A Massachusetts woman’s diamond wedding ring, a family heirloom, is back on her finger after a man with a metal detector responded to her social media plea for help and found it at the bottom of the ocean.

在一名男子回應一名女子在社群媒體上的求救,帶著金屬探測器從海底找到她的祖傳鑽石婚戒後,這枚戒指再次被戴回女子的手指上。

29-year-old Francesca Teal said that she was tossing a football with her husband at North Beach in Hampton, New Hampshire, when the ring that once belonged to her great-grandmother slipped off her finger.

29歲的佛朗希斯卡提爾說,她當時在新罕布夏州漢普頓鎮的北海灘和丈夫拋球,這枚曾屬於曾祖母的戒指從手指滑落。

Teal posted about the ordeal on Facebook and asked anyone who might frequent the beach with a metal detector to be on the lookout. Her post got the attention of Lou Asci, 60.

提爾在臉書上講述這起噩耗,詢問有沒有常去該海灘的人可以用金屬探測器找找看。60歲的羅爾阿希注意到她的貼文。

Asci put on a wetsuit and headlamp and went for the searching. He had no luck for the first two days, but still wanted to give it one last shot. That’s when he found the ring buried beneath the sandy ocean floor.

阿希穿上潛水服、戴上頭燈開始搜尋,頭兩天徒勞無功,但他仍想再試最後一次,這回他在覆蓋著沙的海床找到埋在裡頭的戒指。
