We got a call on Easter Sunday afternoon from a very upset gentleman. He was at a family gathering for Easter and a water balloon fight broke out. Rewind a moment …to earlier that day the Grandma of the family had passed along to her 14yr old Granddaughter a Gold & Diamond Ring she had been wearing for over 60 years, she told her Granddaughter to keep it safe and to pass it down to her children one day. Then, a little later, the water balloon fight broke out with all the family members. Lots of laughter, everyone was soaked, everyone so happy and then the granddaughter SCREEMED “my ring is gone!”. Everyone dropped to their knees and began searching. The father jumped on the Internet looking for a solution and found “The Ring Finders” website. He gave me a call and it just so happened we lived on 11 miles away. So Ellen & I jumped into the truck and drove over. When we arrived 3 family members were still searching the yard. Ellen & I began our search over lapping each pass. We checked the field beyond the house and got permission to go over to the neighbors on both sides in case it flew over the fence. We even used our camera system to check the gutters on the home to no avail.
We decided to make one more pass over the backyard area where the granddaughter had spend most her time. And on my next to last row/pass, I got a signal that should not have been her ring but then I saw it…
Easter Celebration was saved.. smilies and hugs and tears thanks to the Ring Finders…. It was a Easter to remember.
Don, like reading your stories. I am a member in France. I would like to replace my Hat (identical to the blue one in your photo) since it is nearly 15 yrs old . I really like the quality (which I cannot find in France). Would you kindly provide me info where you buy them? Larry Griffith TRF -France
