9/14/25 Cherry Beach, Lakeside Michigan (Lake Michigan)

Hannah was enjoying the fantastic mid-September day at a nice little beach, here in SW Michigan. Sun out, 80 degrees, calm East breeze, water still over 70 degrees, excellent for this time of year.
All was well, she nestled her engagement ring in her T-shirt, on her beach towel, so not to risk losing it in the water. However, when it was time to go, she gathered things up, flipped the towel, having forgot about her hidden treasure.
Out flew the two month old ring, into the dry sand, somewhere nearby.
She tried scouring around, looking with no luck. She tested some rocks, dropped on the sand, only to see that they quickly vanish upon landing in the soft sand.
I was at another beach, preparing to go detecting in the water, moments away from heading out, when I heard my phone alert. Opted to check that and it was Hannah asking if I’d be available to hire.
Shifted gears, drove up the coast 15 minutes and headed out on the dry sand to where she thought she had been. With a little help from a nice lady who overheard us talking, she said Hannah had been about 20 feet further North. Within about ten seconds, got a nice signal, deployed the pinpointer and quickly observed a ring show itself for a brief moment. Reached down and had her nice ring, ready to go back where it belonged.

Lost gold wedding ring found (for a 2nd time) Granger, Indiana

9 years ago, in 2013, I recovered this ring for Chris, who had lost it in Donnell Lake (Vandalia, Mi). Since then, he implemented a protocol to always leave it in the lake house prior to heading out on/in the water. The ring is half of a matched set (with his wife’s). Anyhow, he was cleaning up leaves in the yard and at some point noticed his ring went missing. He knew who to call to search for it. I searched most the yard and an area where he said he had lost a gas cap from a blower yesterday, but ended up finding it within the leaves by the street (piled up for the county leaf sucker truck to get). He later recalled flinging some leaves onto a large tarp, which must have sent the ring sailing also. Prior to me going to search, he mentioned being worried maybe he blew the ring away with the leafblower too. I tested that concern with an average weight men’s ring and my extra powerful Stihl 800x blower (had to totally try to move the ring, not a worry, likely different with lighter rings though).
I told him that he’s now in the “twice-found club”, as I’ve recovered another ring twice, years apart, for another guy recently.
