« 𝐒𝐔𝐍, 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀 𝐅𝐋𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇!”

It was a picture-perfect summer day at Goose Rocks Beach (GRB) in Kennebunkport Maine. Brandon and his wife, Taylor, were soaking up the sun, enjoying the beautiful weather, and spending quality time with a great group of family and friends. It was the kind of beach day memories are made of—until it was time to pack up.

As the day wrapped up and the group started gathering their gear to leave, Brandon went to take his ring off. In a split second, disaster struck. The ring slipped, caught the air, and went flying off his finger, completely disappearing into the sand right in front of him!

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃

If you follow my page, you already know the golden rule: once a ring meets beach sand, it performs an almost impossible vanishing act. It settles instantly, blending perfectly into its new surroundings.

The entire group jumped into action. They searched and searched, sifting through the grains, but after a valiant and exhausting effort, they came up empty-handed. Feeling defeated, the group finally had to leave, leaving Brandon and Taylor behind to continue the frustrating search alone.

𝐀 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐍𝐊𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓’𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐓

Before leaving the area, a call was made to the Kennebunkport Police Department to officially report the lost ring and asking if there was anything they could do to help find the ring. That phone call turned out to be the best move they could have made! The responding officers gave Brandon and Taylor some incredible advice: “You need to reach out to The Ring Finders of Maine. They have great success finding rings on the beach.”

I want to extend a HUGE thank you to the Kennebunkport Police for the incredibly kind words and the referral! We truly appreciate our local law enforcement looking out for beachgoers and pointing them in our direction.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍

Once off the phone with the police, Brandon called me up and explained what happened. As I always do, I started asking a few quick questions to build a mental map of the recovery zone: Where exactly on the beach? Was it in the water or the dry sand? What time did it happen? Did you see or feel it come off?

Brandon gave me the whole story. Because the ring was lost high up in the dry sand, I didn’t need to worry about checking the tide charts or racing a rising ocean. I told him Cheryl and I would load up and be there in 25–30 minutes, depending on the summer traffic.

𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 « 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐔𝐍 »

When Cheryl and I arrived at GRB, Brandon met us promptly and walked us down to the now mostly empty beach. Taylor was still standing guard at the scene of the mishap, waiting and hoping.

Whenever I work with clients, I like to do a quick demonstration to build confidence. I take my own platinum wedding ring, throw it into the sand, and watch it completely disappear under the surface. Then, I swing my detector’s coil over the spot. I don’t normally wear headphones on these types of searches unless there’s heavy background noise. I want my clients to hear the target tone at the exact same moment I do!

When my detector let out a beautiful, loud, low tone over my hidden ring, Brandon and Taylor’s faces lit up. They heard the exact sound we were hunting for, reassuring them that the equipment works, everything is above board, and they had professional help on site.

𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝟏𝟎 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐒?! 𝐔𝐍𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋!

Brandon showed me exactly where he had been standing when the ring took flight. I could see the area straight out from his position where the group had spent hours searching. I mapped out the strategy and told the couple I would perform a meticulous grid search, moving north to south, parallel to the shoreline.

I set up to start the grid right where I had just thrown my own test ring. I turned on the machine, took my very first two steps, and swung the coil.

BANG!

The detector screamed with the exact same loud, low tone and Target ID that my own platinum ring had just produced. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Could I really have just found Brandon’s ring less than two feet from my test spot in less than 10 seconds?

I reached for my pinpointer, located the exact target deep in the sand, and pulled out Brandon’s platinum wedding ring. UNREAL!!!!

𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐅, 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒

Immediately, Brandon and Taylor broke out into huge relief smiles! Handshakes and big emotional hugs ensued right there on the sand. The heavy weight of a lost heirloom vanished in an instant, replaced by pure joy.

But the celebration didn’t stop there. With the ring safely recovered, the happy couple broke some absolutely beautiful news to us: They are expecting their first child this upcoming November!

On top of that, they are looking forward to celebrating their second wedding anniversary this September, less than two months away. Now that Brandon has his precious wedding ring back on his finger, this sweet couple is just ecstatic and feels completely whole again.

14K St Anthony Pendant Lost In The Atlantic Ocean Water, Found With A Metal Detector At Short Sands Beach, York, Maine

𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐀𝐍: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓. 𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐘 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐏𝐔𝐙𝐙𝐋𝐄

I received a call from Joanne. Her son, Rob, had been enjoying the day at Short Sands Beach in York Beach, Maine , when disaster struck. After getting out of the ocean, Rob looked down and realized his 14k gold St. Anthony pendant was no longer on his necklace. It was lost somewhere in the rolling surf.

𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒

Joanne asked if I could help. I immediately checked the tide charts and saw that the tide was currently coming in. When she told me the pendant was lost around 1:00 PM, I knew that meant it went missing at mid-tide.

