How to find a Lost Ring in the Ocean, Ship Bottom NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Tom’s story is a perfect example of how a nearly devastating loss can turn into a moment of relief and joy. After enjoying time in the ocean with his daughter, losing his wedding ring to the surf seemed like a final blow—especially with the relentless waves making it disappear instantly. Tom’s quick thinking to post on Facebook led him to me, NJ Ring Finder. Tom called later that day and we spoke in depth to ensure I had the most precise details for a successful recovery.

Originally, I had planned to head out the same night, but with low tide not until late, we decided on a search for the following morning, almost 48 hours after the ring was lost. I arrived early, set up my search grid, and began working in the rough surf. The process was slow, and it was tough to get signals, but I kept at it. Tom sat nearby, watching quietly, probably doubting that the ring would ever be found after so long.

During the search, a young metal detector enthusiast approached with his mom, curious about my work. I shared that I was searching for Tom’s wedding ring and encouraged them to stick with the hobby. As I took a moment to review Tom’s photos again to make sure we were in the right area, I felt hopeful that we hadn’t missed anything. After making some adjustments, I returned to the water and, at last, got the signal I was waiting for.

In situations like these, it’s critical to dig carefully, as losing the ring deeper into the sand could make it impossible to find again. On my first scoop, I checked the hole—no signal remained. I could only hope the ring was in my scoop. When I saw that flash of yellow gold, I knew I’d found it. Tom’s wedding ring had survived nearly 48 hours in the ocean, and seeing the relief on his face when I handed it back was truly rewarding.

Lost my Car Keys on the beach, What should I do ?, Island Beach State Park, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Arlene’s day at Island Beach State Park with her family took a frustrating turn when they realized her car keys were missing. As they had spent part of the day digging a massive “moon crater” in the sand, searching for the keys in the fading light became impossible. With no luck finding them, the situation escalated into a stressful evening. They called for an Uber, only to be denied entry at the guard shawl. Leading them to reach out to the park police. Fortunately, the police were helpful, giving them a ride to the guard shack where they could catch a ride home to retrieve spare keys and eventually return to pick up their car.

Arlene called me the next day, hoping I could help her locate the missing keys. I assured her that car keys usually don’t bury themselves too deeply in the sand, so we had a good chance of success. I arrived early at the beach and began searching near a hole I found. When Arlene arrived, she explained that I was in the wrong spot—it was actually further down the beach. She pointed to a few possible locations, but with the beach looking completely different after a day, it was hard for her to pinpoint the exact spot.

We noticed another large area farther from the dune walkover, which seemed like a better candidate for where the moon crater had been. While Arlene reviewed some pictures, I continued my search. Soon, I got a strong signal, and sure enough, her keys were buried over a foot deep in the sand. When I handed them to her, she suddenly remembered that they had been in her pocket, not on the cooler as she originally thought. They must have fallen out when they were filling in the crater, but luckily, they weren’t buried at the bottom of the three-foot-deep hole. If that had been the case, my detector wouldn’t have been able to pick them up, and Arlene would have been stuck with the costly task of replacing the key fob.

In the end, I was thrilled to find the keys for her, especially after the ordeal she had gone through the night before. What started as a stressful situation turned into relief, and it all worked out.

Samantha called about her lost ring, which had slipped off and disappeared into the sand. I met her on the beach, and she pointed out the area where she thought it had fallen. I got right to work, and within 10 minutes, the ring was safely in my sand scoop, though Samantha didn’t know it yet.

As I continued scanning the area, a man came over, asking if I could help him find his lost phone. I told him I’d keep an eye out for it while I was working. During our conversation, I mentioned I was currently looking for a ring and described Samantha’s. I looked at him with a smile and said, “I bet it looks just like this,” before reaching into my scoop and pulling out the ring.

Samantha was completely caught off guard—she had no idea I had already found her ring. Her eyes widened in shock, and she almost fell over in disbelief. It was a great moment, and we all shared a good laugh afterward.

It was a perfect day for the beach, so Nicole and her friends decided to spend the afternoon soaking up the sun. At one point, Nicole took off her rings to apply sunblock, and her friend tucked them into her pocket for safekeeping. Somehow, in the hustle of the day, the rings slipped out and disappeared into the soft white sand of the Jersey Shore. When they realized the rings were missing, panic quickly set in. Like many in this situation, they started searching frantically through the sand but had no luck. That’s when they realized it was time to call in a professional with a metal detector.

After speaking with Nicole, we agreed I should come down immediately to start the search. Her friend met me at the dune walkover and explained what had happened as we made our way back to their spot. Once we arrived, I moved all their belongings aside and began the search. Just a few seconds into it, I heard the telltale sound, and soon enough, the rings were safely in my scoop.

Metal Detector LBI, lost ring on beach, Loveladies NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Jessica reached out to me about a special ring her husband, Brian, had lost earlier in the day while they were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. The ring had slipped off his thumb and disappeared into the sand. After searching for a while without success, Jessica decided to ask for my help. I requested that she call instead of texting, as it’s easier to communicate that way.

When Brian called, I immediately recognized his voice from a meeting about a year earlier when he needed help locating another item. I advised them to secure the area so that no one else would set up their chairs, ensuring I had a clear space to search.

Upon my arrival, Brian pointed out the spot where he thought the ring had fallen. I quickly got to work, and before long, the ring was in my sand scoop. It was back on Brian’s hand where it belonged, much to his excitement. The ring had a unique, one-of-a-kind design and was likely irreplaceable, making the recovery even more meaningful.

Just a day before, Rhett and Meredith were married. Family members from different corners of the country gathered to witness their beautiful ceremony.

Blake and her friend spent a day at the beach in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. Before applying sunscreen to her nephew, Blake removed her cherished class ring and placed it safely in her bag. Unfortunately, she later discovered that the ring had gone missing. In a panic, Blake’s mother, Alexa, contacted me for assistance in locating the lost gold class ring.

After gathering vital information from Alexa and speaking to Blake over the phone, we were able to pinpoint the areas where they had spent time on the beach – initially near the water and later further back in their chairs. Ready with these essential details, I embarked on my search utilizing my trusty metal detector.

 

As I meticulously followed a grid pattern from the water’s edge towards their second seating area, I took advantage of the low tide, which enabled me to search shallow waters. After approximately 30 minutes of diligent searching, my Excalibur detector emitted the distinctive growl for gold, leading me to finally uncover the lost class ring!

 

Alexa called Blake and delivered the delightful news of their keepsake’s recovery!
