Item recovered February 1, 2025.
I received a text from Haley, a student at the University of Tampa who needed my help locating a promise ring from her boyfriend she lost in Plant Park while laying in the sun with friends the day before.
My wife and I both graduated from UT and we were excited to go back to the campus. We both went to meet Haley and a couple of her friends at the loss location early on a Saturday morning, before most college students were awake.
Haley pointed out the spot where they were on the grass and I got to work gridding the area approximately 20’ by 20’. I covered the area thoroughly with no luck and I could see by Haley’s body language that she was losing hope.
Next, I started expanding the search area and got a nice sounding signal 10-15’ away from the initial search area. It took about 40 minutes, but the ring had been found. Haley was moved to tears and was so thankful to have her ring back!
Unfortunately I forgot to take photos at this recovery, but Haley did send me a photo of the ring afterward.
