Received a call from Chris explaining that his gold ring that had been passed down from his grandfather had fallen off his finger while at the beach with family. Chris said that it was not a very expensive piece but held extreme sentimental value. Chris and his family frantically searched themselves, but to no avail. I made arrangements to meet up with Chris after his dining reservations last night. We met on Guerney St beach at just about dark, and Chris directed me to the general area where he and his family had been sitting. His ring was recovered a few minutes later, much to his relief.

Joanne reached out to our group page @The Ring Finders New Jersey after her husband lost his gold ring while setting up their beach cabana. I was also tagged multiple times on another local page. The BEST part of contacting our group page is that there is typically always someone available, no matter where you are located along the NJ coastline a member of our team is typically always available. Joannes message was sent out to me as I am literally 10 minutes from Cape May, The Wildwoods, Stone Harbor, & Avalon. I took the short ride over and met up with Joanne & her friends, after a brief search of their area I had her husbands ring in my scoop. Another happy client!

Tyler reached out explaining that he lost his wedding band while enjoying some family time on the beach. Tyler had placed his ring in the compartment of his beach chair while apllying sunscreen. Later in the day another family member began “packing up” to head home from the beach and folded the chair causing the ring to fall into the sand. While walking back from the beach Tyler realized what had happened and the group returned to where they were sitting and began searching for the ring with no success. They had charter boat reservations BUT Tyler and I communicated before he left for his reservation and he was able to send me the coordinates to where they were sitting. I normally do most of my assistance in Cape May County but I was available, and decided to take the 45 minute ride up to Brigantine. Once on the beach I followed my device to the coordinates that Tyler sent and recovered his ring in less than a minute. After recovering the ring I arranged an agreeable spot to leave the ring at Tylers rental and he had it back in his possession upon returning back from their charter. Another happy client!

Received a call from Amber. Amber explained that her husband lost his wedding ring while playing in the surf and getting “rolled” by a wave. Amber said she had someone else out to look for it and he could not locate the ring. After gathering details and checking tide and surf data I decided that Tuesday afternoons low tide would be a good time to try for the ring. Shortly after arriving at the beach I began a “meticulous” searh grid from the wet sand down into the surf. About 45 minutes later I had the ring in my scoop. The waves were pretty rough and I myself got “washed” a few times but still managed a successful recovery. Another happy couple!

A nearby good samaritan had lent Daniel a metal detector but they had no luck recovering the rings themselves. I gathered some details from Daniel in regards to location and he was also able to send me a dropped pin to get me as close to the area as possible. I arrived on the beach in CMP first thing this morning and began searching. I was able to recover both rings in about 25 minutes and return them to Daniel before he and his family left to return home. Nothing like ending thst vacation on a high note! Another happy couple!

Carlos explained that he was holding his sons gold chain and charm while at the beach on July 4th. At some point he unknowingly dropped the chain / charm and did not realize it until later. His wife reached out and explained the situation and that her husband was beside himself for loosing it. On July 5th I headed out to search the area using aerial pics and face time meetings to get me into the suspected search area as the family was out of the area. Searched for about 2hrs with no luck. Several weeks later I wanted to recheck the area since i was already at the beach with family and BINGO I had the chain in about 15-20 minutes of searching. I suspect that either the beach rake may have dragged the chain some or people were sitting on top of it when I searched the first time. Carlos and his wife were in disbelief when I told them that I had their heirloom chain. They were reunited with their item this morning. Another happy family! 7/29/2023

Luckily she came across my number thanks to Cape May Beach Patrol Lifeguards. At the time she called I was on the Wildwood boardwalk with family doing the whole rides / games thing, lol.

