Metal detectors for sale

Dan had placed his wedding ring in the cup holder of a beach chair while relaxing by the shore. At some point, the chair was unknowingly picked up, causing the ring to fall out and disappear into the soft Jersey Shore sand. Panic set in as Dan realized his wedding ring, a deeply sentimental piece, was missing. Wanting to recover it himself he purchased a metal detector and spent two days searching the beach, but despite his efforts, the ring remained lost.

Meanwhile, Julie, eager to help, took matters into her own hands by posting on a local Facebook page, asking for the local expert with a metal detector to come assist. The post quickly gained traction, and I was tagged multiple times as the NJ Ring Finder by people familiar with my previous successes. After two days of unsuccessful searching, Julie decided to reach out to me directly, hoping I could provide the expertise they needed.

I met Dan and Julie at the beach, where they walked me through the events leading to the ring’s disappearance. They pointed out the location where the chair had been picked up, explaining the area they believed the ring had fallen. After understanding the area, I got to work.

With my metal detector in hand, I methodically swept through the sand, focusing on the spot they had indicated. In less than 10 minutes, the detector gave off a steady signal, and I scooped up the sand to reveal Dan’s wedding ring glistening inside. Their relief and gratitude were instant and heartfelt. What had seemed like an impossible task was resolved quickly, and another precious memory was saved.

 

How to find a Lost Ring in the Ocean, Ship Bottom NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Tom’s story is a perfect example of how a nearly devastating loss can turn into a moment of relief and joy. After enjoying time in the ocean with his daughter, losing his wedding ring to the surf seemed like a final blow—especially with the relentless waves making it disappear instantly. Tom’s quick thinking to post on Facebook led him to me, NJ Ring Finder. Tom called later that day and we spoke in depth to ensure I had the most precise details for a successful recovery.

Originally, I had planned to head out the same night, but with low tide not until late, we decided on a search for the following morning, almost 48 hours after the ring was lost. I arrived early, set up my search grid, and began working in the rough surf. The process was slow, and it was tough to get signals, but I kept at it. Tom sat nearby, watching quietly, probably doubting that the ring would ever be found after so long.

During the search, a young metal detector enthusiast approached with his mom, curious about my work. I shared that I was searching for Tom’s wedding ring and encouraged them to stick with the hobby. As I took a moment to review Tom’s photos again to make sure we were in the right area, I felt hopeful that we hadn’t missed anything. After making some adjustments, I returned to the water and, at last, got the signal I was waiting for.

In situations like these, it’s critical to dig carefully, as losing the ring deeper into the sand could make it impossible to find again. On my first scoop, I checked the hole—no signal remained. I could only hope the ring was in my scoop. When I saw that flash of yellow gold, I knew I’d found it. Tom’s wedding ring had survived nearly 48 hours in the ocean, and seeing the relief on his face when I handed it back was truly rewarding.

It was a perfect day for the beach, so Nicole and her friends decided to spend the afternoon soaking up the sun. At one point, Nicole took off her rings to apply sunblock, and her friend tucked them into her pocket for safekeeping. Somehow, in the hustle of the day, the rings slipped out and disappeared into the soft white sand of the Jersey Shore. When they realized the rings were missing, panic quickly set in. Like many in this situation, they started searching frantically through the sand but had no luck. That’s when they realized it was time to call in a professional with a metal detector.

After speaking with Nicole, we agreed I should come down immediately to start the search. Her friend met me at the dune walkover and explained what had happened as we made our way back to their spot. Once we arrived, I moved all their belongings aside and began the search. Just a few seconds into it, I heard the telltale sound, and soon enough, the rings were safely in my scoop.

Metal Detector LBI, lost ring on beach, Loveladies NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jessica reached out to me about a special ring her husband, Brian, had lost earlier in the day while they were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. The ring had slipped off his thumb and disappeared into the sand. After searching for a while without success, Jessica decided to ask for my help. I requested that she call instead of texting, as it’s easier to communicate that way.

When Brian called, I immediately recognized his voice from a meeting about a year earlier when he needed help locating another item. I advised them to secure the area so that no one else would set up their chairs, ensuring I had a clear space to search.

Upon my arrival, Brian pointed out the spot where he thought the ring had fallen. I quickly got to work, and before long, the ring was in my sand scoop. It was back on Brian’s hand where it belonged, much to his excitement. The ring had a unique, one-of-a-kind design and was likely irreplaceable, making the recovery even more meaningful.

