LOST 14k GOLD WEDDING RING IN A TIDE POOL on BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC…… FOUND!!!!

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

Received a late night text from a gentleman that lost his 14k gold wedding ring on “BALD HEAD ISLAND” on the east beach side where it meets south beach in the “tide pool” while playing with his family.

They were leaving at noon today to head back to Raleigh, so time was of the essence!

I drive down at midnight last night and hit Oak Island for about an hour and a half where a young lady had lost her wedding ring. I didn’t find her’s so I loaded up and made it to Southport ferry for the 6:00 ride over to Bald Head Island. I arrive at 6:30, was picked up by 6:45.

We headed to the opposite side of the island and walked out to the spot. The tide pool has a drop off that goes down to about 7-8 feet and if it was in there I would’ve had to come back to find it with my NEMO/NOMAD MINI.

About an hour later and ONLY getting two signals, I come up with his 14k gold wedding ring!

Happy husband and I’m sure a happy wife too! Now they can go home from vacation with a story and a priceless treasure back where it belongs!

Hanna was enjoying a peaceful beach day in Avalon, NJ. The weather was beautiful, the breeze was perfect, and everything felt just right.

But while relaxing in the sand, she waved her hand and her cherished ring flew off and vanished into the sand.

It was a sentimental David Yurman ring, a special gift with deep meaning. She searched carefully but had no luck. The ring had seemingly disappeared.

The next morning, Hanna contacted me through Ring Finders South Jersey, hoping I could help recover her lost ring in Avalon.

As a professional in beach metal detecting, I knew speed was key. I was on-site in less than 20 minutes, ready with my equipment and experience.

The beach can shift quickly overnight, and the sand easily hides small items. But with years of ring recoveries under my belt, I was confident.

Hanna pointed out the area where she believed the ring had fallen. I started my grid search with my beach metal detector.

Within just 10 minutes, I heard the kind of tone every detectorist hopes for—a strong, clean signal.

I dug down a few inches into the sand… and there it was.

Hanna’s beautiful David Yurman ring was back!

She was thrilled and couldn’t stop smiling. Seeing her joy made my day every ring has a story, and it’s an honor to help return them.

If you ever lose a ring, earring, necklace, or keys on the beach, don’t wait. The sooner you act, the better your chances of recovery.

Found Large gold ring George Lake, Angola Indiana

  • from Bristol (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

I was on my way to go dive detecting just for fun had all my gear and was ready to hitthe lake when on the way i get a call the lady wondered if i could find a ring for them that they lost in about 7 feet of water. I asked what the address was because i had never been there and had no clue where it was so she text me. It was the opposite directions of where i was heading so i turned around and told them im on my way. I got there and they showed me at the end of there dock about where it was the water clear and you could see a bed of weeds. They said they think its sand under the weed they didnt know for sure. So i put my gear on and went out there and descovered the bed of weeds where about 18 inches think and it was pure muck under them. My fairly easy find just got very very difficult. I searched for a while and was covered with muck and weeds and had to surface a couple of times to get close to the location where she lost it. I prayed God just help me find this one it really meant a lot to them. A little bit later i got through the weeds and in the muck and heard the signal i needed and sure enough there was a massive gold ring with dimonds. I surfaced and they where anxiously waiting and i showed them. They where all cheering and celebrating. I had to go back down so i could walk back up to shore and was tangled up in weeds and the rope that was anchoring the floating mat. I took my time getting untangled because I was NOT letting go of the ring lol. I made it to shore and they could not stop thanking me. I love when all the pratice and hard work comes togwther with the help of God to be a blessing to others. Plus I get to meet very awesome people like this family.

Lost ring on the beach, Seaside Heights NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
  1. Erica was enjoying a beautiful summer day at the Jersey Shore when a nearly tragic moment occurred. She had taken off her rings to apply sunblock and placed them on her beach chair. Hours later, when she went to sit down again, she suddenly remembered—but the rings were gone.After a long search with no success, Erica and her fiancé packed up for the day and headed to the boardwalk for dinner. While there, she posted on a local Facebook community group, sharing the exact location of where they had been sitting on the beach. Fortunately, someone in the comments saw the post and suggested she call Edward Trapper – the NJ Ring Finder.Erica contacted me right away. I asked her to take the post down (it had only been up for about 20 minutes) to avoid attracting any opportunistic treasure hunters, and I agreed to meet her at the boardwalk within 30 minutes.

    By the time we reached the beach, it was dark and officially closed, but we carefully worked our way around the barriers. Erica guided me to the exact spot using earlier photos, and I could still see the dig marks from where they had searched earlier.

    Within 10 minutes, I had her ring safely recovered in my scoop. The relief and excitement on their faces said it all—they truly didn’t expect to see those rings again.

