LOST A RING IN SEA ISLE CITY, NJ?

When Kaitlyn’s family heirloom ring slipped off her finger while playing in the surf in Sea Isle City, NJ, panic immediately set in. The sentimental ring, passed down from her grandmother, disappeared into the rough ocean water during a day with a strong rip current. Like many beachgoers, she feared the ring was gone forever beneath the waves of the Jersey Shore.

Thankfully, Kaitlyn contacted Ring Finders South Jersey and metal detector specialist John Favano responded within 20 minutes of the call. Quick response time is critical during ocean recoveries because tides, currents, and beach conditions can rapidly move jewelry farther away from the original drop location.

After gathering the exact details of where the ring was lost, John entered the water and began a careful grid search using professional underwater metal detecting equipment. Despite the heavy surf and challenging conditions, the search continued for nearly two hours. Even after Kaitlyn and her family had to leave the beach to get their children home, the search continued.

About 30 minutes later came the call every client hopes for — the ring had been FOUND.

The heirloom ring was recovered in waist-deep water, even though it originally slipped off in knee-deep surf. Ocean currents had already moved the ring significantly, which demonstrates why experience and persistence matter during water recoveries.

Kaitlyn later shared this review:

“Can’t say enough positive things about Ring Finders South Jersey! I called when my ring slipped off my finger in the ocean while playing with my kids. My ring was a family heirloom from my grandmother and I couldn’t believe my horrible mistake of wearing it into the water. A friend gave me his number right after it happened and he came within 20 minutes after calling. I didn’t have high hopes for the outcome as the rip current was so strong that day, and I assumed it must have been pulled far away from where it dropped. He searched the entire area we were for about 2 hours… About 30 minutes after we left the beach I got the phone call that he FOUND THE RING! I could not believe it! He found it in about waist deep of water when it had dropped off my finger in about knee deep water. He was incredibly thorough in his search. I am so thankful I called him as I am sure I would have never recovered the ring.”
