Lost Wedding Ring in the surf, Bradley Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

On day one of the vacation, what is the number one priority for most at the Jersey Shore ? You guessed it, head to the beach. And thats exactly what Eric and his family did. What almost ended in tragedy, ended up being a memory that will last forever. Eric was playing with his daughter down where the waves push up onto the beach, when things took a turn for the worst. His absolutely stunning wedding ring slipped off his finger and into the water, and within seconds disappeared out of sight. they searched for what seemed like hours, without any luck. Thats when Eric figured he better call for some help, knowing it may be his last chance of ever seeing his wedding ring again. He gave me all the details, and I agreed to be on location ASAP, as the tide was going to turn, and start coming in. Eric also marked the exact location with google maps on his cell phone, which is a huge benefit, especially when he was not able to meet me on the beach. I quickly searched down the slope to about knee deep without any signs of his ring. The water was ice cold, so rather than using my wetsuit, I ran back to the truck and threw on my waders. I knew it wasn’t that deep, as Erik assured me he was holding his daughters hand when the ring slipped off. I made a few more passes going just a bit deeper. Eric showed up just about then, and we confirmed the mark was right on the spot he was sitting all day long. Just a few more passes and the ring was in my scoop. Nothing better than turning tragedy, into memories.

Yellow Gold Mans Wedding Band Lost/Found At Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

I received a call regarding a lost yellow gold mans wedding band (with 10-27-23 engraved inside) on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The ring was lost on 07/20/24, while James was enjoying a day at the beach. James had placed his treasured ring in a zippered bag for safe keeping, when he decided to put his ring back on his finger he found that it was no longer in the bag. There had been several people who were going in and out of the bag so James felt that the ring had fallen out of the bag and into the sand. I was given the possible location of the lost ring as being on the beach south of Prospect Street at the South end of Rehoboth boardwalk and about three quarters of the way out towards the water. I searched the area for about an hour and a half with no luck in finding the ring. With the ring being lost in the sand for six days prior to my searching for it I felt that the sand rake had gotten it and moved it or that it had been found by someone else with a metal detector. Feeling that I had done my best to find the ring, I began to walk back to the boardwalk while still swinging my metal detector, I all of a sudden heard a familiar tone in my headset and upon digging the item up I found that it was James lost ring. I then promptly took a photo of the ring and texted the photo to James who was happy to get the news. James was in his home state of Maryland at which time he was attending a wedding. I was told that upon hearing the news of the ring being recovered, everyone at the wedding had asked for my cell number.  James was on his way to Bethany Beach on 07/27/24 so I met him in the parking lot of a local business at which time I reunited him with his lost ring.

White Gold Mans Wedding Band Lost/Found At Cape Henlopen State Park Lewes, Delaware

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

I received a call from Scott regarding his lost white gold wedding band that had been lost at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, Delaware on the beach. Scott said that he had been throwing a football to his son and that his ring flew off of his finger and landed in the wet sand just as a wave washed over top of it. Scott said that he ran over to try to recover his ring, but the ring disappeared into the sand as the water covered it. The ring had been lost several hours prior to low tide so when I arrived it was actually low tide and the area of the lost ring was just wet sand. Scott showed me the area that he had marked where the ring was lost, I began to check the area and with a few swings of the metal detector the lost ring was found and returned to its rightful owner. A spectator who was watching me recover the ring approached me and gave me a fist bump and the group of people that he was with up on the dry sand of the beach were cheering and clapping.

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 07/31/24, I was contacted by Josh regarding a silver wedding ring that he had lost on the beach at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Josh had taken his ring off and placed it inside of his baseball cap for safe keeping while he went swimming. After he came out of the water Josh placed his hat back on his head forgetting that his ring was inside of it. The ring fell out of the baseball cap and landed in the dry sand where it quickly disappeared and became lost. Josh marked the area where he believed that the ring was in the sand with his sneakers. I began a search of the area and the lost ring was found about a foot away from the sneakers. The ring was then returned to its rightful.

Ring lost at Mission Beach found.

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

Ethan removed his ring and placed it into his shirt pocket for safekeeping. Later, he bent over to pick something up and his ring fell out into the dry sand. I got the call for help while driving close by, but, didn’t have my detector with me. Headed home, grabbed my gear, my wife, and headed back out into the Saturday afternoon beach traffic. My wife dropped me off and continued to circle for a parking spot while I headed to the search area. Ethan and his wife spotted me as  I spotted them, and they waved me over a small section of beach where they believed the ring to be hiding. After getting the low down on how the ring was lost and the description of the ring, I started to grid. first target sounded real good, and a few seconds later, my pin pointer had zeroed in on the target. Sure enough, Ethan’s ring was now found at the same time my wife found a parking spot!  A pleasure to meet you both and thank you for the reward.

