Millie and her husband Dustin, along with some of their family were enjoying their time together out on the Chester River. They had a blast boating, swimming and partaking of a delicious picnic. At some point during their fun getaway, Millie looked down at her hand and she realized that her beautiful 14 karat yellow gold Cartier Love Ring was no longer on her finger.

For the next couple of hours, the family diligently searched in the water to see if maybe they could feel the ring with their toes in an attempt to recover the precious wedding band. Unfortunately, Millie, Dustin, her sister, brother-in-law and father were all unable to locate and retrieve the ring from the bottom of the river.

At some point later on in the day, Millie and Dustin decided to look on the internet see if there were any metal detectorists who had the capability of doing a metal detecting search in a depth of about 4 feet of water. As they browsed online, the couple found information on John Favano, a highly successful metal detectorist located throughout the New Jersey area. John was too far from their area so he referred the couple to me and that’s when I entered into the story.

After going through all of the details regarding the loss of Millie’s beloved wedding band, I agreed to help the couple and we planned for me to drive approximately 4 hours to Chestertown, Maryland. I had been metal detecting down in Southern Virginia, so the trip to meet up with the couple was going to be a pretty significant journey.

The next day, I arrived at the family estate where we all boarded their pontoon boat and headed off to a lovely deserted cove where the ring was believed to have slipped off of Millie’s finger. I made sure that I loaded up all of the necessary detecting equipment to give me the best chance of success.

When we arrived at the search site, we anchored along the shore and I immediately got to work. As soon as I got answers to all of my questions regarding the spots where Millie may have been swimming when the ring fell off, I began setting up all of my professional waterproof gear and eventually entered the water to start the search.

At first, I picked up a few random signals which did not convince me that the Cartier love ring was being detected. However, I wanted to make sure that I checked out every possible target just to be on the safe side. A few minutes later, I decided to switch up my detectors due to the mineralization challenges that I began to face in that particular body of water. I reentered the water and within a few minutes I hit a perfect target signal that fell into the range of Millie’s type of gold jewelry.

Millie, Dustin, her sister and brother-in-law along with their father waited with much anticipation to see if what I had detected in the water was in fact the missing irreplaceable keepsake. I put my scuba BCD on, loaded up the weight pockets, placed my dive mask on and duck dove into the water to retrieve the mysterious object below.

I am excited to share that when my fingers touched the item in the midst of all of the sand and silt, I could immediately tell that what I was going to bring up to the surface was indeed the ring! And that’s exactly what it was! I recovered Millie’s classy yellow gold Cartier Love Ring!

Everyone was so thrilled at my announcement that Millie’s precious jewel was coming back to her left ring finger! We all celebrated and gave each other hugs out of such pure elation and gratitude!

There’s nothing more exciting than to help people recover special items like the one that I was able to retrieve from the depths of the Chester River for my clients! I thought that the trip to the cove where the search took place was beyond breathtaking. Well, our victory cruise back to shore happened to be even more thrilling!
