The Ring Finders of Maine is hoping that the power of social media can help us reunite a lost wedding ring with its rightful owner.

I recently found this wedding ring at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk Maine, and I want to get it back to the person who has been missing it.

I have already contacted the Kennebunk Police Department, but they do not have any reports filed for the lost wedding ring I found.

🚨 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇! 😱👇 (𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬!)
(Click the photos below to see the exact moment the miracle unfolded!)

Gary Hill and I were driving home from West Bethel Maine, feeling a bit let down. We had just spent hours searching the Androscoggin River for a lost engagement ring, but unfortunately, we came up empty-handed.

Just as we were processing the tough search, my phone rang.

On the other end was Ellen. 📞

As a loyal follower of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞, Ellen knew exactly who to call when disaster struck! She was calling from 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡, in Kennebunkport Maine and she was in a panic. She was there with her family, and her son-in-law, Vincent, had just lost his wedding ring in the ocean.

Ellen explained that Vincent had walked down to the water line to wash his hands. As the water swirled around him, the unthinkable happened—his wedding ring slipped right off his finger and vanished into the shallow surf. 🌊

The family scrambled. A frantic search ensued.

But as we all know, once a ring disappears into the moving surf and shifting sand, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than finding it with the naked eye. The rolling ocean hides secrets fast. ⚡

But then, Vincent did something incredible.

Instead of panicking and pacing around, 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦🧠✨

He looked around, grabbed a large stick, and jammed it into the ocean floor—exactly where he was standing when the ring came off.

A brilliant, textbook move! 📍

I told Ellen we were just over an hour away from 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 in Kennebunkport Mainet. Without hesitation, Gary and I made a quick decision. 🗺️🏎️

We completely skipped our original plan of heading home. We pointed 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 toward Kennebunkport Maine, told her we'd be there ASAP, and stepped on the gas.

When a ring is lost in the ocean, every single minute counts before the tide changes and swallows it forever! ⏰🌊

When Gary and I arrived in Kennebunkport, we were promptly met by Vincent up at the house. He walked us down to the beach where his wife, mother-in-law, and the rest of the family were still trying their best to enjoy the day despite the stress. 🏖️

As we stepped onto the sand, the first thing I noticed was that the tide had receded way out.

And there, standing completely exposed, was that large stick—shooting straight up toward the sky! 🪵✨

It marked the exact spot where Vincent had been standing in the water when his ring came off.

OUTSTANDING!!! 👏👏👏

Because the tide went out, what was once a search in the rolling surf was now sitting on dry, damp sand. Vincent's brilliant move just turned a needle-in-a-haystack ocean search into a highly target-rich environment. 🎯

Gary fired up his 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐛 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 and immediately started grid searching the north side of the pole. 🦾⚡

Thinking this was going to be a super quick recovery, I decided to lay low. I pulled out my phone, hoping to capture Gary on video making the ultimate save for the family. 📱🎥

But the ocean sand always has a way of keeping you humble.
After five minutes of intensive sweeping on the north side... absolutely nothing. No ring. 🛑

I knew we couldn't keep Vincent and his family in limbo any longer. I looked at Gary and told him I was jumping in. I would start grid searching the southern side of the stick, while Gary continued his grid search on the northern side. 🔍🏖️

Another five minutes passed as Gary and I grid searched our way around the stick.

Suddenly, my detector hit a target. I received a very loud, low tone. I immediately knew that beautiful sound—it was the unmistakable signal of gold! 🎶👑

I quickly alerted Vincent and Gary of the budding development. Wanting to make sure we captured the magic on camera, I asked Gary to dig it up so I could film it. Vincent also pulled out his phone, filming the recovery alongside me. 📱🎥

On Gary’s second scoop of sand, the ocean finally gave up its treasure. I saw the ring tumble right out of the wet sand.
"I see it! Don't touch it! There it is right there!" I exclaimed. 😮✨
(𝑀𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒, 𝑐𝑟𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙-𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑!) 👇📸

Vincent came right over, a massive smile lighting up his face.
"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭," he said. And then, once again, "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭,"

Wow. Hearing it twice like that had Gary and me not only smiling, but actually blushing! 😊

The rest of the family quickly came down to witness the moment as Vincent picked his ring out of the sand. Pure happiness, bright smiles, and joyful laughter immediately took over the beach.

