Diamond « Eternity » Rings Recovered on the Beach for Owner, Mashpee, Massachusetts
A beautiful day on the beach looked like it might be a disaster for Adrienne when she lost a pair of beautiful diamond ‘eternity’ rings in the dry sand on the beach. Fortunately, she found the Ring Finders online, and I was able to meet her at the beach about 45 minutes after receiving her call. She described how the rings had been on a towel on her beach chair and probably fell off when she moved the chair to another location 12 or 15 feet away. It took only a few minutes to find the first ring, but the second one was stubborn. I went over the area 2 or 3 times in different directions but could not get a signal. Finally, I re-checked the signal from the first ring and noted that the ring in a vertical orientation gave no signal at all but was detected in a horizontal position. This is not uncommon, though it’s usually not a problem because typically a ring gets buried in a relatively horizontal orientation. So I moved the sand around in the area where the first ring was found, and soon picked up a signal and had the second ring in my scoop. Needless to say, there were big smiles all around. I’m very happy that I was able to help you, Adrienne, and I hope you’ll enjoy those rings and tell the story of the Ring Finders for many years to come!


Ally called and said her husband lost his wedding ring about an hour prior, throwing a football down by the waters edge with his son. She knew the general area and had it marked well, but was concerned because the tide was rising, and there was a rough surf from the south east winds that were blowing. I told her I could be there in about 30 minutes, and rather than waiting for the next low tide, we needed to get moving ASAP, or it would most likely get pulled down past the drop off where it would get buried and out of reach of my machine. When I arrived Ally and Tom discussed how the ring flew off, and that she had briefly seen it while looking, but the waves made it quickly disappear. There was quite a huge audience of sunbathers watching, as I started my search in waste deep water, figuring that was the most likely spot the ring would have settled. The waves were making this a very challenging recovery, but in just a short while the ring was in my scoop. All eyes were on me and I knew I had to get it on the first scoop, or it would possibly slide down below the drop-off. I walked up out of the waves, held up the scoop, and Ally, Tom, and their family were shocked, along with the audience patiently waiting to see the ring. Another fantastic recovery.
