Minnesota lost Recovery Tag | The Ring Finders

Will was out on his boat with friends enjoying a 90 degree day in Minnesota. A bachelor party for his good friend. They stopped at an island that has crystal clear water, sandy bottom, and is only 3 to 4 deep water. A popular place to cool off on the lake. While in the water, Will felt his wedding ring slip off his finger and only having the ring for 2 weeks, he couldn’t believe he lost it already. Even with the clear water, he & his buddies couldn’t locate the ring. After searching for help on his phone, he came across “theringfinders.com” and called me while he was still out at the island.  I was actually out on another ring search and didn’t get his message until a couple hours later. When I returned his call, he was just bringing his friends back to shore. We made a plan for early the next morning and met up at his boat slip. Will used his GPS mark to anchor us in the area and we planned out a grid search. I searched the area near the boat out to a marker we set and found bottle caps, pull tabs, coins, screws and other trash. After a half hour or so, I was getting no signals in the area. I decided to go a little deeper and start searching right under the boat. I got a nice hit on my Excalibur metal detector, swished away a little sand and there was that beautiful Gold Ring glistening in the sun. Will asked me prior to the search: “what’s the percentage rate that you can find the ring?” I told him that is 100% up to him. If he puts me within 20 feet of the ring, I’ll find it for sure. He put me right on top of it! That’s a first for me and was great on his part. Congrats Will, glad I could help out.
