SCUBA Diving for Lost Watch in Fort Erie Marina

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It’s not every day you get a chance to reunite someone with a prized possession lost to the depths — especially in the murky waters of a marina. But that’s exactly what happened at Point Abino, on the northern shore of Lake Erie.Last week, an Apple Watch slipped off its owner’s wrist while they were docked at the Point Abino Marina. Like many marinas on Lake Erie, the water there isn’t exactly crystal clear — years of boat traffic and natural sediment have left a thick layer of silt that clouds visibility even a few feet below the surface.The owner jumped in to find the watch but came up empty-handed. Not wanting to give up, they brought in a local diver who gave it a go under the same poor conditions. Unfortunately, the silt made visibility nearly impossible, and after several attempts, the watch seemed gone for good.

That’s when we got the call !

With my Garrett Vortex metal detector , I decided to give it a shot. I’ve only used the new Vortex a couple times but  I trusted its precision — even in silty environments.

After scanning the area around the dock where the watch was last seen, and carefully combing the bottom to

avoid stirring up more sediment, I finally got a strong signal. I gently sifted through the muck with my hand and there it was — the unmistakable curve of an Apple Watch band, caked in silt but intact.

It was a rewarding moment. The look on the owner’s face when I handed it back made all the effort worth it. This recovery was a perfect example of how the right tools, patience, and a bit of experience can make the difference between a lost cause and a success story. The Garrett Vortex performed flawlessly, and despite the poor visibility, the Apple Watch made it back to its owner — still functional after its unexpected dive into Lake Erie.

If you’re ever dealing with a recovery in tough underwater conditions, don’t give up too soon. Sometimes, all it takes is the right gear and a little persistence.

Lost Condo Key Found in the Sand Wildwood, NJ Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

There’s nothing quite like a summer day on the beach in Wildwood, NJ  warm sun, cool waves, and good company. But sometimes, the fun gets interrupted by a small mistake that quickly turns into a big problem. That’s exactly what happened recently when Karen’s son’s friend accidentally lost their condo key on the beach. What started as a game of catch quickly turned into a frantic search in the sand—and that’s when I got the call.

Karen explained that the boys were tossing the key back and forth, not thinking much of it. But one throw went too high, and the key slipped through someone’s fingers and vanished into the soft Wildwood sand. They spent nearly an hour digging around, hoping it would turn up, but it was nowhere to be found. With the sun starting to set and no spare key available, panic started to set in.

Luckily, Karen knew about The Ring Finders South Jersey, and she gave me a call. I was already nearby, and just 10 minutes later, I was on the scene with my metal detector in hand and ready to help.

Wildwood, NJ has a wide beach, and once something small like a key disappears into the sand, it can be nearly impossible to find without the right tools. I asked a few quick questions to pinpoint the general area where the key was lost. The boys had done a good job marking the spot where they last saw it, which made the search much easier.

Within five minutes of scanning the area with my metal detector, I got a solid signal. A few scoops later, and there it was the lost condo key, still partially buried beneath the sand. The look of relief on everyone’s faces was priceless. Karen thanked me repeatedly, saying she had no idea how they would’ve gotten back into the condo if it weren’t for the quick recovery.

This is just one example of how The Ring Finders South Jersey can help when something important goes missing on the beach. Whether it’s a lost ring, key, phone, or other metal item, our tools and experience can often recover what seems lost forever.

If you’re spending time at the shore and misplace something valuable, don’t waste time digging blindly. Give me a call and let me help. I specialize in recoveries in Wildwood, NJ, and all along the South Jersey coast. Fast response, expert search, and a happy ending that’s what I aim to deliver every time.

For lost rings or valuables in Wildwood, NJ,  The Ring Finders South Jersey will help bring your beach day back on track.