My family and I recently went on a trip to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. As a family we enjoy hiking in the woods and finding natural waterfalls / fresh water swimming holes. We hiked up to White Oak Canyon to do some exploring. Of course, the detector and gear is always in tow, lol. While at the canyon falls I was doing some snorkeling and diving and came upon a GoPro at the bottom of a pool beneath the falls. After returning home I pulled the SD card and reviewed the footage to see if I could figure out whom it belonged to. This footage included the moment it snapped off the end of the selfie stick and sank to the bottom of the pool, lol. After a little digging and close audio listening I was able to track down the owner thru a FB page. Spoke with the owner whom was shocked that I was able to find the GoPro and the owner. The GoPro is on its way back to the owner after 2+months at the bottom of the falls, and yes with a fresh battery the GoPro fired right up!! 7/15/2021

Well it goes without saying that you never know what kind of events may lead up to a ring getting lost. This story is no exception. On May 8th I was contacted by the best man of a wedding party. He explained that during the couples ceremony, at a bayside resort, he had accidentally dropped the brides ring onto the deck and it slipped thru the cracks and into the bay! At the time he had called I was headed out to dinner with my family for Mother’s Day and it was just about high tide. After receiving some pictures and descriptions of the area I knew this could be very challenging as the search area was located under a deck / pier that extended over the bulkhead and into the bay. I figured it would be best to wait until dead low tide as the area was in about 12-15’ of water at the moment. Around 12:30am I headed over with a friend whom was lending a hand and met up with the remaining members and guests of the wedding party. Luckily the staff at “The Reeds” in Stone Harbor NJ were awesome at helping to pinpoint the area and provide a floating dock to work from, kind of like Tom Sawyers raft, lol. They even went so far as to remove some of the mahogany decking in an attempt to locate the ring. Obviously the wedding party was devastated over this accident and all reasonable attempts were made to find the dropped ring. You could feel the obvious tension surrounding the events that unfolded and this just drove the determination to a positive outcome further! After making our way down to the dock we boarded the floating dock and paddled under the deck / pier to the approximate area. After checking for about 15-20 minutes I was able to recover the brand new never worn rose gold and diamond band!! Much to my and everyone’s relief! The ring was under some of the structural members in about 2’ of water amongst some horseshoe crabs. The bride, groom, best man and remaining members of the wedding party were ecstatic!! Another happy couple! Congratulations and here’s to a lifetime of happiness!! 5/18/2021

After gathering some details, I had both rings in the scoop in a matter of about 10 minutes. Relieved, Christy and her family can now enjoy the rest of their vacation!! 5/17/2021

I received a call from Nicole whom explained that she believes that her husband’s white gold ring may have come off while they were tossing a ball back and forth on the beach yesterday. I made arrangements to meet up with Nicole this morning. After the short ride over to Wildwood Crest I met up with Nicole and we walked down to where she thought they were when the ring was lost. Began a search grid pattern and after about 1/2 hour I got a solid signal. I was 98% certain it was the ring. At the same time, a gentleman taking a walk on the beach walked over to see what we were doing. He happened to have his phone out so I told him “you’ll want to record this”, which he did. The rest is self-explanatory. Another happy client. 9/15/2020

I was tagged in a post that someone put on a local Social Media page last Sunday. I reached out to Jill (the “poster”) and she called shortly thereafter. After speaking with Jill and her husband she explained that her husband’s ring came off while in the surf tossing a ball. I had Jill and Vin mark out the area on a picture and proceeded down to search for the ring with my buddy around 3:30am on Monday morning. We searched for three hours with no luck. I had a feeling that we may not be in the right area so I reached back out to Vin and he met me down at the beach yesterday to confirm the area in person. After meeting I estimated that we were off by at least 100yards from where we searched the other night. I needed to catch low tide for this search so I took a ride over this afternoon, family in tow, and began searching. The ring was recovered in about waist deep water 45 minutes later. ( I don’t think Jill and Vin actually thought I would find it) lol but they believe now! Another happy couple! 7/8/2020

Received a call for this recovery and was out of town on vacation but my buddy Dan Shustack whom sometimes helps me out on large searches was available. Passed the clients contact info and details along and Dan took the ride over to Wildwood and began searching. Once there he found several different people searching the exact same area heavily. Undeterred, Dan began searching and recovered the missing ring about an hour later, in darkness. Great job Dan Shustack, I think your hooked. 7/2/2020

