Caroline gave me a call, as she was trying to keep it together, she was crying trying to tell me about a very sentimental ring, it was given to her from her Grandmother. She wasn’t sure where it was lost, in the water, sand or even possibly in the yard back at the Summer cottage. Caroline wasn’t available to help in the search, but had her cousin join me. She helped with a few pictures of where they had been that day. I met up with her cousin the very next morning , we spent over 3 1/2 hours in the water, and searching the sand area. I had to give Caroline the bad news, and again she started crying, it just wasn’t there. I asked her to say a few prayers and to not give up until I give up.
I continued to try and meet up with her, but we just couldn’t get together. Finally two weeks later we were able to meet. When I got there, I mentioned trying the grass at the cottage first, then back to the beach if needed. In the meantime all the locals had been searching for two weeks to no avail.
I searched the entire yard, plenty of signals but not the one I wanted. One last spot before leaving the yard, it was where she was parked. I mentioned that persistence pays off.
I had Caroline move her car, and two swing later I got that familiar low tone ( GOLD ) I looked down and didn’t see anything, but took my pin pointer out, and scratched the surface and there looking back up at me was her family Gold Coin Ring.
I called her over to witness the find. She immediately started to cry very hard, that made me tear up too. Never ever ever give up. What a great feeling to return this one to the family. Congratulations Caroline Sincerely Leighton
Miracles happen thanks to Leighton. Persistence pays off. Also size your rings and pray to St. Anthony.
Good detective work and patience
Your too kind Prayers first then me with a detector LOL
I cannot thank you enough for finding my ring! My bond with my Grandmum was very special and I’ve treasured this ring since it was given to me after she passed over a decade ago. Every time someone compliments me on it, I get to talk about her and now I can do that again — and add to the lore of the ring. Thank you again Leighton! You’re a hero.
Honestly, it was my pleasure to see your expression, when you said, did you find it? I said yes I found it. Glad you got to wittiness it still pushed into the grass. This ring really bothered me for some reason I really needed to get it back yo you. It really bothered me that the first day, The first trip ended with no ring, But like I said never give up, never, ever.
Please get it re sized and put your inscription on it…CONGRATULATIONS Caroline
Sincerely Leighton