I explained to Joanne that our absolute best chance for a recovery would be to arrive at Short Sands at 7:00 PM. By then, the tide would be heading back out, hitting that exact same mid-tide level, allowing me to follow the water out as it receded. She told me Rob would meet us there.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐒

When Cheryl and I arrived at 7:00 PM, Rob was waiting. He brought us right down to the beach and pointed out the exact area where he had been swimming when he first noticed the pendant was gone.

I mapped out my strategy and told Rob I would grid search parallel to the shore, expanding the search area by an extra 25 feet to both the north and the south to guarantee we covered every square inch of the zone.

Duty called for Rob, and he had to leave the beach shortly after to head back to Boston for work the next morning.

Cheryl and I pushed on. I grid searched the area for more than two hours, finally calling it a night after 9:00 PM as darkness completely took over.

I had covered the entire designated area, but the ocean only gave up coins and the usual pull tabs and small pieces of aluminum. No gold.

𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄

On the drive back home to Saco, Maine, I called Rob to give him the update. I told him the pendant simply wasn’t in that specific grid. I asked him if he had actually felt or seen the pendant slip off his neck, and he said no. Then I asked a crucial question:

« Had you been swimming earlier in the day? »

« Yes, » he replied. « Three or four other times. »

Right then, a lightbulb went off. It all made perfect sense! The St. Anthony pendant hadn’t come off during his 1:00 PM swim—it had likely slipped off during one of his earlier swims, and he just hadn’t noticed it was missing until later in the day.

𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 & 𝐀 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍

Knowing he had most likely lost the pendant earlier in the day, my mind immediately went back to the tide charts. I saw that the morning low tide was set for 10:39 AM. My new plan was to get back to Short Sands Beach by 7:00 AM, matching the receding water and following it all the way down until low tide three and a half hours later. I was highly optimistic that the earlier swimming area would finally be exposed.

After a restless night with maybe three hours of sleep—because my mind just wouldn’t stop racing over that missing gold—I pulled back up to Short Sands Beach.

I wasted no time getting to work, picking up the grid search from north to south, moving parallel to the shoreline once again. For the first hour and a half, the beach was stubborn. I was only digging up the usual suspects: coins and pull-tabs. By 8:30 AM, with two hours left until low tide, I knew I just had to keep grinding.

𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: 𝟑𝟓!

Just ten minutes later, everything changed.

My detector screamed with a LOUD, LOW TONE, locking in at a solid 35 on my Target Identification Screen (TID)!

It sounded absolutely beautiful, and my adrenaline instantly spiked.

I scooped up a heavy load of sand, flipped it onto the wet, hard-packed surface, and pulled out my pinpointer. As I located the target and began brushing away the top layer of sand, there it was—a bright, unmistakable glint of SHINY GOLD!

I pulled it out, and holding it in my hand was Rob’s St. Anthony pendant! My theory had been spot on. After two separate days and four and a half total hours of searching, the puzzle was solved. The pendant was resting about 40 to 50 feet further out toward the water than where Rob originally thought he lost it, proving he had dropped it during one of those earlier swims.

𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐂𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘

I immediately captured a video of the recovery and sent it to Rob and Joanne. Within minutes, both of their phones were ringing off the hook—they were absolutely ecstatic!

Since Rob was already back at work in Boston and Joanne was also down in Massachusetts, Rob asked if I could hand the precious heirloom over to his girlfriend’s brother, Jay, who was still vacationing in York with his family. I told him, « Absolutely! »

Meeting up with Jay and handing over the pendant felt incredible. Job done. But the real icing on the cake came a short time later when I received a text from Rob that truly says it all:

Gold Wedding Ring Lost In The Beach Sand, Found With A Metal Detector, in Old Orchard Beach, Maine

𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄, 𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇!

It was Thursday, July 16th, and it started out as a picture-perfect Maine summer day.

Ron and his wife, Deb, were loving every second of their vacation, relaxing outside the Sea Watch Condominiums right here in Old Orchard Beach.

The ocean view was beautiful, the sun was shining, and the beach was packed with people soaking up the warmth.

After a while, Ron decided to head into the surf for a refreshing swim .

Before walking down to the water, he did what many people do—he slipped off his precious wedding ring and placed it safely inside the cup holder of his beach chair.

After his swim, Ron rejoined Deb at their chairs. The couple lay back, completely relaxed, without a single care in the world.

But Mother Nature had other plans for mid-afternoon.

Out of absolutely nowhere, a massive, severe cold front slammed into the coast. A line of violent thunderstorms swept through the area with terrifying speed. Suddenly, peaceful relaxation turned into pure survival mode!

* 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭? Local wind gusts right on Old Orchard Beach clocked in at an incredible 43 mph, whipping the ocean into a choppy, dangerous surf.