Received a call from client’s wife explaining that her husband had lost his ring while in waist deep surf. Considering that it was about a half hour until low tide I figured now would be the best time to try. Cape May beaches are tricky as a lot of sand moves with each tide cycle and there is a pretty steep shore break which can make recoveries difficult. Took the short ride over and met up with the client. He directed me to the general area where he believed he was when the ring slipped off into the water. The client explained that the ring was fairly thick and believed it to be white gold. Waded out into the surf and about 20 minutes later the detector hit on a solid, loud signal. With a few scoops of sand, I had the ring in the scoop. Another happy client. Pictured is the client’s daughter holding the ring as I did not have my phone with me at the time. 6/24/2020

Received a call this afternoon for a lost men’s gold ring. The client explained that he “thought” he saw the ring slip off his finger while moving some of his belongings around. The client further explained that this ring originally belonged to his father. After taking the short ride over to Cape May and meeting up with the client I had the ring back on the client’s finger about two minutes later. 6/20/2020

Received a call regarding a men’s gold band that “flung” off while shaking out a blanket on the beach. The client explained that he and his wife were in town celebrating their one year anniversary. Took a short ride over and recovered the ring in a few minutes. 6/16/2020

Received a call yesterday late morning about a lost wedding ring set. Jess explained that she had taken her ring off and placed it in her wallet which was then placed in her beach bag. At some point during the day she thought one of her kids may have knocked it out of the purse while looking for money for the ice cream man, but neither she or her kids were sure. She had already returned home to PA before realizing that the ring was missing. Jess was able to provide some location details and given the time of day and it’s possible location I thought it would be best to try for it after the crowds had cleared. Took a ride over later in the afternoon and recovered the platinum diamond ring in about 20 minutes. Pending reuniting this weekend. 6/10/2020

First recovery of 2020 is a success. Received a call from Jackie explaining that she believes she “may” have inadvertently dropped her FOUR rings yesterday while at the beach with her family. After gathering some details I met up with Jackie and her husband, at the beach, about 30 minutes later. This recovery took less than five minutes. Literally walked two steps into the search area and BAM all four popped out of the shallow sand. Jackie broke down immediately, understandably, as one of the four rings belonged to her mother. No hugs due to COVID but super happy to say the least. She is very fortunate that these rings survived in the area they were in for an entire day without being found by a free lance Detectorist. 5/31/2020

Received a call from Jordan this evening. Jordan was in the process of proposing to his girlfriend on the beach when the engagement ring evidently fell out of the box unbeknownst to him. After gathering a few details, we setup a time to meet this evening and I headed over. I arrived before Jordan and his father so I decided to take a walk down to see if I could figure out where they may have been. Sure enough the tell tale signs were there so I began searching where I believed they may have been. After a brief 10 minute search I had the ring in my scoop! Here’s the video (it’s very dark) of me reuniting the ring with its owner. All recoveries are emotional for the clients, for many different reasons, and no two are ever the same, but sometimes there are the ones that really make providing this service warm your heart. This is one of them. Happy holidays everyone! 12/21/2019

Received a call from Dennis today explaining that he lost his platinum wedding band while at the beach with his family. Dennis wasn’t exactly sure when the ring came off but he did know where he had been thru out the day. Met up with Dennis this evening and located the ring next to the beach cabana where he had been with his family today in about 10 minutes. Another happy client! 9/3/2019

Received a message late last night regarding a lost class ring. The client was holding onto her daughters class ring while they were at the beach taking photos. The client had placed the ring on her pinky to hold it and inadvertently dropped it at some point as she began to carry more items. I met the client first thing this morning and after about 30-45 minutes she had the ring back in her possession. 8/5/2019

