Lost Gold & Diamond Rings, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag


I received a call from Laura regarding the loss of her Platinum Diamond Womens Wedding Band at Middle Sex Beach located in South Bethany Beach, Delaware. Laura stated that she was throwing a football around on the beach when her ring slipped off her finger and disappeared into the sand. Laura said that they had marked the area where the ring had been lost. I responded to Middle Sex Beach where I met with Laura and began the search for her lost ring. After a careful check of the area that Laura had marked the ring was nowhere to be found. I then expanded my search eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean for about fifteen feet at which time the lost ring was found and recovered.

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS:
Alex called to ask for assistance to locate Allison’s ring that was dropped on the beach.
The couple was attending a reunion of family members from various states. Allison was showing her grandmother the unique 2-piece ring when it was dropped and buried into the sand. Upon arrival, and between bursts of rain, I noticed they had marked a very small search area and with 4-5 swings of my detector coil I hit a very solid signal. I told them before uncovering the ring “I think this is it”. Using my pinpointer to find the exact location, I pulled up a handful of sand with Allison’s platinum ring. They were all heading back home the following day.

July 5, 2025, Chalker beach Old Saybrook , CT. Bryan and his family were enjoying a beach day on a crowded beach when he realized that his gold chain holding his sentimental gold baby ring had opened. Somewhere in the area it had fallen into the sand, it could have been near his chairs or along a circuitous path he had walked between several other beach goers. Word quickly spread about the lost ring. A friend of mine at the beach mentioned that I might be around to help since I am known in the beach community as the lost jewelry recovery person. I have lived at the beach for twenty years and have helped others find their lost jewelry. Amazingly I had just gotten back home from Bluff Point State Park beach in Groton for a wedding ring recovery. I was at the beach within 5 minutes. we scoped out the area where his blanket, umbrella and chairs had been set up and I started detecting. We had to move the chairs because of the interferences and when nothing was found I asked him to walk the path where he noticed it was missing. A few feet into the path I had a reasonable signal but had interference from nearby chairs. The people kindly moved a few and I brought out the pin pointer and got a great signal. A few sweeps of the pin pointer and I saw the glint of a tiny gold ring. I smiled and said we had found it. The beach crowd that was watching the events unfold exploded in shouts of joy. He looked at me stunned and then realized it was now found and gave me a great big hug. I asked for some pictures, and everyone then left the beach with smiles. Glory to St Anthony and to God for their divine help. Miracles do happen.

July 4, 2025, Ambar a lifelong Rhode Islander never takes her jewelry off at the beach. While playing football with her sons at the water’s edge got hit by a wave that washed her diamond gold wedding and engagement rings off her fingers and disappeared into the ocean. she reached out to a friend of mine Gary who is a local ring finder but was on vacation and he recommended me. We often work as a team and cover and help each other as needed. She called me that night and I was there at 6am before the holiday beach crowds started arriving at the beach. She met me there with her brother-in-law and we walked to the spot on the beach where they had been playing. Considering there was a pretty bad storm that suddenly passed through the area over night I started a gridded search of the area and immediately got a great signal at the water’s edge just as the tide was coming in. I scooped up the target and brought it up to her and with the aid of my pin pointer I saw the glint of gold and diamonds in the sand and handed her the engagement ring. One found was a very good sign, I knew the other had to be close to the first one. The incoming tides and wave action was making things a bit more difficult. I was getting a lot of interference and false signals. After calibrating my machine, I got a weaker but still a solid target signal. I scooped up signal and laid it down next to her. A few seconds later using the pin pointer a diamond wedding band was now popping out of the sand. It took only about ten minutes to get both rings back on her fingers. It actually took me an hour to get there but it was worth every minute to see how happy I made her feel. Her brother-in-law was stunned and could not believe I was able to recover them. He then took my phone and started taking pictures of the happy occasion. As we were leaving, she excitedly was telling all the incoming beach goers waiting in long lines of our success. I called Gary to thank him for the referral and together as a team we brought the rings back home. Thanks to St Anthony and praise God we were successful. Miracles do happen and have faith and never give up hope. we see miracles every day.

Grant contacted me after losing his cross in the volleyball court. I was available, and left right away.
When I got to the beach, I found Grant, and he explained the loss, and where it occured. It took about one minute to find his cross, and give it back. He and all his friends were very happy..