* 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞: The storm was tearing across the state, bringing 44 mph winds to Sanford and up to 60 mph gusts up north in Bangor, leaving tens of thousands of Mainers entirely without power!

Down on OOB, the wind hit like a freight train. Everyone on the beach was literally being sandblasted by the flying grit. It was blinding, painful, and complete chaos.

Panicking as the storm raged around them, Ron and Deb grabbed what they could and fled the beach, running as fast as they could to find cover from the wind and pelting rain.

But in the frantic rush to escape being sandblasted… Ron’s wedding ring was completely forgotten, sitting right there in the cup holder of his beach chair.

Once they safely made it back inside their room at The SeaWatch Beachfront Condominiums, the adrenaline began to fade, and a sinking feeling set in. Ron reached for his finger, looked around, and realized with a jolt that his ring was missing!

They frantically tore through everything they had carried inside. They checked and re-checked the beach chairs, shook out the towels, and emptied the beach bags. All to no avail.

As soon as the severe weather finally passed the area, Ron and Deb hurried back down to the beach, eyes glued to the ground. But the storm had done its work. The heavy wind and flying sand had completely reshaped the beach, and the ring had vanished without a trace.

Seeing their distress, several kind members of The SeaWatch Association stepped in to help. They gave Deb my contact information and told her to give me a call.

When Deb reached out, she asked if I might be able to head down to search for her husband’s ring over the next day or so, whenever I could find the time. I stopped her right there. I explained that when it comes to a lost ring on a shifting shoreline, time is of the essence!

Waiting a day or two simply wasn’t an option. Old Orchard is a highly popular public beach where a stray glint of gold can easily catch someone else’s eye.

Even worse, the OOB beach cleaning rake machines are a HUGE concern, capable of scooping up and burying a ring deep in the debris.

On top of that, there is always the chance of another metal detectorist scanning the area before I could get there.

I told Deb that Cheryl and I would load up the gear and be down there in 15 to 20 minutes!

When we arrived on site, Ron and Deb met us to point out the area where they had been sitting when the cold front blew through.

However, memory can be a bit tricky after a wild storm, and there was a little confusion as to the exact location.

Ron was convinced they had been parked towards the northern end of the building, while Deb was absolutely certain it was more towards the center of the structure.

Now, I’ve done enough of these recoveries to know you never argue with a wife’s intuition!

I chose to start my precise grid search in the exact area Deb pointed out. I reassured the couple that if it didn’t turn up there, I would move over to search Ron’s suspected area next. If that still didn’t work, I was prepared to grid the entire escape route they took from the beach all the way to the access path.

I turned on my detector and began sweeping the sand in Deb’s zone. I didn’t have to walk very far before my machine locked onto a very strong, beautiful signal!

With Deb standing anxiously right beside me, I pulled out my pinpointer to narrow down the target. As I carefully moved the top layer of sand aside, a HUGE gold ring glinted in the sunlight!

Deb instantly gasped, « 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒊𝒕! »

Ron, looking over from a few yards away, blinked and said, « 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕? »

Deb shouted back with a huge smile, « 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈! »

Ron stood there in total disbelief, scratching his head. « 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆! »

Chalk up another massive win for wife’s intuition!

Ron walked on over, and it was an incredible feeling to place that heavy gold band right back into his hand. Deb immediately threw her arms around me, giving me a big, grateful hug and thanking me for saving the day. Ron followed right up with a hearty, unforgettable handshake and his own deep thanks.

As Cheryl and I packed up and walked off the beach, the happy couple thanked us one last time. They were already heading back to find those wonderful SeaWatch Association Members to give them a massive thank you for the life-saving referral!

Moments like this remind us why « 𝑾𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒋𝒐𝒃 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅. 𝑾𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒋𝒐𝒃! » Another piece of precious history saved, and another stormy day turned into smiles!

𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘!

Want to see the excitement for yourself? Head over to our Ring Finders of Maine Facebook page to watch the recovery video! We caught the exact moment the ring was found, along with the fantastic, priceless reactions from Deb and Ron when that gold ring finally came out of the sand!

Gold Wedding Ring Lost In The Ocean Water At Gooch’s Beach, Kennebunk, Maine, Found With A Metal Detector Kennebunkport

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐖-𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐘: 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐜𝐡’𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡!

What started as a beautiful summer day at Gooch’s Beach in Kennebunk turned into a race against the Atlantic Ocean.

John was visiting Maine from Massachusetts for a friend’s bachelor party weekend.

The group set up high on the dry sand, but with negative low tides exposing a vast expanse of hard beach, they were playing football and swimming all day.

