Tim Martin of Glen Mills lost his wedding ring while playing with his son on the beach in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, reports Gray Hall for Action News.

He thought the custom-ordered, platinum diamond ring was gone for good.

Martin searched the sand for hours and was about to give up until he saw Bob Brown searching the beach with a metal detector.

“The whole thing was a surreal moment because it was like our paths crossed at that right time where I needed him. I was really praying, you know, I need my ring,” Martin said.

Brown started the search for Martin’s ring, digging dozens of holes. After two days searching—success.

“I have found a lot of things. I am at 39 rings for the year. We find a lot of jewelry in the summer,” said Brown of Heislervile, New Jersey.

Tim’s wife Michelle admits she thought the ring was lost forever.

Believe it or not, this is not the first time Tim lost this wedding ring.

He says he first lost it on his honeymoon night. He promises his wife, there will not be a third time.
