Chatham Beach, MA Sentimental Ring Found and Returned by Richard Browne
July 22, 2025 A family heirloom ring was resting peacefully on Zoe’s towel until it was time for her to pick up the towel and go. Then it happened, the ring slipped silently from the towel into the sand. As it happens 90% of the time a search on the area with one’s hands the results are not as one would wish for. In hope for help J&E Enterprise was contacted and Eleanor, the owner, recommended the one person who could help, me.
I received the relayed call for help as I was gearing up to search for a lost wedding band and told Zoe that I would come to search for her ring around 7PM. Well after a three hour search with two other detectorists with no success in finding the lost man’s band. I took Leighton and Jim, the other two detectorists, back to Yarmouth and I headed east to Chatham.
On the way to Chatham Zoe texted me precise location of her loss of her ring. I arrived at the beach, found the two “Private Beach” signs, and the water drain. Following Zoe’s instructions I moved four feet from the drain and started to swing my detector. On the third swing, in less than 5 seconds I had my first and only signal that I needed, it was the ring. I took the ring back to the car, called Zoe and was given the address and restaurant name where she was with others having dinner.
Well, downtown Chatham was jammed up like the bridges onto Cape Cod on the 4th of July. I saw the girl in the blue dress (Zoe) outside the restaurant, pulled into a one car wide driveway and with half my van still in the roadway and a car coming at me, I stopped. Zoe and I did a quick exchange of the ring and thank yous. I took a second to snap a picture before trying to back out into the roadway which was barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other. I made it and was on my way home as the sun set. Zoe was heading back to her dinner feeling much better and happier that she had her very sentimental ring back on her finger. Now the sun was just about beneath the horizon the start of a wonderful evening for all.
Avalon NJ Lost Ring Found by Ring Finders South Jersey

Avalon, New Jersey? Don’t Wait!
CALL JOHN

Earlier this week, I received a call from Michelle about a lost silver and gold ring in Avalon, NJ. Jane was enjoying a beautiful late afternoon with friends when a fun moment turned into a sudden panic.
While standing near the water’s edge, Jane was tossing clam shells into the ocean when she felt her precious silver and gold ring slip right off her finger. It was one of those slow-motion moments where you realize too late that something valuable is gone. Her heart sank as quickly as the ring did.
Thinking fast, Jane marked the area where the ring was lost by writing the word “HELP” in large letters in the sand. Smart move! This helped locate the spot with the metal detector a short time later.
Michelle and Jane were at beach, and she pointed out the area near the surf. We only had a short window of time before the incoming tide would wash away the sand and make the search more difficult, scanning the area with the metal detector.
After just a few passes, there was a strong signal. Digging carefully, scooped into the wet sand and there it was Jane’s silver and gold ring, safely recovered!
The look of relief and happiness on her face said it all. This ring wasn’t just jewelry—it held personal meaning and memories. Being able to return it was an absolute joy.
Another successful recovery at the Jersey Shore! If you ever find yourself in a similar situation—whether in Avalon or anywhere from Brigantine to Cape May—don’t panic. Reach out right away. Quick action makes all the difference, and we are happy to help!

His wife, Shea, had removed both her engagement ring and wedding band while applying sunscreen to their child. Thinking quickly, she placed the rings inside their child’s hat for safekeeping—but with the busyness of the beach day, they forgot all about them.
Moments later, their child Maeve walked around wearing the hat, unknowingly carrying the rings with her. At some point, the hat was taken off and the rings disappeared into the soft beach sand—just like that, they were gone.
Despite their best efforts searching, the family could not locate either ring. That’s when I received a call from Neil asking for help from Ring Finders South Jersey, the trusted lost ring finder in North Wildwood, NJ.

Dennis Port, MA Heirloom Ring Lost, Found and Saved the Vacation
September 10, 2024
Vacation time on Cape Cod has almost come to an end. Now it was time for a local to leave far a vacation thru Spain with a 15 mile a day hike itinerary. That is Chris’ plan but first she had to find a family heirloom ring. She had looked “everywhere” with no luck in finding the ring and new it was time to reach out for help. One town official gave her the name of the local dealer of metal detectors, J&E Enterprise. Due to the urgency of finding the ring before the air flight to Spain left, my number was given to Chris. One call for help, a few minutes to determine if I could help and I was on my way to start a search.
