Craigville, MA Lost Wedding Ring Delays Trip Home

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

August 3, 2025 Mike and his wife were about to leave for home at the end of their vacation after one last dip to remember the great vacation by. The crowning event was to take a splash in Nantucket Sound even tho Mike was not fond of swimming. Little did anyone know their trip home would be delayed by Mike’s unfortunate loss of his yellow gold wedding band (that has more sentimental than most as it is a hand-down from his father) in waist deep water.

When I got a call for help my first request was to have Mike at the beach to put me on the right location in the very large swimming area. The first area description of: half way between two points and less than shoulder depth really needed, to be a but more precise. Both Mike and his wife Amy had their own idea of were the loss occurred. After lessening to the two search parameters, Jim, a visiting friend of mine, and I started to search first perpendicular to the shore then parallel to the shore. Not finding the ring we opened up the search area, still with no results. We then kind of went our own way with thoughts of our own where the ring might be. In a little over an hour of searching and the finding of a toe ring and a little heart ring passed before I found myself within the original search area when I heard the detector’s tone made when passed over a gold object. One scoop and I had the object I was searching for, Mike’s sentimental ring.

I have to say that Mike had a large support team present as Jim and I were searching. There was great fan-fare when I approached the group that was waiting for me on the beach. The one that had the most attention was Amy, as she was pregnant and now had one more joyful story to her yet to be born child. Lot of stories, pictures and plans on how not to loose a ring at the beach passed among all of us. Great family, friends and now memories along with best wishes for a safe trip home. I was off to my car, to take a sip of water, call my wife, before going back to the water for some recreational metal detecting with Jim. What a wonderful day with great beach going weather. It left everyone feeling complete and ready for a safe trip home.

KUUIPO – Hawaiian for – “My Sweetheart” Ring Lost/Found at: Craigville, MA and returned

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

From Hawaii, 20 years ago, to August of 2018, just after a Cape Cod fishing trip and an afternoon splash in the surf, the Kuuipo ring having been to many places and seeing numerous memorable occasions it decided to take a rest in King Neptune’s domain. From being purchased as a promissory ring in Hawaii to beneath the waters of a popular beach the ring stayed hidden and resting for over a year until I brought it back into the sunshine. Thinking that the uniqueness of the ring would draw some attention if posted on social media, I made a posting. As luck would have it, Luke, another RingFinder, had been contacted and searched for the ring to no avail over the past year. The news of the ring being found spread swiftly and Luke picked up on the finding and called with the owner’s information. I then made contact with Brina and made arrangements for the ring’s return.

A couple of days later the ring was reunited with Brina who passed on the story of the ring and why it was no longer a complete circle. It had been cut off a finger several years ago but not by choice.

Although a lost object may not be initially found, there is always hope that someday it will be found and through our network of friends and the RingFinders the owner will receive the sentimental item back. Luke and I have done this in the past and look forward to our next return.
