4 July 2025. Jeffrey and Jocelyn had been married only 4 days when Jeffrey’s wedding band slipped into the ocean as he was scrubbing poison ivy from his fingers. Fortunately Anthony and Anishaa, a couple for whom I recovered a ring last August at the same beach, were nearby and they heard his plight and told him to call me. I was just returning from another call but was able to meet Jeffrey at the beach a short time later. He was quite specific about where and how he lost his ring, so the search was straightforward and I made the recovery within a few minutes from cobbles and gravel in knee-deep water. There were cheers all up and down the beach, and needless to say a huge smile from Jeffrey. Anthony and Anishaa came over and we all had a mini-celebration/reunion. It was great to experience this serendipitous circumstance where one Ringfinder success led to another almost a year later!
My immediately prior call was to find joined wedding/engagement rings thought to be lost in a 10′ x 10′ area of dry sand at a different beach. I made a thorough search of the area as well as a wide, surrounding area with no result. I explained that the ring must have come off somewhere else, perhaps in a bag or at another location before they arrived at the beach, even though the owner was certain that the beach location was correct. As it turned out, they called later to let me know that they found the rings in front of their beach house where the owner had been putting on sunscreen. The moral of the story: Memory can be tricky, so be sure to check out other possibilities, no matter how unlikely they may seem!

I was in the parking lot when I heard cheers coming from the beach. I was suddenly flooded with emotion as my brain connected what the cheers meant. I was sobbing as Brian and Jeff came in to view, triumphant! We are so grateful to Brian, who gave his time and expertise. To Anishaa and Anthony for being on the beach and connecting us with Brian. And a special mention to Brian’s wife for picking up the phone, and for reminding us that marriage is about understanding and supporting your partner (even when they’re running off with their metal-detector on the 4th of July)! Unforgettable experience and a happy ending to our honeymoon! -Jocelyn
Brian, the care and attention you gave us on a holloday, coming out of your way for a stranger to help them out, is a true testament to who you are and we are so thankful for your help!
The coincidence of Anthony and Anisha being on the beach at the same time we were struggling to find my lost ring, is something that speaks to the magic of human interaction and deep unseen connections..
We are honored to have met you and look forward to seeing you again.
We wish you and your family all the best through life and we are here for you should you need something someday!!
All the best to all of you reading and following here.
Jeffrey and Jocelyn – I’m so happy that I was able to help you. It made for one of my best 4th of July’s ever! Again, congratulations and many happy returns. All the best, Brian.
And I forgot to add, it was extra special because I got to see Anthony and Anishaa again. Thanks so much to them for putting Jeffrey and Jocelyn in touch with me so that I was able to do the search!
