Urgent Search for Whangarei Ring Lost in Surf, Found!

  • from Paihia (New Zealand)

Late yesterday afternoon, Vega contacted me for help to find her lost ring at the beach.
She had been boogie-boarding at Ocean Beach, a beautiful surf beach on the outer coast of Whangarei – and had lost her ring in the sea.
After some google searches, her daughter suggested that Vega contact me.

Shortly after I had been given the circumstances, I was asking my long-suffering boss for the day off, again.
He agreed (I could imagine the eyes rolling), and so I was able to call Vega back and tell her that I would travel down first thing in the morning.
Marine recoveries are always against the clock – Never more so than when the person is on the last day of their holiday, and the ring has been lost in the intertidal zone on a surf beach!

I met Vega and her husband onsite, and I was very pleased to see they had pushed a stick into the sand yesterday to give me their best guess as to where it might be.
The dry fluffy sand where they had been sitting was the first search. Five minutes into it I dug a loud tone in the headphones – A flash of gold emerged…only to be a ‘kiddy-bling’ butterfly ring.
With a big grin, I jokingly asked Vega’s husband if this was it.
Dry sand cleared, and the tide approaching low, I returned to the car to get kitted up to head out into the surf.

This is where ringfinding experience, dedication and discipline come into play – careful tracking of coil coverage is critical to avoid missing even a ring-sized patch of sand. Not an easy task with surf breaking on you.
I wanted to cover the difficult section in the deepest water first, as this would be the first to be out of reach after the tide turned. It’s physically demanding fighting the waves, currents and pushing the detector through the water for several thousand sweeps.
After clearing the deeper water, I was glad to be able to start moving into the shallows for some respite on the arms.

Some time later, I heard a distinctive quiet tone in the shallows.
It took three fast scoops of sand to get to it, the shelly sand was very light and mobile and flowed straight back in the hole as fast as I could remove it.
The hole was quiet after the third scoop, and I lifted it out confident that there was a ring inside.
After sluicing the sand through, I was left with a few shells – and a gold ring.

Vega was further up the beach, standing in the shallows watching the sea. She looked up as I approached, I held the ring up with a big smile.
Her eyes lit up as she put the ring straight onto her finger and vowed it wouldn’t come to the beach again.

Johnathon called for help in finding his wedding ring. He was at work, and walked across a bridge that went into the building when his ring came off and fell into the tall grass below. It was night, but I knew that given the right location I would be able to help him, so I told him I would come right away.

When I got there Johnathon showed me the area he believed the ring fell into, and it was covered with very tall ornamental grass, so I got my detector with a narrow coil to do the search. It took a while hiking up and down the hillside to search, making sure to grid thoroughly. Fortunately the area was clean of metal trash which made the search easier and quicker. I then came upon one big clump of grass, got a good tone, put my pin pointer in, and found his ring. I was able to reunite Johnathon with his ring within 20 minutes of arriving, which allowed him to get back to his job with a happier outlook on the day.

Gerry called asking if I would be available to do a search for him. I said I was, and asked what the problem was. He told me he had been gardening 2 weeks prior, and because of his recent weight loss, his ring of 46 years somehow slipped off in the process. He and his wife had searched over and over with no luck. I let him know that I was on my way, and was happy to help him out.

When I arrived Gerry showed me 5 small trough planters that he had been working in, and a possible hedge row that he thought it might have fallen in. I began with the planters pushing my pin pointer into the soft potting soil to try and get a signal from the ring, but was not able to find it in the planters. I was getting ready to look in the hedge row, when Gerry brought over a trash can lid with some potting soil and dead plant material. I lifted the plants and shook them, and then put my pin pointer into the soil when my pin pointer fired up. There it was, and I held the ring up for Gerry. He looked surprised, and told me he had searched that dirt at least twice. Well I was glad to get this token of love that he had for 46 years back to him.

Diamond Stud Earring Lost in the Sand at Manhattan Beach…Found and Returned

I received a call from Michelle who told me she had lost a diamond stud earring in the sand at the beach that day. It was getting dark, and I asked if she would be able to find the area that it was lost in, as diamond stud earrings are one of the most difficult pieces of jewelry to find because there is such a small amount of metal attached to them., She said she knew exactly where it happened, and I told her that I would leave shortly to do the search.

