Approached by person on beach asking if I could assist in locating bracelet lost on beach.

This past week I and family enjoyed time away at the South Carolina coast.  Being obsessed with metal detecting I had started my day with an early AM surf walk in a northward direction.  I had be at it for little over  hours and was making my way back to the room to get out of the heat, eat and take a well deserved nap.

I was detecting on my way back and had a strong signal in front of a lady reading a book.  Dig the target finding a AirPod case which included the right ear piece. and totally packed with sand.  I had drawn her attention and she asked “anything good” ?  Showed her the AirPods and said “this is a first. Wonder if they will work?”.  She said they should as she had washed AirPods many ties in her husbands clothing and they never failed.

While speaking a gentleman approached and introduced himself.  He asked if I may have found what he described as a “Black bracelet”.  Told him I had not but would be glad to search if he knew the area it dropped.  He replied that he only knew it could have dropped between his umbrellas and the beach access which was 100 yards away.  He also did not remember the route he walked because he walked it many times.   I asked if he knew the type of metal of which he did not.   I asked his room number and explained I will be returning Sunday but would search and see if I could find.  I would return it to his room as he was only a few floors away withing the same facility.

I searched the immediate area and towards the beach access with negative results.  The time was approaching noon and the beach was very busy with Labor Day vacationers.

Fast forward to after 6:00 PM,   I was refreshed and on the beach again following dinner.  I grid searched the area starting where they had been set up earlier.  They had a large area with approximately a dozen umbrellas and a flagpole displaying the stars and stripes :).   After a tight search I located a black bracelet that I assumed was under a umbrella when dropped.

I went to the room number given and the gentleman answering the door did not look familiar and when I explained my presence he said thank you for looking but he and no one in his party had lost a bracelet.  Now the real search begins.

I only knew a middle aged gentleman was whom I was looking for.  I went to the beach next morning (day 2) looking for the Umbrella city with a US Flag and nothing in sight.  I went about my business remainder of the morning and did family stuffs until the evening at which time I again scanned the beach looking for the familiar umbrellas and US Flag, Nothing.

Slept in day 3 and after lunch walked to beach again searching for the Umbrella city and US Flag and spotted it.  It was restored in the same location when I originally spoke with them.  I approached and seeing no familiar faces asked the first lady that looked up “did someone with your group lose a bracelet a few days ago?”  She responded Oh My!  Yes.  and called to a gentleman 20 feet away.  When he responded by name I immediately recognized him and held up the bracelet asking,  “This look familiar?”  🙂  I thought he was going to fall trying to briskly walk to me.  He was ecstatic and said he didn’t think he would get it back.   We spoke for a short time and I learned he too was from North Carolina (Baden Lake).  I told him I found days earlier but couldn’t find him as I had noted a room number that was not his.   I also told him I had researched the bracelet and thanked him for supporting our veterans.  The Bracelet was made by a company named HERO and they provided proceeds to Military Veterans specifically to K9’s to serve as PTSD resources.

Below are photos of the bracelet and owner having returned it to where it should be.   Happy Labor day!

Find a ring in Mamaroneck! – Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!

Another Day, Another Miracle… and Three Ring Calls!
If you lost your jewelry, call me right now – 646-235-8797

This morning, just before 9 AM, my phone buzzed with a text from Sandra.

She said she had found my contact info online and that her husband had lost his wedding band the day before while running around outside with the kids at his brother’s house in Mamaroneck. The catch? They had already driven back home to Albany with their four kids, so making another trip down wasn’t exactly practical.

Almost as soon as Sandra’s text came in, I got another message from someone who had lost a ring too. Unfortunately, that one never panned out, but little did I know it was going to be one of those days.

A few minutes later, I found out Sandra’s sister-in-law and a family friend would be at the house after 1 PM and could give me access to the backyard. Sounded like a plan.

When I got there, I looked over the yard and started a grid search from the far left side. Nice and slow… straight out, back, over a little, straight out again. One lane at a time, just trying to cover as much ground as possible and hoping for that one good signal.

As I worked my way toward the middle of the yard, my detector suddenly gave me a really solid hit. You know when you hear one of those signals and think, “This might actually be it?”

I got down on my knees, grabbed the pinpointer, and almost immediately caught a little shine in the grass.

“I GOT IT!”

Yeah… I yelled.

Sandra’s sister-in-law and her friend came running outside, and they were just as excited as I was. The funny part was it wasn’t even their ring! But that’s one of the things I love about doing this. Everybody gets caught up in the moment.

I took my recovery pictures and started heading back to the Bronx feeling pretty good about the day.

Then, while I was driving home, I got a THIRD call for the day! This gentleman had lost a piece of jewelry at Rockaway Beach, and while we were talking about the search, he suddenly tells me…

“I found it!”

Turns out Alfonso found his own 24-karat gold bracelet while we were on the phone together. I can’t take any credit for that one, but I was happy for him anyway.

So today somehow turned into two happy endings. ?

Maybe today was National Lose Your Jewelry Day and nobody told us. ?

