Bill McDougall's Bio
I having been metal detecting since 2004. I have helped many people recover lost items-- rings, jewelry, basically anything that contains metal. I have recently retired, feel free to call anytime. The sooner you call, the better the chance we have of finding the lost item. That being said, I once found a ring for a gentleman that was lost 10 years earlier.

My wife has referred to Bill as a "magical stranger." We are grateful. (2018)
Not all jewels that wander are lost, thanks to Bill McDougall. Bill came to my aid at Lincolnville Beach on the morning of July 11 where some 15 hours earlier my wife lost her rings -- engagement, wedding, and anniversary -- after taking them off and tucking them in the fold of her skirt to put sunscreen on our nine month old daughter.
My wife and I pawed at the sand for hours after we realized the rings were gone. But turning up little more than seaweed, I returned the next morning with shovels, rakes, tarps, and screens for sifting, hoping without hope that an archeological approach would turn something up.
But I also messaged Bill McDougall, at Ring Finder Sean Kelly's recommendation. Bill promptly returned my call and after only a few words of explanation from me -- "lost", "rings", "wife", "inconsolable" -- was on his way.
He found the rings in a matter of minutes, digging each one up with a single quick scoop after hearing what he needed to hear from his metal detector. And all was well with the world.
My wife has referred to Bill as a "magical stranger." We are grateful.
Thank you, Bill.
