I received a call about a massive silver ring with a beautiful moonstone that was lost in Salt Lake City near Hogle Zoo. I decided to drive up there right after getting the call knowing that larger items are easier to spot and get picked up by others. He mentioned to me that he was there with some friends and went to give a buddy a high five and the ring just came flying off his finger. It was a gift from another friend and very sentimental to him. He spent a good period of time looking for the ring before reaching out.
When I arrived we went back to where he was sitting and started to grid off the area. Silver is a very high tone signal which makes it easier to filter out on the detector. The issue was that the Cottonwood trees were in full bloom and so there was a thin layer of cotton fluff all over the ground which made the silver ring blend into the surroundings. After understanding where he was sitting and the trajectory the ring could have taken, I started to grid out about 50 feet to make sure I covered the area. It took me about 15 minutes to locate the ring. As you can see on the video, the ring was camouflaged very well in the cottonwood fluff that was all over the ground. I’m super happy to get this beautiful ring back to him! Thanks for reaching out!