When I got to the beach Michelle’s husband Austin met me to show the location of the search. In the dark we walked out, and oh boy, when considering a small item like a stud earring the beach looks so vast. Well we got to the area where Michelle had told her husband to look, and very wisely I could see the she had drawn two lines to look between (about 10 feet apart), because she felt it come out of her ear. At my request Austin had brought the matching earring in a Ziplock bag, and I tested my detector on it. I had to be within one inch for the detector to find it, and I was hoping that it did not get buried too deep. I started my search, and was finding some trouble with the black sand which was causing my super sensitive detector to sound off every couple of inches which I would have to check. I worked slowly towards the other end of the area. When I got to the end I got a bit more solid signal, reached down and brushed the sand away when just under about 1/2 inch of sand out pops Michelle’s earring. I thought about how amazing it was to find it on such a large beach in the darkness of the night, and then held it up for Austin. He came over likewise amazed. Well he then told me they were from Colorado, and were going back in a couple of days. He did not want his picture taken, so I stood in for him.

Barnegat NJ Lost Wedding Ring in the Yard recovered by Edward Trapper NJ Ring Finder 2022

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Samantha messaged me last night about her ring that flew off her daughter, Johanna’s finger while she was playing in the front yard. It was her grandmothers ring and had great sentimental value to her. I had already went to bed, but my auto message prompted her to call. After getting the details it was pretty apparent the ring had slid off her daughters finger when she threw her hands in the air. We didn’t know how far it flew, but knew positively, it was in the grass, someplace in the front yard. I met her right after she got off work to start the search. When I pulled up I didn’t like what I saw. It was an underground electric transformer box right on the corner of the property. If you know metal detectors the EMI interference from them can sometimes make the search impossible. I didn’t let her know this, and adjusted my machine to the conditions. Not 10 minutes later the machine gave the sweet sound of a platinum ring under the coil. I felt around with my pin pointer, as the grass was deep, and it was pushed into the dirt a bit from the family searching the day before. When I spotted the ring, I held the pointer on it to let it keep screaming, and looked over to her with a big smile on my face. She ran over in total amazement, with a priceless look on her face. The next 15 minutes are what makes this hobby so special, it was very sentimental moment.#njringfinder, #lostring,#lostcross,#lostringlavallettenj,#lostringortleybeachnj,#lostringLBI,#lostringholgatenj,#lostringsurfcitynj,#lostringlongbranchnj,#lostringbradleybeachnj,

Dina contacted me about a phone she had lost the night before at the beach. I asked a lot of questions like where on the sand was it lost knowing this beach is machine groomed by the county daily. When she said it was in the towel line I did not hold much hope for a recovery. She did tell me that it was still showing on the “Find My IPhone” app, and even sent the latest screen shot from the app. She told me she was not able to meet me there because of her job, but told me where to look, and the screen shot gave me a general area as well. I let her know that I would give it a try, and went there to look.

When I got there the area of the search was packed with people, but I began my search anyway weaving in and out trying very hard to not disturb anybody. People would move in and out which helped in covering most of the area. I found a few items, but not the phone. Then I moved up a little more, and got an overpowering signal, put the scoop in, and to my amazement out pops the phone. It had only been covered by about an inch of sand, and had to have been walked on by myriads of people from the time it was lost until I found it. I was surprised that it had not been found seeing it was so shallow, and could have been felt underfoot. Well I was able to get it back to her that night when she got off work, and she was happy for sure.

Matt called saying he had lost his ring at the beach. He said it had just happened about an hour before the call, and he and his friends could not find it. I let him know that I would come right away.

I got to the beach, and had to park about half a mile away, but was able to find Matt. When he showed me the area I could see a lot of sand had been moved, and there was at least one child’s sand sifter that had been used in the process. He was sure where it should be as he had watched it come off of his finger. Well I figured to begin where they had already looked, and went over the whole area without a signal. Then just on the outskirts of where they had searched I got a good signal, dug, and had his ring in the scoop. I was able to give him a bit of relief to not have to go home without his ring, a happy day all around.

I got a call from Shane, he had just lost his wedding ring and was unable to find it in the sand at the beach. I was available and told him I would be there as soon as I could travel the distance and find parking.

When I got to the beach, I found Shane who was at a beach party with friends, and they had marked off the area of the loss with about 20 tennis balls which I thought looked pretty cool. Shane explained to me what had happened and where he was when the ring was lost. I turned on my detector, swung a few times, got a solid signal, scooped, and found his ring, which took all but 30 seconds. I was thrilled to get the party back on track. Great day!
