Sugar Pine Point State Park, Lake Tahoe, California: Lost Platinum Wedding Ring Found and Returned to the Owner by Metal Detector Specialist — Trevor Oxborrow.
Jack was working at the Lake Tahoe Triathlon five days ago and remembers talking off his work gloves several times throughout the day—but didn’t recognize the exact moment his wedding ring came off his finger. Later in the day, and not knowing for sure if the ring came off at Sugar Pine Point State Park, he double checked his gloves and thoroughly searched his car.
With very special words engraved on the inside of his ring and having worn this ring for decades, he knew he had to find it.
Being from Reno, Jack initially contacted Ring Finder—Michael Dewey, who happened to be out of town, so Michael forwarded Jack’s contact info to me.
I called Jack and arranged to meet him at Sugar Pine Point State Park at 10am. I arrived at 9:45am and few minutes later got a call from Jack who explained he was delayed by thirty minutes. He described, over the phone, one of the possible search locations and encouraged me to begin. I searched the area for twenty five minutes with only one target—a 1982 penny. My second solid target turned out to be Jack’s Special Lost Platinum Wedding Ring.
I immediately called Jack, who had been delayed again, and he couldn’t believe I had already found his ring.
We arranged to meet in Tahoe City.
I could tell that Jack was so relieved and happy to have his Special Ring back on his finger.
