Lost watch, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Barbara Ann. Barbara explained that she had spent the day on the beach, here in Cape May, this past Sunday. While at the beach she had removed her watch before going for a swim in the ocean. She placed her watch in the pocket of her cover up for safe keeping. Later in the day she gathered her belongings and headed off the beach. Shortly after returning home she realized that her watch was still in her cover up. When she went to retrieve it, it was gone. Barbara immediately returned to the beach and began searching where she had been sitting that day. after a while, searching, she came up empty-handed and began researching her options. While looking to rent or purchase a metal detector to search herself, Google recommended calling Ring Finders Cape May as an alternative. Now Tuesday Barbara called last evening right around dinner time, after gathering some details I headed over to Broadway Beach and met Barbara. After reviewing the general area I began grid searching the area, after a short hunt I picked up a signal, the only signal thruout the search, and out came Barbaras watch from the sand! Barbara was elated with joy as the watch possessed significant sentimental value to her. Another successful recovery!

Barbaras Review:

“ I lost my watch on the beach. It was an expensive watch but even more sentimentally valuable. I did everything I could to find it . Two days later, as a last resort, I did a Google search for the possibility of renting a metal detector and instead was advised to find a professional detectorist and given a link to Ring Finders in Cape May. When I called , Jeff Laag answered and came out to meet me within 15 minutes. He’s amazing, he understands how important these lost items can be to people. He is a kind, caring man who listened to my whole story, evaluated the search area and got started. The miracle happened within 20 minutes. Jeff found my watch! I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t know what to say, I needed something so much better than just “thank you.” So, Jeff Laag, thank you thank you again and again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Labor Day Weekend Ring Rescue

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)

The Vanderbilt Ring That Took a Swim

Wilden was out in the lake enjoying some time with his wife, tossing a football back and forth, when things took an unexpected turn. As Wilden threw the football to his wife, his newly acquired college ring slipped right off his hand and disappeared into the lake.
This wasn’t just any ring—it was his Vanderbilt University college ring, and his wife had just bought it for him about two days earlier! Needless to say, Wilden was probably already starting to think about how comfortable the doghouse was going to be.
I headed out to help and began searching the lake. Luckily, the water was only about 3–4 feet deep, making the search a little easier. It didn’t take long before I located Wilden’s Vanderbilt ring resting beneath the water.
Ring recovered, crisis averted, and most importantly… Wilden is officially out of the doghouse!
Another ring found, another happy ending.

Lost gold ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Phil yesterday just ahead of an incoming storm. Phil explained that he was exiting the ocean and shook off his hands when his wedding ring slipped off and was immediately swallowed up by a passing wave. Phil and his wife searched the shallow with no success. Given the time of day, current tide schedule and approaching storm I decided it would be best to attempt recovery during this morning low tide. Phil did an excellent job of marking the area with a pin and taking reference photos. This morning I arrived on the beach at Phils pinned location and began searching. After about an hours time I swung my coil over Phils ring and recovered it from approx 14” down in the sand! Phil and his family finished breakfast and met me on Decatur St beach, here in Cape May and retrieved his ring. Another successful recovery, another saved vacation!

Phils Review:

“Jeff is the best! I lost my gold wedding ring on the southern tip of Cape May beach right as the tide was coming in. We called Jeff immediately, and he was able to head out to the exact spot at the next low tide—roughly 19 hours later. About an hour into searching, he found it! We were sure it was gone forever, especially after a pretty bad storm rolled through that night. Jeff came to the rescue. He is highly professional, and I cannot recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Lost gold & diamond medallion, FOUND! North Cape May, New Jersey

By Jeffrey Laag

I received a call from Bree. Bree explained that she had attended a wedding on the bay, here, in Lower Twp. While at the wedding, Bree had lost a very special medallion from her necklace. This particular piece was a gift upon her retirement from The United Stated Coast Guard. This was probably one of the oldest pieces I have recovered for someone as she explained that this piece dates back to the 1650’s! Bree believed that the medallion may have been pulled off by a child she was holding at some point during the ceremony. Bree and her family had returned several times with sand sifters, spending hours searching for the piece with no luck. Bree explained that she and her family had even considered purchasing their own detector but weren’t sure of the quality and pricing of what they found locally and how to properly use the device. After gathering some specifics, I proceeded down to Bay drive and began my search. Luckily Bree was able to provide some great photos of where the wedding had taken place on the beach that day. After about 10 minutes of searching, I managed to recover the medallion and circle clasp that attached it. When Bree arrived to meet me I told her that she didn’t need to get sandy as I already had her medallion recovered, much to her amazement and relief. Happy tears began flowing! Another happy ending, another successful recovery!