As we stood there celebrating, Vincent’s wife, Samantha (Sam), shared something with us that gave me actual goosebumps down the back of my neck. 🥶✨

She told us that she and Vincent had only been married for six months, and his ring was still a little bit loose. But here is the incredible part: after Vincent lost his wedding band in the water, Sam found a random rubber ring sitting up on the beach.

She took it as a direct sign from her late father—a message sent from above to tell her that everything would be completely fine and that he was watching over them. ❤️🕊️

This actually isn't the first time this summer that a father watching from above sent a clear sign right before a husband's wedding ring was found.

👇𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰: 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞? 𝐈 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨. 🙏✨

Sam also shared that Goose Rocks Beach is a massive part of their lives. In fact, the exact spot where the family sets up their beach camp is the very same spot where Vincent proposed to Sam, and she said "YES!" 💍❤️
It is absolutely incredible how much of their life together has already unfolded right there on that exact patch of sand.
With another ring safely back on the finger where it belongs, Gary and I walked off the beach, once again feeling deeply proud that we could help someone and put smiles back on everyone's faces. 🌅👣

Later that evening, my phone lit up with a text from Vincent:
"𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒖𝒚𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉! 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒖𝒚𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕! -𝑽𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒚 & 𝑺𝒂𝒎" 📲🙏

Gary and I truly have the best job in the world, and we love every single second of it.

💍🌊 The Tide Was Going Out… and So Was the Ring!

A gold wedding ring was lost in the ocean at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. The Ring Finders of Maine got the call and headed to the beach to begin the search.

The tide had reversed and was now receding, meaning the clock was ticking. As the water pulled back, we worked the area, searching through the shifting sand for that precious ring.

Then… BOOM! We got the signal. 🎯

A few seconds later, the gold wedding ring was back in our hands! 💍

There’s nothing better than recovering a wedding ring that means so much to someone—especially when it’s being moved by the ocean and the tide is working against you.

FROM A DARTMOUTH COLLEGE CLASSROOM TO THE SANDS OF GOOSE ROCKS BEACH: THE JOURNEY OF A HANDMADE RING! 🟢

💍While attending Dartmouth College, Rhys took a jewelry-making class and spent hours hand-crafting a heavy, chunky sterling silver ring, detailed with a circle of vibrant green gemstones. From campus, the ring traveled home with him to California, and finally, to Maine for a family vacation at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport Maine.

Two days ago, Rhys was relaxing on his beach blanket when he started fidgeting with his ring. Suddenly... it vanished into the sand. 🏖️❌

Immediately, Rhys and several helpful beachgoers jumped into action, frantically searching the area. But after hours of brushing through the sand, the ring remained elusive.

That night, Rhys cooked up a brand-new strategy. The next morning, he returned to the exact spot armed with an essential kitchen tool: a colander! 🍝 Rhys spent a full, exhausting day scooping up heavy beach sand and sifting it out, hoping his handmade masterpiece would appear. Total result? Still missing.

By the next morning, Rhys was right back at it. His pile of sifted sand was getting massive, but by Day 2, the ring was still gone. Being from California, Rhys and his family had no idea a service like ours existed. Thankfully, a friend heard about his predicament and told Rhys he needed to drop the kitchen strainer and call me immediately! 📞💥

When Rhys reached out, I was actually down in York Beach, Maine finishing up a search at Short Sands Beach. I let him know I'd be on my way just as soon as I wrapped things up. True to my word, within an hour of his call, I was heading north to Kennebunkport Maine! 🚗💨

Once I arrived at Goose Rocks Beach, parking was a nightmare as usual. But the beach gods were smiling, and I managed to snag a spot just a short walk from where Rhys and his missing ring were. Gear in hand, I made my way onto the sand where I was met by Rhys and his father, Brad.

