Anthony had been out the night before sitting on a grassy hillside with his girlfriend in a Los Angeles Park when she realized her ring was missing. He called and asked if I was available to come out and do a search for him. I was, and we agreed on a time to meet there at the park.

It is a rather large park with many roads weaving through it, so it took me a while to find the exact area for the meeting. Once there Anthony met me, and showed me the hillside they were on, and had narrowed down the area considerably which helped. I began my grid search making sure to cover every inch with a slow swing of the coil. All of a sudden there were gun shots ringing out. Not one, not a few, but it sounded like a war had commenced. I looked up, and realized that the hill was overlooking the LAPD Academy firing range. Whew! It took about 30 minutes of diligent searching, and it paid off in a recovery. Anthony was very happy that he would be able to get the ring back to his girl friend.

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible! I will work hard, searching beaches, parks, and yards, using the most up to date metal detectors, to help you find what you thought might never be found again.

Ring lost in a Poway pond found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Pam and her husband were enjoying a dip in their hot tub spa when Pam realized she was still wearing her prized custom silver ring. Not wanting to let it tarnish in the chlorinated water, she removed it and set it on a towel next to the spa. When her husband got out, he grabbed the towel and the ring went flying somewhere nearby. Possible landing areas were in some of the landscaping on the deck around the spa, or, more likely into the pond just a couple of feet away. The pond is an old swimming pool that had been converted into a fish pond. Lots of plants, fish, reeds, with a mossy/mucky bottom. The closest side is the shallow end, thank goodness, so, no diver needed. They had purchased a metal detector, but, even though they got a few signals, they couldn’t zero in on any particular target. When I got there, we discussed the situation, and I started with a standard 11″ coil and swung down into the most likely area. A little bit of interference with the rebar in the underlying pool bottom, but, with a bit of tweaking, it was huntable. After just a minute or two, I got a decent high tone that was in the silver range. Pam’s husband volunteered to jump in and try to snag the target. Yay! He fished around a bit, but, came up empty. Ok, time for the small coil to help get closer to the target. Still no good, so, I reached over the side with my pin pointer, stretched down as far as I could in the signal area and got right on the target.  Her husband had success this time coming up with the ring along with some muck before he jumped into the hot tub to warm up. After a bit of clean-up, it looked good as before the day’s dip in the pond. Pam was very happy to get her treasured ring back. A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

On 03/29/26, I received a call from Kyra requesting my help in recovering her lost gold wedding band that had been lost on the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Delaware. The wedding band had belonged to her deceased mother, she had lost the ring in the sand on 03/26/26 while throwing a football. I met Kyra at the beach at which time she showed me the area that she believed that the ring had come off her finger and had fallen in the sand.

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Sea Isle City, NJ By Jeffrey Laag of Ring Finders Cape May!

Lost a ring? Don’t Wait, Call NOW!

Received a call from Joes cousin Nicole. Nicole explained that her cousin Joe had just lost his ring in the surf while enjoying the ocean with the family. Joe was body surfing, and at some point, his gold wedding ring had slipped off and disappeared into the ocean. It was just about 5pm when they called and low tide was at 5:30pm. I immediately rushed up and met up with Joe and his family. Joe was fairly confident of where he was at when he noticed the ring was gone but wasnt positive of exactly when it happened. He was between chest deep water and ankle deep surf. I began working a search grid from where he believed was the most probable spot. After recovering many targets in the “wash zone” I began to work my way out to deeper water. Joe and his family had returned to their home for dinner and I assured them that I would continue searching the area to ensure it was thoroughly covered. After about 2hrs of searching I heard the signal I was waiting for. After two scoops in chest deep water out popped Joes ring! Another happy client!

Joes Review:

“Jeff Laag and Ring Finders Cape May are incredible! I lost my wedding ring in the ocean while on vacation last week. Jeff showed up in no time and immediately started his search! I had dropped some change where I thought I lost the ring to help with his search. Jeff found all $9 in change, searching diligently. After two hours I had all but given up and was going to have to tell my wife I lost my ring less than a year into our marriage! Just then, Jeff sent a message that he had concluded his search…and found the ring! Five feet deep in the ocean! If you’ve lost a ring/ valuable metals you need to give this man a call! Thanks Jeff!”

Lost Wedding Band Found With Metal Detector – Atlantic Beach, NC

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Matthew and his wife were enjoying a warm weekend at the beach. Since his fingers sometimes swell, Matthew took off his wedding band and put it in a pouch. Later, after packing up, he realized the ring was missing. His wife posted a plea for help, and a few responses suggested Crystal Coast Ring Finders. The couple had an appointment that afternoon they couldn’t miss, so we agreed to meet the next day. Although pinpointing the exact spot on the beach was tricky, their great detective work brought me within 10 feet of where the ring was lost. Matthew was starting to doubt it could be found, but after a few false signals, I got a loud hit near the new marked spot. Up from the sand came Matthew’s wedding band, back in his hands where it belonged!

Lost Key Fob in the Snow in Edgewater Park NJ

  • from South Jersey (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

This past winter kept me busy.

I had just gotten home & put away all of my detecting equipment from an earlier request when I received a call from Moise. While shoveling, he lost his keys & fob. I told him I could be there in about 30 minutes.

When I got there, he showed me where he was shoveling. There were some pretty high piles of snow. He went back into the house.

I got started. Within 5 minutes, I got a good signal. Dug down about 15 inches, and there were his keys. I knocked on the door and showed him his fob. He was amazed at how quickly I found them. He had been looking for hours.

