Lady’s Lost Rose-Gold Wedding Ring Found! – Richard Bong State Recreational Park, Kansasville, Wisconsin.
Chicago residents, Brandon Weninger and his wife, were attending a Cub Scouts outing with their son, Ben. The group met at Wisconsin’s Richard Bong State Recreation Area east of Burlington. When Ben’s mom removed her three wedding rings to apply sunscreen lotion on him, she slipped them into her pocket for safekeeping. Later, however, as she removed her cellphone from the same pocket she saw two of the rings fall out. The third, a diamond-decorated, rose-gold band, was missing. By this time, Brandon’s wife had traversed quite a large area. The ring could be anywhere.
In concert with the helping spirit of Cub Scouts, they and their parents formed a search line and carefully combed the grass area looking for the lost ring. Unfortunately, it was not found. Brandon later returned with a metal detector belonging to his father, but the presence of metallic objects in the ground made it difficult to discern which signals he should investigate. That’s when he found me on The Ring Finders online directory of metal-detecting specialists and reached out by text.
In a later telephone call, we agreed to meet at the park early the next morning. Brandon, having driven all the way up from Chicago again, was waiting for me when I arrived.
After surveying the area and the location where the other rings had been found, I laid out two 100’ measuring lines perpendicular to one another. This served as a reference aid for a systematic grid search. 
Being a group-camp site, the ground was thick with the usual metallic debris such as foil wrappers, bottle caps, pull tabs and coins. The presence of these targets were tangible evidence that the site was well used. But only twenty minutes or so into the search, a particularly shallow target made itself known both audibly in my headset and on my detector’s control screen. Upon investigation, using a pin-pointing detection tool, the lost ring appeared deep down in the grass where it had either been stepped on or pushed down by a mower wheel. The smile on Brandon’s face tells the rest of the story!
