Received a call from Steph this evening after being recommended to her on a local FB group. Steph explained that her friend, Amber, lost her engagement ring while brushing sand off of her hands at Sunset Beach. She and her friends had been sifting thru the sand on their hands and knees for over an hour with no success. Took the ten minute ride over to Sunset Beach from home and met up with Amber, Steph, & the rest of their party. There was a palpable nervous tension but I tried to reassure the group that I would get the ring back. Started a tight grid pattern and recovered Ambers ring on the second pass in about 5 minutes. Tears of joy flowed! Another happy client! For more stories like this please be sure to like and follow my page!

Sometimes you have to phone it in!

  • from Media (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:


Last month I received a call from Eli in ChesterBrook whose beautiful gold phoenix ring launched off his finger whilst he was tossing some apples into the woods at his house to feed the deer! After searching a while himself he reached out for a helping hand. We started in the ivy below his deck but true to Chris’ words, the ring was almost exactly 45* from where Eli had been standing when he threw it. As I carefully went through the ivy, Eli stepped away to take a phone call and nearly tripped over the ring! Very happy to have been able to help, even though Eli actually found the ring!! Sometimes it helps to take a step back.

Lost USC Trojans Class ring found on a hillside by Dave The RingFinder in Santa Clarita

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:

If you have lost a ring or other valuable piece of jewelry then don’t hesitate to call or text Dave The RingFinder at 805-290-5009 so he can formulate a plan to recover your ring! No matter the location give Dave The Ringfinder a call and take advantage of his years of professional metal detecting experience.

I got a call Monday night from Randy who had lost his most valuable USC Trojans class ring. He had just returned from a 3-week trip and had been in his backyard at his Stevenson Ranch home throwing some oranges over the fence onto the hillside below. On one throw he felt his ring fly off and he heard a loud “clang” as it hit the fence and disappeared into the brush below. He and his son began to look into the bushes and knee high grass but no ring showed up so Randy turned to google.

After a few minutes Randy found Dave The RingFinder and he gave me a call. Randy had a ton of questions for me and I answered all of them as best I could and we agreed to meet the next morning at 8am.

After I arrived Randy showed me around and the areas he thought the ring would have likely ended up in and so I hopped the fence and turned on my Minelab Manticore and proceeded to cover the hill. I remembered too late that it is always better to detect uphill on the slope but quickly figured it out as I fell and slid down the hill. Lesson learned. After covering the area Randy had begun to lose hope and I told him not to worry that if it was there I was going to find it. I stopped to pray about the ring and I was told to go down the hill.

I tried to reason with God why I should continue to search the bushes and grass but the overwhelming message was clear, go down the hill. So I proceeded to move lower and began to search under these large bushes well down the hill. There was one left but it was to the left of the property line but I had looked everywhere else so I put my detector under it and got a loud signal. I got on my hands and knees but I still couldn’t get close enough so onto my belly I went and slid under the bush. There it was in all it’s glory! Randy’s 1982 USC Trojan ring! I laid there, threw up the “V” for victory and praised God and started to hum “Tusk”.

Since Randy had lost hope I had the chance to suprise him so climbed back up and over the fence and met him in the kitchen. I told him I wanted to shake his hand before I left and I flashed him the ring and he let out with a loud ‘Fight On” and some other words as he realized that he and SC were back again.

If you accidentally lose your ring throwing and orange or even throwing a fit, call or text Dave The RingFinder. Whether you lost it in the water, the wet sand, dry sand, grass, hillside or you’re just not sure, call right away and let Dave go to work on your behalf. Serving all of Malibu, Santa Clarita, Ventura County and Santa Barbara, Dave The RingFinder (805-290-5009) is the #1 choice for professional metal detecting services.

He reached into the muck, feeling around carefully. Then he smiled and joked, “There are some big clams in this harbor.”

He pulled up a dripping wet iPhone.

Shannon’s face lit up. She was stunned—and thrilled. Her phone had been retrieved fast, increasing the chance it could still work after drying out.

John said helping people like this never gets old. “Every recovery is unique. Seeing that joy on someone’s face is why I do it.”

Lost Gold Chain and Medallion, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag

Lost a ring? Dont wait Call NOW!

