At 2:18pm I received a ring recovery search request located at the south overlook parking area of Emerald Bay. Backstory: The client and family—tourists visiting Lake Tahoe—stopped at the south overlook parking area of Emerald Bay around 10am. The client climbed up on the snow embankment and began reaching into the snow with his hands and at some point his wedding ring slipped off his hand. The client and his family searched for several hours before calling me. Since the client and family planned on returning to the Bay Area that afternoon, I needed to get to the search location ASAP. Additionally, since I was an hour and a half away, I needed to begin searching before sunset. Arriving just after 4pm, and dealing with the hectic parking situation, I finally connected with the client. After getting all the ring loss details from the client, I jumped onto the snow embankment and switched on the XP Deus 2. Within a minute, I got a solid target signal with a VDI of 71. I scooped up a handful of snow and used the pinpointer to confirm the target was in my hand. Crushing the snow clump revealed a 14k gold ring with diamonds.
Another lost-ring-in-snow recovery!
