Platinum Engagement Ring Lost In The Ocean Water, Found With A Metal Detector In Kennebunkport, Maine

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

😱 LOST IN THE OCEAN, FOUND IN 10 SECONDS! ⏱️💍
How we recovered a priceless platinum engagement ring at Mother’s Beach…

Late Friday afternoon on July 3rd, I received an urgent phone call from Susan.

Earlier that day, her daughter Lucy was in the water at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine, throwing a football around with a group of 15–20 family and friends.

As Lucy went to catch the ball, it hit her hand—sending her platinum engagement ring flying straight into the ocean. 🌊💔

The ring instantly disappeared into the waves and sand. 🌊💍

A massive search by the group turned up absolutely nothing, and everyone was feeling completely helpless.

Thankfully, a kind woman on the beach saw them searching and told them about The Ring Finders of Maine . 🔍

As soon as Susan called, Cheryl and I loaded up our gear in record time and took off, towards Kennebunk, via Kennebunkport Maine 🏎️💨

Despite holiday traffic, we arrived in 35 minutes.

Lucy met us and took us right to the spot.

The family knew the exact area, so we quickly set up our grid boundaries.
I started at the southern end of the beach, right where Lucy had been standing when it happened.

Everyone was anxiously watching. Susan walked out to follow right beside me.

I could see the pure worry on her face, and I prayed I could turn that worry into a smile. 🥺

I took my first few steps. About 8 feet into my grid search , my metal detector hit a massive, loud, low tone! 🚨

The Target Identification (TID) was locking in at 17–19 and was incredibly repeatable.

I looked at Susan and told her it was a very, very good target—and only zero to two inches deep.

Could I have actually found this lost platinum ring in under 10 seconds of searching?! ⏱️👀

I took off my headphones and let Susan listen to the signal. I told the group I couldn’t guarantee it, but I was highly confident.

I invited everyone to crowd around and watch the dig.

🥄 Scoop #1: Just sand.

🥄 Scoop #2: As I lifted the wet sand out of the hole, people started SCREAMING! 🎉😭

Right there, sitting perfectly in the sand inside my scoop, was the platinum engagement ring!💍

Cheers, tears, clapping, and massive hugs broke out instantly!

The anxious energy on the beach transformed into a full-on celebration. ✨

As Susan and Lucy hugged, Susan pointed to the scoop and told Lucy to go get her ring.💍

The moment Lucy picked it up, her dad, Alex, stepped in for a massive « Dad Hug. » 🥰

The happy tears were really flowing now! 🥹
❤️

Even strangers passing by on the beach couldn’t help but stop and smile. 😊

Cheryl and I were absolutely beaming, knowing we could bring this family such massive relief.

What started as a holiday disaster turned into a moment of pure triumph—a celebration this family will never forget. 🌟

This is exactly why we do what we do.

There is no better feeling in the world than replacing sheer panic with pure joy.🤩

As we packed up to leave the family to their celebration, I looked at Cheryl and couldn’t help but think:

We really do have the best job in the world. 🕵️‍♂️❤️🕵️‍♀️

Remember: « If it matters to you, it matters to us. » 👋💍

✨ A final wish for Lucy: May your upcoming wedding be the beautiful beginning of a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and a bond that shines even brighter than the platinum on your finger! 🥂🍾

Bradley lost an anchor cross that had been given to him by his grandmother, in the sand at the beach. This was very sentimental to him, and I let him know I was available to come immediately to do a search.

When I arrived Bradley explained to me what he believed happened to cause the loss, and showed me the area. I began the search, and worked in a tight grid, finding a few pieces of trash metal. Then on one pass, I got a very strong signal, dug, and had this beautiful piece of jewelry in my scoop. I held it up for him wherein he became very emotional because of how much it meant to him. I was happy to make his day. It is very satisfying seeing people go from sad to happy in an instant.

Gold Tooth Grill Lost in the Soft Sand, Found and Returned North Myrtle Beach SC

  • from North Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, United States)

This search started just after 1 pm, on July 10, 2026, when I received a text message saying, “Hello, is this Jim Wren.” I responded, “Yes.”  Then I get, “Hi, I was recommended to you off the internet and I was wondering if I could use your help? I have a custom gold tooth set I dropped in the sand, I recovered two of them, but I can’t find the last one. It was 3 pieces all together.” I called her and got additional details, including the address and was on my way.

When I arrived at the address she gave me, I wasn’t close to the beach, so I called her and asked for the resort name, which she provided. I ended up at the resort and had to explain what I was there for to the security guard at the front gate. He seemed reluctant but let me through to park. My second obstacle was the gate guard at the resort’s swimming pool. I made my way through the swimming area and out on the boardwalk looking out at the huge crowd on the beach. I called the young lady, Trejour and told her where I was standing. She ended up being down the beach and she called when she saw me. She showed me the very small area, and I asked for one of the other grill teeth so I could test it. It rang up as a 2-3 on the Equinox 800 VDI (visual display indicator). I made a couple of swings and hit a solid 4 on the VDI. I was able to use my pin pointer to hit the target, but I still had to sift the sand through my fingers to find the missing grill. She was extremely happy when I handed it back to her.

