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

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

Kenny’s vacation at the Jersey Shore took an unexpected turn when he realized his wedding ring was missing after a great day at the beach. Despite searching around for a while, he came up empty-handed and reluctantly headed back to the house. But instead of accepting the loss, Kenny reached out to me for help.

I suggested he quickly retrace his steps while the location was still fresh in his mind and drop a pin on Google Maps to mark the spot where he thought the ring was lost. The ring was lost the prior day, so this was important as the landscape changes rapidly at the beach. When I arrived, we walked together to the location, and after marking the spot in the sand, I asked Kenny to show me any pictures he had from that day. One picture, in particular, stood out, helping me line up the exact area where he had been. Interestingly, it was a few feet off from where the pin was dropped, so I decided to start my search where both points intersected.

It didn’t take long before my metal detector picked up a strong signal. I dug into the sand, and there it was—Kenny’s wedding ring! His daughter stood by with wide eyes, amazed that we had found it so quickly. Neither of them really believed it would be possible.

When people ask how successful I am, I always tell them it depends on how well they remember where their item was lost. But in the end, if you get me in the correct spot, with a little help from my metal detector, no ring can truly hide.

Bracelet Lost in Lagoon, Point Pleasant Beach NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

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

Margaret reached out to me about recovering her bangle bracelet, which had slipped off her wrist while she was cleaning the windows on her boat. I told her I’d be able to help but needed a few details, including the water depth and photos of the dock area, the boat, and the exact spot where the bracelet had fallen. Once she sent the information, we set a day and time for the recovery.

Margaret couldn’t make it due to work, but her husband, John, met me at the boat. I searched the area thoroughly for about an hour and a half. There was one promising signal, but it turned out to be part of a crab trap. Since I was leaving for vacation the next day, I assured John I’d be back afterward to continue the search. I suggested we dive for the bracelet, which would make things simpler, and they agreed.

After my return, I met John at the boat with diving gear, ready to continue the search. In about 25 minutes, Margaret’s bracelet was recovered and brought safely out of the water. John couldn’t believe it and mentioned how thrilled Margaret would be to have her bracelet back.

Toronto Trifecta Amazing Winter Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

It was an awesome morning and one I will not forget anytime soon.

I got a call from a lady who had taken a slip in her driveway and didn’t realize until later that she had lost all three of her rings. By the time she noticed, they were already buried somewhere under snow and ice.I headed out for a first attempt but Mother Nature had other plans. The ground was frozen solid and the snowpack was thick, so after a thorough search we had to wait for better conditions.

A couple of days later, with warmer temperatures and most of the snow finally melted, I went back for round two. That is when the mystery was solved. The rings were not in the driveway at all. They had ended up in the neighbor’s garden, most likely shoveled there when the snow was cleared after her fall.

This recovery felt more like a gold rush than a ring search. I was chipping away at leftover ice with a hammer, feeling like a miner digging for gold. One by one, all three rings were located and recovered.

The relief and excitement on her face said it all. What started as a painful fall and a stressful loss turned into a happy ending and an unforgettable morning. Another great recovery and a reminder that sometimes patience and persistence make all the difference.

Engagement Ring Lost in Cheektowaga NY Found in the Snow Covered Tennis Court

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Alex contacted us after running out of options trying to find his wife’s lost engagement ring. To make things more interesting she had actually lost two rings. Alex was lucky enough to recover the wedding ring himself but the engagement ring was still missing and that one was not going to be easy to replace.

The rings were lost the evening before during a walk with the dogs that somehow turned into a game of fetch inside a snow covered tennis court. Because apparently tennis courts do not take the winter off they just change sports.

Between the dogs running full speed snow flying and a lot of movement the engagement ring quietly slipped off and disappeared into the snow. It was not until later that night that the missing ring was noticed and the panic set in.

I showed up the next day and was able to locate the engagement ring quickly before it decided to spend any more time chilling in its snowy hiding spot. The ring was returned to a very relieved and happy couple.

Another successful recovery a great story to tell and a friendly reminder that winter tennis and jewelry do not mix.

Lost Ring in the Yard – Found in Under 10 Minutes!

The other evening, Serée was out in her yard playing with her energetic puppy when the unexpected happened—her cherished ring slipped off and disappeared into the grass. At first, she thought it would be easy to spot. She raked through the grass, walked slowly barefoot hoping to feel it, and searched every inch of the area. She was even able to narrow it down to about a 10 x 10 foot section of her yard, but the ring was still nowhere to be found.