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.

Alex was enjoying a beautiful day on the beach with his family along the Jersey Shore in Long Beach Island (LBI) when disaster struck—his wedding ring vanished into the soft sand.

Engagement ring lost on the beach, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

While I was at work, I received a phone call from Ashley. She explained that she, her husband David, and their kids had been enjoying a beautiful afternoon at the beach when she took off her ring to apply sunblock. It wasn’t until hours later that she realized it was missing, remembering she had left it in the cup holder of the chair. After unsuccessfully searching, they packed up and headed home. A quick Google search led them to find my name, and Ashley promptly gave me a call.

We agreed to meet on the beach, and she briefly described the ring. When I arrived, David met me at the dune walkover. Based on his recollection of where they had been sitting and the pictures he had taken earlier in the day, we determined the search area. It was getting dark, and David had to return to the local amusement park to be with his kids.

I searched the area, widening my grid with each pass but had no luck at first. Along the way, I found some coins and a ring that didn’t seem to match Ashley’s description—I thought she had mentioned an emerald and diamond ring, but the one I found had emerald-cut diamonds. I set it aside and kept searching for another 30 minutes, still turning up nothing.

Back at my truck, I reviewed the information, puzzled as to why I couldn’t find the ring. Looking again at the one I had recovered, I realized it was a gold ring with emerald-cut diamonds. Curious, I called Ashley to ask for a more detailed description. This time, she described the ring as being yellow gold with emerald-cut diamonds all around. My jaw dropped—I had already recovered her ring without realizing it!

I sent her a picture, and she was in shock. It was her ring! Since she was staying just a few blocks away, I drove over to meet her husband David, who was extremely grateful for the recovery. We talked a bit, took some pics, and headed our separate ways.

Ring lost in the ocean, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

It was early afternoon on a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore when Megan texted me. She had just lost a very precious ring in the ocean and asked if I could help. I explained that it depended on how sure she was of the location and if she could guide me back to the exact spot. Megan said she had seen the ring fall from her finger and drop near her feet in waist-deep water. I instructed her to mark the location as best as possible, using Google Maps to drop a pin, taking photos of the shoreline and the area where the ring was lost, and noting the time of day it happened. She said she’d think it over and get back to me.

A few minutes later, Megan called back, ready to move forward. We arranged to meet at the next low tide, around 9 p.m., as the ocean was forecasted to get rough in the coming days, which would make the search nearly impossible. I met Megan’s mom, Erin, on the beach that night, and we marked the area where the ring had been lost. I started by working along the bottom of the tide line, hoping the ring had washed up, but after several passes, I had no luck. I checked the photos to ensure I was in the right spot—it all matched up.

The waves were rough, with a strong rip tide making it difficult to work below the shell drop. After a while, I took a break to regroup. While I spoke with my wife and Erin, I explained that the conditions were challenging and I wasn’t sure if I could continue searching.

After about half an hour, I returned to the water to observe the wave pattern. As the tide receded, the waves seemed to calm a bit, so I decided to give it another try. Determined to succeed, I got back into the water and focused on the area below the shell drop. Finally, I heard a solid signal—and there it was, Megan’s ring in my scoop.

I let out a yell of success, and Erin was in total shock. She immediately called Megan, shouting, “He found it! I can’t believe it! Get down here!” The excitement was contagious, and everything came together quickly. By then, it was close to 11 p.m., and I was exhausted from battling the surf. We took some photos, hugged, and said our goodbyes.

This recovery was a reminder of why it’s important to choose the right person for the job—someone who isn’t afraid of rough conditions and will do whatever it takes to succeed.

Apple Watch lost on the beach, Loveladies NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

I received a call from Jennifer about her son Will’s lost Apple Watch on the beach. They had been enjoying the day at a relatively private beach when Will took off his watch and placed it in the cup holder of a beach chair. Jennifer explained they had been sitting near the middle of the beach, away from the tide, so there was a good chance the watch was still there.

She initially wanted to think about it, but called me back two days later to meet at the beach. Will walked me out to the spot and, being a very detail-oriented young man, he described every step and action he had taken before the watch disappeared.

I set up a grid search in the area he pointed out, and within 15 minutes, I found the Apple Watch safely in my sand scoop. Will was amazed and gave me a high five, while Jennifer was absolutely thrilled that the watch was recovered after two days on the beach.