This recovery starts with a story 3 years ago in 2022. Breanna took her rings off and put them in her pocket to keep them safe. She was coaching some kids sports and didn’t want to damage them. Later she went to put her rings back on and 1 of the 3 was missing. All the rings were custom made and the engagement ring was the one missing. They immediately started searching the area. Got metal detectors, had all the kids down on their hands and knees. She repeated this every night with her husband. After a month they were convinced that it might have got lost in the parking when she got her keys out and someone must have picked it up. Posting on social media had no results………until I joined that private Facebook page looking for cold cases. I reached out to try to get more information. After no success of communicating I decided to go out with the information given in the post and see if i could find it. I laid out my grid and after 3 hours got the signal that I wanted to hear among all the trash. I was then able to get ahold of Breanna a couple days later where she received a video of her ring coming out of the ground. There are lots details to this story. To much to write about. Tanner and Breanna agreed to meet up and share the story when they picked up her ring. Video link below. It was my honor to recover and return this ring on their 20th anniversary. Congratulations Tanner and Breanna.

Lost Smart Ring Found in Royal Oak Michigan

The One Ring to Rule Them All?…,,,,

…How about a smart ring? Some of the features include health, heart monitoring, and can track where you go, the ad mentioned. This caught Joey’s attention and for a moment his thoughts went back to one of his favorite superheroes….. The Green Lantern and his power ring…. How cool would it be to have something similar but different in the sense of helping change how he could track his health. Further reading checked all the boxes and Joey bought one. But what happed next isn’t your average superhero story. When he called and said he lost his smart ring I asked if it was so smart why did it jump off his finger? lol. He said as he was leaving a little league game it started raining and the ring was lost in a grass area near the parking lot. Using my MXT metal detector it only took a few minutes, and the ring was recovered in the grass. Joey was thrilled that the future was back on his finger, and he was ready again to simplify his life with just a touch. The question remains tho, with all this ring’s monitoring and tracking true love capabilities, are you ready to say I Do with one?

Lost Wedding Ring Found on the Beach in Wildwood Crest, NJ

Dale was enjoying a sunny afternoon on the beach in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, soaking up the warm weather and relaxing with friends and family. Like many beachgoers, he never expected his day to take a stressful turn. At some point during his visit, Dale’s wedding band slipped off his finger into the sand—a common problem at the beach, especially when the heat and water cause fingers to shrink slightly.

It wasn’t until later that Dale realized the ring was missing. After searching on his own and retracing his steps, he knew he needed professional help. That’s when he found Ring Finders South Jersey and gave me a call. Dale provided the details and marked the approximate area where he believed the ring may have fallen. I arrived within 15 minutes, equipped with my top-of-the-line metal detector and years of experience.

Once I got to the scene, I began a precise grid search in the area Dale indicated. Within just a few minutes, my detector signaled something promising under the sand—and sure enough, it was Dale’s lost wedding ring! His relief and happiness were immediate. There’s nothing better than reuniting someone with a piece of jewelry that holds deep personal meaning.

Lost engagement ring in Clermont, Florida…found with a metal detector!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:





If you lost something important to you…like a ring or keys, cell phone, chain or medallion…in the grass, sand, in the water or even in your car…call or text me at 321-363-6029 and let’s talk. I can answer any questions you may have about the ring finders recovery service and I am available day or night. Call or text me ASAP!

Anders and his fiancee were enjoying a day at Showcase of Citrus in Clermont with Anders’s four year old son…when the boy, who had somehow got a hold of the fiancee’s white gold diamond engagement ring, decided to throw the ring over a high fence and into the Capybara enclosure! Anders and his fiancee were shocked but figured that since they were throwing carrots and celery and cabbage into the pens where the animals were that maybe the boy figured that was the thing to do. They immediately contacted the management and asked if they could search and retrieve the thrown ring and after an hour of looking they determined that they needed a metal detector to locate their lost engagement ring. They returned the next day with a low end metal detector and ended up more frustrated and still could not find the ring. That led Anders to search online for a metal detecting service and one of my stories came up on the ring finders website and he gave me a call. The next day I met Anders and his fiancee and I had them walk me through what all happened and where the young boy was standing when he threw the ring. The management was extremely easy to work with and gave us permission to enter the enclosure and I began a tight grid search over the determined area. There were two high metal fences surrounding the pen and I was hoping and praying that the thrown ring did NOT fall near the base as it was very heavy with thick grass plus all the metal of the fence which would have made the search allot more difficult and time consuming! About 10 minutes into the search I had covered the area that I figured would be a reasonable throw for a four year old…so I began to grid wider and within minutes I got the perfect signal and there laying in the sand and thin grass was the lost engagement ring…fully exposed and what a beautiful sight it was!!

