Mike and his family went out to a local beach for some fun in the sun. They were playing around in the water with some inner tubes. Mike decided to throw one of the tubes to his wife and when he did, he watched his Titanium wedding band fly off his finger into the water. He is approximately 6 feet tall and he was neck deep. His whole family tried searching for the ring to no avail. When he got home, he went on google and typed in, “how to find a lost ring in the water” – Luckily, “theringfinders.com” came right up. He gave me a call and we set up a time a day to meet. I’m in Minnesota and he lost the ring in the St. Croix river in Wisconsin, about an hour and 15 minute drive for me. We at the ring finders are determined to find people’s lost valuables no matter what the circumstance are. We met at the beach, talked about the area he thought the ring was in and I geared up for the search. Mike and his son marked the north and south most boundaries and I performed a grid search between them. I got a few hits of pop tops, bottle caps and broken off shards of propellers while searching. After 15 minutes or so, I got a nice hit on my Minelab Manticore and pretty much knew it was his ring. The bottom was a little weedy, some muck and sand mix. It took we a couple scoops to get it out from the bottom, pulled Mike’s wedding band out of my basket and saw the big smile on Mike’s face.
Hope this makes your Father’s Day a little happier Mike, it was nice meeting both you and your son.
Congrats and take care.