I arrived even before Chris showed up. After I had my gear ready Chris pointed out the area where the ring might have been lost, and we reviewed the previous day’s activities. While I started my search Chris, with a few suggestions from me, went inside to do a search of her own.
I started in the outdoor shower with a pin-pointer and a detector that could “see” through the floor boards. Nothing rang out, I moved to the path to and the bird feeding area. Again, nothing. That is when Chris came out to show me the ring I had been searching for. It had come off of her finger the previous night as she packed for the trip. At this point we both were thrilled, Chris because she had the ring back on her finger and myself because I would not have to tell her that the ring is not in the areas you have told me about. There is nothing worse that having to tell a person “I did not find the object”.
This type of search has happened more than once. It is related to the fact that one feels that the “missing” object is right “here” when in reality it is over “there”. The “here” is where the object was noticed that it was missing, not where it was really lost. That is why I ask a series of questions before a search begins, just to determine the entire area that may be involved with the loss. An average metal detector is useless inside a house due to the amount of metal, electronic appliances, house wiring, and plumbing also creates a problem. A pin-pointer or a detector with notch filtering may be helpful in certain areas such as an attic.
Another terrific outcome for the day. I am sure the trip will be very special and more enjoyable that Chris will not have been wondering about the ring, at least until she had unpacked.
Truro, MA Gold Wedding Band Lost, Found, and Returned
September 1, 2024
“Chris I Love You Susan” was engraved in a wedding band that took a slip from Chris’s finger as his daughter looked on. Chris visualized were the loss took place and that there were 51 steps to the stairs leading off the beach. During the next few hours Chris made many unsuccessful dives to retrieve the ring from its watery resting place. A visual search also took place. Susan then took charge, acquired my number and called for help.
The next morning at 7AM the search began and lasted about 2 hours before the tide had come in and prevented further searching. I would return for the afternoon tide. Which I did. I paced off the 51 steps, took visual reference points into account and began a search. First I gridded over the sand that was under water in the morning. Nothing to dig, I moved into the water. Low tide, with between 1 and 2 foot waves along with some seaweed made detecting a bit tough. The second signal I had was over the small drop-off at the bottom of the beach’s slope. With everything moving as it was I had to take a third scoop before I caught the object in the scoop. I love to see the glitter of gold among the shells and sand. Without emptying the scoop I left the surf and counted 68 steps to the stairs. On the walk I pulled the ring out, verified the inscription, and dumped the shells.
Next feat was to climb the 98 steps to the top of the dune and my car. I cleaned the scoop, put the ring back into it, changed the boots I was wearing to sandals for safer driving and drove off toward Chris’s vacation home. I turned the last corner and there Chris was, walking back to the beach to see if I was there. I told him the surf was now too rough and it would be worthless to climb down to the beach and back up. But I would appreciate him looking in my scoop. A bit perplexed, he did and could not believe that it was HIS ring from Susan.
At the house, a cappuccino, many friendly licks from his dog, and lots of wonderful stories were related. I just love how I get to know people by just going a bit out of my way to help them. It is also great knowing that there is at least one more reason for having wonderful memories of a vacation on Cape Cod.
Dennis, MA Wedding Set Lost, Found and Returned
August 31, 2024
On my way home from some hobby detecting; not looking for anything specific, just enjoying the afternoon sun and sea swells, and waiting for another call for help in locating a lost object. I was less than a mile from home when my wait was over. A neighbor, Barbara, was calling to request that I respond to a woman in distress over a missing marriage ring set of 36 years this month. Sure, I am on my way was my answer as I pass the road to my home. Next I called home to tell my wife I would be a bit longer, put dinner on hold, I had to go and find 2 rings.
Within twenty minutes I was ready to start the search. While being escorted to the area on the beach where the rings were lost I was told that another detectorist had found the engagement ring but had no success in locating the wedding band. Maura had removed her wedding band and engagement ring at the beach to apply sunscreen. She put the two rings in the cup holder of her chair, but forgot to put them on afterwards. A few hours later she folded up her chair and left the beach. Back at the house she realized she didn’t have her rings and knew instantly what happened. Returning to the beach and sifting through sand with hands. There were also many interested people all wanting to help. Unfortunately the only help to find the wedding band came from the call to my phone. One woman helping – Barbara told Maura about a world wide group TheRingFinders, that she had a connection, and then called Richard 1 of some 600 TheRingFinders.
