😱 LOST IN THE OCEAN, FOUND IN 10 SECONDS! ⏱️💍
How we recovered a priceless platinum engagement ring at Mother’s Beach…
Late Friday afternoon on July 3rd, I received an urgent phone call from Susan.
Earlier that day, her daughter Lucy was in the water at Mother’s Beach in Kennebunk, Maine, throwing a football around with a group of 15–20 family and friends.
As Lucy went to catch the ball, it hit her hand—sending her platinum engagement ring flying straight into the ocean. 🌊💔
The ring instantly disappeared into the waves and sand. 🌊💍
A massive search by the group turned up absolutely nothing, and everyone was feeling completely helpless.
Thankfully, a kind woman on the beach saw them searching and told them about The Ring Finders of Maine . 🔍
As soon as Susan called, Cheryl and I loaded up our gear in record time and took off, towards Kennebunk, via Kennebunkport Maine 🏎️💨
Despite holiday traffic, we arrived in 35 minutes.
Lucy met us and took us right to the spot.
The family knew the exact area, so we quickly set up our grid boundaries.
I started at the southern end of the beach, right where Lucy had been standing when it happened.
Everyone was anxiously watching. Susan walked out to follow right beside me.
I could see the pure worry on her face, and I prayed I could turn that worry into a smile. 🥺
I took my first few steps. About 8 feet into my grid search , my metal detector hit a massive, loud, low tone! 🚨
The Target Identification (TID) was locking in at 17–19 and was incredibly repeatable.
I looked at Susan and told her it was a very, very good target—and only zero to two inches deep.
Could I have actually found this lost platinum ring in under 10 seconds of searching?! ⏱️👀
I took off my headphones and let Susan listen to the signal. I told the group I couldn’t guarantee it, but I was highly confident.
I invited everyone to crowd around and watch the dig.
🥄 Scoop #1: Just sand.
🥄 Scoop #2: As I lifted the wet sand out of the hole, people started SCREAMING! 🎉😭
Right there, sitting perfectly in the sand inside my scoop, was the platinum engagement ring!💍
Cheers, tears, clapping, and massive hugs broke out instantly!
The anxious energy on the beach transformed into a full-on celebration. ✨
As Susan and Lucy hugged, Susan pointed to the scoop and told Lucy to go get her ring.💍
The moment Lucy picked it up, her dad, Alex, stepped in for a massive “Dad Hug.” 🥰
The happy tears were really flowing now! 🥹
❤️
Even strangers passing by on the beach couldn’t help but stop and smile. 😊
Cheryl and I were absolutely beaming, knowing we could bring this family such massive relief.
What started as a holiday disaster turned into a moment of pure triumph—a celebration this family will never forget. 🌟
This is exactly why we do what we do.
There is no better feeling in the world than replacing sheer panic with pure joy.🤩
As we packed up to leave the family to their celebration, I looked at Cheryl and couldn’t help but think:
We really do have the best job in the world. 🕵️♂️❤️🕵️♀️
Remember: “If it matters to you, it matters to us.” 👋💍
✨ A final wish for Lucy: May your upcoming wedding be the beautiful beginning of a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and a bond that shines even brighter than the platinum on your finger! 🥂🍾
