LOST 14k GOLD ENGAGEMENT RING IN RAEFORD, NC……FOUND!!!
Received a text saying this young lady had lost her engagement ring while throwing a ball for her dog. As soon as she threw it, she felt it fly off and heard a “DING” as it hit the metal fence. She wasn’t sure if it was in the yard or over the fence.
Her, her fiancé along with a friend spent all day looking for it and tried using a metal detector as they raked pine straw and putting them in bags.
I arrive, get the story and based on the details, I knew it had to be over the fence. I scanned the inside first, just to make sire, but quickly headed for the other side. After about 15-20 mins a get a good ring signal and there it was in the pine straw on the other side of the fence.
Now it is back where it belongs!!

Ring lost in SUV found
Rose was sitting in the back seat with her young child sitting in the middle seat, when the child started to get a bit fussy. To help with a little distraction, Rose gave the child one of her rings to hold. Well, that didn’t last long as the ring was dropped and disappeared. Not seeing the exact moment of the drop, a search ensued but, it couldn’t be found. With the prospect of an expensive trip to a repair shop to have the seats removed, Rose tried to tell herself that it didn’t really matter that much. After a couple of months, that ring still was on her mind, so, she searched for an alternative way to maybe recover it. An online search brought her to TRF and my contact info. We discussed the situation over the phone and decided to give my services a try. When I arrived, I got the full story and was shown the vehicle in question. The middle seats didn’t move forward or backward….just the seat back would fold down. With my inspection camera, I could see underneath the seat that there were all sorts of cracks and crevices the ring could have ended up in. After looking around underneath for a while, I tried a different tact. Looking down from the top, I tried to figure out where the ring could possibly have gone down. There weren’t many spaces wide enough for the ring to pass through. One spot by the seat belt where the middle seat met the side seat looked promising, so, down the inspection camera probe went. At the bottom, I got what looked to possibly be the edge of a ring, so, I asked Rose for a more detailed description, and she showed me a photo of the ring she had on her phone. We both looked at the screen on my inspection camera, and while I wiggled the probe around a bit, we got a better look at the object. YES! That’s it! Now the fun part….trying to get it out without having to remove the seat. I had brought with me many tools, and chose to use some “magic fingers” which is a 4 tine fingered grabber mechanics use to retrieve things from tight areas. After a couple of failed tries, I managed to get a good grab on it. Now the tricky part trying to work it up and out without it coming loose from my tool. After a few twists and turns, it was free and back on Rose’s finger. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Thanks to Lawn Work – Recovered
On October 28, 2025 I was contacted by David, who stated he had lost his wedding band in his back yard and asked if I was about to try to locate his ring. David provided me the details of the ring, time frame, etc.
Today, November 3, 2025 I met David at his house, he oriented me to the property then the hunt was on.
The yard was remarkably clean of metal junk, and the grass was short. After 40 or so targets, BAM! There it was. About 20 feet from the area he believed it to have been lost.
I snapped a photo, then returned the ring to David and his expression was priceless. Then to hear him exclaim “He found it!!” And the excitement from his family… it makes this worthwhile.

Wedding ring lost in car, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder
Christine called one evening around dinner with a little different kind of request. Her husband, Kevin, had lost his wedding ring in their car four months earlier. They had searched countless times without success, even pulling up sections of the carpet, thinking the ring might have slipped through one of the small openings. They had also asked a dealer to take a look during a service visit, but still no luck. Although the dealer suggested removing the seats, the cost was too high, so they decided against it.
Christine had been following NJ Ring Finder success stories and knew about the wide variety of items I had recovered. I assured her that I had an endoscope, which could reach into small spaces, and I was happy to take a look since it was a fairly common request. We arranged to meet, and when they arrived, I got to work.
After a short search, I began to wonder if the ring was still in the car. Kevin was absolutely certain it had bounced off the center console and fallen beside the seat, but sometimes memories can blur, especially after four months. Still, Kevin’s confidence reassured me, so I gathered more tools to remove the front seat. There was one spot where I thought I had spotted the ring with my endoscope but couldn’t reach it with the seat in place.
With the seat unbolted, Kevin helped me tip it on its side to avoid disconnecting the wires. Sure enough, tucked in the far corner of the seat’s sliding mechanism, there was Kevin’s ring, just as he had described. Using a small grabber tool, I carefully retrieved it, much to Christine and Kevin’s surprise. After four long months, the ring was finally found.
NJ Ring Finder, Edward Trapper was able to find/recover a lost item, after 4 long months, where no others were able to complete the task at hand.

Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Philadelphia, PA!!!
Mike found me in The Ring Finder directory and shot me a text message. Earlier in the day he was in the basement of a house on a job site in Philadelphia when he lost his wedding band. He was pretty sure he lost it went he took a fall while cleaning up and inspecting the basement of the 1800s old house. Most times I would say no to indoor jobs…metal detectors usually don’t do well inside houses. But Mike said it was mostly dirt down there where he was working…so I figured I would give it a shot. I brought my trusty Minelab Equinox 800 with a 6 inch coil for the job…I also brought a similar tungsten ring to the one that was lost. When i got there the first thing I did was calibrate my detector to pick up just the tungsten ring…then I adjusted the sensitivity and frequency so it was stable in the dirt basement. My machine had no problem picking up the ring I brought with me while in the basement. I knew if I went over it on the floor of the basement i was not going to miss it! 10 minutes into the search I got the signal I was hoping for…it was coming from a dirt pile on one side…with my ponpointer I located the signal within the pile…grabbed a fistful dirt…opened my palm…and there it was!!! Ring recovered and returned! Mike was surprised and extremely happy!

Wedding Ring Lost in Front Yard-Found
James contacted me and told me that his wife had lost her ring in the front yard. It was yellow gold with a solitaire. He said it had been lost for around two months and they had rented a metal detector with no luck. When I got there I asked all of the usual questions that I always do. She said they had been arguing and she threw the ring across the front yard, and where she had been standing. This is always a great help, because it gives me a better idea where to look. I started my grid search in the likely area, and had made two passes across the yard. About one forth of the way back across the yard on the third pass, I got a solid 19 on my Manticore. It was the ring, but after two months it was already completely covered and not visible. The actual search time was less that fifteen minutes.
