Lost necklace in the sand, Beach Haven NJ LBI recovered by Edward Trapper NJ Ring Finder

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

Hannah called about her necklace that disappeared into the sand the day before, when they were enjoying a nice day at the beach. They were in Beach Haven on LBI, and I told her I would be there ASAP. When I arrived we talked a bit about the situation, then headed right up to the beach. She was pretty sure of the location due to the fact there were a few good landmarks close by. Prior to my arrival she had also boxed out the area, which is always a great help. I turned on the machine and they walked up to the bench on the dune crossover. I think they had just sat down when I held up her beautiful necklace and pendant. Gotta love when your clients have a really good location to start the search. thanks Hannah, it was a pleasure.

A Wedding Band Lost to the Waves

A Wedding Ring Lost at Ventura State Beaches
Early Sunday morning, a disheartened young man called me, crushed by the loss of his wife’s wedding ring in the sandy shores and waist-deep waters of Ventura State Beaches. They’d searched tirelessly, even with a metal detector, but the ring stayed hidden. Determined to help, I scheduled a lost ring recovery mission in Ventura County for Monday at 5 a.m., timing it with a low tide to maximize our chances at Ventura State Beaches—close to spots like Ventura Beach and Marina Park Beach.
I know Ventura County’s beaches well—the minimal slope at Ventura State Beaches meant the ring might still be near, not swept out like at Rincon Beach or Silverstrand Beach. With my new Equinox 900 metal detector, I gridded the area meticulously, sifting through sand and waves. After 45 minutes, a sharp 28-29 signal cut through the dawn silence. One deep scoop later, the wedding ring gleamed in my hand—a shining victory for lost ring recovery in Ventura County, from Oxnard Beach Park to Hollywood Beach Oxnard!

Centerville, MA 3 Lost Rings Found and Returned

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

August 1, 2023 was to be Brian’ third lucky charm day. He had lost his ring two years ago and I found and returned it. About two weeks ago he call to ask for help in finding his daughters ring. As I was leaving for the beach the phone rang again. This time to tell me not to bother, the group had found the ring in the sand. Today another call from Brian was to tell me his friend Patrick had just lost his ring in the surf.

Ten minutes later I was on my way as was Leighton. What a team member. He was on the way from the west and I from the east of the point of ring loss. On the way, while stopped at a stop sign I saw Leighton coming down the road. He passed and I followed him. We stopped, set up a plan. and were off to a private club. We were greeted at the front door of the club and were escorted to the beach boardwalk. On the beach we met up with Brian and Patrick, covered the usual questions and headed for the water. Detector and scoop at the ready I headed down the slope, heard a target, stopped to dig the target, some 30 feet from where Patrick was standing acting as a point of reference for the lost ring.

One scoop in the soft sand and I had a wedding band in my scoop. I walked out to were Patrick was standing. After giving the ring to him I saw a puzzled look on his face. He was a bit unsure thatt it was “the ring” lost. The lost ring had been his great-great-great-grandfather’s and at first Patrick did not see two identifying dents on the ring’s edge. The ring had been removed from the deceased by cutting and the repair left the two small marks. Thinking it might not be “the Ring” Leighton and I continued to search the area. While searching I thought about time and tide. The ring had been lost for almost two hours and the tide was going out. That was the reason for the difference in distance from where I found the ring and where Patrick was standing. Further inspection of the ring the indents were visible and there was no karat marking, an indication of the ring’s age and lastly, there was no inscription on the ring. Yes it was Patrick’s ring.

Another Lost ring had been found, returned and it’s story entered into the “Book of Smiles”.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost In A Maine Lake Found With A Metal Detector

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

On Sunday evening, August 6, 2023, I received a text from Andy. In Andy’s own words, “Hi Dennis. I’m Andy. I found your contact info on ring finders. I lost my gold wedding ring today in Bunganut Pond in Lyman. I was hoping you could do the impossible”.  I called Andy back immediately and asked him a few questions about depth of water and if this a private property or public beach. Andy told me it was a public beach and the ring was lost in waist deep water. My concern now was that I would have less than an hour’s worth of sunlight left, once I arrived at Bunganut Pond, in Lyman, Maine. It was a 30-35 minute drive to get there. Andy explained that he lived 2 hours away in Nashua, NH and needed to get back home and would prefer to not stay the night but would, if necessary. I really didn’t want Andy and his wife to have to stay an extra night. I told him we would be there as soon as possible. My wife and I loaded my Excalibur II, my long handled scoop and off we went. We arrived at the pond at 7:20pm and I was in the water at 7:25pm. Andy and I immediately headed to the spot he thought he lost his wedding band. After a few minutes, with only 1 target (a piece of aluminum), Andy asked his wife if the area we were in looked correct from her vantage point on the shore. She told us she thought it was about 15-20 feet to our right, as we faced the shore. Andy’s wife then entered the water and went to the area she thought it was in. As I was working my to the area, still no targets. When I got to the area she thought the ring was in, I received a very solid sounding target. I put the scoop in and pulled it up, shaking the sand out, into the water. I got a great view a a new shiny gold ring in the bottom of the scoop. It took all of 7 minutes , in the water to find it. I had Andy’s ring and his wife and he started screaming with joy. I love this job.
Andy and his wife were very very elated and couldn’t contain their excitement of getting Andy’s ring back. Andy told us that he and his wife were just married, in March, less than 6 months ago. Here is wishing them many many years of love and happiness.

