Missing Ring Recovered – Reposted from Facebook page.
THE MISSING FLOTILLA RING HAS BEEN RECOVERED!!! 
Prayers have been answered!
It’s been a very long and emotional week. A kind samaritan loaned me her metal detector and after hours of searching with no luck, I hit the internet for help. I was able to find a website called The Ring Finders. Feeling apprehensive, but desperate about it, I sent a text to a couple specialists in Minnesota. Within moments, Paul texted me back saying he was loading up and would be to Mille Lacs within 2 hours.
I got him familiarized with the area and on day one he spent 4 hours looking. No luck. He was such an incredible, positive human that he reassured me, “Don’t worry! It hasn’t gone anywhere! It’s here.”
Day 2 he came up again, we both searched for hours, coming up empty handed. He was still positive – “don’t worry, we will find it!”.
Day 3 my husband and I took our pontoon out to the exact spot we were at during Flotilla – about 45 feet from what the GPS coordinates said on my Navionics App and where we were looking (sorry fisherman, GPS lies!). Paul was kind enough to loan us a metal detector until he came back out, so we searched for another few hours. No luck, except for a couple cigar stickers from our group – we knew we were close! I text Paul that night to tell him our findings, explaining we were off by about 45 feet, but I could help get him out to our spot when he came up again.
Day 4, Paul texts me, “are you going to be around today?”, of course, I was ready to head out and look again for the ring. Being the positive person he is, he said “are you ready to hear what a ring sounds like”. Of course! Let’s find some gold! Moments later he texts a photo of my ring in his hand!!!!
The cheering squad on the beach is going wild (you know who you are
). I’m going crazy, sprinting through the shallows to hug this amazing person who has found my missing ring!
