Lost ring on Forest Lake golf course recovered!

  • from Coon Rapids (Minnesota, United States)

Sentimental value cannot be measured. This unfortunate incident was filled with meaning: Ron had been golfing when he put on his father’s ring — a ring given to him by his mother a few years earlier. His father died young and the ring had been tucked away and nearly forgotten until his mother found it and offered it to Ron. He accepted immediately and asked his wife to have their wedding date, along with his parents’ wedding date, engraved inside.

While on the course he slipped the ring into his pocket, later reached for money, and didn’t notice his pocket had turned inside out. Realizing it was missing, Ron retraced his steps, rented a metal detector, and searched the area but found nothing. He called me, and we went to the most likely spot and searched until the ring was recovered.

I feel privileged to have been part of this deeply sentimental recovery. Ron, you are a kind soul — your gratitude meant everything. Thank you for choosing me to find your ring.

    Joe was awesome!! We had a great conversation while he was looking for my ring. I thought I had lost it for good after, as he mentioned, I had rented a metal detector from a local rental outfit and spent some time earlier this week looking in the same area with no luck.

    I found Joe here on RingFinders and contacted him. We met at the golf course. I took him out to the area that I was certain it fell out of my pocket. After 30 minutes or so of searching, HE FOUND IT!!

    I am so appreciative of him for not only having the time to help, but the flexibility to be able to do the search early in the evening on a hot summer day.

    Thank you Joe!!!
