Lost a ring in Stone Harbor, NJ?

Don’t wait to call 215-850-0188

Ray’s family thought his wedding band was gone forever. Thankfully, the tide had other plans.

While enjoying a beautiful day at the 86th Street Beach in Stone Harbor, NJ, Ray was wading in waist-deep water. As he moved through the surf, his wedding band slipped off and disappeared beneath the sand.
His daughter quickly contacted Ring Finders South Jersey for help. Calling immediately gave us the best chance for a successful recovery before waves and shifting sand buried the ring deeper.
We met at the beach during ideal search conditions. Ray explained exactly where he believed the ring was lost. Every detail mattered before the search began.
Using professional metal detecting equipment, I established a careful grid search across the suspected area. A systematic search greatly improves recovery success in the ocean.
After covering several passes, my detector produced a strong, repeatable signal. The tone sounded promising.
I carefully took one scoop of sand from the ocean floor.
There it was.
Ray’s wedding band was resting inside the scoop.

Smiles immediately replaced worry. The entire family celebrated as the ring was safely returned.
Recoveries like this remind me why I enjoy helping families throughout South Jersey. Every ring carries memories that simply cannot be replaced.

The family was able to continue enjoying their vacation in beautiful Stone Harbor, NJ, without the stress of losing such an important piece of jewelry.

Beautiful gold wedding ring found in Charlottesville Virginia

  • from Charlottesville (Virginia, United States)
Contact:
Lost your ring, jewelry, cell phone, keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Text or email ASAP 24/7 Mark at 434-987-0568.
Julia contacted me looking for help to find her lost wedding ring. She was out for a walk with her 6 month old child when her ring fell into the leaves along a wooded path. She couldn’t find it right away so she took her child home and came back for a more thorough search. Unfortunately she still had no luck locating the ring. She was able to give me a good description and really narrowed the search area. After about 15 minutes or so I heard the signal I was listening for and there it was hiding under the leaves. So glad I could help get this ring back on Julia’s finger where it belongs.

THE PURSE, THE PANIC, AND THE RING IN THE BROADLEAF GRASS

Some of the best calls I get start the same way: “You’re not going to believe how this happened.”

This one was a backyard BBQ — family, friends, kids running everywhere, the kind of afternoon that’s supposed to end with full stomachs and good memories. And it did, eventually. But not before a few very tense hours.

Somewhere between the burgers and the lawn games, her young son decided his mom’s purse belonged in the mix. To a kid, a purse is just another thing to dig through and toss — right alongside the frisbees and the sidewalk chalk and whatever else was scattered across that yard. So he did what kids do. He emptied it into the grass, piece by piece, without a second thought.

The mom found out and started the recovery mission — wallet, keys, phone, the usual suspects. One by one, she tracked them down in the grass. But when she got to the end of the list, one item was missing: her platinum and diamond engagement ring, tucked in some corner of the purse, now lost somewhere in a yard full of toys, blankets, chairs, and every other distraction a summer BBQ leaves behind.

She searched for hours. On her hands and knees, running her fingers through the grass, hoping to feel that unmistakable shape. Nothing. As the afternoon wore on and the light started to change, she made the call.

I got out there and she walked me through it — where the purse had been, where the boy had been playing, the general path of the chaos. Backyards like this are deceptively tricky. Toys, tent stakes, bottle caps, pull tabs, sprinkler heads — all of it lights up a detector, and all of it has to get checked and ruled out before you can trust what’s underneath.

I started working the area in careful, overlapping passes. Signal after signal, most of them exactly what you’d expect from a yard that had just hosted a full-blown cookout. Then, just a few minutes in, one target stood out — buried under a thick patch of broadleaf grass, low enough to the ground that she’d likely swept right past it a dozen times without ever seeing it.

I parted the grass by hand.

There it was. Platinum band, diamond catching the last of the afternoon light, completely unharmed.

I’ll never get tired of that moment — watching a mom go from exhausted and defeated to covering her mouth in disbelief in about two seconds flat. That’s the whole job, right there.