One family in Albany got a platinum wedding band back, Alfonso got his 24-karat gold bracelet back, and I got another reminder of why I enjoy being a Ring Finder so much.

You never know where the next call is coming from… or how the story is going to end.

Need a metal detector to find lost ring on Miami Beach

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Need a metal detecting service to find your lost jewelry, call / text Louis at (305) 608-1870. I’ve been metal detecting for almost 15 years and helping people recover their lost jewelry.

In the picture above this couple placed their wedding rings in a towel and when they went to dry off, the rings went flying but didn’t realize it until later.  Once rings hit the sand and you walk over it for a few minutes they dig themselves in a couple of inches under the sand and are almost impossible to find.  Luckily, they came across my number on the Internet and I was able to go out there and find both of them within minutes.  So if you’re in the same situation, whether it’s in the sand or in the water, give me a call

Sea Isle City NJ Lost Wedding Band Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

Lost a ring in Sea Isle City, NJ?

Don’t Wait!

John The Ring Finder

I got a call from Annie, the sister of a man named Jim. She sounded worried and emotional.

Jim had lost his white gold wedding band while swimming in the ocean at Sea Isle City, New Jersey.

A powerful wave hit him, and the ring slipped off his finger into the rough water.

Annie explained everything over the phone. The family was upset and hoping I could help recover the ring.

As Ring Finder John, I’ve recovered many rings along the Jersey Shore. This wasn’t my first Sea Isle search.

I met Jim and the family at the next low tide. The ocean was still rough and churning.

Jim showed me the area where the ring had likely fallen off. We hoped to find it quickly.

After hours of searching, I came up empty. No sign of the wedding band that day.

I returned the next low tide. Conditions were still difficult. Waves and shifting sands made recovery harder.

Again, no luck. But I wasn’t giving up on this lost ring in Sea Isle City just yet.

For the next few days, I watched tide charts closely and waited for calmer water conditions.

On the seventh day, I returned during low tide. The ocean had finally calmed a little.

While scanning the area, I got a deep, solid signal in the wet sand.

I dug carefully—and there it was! A beautiful white gold wedding band, shining in the sunlight.

After seven days underwater, I finally held it in my hand.

I called the family right away. Jim was thrilled beyond words when he saw his lost wedding ring.

He slipped it back on his finger, smiling with relief and joy. The whole family was grateful.

Recovering a lost ring in the ocean takes patience and persistence—but it’s always worth it.

This is why I love what I do as Ring Finder John.

If you’ve lost a ring in Sea Isle City or the Jersey Shore, don’t give up hope.

Ring missing for 6-months found! – Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin resident, Narciso was visiting with his girlfriend back in October 2024. When she stepped out for a walk with the dog it suddenly pulled on the leash and dislodged her precious ring in the grass. The couple looked and looked but the ring was nowhere to be seen. The weeks turned into months. Narciso even purchased a metal detector. Unfortunately, the area was loaded with metallic objects and leftover construction debris. It was now the end of April, 2025. Was the ring still there? Had a crow taken off with it? The couple had just about given up ever seeing it again. That’s when he found me on The Ring Finder’s directory of metal-detecting specialists and reached out.

I arrived early in the morning of April 26. Narciso led me to the area by the house where the ring had disappeared. I saw evidence of digging and of grass mashed down, evidence of Narciso’s search efforts. He explained how the machine he purchased made so much noise, he was not able to make sense of it. Perhaps I could ferret out the ring from all the din.

It didn’t take long to isolate the probable location. Amongst the cacophony of sounds and signals emitted by my detector, one signal in particular stood out. The conductivity numbers indicated a target in the deep grass that was consistent with a small gold ring. Having caught a glimpse of gold, I gave a pinpointing device to Narciso and let him enjoy the discovery and retrieval for himself. His smile tells the rest of the story.

Lost Ring in the Overland Park Snow

Check out the YouTube video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9epYUkycuk4

After a recent arctic blast, Ted cleaned the snow off a car in his driveway, then departed in his own car parked on the street.  Shortly after, he realized his wedding band was missing.  He contacted me and we braved the 15 degree temps looking for his ring.  No luck in the driveway but wouldn’t you know, right on the snow packed street, I swung over a strong signal.  He was fortunate the snowplow didn’t move it.  I am fortunate to have another happy (but cold) customer!

What a fun search, we got a call from a retired Fire Chief in Lewisville, Texas.  He was helping out with a community Fundraiser where they pushed 40,000 Yellow Duckies off the falls and each duck had a value, they raised over $200,000 but our Aggie while pushing the final Duckies off the falls his Aggie Ring flew off into the pond.
He was very distraught over loosing his ring and tried to rent a Metal Detector but not knowing how to use it was a challenge, he actually was talking to the Fire Department Rescue Scuba Divers about trying to find it for him when he found “The Ring Finders” and called us.

Ellen and I met him on Tuesday morning and found his ring, I love what we do….

This was an interesting recovery.  Somehow, her ring managed to fly off the third story balcony while doing her hair and land in the bushes below.  After all of us looking for a few hours, my detector located it almost 50 ft away!  We were all excited I was able to reunite them with her matching custom rings
