Platinum Wedding Ring Lost On Goose Rocks Beach Kennebunkport, Maine Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

At 11:30am on August 11,2023, I received a text that stated a wedding ring had been lost at Goose Rocks Beach, in Kennebunkport, Maine. And then “Are you able to help”? I immediately called back and told him I absolutely could  help. I asked if the ring had been lost in the water or the dry sand? Up on the beach in the dry sand, was his reply. He then told me that she had 3 rings in the pocket of her beach dress and they had fallen out. Two of the rings had been found already, one in the sand and another had landed on a beach chair. However, a wedding ring was still missing and was not found by anyone in the group. I told him that I would leave immediately and be there in 30 minutes +- a few minutes. He texted me the GPS address and my wife and I were off to Kennebunkport. We arrived at the address in about 25 minutes and was met at the address by Chip. Chip explained that the family was still at the beach, which is just down the block and across the street, a 5 minute walk. Once we arrived at on the beach, Chip and Allie (owner of the lost wedding ring, explained how the rings had been lost and where within the 10’ X 15’ area they thought the ring was lost. I fired up the Minelab CTX-3030 and made my first swing.  At the end of the very 1st swing, I received a nice low tone and a 12-05 reading on the CTX-3030. I then asked Allie what type of metal the ring was made of. Platinum was her reply and I told her that this target was promising. I pulled out my pin pointer and located the target. I then moved some sand away with my hand, felt around and pulled out The Platinum Wedding Ring. Allie was very happy and relieved to have her ring back and I also had a big smile that I am still wearing.

 

Gold Wedding Ring Lost In A Maine Lake Found With A Metal Detector

  • from Old Orchard Beach (Maine, United States)

On Sunday evening, August 6, 2023, I received a text from Andy. In Andy’s own words, “Hi Dennis. I’m Andy. I found your contact info on ring finders. I lost my gold wedding ring today in Bunganut Pond in Lyman. I was hoping you could do the impossible”.  I called Andy back immediately and asked him a few questions about depth of water and if this a private property or public beach. Andy told me it was a public beach and the ring was lost in waist deep water. My concern now was that I would have less than an hour’s worth of sunlight left, once I arrived at Bunganut Pond, in Lyman, Maine. It was a 30-35 minute drive to get there. Andy explained that he lived 2 hours away in Nashua, NH and needed to get back home and would prefer to not stay the night but would, if necessary. I really didn’t want Andy and his wife to have to stay an extra night. I told him we would be there as soon as possible. My wife and I loaded my Excalibur II, my long handled scoop and off we went. We arrived at the pond at 7:20pm and I was in the water at 7:25pm. Andy and I immediately headed to the spot he thought he lost his wedding band. After a few minutes, with only 1 target (a piece of aluminum), Andy asked his wife if the area we were in looked correct from her vantage point on the shore. She told us she thought it was about 15-20 feet to our right, as we faced the shore. Andy’s wife then entered the water and went to the area she thought it was in. As I was working my to the area, still no targets. When I got to the area she thought the ring was in, I received a very solid sounding target. I put the scoop in and pulled it up, shaking the sand out, into the water. I got a great view a a new shiny gold ring in the bottom of the scoop. It took all of 7 minutes , in the water to find it. I had Andy’s ring and his wife and he started screaming with joy. I love this job.
Andy and his wife were very very elated and couldn’t contain their excitement of getting Andy’s ring back. Andy told us that he and his wife were just married, in March, less than 6 months ago. Here is wishing them many many years of love and happiness.
