I came across a class ring. Us ring finders know that every ring holds a story. This ring had belonged to a young man named Tren who tragically passed away right after graduating. I was able to contact the family and his younger brother received the ring back on behalf of the family on this the 25th anniversary of Trens passing. It was an honor to serve the family in returning such a special sentimental ring.
On Monday night, November 18th, I started receiving Facebook notifications, for both my personal Facebook account, Dennis Boothby and for The Ring Finders of Maine. People were tagging me about a lost wedding ring that had posted to the Bidd Saco Group Facebook Page. I read the post about the lost ring, in Saco, but no location was given, by the poster, Karla Ann. This is exactly what someone should do, when posting about a lost piece of jewelry. You never want to give the location of a lost piece of jewelry, that was lost in a public place. Even though 99% of people are honest, there is always that 1% that is out for themselves. Only reveal the location to someone you can trust, including me, The Ring Finders Of Maine, I will be happy to help. If you post about a piece of lost jewelry, you may mention the town and say that you lost your ring and describe the ring. Hopefully someone honest will find it and turn it in.
So, after reading the post by Karla Ann, I sent her a PM and made a comment, on her post, mentioning all the comments mentioning me. My comment said
“Thank you everyone, for thinking of me and the referrals. I truly appreciate your support ❤️🙏
Karla Ann, If there is anything I can do, please message me on my Facebook Page, The Ring Finders of Maine or call me at 207-423-3027.
Thank you and prayers for you getting your wedding ring back 🙏🙏🙏”
I did hear back from Karla Ann and she replied
“Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your reply.
We think the ring was dropped in a parking lot. Not buried at the beach or anything.
We went back to look for it.
It was the lot at the Saco heath preserve, my husband changed a flat tire. Thinks it was lost at that time”.
After some more messaging back and forth with Karla Ann I told her I would absolutely search for her husband, Naz’s, wedding ring, first thing in the morning, as soon as I dropped my 7 year old granddaughter, off at school. Once I walked her to school, I came home and immediately drove to the Saco Heath Preserve. I parked opposite of where they had parked, to change the tire. I started up my metal detector and decided to search all the leaves, along the edge of the dirt parking lot. Nothing found but the usual trash of pull tabs and foil. When I reached the corner of the parking lot, I turned around and took a 1/2 step, to my left. I would now be searching the actual gravel parking lot. As I started across the parking lot, I received the low tone I love to hear and I was between a 1/4 to 1/2 way across the lot. The signal was coming from underneath a fallen leaf. I moved the leaf and there was a bright yellow gold ring, staring back at me. I had found Naz’s ring in less than 10 minutes. I immediately made a video and sent it to Karla Ann and showed her the ring. We made plans to meet back at the Saco Heath Preserve at 10:30am and Naz would be getting his ring back.
Once Cheryl and I arrived, we saw Naz and Karla Ann already there. After introducing ourselves, I handed a very happy Naz, his ring back. Karla Ann was fighting back tears and I could see her eyes were watering up. Always a great feeling to to able to help people out with such a sentimental piece of jewelry.
I asked how the ring became lost and Naz told us that he and Karla Ann had come down to Saco, to have their snow tires mounted, for the upcoming winter. Once the left the Rt 1 Saco dealership, they were heading home to Waterboro, when they got a flat tire. They pulled into the parking lot on the Saco Heath Preseve and Naz changed the flat tire. Once back in the vehicle and on the road, Naz noticed his wedding ring was missing. They went back to where they had changed the tire, but didn’t see the wedding ring in the area, around the car. Not knowing if he lost the ring, prior to the flat tire, they drove back to the dealership and searched there. Still no ring was found at the dealership. That’s when Karla Ann made the Facebook Post.
As we were exchanging the ring, Naz showed us where he had parked his vehicle, to change the tire and asked where I found the ring. Where I found the ring was approximately 15-20 feet from where the tire was changed. Naz and Karla Ann hadn’t searched that far out because they thought the ring would be right next to the vehicle. It appears that the ring either rolled away, when he lost it or it flung off his finger. When the ring was found, it did not appear to have been run over or hit by a car.
After saying goodbye to Naz and Karla Ann, they decided to walk the trail of the Saco Heath Preserve. A beautiful easy trail everyone should try. Me, I am told by my better half that I need to mulch leaves. I’d rather be putting smiles on peoples faces, like Karla and Naz, than do yard work but that is where we are at. Congratulations Karla & Naz and thank you for placing your trust in me, The Ring Finders of Maine😀
While haying and caring for her horses her ring came off her finger, unfortunately she wasn’t sure where it was lost as she had done several activities prior to the loss. Three hours after haying she realized her beautiful 14K ring was missing. After a short search the ring was found just under a fence where her horses are boarded. I appreciate you calling us to return your ring, when I saw the picture prior to the hunt I knew it was irreplaceable! Thank you!

