Lost ring in the driveway


Lost Ring Recovery in North Wildwood, NJ
Bella contacted me about a lost ring in the sand for her twin sister, Brianna. The two were enjoying a sunny beach day in North Wildwood, NJ, when disaster struck. Brianna’s wedding band and engagement ring slipped off her finger into the soft sand.
After a frantic search, Brianna found only her engagement ring. The wedding band, however, remained lost despite their best efforts. That’s when Bella called me John Favano, Ring Finder specializing in lost ring recovery with a metal detector.
I arrived at the North Wildwood beach quickly and began searching the area with my metal detector. After just a few sweeps across the sand, a glint caught my eye. It was Brianna’s lost wedding band, shining beneath my detector coil.
I returned the ring to a stunned and grateful Brianna. Her expression of relief and joy said it all. It’s moments like this that make ring recovery in North Wildwood truly rewarding.

Recently another text for help to find a lost wedding band buried in the sand beeped on my cell phone after 9pm… This day & age it’s best for me to search the area immediately due to an influx of newbie hobby detectorist’s scanning all hours of the day & night. Typically rings lost in the San Diego beach sands last 0-2 days in the summer before it is found & gone forever. That is why contacting me immediately increases the chance of finding your precious jewelry before them.
However, This small beach named Seaside reef located in Cardiff San Diego county has a gated entrance not open after sunset. So after some questions & concerns we agreed to meet there in the morning just after the parking lot opened up.
Promptly arriving with my metal detector equipment as planned,Sammy text me she was running 10 min behind with a description of the exact place to search until she got there.
As I was patiently preparing with plenty of time to kill,,I looked 30’ across in the parking lot to my amazement another person was gearing up with his metal detector to search this same small beach!
So I darted over to stake the claim on a 10x10’ small area,,Kindly leaving him with the entire rest of the beach & trash buried there..Is when this lost wedding band was saved from the sands in a matter of a few precious minutes! She was so relieved as you can see this wedding ring with inscriptions meant a whole lot to them.
Don’t wait too long as a new gold rush of detectorist’s are raiding California beaches for booty treasure & Youtube content. Your buried keepsake could be gone forever!

I received a frantic call from a lovely woman who was absolutely distraught. Oh no, she’d lost her diamond wedding ring set at St. Augustine Beach, Florida.
She explained that she had been refinishing furniture in her garage and, to protect them, slipped her rings into her back pant pocket. Deciding to take a break, she headed to the beach to walk her dogs. She also put a dog poop bag in the same pocket. Somewhere along their walk, several blocks down the beach, she pulled out the dog poop bag. When she got home, she realized her wedding rings were gone.
I immediately met her, and we walked up and down the beach. She desperately tried to retrace her steps, hoping to pinpoint where she might have pulled out the plastic bag, thinking that’s when the rings fell out. I searched the area for several hours, but unfortunately, had no luck. Due to the rising tide, I had to return the next day to continue the search across the large area. Again, no luck, though I was quite certain that if the rings had been lost in the areas we searched, I would have found them.
The lady was incredibly thankful for all my efforts but told me she had given up hope of ever finding them. I reassured her to never give up hope, promising I would continue my search. That night, I lost sleep, racking my brain for other possible locations.
Early the next morning, I called her and told her I was heading back to St. Augustine. I suggested we search her garage, even though she was convinced the rings were lost on the beach.
Her wedding set was located right there, under the workbench in her garage. She had tears of joy!

Haley had gone to a party at a house on a sand pit lake. While she was in the water her engagement ring fell off. These sand pits drop off quickly. She just happened to be close to the edge of that drop off. She was in water about 48 inches deep, I later found her ring at a depth of 13 foot. Panic and dispare set in as she realized what happened. A few people came with metal detectors and a local in a dive club dove and did a visual, all with no success. Eventually the wedding came and with it did a new ring, but it just wasn’t the same one. The one he picked out, the one he got down on one knee in the sunset of Hawaii. Fast forward a few years, I came across her original social meadia post and messaged about it. Time came to execute a recovery plan that I was thinking about all winter. It was my honor to return such a special ring back to Haley. Life is hard, together lets make smiles!




I got a call about a ring lost in waist deep water. The area was not accessable by land so we loaded up the boat and took off. I was met at the location by a family member in another boat. TRhe ring was given to him for graduation by his mother and then converted to a wedding band later, It took about an hour to locate but we did recover it! Smiles all around!


