Ring lost in a Twin Cities Metro lake beach recovered!
During a normal swimming outing, an unfortunate event occurred—fortunately, he was in shallow water and noticed the moment his ring came off his finger and disappeared into the water.
He immediately began searching by hand in the murky water, but had no luck. Fortunately, he was sharp enough to note his location and identify two trees and a brick building with individual bricks as landmarks. He called me, and within two hours we met at the location.
The area was littered with trashy targets, and this is where experience really comes into play. Understanding what your metal detector is telling you—and knowing which signals to investigate—is crucial to a successful recovery.
Within less than a minute, the ring was located and recovered, about six feet from where he thought he had lost it.
His remark afterward was, “It was much further away and in shallower water than I thought!”
Many thanks for calling me and giving me the opportunity to return your lost ring! Another successful recovery and another happy ending. 💍