They immediately took me to the location. I knew it had to be the correct spot because I saw the kitchen colander resting right next to a beach blanket. Rhys had smartly covered the suspected area with the blanket so no one would accidentally disturb the sand. Brilliant thinking! 🧠💡

I set my boundary guidelines with Rhys, fired up the detector, and the search officially began. With a completely clear grid and no obstacles, it didn't take long. In fact, within just 90 seconds, my machine screamed with a crisp, low-high tone. A possible silver ring?

As I ran my coil back over the area, I saw the undeniable outline of a ring in the sand. I reached down, plucked it out, and held it up!

🎉 "WOW!!!" "OH MY GOD!!!" 🎉

The beach erupted with cheering and clapping! Brad had his camera rolling to catch the whole thing. I heard Rhys say, "That went far!"

Amazingly, what two days of visual searching and kitchen colander sifting couldn't locate, my metal detector found in under a minute and a half. The ring was actually hiding 8 to 10 feet away from where they thought they lost it! 🔍🤯

Did the ring get moved while they were searching? This is exactly why we tell clients not to disturb the area. When you think about it, if they had kept sifting, the ring could have easily ended up trapped directly under his giant pile of discarded sand—buried way too deep for a detector to find.

After the hugs, handshakes, and goodbyes, I wished Rhys a great year at school. With a huge smile on his face and his custom ring securely back on his finger, he replied, "I will now." 🥹🟢

I have the best job in the world. I love my job! It's always a great day when we can put "another ring back on the finger."

Remember: "If it matters to you, it matters to us." ❤️💍

Watch closely as we scan the sand at 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 in Kennebunkport Maine for an irreplaceable piece of personal history!

Rhys goes to Dartmouth College, where he took a jewelry-making class and hand-crafted a heavy, chunky sterling silver ring. He lined it with green gemstones to proudly represent his school colors. The ring traveled home with him to California, and then all the way to Maine for a family vacation at Goose Rocks Beach. 🌲🏖️

But a single moment of fidgeting on his beach blanket turned into a total nightmare when it slipped into the shifting sand. With their vacation winding down and Rhys heading straight back to campus for the fall semester in just a week, the clock was ticking. 🌊⏳

Did the beach claim his custom creation forever, or did we secure the ultimate recovery?

🚨 𝟔𝟎-𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓! 🚨

"Hi there! I believe I lost my wedding ring on Drakes Island Beach today and heard about your services. Are you available?"
With that incoming 6:46 PM text, the clock instantly started ticking. A frantic search for a lost ring was officially underway! ⏱️🏖️

📞 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐄𝐒

Because it was now almost 7:00 PM and daylight would soon be a distant memory, I knew there wasn’t a single second to waste. Instead of typing out a reply, I immediately called the number back. When time is working against you and the dark is rolling in, calling the client directly will always expedite the process much faster.
When the call went through, I identified myself and "Molly" thanked me for getting back to her so quickly. Molly explained that she and a group of family and friends had spent the day at Drakes Island Beach in Wells, Maine. Once the group finally packed up, left the beach, and Molly arrived home, she looked down and noticed her wedding ring was missing.

🪑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐏
Molly explained she had taken her wedding ring off at the beach to apply lotion. Wanting to keep it safe, she had placed the ring into the cupholder of her beach chair.
We all know this story too well, don't we? And we all know exactly what happened next. Molly forgot about the ring, picked up the chair, flipped it over to carry it, and walked off the beach! 🤦‍♂️

🗺️ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 "𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐍" 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄
She was incredibly stressed, but I reassured her that if it was dropped right where they were sitting, there was a great chance we could track it down. I hung up, quickly loaded my gear into the vehicle, and prepared to head out. But first, I needed a plan to find the exact location on an empty beach in the dark.
I asked Molly if she would be able to meet me down there to point out the grid area. Unfortunately, she was already at an out-of-town event and couldn't make it back. Thinking fast, I told her I would send over an aerial satellite view of the beach and have her mark up the rough area where they had set up. She agreed, and within minutes, I had my map marked with the target zone.

