Lost a ring in Ocean City, New Jersey?

Call Now! 215-850-0188

Losing a treasured piece of jewelry—especially an engagement ring—can be a heart-wrenching experience. That’s exactly what happened to Heather during a visit to Ocean City, NJ. One moment she was soaking up the sun, and the next, she noticed her engagement ring was gone.

Heather wasn’t exactly sure where she lost it. It could’ve been at home, in the car, or somewhere along the beach. Still, her instincts told her the sandy shoreline of Ocean City was the most likely spot.

In a moment of panic but holding onto hope, Heather reached out to Ring Finders South Jersey, having heard about our metal detecting recovery service. I got to the beach as quickly as I could, and Heather pointed out the general area where she had spent time earlier that day.

With the tide still low, I began a careful grid search using professional-grade metal detecting gear. After a few passes, a strong signal caught my attention.

I stopped, knelt down, and gently began to dig beneath the surface. Just a few scoops in, there it was—Heather’s sparkling engagement ring, buried just inches under the sand.

The look on Heather’s face when I returned the ring was unforgettable—pure relief and joy. It had slipped off without her even realizing, but thankfully, we were able to recover it before the tide or foot traffic swept it away for good.

These moments never get old. Every successful recovery is a reminder of how meaningful these items truly are.

If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, keys, or any other valuables in Ocean City, NJ—don’t give up. Ring Finders South Jersey specializes in locating lost items in sand, surf, water, or even in your own yard. The sooner you act, the better the chance of recovery.

Don’t let a beautiful day at the beach turn into lasting regret.

How to find lost ring with Metal Detector, Surf City NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

 

It was a perfect day for the beach, so Nicole and her friends decided to spend the afternoon soaking up the sun. At one point, Nicole took off her rings to apply sunblock, and her friend tucked them into her pocket for safekeeping. Somehow, in the hustle of the day, the rings slipped out and disappeared into the soft white sand of the Jersey Shore. When they realized the rings were missing, panic quickly set in. Like many in this situation, they started searching frantically through the sand but had no luck. That’s when they realized it was time to call in a professional with a metal detector.

After speaking with Nicole, we agreed I should come down immediately to start the search. Her friend met me at the dune walkover and explained what had happened as we made our way back to their spot. Once we arrived, I moved all their belongings aside and began the search. Just a few seconds into it, I heard the telltale sound, and soon enough, the rings were safely in my scoop.

What could have been a tragic loss turned into a happy ending, thanks to a little patience and a quick call to me at NJ Ring Finder !!!!!!

Wedding Ring Recovered in Durham

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

I got a text from a gentleman who had lost his wedding ring while mowing the grass. He said he had lost it about two weeks earlier and had searched for it (including borrowing a metal detector), but had been unable to find it. In the two weeks it had been lost, we’d had a number of major rainstorms, so I expected the ring at best, to be sitting on top of the soil and at worst, to have started to sink down into the soil. We made arrangements to meet the same day, and arriving at his house I could see that roughly half of his yard had been mowed and half was a little “overgrown”. He explained he was concerned that if it had fallen off in an unmowed area and he ran across it, the mower blade could have flung it elsewhere in the yard. For that reason, he stopped the mowing and started the search. When I arrived, he showed me where he was when he noticed the ring was no longer on his finger. Given that clue as a headstart, I began grid searching the yard, making sure to overlap my sweeps. On the fifth pass I got a rock solid signal and checking with my pinpointer, saw the ring. It was not visible from above – it had fallen through the grass – but was sitting on the soil, covered with grass clippings.

Every ring recovery is special, but this one was especially nice. He was overjoyed to get his ring back, but his wife was absolutely beside herself. Very glad to be a part of another happy ending!

Metal Detector LBI, lost ring on beach, Loveladies NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Jessica reached out to me about a special ring her husband, Brian, had lost earlier in the day while they were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. The ring had slipped off his thumb and disappeared into the sand. After searching for a while without success, Jessica decided to ask for my help. I requested that she call instead of texting, as it’s easier to communicate that way.

When Brian called, I immediately recognized his voice from a meeting about a year earlier when he needed help locating another item. I advised them to secure the area so that no one else would set up their chairs, ensuring I had a clear space to search.

Upon my arrival, Brian pointed out the spot where he thought the ring had fallen. I quickly got to work, and before long, the ring was in my sand scoop. It was back on Brian’s hand where it belonged, much to his excitement. The ring had a unique, one-of-a-kind design and was likely irreplaceable, making the recovery even more meaningful.

