Ring Found in Ashland, WI

  • from Washburn (Wisconsin, United States)

Saturday was a perfect day for two good friends to float on the lake enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company. As she was sliding off of her floating tube near the dock, Sharon could feel her precious, one-of-a-kind wedding ring set slip off of her finger into the water. She was devastated. Luckily, her friend spotted the larger ring on the lake bottom and quickly snapped it up.

Unfortunately, the smaller diamond encrusted band was no where to be found. Sharon desperately Googled “How to find a lost ring in the water” and an article that mentioned “theringfinders” came up. Miraculously, she thought, there was actually a ringfinder in her area!

Since I was away at a family event, Sharon was able to talk to my detecting partner, Jane. Jane went to the site but was unable to locate the ring in the waves. The next day, Jane and I returned. It took us 45 minutes using a grid search of the area to recover the ring. Sharon was ecstatic!
