Lost Ring, cell phone, keys… Call ASAP/Chris Turner – 778-838-3463 24/7 Service
I received a call in regards to a Lost Ring that fell between the cracks of a balcony over the water. You can imagine how he must’ve felt when he felt the ring come off and fall between the cracks. You see Nick was only married 2 weeks ago! and that’s where the story begins. He & his wife and some friends spent hours under the patio, looking in big rocks, barnacles and fighting the tide that was coming in. This was an extremely difficult area to search because the size of the rocks and the voids between them left so many places where this ring could’ve fell down into and out of sight.
When I arrived, I assessed the area, It was on a 60° slope and hard to stand sometimes. I started with my Metal Detector and I was hitting knives and forks that were dropped from the restaurant up above also a few coins. I quickly decided that there was to much trash and it could be deeper than what my detector could find.
I changed to a headlight and started grid searching up and down the slope and looking in every crack & crevice. After approximately two hours, I caught a glint of what looked to be gold, about 15 inches down in a crevice. I carefully removed the top rocks and there it sat waiting to be found, and it was sitting right beside another crevice that it could’ve gone deeper and out of sight so I was very fortunate that it was there for me to find… I love my job!!!