Frustrated but determined, Serée turned to the internet for help. That’s when she discovered TheRingFinders.com and reached out for assistance.

When I arrived, I grabbed my detector and got to work. With her narrowed search area, it only took about 10 minutes before the signal came through loud and clear—and there it was, hiding just beneath the grass. The look of relief on Serée’s face when I placed the ring back in her hand was priceless.

Stories like this are why I love being part of The Ring Finders network. Sometimes a ring may seem lost forever, but with the right tools and a little experience, it can be back where it belongs in no time.

I was contacted by Jennifer after being tagged multiple times on a social media post. Jennifer explained that her husband had taken a surfing lesson on his birthday on Queen St beach in Cape May. During the lesson, his necklace broke and he lost his late daughters memoriam charms in the surf. I chatted back and forth with Jennifer and gathered some specific details. Took a ride over and checked at low tide this morning around 6:30am. After about an hour of searching the surf I was able to recover the charms and reunite them with Phil and Jennifer. Another happy couple!

I received a message from Ken the other day. He explained that his wife was sitting with their daughter just at the edge of the water on the beach in Wildwood Crest . The pair were chatting about his wife, Shelly’s, ring which she had just had repaired and had taken it off to show to her daughter. While doing so, a larger wave rushed in and startled the pair causing the ring to be flung behind them towards the upper beach as they were facing the water when it happened. The ring landed in the shallow water and disappeared. Shelly was devastated, and the family searched for hours trying to locate the ring. Luckily, Ken, Shelly’s husband, did an excellent job noting the approximate location and took note of the time as the tide was moving in. We discussed the event a bit and decided to wait until the tide was heading back out so the water would be at a reasonable depth. I met the couple on the beach at just about dark around 9pm and began searching. About 15 minutes later I heard the signal I was searching for, 1 scoop later the ring was back on Shelly’s finger. She was elated to say the least! The couple informed me that Ken had proposed to Shelly over 40 years prior just a few blocks down beach. Another relieved & happy couple!
Kens and Shelly’s review of service:
“Jeffrey came at dusk walked into the ocean and went to work finding my wife’s engagement ring. 10 min later he saved our vacation and I can’t thank him enough. Thank you!”

I was tagged by several folks in a post on Cape May Live. The poster was asking for people to keep an eye out for her husband’s gold ring that slipped off in the surf. I messaged the couple and we chatted back and forth about what exactly happened and where. She was able to outline the specific area and time of day that the loss occurred. Timing wise, I felt that the best chances would be during the low tide cycle the following morning. I took the 5 minute ride for home yesterday morning and began searching. After about 1 hour or so I got the signal I was searching for and out popped the ring from thigh deep surf. The couple confirmed the inscribed date and picked up the ring yesterday afternoon. They both thought the ring was “gone forever” after 27 years of marriage. Another happy couple!
The Verners review of service:
“Jeff Laag is truly amazing! I don’t know how he did it, but he found my husband’s wedding band that was lost in knee deep water at the cape may beach. Don’t hesitate to look him up to find your lost jewelry!”

I received a message from Genevieve Sunday afternoon explaining that she had lost her wedding ring in the sand while at the beach with her family. She had placed her ring in the cupholder of her beach chair to apply sunscreen. Later, her husband folded and relocated their belongings as the tide was moving. He had no idea that his wifes ring was in the chair when he folded the chair and once folded the ring disappeared into the sand. After the couple realized what had happened they began frantically searching for the ring. Other beach goers saw them searching and pitched in to search as well, even one of the lifeguards lent a hand! After a while, the group came up empty handed. Thats when Genevieve reached out for help. Usually I dont travel to Brigantine on Sundays as Northbound traffic can be horrendous but I could tell that Genevieve was upset and really needed some help. I took the ride up and met with the couple on 31st street beach. After a brief discussion I began searching the areas outlined by her husband. About 45 minutes later I had her ring in the scoop. Genevieve explained that the ring was so special as it contained diamonds from her grandmothers wedding ring and was very special to the couple! The entire beach was thrilled to see the ring! Another happy couple!
Genevieves review of service:
“Your service was wonderful: you were calm, professional and reassuring. Of course, you found my ring. So the service speaks for itself – but your customer service was really perfection !”
