Bluff Point State Park Groton CT Men’s Wedding band returned 2025
July 5, 2025 Lauren and her husband wanted to go to Bluff Point state park on the fourth of July to watch the fireworks display. They decided to go for a swim and Lauren felt her wedding rings getting loose from the cold water and decided to go back to shore to leave them on the blanket. her husband took his ring off at the same time and while handing it to her it dropped into the ocean at about chest level. Lauren quickly searched for best options and considered buying a detector but realized that an underwater detector would be very expensive and being an engineer knew that there would be a learning curve. She then started internet searches for what to do about lost rings and that led her to theringfinders,com she called the two people listed and when I answered she entrusted me with coming to look for it and I was there within a half hour. I knew the tide was an important factor and raced to be there before it changed. I did not realize it was going to be a three-mile walk to get to the secluded beach spot. But she had marked the location beautifully with a driftwood log. When we arrived, there was a family sitting there and we asked if e could share the spot as a base for the recovery. Lauren described the circumstances from the previous night and I jumped into the water and began the search. Within minutes I had a sweet signal and lifted my first scoop. The signal was still strong and in the hole. A second scoop and the signal disappeared, and I knew it was in my scoop. I walked to shore and dumped the scoop and then used my trusty pin pointer to isolate the ring. I called her over and had her lift the ring from the sand and then the tears of joy started to flow with an exclamation « I can’t believe it!! » The nearby family joined in the celebration and were shocked. We then took some pictures and made a video reenactment to share with her family. I thought it was so nice that Lauren had also packed us sandwiches for a treat. She called her husband at work and shared the good news and was still in stunned and in awe that we found it so quickly. Funny thing she said she was going to bring a kitchen colander and start scooping the sand if I had not been able to come and find it. That may have taken quite a while, so she was happy that I had agreed to come so quickly. She had been told by others that it was probably a lost cause, so this made her that much happier with my finding it. Our prayers to Saint Anthony were answered glory to God.



Sara was vacationing at Ft. Walton Beach Florida when she lost her wedding rings. She was able to find the wedding band but not the engagement ring. She had returned home to Illinois when she called asking if I could find her lost ring. She sent me an aerial with an outline of the area she lost it and a photo of her engagement ring. The next morning i searched the area and found her ring within 8 or 10 feet of where she predicted but was 5 or 6 inches deep. The next day Sara and I did a face time call with the folks at my local UPS store and sent her ring home secure, insured and with in person delivery. Sara was very happy her ring is back where it belongs!
