Lost Ring Recovered in the Ocean in Wildwood, NJ After Football Toss Ends in Panic
A fun day in the ocean at Wildwood, NJ quickly turned stressful when a local beachgoer lost his ring while throwing a football in the surf.
The conditions were perfect for enjoying the beach. Friends and family were spending time in the water, tossing a football back and forth in the waves. During one throw, he felt something unusual on his hand. Moments later, he realized his ring had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the ocean.
Anyone who has ever lost jewelry in the surf knows how quickly panic can set in. Waves constantly shift the sand, visibility is poor, and the search area grows larger with every passing minute.
After spending considerable time searching on his own without success, he decided to call me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey.
When I received the call, I asked several important questions to help narrow down the search area. Determining the direction of the waves, water depth, and the exact activity taking place at the time of the loss can dramatically improve recovery success rates.
Once I arrived in Wildwood, I entered the water and began a systematic metal detecting search. Ocean recoveries require patience, experience, and specialized equipment designed to locate precious metals beneath wet sand and moving water.
After approximately 20 minutes of searching, I received a strong signal beneath the sand. Using my recovery scoop, I carefully dug the target and immediately spotted the missing ring.
The look of relief and excitement on the owner’s face made the entire search worthwhile. What seemed lost forever beneath the Atlantic Ocean was safely back where it belonged.
If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, bracelet, watch, or other valuable item on the beach, in the water, or in the sand, immediate action can significantly improve recovery chances.

Kerry called during the day and left a message wondering if I would be able to help find his lost wedding ring on the beach in Wildwood NJ. I called him right back to go over some of the details about how he lost his ring. Kerry explained he was on the beach with his family, playing with the dogs, and when he looked at his hand he noticed his wedding ring missing. He was very detail oriented, recalling every move leading up to the beach episode. After going over every detail of the day, he distinctly remembered having it on at dinner, and was almost positive it came off while playing with the dogs on the beach. Well, then he mentioned that he had searched the entire area with a metal detector and had no luck. They had also walked back and fourth the entire distance many times. If you know this beach it’s quite a vast area, kinda like walking to another zip code or two. I hope that brought things into perspective a bit. It was getting dark so they threw in the towel for the day, and returned the next morning with rakes to rake the entire area with hopes the ring would pop up. With no luck, it was time for them to pack up and head back home. I asked him to mark the exact location on his cell phone, with the GPS feature on Google Maps, and send it to me with a picture of his ring, and I would head right there after work. I parked right by the boardwalk, grabbed my gear and headed out to the beach. I opened the location he sent and somehow it was right where I was standing on the beach just beyond the boardwalk. I figured I would follow the dog tracks, but with the wind blowing about 30 knots they were getting covered by the drifting sand. Kerry had mentioned that he was straight out, and roughly 50′ from the high tide line, which was a good thing. Once I got close to the water I was able to see the area they had been raking earlier that morning, without that mark I highly doubt I would have been able to find the spot. Another huge thing in their favor was that the area was flat wet sand from from the prior high tide, and even though it had been raked quite a bit, didn’t blow flat, with the screaming south east wind. I turned on my machine, made one path around the perimeter, and on my return path Bingo!!! My machine gave off the sweet sound of success. A nice solid low tone, which I knew immediately was Kerry’s ring. Once back at my truck, I called his relatives phone hoping they were in town, but they were not. Then I called Kerry with the good news, and arranged to meet him at a later date to return his ring. another great recovery in the books.