Received a call this morning from Adam for a lost wedding band. Adams wife had taken the ring off as it was getting “gunked” up with sand and sun screen while at the beach yesterday. After taking the ring off it was placed in a bag with some beach towels and other items. At some point the ring was inadvertently flung from the bag when another item was pulled out. Met the couple on the beach, they did a fantastic job of noting their location from yesterday, after about 15 minutes the ring was back on her finger. 8/5/2019

Received a call from Mike yesterday (7/2/19) afternoon. Mike had lost his wedding band in the surf a few days ago. Needed to wait for low tide which wasn’t until 3:30 am this morning, decided to go for the early am tide as the crowds for the afternoon low were going to be heavy. Took a ride over this morning and picked the ring in a few minutes. It was reunited with its (newly wed) owner this morning. 7/3/2019

Received a call from Travis after his wedding band dropped into the surf while attempting to secure it to his drawstring on his bathing suit. After gathering some information from Travis I decided to take the family to the beach where he lost the band since we were headed out to the beach anyways. Conducted a brief 20 minute hunt and recovered the ring in “about” knee deep water, much to the relief of Travis (I think he thought it couldn’t be done ) 6/30/2019

Received a call for a gold / diamond wedding band that was flung off a beach towel into the sand. After speaking with the client and conducting a brief hunt, the ring was back in the client’s possession. All smiles. 6/24/2019

Lost ring in Cape May, N.J. FOUND! Received a call from Adam this evening. He explained that his platinum band flew off his finger while he was brushing sand off his hands. Took the short ride from home down to the beach and met up with Adam. He had the ring back on his finger ten minutes later. 6/6/2019

Second beach recovery this evening. The client explained that at some point this evening she believed that she may have dropped her ring in the sand while at the beach with her brother whom was taking aerial photos of the sunset. The client realized the ring was gone while at dinner so the area it was Lost was potentially anywhere between her home, the beach, and the diner. After meeting up we took a ride down and the client approximated the search area. After 15-20 minutes the ring was back on the clients finger, much to her relief. 5/25/2019

First successful beach recovery of the season. Client lost her ring while tossing a football with friends. After gathering some info, I met up with the client and her friends this evening. 10 minutes later, the ring was in the scoop. 5/25/2019

First recovery of 2019 in the books. Client was tending to his bee hives when the bees suddenly decided, “not today”. A few bees began stinging the client on his ears causing him to swat at his ears resulting in his diamond stud earring getting knocked off from his ear. Initially found the earring back and a 1840 half dime, but given the size of the stud and other targets in proximity I opted for a new 6” narrow coil which concentrates the detector signal and helps to narrow down individual signals. Needless to say this new coil is the bees knees! 5/19/2019

Received a text this afternoon for a lost wedding band. The NEWLYWEDS were just married this past weekend, and the groom lost his band while swimming. Ring was lost in chest deep water in the early afternoon, so I decided to wait for late afternoon outgoing tide. Ring was recovered in approx 5 minutes. Boy they’re shiny when they’re new. Another happy client. 8/15/2018

The client indicated that she had dropped the ring “ at the waterline” around 4 pm earlier in the day. The client had already returned back to PA so this hunt was going off of area details the client was able to provide over the phone. After finishing up hunt #3 in Wildwood we road over to search for this ring. A brief 20 minute hunt, and the ring was in the scoop. Should be reunited with its owner tomorrow sometime. This was the end of a busy, late night. Recovery #4 for the day. 8/11/2018

While out to dinner with family last evening and received a phone call for an engagement band that was lost around 3:30pm. The client lost her band while tossing a football in knee deep water. After checking tide charts, figured it would be best to try for the ring about two hours before the next low tide which was at 2am. Met the client and her friends around 11:50pm and they directed us to the general area. After about two hour hunt, managed to pull the engagement ring around 2am, much to the soon to be brides delight. This was Recovery #3 for the day. 8/11/2018