It took me about a dozen swings of my coil before I located the wedding band. My advantage over the other detectorist was in the quality of the detector being used and some 40 years experience with detectors. I passed a few detecting tips on to the new detectorist, Thank Yous were passed among all the helpers and I left for the waiting dinner.
Yarmouth, MA. Gold Celtic Cross Lost, Found and Returned
August 29, 2024
Almost five weeks ago, Caeleigh was enjoying a day on the beach. She was wearing a very sentimental Celtic cross that her parents had bestowed upon her on the day of her first confirmation.
I am not positive on just how the chain with the cross became separated and lost in the fine sand.
Today I was out testing a new detecting scoop grip and found only pull tabs and a screw. About to give up for the day, I got out of the water and headed to my car. Gerry had been watching me and was inquisitive about my detector and could find a hearing aid. Yes it is possible, but unlikely unless the detector is “tuned” to react to the hearing aid’s metallic characteristics. When our conversation was about over and I was about to start searching for the hearing aid, Katie approached and asked the same question ecept her item of interest was a gold Celtic cross. The answer was the same.
The first area I covered was for the hearing aid. The detector I had been using in the water was just too sensitive over the 18 inch sweep to locate the hearing aid, but I tried. I moved over to the area of the cross and chain. I knew the cross could be located, but the fine chain would be very difficult. I was correct, the cross was retrieved from the sand with no problem
My second detector in the car did not have programming capabilities. One of my detectors at home would fit the needs perfectly. So I left the beach to get my best detector for the items I was searching for, a hearing aid and a gold chain in salty beach sand environment. I returned an hour later to complete the search. At the beach I was in luck with the adjustments I made to the third detector, it would react equally well to either object with the same settings.
As good as the detector that I chose for the situation and adjusting it for the objects to find, I did not find either one. There are possibilities that; either object may have been found, the beach cleaning rake buried them beyond my detector’s depth range, or I just missed detecting them. Also, the hearing aid may have been lost elsewhere.
I had talked to all involved and took pictures of Caeleigh and her cross before going home to get the third detector just in case what I feared happened, which it did. The active search for the chain and hearing aid have ended for now, but the information will be retained per chance I do find either one at a later date or hearing of another detectorist finding one of the still missing belongings.
Eastham, MA, RingFinder Finds and Returns Lost Wedding Ring to Military Member
August 29, 2024
Mike and I just did not connect on the game of phone tag last night. This morning we did. Mike was in desperate need of help for a solution of how to find his sister’s wedding ring that was lost in the sand. The loss happened when a towel was forcefully removed from a beach bag bringing the ring out with it and a few other items. All but the ring had been found.
Within an hour I was at the beach getting a run down on where I should be looking for the ring. I could see a gallant effort had taken place before I arrived at the beach. There was a 5X10 area of the sand that had been sifted to a depth of about 2 inches. That is where the ring should be. So, I started a search pattern parallel to the water’s edge and about 20 feet long as marked by two inverted red beach buckets. Ten passes and no ring, time to turn and cover the area perpendicular to the rows I had already made. It was on my third perpendicular pass between the second and third parallel pass that I had a great sounding tone that I was excited about. Yes, a shallow scoop and the signal producing object was in my scoop. It was the golden wedding band.
Time for pictures, hugs, and kind words. Another vacationing couple on Cape Cod would go home with everything they came with. Eliza and Sam, both active serving military members, are a fantastic couple that I enjoyed talking with and hearing of their military service and sharing some of mine with them. Mike stayed in the background but could not leave without my thanks for reaching out to a RingFinder for help doing what we do best, ending a stressful situation with a picture perfect for the Book of Smiles.
Oh, I will not forget what I and my wife left the beach with, a box of Cape Cod Treats of outstanding donuts. How they knew my favorite is the glaze covered cake donut and my wife’s, a chocolate covered donut with sprinkles I will never know. My first such gift. Thank you all.