Lost jewelry in the yard, at the beach, at the lake — anywhere in Hartford County — don’t assume it’s gone for good. Give me a call. There’s a good chance it’s still out there, just waiting for the right eyes — or the right detector — to find it.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered Minnesota Metal Detecting

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

Mike lost his wedding band while tossing a ball with his nephew at a local beach. He was in approx. 4 to 5 feet of water and actually watched it drop into the water. He and his family searched the area and couldn’t find the ring. Mike got on his phone and searched how to find a lost ring in the water and theringfinders.com came up. He gave me a call and we set up a search for the next morning. This beach is detected a lot and I knew it would be wise to search as fast as possible, also I knew the beach would be very clean of any other objects. This helps, so I don’t have to remove old trash. Mike thought it was chest deep and I searched for an hour or so with no hits. He thought it must be in deeper water, which requires scuba diving. So, I went back home and got my gear. I searched again and nothing, so I decided to go into the shallower area and I found it in about 2 to 2 1/2 feet of water. Ya just can’t give up the search and you have to expand the area, as I ‘ve learned through years of recoveries. Who knows what happened, all that matters is Mike has his wedding band back where it belongs!

Congrats Mike.

Wedding Band Lost During Swim Has Been Found Two Days Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Kevin’s group had just kicked off their vacation week at Emerald Isle, NC, when he headed into the ocean, wading in waist- to chest-deep water. That’s when he felt his wedding band of 10 years slip off his finger. A few days later, a friend told him about detectorists who can search for lost items, and on the second morning after losing the ring, Kevin reached out to me.

I was getting ready for a trip out of state and had little time due to packing and appointments, so I told Kevin I could only spare about two hours to search but would give it my best shot.

Arriving just before low tide, I started in the deepest areas but found nothing at first. After about an hour and more conversation with Kevin, my metal detector suddenly gave off a loud signal. Spotting the ring, I called Kevin over with “a very important question” and asked, “Does it look like this?” Kevin was stunned to see his lost wedding ring.

Apple Watch Dropped in Rushing Water of Lytle Creek, CA- FOUND With 1% Battery Left!

  • from Corona (California, United States)
Contact:

We Almost Ran Out of Time!

I received a call in the late afternoon from Maria, who said she found me (somehow) via Chat GPT. I don’t know anything about Chat GPT, but she found me.

Maria said she and the family were enjoying a hot day playing in the cool rushing waters of Lytle Creek. Maria explained that she had taken off her Apple Watch and had set it on her hat that she also had removed. When she was getting out of the creek, she grabbed her hat and the watch fell into the water. There were several large rocks by the shore in the rushing current. Maria’s Apple Watch app on her phone showed the watch was still in that area. The family looked but to no avail.

I told her it would be dark by the time we met up, so we opted to meet the next day. We caravanned to the spot where she smartly had placed a large branch on the guardrail to mark their position adjacent to the creek where they had been playing, which was about 100 yards from the road. The Apple Watch app showed the watch was still there. Maria, her two sons, and her sister and I climbed down to the spot in the creek and I saw a large bunch of boulders. The water was flowing fairly fast. I had bought a clear plastic bin in hopes that I could use it as an underwater “viewer”. Unfortunately, the water was too turbulent. So that left trying to hand search around and under the big rocks, where they felt pretty confident it had dropped. Not finding any success, I pulled out my Garrett Pinpointer and checked the rocks closest to me. The watch had a metal band. No luck. I then handed it to Maria, as she was better situated a little higher by another large rock with water flowing by it. I explained to her that if there was something metal it detected, it would vibrate. She began probing down in the water between rocks and she suddenly looked up and said it was vibrating. I took it from her and put it back down into the void and, sure enough, it started vibrating. I reached in and began feeling around. Unfortunately, it was full of roots. But a bit more searching and I felt the watch and band and brought it to the surface.

Maria is a strong woman of Faith. Before this adventure got started, we had met up at a gas station near by and would convoy from there. As we started to leave, a homeless man and his dog were walking by. Maria stopped her car and got out and interacted with the gentleman and dog. Just taking the time trying to uplift another less fortunate person and canine companion.

She kept telling me that she just had a good feeling about today and that God was leading her. The smile on her face when I brought the watch up was a sight to behold. They all started cheering! Then, Maria looked at her watch. There was only 1% charge left on the battery! I guess her good feeling about the day was true.
I was happy to be a part of this happy ending, because when you drop something in a fast moving creek or river, the outcome many times isn’t as happy.