Received a call for this lost men’s platinum band that was suspected of being dropped from a sunglass case earlier in the day. The high tide was unusually high due to it being a moon tide and at the time the ring was dropped, it was in “dry sand”. The moon tide quickly enveloped this area when it came up making for a spongy wet mess to hunt. The client and her friend had spent quite a bit of time attempting to find the ring themselves on their hands and knees digging. After about and hour hunt, the band was recovered at the edge of the normal high tide line indicating the ring had been moved by the aggressive tide cycle. This was Recovery #2 for the day. 8/11/2018

Received a text this morning for a lost men’s wedding band. The client took off his ring and handed it to his wife while he went for a swim last evening. She had placed the ring on her lap and an incoming wave caused her to jump up forgetting the ring was there. Took a ride over this morning and recovered he ring in 10-15 minutes. 8/10/2018

Received a call for a lost key fob along with a few other keys. Key fobs costing what they do these days, can be fairly expensive to replace. This was dropped at high tide yesterday. Recovered in approx 15 minutes. Btw, keys are usually tough to get back after they’ve been sitting as they are bulky and easily picked up by a beach rake, beach patron, or freelance Detectorist. Luckily for this client they were still in the area where she dropped them, which, ended up being under someone’s chair today. 8/9/2018

Quick, white gold / diamond band recovery this afternoon. Another sunscreen story. NOX800 8/3/2018

Brief hunt this afternoon yielded these two beautiful diamond rings. Lost in the sand after being dropped from a hat. Recovered in approx 10 minutes. NOX 800. 7/31/2018

Picked this chain and charm this afternoon for a client. Chain was flung accidentally after pulling a beach towel out of the beach bag. NOX picked it up in a short 15-minute hunt. 6/29/2018

Brief hunt this evening before heading out for dinner. Client lost this ring “at some point” yesterday. She believed it was either along the route she walked the dog, in the yard around her home, or possibly in a bag of trash. Bag of trash was the winner, much to the clients disbelief after she had searched the bag several times herself. 6/28/2018

Quick 15 minute recovery this afternoon. While tossing a football, the clients ring flew off into the sand. First recovery for the new NOX 800 detector. 6/20/2018

Recovered this Men’s Platinum wedding band after the client lost it yesterday while tossing a football with friends in the water. After a couple of hours hunting this morning, the ring was recovered from the sand. 6/22/2018

Kicking the season off with a successful recovery. Lost men’s Plat band, brief three minute hunt and it was back in the clients hand. 5/26/2018

Late season recovery........

Received an email from a newly wed bride regarding her husbands wedding band that was lost on their wedding day on October 8th around 10:30 pm. The groom strolled down to the surf and took an ankle deep walk in the water placing his hands in the water several times. It wasn't until he walked back up to the reception hall that he realized his wedding band was gone. Finally got some time this evening and decent conditions to head down and take a look. After about an hour and a half of searching out came the ring. It spent the past few weeks being blessed by the ocean. Reuniting the band with the couple this weekend. 10/25/2017

While camping with the family last weekend I received a call regarding three lost wedding rings around 8pm. Fortunately, we were camping locally so I swung home to grab some equipment and met the clients husband on the beach. After gathering some information I was able to recover all three of the missing rings approx 20 minutes after arriving. Another happy couple! 9/17/2017

Received a call this morning for a lost gold chain with opal /gold setting. This item has significant sentimental value as it was given to the client by her father when she was 16 years old. It was suspected to have been dropped out of a bag sometime yesterday. Necklace was recovered after a brief search, much to the delight of the client and her family. 9/17/17

Had a successful recovery this afternoon. This MIT class ring was dropped yesterday afternoon. Recovered it today after about an hour a half search in chest deep, low tide water. Thanks to fellow ring finder Dave Milstead for the referral! 8/24/17

Was tagged in a FB group post about this ring that was lost on Tuesday afternoon. After making contact with the client & obtaining additional details, a buddy and I headed down to the area last night. (Been promising to take him on a recovery for some time now, lol) After discussing a basic strategy we began searching. About an hour or so later my buddy says "I got a ring". After taking a look, sure enough that was the one we were searching for. Reunited with its owner this morning. Great find DAN! 8/24/17

