But what happened next\u2026"},"content":{"rendered":"

After finding his diamond wedding band on a sandy beach, a metal detectorist was able to bring the man and his ring back together.<\/p>\n

During a vacation to St. Augustine, Florida, Stephane Seguin lost the ring while swimming.<\/p>\n

When the 40-year-old noticed Joseph Cook, a detectorist, out in the sands looking for his ring, she requested him to keep an eye out for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Quebec City tinsmith Mr. Stephane remarked, \u2018It felt like falling in a dream when I lost the ring in the sea.\u2019<\/p>\n

After searching every day, we finally spotted Joseph on the beach. \u2018I won’t tell him where it is because he’ll look for it and keep it,\u2019 I told Marie-Eve.<\/p>\n

However, when she approached him, he promised to return it if he found it.<\/p>\n

They had no idea that, the year before, Joseph had posted a video about the find and then returned a $40,000 diamond ring.<\/p>\n

Joseph was a resolute hero who went back to the location every day for more than a month, even after <\/p>\n

the couple left for Canada the following week and he was still unable to find the gold ring.<\/p>\n

\u2018I made the decision to give it another go, and after less than four minutes, I heard the beep beep beep and knew it belonged to them.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He begins filming videos as soon as he hears a beep, posting all of his discoveries to his social media profiles. <\/p>\n

He had promised to return the memento if he discovered it and had instructed the couple to follow him on social media.<\/p>\n

Like he would with any other find, Joseph shared it on social media in the hopes that the couple would see it. <\/p>\n

Marie-Eve and Stephane had been watching the videos at home, hoping to see the ring.
\n\u2018I had no doubt it would show up,\u2019 the prospective groom remarked.<\/p>\n

The Canadian couple purchased it in 2011 with the intention of using it as a wedding band, but as life <\/p>\n

and their children came first, they had to postpone the wedding, and Stephane began wearing it nevertheless.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was incredible to watch the video of him discovering the ring; I knew it was mine before he even closed the door on it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They traveled 1,600 miles to pick up the ring and personally thank Joseph, inviting him to their wedding. <\/p>\n

They also sent a note containing a photo of Stephane wearing the ring to confirm its ownership.<\/p>\n

Out of all the returns he had ever arranged, the 38-year-old detectorist and content developer remarked that these two were \u2018the most humble people I’ve ever met.\u2019<\/p>\n

They profusely thanked me and declared that October will now always be a wonderful month in their lives. It’s the reason I do it.<\/p>\n

Though they had taken him out to supper, given him a ring of his own, and brought him some gift baskets, Joseph requested they not give him any compensation.<\/p>\n
