💍 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐄-𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐘!🐝

It was August 1st when the phone rang. On the line was Kaitlin, sounding completely anxious. Her sister, Kelly, had just lost her precious engagement ring somewhere on the beautiful, massive expanse of Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport Maine.

As a detectorist with 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞, I immediately went into investigative mode. 🕵️‍♂️ I started asking my usual checklist of questions to narrow down the search grid:

* Did she lose it in the water or the dry sand?
*
* Did she see or feel the ring slide off?
*
* Was there a specific area where she spent most of her time?
*
* What kind of metal is the ring made of? (I always bring a matching test ring to calibrate my detector and show the client exactly how it works!)
*
What Kaitlin told me next was a scenario I won’t soon forget! 🤯

Earlier in the day, Kelly had been swimming, which naturally shrinks fingers. Later, while relaxing peacefully in her beach chair, a bee or hornet suddenly landed right on her! 🐝❌

Total panic set in. Kelly jumped up, took off running, and began wildly flailing her arms to swat the stinging threat away. She bolted around her family’s beach setup and ran toward the water until the bee was finally gone. 🏃‍♀️💨

It was only when she sat back down in her chair that her heart sank—her engagement ring was gone. To make matters worse, her wedding was just two months away in October! 😭💍

Kelly was fairly certain the ring was somewhere in the dry sand. But with her running in circles and flailing her arms, that ring could have flown off her finger in a 360-degree radius, landing anywhere up to 30 or 40 feet away! The search grid was going to be massive.
Kaitlin mentioned that the whole family was still out on the beach actively searching. I immediately gave her some crucial advice: « Please hold off on disturbing the area as much as possible! Whatever you do, don’t dig any holes. » When helpful searchers dig and refill holes, they can inadvertently bury a shallow ring too deep for a standard detector to scan. 🛑⏳

At that exact moment, Cheryl and I were actually over on Mackworth Island in Falmouth, Maine. We were in the middle of searching for a lost diamond stud earring. Unfortunately, that specific hunt turned up empty.
As soon as the earring search wrapped up an hour later, we packed up our gear. With all the wild details of the bee-panic engagement ring loss fresh in our minds, there was only one thing left to do: hit the road and get to Kennebunkport Maine as fast as possible! 🚗💨

I called Kaitlin back to let her know we were about 45 minutes away. She told me her father would meet us at the beach access path to guide us directly to the spot. Sure enough, the moment Cheryl and I arrived, her dad was right there waiting for us. He escorted us straight down to the scene of the « bee incident. »
That is where we met Kelly. With her wedding coming up fast in October, the stress and anxiety coming from her were palpable. I knew we needed to find this ring, and fast. ❤️💪

Kelly pointed out exactly where her beach chair had been when the bee landed on her. Then, she walked me through her frantic flight path as she tried to escape it. At first glance, it didn’t look like a massive area. But knowing how far a ring can fly when someone is violently flailing their arms, the potential search zone could easily extend 40 feet on either side of that path.

I decided the smartest move was to start scanning the dry sand between their family beach setup and the nearby dune restoration project. As I looked around, two major worries crossed my mind. First, I prayed the ring hadn’t flown into the protected dune grass, which is strictly off-limits. Second, the beach was packed! There were crowds of people with towels, blankets, and beach bags lined up just past the high tide mark. If that ring took flight, it easily could have landed right on someone else’s towel or bounced straight into a stranger’s beach bag. 😱🎒

With the stakes higher than ever, it was time to turn on the detectors and start swinging.
I started with a tight grid search in the area behind their beach setup and right up to the edge of the dune grass. After about 30 minutes of careful sweeping, my detector picked up only a few stray coins and the usual beach trash—but no engagement ring. 🪙🗑️

Next, I moved into their beach canopy. I spent about 10 minutes checking inside, but the metal frame from the canopy makes a thorough search difficult because it interferes with the detector’s signals. It wasn’t a perfect sweep, but I knew I could always come back and try a different approach inside the canopy later in the evening if the primary search areas turned up empty.
Having now cleared the interior of the canopy, the north side, and the west side, it was time to change direction. I shifted my focus to the south side of the canopy and began working my way toward the front, closely tracing the path of her frantic flight to safety. 🗺️🤔