Quick pick return this afternoon for an Avalon beach tagger who lost her gold/ emerald/ diamond ring. Thanks to Ed Cropski for the referral! 8/11/17

Mark had lost his white gold band after it slipped out of his cup holder on his beach chair while rinsing it off at the end of the day Tuesday. On Thursday the client and a couple friends rented a detector to attempt to locate the ring themselves. Having no luck on their own, they chose to reach out for assistance. After speaking with Mark I took the short ride up to Ocean City and met with the group. Searched for about an hour and a half with no luck, shortly after everyone had left the beach I ended up snagging the band in the bottom of a ripple trough pool. Another happy couple. 8/10/17

This recovery also took place this evening in Ocean City. Took longer to walk onto the beach than it did to find the ring. The client was ecstatic as was her husband. Thanks to Chris Belles for the referral! 8/8/17

This recovery took place in Sea Isle City this evening. Took about 15 minutes and I had the men's gold band in my scoop! 8/8/17

Here's a story on a ring I recovered on Thursday night in Manasquan NJ, including the orig post pleading for assistance. I was able to recover the wedding band and another gentleman was able to get the engagement band early this morning. I wasn't able to post about it until the second ring was found because, as you can see, the "lost / missing" post was shared over 12k times, YES 12k times, and client confidentiality is important aspect of what we do! Not that both have been found and reunited with their owner, here's the complete post. Special shout out to Ed Cropski as well, he too spent over four hours searching for the engagement band as well. This "replenished" beach had CRAZY sand movement and was bringing in and dumping FEET of sand with every tide cycle which was the biggest factor, I believe, affecting successful recovery.

Went out to assist a client with a ring recovery this past week approx 2hrs from home. More on the ring recovery later.... Anyway, while searching I came across this Apple Watch. Didn't really think it would fair well as it appeared that it had been in the surf for quite sometime. The next day my 7 yr old was looking at the watch and a clock popped up with a little lighting bolt. Luckily a family member had a charger for the watch so I charged it and it sprung back to FULL FUNCTIONAL life!! I was able to locate a contact "Dad" in the address book and gave him a call. "Dad" seemed fairly optimistic when I called, and then said "yes my son lost that while surfing a few weeks ago". The watch will be in the mail on its way back to its owner Monday morning. Never know what's gonna pop up during a hunt folks!

Thank you Chuck for your service (US Army Retired) 8/5/17

Received a call yesterday afternoon for a lost class ring. The client was very helpful at noting landmarks and tide position. Met the client there this afternoon and was able to recover the ring from waist deep, moderately angry surf. 6/6/17

Received a call this morning for a lost gold wedding band that was dropped in the surf yesterday afternoon. After about an hour long hunt I was able to recover the 16 yr old band. Client, as well as his wife, was thrilled to have his band back on his finger! 6/3/17

Was tagged in a FB post yesterday afternoon regarding a wedding band that was lost on the beach. After returning home this afternoon from a week long vacation I spoke with the client regarding the details and suspected area the ring was dropped. Took the new Whites 300id out for its first recovery as my go to unit is out for some repairs and was able to recover the ring in knee deep, low tide, water. 6/2/17

Received a call last night for a lost gold chain. It was obvious that this piece had extreme sentimental value attached to it. Met with the client first thing this morning and headed onto the beach where he had been setup the previous day. After about 15 minutes and about 3 passes I picked up the signal I was looking for. Client was very happy and I was very happy to be able to reunite him with his missing chain. 6/18/17

Received a call this morning for a lost wedding ring set. The rings were dropped sometime yesterday and after the owner and her family searched yesterday they came up empty handed. So took the ride over this morning and met up with the owner and after about an hour or so searching out popped two gold beauties! 6/15/17

Quick recovery this evening. Ring was dropped this afternoon around high tide off a dock, had to wait for the evening low. After about 20 minutes of poking around the stinking black muck bottom, was able to recover this beauty. 6/3/17