By evening, John’s white gold wedding ring was gone. After a futile search with friends, John headed back to Massachusetts and called The Ring Finders of Maine.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟑𝐭𝐡

I arrived at Gooch’s Beach in the pitch black at 4:00 AM to catch a -0.8 low tide. For three hours, I ran a tight grid along the low tide line, trying to stay ahead of the incoming surf. I dug up beach trash, a few coins, and even a stainless steel ring—but not John’s.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟒𝐭𝐡

Back at it again at 4:00 AM! This time, chasing an even lower -1.1 negative tide. I grid-searched the moving shoreline, eliminating a massive section of the waterbed, but John’s ring remained hidden. With a Wednesday commitment keeping me away, the clock was ticking.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑: 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟔𝐭𝐡 (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞)

Thankfully, Gary Hill returned home from South Carolina just in time. This was the day of the lowest tide of the entire month of July: a massive -1.2 negative low tide at 7:13 AM. We needed to take advantage of every second.

We arrived at 5:00 AM to double-team the beach. Gary started a grid high up in the dry sand, working his way down a distance longer than a football field. I picked up right where I left off two days prior, following the receding tide line out.

By 6:45 AM, we had found nothing but trash and coins. Knowing the tide would turn back in just 30 minutes—and that the upcoming days wouldn’t bring tides this low again—I made a tactical decision. I waded out into the knee-deep water and began a grid working my way back toward the shore.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟕:𝟏𝟎 𝐀𝐌 𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭

After 20 minutes in the surf, I was ankle-deep. It was 7:10 AM—just three minutes before the absolute lowest tide of the month. You can actually check out the video I recorded right there in the surf on our main Facebook video tab to see the exact timestamps of the find!

Suddenly, the detector gave off the sweetest tone I had heard in three days. I plunged my sand scoop into the rolling surf and lifted it. As the water and sand sifted out, a sliver of silver-colored metal caught my eye.

I pulled it out. It was a white gold milgrain wedding band, matching the photo John had sent me perfectly. After three intense searches, at the absolute limit of the ocean’s reach, we won the lottery!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝟓-𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲

When John called me back after seeing the message, he was in absolute disbelief. This wedding ring meant far too much to him to wait even a single day to have it back.

As soon as John and his wife Sarah got out of work that evening, they jumped straight into the car. They made a 2.5-hour drive all the way up to my house here in Maine, grabbed the ring with massive smiles, and then turned right around for the 2.5-hour drive back to Massachusetts. That is how much this sentimental ring meant to them!

John recently let me know that he has since had the wedding ring safely resized and fully cleaned. It’s officially back where it belongs, looking brand new. We are so honored we could bring this story to such a perfect ending.

𝐈𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬.

Tungsten Wedding Ring Lost In The Ocean Park Beach Sand, Found With A Metal Detector In Old Orchard Beach, Maine

𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐄: 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 & 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 #𝟑 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘!

What a day July 11th turned out to be! I was already running on pure adrenaline after completing two successful ring rescues earlier in the day. Just as I was wrapping up, my phone buzzed with an urgent text from a local Old Orchard Beach resident named Brittany.

She was looking for her husband Trent’s lost wedding band, but she knew the odds were heavily stacked against them.

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒎𝒆:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝

While Brittany’s text mentioned swimming, it turned out Trent’s ring actually slipped off up in the dry sand right along their towel line. In many ways, this made the situation even more urgent.

This is a heavily used, packed summer beach. For over 48 hours, that heavy tungsten ring sat exposed to countless feet. Our biggest fears? A passerby spotting it, another metal detectorist scooping it up, or worse—the massive beach-cleaning rakes scooping it into the trash during a morning sweep.

Funny thing about this ring—it’s a bit of a traveler! Trent and Brittany have only been married for one year, but Trent had actually lost this exact same ring once before on a cruise earlier this year. They managed to find it themselves on the ship, but lightning had just struck twice in Ocean Park!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 & 𝐀 𝐅𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐝

I headed straight out and immediately met Trent down at Ocean Park. Having him there was a massive help—he walked me right to the exact spot where he and Brittany had set up their towels and chairs.

As I started a meticulous grid search through the dry sand, we weren’t alone. A family was still enjoying the beach that night, including Kim, who happened to be a big fan of The Ring Finders of Maine! She was incredibly excited to watch the live search unfold right in front of her.

Suddenly, a beautiful, crisp signal hit my headphones. I moved the top layer of sand, and there it was—the heavy, 6mm tungsten ring with its distinct gold rim, completely safe from the rakes and crowds. I flipped it over, checked the inside, and confirmed the initials: BJG.

𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞!

The moment the ring was pulled from the sand, Trent raised his arms, victoriously, into the air. He then gave me a high five

and a big hug

. Kim and her family broke out into immediate applause

! It was such an awesome, high-energy moment on the beach.

Handing the ring right back to Trent on the spot was the perfect ending to an unbelievable day. This marked my third successful recovery and return in a single day! There is truly no better feeling than saving a piece of family history just in the nick of time and handing it back to grateful local residents.

