Ring Lost In Beach Sand, Atlantic City NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Metal detectorLost ran Atlantic City New Jersey

Marino sent me a text wondering if I’d be able to come down to Atlantic City and help him and his wife find a very sentimental wedding ring. I told him I’d do everything I could to get there, but asked him to sit tight since Atlantic City is a pretty good drive, especially on a busy holiday weekend.

We were finally able to meet up around 8:00 that evening. I told Marino he’d have to meet me out on the roadway because parking was extremely limited. As luck would have it, I was able to grab a spot in one of the lots right by the boardwalk.

When we got out to the beach, Marino showed me the area where they had been sitting all day. He had a circle about 10 feet in diameter drawn in the sand and said, “The ring is in there somewhere—we just can’t find it.”

He explained that this wasn’t just any wedding ring. He and his wife had actually made the ring together in Canada a few years earlier, making it truly one of a kind and incredibly sentimental.

I started by making a pass around the outside of the circle, then worked my way inward with two more circular search patterns. Before long, I got the signal I was hoping for. Buried fairly deep in the sand was Marino’s wedding ring. It had likely been pushed deeper as they spent hours sifting through the sand trying to find it themselves.

The look of relief on their faces said it all. Another sentimental item was back where it belonged and another successful recovery was in the books for Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder, proudly serving all of New Jersey—and beyond.

Corona Delmar Beach … Man’s Diamond Wedding Band, possibly lost on popular beach..

Mark called me a little after 5 pm. He said he would have called sooner but didn’t know a service like this existed. He told me that he thought he lost his ring a couple weeks before while on the beach playing volleyball in the sand at Corona Delmar. It’s only 2 miles from where I live, but I was 12 miles away in Laguna Beach..
Traffic was so bad that it took me an hour and a half till I was able to meet Mark and his wife Donna at the location.. After a couple weeks another extra hour shouldn’t make too much difference. I couldn’t promise anything but I could grid the area to verify that it’s not there. Donna showed me her matching ring to help me know what kind of signal I would be listening for.
They took off for a walk down the beach. Returning after about a half hour, Mark asked me if I had tried the area by the trash can. I was just setting up to grid that space. Two swings of my detector and a quick dig with my sand scoop and there was Mark’s ring, I was blown away, because I know this beach and this was definitely going to be a long shot.. I now believe in miracles!
It was so special to him because it was custom made with diamonds from his deceased mother and aunt.. When I handed it to him, he was speechless and very emotional. Then came the man hug.. I was also very surprised when his wife told me it was actually more than 5 weeks sense the loss.. Mark didn’t realize the ring was missing until the day after being at the beach.. This beach gets pounded with metal detectors and the city worker who drives the beach sifter is an over achiever ( it’s a very clean beach ).. I say, ” I’ll will try anywhere ” and this proves it pays off.