Received a call this afternoon for assistance recovering a wedding band that was lost in a wooded back yard during a New Years Eve gathering. Took a ride to the clients house and after a brief tour of the suspected area where it was believed to have been dropped, I was able to locate the band in about 15 minutes. 1/1/17

Received a call this evening around 9pm for a engagement ring that was lost in the surf around 3:30pm this afternoon. After a brief conversation and a check of the tide tables and radar I decided that this evening would be the best shot considering the rings potential location, crazy strong current on this particular beach, and the fact that I had to travel out of town for most of the day tomorrow. Met up with the caller and her friends and headed down towards the water. Of course as soon as we began making our way down the beach a squall blew in, lol. Began searching the wet sand near the water and then began making my way into the surf. After about 15 minutes I got a nice deep signal and out came this beautiful platinum / diamond engagement ring. These folks may have been the most excited group I have ever come across to date. All in all, the drive over took longer than the recovery, about 15 minutes to get it in the scoop. Another happy client! 8/15/16

Received a call today for a lost, white gold men's wedding band at a local campground lake. Took a ride up to Big Timber Lake campground and met up with the client. His ring came off while he was sliding down an inflatable slide in approx 6.5ft of water at the campgrounds lake. After about an hour the ring was back on the newly weds finger. It was located just next to an anchor point at the bottom of the slide. 7/23/16

Quick recovery this evening. 4 Rings total, 1 White gold birthstone ring, 2 Platinum engagement / wedding bands, 1 Silver ring. They were on the beach 2+ days. Recovered to the relief of the bride. 7/20/16

Out camping at a local campground with the family this weekend and just happened to get a call for a lost wedding ring at the very same campground that we are staying at. After a brief search, recovered the diamond and white gold ring. 6/18/16

Well, considering the weather today I was not expecting a call for a recovery. But, low and behold right around 5 I received a call for a lost Platinum / Diamond wedding ring. So I drove over in the rain and met the party in about 15 minutes after receiving the call. The group directed me to the area where they believed the ring may have been dropped. So after turning on my Excal I began searching the area and recovered one bottle cap and the second signal out popped this beauty. All in all, actual search time was about three minutes. 9/12/15

Received a call from a gentleman (Chris) the other day. He said that he lost his wedding band after taking it off to apply sunscreen and left it in the cup holder pocket on the beach chair. He didn't realize that it was still in the pocket until he was back to his hotel room, then realizing that it must have dropped out after folding the chair. This band had some family history since it contained diamonds from his mother in laws ring, so he was anxious to get it back ASAP. Luckily he got my contact info from beach patrol HQ. I met Chris at the beach about 15-20 minutes after getting the call and recovered the ring in about 5 minutes. Happy camper! 9/3/15

Received a call for a lost engagement & wedding ring (fused together) yesterday. After gathering some details from the caller it was learned that the ring was most likely already underwater since the caller believed that it was in the wet sand and lost near low tide, (or so we thought). So we decided that this afternoons low tide would be a good time to shoot for it. I arrived about 2 hrs before dead low tide and hunted a large area (approx 50 X 50 yards)for about 2 hrs, in the wet, with no luck. The client was not entirely sure when she dropped the ring but thought it was in the wet sand. So the day was getting late and the dry sand was finally beginning to clear off from beach goers and even the client was loosing hope fast. I still had plenty of daylight left so when the client approached me to tell me that she was leaving to meet with family I decided to hunt the dry area now that it was vacant. The client literally made it to the end of the beach access ramp and BINGO, snagged it! Another happy reunion and satisfied client. 8/19/15

Recovered this beauty for a gentleman who lost it yesterday while playing in the surf with his children. It was recovered from about chest deep (5ft) of water at low tide. Men’s white gold and diamond ring. The owner had this ring for over 30 years and was thrilled to get it back! 8/13/15

Quick trip out to Sea Isle this evening to recover a lost men’s wedding ring. It was recovered in about 20 minutes. Another happy camper! 7/25/15

Pulled this beauty from the dry sand in approx 10 minutes, to the utter relief of the bride to be! 7/23/15