A huge thank you to Kim for your wonderful support and for cheering us on! Welcome home, Trent’s ring (again)!

Gold Stud Earring Lost In The Grass, Found With A Metal Detector, In Scarborough, Maine

🌟𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘: Handcrafted Treasure Saved! 💍✨

On July 15th, I got a heartbreaking call from Emily, a local real estate agent. 👩‍💼
The night before, she was playing volleyball at Memorial Park in Scarborough, Maine. 🏐

📍 Side note: This park is so nostalgic for me—it’s the site of the old Portland Twin Drive-In Theatre! 🎬🍿

During a big play at the net, Emily jumped high and brushed against the mesh. 🥅

In a split second, her custom earring slipped out and vanished into the thick grass. 🌿

Emily and her friends searched on their hands and knees but found absolutely nothing. 🌾

This wasn’t just any jewelry. Emily used to be a professional jeweler. 🛠️

She had designed and handcrafted this specific gold earring herself. 🎨

She left the park completely devastated. 😞

🔍 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓’𝐒 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐄:

Most people think metal detectors find jewelry instantly. 🪙

But tiny stud earrings are the ultimate test of skill and gear. 🎛️

They contain an incredibly minute amount of precious metal. 🤏

When they fall into thick grass, they rarely lay flat. 🌱

Standard detecting programs look for round, dense targets like coins or thick wedding bands. 🪙💍

A vertical, microscopic gold post has an electromagnetic footprint that is almost non-existent. 📉

Standard factory programs will simply ignore it or filter it out as ground noise. 🔇

To give us a fighting chance, I swapped to my agile 8″ coil. 🔄

I booted up the Minelab Manticore’s specialized « Gold Field » program. 👑

This mode is engineered to sniff out tiny, low-conductive gold that other detectors miss. ✨

⚡ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓:

Emily met me at the park at 1:30 PM, right after I got back from York. 🚗

She had smartly marked the exact net post hole with a small tree branch. 🌿

I started a tight, overlapping grid search on her side of the net. 🥅

Nothing but faint iron mineralization from the soil. 🧱

I crossed over to the opposing team’s side of the net and kept swinging. 🕵️‍♂️

After 5 to 6 minutes of methodical scanning… BANG! ⚡

A sharp, beautifully repeatable audio signal broke through my headphones. 🎧

Having had two complete and total knee replacements, dropping down to the ground wasn’t happening. 🦿🦿

Instead, I carefully bent over and used my handheld pinpointer to narrow down the grass blades. 🕵️‍♂️🌾

As I slowly parted the turf with my fingers, there it was—gleaming bright yellow in the dirt! ✨🥇

Emily spotted it at the exact same millisecond. 👁️⭐

(If you haven’t seen her reaction yet, go watch the video Reel I posted last night!) 🎥👇

She started jumping up and down with her hands in the air, celebrating wildly! 🙌💃

🙌 « WOW, thank you so much! » she shouted. 📣🎉

Seeing that pure joy and relief is exactly why I do this. ❤️

Honestly, I have the best job in the world, and I love my job! 🌍💼

Welcome home, earring! 👑💍

🏐𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄-𝐅𝐎𝐑-𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐘𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐒!🏖️

Funny enough, volleyball courts have been my specialty this season!

This actually marks my third volleyball court recovery of the year. 🎉

The first two were rings lost in the deep sand during intense beach volleyball games. 🏝️🏐

But switching from soft beach sand to thick park grass is a whole different ballgame—and it feels great to keep the streak alive! 🏖️➡️🌿

👋𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒? 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐏 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄!🔍✨

At the end of the day, our motto is simple:

👉 « 𝐈𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬. »👈

Whether it’s a sentimental ring lost on the beach 🏝️, a family heirloom dropped in the backyard 🏡, or a tiny earring lost in a local park 🌿, time is of the essence. ⏱️

If you or someone you know has lost a metal item in the southern Maine area, don’t wait. 🧭 Call or text today, 207-423-3027

Newlywed’s Engagement Ring Lost In The Beach Sand, Found With A Metal Detector, In Ocean Park, Maine Old Orchard Beach

💍 FOUND AT THE BEACH! 🌊✨

Talk about a rollercoaster of a day for a couple of newlyweds!

On July 11th, Jen and her husband Ryan—married for just one single month—were enjoying a beautiful Maine summer day on the beach in Ocean Park, Maine with 15 to 20 of their closest family and friends.

Suddenly, the unthinkable happened. Jen went to remove her engagement ring, and it 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫, vanishing deep into the sand somewhere in front of her. 😮

The entire group jumped into action, searching the sand, but couldn’t find a trace of it. That’s when someone in the crowd made the brilliant suggestion to call The Ring Finders of Maine! 📞

When the call came in, I was actually an hour away at Sebago Lake Maine , knee-deep in a water search for another lost wedding ring. I told the Ocean Park crew that Cheryl and I would head their way the second I finished.

