*** Cindy’s husband walked up to me while I was detecting the surf line wet sand at Huntington Beach, Dog Beach. Cindy had just dropped her gold diamond wedding ring in the sand.

I walked over to the area thinking this was going to be easy.

I struggled to get a signal with my metal detector on the highest sensitivity setting. ( usually not necessary for wedding rings )

After 10 minutes I received a very weak target tone in my earphones. A quick dig with my sand scoop revealed her wedding ring. You can see in the photo, it was a custom designed ring. It was white gold with 2 diamonds and was open, which interfered with the signal received by my metal detector. Sometimes I remember to as if the ring is a normal ring design. The end result was that the ring was recovered and Cindy and her husband were able to enjoy the rest of their day at the beach.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Homeland Baltimore, Maryland!

  • from Baltimore (Maryland, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message 2 days ago from Nick who lost his wedding band while gardening a few days prior. Not only was Nick confident that he lost it in his yard, he informed me that there were certain areas of the yard that he was concentrated in. We made plans to meet the very next day.

When I arrived, Nick greeted me and immediately showed me around his yard and where he felt were the highest probability areas. He then excused himself and went back inside his residence and I got to work, starting with the first high probability area. The good news is not only was I able to locate the ring, I set a new personal record of less than 2 minutes doing so! Keep in mind that this record was set not only due to my detecting skill, but to Nick’s guidance and recollection of where he was when he first realized the ring was no longer on his finger. The ring was only about 1/2″ below the surface of the recently disrupted soil, but that was deep enough to hide it completely from sight. As a side note, this is a perfect example as to why I do NOT charge an hourly rate for my service! With that said, I’ve recovered rings in the past that have taken may hours to locate, with the extreme being 3 location returns over a week period with a total of about 10 hours of searching! As you can see, working on a reward type basis makes sense for both parties involved. I digress! The good news is the ring that Nick’s grandfather gave him is now safely back where it belongs!!

Sydney called me to ask for help locating her lost wedding ring in her yard. Apparently she had taken her little one outside and let him walk in the grass and as he toddled around Sydney would allow him to hold on to her hands to steady himself and a half hour later she realized that her wedding ring was no longer on her finger. She frantically searched her yard hoping to find it and later thought about using a metal detector and that led her to theringfinders.com and one of these stories. I was able to meet Sydney later on that day and she walked around the house showing me areas where her little on had walked. At one point we stopped to talk and as we were talking I glanced down and spotted Sydney’s lost ring just laying in the grass. I told Sydney, “Hey look…there is your ring!” The sun was reflecting just perfectly off of her lost ring and I was able to just bend down and pick it up and both her and her mom teared up and we just stood there stunned and super thankful! It is always a HUGE BLESSING to find a lost ring and to able to place it in it’s rightful owners hand!

Tantalum Wedding Band Lost During Camp Out in Centreville, Alabama… FOUND!

Contact:

On Thursday (March 19, 2026) I received a text from Dom stating he had lost his tantalum wedding band during a birthday camp out at a friend’s house in Centreville, Alabama that prior Saturday.  Dom, his wife, Rebecca, and friends had spent hours looking for it both visually and with metal detectors.  Centreville is near Tuscaloosa, which is about 2.5 hours from me.  To potentially save a 5-hour drive, I gave Dom some tips to look on Friday.  Dom contacted me back Friday evening and said they still couldn’t find it and asked for my assistance.  I was free Saturday and more than happy to help, so I agreed to drive down from Huntsville and meet them at 11am.

I met up with Dom and Rebecca Saturday morning.  Dom began walking me through all the areas he was at – unpacking the car, walking path, fire pit, and camping areas.  I started where he unpacked/packed the car and worked my way out, stopping anywhere Dom remembered.  We made it out to the round metal fire pit and Dom said he was tending the fire.  I asked if they had moved the pit to search and he said no.  I said let’s move it in case the ring rolled underneath.  We moved it and it wasn’t directly under, but as soon as I stepped back, I caught a glimpse of a circle laying in some ash on the ground.  I glanced up at Dom and said, “I think we got it, brother!”  He said, “no way!”  Dom came over and had trouble spotting it at first, because rings will easily hide in the grass/vegetation and play tricks with our eyes.  But once he saw it, Dom was so happy and relieved.  He called over to Rebecca and the homeowner, Hailey (thanks for letting us search!) to let them know the good news.  Smiles and high fives all around!  We all enjoyed some friendly conversation, and I told them about some of my prior searches.

This was my first time finding a tantalum ring.  For my Ring Finder friends, it was a 63 on the Equinox 900.  As always, thank you, God, for another successful recovery and safe trip!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless!

Diamond Ring Found Underwater by Rob Ellis and Ray Jones, Lake Anna, Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

Rob and Christina Smiles!

Christina asked my help to find her lost engagement ring. While staying at a rental house on Lake Anna, she was with her sister in waist deep water and thought she felt the ring slip off her finger. Everyone at the house searched for the ring before she called me.

Christina’s beautiful diamond ring

She obtained the property manager’s permission to search, so I loaded up my SCUBA gear and made the hour and 45-minute drive to the site. Christina walked into the waist-deep, cool water, demonstrating how she thought her ring came off her finger. I carefully searched the area using jack stays and my circular search device. After a thorough hunt, I asked Christine if her ring could have slipped off somewhere else. She showed me where she had jumped off the dock and swam over to the beach.  After 4 and 1/2 hours, I was cold, exhausted, and disappointed. But I was not ready to give up!

