Paladium and White Gold Wedding Ring found in Olathe KS
Heather was on a family outing at the Olathe Lake Swim Beach and lost her wedding ring. She was in about 5’ of water and as the ring slipped off, she saw it disappear into the murk. This ring has a very deep sentimental value for Heather and Dave. It also has considerable material value as it is a palladium band with 14K white gold bands on either side and a beautiful round diamond.
She and her husband made several unsuccessful attempts to find the ring. They contacted me through Ring Finders and we met soon after at the beach in question. We had a 2-hour time limit on our search as the facility wanted us to be finished by the time they opened. We recovered several targets but did not locate the ring.
We decided to regroup on a day that the beach was closed so we wouldn’t run into a tight time limit. Also, I changed tack to hunt underwater with my hookah dive rig, detector, pin-pointer, mask and weight belt. So, Dave and I returned to the lake and after a few more fishing lures, pull tabs and bottle caps the Legend rang up a solid, shallow, repeatable 29. There is very little visibility at 5’ but I had the target in hand as I rose to the surface. This stunner emerged and I knew a happy ending would culminate with this ring going back to its grateful owner!!
Later that evening, when David returned the ring to his wife, Heather texted me and said she was “too emotional” to talk. Tears of joy I suspect.
covered it up even more by moving the mulch.