Talk about luck—just 5 minutes later, I recovered the ring at Sebago Lake!

I immediately called Jen’s group back to let them know we were on our way. I gave them two crucial pieces of advice: 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝.

When we arrived in Ocean Park an hour later, the whole group warmly greeted us. Jen showed me exactly where she was standing and the direction the ring flew.

And let me tell you, this group did a phenomenal job—they used children’s beach toys to create a large circle around the entire hot zone! A truly brilliant move. 🧸🏖️

I kicked off my grid search at the top of the toy circle, working my way down toward the ocean. I finished my first pass, turned around, and started heading back toward the shore.

About 3/4 of the way back…𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌! I got the exact tone I was hoping for on my metal detector. 🔥

I pulled out my pinpointer, cleared the sand, and pulled out Jen’s beautiful engagement ring!

The second the ring cleared the sand, the entire beach exploded into cheering and clapping! 🎉👏

The heavy tension in the air instantly evaporated, replaced by pure joy and relief.

👉𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐛 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬!🎬
Congratulations again to Jen and Ryan on your recent wedding! I am so incredibly happy I could help save your summer day and bring that beautiful ring back where it belongs.

Moments like this remind us every day: 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐛!❤️

Gold And Platinum Wedding Ring Lost In The Water Of Sebago Lake, Found With A Metal Detector, In Standish, Maine

💍 SAVED FROM SEBAGO LAKE! 🚨

It was supposed to be the ultimate bachelor weekend getaway.
A group of lifelong friends. A stunning waterfront lake house in Standish, Maine. Perfect weather over beautiful Sebago Lake Maine. 🌊

But what happened next turned a perfect weekend into a full-blown emergency… 😳

☀️ THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED ☀️

Nick was out in the water enjoying Sebago Lake—tossing a football, swimming, and floating around with the guys—when disaster struck.

His gold and platinum wedding ring suddenly slipped off his finger.

Before anyone could react… it disappeared beneath the surface. Gone. Just like that. 😳

The panic set in immediately.

Imagine having to make that phone call to your wife from a bachelor party weekend… YIKES!!! 💍

💥 Determined not to give up, the bachelor crew jumped into action.

They swam, waded, and searched the area themselves. Smartly, they even placed two large stones on the lake bed to mark the exact drop zone.

But finding a ring in waist- to chest-deep water is nearly impossible by hand.

Despite their best efforts… the ring was still missing.

📞 “WE NEED HELP…” (THIS IS WHEN WE WERE CALLED) 📞

Realizing they were running out of time, Nick contacted The Ring Finders of Maine.

Cheryl and I immediately loaded up my fully waterproof metal detecting gear and headed to Standish, Maine and Sebago Lake, Maine.

When we arrived, the guys showed us the stone markers they had placed—perfect reference points.

We geared up, entered the water, and began a careful grid search.

🎉 10 MINUTES LATER… THIS HAPPENED 🎉

I swept the detector back across the marked area…

Nothing.

I adjusted slightly and continued the grid pattern.

Still nothing.

Then I turned just a bit farther left… and everything changed. 👀

A clean, unmistakable signal rang out through my headphones.

I scooped the sand, swirled it in the water… and there it was.

💍 Nick’s gold and platinum wedding ring.

I lifted it high and said:

“Gold & platinum?”

The entire group erupted in cheers. The energy was unbelievable. 🎉

Nick’s relief said it all—what started as a disaster was now a full recovery.

And best of all… no dreaded phone call home needed. 🙌

We have the best job in the world. We love our job.

“Remember, If It Matters to You, It Matters To Us “❤️🙏

🔊 TURN YOUR SOUND UP — THIS IS THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED!👇

Don’t wait—and don’t try to dig it out yourself. You could push it deeper.

Father’s Gold Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost In Sebago Lake, Found With A Metal Detector, in Standish, Maine

🚨 LOST HEIRLOOM ON SEBAGO LAKE! 🚨

👉 A 56-Year-Old Father’s Legacy, Saved From the Sand! 👇

I received a phone call from Angela on July 8th. 📞

She and her husband, Bill, had been enjoying an absolutely gorgeous Maine summer day at Rich Memorial Beach in Standish, Maine. 🏖️

This beach is a private beach on Sebago Lake Maine, just for Standish Maine residents. I knew this beach well from a two-ring search last summer.

🌊 THE HEARTBREAK
Angela told me that Bill was in the water, in about three feet of water, when his wedding ring fell into the lake. 🌊

Bill had felt and seen the ring falling into the water but just couldn’t catch it in time. After searching the sandy area where he had been standing for over an hour, he gave up and left for home.

