Lou Asci heard a woman had lost her diamond ring in the ocean at a New Hampshire beach, so he grabbed his metal detector and dove in. After searching for several days, his doggedness had paid off.
“I don’t take failure very well,” said Asci, who works in the communications center at Boston Logan International Airport. “It’s just something that I wanted to keep on doing until it was over.”So he decided to return to the beach alone to continue his search on Aug. 12. There, he met Teal and her husband, Austin. The couple, married nearly two years, had come back to the beach to keep looking.
She explained that she and her husband, who were high school sweethearts, were enjoying a beautiful beach day, throwing a football back and forth about waist-deep in the ocean, when the ball hit Teal’s hand, and her engagement ring went flying.Advertisement After several hours of searching, “it was nowhere in sight,” said Teal, who manages a team of career advisers at Southern New Hampshire University.She told a lifeguard what happened, and he suggested she post about the ring in various Facebook groups, as there are often people with metal detectors on the beach. Teal also ordered her own underwater metal detector on Amazon.
“We went back the next day, and there was a couple already in the water looking with their metal detectors,” Teal said, adding that in addition to Asci, strangers trickled in throughout the week, wanting to reunite Teal with her precious family gem.But no one, she said, was more determined than Asci.He searched for six hours that evening, to no avail, and sent Teal a message, saying: “I’m not giving up.”But Asci, remaining resolute, returned to the beach two days later on Aug.
