pacfiica metal detecting Tag | The Ring Finders

I get called out on a lot of wedding ring searches, but it’s not very often I get a call ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!

Briefly, the wedding party had rented a beautiful farm in Bolinas, CA for the weekend, with the ceremony to take place in a large open field overlooking Bolinas Bay, just south of Pt. Reyes. Moments before the ceremony, it was discovered that the ever so cute 2 year old “ring girl” had been playing with the box of rings in the field and lost both wedding bands in the deep grass! The whole wedding party searched and searched but to no avail. Finally, they went ahead with the ceremony using rings borrowed from guests, but not before Googling the Ring Finders.

Fortunately I was available and showed up about an hour later with my metal detecting equipment. I interviewed everyone about the approximate location of the lost rings and was able to narrow it down to a 30×30′ area in the field. I quickly laid out a search grid and began a methodical search of the target area. The first thing I found was a 1927 Danish 2 Ore coin, very unexpected!

I instantly became the entertainment for the party, with adults, drinks in hand, standing around making jokes and laughing, while a mob of little kids shadowed my every move.

Finally, after about a half an hour, the crowd dispersed, and after locating several pieces of iron junk, I got “slammin hit” right in the gold range on my detector. I knew immediately that I had found the gold rings under the heavily trampled grass. Coincidently, only the bride was now watching me, and instantly picked up on my vibe. She made visual contact with me from the across the field, I nodded, she smiled, and began walking my way. Moments later, in the photo below, the lovely bride, Audrey, shows off the recovered wedding bands.

Words cannot express the satisfaction one gets from saving the day on such a special day for Audrey and her new hubby Warner. I was treated to a tall Hefeweizen and hardy round of congratulations from the wedding party. I drove home, with a small reward in my pocket, and a wonderful feeling in my heart, knowing I had made a small positive difference in some good people’s lives. It’s the best!
