After an exciting baby shower the day prior, Nina and her family spent the day on a little beach on Sherman Island in the delta. The day was beautiful and the weather perfect. That was, until Nina’s husband Chris lost his titanium wedding band when playing with his nephews in the water. He was extremely disappointed to say the least and a dark cloud loomed over an otherwise perfect weekend.
I was made aware of the incident and agreed to perform a search the following day. Water recoveries in the summer are always a welcome escape from warm inland temperatures, but this day was very windy and the water was choppy, not ideal for searching.
None the less, my boys and I made our way out into the water and started the process of locating the missing ring. A number of objects in the water meant that this area most likely had never seen a detector. Bottle caps, pull tabs (some very old), lead weights all made for a noisy and busy search. I could tell with every piece of trash we pulled and minutes passing that Nina was losing hope.
When I recovered the ring I knew that Nina and her sister had not noticed. I gave it to my oldest boy to take to the beach like all the other trash we recovered, but this time he asked, “did the ring look like this?” Confused the two looked at the ring then all at once realized… We had Made The Recovery!
A celebration ensued and I even allowed myself to have a celebratory White Claw with my new friends. I learned all about the two’s courtship, marriage, and the new special package about to bless their lives. It was a joyous time and I was glad I got to take part in their story, however small my part was. It was a pleasure to meet you Nina and we wish you the very best!