💎 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐯𝐬. 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐘 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂
Before heading out, I asked one more critical question: "What metal is the ring made of?"
"Gold, with diamonds," she replied. Knowing it was a small woman's ring meant it wasn't going to be a massive, booming gold signal. It was going to be a delicate, low-to-mid conductor on the machine, meaning I would need to listen very closely to the faint, crisp tones to avoid missing it in the sand.
I told Molly that because of the heavy summer traffic, it usually takes me about 35 to 40 minutes to get down to Drakes Island Beach. I promised to leave immediately and told her that once I arrived, I would take a few photos of the beachfront house she had mentioned they were set up in front of to confirm we were looking at the right spot.
As any experienced detectorist knows, it is always best to have the client show you personally where they had set up. I have been on far too many searches where the client isn't available, only to find out later that they sent me to the completely wrong section of the beach. Let's be honest—in the dark, or even the daylight, beaches all look the same, right? 🕵️‍♂️

🎯 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃, 𝐂𝐎𝐈𝐋 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃
With the house description in mind, Molly's marked-up map on my phone, and the knowledge that I was looking for a small, delicate gold ring, Cheryl and I hit the summer traffic and made our way down to Wells.
Once Cheryl and I arrived, dusk was settling in, but there were still a few lingering beachgoers enjoying the late evening air. I quickly scanned the coastline and spotted the house Molly had described. To ensure we didn't waste a single swing on a false lead, I snapped a few photos of the property and sent them over to her. Molly replied almost instantly, confirming that it was, in fact, the exact house they had set up in front of.
With the location locked in, the correct beach zone verified, and the daylight almost entirely gone, it was time to turn on the machine and start the grid search for that small gold ring.
My game plan was to start at the southern end of my grid area and work my way north, parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. I would search the entire width of the house footprint and then head back south from where I had started. If I wasn't able to locate the ring there, I would then expand outward.

⚡ 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝟔𝟎 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐒!
On my first grid pass heading north, I found nothing but a few pieces of aluminum trash. I turned around and headed back south. Just a few steps into the return pass, a loud, clear, low tone rang through my headphones. As I swept my coil back over the target, I looked down and could actually see the outline of a small gold ring with stones sitting right there in the sand.
𝐖𝐎𝐖!!! I had found Molly's wedding ring in under 60 seconds of actual search time! Molly had put me spot-on the exact location and it paid off 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄!!! 💍💥

I brushed off the sand, took a few photos of the beautiful ring, and texted them over to Molly to share the good news. She replied almost immediately: "Yes! That’s it. Thank you so much. Incredible ✨✨✨"

🤝 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

I then asked Molly if we could meet up somewhere so I could safely return the ring to her. Because she was still stuck out of town at her event, she told me, "You can just leave it on the porch doormat."
As a professional, that just didn't sit right with me. I replied, "I really don’t want to leave it. My reputation is everything, and if by some chance it goes missing, I would just feel terrible. I can drive it back down to you tomorrow sometime if you like if you’d rather not have me come out to Kennebunkport, but Kennebunkport really is on my way home. It’s not a problem."
Molly texted back, "Are you sure? We’re in a super safe neighborhood! You can totally just leave it at the doormat."
Understanding my perspective, Molly then suggested an alternative option: leaving it with her friend Becca, who had been at the beach with them earlier in the day. Becca lived right on Drakes Island, meaning Molly would easily be able to pick her wedding ring up from her the next day.
Perfect. I received Becca's address, and Cheryl and I drove it right over in the pitch-dark. Although I wasn't able to meet Molly in person, Cheryl and I left Becca's house smiling once again. 😊🚘

A short while later, I received one final text from Molly that made the whole rush worth it:
"𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐎 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 .𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖!!! 𝑾𝒐𝒘 𝑰’𝒎 𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒆𝒅"

The Ring Finders of Maine with, Recovery and Return #296

"𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝟏 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫..."