I love my hobby!!

Ring lost at Coronado found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Sergio was at the beach in Coronado and when doing a simple stretch with his arms, his wedding ring flew off into the soft sand. Raking with his fingers came up dry, so, onto the web he went for help. He contacted both Stan and Curtis here in SoCal who gave him my number. Thanks guys! Sergio wasn’t able to meet me right away to show me the search area, but, he did the next best thing, which was GPS coordinates and photos he’d taken at the loss site. Armed with this info, I went to the beach and figured out the likely location by the landmarks in the photos. I started a spiral search from where I stood, and after about a 1/2 hour I had covered about a 50 foot circle…..but no ring. Hmmm, that was strange as I had reviewed the photos several times and was sure I was in the correct area. Time to start over, so, I walked back to my initial starting point and got a good signal right there! I looked down and realized that the signal was right under my first left foot print in the sand! That was a first for me to have been actually standing on the target I was looking for! I guess I need to learn to get out of my own way! Great to meet you and your sons Sergio, and thank you for the reward.

A baby’s christening ring — lost in the grass, and a family’s hope restored

A baby’s christening ring — lost in the grass, and a family’s hope restored

Some recoveries stay with you longer than others. This one is from the summer of 2025 — and it carried a weight far greater than the size of the ring itself.

Sandra reached out to me after finding my contact information through TheRingFinders. Her message was filled with worry. During their daughter’s christening that summer, the baby had worn a tiny christening ring — a ring that had been passed down through generations in her family. A symbol of love, tradition, and heritage. And now… it was gone.

The ring had slipped away somewhere on their own yard, on a small patch of grass. Not a large area, but when something that precious disappears, even a few square meters can feel like an ocean.

My wife and I packed the car with everything we needed. She joined me on the drive — a little over an hour — and the whole way there, we could feel the tension of the situation. Losing a family heirloom is not just losing an object. It’s losing a piece of history.

When we arrived, Sandra greeted us with a mix of hope and fear. She showed us the exact spot where the christening had taken place, where family had gathered, where photos had been taken… and where the ring had vanished without a trace.

I suited up, powered on the XP Deus, and began sweeping the lawn slowly, carefully, listening for that one signal that would change everything.

Ten minutes passed. Then fifteen.

And suddenly — a clean, strong tone. The kind that makes your heart jump before your hands even start digging.

I knelt down, brushed the grass aside, and there it was.

The tiny christening ring. Untouched. Waiting to be found.

Sandra’s reaction… it’s hard to put into words. Relief, joy, disbelief — all at once. Her eyes filled with tears, and in that moment, the entire weight of the mission hit me. This wasn’t just a ring. It was a memory. A legacy. A piece of her family’s story that she thought was gone forever.

And now, it was home again.

Another recovery — but one I’ll never forget.

Lost wedding band on the beach — and the unexpected power of social media

  • from Terjarv (Finland)
Contact:

Sometimes a single Facebook post can set an entire chain of events in motion.

A few days ago, my wife shared photos from a previous recovery mission — one of those truly memorable ones, when we managed to find a wedding ring that had disappeared in the snow. That post reached farther than we expected.

Suddenly, an acquaintance reached out to her. Another ring had gone missing — this time on a small beach, about an hour and a half from our home. The owner, Urban, was devastated and hoped we might be able to help.

So we packed the car, loaded the gear, and hit the road.

When we arrived, Urban was waiting for us. He pointed out the spot and explained how the ring had slipped off his finger and vanished into the sand and water. I pulled on my drysuit, set up my Minelab Excalibur, and began scanning the area methodically.

It didn’t take long. Maybe ten minutes.

A clear, solid signal — the kind you recognize instantly. I dug carefully, and there it was. The wedding band. Intact, beautiful, and ready to go home again.

Urban was overjoyed. That mix of relief, happiness, and gratitude is hard to describe, but it’s exactly what makes this work so meaningful.

And it all started with a Facebook post.

Social media can be many things — but sometimes, it’s pure magic.

Two Lost Wedding Rings Found on Beach Volleyball Court – Milwaukee, WI

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

It was Monday evening, April 10th. Milwaukee resident, Gabe Stoltz, was enjoying playing beach volleyball at Fat Daddy’s, the popular Sport’s Pub in Milwaukee. That’s when his tantalum wedding ring flew off his hand. Gabe had worn it for nearly two years. Despite searching with rakes and using a metal detector, the ring eluded discovery.

To make matters worse, just 5-minutes later, Gabe’s friend and teammate also felt his white-gold wedding ring leave his hand. And it too vanished in the sand.

I was getting ready for bed when I received a text message from Gabe’s wife inquiring about my metal-detecting services. Over the years I’ve learned that time is of the essence with lost ring searches. And so, I arranged to meet Gabe on location within the hour, arriving around 11:00 p.m.

I performed a quick forensic overview of the events leading up to the ring losses. Gabe showed me where he was standing when the ring vanished and I could see the tell-tail rake marks in the sand.

As is so often the case, the volleyball court was full of metallic debris, coins, foil wrappers, pull tabs and bottle caps. But knowing the conductivity value of tantalum, I could safely ignore many of these signals. Finally, a deep, but clean tantalum signal invited investigation. Sure enough, it was Gabe’s ring!

We then quickly moved to the area where Gabe’s friend lost his ring. A systematic grid search brought the other ring to light as well. Two losses, two searches, two finds and two grateful smiles!

If you or someone you know has lost a wedding ring, even long ago, don’t let its story end. Call me today. I would love to put a smile on your face too.