Almost immediately, my headphones lit up with that beautiful, low tone I was hoping to hear! 🎧🎉

I pulled out my handheld pinpointer to narrow down the target, then carefully brushed through the soft sand with my hand. I felt the familiar shape of a ring. Before I even had it pulled completely out of the sand, Kelly and Kaitlin caught sight of it and started jumping up and down in pure joy! 💃✨

Their father and other family members erupted into applause, and the cheering and excitement instantly spread to nearby beachgoers who had been watching the drama unfold. It was an absolutely fantastic moment, seeing so much happiness wash over everyone on that beach! 🥳👏

Kelly and Kaitlin immediately rushed over to give me giant hugs, followed by a firm, grateful handshake from their father as the cheers continued. Kelly couldn’t stop thanking me, flashing one of the biggest, best smiles I have ever seen. 😁❤️

As Cheryl and I packed up and walked away, I was floating on cloud nine. Helping Kelly recover her engagement ring just weeks before her big October wedding is exactly why we love doing this work. There is no better feeling in the entire world. I truly have the best job, and I love what I do!

💍 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇? 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐘’𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐃! 🌊🏖️

With Point Sebago now in our rearview mirror, Cheryl and I were heading to Goose Rocks Beach (GRB) in Kennebunkport Maine. I was on the phone with Brody, who explained the situation. He, his wife, and their young child had been enjoying a beautiful day at GRB. Before heading into the water for a swim, Brody took off his gold wedding ring and placed it safely inside the cupholder of his beach chair.

Once he finished swimming, the family spent several more hours relaxing on the shore before finally packing up their gear. They loaded everything into their vehicle and began the drive back home to the Boston area, preparing for work the next morning.

Then came that all-too-familiar moment of panic. 🛑 Brody remembered his wedding ring. He checked the chair, but the cupholder was completely empty. He rushed back to the beach to search his old setup spot, but as we all know, once under the sand, these rings are very difficult to find.

🧭 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐒 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐃
Brody then gave me the exact location on GRB and told me the ring should be somewhere between the seaweed from the high tide mark and the kayaks, closer to the dune grass. This gave me a solid, specific search window to target.

The late afternoon sun was casting long shadows across Goose Rocks Beach by the time Cheryl and I arrived. Because Brody’s setup had been high up on the dry sand, we didn’t have to worry about incoming tides or shifting water, but the soft, powdery sand of GRB can swallow a gold ring instantly.

I decided to start the grid search near the seaweed and grid search horizontally to the water. I would search north to south and work my way towards the kayaks. There were not many targets at all, that high up on the beach

⚡ 𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐘!
The area wasn’t large and after 10 minutes or so, I heard the low tone I had been hoping for and anticipating! 🎧

As I kept swinging the coil over the area, trying to pinpoint the exact spot under the M15 coil, I could see the outline of a gold ring in the sand. I told Cheryl, « I can see the ring, in the sand, » to which she replied from 10–15 feet away, « I can see it from here! » 😮
I removed the ring from the sand and verified it was actually Brody’s gold wedding ring. I immediately recorded a video for Brody, telling him I was leaving the beach because I found the ring, panning the camera down to reveal his beautiful gold band. 📱✨

🚗 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟏.𝟓-𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍
I sent the video to Brody, who called me back instantly, expressing his immense gratitude. Since he and his family had already left the area, we made plans to return the ring the following weekend. He would make the 1.5-hour drive right back to Kennebunkport Maine to get his ring back.
The next weekend, I drove down to GRB and met Brody for the very first time. I returned his wedding ring with those exact same kayaks in the background! Brody and his wife thanked me immensely, and as we shook hands to say goodbye, all I could think of was: 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒋𝒐𝒃 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅. 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒋𝒐𝒃. ❤️🤠

Cheryl and I were finally ready for a little down time. After rushing down to Old Orchard Beach to recover a sentimental Valentine’s gifted ring, to then rushing to Point Sebago for a successful water recovery, to finally rushing to Kennebunkport for another successful wedding ring recovery… we were absolutely pooped! 💨

Platinum Wedding Ring Lost In The Goose Rocks Beach Sand, Found With A Metal Detector In Kennebunkport, Maine

« 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.