Find lost ring lbiWawa

David was enjoying the day on the beach, when he did what many others do. Remove their wedding ring and place it somewhere for safe keeping. Then he enjoyed the entire day on the beach, swimming, relaxing, having some food and drinks, etc. Now comes the dreaded part of the fantastic day, pack up time. That in itself is pretty depressing, so most are not thinking about the prior events and precautions they took, and grab up their belongings, and head to the car for the long drive home. Several hours later after David arrived home it hit him !!! Oh no, my wedding ring, and exactly as you thought, I was missing !!!! So David finally accepted the fact that it must have fallen out of his shorts pocket and into the sugar sand somewhere where he was sitting. David was able to locate my services and reach out wanting to know if I could assist. Luckily for David, he was able sitting very close to some fixed structures on the beach, and gave very detailed measurements to his location on the beach. Once I arrived I searched the entire location and had no luck, I remember him saying there were stairs directly across from his chair, which meant I needed to look a few feet closer to the ocean. Sure enough, one path further and David’s ring was in my sand scoop. I snapped some pics and sent them to him. He called immediately in total shock. We agreed the best way to return the rings was through certified mail, as he was just to far to make the return trip to the Jersey shore. David also requested to not post his picture on social media, which I truly respect his decision.

🌟 A Heartwarming Recovery: Lost Wedding Ring Found with a Metal Detector 🌟

Armed with our trusty metal detector, we carefully scanned the area, determined to reunite him with his cherished symbol of love. After around 20 minutes, the detector beeped—there it was, nestled beneath the grass! The look of relief and joy on his face when he saw that ring was priceless. 💍

Necklace lost at Mission Beach found

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

Aaron was body surfing when a wave blew over his head and ruthlessly stripped him of his gold necklace. Aaron realized it immediately and tried to recover it, but, at the same time, the lifeguards were telling everyone to leave the water due to a large rip current. Reluctantly, Aaron left the water and contemplated what to do to get it back. An online search brought him to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. When he called, I got the situation and made a plan to conduct a search early the next morning to take advantage of the -1.1 low tide. My buddy Cris and I met Aaron at the site at 3:45am and divided up the search area after Aaron got us a starting point. I started gridding east/west working my way south. while Cris did a north/south grid. After some time passed without much in the way of targets, I went back to my starting point and started going north. After a few passes and at the west end of one pass in as deep a surf as I dared, I got a nice solid 12 on my Equinox 900. Two scoops later and I had the target. I grabbed the lump still buried in the sand of my scoop and headed out of the surf to see what it was. It felt good, but, without my headlamp turned on at the time, I wanted to get out of the water and take a look before I let go of it. I walked out toward Cris who had his headlamp on and revealed what I had found. Sure enough, it was a gold looking chain. A quick flush in the water to remove the sand and we had Aaron’s beautiful gold necklace in hand. Needless to say, Aaron was a very happy man and thanked us profusely. A pleasure to meet you Aaron and thank you for the generous reward.

Necklace and Engagement Ring Lost, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, Recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

It was another fantastic day in New Jersey so Denise and her family decided to pack up and head to the beach. Denise’s nephew loves the beach, especially flying kites when the wind is just right. Prior to flying the kite, she removed her necklace and engagement ring. Denise slipped the necklace through her ring and secured the clasp, then placed them both in her top pocket for safe keeping. They both had ran all over the soft white sand, almost covering the entire block, well about 2/3 of it anyhow. It was later on when she looked in the pocket and , OH NO, both were missing. Everyone searched the area for quite some time when they decided a metal detector was needed. They headed down to the local store and purchased one, figuring the necklace would soon be located. Well, unfortunately that did not work, so they decided to call in a professional. Once I arrived and got all the details, I covered the entire area where they were flying the kite, figuring that was the most  likely area they would have fallen out of her top pocket. With nothing to show for my effort, we decided the next most traveled area was the top of the tide line, and down a bit to the low tide mark. After a few passes, I asked them to move back a little, and sure enough, very close to the chairs, was the spot my metal detector sniffed out the ring and necklace. Everyone was totally amazed, and the best I can figure, either the necklace never made it into her top pocket, or coincidently it fell out right in the area they had set up the chairs and stuff. Regardless another happy ending !!!!
