Dana C. emailed me the other day asking me if I could help find her nieces husbands wedding band. I immediately returned her email and the process was in the works.

Cody A. was visiting his wife, Nicole’s, aunt and uncle Dana and Mike C. They live in a condo that has a small rock lined lake behind their home that they kayak, paddle board and swim. While everyone was out in the water Cody decided to remove his wedding ring and put it on a chain that he was wearing so he wouldn’t loose it. Murphy’s Law, he lost it!! Cody was standing in about chest deep water and the ring went straight down to the bottom in about an inch of silt. He immediately was put in the dog house and the only way to get out of it was to contact The Ring Finders of which they knew nothing about. Fortunately for Cody the neighbor heard of TRF and told Dana to look us up.

So here it is the following weekend and my partner Dave Boyer and myself are at their condo. After introductions were made we got out our equipment and in about 5 minutes in chest deep water a beautiful white gold ring with 3 diamonds was recovered. Mike was flabbergasted that we found it and so quick. The neighbor came out and was equally impressed.

Because Cody works and lives in Indianapolis, IN he was not available for a picture in our book of smiles so we got a smiling Mike to show the  ring. Cody will send us a picture when he receives the ring. Oh, by the way Cody is no longer in the Dog House.

When Dom Gernon and family of Luton, Beds witnessed his daughters favorite ball slowly drifting out to sea after a day on Swanage Beach heroically he swam out 50 meters to rescue it. Unfortunately in pursuit of the ball he felt his wedding ring slip from his finger and sink beneath 10 feet of water. He tried in vain searching later with a mask and snorkel but unfortunately depth and visibility were against him. I too tried later but the task was impossible and we decided to await the low tides in a few days. We knew the rough location but considering the water would still be 4 feet deep and murky I knew it was not going to be easy.
Over a week later the low tides arrived but a two hour evening searched brought nothing bar some old coins. At dawn the next morning I searched two more hours again concentrating on the periphery of my search area. The remains of a dead crab caught my eye. Its legs, body and claws lay scattered and almost in the middle lay the distinctive round shape of a ring. Without even using the CTX my scoop gathered the ring and remains of the crab and a quick check of the inscription it was the ring I was hunting. This was another example of ‘the Ring found me’!
Mr Gernon was over the moon and made a generous donation to Margret Green Animal Charity.
