Lost Wedding Ring
Lost Wedding Ring found!
It all started with a missed call from Jack. He reached out to me on behalf of his wife, Aly, who had lost her wedding ring at the shoreline the previous evening. As a Ring Finder, every call is an opportunity to help restore something truly precious—and I was determined to help.
Jack provided me with detailed photos and described where he thought the ring had slipped off Aly’s finger. Based on his information, I planned to search at first light, when the tide and beach would be at their quietest.
At sunrise, I arrived at the beach, fired up my XP Deus 2 metal detector, and began to grid the sand systematically. After a while, I started to unearth several fishing weights—common clutter in beach hunting. Suddenly, my detector coil died. My heart sank for a moment, but I hustled back to my truck, hoping I had a spare. Luckily, I found an extra coil, swapped it out, and got back to work.
Returning to the search area, I continued gridding carefully. After a few more targets, I dug out another fishing weight. I rechecked the hole, and the detector sang once more. As I lifted my scoop, there it was—a beautiful ring gleaming in the morning sun!
There was no one else around on the beach, so I headed back to my truck, eager to call Jack with the good news. But wouldn’t you know it—my phone had died, too! I plugged it in to charge, and as soon as it powered on, I texted Jack to let him know the ring had been found.
Jack met me at the beach a little while later. I handed Aly’s beautiful wedding ring back to him—safe, sound, and sparkling.
Thank you, Jack and Aly, for allowing me to be a part of this special recovery. Returning lost items is always rewarding, but it’s even more meaningful when it’s something as precious as a wedding ring.
