I got a text late last night from Rebekah who was visiting from Texas. On Saturday she went on a hike in Fraser with her husband and friends. Hayden (husband) stopped to make a snow angel, while he was getting up he felt his wedding band fly off. They searched for a long time with no avail. They marked the area to come back and search. They looked for help on the internet thingy and after some research and a “no” from another detectorist they found me on Ring finders. I like a challenge and I really needed to get out. They were already so thankful that we were willing to drive out and try. Jeff and I packed up for some snow and headed west! They had brought a friend for reinforcements and to help in any way needed. After about 1/2 a mile hike…up, we got to their spot. Jeff and I started at opposite ends, less than a minute in I got a great signal, mind you it was not near where they thought, it was upslope a bit. I dug a bit with my pinpointer and about 2” inches deep I saw gold. At first I thought it was a bottle cap but then saw the platinum shine through. They were in disbelief and so thankful. They were just married 7 months ago and now they have a great story to tell. Well worth the drive, hike and
quick recovery!
