Hoboken NJ, Wedding Ring Lost In The Snow, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)

Nicole sent me a text early in the morning explaining that she had lost a cherished family heirloom ring and hadn’t been able to find it. Understanding how important it was to her, I asked her to call me in about five minutes so we could discuss the details more easily over the phone.

She explained that a few days earlier, they’d had an early season snowstorm, and once the snow stopped, she and her family decided to take their dog for a walk at the local park. During the outing, somewhere along the way, the ring slipped off her finger. Nicole was heartbroken and desperate to find it, as it held significant sentimental value.

Nicole explained that the night the ring was lost, her family had been playing in the snow at the park. The dog was running around, and they were throwing snowballs. At one point, a snowball landed in her pocket, where her cell phone was. She reached in to grab the phone, pulling out a handful of snow in the process. Everything was wet, so she removed her glove to shake her hand dry, and that’s likely when the ring slipped.

When I arrived at the park, Nicole came down to meet me and walked me to the exact spot where she thought the ring had come off. She showed me her movements that night, explaining how she shook her hand, leading me to suspect the ring might have fallen to her right. I began searching a large area—10 feet in front, 10 feet behind, and about 25 to 30 feet to the sides of where she had stood—but I found nothing.

As time went on, I began to wonder if someone might have picked up the ring and not reported it. Nicole’s expression revealed her growing worry, and it was clear she was starting to lose hope. I asked her to go over the details one more time and show me the exact spot once again. This time, I caught onto something new: the possibility that the ring may have stayed inside her glove.

With this in mind, I focused on the opposite side of where we’d been searching and made two additional paths in the snow, similar to my earlier search area. And there it was—her beautiful family heirloom ring, just an inch beneath the snow.

Nicole was overwhelmed with relief and joy. She had nearly given up hope, but this moment proved that persistence and attention to detail make all the difference. Every small clue matters when it comes to recovering something so precious.

Wedding Ring Lost In the Snow, Monroe NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

Kinjal reached out to see if I could help locate her husband’s lost ring. We had just experienced an early season snowstorm that ended around 11 AM and her husband decided to shovel the driveway and clear off their cars before the temperatures dropped into the single digits, which would freeze everything solid. Unfortunately, he wasn’t wearing gloves, and with the ice-cold snow on his hands, the ring easily slipped off.

She explained that a neighbor had loaned them a pinpointer, but despite hours of searching, they had no luck. They had even ordered a metal detector, but it wasn’t going to arrive until the next day. After hearing the situation, I told her I could come right away and asked her to send over the address. I gave her my ETA after I loaded up my gear and was on the road.

I started searching along one side of the driveway, picking up several signals, but none turned out to be the ring. I then moved to the area by the mailbox but still had no luck. Finally, I focused on the other side of the driveway. Just a few feet in, I got a strong signal that seemed promising. Using my pinpointer, I cleared a bit of snow, and the device started beeping like crazy. I reached down, scooped up a handful of snow, and there it was—the ring right in the middle!

Kinjal and her husband were incredibly grateful. As always, it felt great to help them recover something with great sentimental meaning.

Lost Wedding Ring on the Beach, Beach Haven NJ, LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Maureen called to see if I could help find her husband’s wedding ring, which she had accidentally dropped in the sand earlier that day. They were visiting her mother and had decided to enjoy a warm afternoon at the beach and do a little fishing. Her husband had given her the ring to hold for safekeeping while he fished, but somehow it slipped from her hand into the soft, powdery sand. They had tried using their children’s sand toys to sift through the area, but with no luck.

Realizing they needed some extra help, they did a quick Google search, found my page, and called right away. I packed up my gear and headed over. When I arrived, they showed me the area where the ring had likely fallen and shared the details. With just a few swings of my metal detector, I picked up a promising signal, and sure enough—there was the ring in my scoop. They couldn’t believe how quickly it was recovered after spending hours searching. Sometimes, calling a professional right away is the best way to save time and make the most of the day!

CALL SURF CITY RING FINDER

Metal Detecting Service 714-944-0555

I received a call from Phill’s wife last night stating that he lost his late father’s Gold Ring while throwing a football to his Son. We agreed to me coming out this morning since it was dark and getting late.
I gridded the area with no luck so I went back to where I started and I got a nice low VDI double signal and I knew this had to be his ring. I had to use my pin-pointer in the dense grass to recover his ring.

Phill was elated to get his Ring back!

Women’s Engagement Ring Lost in Athens, Alabama… FOUND!

