Lost gold wedding ring, Recovered by metal detectorist, Gowdy Beach, New Buffalo, Michigan (Lake Michigan)

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)


Alec and Rachel, enjoying the perfect day at the private beach. In the water, sun shining, tossing a football. Uh oh, Alec discovered his gold wedding ring was missing from his finger.
Not knowing when or exactly where it came off, meant a fairly large search area. Highest chance it was during a throw, which can hurl a ring quite a ways or into deeper water.
Search conditions: Air 78, water 72, 2 ft gently rolling waves, crystal clear water.
Detector: Minelab Manticore
Scoop: XtremeScoops surfmaster titanium

Gridded the probable area, several junk metallic hits. At around 35 minutes in, I called a perfect 51 vdi signal the ring (in my thoughts), scooped out a bright, shiny one-month-old gold wedding ring! Was about 10 inches down in the semi-lofty sandbar sand. Their one month anniversary today. Happy day!