Phone Lost in Russell, Found in Dense Scrub

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

Jimmy contacted me as his houseguest had lost his phone in some scrub near Russell.

He had been helping him clear invasive trees from a steep and very overgrown hillside, with his phone ‘safe’ in a leg pocket, secured by a hefty press-stud.

At some stage in his wanderings and stumblings through the dense undergrowth, the press stud on the pocket had been caught and come undone – The phone likely found its way out shortly after. “Murphys Law” came into play with zero reception, so his attempts to ring or otherwise locate the phone were futile.

The going was very tough with a large coil, negotiating the many trees lying where they had fallen, in places the branches meant I couldn’t get closer than a metre or more to the ground surface so I focussed on clearing the more accessible areas with the big coil and the machine running in full sensitivity for the merest whisps of a signal. Constant impacts from branches and vegetation, coupled with the mineralisation of the ground made the machine extremely “chatty”.  It took all my focus to decipher the barrage of sounds, whilst trying to stay upright negotiating the steep slippery ground, fallen branches and trunks.

I was already planning on how I would go about searching the area with the small 6″ coil on a special wireless rig I custom made for such scenarios, to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t looking forward to the many potential hours this recovery might take. However it was a tightly defined – albeit extremely difficult,and relatively large – area, so I knew it was just a matter of getting a coil close enough to pick up the missing phone.

I worked my way through the gorse and scrub, and in one area where several trees had been felled, I got a faint, but repetitive signal coming from under a trunk.

Placing the machine down, I slipped my arm in through the tangle of branches and stretched my fingers out under the fallen trunk.

It was with great satisfaction that I felt my hand close around a shape and glassy texture definitely not encountered in nature.  After facing a potentially very slow and intricate search across the hillside, I was possibly more relieved than the owner!

Received a call from Bill last evening. He explained that he placed his ring in the pocket of his beach chair. Later he folded the chair and left the beach. Once off the beach he remembered that he left the ring in the chair pocket. When he rushed back to check the pocket of the chair it was gone. We met up on Howard St beach this morning and after a brief 15 minute search of the area I was able to recover his ring! Another happy ending!

Cape May, NJ Lost platinum / diamond solitare ring FOUND! By Jeffrey Laag

  • from Cape May (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Lost a ring? DONT WAIT! Call now!

609-780-4525

Last evening I received a call from Marcy. Marcy explained that she believed that her heirloom plat / diamond ring fell out of her shorts pocket while she was on the beach earlier in the day with family. She wasnt sure if it was on the beach or elsewhere but was fairly certain it may be in the sand. She had a whole group of people sifting and digging thru the sand with rakes trying to find her ring. Luckily she came across my number thanks to Cape May Beach Patrol Lifeguards. At the time she called I was on the Wildwood boardwalk with family doing the whole rides / games thing, lol. Knowing the potential for the ring to be in a vulnerable spot and its sentimental value I decided to leave the boardwalk and take a ride over before it got dark. I met up with the couple and began a grid search after gathering some details. Approx 15 minutes later I was able to recover the ring and get it back into its rightful owners hands. Another happy client!

Ring Found At Oval Beach, Saugatuck, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

 Received a call from the staff at Oval Beach stating a lady lost her wedding ring in the sand and asked if I could come and help find the ring. I arrived around 8PM and a staff member showed me the general area where the ring was lost and he said the family had to leave and would be back shorty. I started to search the beach and Sush showed up shorty with her husband, Vaibhaw and son Vihaan. She showed me an area maybe 20ft x 20ft where she was playing in the sand with Vihaan when the ring slipped off her hand. I searched that area further from the water with no success and then moved closer to the water when I got a good hit. I knew right away this had to be her ring so I handed my pinpointer to her and told her to search this spot right here. She pointed it to the spot and the pinpointer started to sing and vibrate and Vaibhaw came over and sifted the sand with his fingers and there was the ring. Emotions flowed and I received hugs from both of them. They have been married for 5 years and spending their vacation in Michigan from their home in Ohio. It was a tossup, who was happier, me or them.

Lost Wedding Ring at Te Ngaere – Found.

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)
Contact:

Jojje posted a message to Facebook stating he had lost his silver wedding ring at Te Ngaere beach near Whangaroa.  He had, ironically, taken it off when he went paddleboarding so as not to lose it…

Placing it in a jacket pocket, he forgot about it as they packed up and headed back to the car, realising too late that it had fallen out.

I was tagged by one of the local Facebook community, and with low tide due at 2am, I headed straight out that evening.

It was a relatively quick recovery on a very cold but clear night under a full moon, the ring being located in the first search pattern – but outside the indicated area.  I messaged Jojje before it got too late in the evening to let him know that his precious lost ring was now secure.

A couple of days later, we met up and you could see the physical and emotional relief as he slipped it back on his finger where it belonged.
