Platinum and Diamond Wedding Ring Lost In The Goose Rocks Beach Sand, Found In Kennebunkport, Maine With A Metal Detector
โจ “That Was Like Magic!” โจ How a Family’s Beach Day Was Saved by a Low Tone & a Helping Hand ๐๏ธโค๏ธ
As Cheryl and I were driving home from a successful ring recovery and return in York, Maine, my phone rang. ๐
The caller identified herself as Molly. She had just lost her platinum wedding ring with diamonds! ๐๐
Molly was at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. She had taken her ring off and placed it in her lap while applying lotion to her children and herself. ๐งด๐๏ธ
She forgot about the ring, stood up, and walked away toward the water. As she was walking, she suddenly remembered it! ๐๐ฎ
Molly rushed back to her chair and began searching the sand, but the ring was gone. Her children and husband also searched, but came up empty. ๐
Realizing they might be burying the ring deeper into the sand, they wisely stopped searching to prevent making it harder to find. It was then that I was called! ๐ฑ๐จ
Cheryl and I were at a red light in Biddeford, Maine, when Molly phoned. ๐ฆ I was literally at the intersection of Route 1 and the road that heads straight to Goose Rocks Beach! ๐
I was closer to the beach right then than if I had gone home and had to drive back. So, I took a sharp right at the intersection and told Molly I would be there in less than 15 minutes! โฑ๏ธ๐จ
Cheryl and I arrived in short order and were promptly met by Molly. She brought us down to where her family had set up on this 250th anniversary of our countryโs independence. ๐บ๐ธ๐
When we arrived, Molly showed me where she had been sitting and where the family had been searching for her wedding ring in the sand. ๐๏ธ๐งฑ
After firing the metal detector up, I did a quick scan of the area… nothing. โ
I moved inside the tent a little, and one of the children moved a chair out of the way, but the search still yielded nothing. Molly then showed me the path she had taken toward the water to the right of the canopy. โบ
After 5 minutes, there was still no wedding ring. It was now time to start moving some of the beach bags under the canopy. ๐๐
I asked Molly my usual rounds of questions:
๐ฌ “Was it left back at the house?”
๐ฌ “Have you checked the beach bags?”
Once I started back up, I searched the exact spot where a teal-colored beach bag had been sitting… ๐๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
BANG!!! ๐ฅ
A nice, loud, low tone rang out, reading 17-18-19 on the Target Identification (TID) screen! This TID was the absolute perfect number for a woman’s platinum wedding ring. ๐๐
I asked one of Mollyโs children if she would like to use the pinpointer to locate the target. She happily agreed, and after a quick tutorial, she found the spot! ๐ฏ๐ง
As she dug in the sand with her hand, the ring wasnโt appearing. She dug deeper, and still nothing! ๐ฎ
I said, “It canโt be that deep,” and moved in to dig deeper with my hand when Mollyโs husband noted, “We did move some sand around.” โณ๐งฑ
As I dug further, I felt it… and started pulling it out of the sand! ๐๏ธ๐
Mollyโs daughter excitedly cried out:
๐ฃ “Mommyโs wedding ring!”
Her husband exclaimed:
๐ฃ “That was down there deep!”
And her daughter added:
๐ฃ “That was like magic!” โจ๐งโโ๏ธ
Molly let out a massive, joyful laugh! ๐โค๏ธ
She could finally relax with her beautiful wedding ring back safely on her finger. The stress and tension instantly lifted, replaced by smiles and laughter all around! ๐ฅฐ๐ซ
With the sun shining brightly, the family could get back to enjoying their beautiful beach day in Kennebunkport. โ๏ธ๐
This is why we do it. We love our jobsโitโs truly the best job in the world! ๐โค๏ธ
Cheryl and I were just beaming after recovering our second wedding ring in the span of just two hours! To top it off, Gary had also recovered a wedding ring earlier in the morning. ๐ฅณ๐
Three wedding rings recovered in one dayโa true “triple crown” or a “three-peat” in the ring-finding business! ๐๐๐
As we walked off the beach, we couldn’t help but think about what a legendary day it had already been.
It was only 2:25 PM, and little did we know… our day wasnโt done just yet! ๐๐
“Remember, If It Matters To You, It Matters To Us.” โค๏ธ๐