Two weeks ago I received a call from Rich around 8pm while he was on his way home from Cape May. Rich explained that he was out enjoying a day on the bay when a squall came in that afternoon causing him to abruptly pack up and head for his car. In the process he dropped his gold chain and medallion which were given to him by his late parents. Rich expressed his concern and urgency to attempt to recover this item. When Rich called, I was out to dinner with family, but after gathering some location details I decided that I would try for his chain that same evening once we returned back home. One of the more difficult aspects of this recovery was the location. Rich had parked at the end of New England Road and walked about 1 & 1/2 miles along the bay to where he set up. Luckily he snapped a photo and I was able to find the area he was sitting based upon the drift wood in the photo Rich sent. After arriving to the area around 11pm that evening, the chain and medallion was recovered shortly there after. I kept Rich’s chain in safe keeping until he was able to come back down to pick up his chain. Rich asked for his photo to be excluded from the post, but see his review below. Another happy customer!
” I can’t thank Jeff enough for his diligence in going out the beach at 11pm on a stormy night to find my chain and medallion for me, forever grateful! “

Lost Gold Bracelet Recovered in Gibsonton FL

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered July 7, 2025.

I received a text from Pedro in the morning asking for help locating a gold bracelet with sentimental value which was lost somewhere in his yard. The bracelet was a gold “figaro” style bracelet which was lost while he was mowing his yard.

He had reviewed his security cameras and was able to determine he had the bracelet on when he started mowing, but it was missing from his arm when he returned the mower back to the garage. He had been looking for it for the past couple weeks, afraid to cut his yard again for fear of damaging or destroying the bracelet. He had even borrowed a neighbor’s Fisher metal detector to look for it himself, but was unable to find it.

I set up a time to dive out to Pedro’s house after work. We had a narrow window due to Pedro working the night shift and he needed to be at his job at 8:00pm. Gibsonton is about a 1-hour drive from my house (with traffic) and I was going to be fighting the rush hour crowd.

I arrived at Pedro’s house at about 6:00 and hoped to locate this bracelet quickly. He said the most likely place is the back yard, so that’s where I started my search. The back yard was overgrown and I began gridding the area in park mode and had some nice sounding targets which warranted further inspection, but did not produce the bracelet.

Bracelets and chains can be tricky depending on how they are laying on the ground. Knowing this, I changed modes to a more sensitive setting and set out to grid the back yard a second time. I hit all the same targets and a few additional, but still no bracelet.

I wandered into the side of the property and front yard to rule those areas out. Pedro met me out front and it had been an hour and he needed to start getting ready for work. I could see he was losing hope that the bracelet wouldn’t be recovered. I told him I would go over the back yard one more time.

I put the detector into goldfield mode, which is the most sensitive mode. It will beep on everything. I went back to the gate to the back yard and started swinging again. I had new targets popping up that I didn’t hear before. One target near the edge of the fence caught my attention and when I looked closer to investigate, I saw a glimmer of gold reflecting the sunlight and I knew this was what I had been searching for!

I sat patiently and waited for Pedro to finish getting ready for work. He emerged from his house and his jaw dropped when he saw me standing there, holding his lost bracelet!

Lost Wedding Ring Found on St. Pete Beach

  • from Tampa (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Item recovered July 2, 2025.

While I was unsuccessfully searching for a ring (second attempt) on St. Pete Beach, a young man named Quinn saw me from a distance and came running over to me asking for help locating a ring.

He and some friends were on a vacation from Canada and a couple nights prior, had a water balloon fight at night in the sand just behind the Mariner Beach Club on St. Pete Beach. One of his friends, who was recently married, lost his ring in the sand during the friendly fight. They all searched the sand multiple times while they picked up the balloon remnants from the sand with no luck. His friend that lost the ring flew back to Canada the day prior and Quinn was headed home in a couple days.

Quinn wasn’t sure what the ring looked like, or was made of, but he was able to show me the general area where it was lost. I had plenty of daylight left and the area wasn’t large, so I started to grid the area. The size of the sand area from the Mariner to the water is expansive, but was reduced in size due to a roped-off area protecting birds during nesting season, so this allowed me to focus on a smaller area.

I gridded from far to near, and as I drew closer to the resort, I started seeing small pieces of rubber balloon pieces and I knew I was in the right spot. 20 minutes later, I had hit a very good sounding target and located a men’s wedding ring. I was hopeful this was the lost ring!

