Bristol Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts: A Lost Ring Found by Ring Finder
Melissa, with great hope in finding her husband’s wedding ring she had dropped in the fluffy sand, took a local lifeguard’s advice to call “Rick, he is amazing at finding lost rings.” The lifeguard remembered me when I had help find another lost ring. All was great for me to go and follow Melissa’s description of where on the beach she was when the ring was dropped.
This was the second time for Ezequiel losing a ring. His first wedding band was lost in the water and never found. Ezequiel promised not to wear the replacement ring into the water. Keeping his promise he took the ring off and gave it to Melissa. Now they both had a bad moment with this wedding band on a beach.
I arrived a few minutes before Melissa and Ezequiel arrived at the beach. I went straight to the area that was described to me. A few words with the lifeguard that remembered me and my search began. It was not but less than a minute and I had the ring in my scoop. Again an amazingly quick recovery. Next I had to find the owner. In the parking lot there they were, waiting for me.
I was told the ring would never see a beach again. It will be left in a safe place when the family with smiles frolic in the summertime sandy adventures and return home with the same smiles.

Miranda was spending the day enjoying the North Carolina sun and removed her ring before going for a dip into the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn’t until after they had left she realized the ring was lost. When she returned to search, someone told her there was a detectorist hunting the same area she had set up earlier. After an online search she messaged me and asked if
Rhonda and her friends were having a Girls Getaway week at Emerald Isle, NC. The young women were soaking their toes along the coastline and moving their chairs back with the incoming tides. Trying to be safe, the rings were placed in a zipper pouch before heading into the water. It wasn’t long after that the pouch had a hole in the bottom and the rings slipped away into the surf. Ashlee, a friend in the group, found my metal detecting service and gave me a call. After I heard the description, and knew the tide was now receding, I decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, the beach had a steep slope leading down into some powerful waves. I did my best to cover the area and was tossed off balance more than once. After not finding the rings, I told the party I will return about 1 hour before low tide and try again. Trying once again at this time period was very beneficial. With some directional help from the girls, I walked straight down towards the waterline and found both rings in the wet sand and within 5 minutes of each other! I know more than one of them thought the rings were gone forever!
