Lost Rose Gold Ring Underwater Found in Portage Lake, Munith Michigan

The Feather that Pointed to Treasure……

….Most treasure hunters at least once in their lifetime have come across treasure signs and symbols while researching a particular treasure lead or legend. Some spend most of their lives trying to decipher, decode and chase down the clues hoping to find the motherlode. When Travis lost his ring in the water, he was hoping it wouldn’t take a lifetime to find it. Entering the lake the water felt nice and cool and with the scent of barbecue grills and smoked meats in the air I paused to take in the moment of another summer that’s gone by too fast. On the shore was Travis’ wife Margherita who was pointing to us the area she remembers Travis being in when the ring came off. Out in about 5 feet of water I got a few junk targets, but as Margherita pointed more to the left a huge loud signal came thru my detector’s headphones. Descending under for a minute my pin pointer buzzed on a target and moving some sand aside I saw his ring. Back on the surface I had a mad look on my face and said all I’m picking up is junk, but then this showed up! Travis looked at his ring in amazement and couldn’t believe it was found! He held it in the air and Margherita knew we had found it! Back on shore Margherita walked towards us with a large feather. I said to her that I didn’t have any ink for the quill pen if you’re writing me a check! They both laughed and she said that the feather was found behind her and was pointing towards where the ring was found and mentioned that whenever she came across a feather in life, good things always happened! I said that’s one heck of a treasure sign and I’ll go get that ink!
