A few days ago I got a message from a fellow who had come north last Summer to vacation at a Summer camp. One day he had been washing his hands indoors, then stepped outdoors and shook the water off his hands. He felt his wedding ring fly off his finger and heard it hit something a few yards away. He searched for over an hour and couldn’t find it. Shortly after he had to go back home without his ring.
Just recently he heard about The Ring Finders, looked up a Vermont member and contacted me to give the service a try. I had a 4 day weekend this week, so was able to go do a search on my next day off. He sent me awesome photos of the search area and described what happened to his ring.
This morning the weather was beautiful, cool and clear. I went to the camp, talked with the manager and got started. Unfortunately, there was a massive air conditioner, a propane tank and a large metal culvert in the search area, so I figured that would make it a challenging search with such large metal obstacles giving off large signals. So, I started with the bushes and flowers, got many signals, but in about 20 minutes got the right signal for his ring. I poked my finger into the flower’s roots and about an inch down found his ring! He might have stepped on it while searching.
Soon, I will be reuniting him with his ring! Moral of the story, don’t give up on a ring, even if it’s been months or years.