White Gold Engagement Ring with diamonds Lost on the Beach, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

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

On Saturday July 18, 2026 just after midnight. I received the following message on my business suite from Heather saying, “Hey there! I’m sure this is a long shot but I was at the beach directly in front of Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort at Grande Dunes yesterday morning with my two little boys and I believe my engagement ring may have fallen out of our bag. I specifically put it inside our beach bag in a Ziploc bag with my wedding band, which was in the bag, but I cannot locate the engagement ring. If you are looking up at the resort from the beach, we were just to the left of it. I’ll send a reference pic. If you by chance locate one in this area, can you please let me know? We live in Charleston but are from Myrtle Beach. Just celebrated our 10 year anniversary in June and I’m devastated.” I didn’t see her message until after I received the following text from her husband just before 8 a.m. in the morning.  “Hey Jim. My name is David. My wife took my 4 and 2 year old to the beach by the Marriott Grande Dunes on Friday and she lost her wedding ring. She said she put it in a bag and it might have fallen out where she was sitting, I wanted to see if you possibly had any availability today to help find it. We live in Charleston but would be happy to meet you to retrace steps.” I called David and got a few more details, like where his wife Heather had been sitting, etc. About 9 a.m. I decided I’d go ahead and go look for the ring hopefully beating the crowd and the heat. David also sent me some Google earth pictures showing me the area, the resort’s chair line, and where Heather had been sitting.

When I arrived and walked out on the beach, I studied the pictures to make sure I was in the right spot. There were very few people taking up the chairs and umbrellas that the lifeguards put out daily during the summer. David had sent me Heather’s phone number and told me it was ok to Face time her, which I did. Heather pointed out that she had been between 2 red umbrellas that had been set up. Thinking those 2 umbrellas were probably not in the same location they were 2 days ago, I extended my search area. I was able to do a north/south grid search from behind the chair line, along the chair line and under the umbrellas and out to the incoming tide line. I had no luck and was out of options. This is a high end resort, and it’s not easy to get into, so I had a good feeling that a casual beach searcher wouldn’t have found it. On the way off the beach, I just had a feeling that I should stop by the front desk and have them check the lost and found. When I showed the desk clerk the picture of Heather’s ring and asked him if anyone had turned it in, he had a look like he recognized the ring. He told me to hold on, while he checked 4 drawers under the counter and then disappeared in the back. I assumed he checked the safe because he was gone for a few minutes. When he reappeared he was holding an envelope that he opened in front of me. Boom, we had a perfect match. The clerk told me that the ring had been turned in by a pool employee, which means it was either lost at the pool or someone found it on the beach and gave it to the first employee they encountered. I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Heather with a text saying “Yours?” Then I called her. She immediately answered and said “yes, yes, yes!” It just so happened, that she was driving back up to Myrtle Beach from Charleston to retrace all her stops the day she lost her ring, Walmart, a gas station and the resort. We agreed to meet at the resort so she could get her ring back. About an hour later, Heather and I met at the resort and she was so excited to get her ring back.

Heather and David, thank you for trusting me to help find your ring.

Jim

Lost iPhone, FOUND! By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Tom. Tom explained that after enjoying a day fishing he dropped his iPhone off the dock and into the murky muddy bottom of the Commodore Marina in Avalon, NJ. We arranged to meet the following day so that we could catch the low tide as it would be the most practical time to attempt to recover the phone. I arrived the next day, about an hour before dead low tide, ahead of Tom. Tom explained that he was cleaning some trigger fish when he accidentally knicked his hand while cleaning the fish with a knife. He picked up his phone and was trying to call his buddy over so that he could tend to his wound when the phone slipped from his grip and dropped into the water. Tom and marina staff attempted to retrieve the phone with nets and magnet but were not successful. Tom provided very good location specifics so as soon as I arrived I began checking the area. As soon as I plunged the detector into the water I immediately detected a loud signal, typically associated with a large target. After two scoops I had the phone in my scoop and it was still on and functioning, all before Tom arrived! Another happy ending another successful recovery!

Toms Google Review:

“We planned to meet at low tide to search for my iPhone which had fallen into the murky bay two days earlier. When I got to the dock, Jeff had gotten there ahead of me and had already located and retrieved my phone from the spot I had described. Amazingly, the phone still had a charge and worked! High praise for Jeff’s skill and professionalism.”

2 Gold Rings Recovered in Va Beach!

  • from Virginia Beach (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Got a call about 2 lost gold rings this afternoon! They were lost in shoulder deep water. One diamond ring was her mother’s ring and had sentimental value. It was not an easy recovery! Over an hour in shoulder deep water with waves coming in! After digging some change, an earring, a lighter I got another good hit. The wedding band came out first! She saw both rings come off together so I knew the diamond ring should be close and it was. So happy to get the rings back especially her mother’s diamond!
