Stamford Rings: Miracle recovery in the sand, August 2025

  • from Old Saybrook (Connecticut, United States)

Susan and her son were spending a nice day at the beach and she took off her rings for safekeeping and placed them in her shirt pocket. Later in the day when leaving she went to put them ion while heading out and noticed her pockets were empty. She turned around and went right back to the beach which started a series of events. Her and her son started sifting the sand with a fishnet and her husband arrived and stayed until closing searching with a small detector.

They decided that outside help was needed and looked up @theringfinders.com and got my name. I cam the next morning and began my search in an area we had marked off. After gridding the area for a short time, I expanded the search a bit further and got my first solid hit and a platinum wedding band emerged from the sand and ringed with diamonds. Not the task was to find the second ring. After an extensive search in the immediate area there was no engagement ring to be found. We relived the previous day’s activities, simulating sitting in the beach chair and removing her shirt to see how a simulated ring would fall out.

I’ve now gone back three times and during the last attempt had the assistance of another detectorist and possible future ring finder and still the ring is not to be found. It’s very possible that it had been picked up. The couple purchased a detector and giving them a few tips they will continue the search. During the last search, she found a ladybug sitting on a shell and gave it to me for good luck. When I first met her, I had given her a St Anthony medal and in hopes that prayer and divine intervention would again help recover both rings. It was a miracle we found one and the other may require another miracle.
