FOUND — LOST WEDDING RING AT SUN CITY TIMBER CREEK GOLF COURSE IN ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA
Very early on the morning of June 29th, I received a call from Kaye Milburn, a CPA and Senior Internal Auditor for Sure-West Communication. On the previous Saturday she had been practicing her golf swing at the Timber Creek Golf Course driving range in Roseville, California, when she lost her diamond studded platinum wedding ring. She related that she had taken the ring off when she sat down to rest and put on hand lotion. She then forgot to put it back on. By the time she realized she had lost it, it was too late. Although she and her son went back to the driving range and searched the area, they were unable to find it.
Kaye searched the Sacramento area Craigslist to see if someone had found the ring and came upon my RingFinders advertisement. She gave me a call to see if I could help. I immediately said yes and agreed to meet her at the driving range at 10:00 am. Kay, her husband and I surveyed the area, and I returned to my car to put my favorite 10 inch Eclipse DD elliptical coil on my Whites V3i detector. I then began to methodically search the area where she believed she had lost her precious ring. Luckily, a short time after I began my search, a golf course attendant came by and offered to check the schedule to see exactly where Kaye had been practicing on the previous Saturday. This helped to narrow the search area a great deal.
After about 30 minutes of searching, and no real targets of interest, my detector screen sang out with a wonderful solid repeating tone. I checked my screen; saw a VDI number of 17, and 3 green bars lined up in a row. I thought to myself, “I have hit pay dirt” but I did not want to act too excited. I pinpointed the area with my detector, kneeled down and began to narrow the search area with my electronic Garret Pro Pointer (courtesy of The Ringfinders). When the Pro Pointer signal became the strongest, I used my fingers to gently spread the grass apart. Suddenly, I saw a sparkle and knew I had found her beautiful platinum wedding ring. I lifted the ring from the grass and held it up for Kaye to see. When she saw the ring, she became so elated that she ran over and gave me a big hug. It was a successful hunt and both she and her husband were relieved that the lost treasure had been found. They were thrilled and so was I. Below are pictures of the ring and the happy Kay Milburn.
Lost Gold Ring at Bear Mountain Resort
A couple of days ago I got in touch with a lady who lost her gold ring while she was vacationing at Bear Mountain Resort in Victoria.
She told me that there were two different places that the ring could of come off her finger, but one place she felt was more likely then the other, and that was at Bear Mountain Resort.
She remembered walking her dog by the golf course(not on the course) near her hotel. Her dog did its business and Lisa unwrapped the lease from around her left hand to clean up, this was the most likely place that she could think the ring could have come off.
We talked for some time and I could tell that this ring meant the world to her! I found out later that the ring was a gift from her Aunt and it was her most cherished passion.
I decided that I would go to the resort to take a look, Lisa made arrangements with the club and we got the green light. The next step was to get Lisa to draw me a map…And she did just that, it was a great map and it gave me a good idea where to look and how to do the grid.
I set the alarm for 3:30 AM and off I went to catch a ferry to Victoria Island. I arrived and started the search around 9 AM.
After hitting the spots and no luck I decided to work the area from her patio to the gravel road.
It was pushing 3 hours and all I had to show was 10 golf balls.
Then in an area of green long grass(most of the grass was brown) I received a great hit on my detector! I slowly bent down and moved the grass to see a beautiful ring with all colored stones looking back at me! You’ll never see my immediate reaction but I’ll tell you it makes me give a little Ya! Ha!
I walked back to pro shop to thank the man who let me search the course and showed him the ring. I found a caddy and gave him the golf balls then I made the call to Lisa.
If you knew me you’d know that I’m a bit of a prankster, I told Lisa that I did everything I could but I was packing up and heading home. I said that this would give her closure.
The phone was silent, I then said closure that I found your ring…
She replied”What”!! I told her that I found her ring and I was coming back to Vancouver to drop it off to her…Well she lost it! She cried for a couple of minutes on the phone…I have the best job in the world! I can make people happy!
I love my job!
