Lost White Gold & Diamond Wedding Ring, FOUND! Ventnor, NJ By Ringfinder Jeffrey Laag


Jayce lost her white gold and diamond ring in her back yard. After two days of searching and two new metal detectors, she was frustrated and had given up much hope of finding it. She finally contacted me and within 4 hours we were in her back yard recreating the events that lead to the lost ring. Bingo! Ring Found! One more happy customer and one more cherished keepsake back with its rightful owner! This doesn’t ever get old. It is truly an honor and very rewarding to be a part of the story.




On 7/22/25, I received a text from Kendra just after 6:30 am saying, “Hello. Hope I’m not waking you. What do you charge to search for a missing ring? We’re staying in Cherry Grove. I believe I lost my ring while playing volleyball in the pool.” It was a couple of hours later before I saw her text. I told her how my services work including the St. Jude’s donation I make with any money I get. She responded back that “we’re here until Saturday. I would love help finding it. We have obviously looked a lot lol, but no luck.” I called her and got more details and told her I could be there within the hour; I had a couple of things to do. I also ask for the address, which she sent.
When I got to the rental she was staying, I text her saying “Here.” She text back that she was by the pool. When we met, she advised me that they had checked the pool and surrounding area. Unfortunately, there was a metal fence surrounding the pool area. Luckily, I had brought my gold bug with a small coil and my pin pointer. I searched all along the parameter and came up with nothing but trash. I noticed a couple of bushes inside the fence with rocks as landscape, so I checked all around those. At this point, I was out of options and stopped to talk with Kendra. As we’re talking, Kendra said, “What is that?” I turned around to look and there was Kendra’s beautiful white gold wedding set laying on the concrete in plain view. I reached down and picked it up and handed it to Kendra. There was absolutely no explanation as to how the rings were just laying there. Thinking back on it, in the process of looking along the inside of the fence, I did move a couple of chairs a little to get them out of the way, but nothing major. We’ll never know for sure how Kendra’s rings ended up in plain view. The important thing is they’re back on Kendra’s finger where they belong.
Kendra – Thank you for trusting me to help find your lost treasure, however it happened!!

I was contacted by a gentleman up in Wake Forest. He had been watering plants in the yard and noticed when he was through that one of his rings was missing. He described it as a man’s class ring, which was great news (a man’s class ring is large and if the person knows roughly where they lost it, it is usually a straightforward recovery). Even better, he had a second, slightly larger class ring to show me what I was looking for. (The larger ring was for his PhD degree and the smaller one – the one that was lost – was for his undergraduate degree. Other than the size difference, they were identical.) He had thoroughly searched all the usual places (pockets, floors, counters, trash, etc.) and finally concluded that it must be outside, which is when he called me. He showed me the path he had followed when watering and mentioned that he had stopped only once, to fill up a pail with water. I started where he started and within 5 minutes I had located the ring. It had come off his finger when he was filling the pail and had fallen through the grass onto the dirt. Given the way the grass had grown up in that area, there was no way it could be seen from above. Anyway, recovered the ring for him – another happy ending!

Victor called me on a recommendation. He stated he lost his wedding band of 3 years while enjoying the ocean. I made plans to hunt before the next low tide (12:15 a.m.) and that was very late so I said there may be a chance it’s on the beach so I began searching just after 10:30.
Victor and his friends and family had gathered above the location and they knew just where Victor’s custom made gold band was lost.
I started my grid search well above the current tide and progressed down to the waves rolling onto the beach. Just as I my boots were getting wet and the grid lines in the sand were being washed away, I hit a very strong signal. Being that the ring was large, my detector screen displayed the high end of what a gold ring would signal. One scoop into the sand and the following wave cleared out the sand. I peaked inside and saw that beautiful golden circle! I walked up to the group who had phones and lights running and let the ring roll out of the sand scoop in front of them. It was a great feeling watching them celebrate the recovery!
