most people think, especially on busy beaches during the summer.

I received a call from Deb this afternoon. She explained that she was at the beach with friends and her ring flew off her hand when the wind took off with the umbrella she was trying to set up. Deb had a general idea of where the ring landed but after searching on her hands and knees, with friends helping, she could not find her ring of 40 years. Took the short ride over from home and met up with Deb and her friends on Broadway beach. I managed to recover her ring in about 5 minutes, much to her relief. Another happy client! At Debs request, only her ring is pictured, and what a beauty it is!