I found Quinn who was grilling dinner and showed him the ring. He was excited, but needed to contact his buddy to confirm this was the missing ring. He grabbed his phone, set up a facetime call and his friend confirmed his lost ring was found!

Wedding Band Recovered in the Gulf

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Jason asked if I could look for his wedding band that he was sure was lost forever. Gave it a 3% chance of finding but had me look anyway for closure. He estimated it was lost on a sandbar in the gulf about 50 feet off shore and within a 250 linear foot sandbar. I Started a grid and found it just about in the center of the area. Jason was attending to his baby back at the condo when I found it but the rest of his family and in-laws were watching my progress from the beach. Everyone was impressed with the recovery thinking that the search was a folly. Jason was extremely happy and I’m sure the rest of his vacation was regret free. Glad I could help!

Lost gold ring in water, Withlacoochee River, Hernando County Florida…found by Florida Ring Finder!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Bennie and his friends were enjoying the day along the Withlacoochee River swimming and taking turns swinging on a rope over the water. As Bennie let go of the rope he felt his gold ring come off of his finger and a sick feeling came over him. This was a very special ring given to him by his father 5 years ago and he has treasured it ever since. And now it had fallen into the depths of the silty river bottom! He and his friends tried diving down and feeling with their hands but the 8 foot depth and uneven bottom was more of a challenge than they could endure. Bennie called his mother and told her what happened and she went online and found Mr. Steve Thomas who is one of the Ring Finders in the West Florida area but unfortunately he only does shallow water and land searches so he recommended they call me to see if I could help them. After hearing their story I decided to meet them at the sight the following day. It was a 2 hour drive but we finally arrived and began setting up my PVC grid, my BLU3 Nemo dive system, mask, wet suit and fins. Bennie was very sure of where he and his ring fell into the water so down I went and began searching along my PVC grid that was setting on the bottom. The first 2 signals were deeper in the sand so I left them and the 3rd signal was louder on my hand held Pulse Dive unit and there sitting on top of the sandy bottom was Bennie’s lost gold ring! I really wanted to continue searching for other targets as the rope swing area was a favorite for the locals but I had noticed just before my entering the water that there was a group of people just waiting for me to finish up so they could enjoy jumping off of the tree and swinging on the rope…so I slowly ascended with Bennie’s gold ring tucked safely in my finds pouch. Bennie was intently watching me as I swam up to shore and as I smiled and gestured with a thumbs up…he began grinning from ear to ear! What a thrill it is to be able to conduct a search, find the lost item and then to return it to someone that is hurting and feeling a great heaviness and loss! And then to experience seeing them transform to happiness and joy and see more tears…only these are tears of sheer relief and thankfulness!

I always pray and ask God to help me be a blessing to each person that calls me for my assistance. How can I help you today? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk! 321-363-6029

Avalon NJ Lost Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

Lost A Ring in

Avalon, New Jersey? Don’t Wait!

CALL JOHN 

215-850-0188

Earlier this week, I received a call from Michelle about a lost silver and gold ring in Avalon, NJ. Jane was enjoying a beautiful late afternoon with friends when a fun moment turned into a sudden panic.

 

While standing near the water’s edge, Jane was tossing clam shells into the ocean when she felt her precious silver and gold ring slip right off her finger. It was one of those slow-motion moments where you realize too late that something valuable is gone. Her heart sank as quickly as the ring did.

 

Thinking fast, Jane marked the area where the ring was lost by writing the word “HELP” in large letters in the sand. Smart move! This helped locate the spot with the metal detector a short time later.

 

Michelle and Jane were at beach, and she pointed out the area near the surf. We only had a short window of time before the incoming tide would wash away the sand and make the search more difficult, scanning the area with the metal detector.

 

After just a few passes, there was a strong signal. Digging carefully, scooped into the wet sand and there it was Jane’s silver and gold ring, safely recovered!

 

The look of relief and happiness on her face said it all. This ring wasn’t just jewelry—it held personal meaning and memories. Being able to return it was an absolute joy.

 

Another successful recovery at the Jersey Shore! If you ever find yourself in a similar situation—whether in Avalon or anywhere from Brigantine to Cape May—don’t panic. Reach out right away. Quick action makes all the difference, and we are  happy to help!

 

Visit RingFindersSouthJersey.com or call/text 215-850-0188 if you’ve lost something valuable at the beach.
