Lost, Found, Returned Oura Ring a Birthday Present Sandwich, MA by Richard Browne

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 12, 2025 Lost in beach sand just after applying sunscreen and trying to pick it up and put it back on. It just slipped off and into the sand. Several fellow beach goers searched to no avail. A Google search lead Imari to TheRingFinders.com and my phone. My usual response put Imari at ease and knowing I would be there within a half an hour. I made it by one minute.

A quick review of how the ring want missing and a recheck of its position on the beach with a cellphone application got me into the area. The first grid was not holding the ring so it was off to the second position that the application showed as the rings location. I admitted along the way that I was unsuccessful for finding the only other Oura ring I had searched for. But there was a good reason, it had been lost inside a car and the application defaulted to the last ping and not the current location. I guess that the application has improved in the last two years.

Back to the search… Dang, believe it or not, but Imari’s footprint was right on the precise spot that my detector alerted me to a buried object. And, yes, the object was the Oura Ring.

A few pictures were taken and a few detecting stories relayed before I was given two chocolate chip cookies that I said I would take home and make into an ice cream sandwich. As good as I know it will be, I will have to admit that the Ice Cream Sandwich in Sandwich, MA will be hard to beat. They make fresh cookies each morning and stuff with 4-5 scoops of you favorite flavors of ice cream. A must for anyone visiting Cape Cod

Sunshine Diamond Earring Found and Returned by Richard Browne in Dennis Ma

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)

July 7, 2025 Dana lost an earring, a sharp eyed swimmer had found the wire half and returned it to Dana. Dana also snorkeled for some time but could not find the diamond studded sunshine disk.

The old saying about “When it rains, it pours.” was surely true on this day. I had been called to find a ring that was lost on the 3rd of July when the text to help to find Dana’s sunshine lost in a fresh water pond showed up on my phone. It was first come, first served and I was off to the salt water beach. Found the ring and off to the fresh water pond. On the way I lost contact with Dana as her cell phone’s battery was depleted. So I was clueless as to the location in the pond the earring had been lost. I started the grid search and found only one piece of tin foil and a small pendent. I left the water and did a grid search of the sand area. After finding only one more target, a penny, I went back to the car to see if there was any phone response from Dana. Low and behold there was from Dana’s father. In the text there was a picture of the one earring Dana had. I could not believe it but the “charm” I had found on my way out of the water to the sand of the beach was THE earring, shining gold with diamonds.

A text and within 5 minutes Dana and her father arrived to claim the earring.

I was getting ready for my next call, and read Andrew’s last text that read “Rick, thank you so much we found it! There was a guy with a heavy duty metal detector… He found it in about 15 minutes. That was good news for me as NOAA was transmitting a severe thunder storm warning. Time to head home for the safety of the house, out of danger’s way and dinner.