That was the emergency text that came in from Mike. He was down at Camp Ellis Beach, playing catch with a football in the surf the afternoon before when his ring slipped off into the ocean.

When Mike messaged me, he was already back at the beach, frustrated and stressed. As a Ring Finder, I know that time and tides wait for no one. I immediately asked Mike what exact time the ring was lost so I could calculate the tides. It was lost between 3:00 and 4:00 PM the day before. Looking at the clock, I knew right then: 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧.

I told Mike to save me a parking spot on Pearl Ave. Cheryl and I grabbed our gear, jumped in the truck, and headed straight out. Camp Ellis is just about four miles down Ferry Road from our home, so we pulled up to the beach in less than 15 minutes. When it comes to recoveries in the surf, every minute counts.

I grabbed my gear and headed onto the sand. As I arrived, a local detectorist told me that he had already been searching for two hours but wasn't able to find it. He also mentioned he hadn't searched the water or the wet sand. I thought to myself, “Ok then.” My first instinct was that the diamond wedding ring was lost in up to two feet of water, and that is exactly where I was heading.

Mike and his family noticed our arrival and flagged us down. He walked me through the exact events of the previous day and pointed out the small, specific area where they had been throwing the football.

Then, Mike told me something that broke my heart. He said that when he lost the ring, he was so completely devastated that he just wanted to call the remainder of their vacation off right then and go home to Massachusetts. His wedding ring meant everything to him. He couldn’t stand the thought of being on the beach, knowing his ring was buried under the water and sand, assuming he would probably never see it again.

Once I heard that, I looked at him and told him I would do everything humanly possible to find his extremely sentimental wedding ring. I explained the game plan to the family: with the tide already turning and starting to come back in, I would start right at the water's edge, work my way south for about 25 feet, turn around, and head back north—slowly and meticulously gridding the entire area.

I turned on my detector and thought: 𝑶𝒌, 𝒍𝒆𝒕'𝒔 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒊𝒌𝒆'𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈.

I took exactly two steps into the wet sand and water when my headphones lit up. I had my very first target. It was a beautiful, loud, low tone registering a 𝟒𝟔 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐓𝐈𝐃) 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐛 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞. The machine was telling me that whatever was down there was shallow—just 0 to 2 inches beneath the surface.

I dug a quick scoop of the sand, threw it just outside the reach of the incoming water, and looked down. Shining right back at me was 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐄'𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆!

𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐊𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐄!!!!

Having just left Mike's side less than a minute earlier, I knew how completely heartbroken he was, and I wasn't going to make him wait another single second. I looked back up at the family, waved them down, and shouted: "𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠."

Mike and his family came running right down to me at the water's edge, and an immediate wave of hugs, handshakes, and thank you's ensued. You could visually see the heavy knot in Mike's stomach and the crushing worry in his mind completely vanish in an instant.

𝐀𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞:

A week or so after the recovery, I received a text from Mike that reminded me exactly why Cheryl and I do this.

He wrote: "𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒚. 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆'𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔. 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒕. 𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒕. 𝑻𝒉𝒙 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉! 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒂𝒏’𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒕!!!!"

I told him there was no better feeling than being able to help others get their lost history back. For me, it was all in a day's work. Based on how he described losing it, I knew the ring would be in the shallow surf. Since the waves were minor, rings don't move much—so I trusted my gut and went straight for that spot.

Mike replied: "𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒖𝒕 𝒗𝒂𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒕. 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒕. 𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆’𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒚𝒎𝒃𝒐𝒍."
