06/25/2024 Weko Beach, Bridgman Michigan, Lake Michigan, water temp 68. William and family were enjoying the day at the beach. The 90’s temps last week warmed the big lake up nicely nearshore. At some point, William realized his gold wedding ring had fell off. He noticed this while out by a certain buoy marker out by the water inlet tower.
His daughter Alissa, later did some googling and came across my information as a “Ring Finder”. She texted me, we worked out the details and today (06/26) I did my searching, based off a hand drawn treasure-map of sorts.
There had been a quite strong wind/storm event later in the evening of the day of loss. Things move at this beach rather easily, even heavy 2-3 ounce fishing sinkers and massive amounts of sand come and go quickly.
Well, after a bit of searching, working the fairly large area, I got a nice sounding signal, told the gopro to “start recording”, took a careful scoop and observed a very gold men’s band in the scoop! He’s been wearing it since May of 2002 and I’m glad to have helped recover it for them.
I was heartbroken and ready to accept that the great lake had whisked it away for good. So thankful my daughter found you and I am very thankful you were able to find it. Thank you again. ❤️
Yes, glad to have helped!
