Lost Wedding Ring Monroe Soccer Field NJ… Found!!

💍 Wedding Ring Recovered in Monroe, NJ! 💍 – Thank you to both John Favano & Ed Trapper for sending this one my way!!
At his child’s soccer practice in Monroe, a man was coaching from the center of the field while playing with his wedding ring—which was a little loose. At some point, the ring slipped off and disappeared into the grass.
Parents, kids, and even a metal detector were brought in to help, but after an extensive search, the ring remained lost.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. We arrived just as the sun was setting and quickly gridded the field to make the most of the remaining daylight. After about 20 minutes, the detector gave off a perfect signal—and sure enough, the missing wedding ring was back in hand.
💡 Pro Tip: Be careful with rings that don’t fit well—they can easily slip off and get lost. If you can, get your ring resized. Remember: if it’s loose in the summer, it will be even looser in the winter.
Another successful recovery and another happy family!

💍 Backyard Ring Recovery Success! 💍
Sometimes the smallest moments can cause the biggest panic. A man was tossing items off his patio onto the lawn when he suddenly noticed his ring was missing. The whole family joined the search—scanning the yard until their eyes grew fuzzy. They even broke out the kids’ metal detectors, but the ring was nowhere to be found.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. After about 20 minutes of searching, we were able to locate the missing wedding ring and reunite it with its owner.
🔍 Pro Tip: Some precious metals can be tricky to detect. Many of the kids’ metal detectors you find on Amazon simply aren’t powerful enough to pick them up. If you’re looking for a solid option for younger hobbyists that can find them, we recommend the Nokta Midi Hoard.
Another happy ending thanks to persistence, patience, and the right equipment.

Lost Ring Ideal Beach NJ… Found!!

💍 Sentimental Ring Recovered at Ideal Beach 💍 – Shout out to Ed Trapper for the lead!!
A young man was enjoying a game of football with friends at Ideal Beach in NJ when he slipped his ring into his pocket while playing quarterback. Later, when he went to put it back on, it was gone.
By the time Greenwood Detecting arrived, the beach was completely dark. With flashlights in hand, we began the search. After careful hunting, we recovered the missing ring—one with incredible sentimental value.
This was no ordinary ring. It had been smelted from the gold of his late grandfather’s jewelry and crafted into two rings—one for him and one for his brother. Being able to return such a meaningful piece was an honor and a reminder of why we do what we do.
🔦 Pro Tip: If you are hunting in the dark, always bring flashlights! They’re essential for seeing the search area clearly and for keeping safe by avoiding objects that could trip you up.
Another successful recovery, even in the dark. 🌙✨

💍 Ring Recovered at Sunrise Lake Beach Club! 💍 – Shout out to Ed Trapper for the lead!!
While enjoying a day at Sunrise Lake Beach Club, a man was playing catch in the water when he saw his ring fly off. Despite searching and searching, he couldn’t locate it in the sand below.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting was called in. After giving a brief moment of false hope—finding another lost ring in the area—we expanded the search grid and,
before long, recovered the correct ring and returned it to its owner.
⚒️ Pro Tip:
If a lost item isn’t where you expect it, expand your search area. You can grid the spot with horizontal or vertical rows, or spiral outward from the most likely point. Persistence pays off—if the ring is there, you’ll find it!
Another happy recovery at the beach. 🌊

Lost Wedding Ring Swartswood State Park Beach NJ… Found!

  • from Millburn (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:
Recently, Greenwood Detecting was called out to Swartswood State Park Beach in NJ after a man realized he had lost his ring while enjoying a day at the water. The ring had slipped off in waist-deep water and was nowhere to be seen.
Despite cloudy skies turning into a complete downpour, we stayed on the hunt—and after careful searching, we were able to successfully recover the ring and return it to its grateful owner!
🌊 Pro Tip: If you’re planning to detect in the water, take the time to master your pinpointing skills. In deeper, darker water, you won’t be able to see the target—so knowing precisely where your coil is in relation to the target is key to making fast and accurate recoveries.
Another successful return, rain or shine!

Lost Gold Medallion Wharton NJ… Found

🌟 Success Story: Lost Medallion Recovered! 🌟
 
At the end of July (yes, we’re behind on posting!), Greenwood Detecting had the privilege of helping a local homeowner recover a precious religious keepsake from his grandfather. While doing yard work, he felt his chain slip off. After searching the grass, he was able to locate one medallion—but the second one remained missing.
 
That’s when Greenwood Detecting stepped in. Within just 15 minutes on site, we were able to locate and recover the lost golden medallion, returning both pieces safely to their owner.
 
🔍 Pro Tip:
When dealing with a lost item, if you still have a matching piece (like the first medallion), we can use it to get a signal “read” on our detectors. This helps us identify exactly what to listen for and narrow down which signals are worth looking into—making the search faster and more accurate.
 
Another successful recovery, and another happy client! 💍✨

⚽💍 Tackled by love… and then by his son!
 
Got a text Sunday evening from a wife whose husband felt his wedding ring fly off the moment his son tackled him while watching a soccer match. 👀 One second it was on his hand, the next—it was somewhere on the field!
 
We met up about 30 minutes later, and after a short search (less than 10 minutes!), I had it back in his hand. 💪🧲 The same ring he was married with—gone and found before the sun even set.
 
Great way to wrap up the week: helping someone recover a piece of their story. 💛
 
Sometimes the biggest wins come from the smallest things we find.

Lost Ring Central Park NYC… Found!!

🌳💍 The Central Park Ring
Toss 💍🌳
⁣
Recently, a man in Central Park managed what we can
only describe as a one-in-a-million shot—and not in a
good way. 😅
⁣
While enjoying the day near the Conservatory Garden,
his ring was somehow launched (yes, launched) into
the bushes. But not just any bush—this ring stuck the
landing dead center in a shrub with a perfect circle of
shoots at its base. Think of it like a natural leafy
prison… and the ring was locked inside.
⁣
Enter Greenwood Detecting—and shoutout to Ed
Trapper for tipping us off about this mystery! 👏
⁣
Armed with a trusty detector and a pinpointer, we
carefully scanned, probed, and dodged some overly
enthusiastic squirrels. After a tense half hour and a
LOT of leafy rustling, there it was—the ring, perfectly
wedged in the center of its shoot-jail hideout.
⁣
🎯 Score one for the good guys.
✅ Ring recovered.
🌿 Shrub undisturbed.
🤯 Physics-defying ring toss? Still under investigation.
⁣
Whether it’s a backyard or the middle of Manhattan, if
your jewelry takes an unexpected detour, Greenwood
Detecting is here to bring it back.
