Got a call to help find a ring at a beach I have been to a couple times. Quite a drive from home but always worth the adventure. Ring was lost earlier in the day while lounging on the beach and playing with the dogs. Was able to find the approximate location of where the owner was at and after a short grid search the ring was found and returned. Thank you for the call, and happy I was able to help.
Got a call for a ring lost after diving off a family dock. Come to find it was in about 10+ ft of water. Had to use a mask and snorkel and some interesting metal detecting tactics to reach the bottom to do a search. Was successful in the end. Very happy to return this ring to its owner. Thank you for the call.

Bob was walking his dogs in the city dog park. It was a cold and windy day. Half way through the walk he realized his gold ring was missing. He looked for it, even went back with a flashlight in the dark hoping to see it glisten. He heard about me through an aquantice and we met out there the following day. We walked the area and he showed me path he used that it should be by. As we got back to my van to get my detector, a gentleman came through the gate and saw my ring mobile and asked us if we were looking for a ring. Well yes we answered and he held up a ring that he had just found a couple minutes ago within the area Bob had said it was lost. WOW, what are the chances of timing like this.
Chris called me around 2 on Sunday afternoon. He’d lost his wedding band around 6:30 the evening before, right where the waves were breaking. One detectorist had searched that night, and another had tried the next morning. By the time Chris called me, he was pretty skeptical there was anything left to find.
I was there within an hour. Chris had his doubts, but I felt good about our chances. Twenty minutes after I started searching, his wedding band was back on his finger.
Glad I could help, Chris!
When a ring goes missing outdoors, finding it can be much harder than most people realize. Grass, leaves, landscaping, mulch, and thick brush can quickly hide a ring from view.
For Andrew in Narberth, Pennsylvania, losing a ring meant much more than losing an expensive piece of jewelry. He had misplaced his father’s University of Pennsylvania class ring, a family heirloom that had been passed down to him.
Here’s how a systematic metal detecting search helped bring this important piece of family history home.
Andrew had been doing yard work around his home in Narberth, located in Montgomery County, PA, when he discovered that his father’s class ring was missing.
He searched but couldn’t locate it.
With leaves and brush throughout the yard, the ring could have been hidden almost anywhere in the immediate search area.
Rather than continuing to search without specialized equipment, Andrew contacted RingFindersSouthJersey.com.
We discussed what happened and arranged a time to meet at his property.
Finding a lost ring requires more than simply walking around with a metal detector.
A good recovery search starts with understanding the circumstances surrounding the loss.
Some important questions include:
These details help establish a logical search area.
For Andrew’s recovery, I started with a grid search pattern to systematically cover the suspected location.
This method helps reduce the chance of overlooking an area and allows the search to be conducted in an organized manner.
As the search continued, I carefully worked through the area, including beneath leaves and around brush.
Then came the signal!
The lost University of Pennsylvania class ring had been located.
What a fantastic result!
Andrew’s father’s class ring was recovered, ending the search with a very happy outcome.
A family heirloom that could have remained lost was safely returned.
If you’ve lost a ring outdoors, time and careful searching can make a difference.
A metal detecting recovery search may help locate:
Even if you’ve already searched the area yourself, don’t assume the item is gone forever.

Don’t give up on something that holds a lifetime of memories.
Andrew’s University of Pennsylvania family heirloom was found in Narberth, PA. Yours may be closer than you think!
Alex texted me saying his wife had dropped her cellphone in their family pond while kayaking and asked if I’d be able to come out and try and find it.
Well, not going to lie, after the recent cold snaps I was very hesitant to say yes. I told him as long as it wasn’t over my head I was willing to try.
Alex said the water was chilly and that it was about chest deep water and he had a Life360 last location spot where they think it went into the water.
I told him I would head there after work today and try to fish it out.
I arrive, we jump in a canoe and kayak and paddle across the pond to the spot. I parked the canoe on the edge so I could just walk out to the spot.
About 10 mins later I got a loud can hit and was able to use my feet to push it into my scoop.

Received a call yesterday from a woman whose husband lost his beautiful gold Claddagh wedding band in the woods while raking and dumping leaves at their home in Chester, NJ. It was a challenge — lots of dumped brush piles and leaves — but it was also a success. The ring is heavy and really something special and is now back on the finger of its owner!
