Westerly CT Gold Nugget ring returned from the ocean at Misquamicut Beach July 2025

A day on summer vacation for Rachel and Arthur a couple visiting from New Hampshire turned into chaos after he lost his special ring playing football with his nephew in the surf at Misquamicut beach. Arthur had earlier removed his ring so not to lose it during his football throwing activities with his nephew. But just before leaving , he put the ring back on his hand and made a few more passes. As accidents happen after one pass it ended up with the ring flying off his finger. Rachel had posted on social media and then heard about my recent recovery’s in the area from others on social media and contacted me to help. It was late in the day and getting dark. I asked my friend Gary Bonin a ring finder in Westerly to take a quick look before dark. He did not have good luck  because he could not isolate the optimal location to search in the dark. I responded the next morning at 6am and after asking Rachel several questions during a facetime, we narrowed down the location down to where the ring might have flown off his finger. After gridding the area I had a great signal that was  about 8 inches down and on the waters edge. Miraculously it turned out to be this amazing gold nugget ring. It was a sentimental gift from his mother when he graduated high school. The good news was their summer vacation ended up on a positive note and restored faith in humanity that prayer and people will help you. Rachel shared to importance of prayer with their children and I gave them a St Anthony medal to remember this vacation and the miracle that took place.
