A family beach day in Sea Isle City nearly turned heartbreaking. When Kaitlyn lost a treasured family heirloom ring in the ocean while playing with her children. The ring, passed down from her grandmother, slipped off her finger in the surf. It quickly disappeared beneath the moving water during strong rip current conditions.
Knowing how valuable and sentimental the ring was, Kaitlyn immediately searched for help and contacted Ring Finders South Jersey. Within 20 minutes, professional ring recovery specialist John Favano arrived on the beach prepared for a difficult water recovery search.
Ocean recoveries are among the most challenging forms of metal detecting because waves, currents, shifting sand, and limited visibility can move jewelry quickly. Even experienced beachgoers often assume a ring lost in the surf is gone forever. However, with specialized equipment and systematic search methods, recoveries are still possible.
John carefully searched the area for nearly two hours, working through rough water conditions and expanding the search zone beyond where the ring originally slipped off. After Kaitlyn and her family left the beach, the search continued.

Then came the incredible news the ring had been recovered.
The family heirloom was located in waist-deep water after drifting from the original drop point in knee-deep surf. Persistence, experience, and understanding ocean movement patterns made the successful recovery possible.
Kaitlyn shared her experience and review afterward: “Can’t say enough positive things about Ring Finders South Jersey! I called when my ring slipped off my finger in the ocean while playing with my kids. My ring was a family heirloom from my grandmother and I couldn’t believe my horrible mistake of wearing it into the water. A friend gave me his number right after it happened and he came within 20 minutes after calling. I didn’t have high hopes for the outcome as the rip current was so strong that day, and I assumed it must have been pulled far away from where it dropped. He searched the entire area we were for about 2 hours… About 30 minutes after we left the beach I got the phone call that he FOUND THE RING! I could not believe it! He found it in about waist deep of water when it had dropped off my finger in about knee deep water. He was incredibly thorough in his search. I am so thankful I called him as I am sure I would have never recovered the ring.”
