At around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 29, I received a text from Julia of Saco, Maine.
She had just discovered that her ลURA Ring was missing! She believed it had fallen out of her beach chair while she was leaving the beach at Tunis Avenue in Ocean Park, Maine around 1 p.m.
Julia had received the ring as a birthday present just a few weeks earlier, making it far more than just a small smart ringโit was a meaningful gift from someone she loved.

โค๏ธ Julia, let me tell you something!

๐ก For those unfamiliar with an Oura Ring, itโs a small smart ring that tracks wellness information such as sleep, activity, heart rate, and body temperature trends.
Julia was hoping I could search for it Sunday morning.
Fortunately, I already had a 5:00 a.m. appointment at Goochโs Beach, near Kennebunkport Maine to search for another Oura Ring that had been lost while surfing three weeks earlier!
Unfortunately, we couldnโt find that ring. Gary Hill and I then headed to Ocean Park to meet Julia.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐๏ธ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ!
Julia was already there, visually searching the sand once again.
After a quick meet-and-greet, she showed us the search area near the top of the slope, in the area commonly known as the โTowel Line.โ
On a hot summer day, this is one of the most sought-after spots on the beach!
The search area was only about 65โ75 feet long, from the beach access path to the Towel Line.
Gary and I split up.
Gary started at the spot where Julia had placed her beach chair, working toward the access path. I started at the path and worked toward Gary.
We figured the search would take 10โ15 minutes.
We had no idea how quickly this search would end!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฒ โ๐ ๐๐๐๐ผ, ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐!โ
We had barely started swinging our detectors when Gary suddenly yelled over to us:
โ๐ ๐๐๐๐ผ, ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐!โ
There was a little excitement in his voice.
My first thought?
๐ก๐ข ๐ช๐๐ฌ!!!
We hadnโt been searching for more than 90 SECONDS!
Julia and I hurried over to Gary.
There he stood, wearing that familiar sly smile! ๐
He pointed down at the sand, and there it was!
About one-quarter of Juliaโs little Oura Ring was sticking out of the sand, right where she had been sitting along the Towel Line!

โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฏ ๐ป๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ด๐จ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ช ๐ต๐ผ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฌ๐น: 02!
Gary told us heโd heard a very good, low-tone signal on his Minelab Manticore, with a Target Identification (TID) reading of 02.
Neither of us had ever recovered an Oura Ring before, so we had no idea what its TID would be.
Thatโs why we always check ๐ฌ๐ฝ๐ฌ๐น๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ต-๐ญ๐ฌ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐บ ๐ป๐ฐ๐ซ!
You never know what that next signal might turn out to be. Ignore those low numbers, and you could miss something important!

Julia immediately picked up her ring and gave Gary and me both a ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ, thanking us for finding her birthday present!
As she walked away, she was beaming from ear to ear. ๐
Gary and I talked about finding our very first Oura Ring, but more importantly, we talked about why we do what we do.
This wasnโt an expensive engagement ring. It was a birthday present from a family member, and it meant the world to Julia.
๐๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐!
We have the best job in the world. We love helping people recover things they thought were gone forever.
Sometimes itโs an expensive diamond ring. Sometimes itโs a simple piece of jewelry. And sometimes itโs a little smart ring with tremendous sentimental value.
