WEDDING BAND LOST on EMERALD ISLE BEACH, FOUND JUST in TIME

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)


Walker and Lindsey were packing up their beach gear after a weekend getaway when they realized Walker had taken off his ring to swim in the ocean. Walker called me, and I was able to head his way right after we spoke. They agreed to stay a bit longer to help search the right area of the beach. Within seconds of scanning, my detector gave a loud signal. “I think this is it,” I said, as I pulled Walker’s gold wedding band from the dry.
I hope the delay was worth the result.
Safe travels home!

Lost Ring Recovered in the Ocean in Wildwood, NJ After Football Toss Ends in Panic

A fun day in the ocean at Wildwood, NJ quickly turned stressful when a local beachgoer lost his ring while throwing a football in the surf.

The conditions were perfect for enjoying the beach. Friends and family were spending time in the water, tossing a football back and forth in the waves. During one throw, he felt something unusual on his hand. Moments later, he realized his ring had slipped off his finger and disappeared into the ocean.

Anyone who has ever lost jewelry in the surf knows how quickly panic can set in. Waves constantly shift the sand, visibility is poor, and the search area grows larger with every passing minute.

After spending considerable time searching on his own without success, he decided to call me, John Favano of Ring Finders South Jersey.

When I received the call, I asked several important questions to help narrow down the search area. Determining the direction of the waves, water depth, and the exact activity taking place at the time of the loss can dramatically improve recovery success rates.

Once I arrived in Wildwood, I entered the water and began a systematic metal detecting search. Ocean recoveries require patience, experience, and specialized equipment designed to locate precious metals beneath wet sand and moving water.

After approximately 20 minutes of searching, I received a strong signal beneath the sand. Using my recovery scoop, I carefully dug the target and immediately spotted the missing ring.

The look of relief and excitement on the owner’s face made the entire search worthwhile. What seemed lost forever beneath the Atlantic Ocean was safely back where it belonged.

If you’ve lost a ring, necklace, bracelet, watch, or other valuable item on the beach, in the water, or in the sand, immediate action can significantly improve recovery chances.

Ring Finders South Jersey specializes in lost ring recovery in Wildwood, NJ, and throughout the South Jersey shore communities.

Don’t give up hope. Many items that seem impossible to recover are successfully found every season.

LOST GOLD BRACELET W/GOLD BEARS IN SUMMERFIELD, NC…. FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call from Julie saying she lost a very special gold bracelet with tiny gold bears. While doing some gardening and yard work yesterday.

I told her I can head her way as soon as I load my truck up.

I arrived at 3:25 after getting story and layout I started scanning. I decided to start around the garden area and I actually walked over it not once but twice!! I scanned the garden area then made my way to the front yard where she was doing some weeding out of her flower beds and moved a water-hose with a sprinkler over. I still didn’t find it and decided to head back to the garden area. (Got the feeling, you know?) I scanned around and scanned a hole and as I stepped back I heard a signal but couldn’t see it or anything yet. So I moved to the left a little and when I did I could see something shiny! It was one of the gold bears and then I could see two then three! It was her bracelet with the golden bears!

After reuniting her with her priceless treasure she advised me this was her only connection back to Colorado from where she’s from.

So glad they called me, gave me a chance and even more glad I was able to find it and get it back where it belongs.

Received a message from Joe this past Tuesday evening. Joe explained that last Sunday he was at the beach on 7th street in North Wildwood with family. At some point, while on the beach, his wedding band fell off. Joe didnt realize this until he was on his way home on Rt55 near Elmer NJ. After gathering some details from Joe and checking the forecast and tide tables I figured that I would give it a shot the next morning at low tide. I took the short ride over from home and after about 25 minutes of searching, I swung my coil over a really clean solid signal. One scoop later I had Joes ring in my scoop! I texted Joe a picture and to his disbelief it was, in fact, his ring! Joe and his family came by today and picked up his ring. He informed me that he lost the ring the day before his 8th anniversary. Another successful recovery, another happy couple! See the very nice note they wrote in the pics.

Pine Knoll Shores- Boat Captain Loses Watch Overboard. Found And Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

 

Watch snags and breaks during fall from boat.
Pine Knoll Shores, NC
Mark said he was walking along the port side of his boat when the part he was holding came loose, sending him into the murky water by the dock. On the way down, his watch caught on something and was ripped from his arm, injuring him. Mark called me, and I got there as quickly as I could. The water smelled unpleasant, and the bottom was soft. I didn’t realize the watch had broken into two pieces. My first strong signal underwater was part of the watchband, then a stainless bolt, and a couple of feet away, the rest of Mark’s Tag Heuer watch.

Oura ring lost, found and returned in Denver

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)


Emily lost her Oura ring while gardening at night. Her boys tried to find it with their toy metal detector but could not find it so they called the Ring Finders. She was “98% sure” she lost it in a specific area. There was so much metal edging, garden trash and overhead wires it was a bit difficult. After being unsuccessful in the area she thought I checked her path of travel. I spotted it, no detector needed.

Ring lost and found in Peyton, Colorado

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)


I took a field trip to Peyton, Colorado today because Tony lost his tungsten carbide wedding ring. He was shooting a basket ball while sitting down when his ring flew off. He even got it on video, impressive. I heard the ring hit something on the video but could not see it. He was “sure” it was in the rocks. After a quick unsuccessful search in the rocks I started in the grass. After on pass near where he was sitting I found it! He seemed interested in detecting, so maybe we have another detectorist in the community!

Gold Wedding Ring Recovered in Arlington Heights Il.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

I received a call from Chris (5/31/2026) and he told me that he was doing some yard work in his backyard the day before and at some point his gold wedding band had come off of his finger and he couldn’t find it. He even went and bought a metal detector and still couldn’t find it, and was wondering if I could possibly help.  I told him I’d gladly give it a shot! When I arrived I asked Chris a few questions about what he was doing and where. That’s when he told me that they had Ring camera footage, from the morning it went missing! He said that it shows him with the ring on at one point and it was gone in the next clip! I told him that we know its here and we were going to find it! Chris took me into the backyard and showed me where he was pulling out some shrubs and landscaping, and the patch of dirt he was working in. My third signal was a nice double tapping 62 VDI signal on the DĒUS II.  As I was probing and scraping the topsoil with my pinpointer, I seen the outline of the missing yellow gold ring appear!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

 

Lost ring in Boulder, Co found and returned

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

Carl lost his 14k gold wedding band while doing yard work. He tried looking for it but the grass was so overgrown. His wife told me Carl is more sentimental than her and was upset that he could not find it. Their daughter tried helping find it as well but found us on Ring Finders instead. Carl explained he had gloves on and took them off and on several times. He lost his ring before doing the same thing and said it always found it in his gloves, except for this time. I started on the path of travel found it in about 45 seconds.

Zirconium ring found and returned in Aurora

  • from Lakewood (Colorado, United States)

My first zirconium ring. Derek lost his wedding ring while walking his dog Max, this morning. He walked me through his path explaining his stops along the way. About 20’ from the start of his walk he shook some tree branches that were hanging down to the ground from the heavy snow we got. My spidey senses told me to spend some extra time here. As I was swinging the detector around the tree I saw it before I swung over it. The snow had melted by now but still is difficult to spot. It camouflaged so well with the rock. Zirconium is a low conducting metal, over 90% is used for cladding fuel elements in nuclear reactors due to its low neutron absorption cross-section. 🤯
Derek and Max were both so happy! I mean look at that smile on Max!