I explained to Christina that I would return. I obtained permission from the rental manager and was back in the water in 4 days. I invited my friend Ray Jones to join me. Ray and I often team up, especially for water searches. Ray had decided to search in the shallow water using my Equinox 800.

I had just set up my search pattern near the dock when I heard Ray exclaim, he found Christina’s ring. He had started his search straight from the beach to where Christina thought she lost the ring. As he was walking in about 12 inches of water, he started using the detector. Surprisingly he heard a signal in the correct target tone on the third swing of the coil!

Ray and I met a couple of the neighbors, and one gave up permission to search in the private community dock area. We found some change, fishing rods, and a $10 bill! It was another great day with my friend Ray!

Christina and I met so I could return her beautiful engagement ring. Metal detecting underwater is a big investment in time and resources. After our combined thirteen hours of driving, SCUBA gear maintenance, use of high-quality metal detectors, and five hours search time, it doesn’t seem worth it. But, when I gave Christina her ring, the look on her face was priceless!!

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state-of-the-art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

Lost Cross Recovered in Surf City LBI NJ Ring Find Edward Trapper finds jewelry in sand

Lost Cross recovered in Surf City New Jersey LBI

Lost Cross Recovered in Surf City LBI – NJ Ring Finder Edward Trapper Finds Jewelry in Sand

Erin reached out to me hoping I could help locate a deeply sentimental family heirloom: a cross necklace her son Wyatt had lost in the sand four days earlier during a school field day in Surf City, Long Beach Island. The cross was more than just a piece of jewelry—it had been passed down from Erin’s mother to her brother 25 years ago, kept safely in a box for decades, and recently gifted to Wyatt for his 15th birthday.

We discussed the details of the loss, and I assured her that since it wasn’t a heavily trafficked part of the beach, there was still a good chance of recovery—even after several days. Although it was Mother’s Day weekend and I had prior plans, we arranged for me to begin the search at 5:30 a.m. on Mother’s Day morning.

To help pinpoint the location, I asked Erin and Wyatt to drop a pin on Google Maps. That way, I could get started without needing them to meet me at the beach so early.

I thoroughly covered the area—about a half block long—including the path where Wyatt entered and exited the beach. Despite several passes and even checking the dune walkway, I came up empty. I noticed that the beach rake had been through the area a few times, so I decided to expand my search a bit further to the south and east.

About 20 feet east of the original location, I heard a sweet signal—the kind you just know is something special. Sure enough, there it was: the lost cross.

Just then, I saw a message from Erin asking if she should head to the beach. I hadn’t told her yet that I found it. When she arrived, we talked about the search, and I told her, “This would make a pretty great Mother’s Day gift if I can find it.” Then I reached into my pocket and held out the cross.

She was in total shock.

She explained how meaningful this cross was to their family—it had connected three generations, and now it was safely back where it belonged.

This was one of those moments that remind me why I love doing what I do. What better way to start Mother’s Day than by returning a priceless heirloom to a grateful family?

If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, or any other item on the beach or in the water, don’t wait—call or text Edward Trapper, the NJ Ring Finder, at 609-713-3926. I cover all of Long Beach Island, Monmouth County, Ocean County, and beyond.

LOST 24k WEDDING RING IN MORRISVILLE, NC…..FOUND!!!

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

Received a call that a young man had lost his 24k wedding ring while playing volleyball. They thought he lost it in the sand. I jumped in the truck and made the almost 2 hour drive.

I get there, get the story and begin my search. I searched the entire volleyball sand pit area 3-4 times and wasn’t coming up with the ring. One of the ladies had a 24k gold and it rang up a 91. I couldn’t believe it rang up that high until I found his ring.

I expanded my search area. After about an hour to hour and a half I went near the grass edge to the higher grass area in the direction of the water and I get a 94 signal! I look down and I can see a gold ring! Apprenatly the ring had bounced off the ball and went to his right about 10-15 feet!!

Another recovery in the books! This one was my 100th ring recovery since joining “The Ring Finders!”

Heavy Gold Bracelet Lost on College Campus in Nashville TN Found With a Metal Detector

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)
Contact:

On March 22nd I received what I would consider a frantic phone call from a young college student named Zorawar regarding a lost gold bracelet. He explained that he was playing baseball in a grassy courtyard area on his college campus when he lost his solid gold bracelet. He had placed it in his shorts pocket so it wouldn’t fly off his wrist as he was throwing the baseball. At some point, the bracelet fell out of his pocket.

He did what many of my clients have done, went and bought a cheap metal detector and began searching on his own. While he was swinging the metal detector, he had several of his close friends walking all over the grassy area looking for his bracelet. As time passed without the bracelet being found, he did an internet search which lead him to me.

Zorawar sent me a pin with his location and I met with him about thirty minutes after his initial call. I knew time was against us since the college campus is flooded with students and non-students, and realistically there could be someone who would find it and keep it for themselves. I powered up my XP Deus 2 metal detector and began a systematic grid search of the area, even going beyond the boundaries that Zorawar suggested.

After about thirty minutes of searching with my metal detector, it was my eyes that located the gold bracelet.

Understandably, Zorawar was frantic after he lost the bracelet and his mind was going 100 miles per hour. There were very few patches of thick grass that could have concealed the bracelet. All that was needed was a slow, methodical and systematic grid search, and the end result is a very happy and thankful young man. The bracelet has religious significance and Zorawar has worn it every day for the last eight years. Now he gets to keep that routine going. It was truly a great day for both of us.
