Highly recommend Ed if you ever lose a ring or any other piece of jewellery you care about! (2024)
I can’t say enough good things about Edward! He was kind, responsive and thorough and - most importantly - found my engagement ring!
I spent the morning at a pumpkin patch with my three kids and ended the day playing in a massive cornpit (filled with millions of corn kernels) for an hour. About an hour after I left I realized I didn’t have my engagement ring.
As I laid in bed at night thinking about the ring I found NJ Ring Finder and am so lucky I did! He responded immediately even late at night and agreed to come out first thing in the morning before the farm opened. Within 30 min he found the ring and it was amazing!
Thank you so much for finding a needle in a haystack and being so helpful and kind in the process! Highly recommend Ed if you ever lose a ring or any other piece of jewellery you care about!

I can’t say enough good things... (2024)
Wowwwww I can’t say enough good things, super fairly priced, down to earth, and worked relentlessly for an hour and a half to find my gold chain about 8-12 feet deep in an LBI inlet behind our rental house, thought it was as good as gone! My man found it, and the price was super fair in my opinion, a small up front fee for expenses and then whatever you feel is fair for the value of the recovered item!!! Can’t recommend them enough!

Great guy who is determined and looks forward to getting his clients a positive outcome. Very much appreciated! (2024)
I'm not one to post on social media, but I want to recognize and give credit where credit is due. I was in the water at Surf City Bay Beach and my wedding band fell off while playing with my kids. I was fairly certain it was a goner. I found Ed Trapper @ NJ Ring Finder through this page. He called immediately after I texted and met with us shortly after making contact.
Within an hour of getting in the water, he found the ring. Great guy who is determined and looks forward to getting his clients a positive outcome. Very much appreciated!

I highly recommend reaching out to Edward. His service is nothing short of miraculous! (2024)
I cannot express enough gratitude to Edward for his extraordinary ring-finding service! My family and I were at the beach when we lost a cherished ring. We spent hours scouring the sand, growing increasingly frustrated and worried that it was gone for good. Just when we were about to give up, we found Edward's service and decided to give it a try.
Edward arrived within an hour of our call, bringing both professionalism and a ray of hope. He was incredibly understanding and reassuring, which instantly put us at ease. Watching him work with his metal detector was impressive, and within a surprisingly short time, he located my ring buried in the sand.
Edward's swift and expert help turned a potential vacation disaster into a memorable story with a happy ending. He is not just a skilled professional but a true lifesaver. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Edward. His service is nothing short of miraculous!

I was so happy I found Ed. I first rented a metal detector ourselves and still could not find it... (2023)
I was so happy I found Ed. I first rented a metal detector ourselves and still could not find it. Three of us were searching in the grass with this ring for hours. I did not want to give up and decided to go online and search to rent a better metal detector and came across New Jersey Ring Finder. I placed a call and Ed was ready to come out within the hour. He searched for about 45 minutes and came up short and then finally we decided to search the area where we did not think it was and YAY. He found it.

Thank God for Ed! (2023)
I am so grateful to Ed Trapper from Ring Finders. My husband bought our son a caduceus ring for his graduation from medical school. My husband recently died so losing this ring in over 5 feet of ocean water crushed both my son and I. Thank God for Ed! He went into the ocean hours later and retrieved the ring. Ed brought back happiness to our family. XOXO

A master of his craft and an awesome guy! (2023)
Edward is the best! Not only did he come out and help me dig the first night – he offered to come back the following day and look again! He explained exactly what he was doing and walked me thru the whole process. A master of his craft and an awesome guy! Would never call anyone else again to locate my lost items.