… I received a call from Zachary , who lost his platinum ring while he was at an engagement beach party in Newport Beach, CA. It was a large party with over 100 people attending. They were set up for a whole day on the beach with several shade canopies and umbrellas. Also many towels and beach chairs set up for the event.
I was a bit concerned that he wasn’t sure where the ring came off his finger and so many people were still here at the general area of the loss, which would make it difficult to do a proper grid search. Also, I felt walking through the group of party goers might interfere with the celebration.
I told Zachary that it would be no problem to come back after the party is over. That was the plan, except while I was here, we decided to scan a couple easy to detect areas that he suspected the ring might be.
After pulling out my detector, I got all kinds of attention from many of the people at the party. At the second spot he directed me only 10 ft.x 10ft. square. I got the unique sound of a platinum wedding band. Boom !! Successful recovery almost before anybody knew I was searching for a lost ring.
I can help you, call for information or prompt service at your location. “I WILL TRY ANYWHERE” Stan the Metal Detector Man.. 949-500-2136

If you lost a ring or any type of jewelry in the beach or in the water, give me a call day or night rain or shine. I can head out and help you recover your last item. In the case above, it was both I was called out to the Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne, where he lost his ring while playing volleyball in the water. By the time he called me, it was nighttime, and there was a light drizzle. He was leaving the next morning, and the ring had to be found before he left. So I gridded the whole area after about an hour I was able to find it. He and his friends were shock and so thankful.
again, if you’ve lost something, give me a call or text. Please check out my other post of over 100 successful recovery.
I received a call from a gentleman who had lost his wedding ring while driving a combine out in a corn field. He had stopped to stretch his legs and dust himself off and that’s when he felt his ring fly off into the cornfield. I happened to be out of town at the time he called but went out to the location shortly after returning from visiting family.
It took me two trips due to the weather but I was able to find and return the newly weds wedding band. He’d only been married a few weeks before the ring was lost. Another happy camper thanks to the RingFinders.

Berenice was raking leaves and doing year end yard work. After dark she called it a night. Later inside the house she noticed her beautiful wedding ring of one year was not on her finger. Her husband found me online and gave me a call. Long story short it’s back where it belongs.
Hana lost her engagement ring while raking leaves. They rented a metal detector but couldn’t come up with the ring. She contacted me and once I arrived at their home, it took about 20 minutes of hunting to find it hiding in a leaf bag.

Alex and his family were at a local sports park, and after tossing a ball for the last time, he pulled his hand out of his baseball glove and inadvertently pulled his wedding ring off his finger in the process. They looked around the grass for quite some time and finally gave up and went home. An online search brought Alex to TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. 40 minutes later, we met at the site and he gave me the story, description of the ring, and the approximate 50 foot squared search area. I set up some cones and got to work gridding. As most of you know, parks usually have a ton of stuff buried in the grass, and this place was no exception. Slowly, I made my way back and forth across the suspected search area, checking out dozens and dozens of targets. After about 45 minutes and an assortment of trash later, I got another good sounding target in the same « gold ring » range. I looked down, and sitting there in plain sight was his ring. Alex was walking around with his eyes to the ground in hopes of spotting his ring. I called him over and pointed to the ground in front of me. Alex was super happy to get his ring back, called his wife with the good news, and I got a big thank you from her too. A pleasure to meet you and thank you for the reward.
