I received a call from Danny who had lost his platinum wedding band in Little Lake St. George in Liberty, while swimming at the cabin he and his wife had rented for the week. Despite the gooey mucky lake bed I was able to locate and recover this ring in about 20 minutes. Happy to help avert a potential vacation disaster and add another one to the book of smiles.
I was referred by fellow Ring Finder Dennis Boothby to Kimberly who had lost 4 rings while vacationing at Popham Beach, and had already returned home to Pennsylvania. When I was initially contacted one the rings had been found in the sand and turned into the Park Ranger. I travelled to the site without optimism as a week had passed and the rings being on a public beach could have easily been found by another detectorist. After about 30 minutes of searching I recovered the rings in the general vicinity of where Kimberly had reported them being lost. I made the phone call to report my success which was well received with a joyous and tearful response.
Jenna was referred by fellow Ring Finder Dennis Boothby after losing her amethyst and diamond engagement ring at the Sheepscot General Store and Farm in Whitfield, during a strawberry picking family outing a week ago. I decided to begin my search in the grassy parking area before venturing into the strawberry patch. After about 10 minutes I located and reunited Jenna with her ring after finding it nestled in the grass and clover near where they had parked. Through tears of joy she explained that the ring had belonged to her fiancées grandmother and the thought of having to explain it being lost to her in-laws had been overwhelming.
I received a call that a bachelorette party weekend had taken a turn for the worst when Amy, a bridesmaid had lost her wedding ring in near by Megunticook Lake. With my tear away policeman costume and Chippendale Speedo, bow tie, and wrist cuff ensemble, unfortunately out to the dry cleaners, I instead grabbed my scuba diving metal detectorist outfit and headed to the scene to bring the mood back up. I was greeted with hoots and hollers upon my arrival and then again when I surfaced from the lake a short time later busting my signature move of holding up the lost ring with a big smile. Remember, if you happen to lose a ring in the lake at a bachelorette party, it should not stay lost in the lake at a bachelorette party. Contact The Ring Finders.
After receiving a call from Erin I headed to Newcastle, ME to locate this cigar band gold ring she lost while swimming at Colby wildlife Refuge. The ring which actually belongs to her husband and is a family heirloom was lost last year. Although they had searched previously with a detector themselves, Erin kept my involvement a secret and couldn’t wait to surprise her husband with the good news at a family BBQ that evening. As you can imagine finding and recovering it from the mudflats was a sticky, gooey, muddy good time with a garden hose shower for me and my equipment as soon as I got home. A portion of the reward received will be directed to the MCST Outdoor Leadership Program.
I was contacted by Jesse who lost his palladium wedding band with diamond while performing garden chores at his home in Warren a few years ago. Despite the onslaught of black fly swarms trying to protect this treasure I was able to locate the ring buried deep in the compost heap.
I received a call from Jeff who had lost his white gold wedding ring while swimming at a friends camp over the summer, asking if I would be able to look for it. Although the late October Sunday was an unseasonably warm day the waters of Bunganut Lake in Lyman had cooled off quite a bit since Jeff lost his ring. The search area was small with about a 10’ maximum depth, but strewn with large boulders which made navigating and detecting a challenge. After about two hours I was able locate and reunite Jeff with his ring which I found at the base of one of the boulders and covered in a couple inches of silt. 
I received a call from Paula who had lost her two tone Black Hills gold ring while doing yard work earlier this summer. The ring was a gift from her husband when his service to our country in the Air Force took him to South Dakota over 40 years ago. I headed to Augusta after work today and was able reunite Paula after a 15 minute search of her lawn.
I received a call last Friday afternoon from Steve after his wife Kathy dropped her diamond and blue sapphire ring into the water from the Boothbay Harbor foot bridge. The water depth was around 5 feet and rising with the flooding tide, but I was able to recover it despite the challenge of the ring being amongst numerous nails, screws, bottle caps and other metallic items under the bridge.
I received a call from Angel who had lost this 14 karat gold wedding band that had belonged to her late mother, while giving her dog a quick rinse in First Machias Lake at the end of her camping trip in unorganized Township – 36 . Normally this would be a 6 hour round trip, but luckily I happened to be spending the weekend at my in-laws camp in Pembroke about an hour and half away although 9 miles of the journey was to be on dirt logging roads. Racing the sunset, I travelled to the campsite and located the ring fairly quickly.
