She had asked in the post for "anyone who might have a metal detector" to look for her ring, which had been lost in the water at a New Hampshire beach.

"I had to put in some effort." Asci's children gave him a metal detector for Father's Day about five years ago.

The next evening, August 9, Asci arrived at the beach with his wife, who agreed to accompany him on his search for the ring. "My wife and I decided to sleep in the car next to the beach, because I wanted to be there early for low tide," they explained after finding a parking spot.

Teal went on to explain to Asci where she thought she lost the ring and how she did so. "Being able to meet him and talk to him, you could tell in his eyes he was super determined," she said when she saw Asci again.