Donna contacted me to help search her burned Altadena home.
I was able to help recover quite a lot for her and her husband Anthony including:
- Her late father’s Dog Tag from military service
- 8 large silver dollar coins
- 4 rings
- 17 assorted pieces of jewelry including bracelets, earrings, chains, and a belt buckle
- 6 pieces of silver flatware
- A half bucket of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies
…and numerous other items including ceramics, keys, and other jewelry melted together
It was a very successful search for them.
I received a text right at noon saying, “I don’t know if this is the right number, but I found it online for a ring finder at Myrtle Beach. I lost my tungsten wedding ring in the waves out at the beach near 19th Ave south and Southern Breeze Oceanfront. Is there any possible chance it could even be found, or would the undertow and waves at about 3 feet deep have carried it out?” I called the attached number and talked to Logan and asked him what time he lost it. He said about an hour before his text. I looked up the tide table for Myrtle Beach and high tide was at 11:27 am. Perfect, the tide had changed, so I told him there was a great chance of finding it and I’d be there at 3 pm. That would put me there right at mid-tide.
Right around 2 pm, I was getting antsy, so I text him saying I was on my way. With this being Sunday, I was concerned the beach would be packed with tourist and there wouldn’t be any parking. I got lucky with both and met Logan on the beach. He showed me the area and explained that he was about knee deep. He also made a comment about getting hit in the back with a wave. This confused me a little, in that I thought he may have been deeper than he thought with an outgoing tide. He gave me the north and south boundaries, and I started an east/west perpendicular to the beach grid line. After almost an hour and a half of searching and extending my search area on all four sides, I was coming up with nothing. Towards the end I was going in the ocean knee deep at mid tide. I went so far as asking a lady, who’d been on the beach longer than I was, if she saw anybody else with a detector. I also asked the lifeguard if anybody had turned in a ring. I was whooped, both mentally and physically. I called Logan and told him I couldn’t find it. I could tell in his voice he was hurt that I couldn’t find his ring.
I drove a couple of blocks towards home and remembered I had brought a second detector, which I usually do as a back-up. I called Logan back and told him I was going back to try again with a different detector. Logan had already called his wife, who’ll be here later this week, and told her he lost it, I was going to search, and then that I couldn’t find it. So, they were both on a little bit of a roller coaster ride.
I walked back out on the beach with a second wind and started a north/south grid line. About 30 minutes later I hit a target with a VDI (visual display indicator) of 18, exactly what a man’s Tungsten wedding band would show up as. No doubt in my mind that I had Logan’s ring. Took a scoop of sand, dumped in out on the beach, and moved the sand with my foot. There it was! I took a picture and sent to Logan saying, “Found it!! I’ll drop it off.” He responded instantly, “Oh my GOD. Thank you so much!! I don’t know if I just missed it on my first search or my southern boundary wasn’t far enough, regardless of how or why, the ring was found and returned.
Logan – So happy I got your treasure back where it belongs. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Last Thursday I received a call from Gust, asking if I would be willing to come out and search for his wife’s gold wedding ring they believed she lost in the yard while cutting back some shrubbery.
He had searched the internet, found Ring Finders, and I was the closest to them, even though I was a hour and a half drive away.
After discussing the circumstances about the loss, we agreed I would drive out the following Sunday (I had an unchangeable appointment Friday, Saturday was forecast heavy rain, and since it was likely on their property, it wasn’t going to be found by some random person).
I loaded up the Manticore, and my AT Gold as a backup, and made the hour and a half drive up the Columbia River Gorge into Washington to do the search. When I arrived, Gust and Liz were waiting in the front yard.
Liz walked me through what she had been doing when the ring went missing. She demonstrated how she had been pulling back the bushes, trimming them, then tossing the clippings into a pile. She then carried the clippings to the back of their property and threw them down the hill. I asked her how confident she was it was lost outside. She said she was very sure, since she never takes it off, and noticed it was gone when she went inside and washed her hands. I got my gear and started.
Gust and Liz were standing by watching, I briefly explained looking for on the detectors VDI, and what I was hearing in the headphones. I worked the area under and the around the shrubs and found there were metal spikes and staples holding in some of the landscaping, and a couple of T-posts deep inside the shrubs.
Not finding it there, I scanned the areas where she said she had been tossing the clippings. It wasn’t there, so I began a circular search pattern around the bush. When I found a signal and stopped to check it, Liz would comment on the VDI and move closer. I explained that the numbers can be deceiving, and I was really just listening to the sound the detector made.
I got about 3/4s of the way around the bush, and in the bark-chips I heard the unmistakable sound of gold in my headphones. Gust and Liz were still nearby, so I shut off the headphones and went over to them. I scanned over what was probably a staple and asked if they could hear how scratchy the sound was. I then went to where the ring was and scanned over it, asking if they could hear the difference. I said “That’s your ring” and before I could do anything else, Liz dove in and recovered her ring buried in the bark!
Very special to reunite this ring with a super nice couple of people. She’s worn it for 43 years, and now it’s back where it belongs.