So here is ring number 2 for today. I am very happy this worked out for this couple the way that it did. Special thanks to the beach patron "Jamie" whom advised me of the missing ring and the couples contact info. Custom sterling silver with great sentimental value. 7/20/15

This gentleman lost his wedding band (yellow/white gold) and glasses yesterday after a wave took him out. I took a spin down yesterday to see the general area and decided that it would be best to try for it during this afternoons low tide. After about an hr and a half I managed to snag it for him, another happy client! After picking this ring up I went for a walk along the beach since the tide was at a good spot and was flagged down by a gentleman who said that a couple had lost their wedding band in an area I was about to go into, got that one in about 5 minutes, luckily he had the couples information, I'll post some pics after its reunited with its owners tonight! 2 birds one stone kinda day! 7/20/15

Received a call for a lost wedding band today, recovered in 10 minutes. 7/18/15

Quick recovery this morning, "mothers memory ring" which had EXTREME emotional and sentimental value to the owner. I am so happy to have been able to reunite this ring with its owner. Literally was a five minute recovery. (SEE Review on left) White gold, birth stones, diamond ring. 10/5/14

Recovered this HUGE Silver Sapphire / Topaz pendant with a silver chain for a gentleman today. Story goes, His late night 2AM swimming adventure was cut short by PD. As he was being ushered off of the beach he didn’t realize that he left his Jewelry behind in the sand. He had returned last night and frantically searched the area after he realized that he had left it behind, but could not locate it. This piece had huge sentimental value as he created and made this piece himself and had a few interested buyers for it. Lucky for him another detectorist didnt grab this one before it was recovered as it was in the prime detecting zone. There were indications of another detectorist had been in the area, but if ya miss by an inch ya miss by a mile........... 9/21/14

This particular recovery had an interesting story as to how it came to be lost. I received a call while out to dinner with the family. The female caller stated that she had lost her engagement ring and needed some assistance to locate it. There was a very odd persona thruout this conversation, regardless, I gathered the location info, swung home to get the detectors, and headed over to meet up. I met the caller on the promenad and she stated that while walking down the promenad together her fiancé had disclosed some "information" thus causing the soon to be bride to take off her engagement ring and throw it overhand into a dune. Apparently this ring was a family heirloom and once the "female hysteria" wore off she realized what she had just done. Anyway, she had pointed me to the "general" area where she thought it may be and I set off into the dune. This dune was covered in a mixture of weeds and dune grass about 3ft high with plenty of creepy crawlies. It was fairly dense veg, so traditional search patterns and techniques were not going to work here. She had "narrowed" the area down to approx. an area measuring 40 x 20 yards. Figured out a pattern that worked and pressed on. After about 45 min we had about 10 other people that had seen what was happening and joined in to "help". They were using cell phones as flashlights which I found entertaining, but hey, help is help. So after about 2 hrs the novelty of the search wore off and I found myself alone searching thru the dune (which I prefer anyway). The caller had even got bored and left me her number in case I found it. I explained that sometimes these things take a while but I would keep at it. She said, well you dont have to it may be gone forever, So after about another 20 minutes of hunting I finally got the signal i was searching for and sure enough, out pops the white gold and diamond ring. The young lady's fiancé picked it up the next day as they had already drove back home after leaving the night before. Not sure how they ended up personally, but at least the family ring was back to its owners.......

Well todays recovery was my toughest yet. This ring was lost over three weeks ago and I recovered it today in chest deep water. This particular Cape May Point beach has a very steep slope and it is VERY rough during low tide. At high tide it is bad due to the sudden shallow water that causes the waves to come in like bombs. I have worked this beach at least 18 hrs total over the past few weeks trying to find this ring. So today I decided to take the family there with the hopes of searching during the "Mid tide" change and it paid off. The owner has been notified and was overjoyed as this particular 14k diamond ring was a gift from his mother for his 60th birthday. Persistence paid off in this particular situation! 9/5/14