Wildwood Crest, NJ Lost Platinum & Diamond Ring FOUND! by Ring Finders Cape May Jeffrey Laag

Lost a ring? Dont wait, Call NOW!

Received a call from Laura. She explained that she had taken off her rings while on Diamond Beach in Wildwood Crest in front of The Grande and handed them to her husband while she applied sunscreen. Later he handed them back to her and she placed them on her lap, this all happened on Saturday. Several days later Laura was looking for her rings, which she assumed she had placed somewhere in her home. After checking the usual spots, panic began to set in after she realized that she never picked them back up after her husband handed them back to her while on the beach in Wildwood Crest. Laura contacted me the following Thursday evening. We spoke and she outlined a specific area on a map pic that I had sent to her. I went down that same Thursday evening only to be met with 30-40mph winds and an onshore blown in tide. The beach was a mess as a result of these weather conditions. I still managed to check a fairly large area but with no success. I advised Laura of the conditions and lack of results and told her that I would try another day once things calmed down however I was skeptical at best considering the location she directed me to. A few days later Laura contacted me again and said that a little girl and her grandmother were playing in the sand in front of The Icona Star Beach Bar and happened across one of Laura’s rings! They turned the ring into The Grand staff to be returned to Laura. Laura immediately advised me of what had transpired and the next morning at 5am I went down to check the area where the one ring was found. The area where the first ring was found was about 800yds from where Laura had originally identified to me. I thoroughly checked that area and found nothing but trash. Since I was already there I walked back down to the original area and was able to make a few passes closer to the normal high tide line and BAM got a signal worth checking. Out came the platinum diamond wedding band! Laura spoke with The Grande staff and I picked up the first ring and delivered both back to Laura the following week. She was absolutely elated! Another successful recovery! How the first ring ended up so far from the original spot may always be a mystery but at least they are both back where they belong!
See attached link from 6abc Action News who picked up this story and did an interview about the whole ordeal.

Laura’s testimonial:
“Jeff is so incredibly kind and selfless – and above all else, so committed to finding your priceless items. You can trust him to search and return your items. I lost my wedding band on Diamond Beach on a busy summer Saturday and had Jeff start his search 5 days after I lost it. Between lost time, big crowds, bad weather, and beach cleaning tractors…. Well, let’s just say not even Jeff had confidence in finding my wedding band. But that didn’t stop him from immediately responding to my text and going to the beach very late on a week night to start his search. He returned empty handed that night and went back again at dawn a few days later and found it! He spent so much time helping me and I am forever grateful. If you’ve lost a wedding ring or anything precious, you know it’s devastating and hard to know where to turn but I hope you turn to Jeff. He even went out of his way to hand deliver it to my front step and I live over an hour from him. He is a special soul! Jeff works for tips so please be sure to show your gratitude!”

Gold found for Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist ”Madison Mailey”

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your Ring/Jewellery/keys/cell phone? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call 24/7  ASAP- Chris 778-838-3463.

My morning started with a phone call from a young man asking my opinion on what I thought the chances were of finding a gold bracelet on a bike path in Stanley Park Vancouver. I have my list of questions and it wasn’t sizing up to be a search I would attempt due to the size of the bike path and the chances of the bracelet landing there where someone easily could spot it.

After hearing a bit more details, he did mention that his wife went up a narrow path which caught my attention and made me come out to take a look because this is where we would have a slim chance of possibly locating it. We needed the bracelet to go off of the main trail onto the side of the path where most people won’t be able to see it.

Asking a few more questions I found out I was looking for a Gold Cartier love bracelet that was for a Canadian Olympic gold medallist who lives here in Vancouver, her name is Madison Mailey she won gold medal in last Olympics in Tokyo for rowing. Her husband I met came 10th in the world at the same Olympics also for rolling. His name is  Maxwell Lattimer. Amazing!!

When I met Matt, he told me the story behind the Gold Cartier bracelet and how it was engraved with ”Olympic Champion”  and that she had purchased that from her podium money they received when they won the gold. A commemorative bracelet, a reminder of the hard work and dedication, something to look at and remember that moment in her life that she won gold for herself her team and her Country.

OK back to the search in my mind the only chance we had is if this brace landed on the side of the path where the path was the narrowest, I told Max that we would walk it first to see if we can eyeball it and then I’d detect on the way back, I wanted to know approximately where she realized it was missing and where she came off her bike looking for it.

We got to the narrow part of the bike path and I just finished saying this is where we’re gonna find it. Max looked down and found the first piece, shortly after I found the second piece. It was a beautiful moment that I’m sure he’ll remember for a long time as will  his wife. I’m so honoured to be a part of this story and reconnecting them with Beautiful car love bracelet and the amazing story attached to it.