  • from Huntsville (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Christina McCree – Ring Finder/Metal Detectorist for northern Alabama and southern/middle Tennessee.  Call or text ASAP, anytime 24/7 at 610-504-6135.

On Friday (November 14, 2025) evening I received a call from Stacey stating a few days prior she had lost her engagement ring while walking down the back porch.  It was cold and she was trying to put on her ring while holding her son.  The ring caught on her fingernail and flew off.  She heard it hit some leaves in the yard.  It was at night, so it was dark out and she couldn’t tell exactly where it went.  We set up a search for the next morning.

I met Stacey around 9:30 Saturday morning in Athens, Alabama.  Stacey showed me exactly how it happened.  Her husband, Victor told me the ring is sterling silver.  I grabbed my Minelab Equinox 900 and started my search.  After a few minutes, a little further from the porch and behind a tarp, I saw Stacey’s ring on the ground!  Stacey and Victor were very happy and thankful to have it back.  Stacey told me that she had searched that area, but there were a lot of leaves, so I’m sure it was completely covered up when they were looking.

Thankful and blessed for another successful recovery!  Until the next one, please take care and God bless…

Find Engagement Ring with Metal Detector, Upper Freehold NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Early one morning, around 3 a.m., I noticed a text from Rachel. She was distraught, having lost her beautiful engagement ring during a visit to an orchard the day before. We agreed to meet early, before the orchard opened, to avoid the crowds.

I arrived at the orchard ahead of time and found the owner to request permission to search the areas where she’d been. He kindly gave the go-ahead, asking only that I drive carefully around the property. Rachel and I headed to the spot where she thought the ring might have fallen off, and I began the search.

After checking a few signals, none of which were her ring, I finally got a promising signal. Moving some corn out of the way, I uncovered her ring. Rachel was amazed that we’d found it and was so grateful she had reached out. Moments like this make the early starts and hard work worth it.

Wedding ring lost in car, Lavallette NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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.

Cell Phone Recovered In Park , Forked River NJ, Recovered By Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

NJ ring Finder

I received a call from Bill regarding a lost cell phone at one of the local parks. He had spent the day enjoying the outdoors, but when he returned home, he realized his phone was missing. As most people know, losing a cell phone can be a nightmare — not just because of the cost, but because of all the important information, photos, and contacts stored inside.

Bill reached out to me, hoping I could help since he wasn’t in the area and had important business to take care of. I told him I’d be happy to head over and take a look. When I arrived, I started my search in the general area where he had been sitting earlier in the day.

The grass was extremely tall due to the recent stretch of rainy weather, which had delayed mowing in the park. I began my search, knowing that a phone usually sits on top of the grass but can easily disappear in tall overgrowth. After about 25 minutes of careful searching, I received a strong signal — and there it was! The phone was completely hidden in the long grass.

Luckily, I recovered it before the park staff came through with the mowers. If they had cut the grass first, the phone would have been destroyed and all his data lost — much of which wasn’t backed up to the cloud.

Another great recovery and a perfect example of why it pays to make a quick call to Edward Trapper, the NJ Ring Finder.

North Wildwood NJ Lost Bracelet Found by Ring Finders South Jersey John Favano

Lost Gold Bracelet Found in North Wildwood Garden!

Kate was gardening in North Wildwood, NJ when something unfortunate happened — she lost her beloved gold bracelet. She searched the area carefully but had no luck finding it. Feeling frustrated and disappointed, she remembered hearing about the Ring Finders South Jersey.

That’s when she contacted me — her local North Wildwood ring finder.

I answered her call right away and asked a few key questions about where she thought she lost it. Kate explained she had been moving plants and spreading mulch when she noticed the bracelet was gone.

Luckily, I was nearby and told her I’d be there in 10 minutes. I grabbed my metal detector and headed over.

When I arrived, we walked around the yard. Kate pointed out a grassy area and the garden where she had been working. I began searching the grass first. After a few passes, the detector stayed silent. No signals there.

Then I moved to the garden bed where Kate had spent some of her time that morning. Almost instantly, my metal detector gave off the sound I had been listening for!

I carefully dug into the soil, pushing aside the fresh mulch. About five inches down, I spotted a glimmer of gold — the bracelet was found!

Kate was so relieved. She said, “Thank you for finding the bracelet, it is very special to me!” Hearing that made my day.

She explained that it must have slipped off while she was moving soil and plants. The bracelet had great sentimental value, and she thought it was gone forever. But thanks to the Ring Finders South Jersey and a fast response, she had it back in no time.

It was an awesome day in North Wildwood, NJ — one that ended with a happy reunion between Kate and her lost jewelry.