Minnesota1960 Class Ring Recovered in Wisconsin

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

One of the many reasons I love my job!!! As I was on a scuba wedding ring search in Wisconsin, I found a 1960 Minnesota Class Ring. Class rings are exciting to find as they have all the information needed to find it’s owner. The high school, the graduation year and the initials of the owner. The person who lost this would now be 83 years old. After 40+ years of metal detecting, I could tell by the depth of rock/sand/muck this ring was found in, she lost it over 60 years ago. I called the library for the city the school is in. I talked to a young lady and told her what I was looking for, she was almost as excited as I was to find the name of the ring owner. She scanned the 1960 yearbook for the initials I gave her and it could only be one person.  She gave me her name “Beth” and now the internet search starts to locate the ring owner. There was no information with her name though I found an obituary for Beth’s mother, it had all the children listed(10) and I started searching for those names. I came across an add on “Next Door” for a small business that Beth’s sister has. I called and talked to Sarah. Sarah informed me that Beth had past away a few years back. I told Sarah that I’d still like to get the ring back to the family and she told me that Beth has a son, Bill. Bill contacted me and he now has the ring in his possession.

So glad I could get this beautiful 1960 Class Ring back where it belongs.

Sterling Silver Wedding Ring Lost In The Ocean Park, Old Orchard Beach Maine Surf, Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)
Contact:

Late Wednesday Evening, on August 6th, I received the following message, from Marjorie

“Hi. Just this evening , Wednesday I lost a Silver Ring/ Wedding Band – a simple band (sz 7). Long story short: around 7:30-8pm, my kids found it in the crab bucket (they were putting the crabs back in the ocean), then my daughter wore it, but went into the edge of the water where it slipped off her finger. They were in front of the lifeguard station between Casco Ave. & Tioga Ave, here in Ocean Park, Maine (we’re staying at ** ******* Ave). We just looked around and couldn’t find it and the tide is coming up. Do you think you could help me find my supposed to be interim replacement wedding band? Thanks for any help! My phone # is 802-***-****. I will try looking for it after sunrise. Thanks.”

It was now approximately 9:45pm and I immediately messaged Marjorie back, with the following two messages

“Hi Marjorie, So sorry to hear this. I would need to look at the tide charts, to see when the best time to search is.
In the interim, is this the area you think the ring is in?” I then sent a photo

“Hi Marjorie, Gary Hill and I will arrive at 5:00am. The tide will be lower than it was tonight and should give us a few hours to search, for your Silver Wedding Ring. With two of us, we can cover more ground.”
Marjorie did confirm the area and we would meet her at 5:00am
When Gary and I arrived, Marjorie was already there, with her son Dawson. The sun hadn’t risen yet but the sky was beautiful. Marjorie explained what had happened and where she thinks the ring was lost. The tide still out quite a bit so Gary and I decided to grid search, from out on the wet sand, up towards the shore, until we reached the hide tide mark. Facing the shore, Gary would search to the left of the lifeguard stand and I would search the right side. I figured the entire area could be searched in approximately an hour, with both of us there. We weren’t finding much, other than the usual beach trash. At one point I had a dime and I had Dawson come over to see what a dime would sound like, in the headphones. It definitely put a smile on his face, as he nodded his head. Gary and I had now reached the slope, heading up to the high tide mark and dry sand. I asked Marjorie if we didn’t find it here, where else would the Sterling Silver Wedding Ring be. Since she didn’t actually see the ring get lost, from her daughter’s finger, Marjorie thought that we should pick up the search, just south of the lifeguard stand. We would start the search, at the southern end of Gary’s grid line and hope for the best. As I reached the high tide mark and dry sand, I started across the area, as Gary was almost up to the high tide mark. I was cutting through Gary’s area when right at the high tide mark, I received a very loud high tone, reading 91 on my Minelab Manticore. As soon as I heard the tone and saw the 91, on the VDI screen, I knew immediately it had to be the Solver Wedding Ring. Without digging, I told Gary that I had found thr ring. I also called Marjorie and Dawson over, telling them I was certain this was the Silver Wedding Ring. I asked Dawson if he would do the honors of running the coil, over the sand, where the target was, just to make sure it was there, so Gary could pinpoint it. Once Dawson located the target, Gary used his pinpointer and took a scoop of sand, with his hand and pulled a ring out. Smiles broke out on both Marjorie’s and Dawson’s face. As a beautiful sunrise was unfolding, so weren’t the smiles. We just love being able to help others out, in their time of need. Marjorie sent me a message the next day, thanking us again
“Thanks so much again! I initially lost it when the kids caught crabs by the channel in Ocean Park and I got brave enough to grab the crabs in/ out of the bucket(s) that we took back to the house at ******* Ave. That was before dinner at about 5:30-6pm. We made the kids put the crabs back into the ocean before sunset around 7:30-8. Dawson, my 8 yo, said he saw a ring in one of the buckets and gave it to his sister Gabriella as they played soccer with the volleyball. 🏐 The ring slipped off as she went in and out of the surf. Thank goodness for that lifeguard stand to help us remember the location of where she might have lost the ring 💍! Like I said,I initially lost my original wedding band back home in ********, Vermont and I’m having replacement ones made. I bought this “interim” wedding band just to show I’m married!
Again thank you so much!
Marge”