Anders had just given his fiancee the ring only a few months earlier and they were overwhelmed with relief and joy!

History Repeating Itself Averted! Stainless-Steel Chain and Silver St. Christopher Medal Lost, Found, and Returned Wrightsville Beach NC

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

Just before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, I got a call from Robert asking if I could help find his stainless-steel necklace with a St. Christopher Medal. He told me he had called the Ring Finder closer to Wrightsville Beach, John Finnerin, but didn’t get an answer. I could tell by the desperation in his voice that this necklace was very important to him. I told him I’d give John a call and if I couldn’t get him, I’d be on my way. John didn’t answer, so I called Robert back and told him it’d take me almost an hour and a half to get there. Unfortunately, Robert and his wife were already home from vacation, so I needed a good idea of the search area. On the way up to the beach, I called Robert back and discussed all the necessary details I needed. He told me that he rarely took the necklace off. When they set up their chairs for the day on the beach, he took the necklace off and put it in the chair cup holder. When they were packing up and leaving the next day is when he realized his necklace was gone.

When I arrived, and found a place to park, I called Robert back to confirm I was at the right beach access. He also gave me a couple more landmarks that lined up with where I was. I made my way down to the beach access and out on the beach. There was about a 3-4 ft cut (where the waves wash away the sand). Again, I called Robert to verify whether the cut was there the day before, He said it was and they were sitting in front of that, towards the ocean. I got as much information as I needed and went to work. I started at the top of the cut and took my search out to about 15-20 yards on each side of the middle of the access. Within15 minutes, and as I made my 3rd turn to go in the other direction, I got a loud solid signal. The number on my machine was showing me 29, which normally is a quarter. I dug the shallow target out, turned on my headlamp and looked in the scoop. In the bottom of the scoop, there was St Christopher looking up at me. I walked back to the car and took a picture and sent it to Robert. I then called him, and I could tell he was extremely relieved his necklace, and the medal were found, I told him to send me his address, and I’d get it in the mail the next day.

I was curious about the back story concerning the necklace and medal, so I text him. With his permission here’s his story in his own words. “My dad gave that necklace to me when I was 13 (I’m now 25, so 12 years ago). His dad’s mom gave him the same kind of necklace when my dad was around that age too. He wore it at all times. Well, my dad wore his necklace to Wrightsville Beach one year some time in his early-mid-twenties and he lost it in the ocean. Sadly, his mom had passed away between giving him the necklace and him losing it, so it was a really tragic loss for him. My dad ended up getting another one, but he always warned me to not wear mine into the ocean, To this day, I’ve never worn mine in any body of water for that reason. I’m usually extremely careful with it. However, because I wear it all the time, sometimes I forget when it’s on or off. It feels like a part of me. I didn’t realize I had worn it down to the beach on Monday. I was careless when I took it off and placed it in the cup holder of my beach chair. After being on the beach all day, I had forgotten that I put it there. My wife and I started packing up our things, and it must’ve fallen out into the sand right then and there without me realizing. I wouldn’t realize that it was missing until the next morning when we started packing up to go home. Sorry for the long text! There’s a lot to tell being somewhat of a family tradition.”

Robert – Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me to help find and return this precious treasure back to where it belongs.

I heard from Robert today (Friday) and his treasure is back home!

Jim