I Love My Job!!!

Lost a ring in Sea Isle City? Don’t Wait to call! 215-850-0188

Nicole was enjoying a beautiful day at the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ with her daughter and family—sunshine, sand, and summer fun. But that perfect day quickly turned into panic when she got home and realized both her wedding band and engagement ring were gone. 💍

Her family searched high and low with no luck. That’s when Nicole contacted me—John Favano with Ring Finders South Jersey. We met back at the beach, and after getting a clear idea of where they’d been throughout the day, I started a detailed grid search.

✅ First, I checked the spot where they had been sitting—no luck.
✅ Then I moved closer to the shoreline—still nothing.
✅ Finally, after expanding the search, I got a signal. Out came the wedding band! Just a few sweeps later, the engagement ring appeared too!

Nicole was thrilled to be reunited with both rings. It was a successful recovery and another rewarding day helping return lost treasures on the beach in Sea Isle City!

Wedding/Engagement Ring Lost in the Surf, Found and Returned Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On 7/31/25 and just before 2 pm, I received a text saying, “Hi Jim. My name is Jennifer B and I lost my wedding/engagement ring about an hour ago in front of the Sand Castle Ocean Front Resort South Beach. I was about thigh deep in the ocean and got wiped out by a wave and lost the ring. Sending a picture. Thank you!” I checked the tide tables and figure she lost it about 45 minutes before high tide. By now the tide would have turned. By the time I’d get there it’d be a couple hours past high tide and easily researchable. I called the number attached to the text and spoke with Jennifer. I got a few more details and told her I’d be there in about 30-35 minutes. She agreed and I was on my way.

When I arrived, I easily found a place to park and walked on the beach. I called Jennifer telling her I was on the beach, and she directed me to where she was. When we met, she explained what had happened and looking at the conditions I completely understood how she lost it. Mother Nature wasn’t in a good mood; the sea breeze had picked up enough to blow the waves straight into the beach. There was also a tough at the bottom of the slope which meant the waves were crashing right where I thought her ring would be. I started a grid search both parallel and perpendicular to the shoreline and wasn’t having any luck. Twice, I tried to venture into the tough and both times waves knocked me flat. There were people including Jennifer, trying to help me get up and grab my detector and scoop. I wasn’t having any fun at this point. There were still a few hours before low tide, so I decided to call it for now and come back later. I apologized to Jennifer for not finding it but didn’t say I was coming back at that point. I needed to check the home front and grab some dinner for the wife and me. Just before low tide, I text Jennifer saying I was going back to try again and hit the road. I arrived back right at low tide and the conditions were much better. I started a grid search at the north end of the search area and about mid tide. I was able to make my way out to waist deep. My 3rd line, I hit a solid 11 on the VDI (visual display indicator), exactly what I expected for a lady’s Platinum ring. One scoop and I had it out of the hole, gently shook the sand out and saw her ring. I took a quick picture, sent it to Jennifer and said “Bingo.” I also asked where she was, and I’d bring it to her. I called her and found out her and the 4 ladies she was vacationing with were at a local restaurant, so I was on my way. I met Jennifer and her emotional response was priceless.

Jennifer – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure and get it back where it belongs.

Jim

Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered Wisconsin

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Johnathan and his wife were out fishing on their pontoon early this spring. It was a beautiful sunny day and she decided to put on some sunscreen lotion. Making her hands really slippery. While casting towards a dock, she felt her wedding ring slip off, heard it hit the front of the pontoon and sink away into 10 feet of water. John searched locally for help and found a snorkeler.  He dove down and could only see muck & sand. Rings & other valuables will quickly disappear into the muck and sand as their weight and water movement hides them almost immediately. After talking with local divers, he found one person who heard of a site called “theringfinders.com”. Saying they can help in these situations. John searched the site and contacted me. This was still early in the year and water temps are brutally cold. We discussed the situation and decided to wait a month or so for the search. John’s wife was worried that the ring would move from storms and or power boats going by. I assured her, the ring will stay exactly where you lost it, I have found rings that were lost 75 years ago in lakes, and they are always right where they were lost. The lake is 3 hours away from me, so we had to make sure we planned a nice warm sunny day for the search. We met at the boat launch, headed to the “spot” and John anchored us right on top of the lost ring, it only took me 10 minutes to recover. This is a beautiful white gold diamond engagement / wedding ring soldered together. Made from John’s late Mother’s ring, so this ring is a really important heirloom for both John and his wife.

It was great to meet you John and thanks for making my job easy – Anchoring right on top of that lost ring was perfect!!!

Take Care  – Darrin
