She Lost Her Engagement Ring At A Beach And An Officer Helped Her Find It
Rye, New Hampshire. Losing an engagement ring could be the worst possible scenario for any woman. It’s a symbol of love and promise, and most of all, it’s a prized possession!
One woman lost her ring in the worst place – the middle of endless sand on the beach.
As per a Facebook post from the Rye Police Department, this past weekend Animal Control Officer Bob McGrath was walking Cable Beach located in Rye, New Hampshire.
Officer McGrath came across Olivia Ireland out on the beach, and she had a metal detector in her hands.
“I was out patrolling on Saturday. We have a no dogs on the beach policy, and I look for that and other things,” Officer McGrath later told Seacoastonline.
“I saw the lady near the water with a metal detector, on a busy, busy beach day and thought it was a little odd.”

“Being a person who used metal detectors for most of my life, I went and asked if she was having any luck.”
Olivia explained to Officer McGrath that she was trying to use the metal detector to find her engagement ring, which she had lost.

“Officer McGrath learned Olivia was looking for her engagement ring that she only had for a month,” a Facebook post from the Rye, New Hampshire Police Department said.
While Olivia had been in the water, her engagement ring somehow managed to slip off of her ring finger and into the ocean.
Olivia was intensely searching the beach, hoping that she would miraculously be able to recover her ring.
Olivia didn’t have any luck that day, and so Officer McGrath decided he was going to do something to try to help.
“That evening Officer McGrath, who has been metal detecting for years, went back out after 9:30 pm at low tide and checked the area using his metal detector,” the Rye, New Hampshire Police Department continued.
It took Officer McGrath approximately an hour before he found Olivia’s engagement ring!
