Gorgeous Diamond Ring Recovered At Oval Beach

Yesterday I received a call from Rachael, stating she had just lost her wedding ring in about waist-deep water at Oval Beach in Saugatuck.  She and Dylan were spending some time with relatives, relaxing and just being together after the crisis of losing their 31 year old cousin and attending the funeral a few days ago.  She simply couldn’t handle the loss of her ring after that other huge loss.  Anxious to help, Gregg Larabel and I arrived at the beach within an hour, and Dylan showed us where they thought we should look — an area of water about 30 feet by 40 feet.  I started searching straight down the center of that area, and in about 5 minutes I got a terrific signal that I knew had to be the ring.  A couple of scoops later and I had Rachael’s beautiful ring in my scoop.  Announcing the find brought Dylan, Rachael and a bunch of their relatives over to see the prize.  Their somber week had just turned into smiles and laughter for everybody.  These are the memories we strive for.
