Lost Wedding Ring & Engagement Ring Recovery | Seaside Heights NJ Bay Beach | NJ Ring Finder
Just after dinner I received a phone call from Vinny asking if I could help locate his lost wedding ring and his wife’s wedding ring. They had been searching for days, tearing apart the house and retracing every step they had taken during their vacation in SSP. They checked sidewalks, roads, and anywhere they could think of, but had no luck.
Eventually, they narrowed the search area down to a small bay beach in SSP where they believed the rings may have been lost.
The weather forecast wasn’t looking promising, but I figured I had enough time to make it to the beach before the approaching storm rolled in. When I arrived, Vinny explained again that we were searching for his wedding ring and his wife’s wedding ring.
I began searching the area where they believed the rings were lost. Almost immediately, I received a beautiful signal. A few scoops later, out popped his wife’s wedding band! Vinny was thrilled.
As I continued searching, I asked him to describe his wedding ring once more. I got another strong signal only a few feet from where I found the first ring. But this wasn’t a man’s wedding band—it was a gorgeous woman’s engagement ring.
Vinny happened to be on the phone with his wife, so I asked him exactly what her ring looked like. Suddenly he exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! My wife just told me she lost her engagement ring too!”
That was the first time anyone mentioned a third ring.
I held the ring up for Vinny to see and the shock and excitement on his face was priceless. What started as a search for two wedding rings had suddenly become the recovery of an engagement ring as well.
I continued searching for Vinny’s wedding band, but during the search he received another phone call. This time, his wife had found his wedding ring tucked away on their stroller where it had been hiding the entire time.
It may have been a little confusing keeping track of which rings were lost and which were found, but in the end it was a wonderful outcome. Vinny was incredibly grateful, and after chatting for a few more minutes, we both headed home happy.
Another successful recovery by NJ Ring Finder!
Yes unfortunately another lost ring? Thought she had lost it at her brother-in-laws house at a birthday party. After covering that location we then went to her home and recreated her morning that day. Worked a few areas around her house then she remembered she took a walk into the woods so off we went. Swinging the metal detector along a wooded trail to a beautiful location turned up nothing. Of course I kept swinging on the way back and actually spotted it on the ground a bit off the trail and made the find. It is interesting how a ring ends up where it is eventually found. Every time I make a find I learn something new about how and where to look. It is not as simple as it seems, and why we get calls from people who have spent days searching. So yes we can usually help and often its is not always with the metal detector or in the location believed to be.
Got a call for a lost ring in Ferndale Washington. He was doing yard work and throwing all his debris over a fence into a field spreading it out as he went along. So of course he thought it flew off his finger while flinging plant cuttings. Often a lost item isn’t where you think its is. Unfortunately the only way to rule out the idea is to search. It was a straight forward area of search that turned up nothing. I then will try to recreate the scene and take the client back in time to relive the moment before the obvious to after. Help them walk through it and usually some other locations or ideas will turn up. Unfortunately in this case that did not help either. I kept swinging back to my car and found it in the parking area. Another location where people often lose items.
Today in Bellingham Washington I found a ring for a client who was enjoying our warm weather in the lake. He actually lost two rings and saw them fly off his hand while throwing a football. For those who do not know, when you are in cold water your fingers shrink and it is very easy to lose rings. Especially when making harsh moves like throwing a football. If you have a ring or rings that are already loose, you should remove them before swimming in cold water. Always better safe then sorry! These were lost in about four feet of water. He was able to find one at the moment of loosing them but called me out to find the second. Without too much trouble the second ring was recovered.
