Got a text yesterday afternoon at 4:27pm, from Cody, requesting a lost ring recovery search for her husband’s wedding ring in Donner Lake. This wedding ring was very special having originally belonged to his late father.
He had been climbing a rock, three hundred feet or so, offshore in Donner Lake. His hand slipped and off came his ring in about 8 feet of water.
We arranged to meet at the entrance to the Donner Memorial State Park at 8:00am.
By 8:15am they guided me to a shoreline location closest to the offshore rock.
I geared up and began swimming out to the rock. With my XP Deus 2 metal detector and Blu3 Nomad dive system, I was able to recover his ring in a short amount of time.
At 8:40am I handed the ring over. He and Cody were very happy and relieved to have his father’s ring back on his finger.
