MARSHFIELD — Rain or shine, day or evening, Lou Asci fits up, metallic detector in hand, and heads to a seaside. He volunteers his time to seek out useful gadgets different folks have misplaced. 

“We’ve all been there. We’ve lost something special to us and we want it back and it’s a horrible feeling,” stated Asci.

It’s a sense that Francesca Teal is aware of effectively as a result of her wedding ceremony ring fell within the ocean in Hampton, New Hampshire earlier this month. 

“Honestly I had to let myself say at some point alright I’m never going to find it,” stated Teal.

Lou noticed her plea on Facebook and after three separate journeys, he discovered it eight days later. 

“I took a picture of the ring and sent it to Francesca and said please tell me this is the ring so I can finally get off this beach. She texted right back,” stated Asci. 

“I freaked out. I think I jumped up and I was like ‘it’s it, it’s it, he’s got it!’ And I looked at my husband and he got super emotional,” stated Teal.

When requested the way it felt to return the ring, Asci stated, “it was pretty much what motivated me to do that third and final trip: to give it back. The ocean has plenty of rings. This one doesn’t belong in the ocean.”

Asci’s buddy Mike Chorzewski alerts Asci when he hears of misplaced gadgets on social media. 

“To do it at night with a metal detector and just a headlamp and find it under water. I don’t know how he does it. But it’s the perseverance that he has and he just always seems to find that ring,” stated Chorzewski. 

Asci bought his metallic detector as a present for Father’s Day 5 years in the past. Since then, he is been hooked on the interest and efficiently discovered dozens of rings and different gadgets within the course of. 

“I’ve found a lot of rings. But about a dozen owners that we’ve matched them up to,” stated Asci. “Someone that lost something that precious to them, they need it back. So that’s the motivation.”

“My husband and I will never be able to thank him enough for bringing this back to us and just getting to experience his true generosity and we will always make sure we put that forward,” stated Teal.

Asci stated whereas he was in search of Francesca’s ring in Hampton, he discovered a males’s wedding ceremony ring and he’s presently in search of the proprietor.