✨ « That Was Like Magic! » ✨ How a Family’s Beach Day Was Saved by a Low Tone & a Helping Hand 🏖️❤️

As Cheryl and I were driving home from a successful ring recovery and return in York, Maine, my phone rang. 📞

The caller identified herself as Molly. She had just lost her platinum wedding ring with diamonds! 💎💍

Molly was at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. She had taken her ring off and placed it in her lap while applying lotion to her children and herself. 🧴🏖️

She forgot about the ring, stood up, and walked away toward the water. As she was walking, she suddenly remembered it! 🌊😮

Molly rushed back to her chair and began searching the sand, but the ring was gone. Her children and husband also searched, but came up empty. 🔍

Realizing they might be burying the ring deeper into the sand, they wisely stopped searching to prevent making it harder to find. It was then that I was called! 📱🚨

Cheryl and I were at a red light in Biddeford, Maine, when Molly phoned. 🚦 I was literally at the intersection of Route 1 and the road that heads straight to Goose Rocks Beach! 🚘

I was closer to the beach right then than if I had gone home and had to drive back. So, I took a sharp right at the intersection and told Molly I would be there in less than 15 minutes! ⏱️💨

Cheryl and I arrived in short order and were promptly met by Molly. She brought us down to where her family had set up on this 250th anniversary of our country’s independence. 🇺🇸🎆

When we arrived, Molly showed me where she had been sitting and where the family had been searching for her wedding ring in the sand. 🏖️🧱

After firing the metal detector up, I did a quick scan of the area… nothing. ❌

I moved inside the tent a little, and one of the children moved a chair out of the way, but the search still yielded nothing. Molly then showed me the path she had taken toward the water to the right of the canopy. ⛺

After 5 minutes, there was still no wedding ring. It was now time to start moving some of the beach bags under the canopy. 👜🎒

I asked Molly my usual rounds of questions:
💬 « Was it left back at the house? »
💬 « Have you checked the beach bags? »

Once I started back up, I searched the exact spot where a teal-colored beach bag had been sitting… 🎒🕵️‍♂️

BANG!!! 💥
A nice, loud, low tone rang out, reading 17-18-19 on the Target Identification (TID) screen! This TID was the absolute perfect number for a woman’s platinum wedding ring. 📈💍

I asked one of Molly’s children if she would like to use the pinpointer to locate the target. She happily agreed, and after a quick tutorial, she found the spot! 🎯🧒

As she dug in the sand with her hand, the ring wasn’t appearing. She dug deeper, and still nothing! 😮

I said, « It can’t be that deep, » and moved in to dig deeper with my hand when Molly’s husband noted, « We did move some sand around. » ⏳🧱

As I dug further, I felt it… and started pulling it out of the sand! 🖐️💎

Molly’s daughter excitedly cried out:
📣 « Mommy’s wedding ring! »

Her husband exclaimed:
📣 « That was down there deep! »

And her daughter added:
📣 « That was like magic! » ✨🧙‍♂️

Molly let out a massive, joyful laugh! 😂❤️

She could finally relax with her beautiful wedding ring back safely on her finger. The stress and tension instantly lifted, replaced by smiles and laughter all around! 🥰💫

With the sun shining brightly, the family could get back to enjoying their beautiful beach day in Kennebunkport. ☀️🌊

This is why we do it. We love our jobs—it’s truly the best job in the world! 🌍❤️

Cheryl and I were just beaming after recovering our second wedding ring in the span of just two hours! To top it off, Gary had also recovered a wedding ring earlier in the morning. 🥳🙌

Three wedding rings recovered in one day—a true « triple crown » or a « three-peat » in the ring-finding business! 🏆🏆🏆

As we walked off the beach, we couldn’t help but think about what a legendary day it had already been.

It was only 2:25 PM, and little did we know… our day wasn’t done just yet! 😉🌅

« Remember, If It Matters To You, It Matters To Us. » ❤️🔍

Lost something valuable in the sand or water? Don’t lose hope!

