Wedding band recovered on 1st Anniversary!

  • from Green Bay (Wisconsin, United States)

Bethany and her husband, Corey were celebrating their first anniversary at Rowley’s Bay in Door County when the unthinkable happened.    Corey’s wedding band flew into the water when he was tossing a football to his friend.    They searched the sandy shallows without success.   I saw a Facebook posting about it in the lost and found section, which popped up automatically on my screen because I’ve recovered rings there in the past.   I put my hat in the ring, and luckily was the first chosen to perform the search mission.   Bright and early on Monday, September 23rd, I showed Bethany how to use a Garrett AT Pro while I swept a parallel path using my new Nokta Legend.  The water was shallow, crystal clear, and the lake bed was very sandy.  She quickly hit a few coins on edge, but the signals were too weak to be a man’s gold wedding band.   After about 10 minutes of grid searching with no more signals, a clear, loud beeping sound was heard on my Legend!  After three scoops, the ring was glistening in my scoop almost as bright as Bethany’s smile!  Two bald eagles flew out of the treetops and circled overhead together at that exact moment, joining the celebration.   That was a moment I will never forget.
