Men’s Lost Wedding Band Found and Returned, Woods Hole, Massachusetts
Mark was enjoying a swim at the beach, only to find that his gold wedding band had disappeared. His wife did some searching on the Fabulous Falmouth web page and discovered the searches and recoveries I’d made with The RingFinders. Early the next day I received her call for help. Fortunately, low tide was coming up in a couple of hours, similar to the timing of the loss the previous day, so I arranged to meet Mark at the beach to do a search. He described how he had put lotion on his hands before going in the water, and he felt confident that the slippery lotion and shrinkage in the cool ocean accounted for the ring making an unwanted exit from his finger at some point during his swim. We identified the boundaries of a substantial area where the ring might be and I headed out to do a search. I started shore-parallel swaths at the deep edge of the area and slowly worked toward the beach, keeping ahead of the incoming tide. A frustratingly large number of solid targets turned out to be aluminum trash, but after about four hours I dug a sweet gold signal and his beautiful ring came up in my scoop. Mark had left an hour or so earlier, so I called him and he returned to collect his ring. It was a great to see the big smile on Mark’s face, and it was another great day for The RingFinders!

















A heavy thunderstorm had just blown over the island and another round was on its way. Just as the rain slacked off between storms I got a phone call from Jeremy who was visiting from Florida. It was their anniversary and he had just given his wife Jenny a beautiful new diamond wedding set. As the storm blew in, they were frantically trying to get their beach tent and belongings off the beach and under the shelter of the house. Jenny told me she remembered wiping her hands on her pants and then realizing the slightly too big diamond ring was no longer on her finger. They had combed through the sand for about an hour before finding my Ringfinders bio and giving me a call.