🌊💍If you or someone you know has lost a ring, keys, or other precious jewelry, stop searching and call Dennis at The Ring Finders of Maine right away. The sooner you call, the higher the chance of recovery! Time is of the essence📞 Call or Text Dennis: (207) 423-3027

Two Sterling Silver Rings Lost In The Ocean Water, Found With A Metal Detector, At Casino Beach, Cape Elizabeth, Maine

juillet 10th, 2026 by Dennis Boothby
from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

🚨 UNBELIEVABLE RESCUE AT CASINO BEACH! 🚨

It all started with a voicemail on June 30th at 12:08 PM…

“Oh, hi, I’m looking to reach somebody from The Ring Finders of Maine… I lost a ring about a day and a half ago at Casino Beach in Cape Elizabeth, Maine… Please give me a call back. The name is Meg.” 📞

🕒 Lost for 3 Days in the Town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine Ocean waves
When I called Meg back, she told me a heartbreaking story. Two very sentimental Sterling Silver rings were gone. 💔

She, her husband, and their young daughter had been enjoying a beautiful day at Casino Beach. When it was time to leave, Meg took her rings off, tucked them into her shirt pocket, and went to wash her hands in the surf. 🌊

As she got back to the beach blanket, she bent over to grab something—and saw one ring fall out of her pocket! She snatched it up, but when she checked for the other two, her heart sank. They were gone. 😭

She and a friend searched the dry sand and the water’s edge for two days straight. Nothing. That is when her friend told her about us! 🕵️‍♂️✨

🌅 The Strategy: Beating the Morning Tide
Gary and I knew we had to act fast. We looked at the charts and determined Meg had been in the shallow water around mid-tide.

📈To stand a chance, we needed to hunt at the absolute lowest tide. We met Meg at the beach at 6:00 AM on Wednesday, July 1st. ⏰ 💨

She showed us the setup area and the path she took to the water. We had a massive grid to cover:

* Gary started on the dry sand where the blanket had been. 🏝️

* I started at the water’s edge, planning to work my way up toward him.
* The Goal: Meet in the middle, then jump out further as the tide dropped!
“Alright, now let’s go find some rings!” 🚀

⚡ Metal Detecting Science & A Sudden Storm
Almost immediately, Gary’s machine screamed with a high conductor reading in the 80s! He dug… a quarter. 🪙

For those wondering about the science:
* Sterling Silver is highly conductive. It rings up between 70 and 90+ on a Target ID (TID).
* Quarters & Dimes ring up in that exact same silver range.
* Gold & Nickels are lower conductivity, ringing up much lower.

To make things harder, this beach was loaded with iron trash—likely rebar from old storm repairs on the concrete seawalls. 🏗️🗑️

After an hour of digging pull tabs, the sky opened up. 🌧️ Gary and I had to take shelter under an overhanging deck for 20 minutes until the storm passed. 🌩️

🎯 Double Target! The « Eureka » Moment
As soon as the rain stopped, we got right back to it. The tide had dropped another 20 feet, exposing brand-new ground. 🌊💨

On my third grid pass along the wet sand, my detector went crazy. It wasn’t just one loud beep—it was a double target! 🔊🔊

One registered in the 80s, the other in the low 90s.
I yelled across the beach: “Gary! I think I found them!” Two silver targets, two missing silver rings. What else could it be?! 🤞

💍 The Miracle in the Sand

Gary ran over with his pinpointer. I scooped a massive chunk of wet sand and threw it onto the beach.

Right there in the hole… a glimmer of silver. AWESOME!!! 🎉

Gary grabbed the first ring!

But the hole was empty when we checked for the second one. My heart skipped a beat. I swung my detector over the pile of loose sand I had just dug up.