Angela then told me that this wedding ring is not only Bill’s, but that this ring was also Bill’s late father’s wedding ring. Bill was very concerned that the ring wouldn’t be found. 🥺

⏱️ RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK

WOW!!! Another family heirloom lost, and I wanted to find this badly.

It was now just after 5:00 pm. By the time I loaded up my equipment and drove the 45-50 minutes up there, I wouldn’t have much time at all to search. ⏱️

Even though Bill and Angela knew the area the ring was in, it was just cutting it too close for a proper grid search before the beach closed for the day.

Rich Memorial Beach was reopening at 9:30 am in the morning. I agreed to meet them there as the beach opened and before it got busy. 👍

🔍 THE SEARCH BEGINS

Cheryl and I arrived at the beach just prior to 9:30 am. Bill and Angela were already there in the parking lot. After a few pleasantries, we all went straight down to the beach.

It was another beautiful day and the beach was not crowded yet. With only 5-6 people there, it was a perfect situation to search. 🔍

I wouldn’t be bothering any of the members, and the area I needed to search wouldn’t be disturbed.

If the area were full of swimmers and waders, the ring could possibly be moved to deeper water or pushed deeper into the soft sandy bottom, making a recovery more difficult.

Thankfully, we had this area of the beach to ourselves. 🙏

As I was putting my gear on, Bill and Angela were pointing out the area where the ring should be.

I could tell by the way Bill talked about his and his father’s ring just how much this ring meant to him. The love for his father was very obvious, and even though Bill was putting up a strong front, he wanted this family heirloom back. ❤️

Only one thing to do now—let’s go find this 56-year-old family heirloom ring! 🪙

🎧 THE FIRST TARGETS

I entered Sebago Lake, and even at this early time of day, the water was very warm and comfortable. Perfect!!! ☀️

As I walked out to the area, I asked the couple a few questions. « Were you this far out? Were you this far over? »

I wanted to start just a little further to the north and just a foot or so deeper in the water than Bill had been. I would grid search from north to south, parallel with the shore. 🗺️

When I passed the spot Bill had been in, Bill and Angela would let me know. At that point, I would take half a step toward the shore, turn around, and then head north toward the area I started in.

The water was so very, very clear. I was hoping to see the ring on the bottom, but as we all know, once a ring is in the sand, 99% of the time you won’t see it.

As I started my first pass of the grid search, I was praying I would find this ring fast and get it back on Bill’s finger. 🙏

I was just a few minutes into the first pass when I received my first target. It was a nice, low tone that I had hoped to hear. 🎧

I took a scoop of sand and sifted it out, leaving many small rocks. I didn’t see a ring, and actually, I didn’t see any metal at all.
I rechecked the hole, and the target was gone. After searching the scoop and hole a second time, still nothing.

I surmised it was a small piece of aluminum that had made its way out of my scoop through one of the holes. That happens all the time with very small pieces of metal. 🪙

✨ FLASH OF GOLD!

Okay, back to the search.
I took about 2–3 steps and received another target, and this one was louder. 💥

I took a scoop of sand, and as I was sifting it out and bringing it out of the water for a look, I caught a glimpse of gold! ✨

I now had the scoop out of the water, and I could see a gold ring!

I reached into the scoop, fumbling around the rocks, and grabbed the wedding ring. 🤩

With Bill, Angela, and Cheryl on shore, I asked, “Did you say it was yellow gold?”
I held the ring up so all could see, and Bill said, “You’re the man!” 🙌

WOW!!! Not even 5 minutes, and I felt great knowing Bill would be putting his and his father’s ring back on. The stress and anxiety for Bill and Angela was now over. 🤗

😂 A MOMENT OF PANIC?

As I was walking out of the water, I could see the big smiles on their faces. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

When I arrived on shore, I held the ring up and said, “Is that it?”
Bill started walking toward me, looked at the ring, and said, “That’s… Oh, that’s not it.” 😳

He then quickly said, as he took the ring, “Yeah, yeah, that’s it!” 😂

We were all laughing at this point, and thankfully, Bill and Angela were no longer worried about this very sentimental, cherished wedding ring.

💫 THE POWER OF A STORY

The couple told Cheryl and me that when Bill’s father passed away many years ago, Bill received his dad’s wedding ring. 🕊️

When Bill and Angela were married 23 years ago, there was no question that Bill would wear his father’s ring to honor and show his love for his father.

