Cape May, NJ Lost gold wedding ring, FOUND! by Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag


Melissa sent me a message in a bit of a panic—her husband Ed had just lost his wedding ring on the beach and she wanted to know if I was available to help. They were sitting right there when he realized the ring was gone. One moment he had it, and the next, it had vanished into the sand. I reassured them to stay put, letting them know I could be there in about half an hour. When I arrived, I quickly marked off the perimeter around where they had been sitting and got to work. In less than five minutes, I heard the satisfying clink of metal in my scoop. The ring was safely recovered, much to their relief. Another fantastic recovery on the Jersey Shore !!
I was contacted by Jesse who lost his palladium wedding band with diamond while performing garden chores at his home in Warren a few years ago. Despite the onslaught of black fly swarms trying to protect this treasure I was able to locate the ring buried deep in the compost heap.

Sonny called me after dark having lost a precious heirloom pendant while playing volleyball at Mother’s Beach in Marina Del Rey. I was available, and let him know I would get there as soon as I could to help him find his lost keepsake.
I arrived a little early, and phoned Sonny to let him know I was there. He saw me in the parking lot, and let me know where he was. I got with him and asked what had happened, and the area of the possible loss. I then got my equipment ready, and began my search. I searched the side of the court he had been playing in first with no luck. I then went to the other side, and halfway into the first pass, a very strong signal rang in my head phones. I dug, and as I was shaking out my scoop, Sonny could hear the clanging of the large pendant, and exclaimed that’s it, he found it. As can be seen in the photo, he is very happy to have back something that means something special to the family.

Avery was soaking up the sun on the beach in Avalon, NJ, when it was time to leave. In the chaos of packing up, she left her chair with her friend. Little did she know, her treasured class ring had slipped out of the cup holder and fallen onto the sand. When her friends departed, they inadvertently took the chair, leaving the ring behind. Avery reached out to me for help. We met on the beach, and she gave me an idea of where they had been sitting. I began a methodical grid search of the first area, but found no targets. I moved on to the second possible area. Suddenly, my metal detector let out a great signal! Digging down, I was thrilled to see the glint of Avery’s ring in the sand. It was a great day in Avalon, NJ.

While applying sunscreen, Tindra noticed that the clasp on her necklace had come undone, causing her charms to fall into the soft sand below. Tindra managed to locate one of the before my arrival. Since she knew the general area to search, the recovery of the final charm was swift, and Tindra expressed great gratitude.
Tindra explained: “The charms are family heirlooms from my family in Sweden. They’re gifted to babies when they’re born and one of my charms is over 100 years old. The “T” that I lost was from my Grandpa and gifted to me when I was a baby”
I was working away on my seashell art when I got a call from Gary saying he lost his wedding ring at the beach. Well, actually his wife lost it after he gave it to her for “safe keeping” while he was digging in the sand. Hey, it happens ! Since I was tied up and my best detecting buddy and Ringfinders partner Cheryl was closer, I called her to see if she could take care of it. And boy, did she ever ! It took longer to turn on her machine and headphones than it did to find the ring ! Three whole swings of her detector and it was back on Gary’s finger. Awesome recovery !


Early on Monday morning, Marim texted me inquiring about my services to recover her lost wedding set. The day before, she had taken off her three rings and placed them on a blanket while applying sunblock. Later that day, thunderstorms moved in, and in the rush to leave, she forgot about the rings. She shook out the blanket, and they likely fell into the sand. It wasn’t until she arrived home that she realized what had happened. She and a friend drove back to the beach that evening, searching with flashlights, but with no luck.
When Marim contacted me, I knew I had to act quickly, as the area of the beach they were lost on was popular with other detectorists. The only problem was that she wasn’t sure exactly what beach they had been at, as her friend had driven and she didn’t visit often. After several texts and phone calls with her friend, we agreed to meet at a nearby grocery store. From there, I followed her and her friend to the beach.
Luckily, it was a relatively quiet, wide stretch of sand, and we were the only ones there on that beautiful morning. Marim was confident we were in the right spot because she could see drag marks in the sand, and she used an app to track her family’s location, which returned us to the exact spot. After only a few minutes of searching, all three rings were safely in my scoop and back on her finger.
Marim was completely relieved. Fortunately, the beach was a private beach, with limited locations for the general public, or there might have been a good chance that someone else would have found the rings before we got there.