Right there on top of the pile, staring back at us, was the second missing silver ring! YES!!! 🥳 🙌

Gary took them down to the surf, washed off the salt and sand, and they shined like brand new. ✨

❤️ An Unforgettable Family Reunion
I snapped a quick photo of the rings resting on some seaweed and texted it to Meg. No response—she was rushing to get ready for work! 📲

When I called her and told her the news, she went dead silent in pure disbelief, then exploded with excitement! 😭🎉

Gary and I drove straight to her house 10 minutes later. Meg and her husband, Tom, came running out, smiling from ear to ear.
Meg told us her young daughter had been heartbroken because she loved those rings and hoped to inherit them one day. They were special gifts from birthdays and Christmases past. ✨👧

Seeing those rings back on Meg’s fingers where they belong is exactly why we do this. 💍❤️

💌 A Final Message from Meg

Later that day, Meg sent us the sweetest text:

“You guys are amazing! Thank you again! Have been spreading the word! Thank you thank you!!” 🥹

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

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

💍 Starfish Ring Rescue at Goose Rocks Beach! ⭐

😭 Heartbroken to Happy: A Magical Maine Beach Recovery! ✨

I received the following text on Monday, June 29th, at 7:02 PM:

💬 “Good evening! We are over at Goose Rocks Beach and my granddaughter lost her brand-new sterling silver ring in the soft sand where we were sitting. Could you help us? She is heartbroken. We are at *** King’s Highway down on the western end. Thank you.”

📞 I called back rather than texting because it is faster to get the details, and it was getting late.

🔦 I prefer to search in daylight but will search with my headlamp if needed. I was able to get right through and talk to Cam, the person who had sent me the text.

🏖️ Cam told me that she and her grandchildren had spent a wonderful Maine summer day at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport Maine. Cam and her eldest granddaughter, Hattie, had just purchased matching sterling silver starfish rings that they each wear.

⭐ While at the beach, Hattie had taken her ring off and placed it on her beach blanket to build sandcastles and go in the water. When it was time to leave, the beach blanket was picked up along with everything else, and the family returned home.

😢 It was only later that Hattie realized she didn’t have her matching silver ring on. Remembering she had placed it on the blanket, Hattie and her grandmother went back to the beach, but their search for the ring was in vain. The ring was now under the sand somewhere.

🚗 I told Cam that I would be right down to help her as soon as I loaded the vehicle up. It would take 30–40 minutes to load up and drive to Kennebunkport Maine. I just had to find this ring.

❤️ Gary and I both know how precious grandchildren are. When a young granddaughter wears a matching ring with you, it primarily symbolizes unconditional love, a lifelong bond, and a special family connection. At this age, children look up to their grandparents as heroes, and wearing matching jewelry is a powerful way to express that close relationship.

🔍 Now, let’s go find Hattie’s special ring!

🚙 Cheryl and I jumped in the vehicle and arrived at Goose Rocks Beach in about 35 minutes. We were promptly met by Cam and her grandchildren, including Hattie.

🏖️ Cheryl and I followed the family down onto the beach where they had set up for the day. The sandcastles were still present nearby. The area was small, and I knew the search would not take long at all. I was just hoping the ring was here and hadn’t been moved out of the area when the blanket was shaken off.

🙋‍♀️ Now, all I needed was a person to man the pinpointer, and Hattie volunteered to assist in finding her ring.

🗺️ So, with my metal detector in hand, the search began. I would search from the western side of the beach and go east, toward the water. If it wasn’t found, I would then turn and head west, repeating this grid search until the ring was located.

❌ On my first pass, I didn’t get even one target.

🎯 At the end of my second pass, I received a nice, loud signal reading 78–79 on my TID (Target Identification) screen. This is definitely the TID for a small sterling silver ring, but also the classic dime TID on my Minelab Manticore metal detector.

🚨 Now it was time for the pinpointer person, and Hattie jumped right into the sand with it. As Hattie expertly moved her pinpointer around the sand, she received a beep and reached down.

✨ Finally, we caught a glimpse of silver, and Hattie grabbed her ring as Cam and the other two grandchildren started clapping in excitement and happiness!

👏🎉 Hattie told me, “Thank you so much,” and gave me a high-five. ✋

💬 Cam said, “We went all over this beach.” But, as you all know, once a ring is in the sand, it is extremely difficult to see and find.”

🤸‍♂️ With everyone happy, smiling, and doing cartwheels, we headed off the beach knowing that Hattie and her grandmother’s special matching sterling silver starfish rings are once again back on both fingers where they belong.

🥰 It was so wonderful to see the joy in Hattie’s eyes and the look on her face as we walked off the beach. All was good in her world once again.

🌍❤️ I love my job—it’s the best job in the world.

🙏 Remember, “If it matters to you, it matters to us.”
