Playing with his dog, he lost his very heavy platinum ring in the yard.
While searching for it he must of accidentally stepped on it because when I hit it
all I could see was the edge of the ring, totally flat in the ground.
Turned out to be a fairly easy search taking about a half an hour.
Lost Gold Bracelet Found in North Wildwood Garden!
Kate was gardening in North Wildwood, NJ when something unfortunate happened — she lost her beloved gold bracelet. She searched the area carefully but had no luck finding it. Feeling frustrated and disappointed, she remembered hearing about the Ring Finders South Jersey.
That’s when she contacted me — her local North Wildwood ring finder.
I answered her call right away and asked a few key questions about where she thought she lost it. Kate explained she had been moving plants and spreading mulch when she noticed the bracelet was gone.
Luckily, I was nearby and told her I’d be there in 10 minutes. I grabbed my metal detector and headed over.
When I arrived, we walked around the yard. Kate pointed out a grassy area and the garden where she had been working. I began searching the grass first. After a few passes, the detector stayed silent. No signals there.
Then I moved to the garden bed where Kate had spent some of her time that morning. Almost instantly, my metal detector gave off the sound I had been listening for!
I carefully dug into the soil, pushing aside the fresh mulch. About five inches down, I spotted a glimmer of gold — the bracelet was found!
Kate was so relieved. She said, “Thank you for finding the bracelet, it is very special to me!” Hearing that made my day.
She explained that it must have slipped off while she was moving soil and plants. The bracelet had great sentimental value, and she thought it was gone forever. But thanks to the Ring Finders South Jersey and a fast response, she had it back in no time.
It was an awesome day in North Wildwood, NJ — one that ended with a happy reunion between Kate and her lost jewelry.

Received a text from Glenn stating he lost his wedding ring in his backyard. He found a hole in his backyard and thought it was a gopher hole, big mistake. He stuck a stick in the hole and a yellow jacket stung him on the wrist. He swatted them away from his head and ran to the house to save himself. Moments later he noticed his ring missing and assumed it flew off his hand at that time. He had used a metal detector but was just getting a lot of signals and did not find the ring. I started to grid the area around the hole and the path he took to get back to the house. In a few minutes I found his ring about 10ft from that hole in the ground. He has been married for over 30 years and he gave his wife a call to give her the good news.I was contacted by Khamren Friday afternoon, 26 September 2025 regarding his graduation ring that was lost some two weeks prior. I agreed to meet him at the location of the lost ring the following day at 2:00 PM. Khamren explained he and his girlfriend were walking along the sidewalk and he was swinging his arm when his ring flew off his hand into a row of ground cover vines. He searched the area, but could not locate the ring. His girlfriend trimmed the area with some clippers and continued the search, but still to no avail. Khamren also rented a Garrett Ace 400 detector and after searching the area was only able to find a metal spoon and a chime from a small wind chime that had fallen to the ground.
I arrived at the location of the lost ring at the agreed time. Khamren met me at the site and pointed out the general location where he thought the ring might be. He told me he had to leave for work and if the ring was found, to let him know and to give the ring to his girlfriend who was inside.
I set up my search areas and methodically searched each area. I got a hit in my third search area. Based on the readings from my detector, I didn’t think it would be the ring, but because there was a strong signal near the surface, I decided to try. It took awhile to sort through the roots and thatch and using my soft probe rather than shovel (to avoid damage to the ring) I was able to locate the target. The target turned out to be a galvanized roofing tack. The search continued.
I moved to the next search area, and got another strong surface hit. This time with numbers more to my liking. Using my hands to work my way through the roots, I saw something shining through the roots. I was able to isolate the object and at 2:45 PM, the ring was recovered.
I took a pic of the ring and sent it Khamren who excitedly texted back with a big “Thank Y0u!” I then knocked on the door and presented his girlfriend with the ring who returned the gesture with a big smile and another “Thank You”.
It made my day!

Nothing puts a damper on a fun weekend like losing something valuable—especially something that can’t be replaced.
John had been camping with family and friends on a quiet farm in Franklinville, NJ. It was the kind of weekend you remember—good food, great people, and time away from the noise. But at some point during the night, while playing around, John’s gold wedding band flew from his finger and disappeared into the grass.
He searched the area with help from his friends, but no luck. Later that night, around 4 a.m., I got a text about the lost ring. We spoke early the next morning, and I agreed to meet him at the site.
Using my metal detector, I mapped out a grid to begin the search. At first, nothing. Just scrap metal and typical ground junk. After about 25 minutes of expanding the grid and scanning deeper into the surrounding area—finally, the signal I was hoping for.
I dug carefully, and out came a beautiful gold ring.
John was thrilled—and deeply emotional. This ring wasn’t just a wedding band. It had once belonged to his father, who had recently passed. Getting it back meant the world to him.
Helping someone recover a part of their history and heart—that’s why I love doing this.

Received a call from a client that dropped his wife’s ring in the back yard. He searched but could not find it. After buying a metal detector and trying to hunt for it he called and asked if I could come and find it. He said the metal detector beeps at everything and he didn’t know how to use it. I drove up and after searching for about five minutes I hit on the ring. Glad to help this gentleman out and get his wife’s ring back.
I noticed a post on one of the lost jewelry pages about a missing wedding ring, lost somewhere in the backyard within a pile of yard debris. Someone had tagged me on the post, and later, Cheryl gave me a call. She explained that her husband, John, had been doing yard work, moving logs, branches, and leaves when he realized later that day his wedding ring was missing.
John was 99% sure the ring was in the yard and had a pretty good idea of where it might be. He believed he had felt it pull off his hand when he threw some debris. I asked Cheryl to send me a short video to make sure Id be able to swing my metal detector in the dense thicket where the ring might have landed. From the video, everything looked manageable, so we arranged to meet the following morning.
When I arrived, John and Cheryl came outside to greet me. I grabbed my equipment, and we walked out to the backyard. I had John recount exactly what happened a few times to make sure I had all the details. His story on the phone matched what he told me in the backyard, which gave me confidence that the ring was out there.
I got to work right away. After quickly scanning some larger areas and checking along the back fence, I only picked up a few signals, none consistent with a platinum ring. But then, I spotted a large pile of leaves and small sticks about three feet from the back fence. It looked promising, especially since John had mentioned pulling debris with his bare hands in that spot.
I scanned over the pile and picked up a strong, steady signal. It could have been the ring, though there was a chance it was just a pull tab. I cleared an area where the signal was strongest, digging down about two feet. Sure enough, at the very bottom of the pile, I found John’s ring.
Meanwhile, John and Cheryl were chatting by the pool about yard work. I cleaned the ring off a bit, stood up, and held it high to show them. Cheryls eyes widened, and she immediately said, I can’t believe you found it already! Where was it?
They both hurried over, and I showed them the cleared area in the middle of the leaf pile. They were absolutely stunned at how quickly I had found the ring.
I explained that preparation and listening carefully to the customer are key to a successful search. Narrowing down the possible locations allows me to focus on the most likely spots first, which saves a lot of time and effort.
Finding lost items isn’t just about luck it’s about methodical searching and trusting the process.