Trejour – Thank you for calling me and allowing me to help find your lost treasure.

Lost ring in Superior Wisconsin lake found!

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

While many were celebrating the 4th of July festivities, this unfortunate incident occurred: a recently engaged couple lost their ring after swimming.

The ring had been placed on a hat before they went into the water because they knew it could be lost while swimming. Unfortunately, the hat was put on before the ring was removed, sending the ring into approximately three feet of water next to a dock. Family and friends searched frantically but were unsuccessful.

After a thorough search, the ring was successfully recovered. Thankfully, this 4th of July incident turned out with a bang.

I want to thank you for choosing me as your ring finder. You were most generous in all aspects not to mention the delicious fresh baked cookies, drinks, and for allowing our granddaughter the opportunity to swim while I searched.

I wish to thank you for choosing me as your ring finder, you were most generous with cookies, drink, and allowing our grand daughter an opportunity to swim while I searched.

I was contacted by Sean who thought he lost his gold wedding band while cutting his grass. We talked and I agreed to come out at his convivence to conduct a search.

Although it took a little while for our schedules to matchup I went out and met Sean who took me around his property where he wanted me to search. It was a large yard and there was a few spots he thought were more likely than others including one on the property line where the neighbor had just removed some trees. Even though some time had passed the grass in the yard was thick and dense and gave me hope that despite a few cuts the ring might still be hidden there. I got started and soon finished with a small portion of the front yard and the backyard. I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to find it as I was starting to run out of real estate. Then in the area of the side yard where the trees had been removed I got a strong repeatable sound. I started poking around with my pin pointer and there is was! Sean came out of the house to meet me, very pleasantly surprised that I had found it. It was great to meet another kind and generous client and be able to reunite him with his lost wedding ring.

Elyse reached out to me about a class ring she lost in front of her house. She was doing something while getting into a car and it flew off her finger. We made arrangements and I went out the next morning to see if I could help find the ring.

I arrived and Elyse showed me where the car was parked and what she thought had happened. She described hearing the ring bounce on the pavement a few times. They were convinced that it must have bounced off the sidewalk and into the yard. She had been tried to locate it prior to my arrival with no luck. I searched the yard and curb strips several times with both a large and small coil and could not locate the ring. I was telling Elyse that I was all but positive that the ring was not in the yard and probably somewhere on the street. It was at that point Elyse went over to the car closest to us and looked underneath. Suddenly she emerged with her ring! Elyse was very excited to have her ring back and ruling out the yard for certain played a crucial part in the recovery. It was great to meet another kind and generous client and have her reunited with her lost ring!

Lost gold earring, recovered from sand, Union Pier, Michigan, Lake Michigan

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)


Brittany was out at the beach with her family, enjoying the perfect day. A football hit her ear, knocking an earring off and into the sand. Her and her family scoured the area, sifting and raking, in hopes of recovering it. No luck. They contacted me, I arrived the next morning and began the search, after scanning the remaining earring. Earrings can be tricky to find, many are invisible to detectors or only give minimal signals. Took like a minute and found what she had lost. Happy family.

A wedding day creates memories that last forever. Bill and Jordan never expected one of those memories would involve searching for a missing wedding band only hours after exchanging vows.
Following their beautiful reception at the Icona in Wildwood Crest, NJ, members of the wedding party headed to the beach to celebrate. During the evening, Bill unknowingly lost his brand-new wedding band in the sand.
Despite searching throughout the night, the ring could not be found.
Fortunately, Jordan’s aunt Nicole had been following Ring Finders South Jersey on Facebook and knew exactly who to call.
After speaking with Jordan, I arrived within minutes. Bill pointed out the general area where the group had gathered the night before.
Beach recoveries require patience, experience, and a systematic approach. Using professional metal detecting equipment, I completed a careful grid search to eliminate every section of sand.
After approximately 35 minutes, my detector produced the unmistakable signal I was hoping for.
Just beneath the sand was Bill’s wedding band.
Watching a groom put his wedding ring back on only hours after his wedding is exactly why I love helping families throughout South Jersey.
Nicole summed it up perfectly:
« John was an absolute marriage saver! My niece’s brand new husband lost his ring on the beach in Wildwood. He made short work of locating the ring and these newlyweds can truly begin their happily ever after! »
If you lose a ring on the beach in Wildwood Crest or anywhere along the South Jersey shore, don’t wait. Wind, tides, and beach traffic can quickly make recovery more difficult.