PLATINUM WEDDING RING LOST ON NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH FOUND IN SECONDS

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)


Tim told me he had spent a few hours at a North Topsail Beach access with his dog before packing up and heading home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized his wedding ring was missing. I offered to drive the 75 miles to meet him right away and help find it. When we met, Tim had a clear memory of where he’d set up on the beach and mentioned his dog had dug a spot in the sand there. We both figured the ring had to be nearby. I asked him to choose the spot he thought it might be, and he was only off by about a foot. Passing through the area, I got a strong 63 signal on my XP Deus II metal detector—right in the platinum range. I told him, “Your ring is right there,” marking the spot with my coil. My pinpointer quickly confirmed it, and I pulled Tim’s wedding band from its sandy hiding place.

This year’s charity is “Fishin’ for a Cure,” and 10% of Tim’s reward will be donated to support individuals battling breast cancer.

Lost wedding ring, FOUND! Cape May, NJ

By Ring Finders Cape May

I received a call from Jimmy. Jimmy explained that he had just applied sunscreen and was shaking his hands off when his wedding band flung off his finger and disappeared into the sand. Jimmy and his family searched for several hours before and could not locate the ring. Shortly after calling, Ring Finders Cape May was on the beach with Jimmy. After a brief discussion about the possible location of the ring Dan began grid searching the beach. After a very brief search Jimmy’s ring emerged from the sand. Another successful recovery!

“This man showed up, was beyond friendly, extremely helpful, and located my wedding band quickly! (which I was looking for, for about 3 hours!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Crystal Coast Ring Finders Locate and Return Ring Lost in the Sand

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Emerald Isle, NC – Jesse called for help to find his lost wedding band. He had given it to his wife before going into the ocean, but it somehow disappeared into the sand. He told me he’d tried searching on his own without any luck. When I arrived, I asked to have a beach chair moved out of the way and began my search. After one pass, I was surprised not to find it. I turned to search another area when my coil picked up a metallic target just at the edge of my swing. As I bent down to investigate, I spotted something black barely sticking out of the sand—and in seconds, Jesse’s ring was back on his finger!

Lost Ring Scotch Plains NJ… Found!!!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)

? The Best Cheering Squad a Metal Detectorist Could Ask For! ?

This may have been one of the most fun ring recoveries I’ve ever been a part of!

I was contacted by Mitch after his son lost his ring somewhere in their backyard. He had placed the ring in his shirt pocket for safekeeping while playing T-ball with his two daughters. Unfortunately, sometime while they were playing, the ring slipped out and disappeared into the grass.

When I arrived, we talked through where everyone had been and came up with a search area. Then it was time to start gridding the yard.

And I definitely wasn’t searching alone! ?

Mitch was right there helping me mark the grid as I worked my way back and forth across the yard, making sure we covered every section. Maria stayed outside the entire time, watching and waiting with anticipation for that one signal we were all hoping for.

They were completely invested in the hunt and quickly became my personal cheering squad! ? Every pass through the yard felt like we were all searching together.

And then…

? There it was!

The ring was finally located hiding in the grass!

The excitement when I pulled it out was awesome. Mitch and Maria were thrilled, I was thrilled, and the whole recovery just had such a great vibe from beginning to end.

Sometimes the best part of metal detecting isn’t just finding what was lost. It’s getting to share that moment with the people who thought it might be gone forever.

? Ring found. Mission accomplished. And one seriously fun hunt!

Loved being able to put this one back where it belongs!

 

LOST GOLD WEDDING BAND AT WHITE LAKE, NC…FOUND and MAILED TO OWNER!!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

UPDATE:

The ring I recovered on 8/5/26 and mailed to its owner in Chester, VA has made it safely back, been resized and shouldn’t come off again!

Back story: family was on vacation from VA, visiting White Lake, NC. While spending time with family in the water she felt both rings slide off into the water. Her husband was able to recover the engagement ring, but lost the wedding ring in the sand.

Week later, after being contacted by her sister, I made the drive down and go to the spot! About an hour and a half later I had the ring in my scoop!

I texted her saying it has been safely recovered and asked for her address so I could get it back to her asap!

She was super excited and couldn’t believe I had found it, much less willing to mail it back to her!

This is what I love to do and what I enjoy the most after turning someone’s tears to joy, sadness to happiness again and the feeling of devastation to hope and then gratefulness to have any item back!

Numbers are the same as my last recover because I had already counted it into my numbers on 8/5/26!