I often mention that every ring has a story, and this ring’s story shows a love and legacy between a father and son that, after all these years, is as strong as it has ever been. 💫

We are so proud to be able to help people like Bill and Angela in their time of need. We have the best job in the world. We love our job. 🤝

Sterling Silver Engagement Ring AND Key Fob Lost In Range Pond State Park, Found With A Metal Detector In Poland, Maine

🚨 THE IMPOSSIBLE DOUBLE RECOVERY AT Range Pond State Park! 🚨

Cheryl, Gary, and I love our jobs—we truly have the best job in the world. 🌊

It all started on July 8th when I received a phone call from Vanessa, a Ranger at Range Pond State Park in Poland, Maine … 📞

🔑 A Tourist Stranded & A Rental Car Stuck

The day before, a tourist from Texas had been enjoying the beautiful, serene lake while floating around on an inner-tube style flotation device. 🏖️

Suddenly, disaster struck. His rental car key fob and keys slipped out of his swim trunk pocket and vanished into the water! 😭

To make matters worse:

The Search Area: Vanessa warned me the area he had been swimming in was massive.

🗺️The Stakes: The rental car was still stranded at the park because that was the only set of keys the agency had given him! 🚗🔒

I told Vanessa I would be there as soon as I could pack my gear and drive the one hour to the park. I immediately called Gary Hill for backup, and his response was instant: “On my way, I’ll meet you there!” 🏎️💨

💍 The Plot Thickens: A Second Missing Treasure

When I arrived, the booth attendant was expecting me. She told me Gary had just arrived, but then she dropped a bombshell question:
“Were you told that a few weeks ago, someone lost their silver engagement ring in the lake?” 😮

I had no idea! She told me the park staff still had the owner’s contact info. If we found it, they could return it.I smiled and thought, “Alright then, let’s go find a key fob and an engagement ring. A two-for-one type of deal!” 🎯✨

🗺️ The Grid: Searching a « Football Field » in deep water

When we met up with Vanessa down by the shore, we realized the true scale of the challenge. The search area was larger than a football field! 🏈

Covering an area that size on dry land is tough enough, but doing it in water feels impossible. We knew we would need a miracle to find either item, let alone both. Fortunately, the water was extremely clear with a beautiful sandy bottom, and the lake was nice and warm. ☀️🏊‍♂️

Because a large group of local city summer camp kids was playing near the tourist’s entry point, we had to adjust our boundaries. We used a large tree and a water fountain up on the shore as our east and west markers:

I started out deep near the buoys. 🦺

Gary started mid-water, working eastward slightly to my right.

We began making our grid passes. No keys or engagement ring on the first pass, but the lake was already giving up secrets!

I found a small sterling silver ring with CZ stones, while Gary dug up coins and typical beach trash like pull tabs and foil.🗑️

After a few more passes, I found another ring—this one stainless steel—along with an earring and more coins.

Gary was finding plenty of coins, but no jewelry yet. 🪙

💥 The Miracle Double-Strike!

We had been in the water for about 45 minutes and were almost finished with our first section. As I swung my detector, something about 7 to 8 feet ahead caught my eye. 👀

Amidst the stark white sand, there was a strange black object resting on the bottom. A tree branch? Bark? Trash? 🪵

I kept swinging my coil and advanced toward it. The moment the coil passed over the object, my machine screamed! 🔊

I leaned over in the stomach-deep water to get a closer look. I squinted through the ripples, and my heart stopped—IT WAS THE KEY FOB AND KEYS! Are you kidding me?! 😭🙌

I scooped them up, held them high in the air, and yelled over to Cheryl and Gary. Gary rushed over, grinning from ear to ear as I handed them to him. 🔑🎉

We stood there celebrating for a moment. As we were about to turn and leave the spot, I gave my detector one last casual swing over the exact same area.

BEEP! 🚨
Another target—less than a foot away! I plunged my scoop into the sand, lifted it, and let the white sand sift through the holes, in the scoop. Staring up at me from the bottom of the scoop was a beautiful engagement ring! 💍✨

Seriously!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I hadn’t even taken a single step forward, and I pulled the lost engagement ring from the depths of the lake! I checked inside the band, saw the « 925 » stamp, and knew instantly it was the sterling silver ring lost weeks prior.

Talk about being lucky! The two missing items had ended up less than a foot apart in a massive lake. What are the absolute odds of that? As the saying goes, « Better lucky than good! » 🍀🍀

💌 Grateful Rangers & Happy Owners

Once out of the water, we met up with Vanessa and another ranger named Walter. I actually met Walter the previous year when I recovered a gold ring at the same park!

Walter is a massive fan of The Ring Finders of Maine Facebook page and keeps my business card right in his wallet. He promised us that whenever anyone reports a lost item to the park staff, we will be the very first phone call. Thank you, Walter! 🪪🤝

Vanessa took the recovered treasures straight to the front office to notify the incredibly relieved owners. Later that day, she sent me this wonderful message:

“Thank you so much for coming so promptly. They picked up their keys this afternoon and were very happy and incredibly thankful for your service. It is a great service you provide. So… Thank you and Gary for all you do.” 🥹❤️

Remember: If it matters to you, it matters to us. 🤝⚓