Eastham, MA Necklace “The Bean” Dug from the Sand and Returned by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

A preface to my blog:

“The Tiffany Bean Necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry; it is a cultural symbol. Over the years, it has become synonymous with personal milestones—from graduations to anniversaries, and even as a gesture of self-love. The necklace represents a connection to significant life moments, encapsulating memories and emotions that are often cherished by its wearers.” Quoted from: wearfortune.com/blogs

July 20, 2025 As it happened to be the summer tourist season the main highway thought the Outer Cape on Cape Cod (route 6) is usually bumper to bumper unless you can travel late night or early morning. My luck the tide would be low and a early morning search possible. Parking would be another problem. My luck again was on my side. A vacationer was packing his vehicle at the end of his stay. He was all-in to let me park in “his” driveway while I went to search for the lost “Bean”.

Ready for the search, I preceded to the area described to me and then did a grid search. Not finding the necklace and wondering where to move my search area to. Luke shows up and told me the difference between what I counted as 2 wood posts was a bit short of what he had counted. OK another 50 feet down the beach and I saw some of the previous night’s search marks in the sand. I started to search swinging my detector in a precise pattern. About two minutes into the grid, Bingo, I heard a promising signal, took a shallow scoop and saw the necklace hanging from the end of my scoop.

The search was over, just as Luke’s sister (the Beans owner) was strolling down the beach toward our location as we were about to leave. Smiles and thank you along with me getting the relationship, to each other of those, that came to watch. I knew my trip home would also be easy as all the traffic build up would be in the other direction of travel this morning. Nothing but smiles and a good cup of coffee are a perfect beginning for any day.

Craigville, MA Beach Club Gives Up Lost Ring to Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

August 10, 2025 It started two days ago while Brian and his friends were frolicking in waist deep water when King Neptune admired and help Brian’s wedding band slip off his finger. All the searching was unable to find the well hidden ring for two days. Eleanor the local Metal Detector dealer would not rent the men a water detector as she well knows one is not the easiest instrument to get the desired results. She strongly suggested that Brian call a member of TheRingFinders. Brian did but I was already out searching for an-other’s ring. When I got back to my phone I called and made arrangements to meet up at 6:30AM the next morning.

I was ready to go and waited the next fine minutes for Brian and his friends to show me just were the ring had been lost. It is always most helpful to be shown in person by the person who lost the object just where the item had been lost. My searching lasted about two hours going north to south and back then a pattern of east to west and back. With nothing of interest found I started searching in diagonal patterns. Again nothing. Now the tide was coming in and I still had not found the ring. OK. I would have to come back at the next low tide.

I did not make the evening low tide as I was called about a lost necklace with a fireman’s cross medallion. I thought I could make both recovery sites, but I did not. Additionally the owner of the Beach Club had mentioned just before we left after the early morning search that they expected the beach to be very crowded in the afternoon. I knew the ring was not going anywhere so I would go in the morning when I would not have to search around a crowd of bathers.

5:30AM and I was ready to go. I went to the dry sand and did a very cursory scan in the area the guys had been sitting two days ago. The plan I had in mind was to go to the buoy in a straight line from the the sandy beach. All was going as planned until, less than a minute, my detector gave me a signal I would not refuse to dig. In the scoop I brushed away a couple handful of shells and then I saw the glitter of gold. My search was over when I saw the T/B engraved on the inside of the band.

This is another reason I never take some of the information given to me as a golden rule, after all one’s memory of loosing a ring is not always clear. Back at the car I called Brian and within 7 minutes he was wearing his wedding band again, now with a smile on his face.
