Josh and Brittany were staying in Lotus Boutique Inn and Suites in Ormond Beach, Florida. Josh threw a football and immediately felt his ring fly off. They searched and searched in and around the pool with no luck. They thought the ring may have flown out into the powder dry sand on the beach just outside the pool, so they contacted Wes Wade who is President of the local Daytona Dig and Find Metal Detecting Club. Wes posted it online on July 15th.
I had just finished detecting in North Daytona and thought, “I haven’t heard of anyone finding that ring at Lotus and it was only about 3 miles north, so I thought I’d go check it out.
I located the venue and began a large sweep about 5 foot wide near the seawall. Nothing! I saw marks where it appeared someone had gridded it off. I decided to do another sweep of about 6 feet wide. Nothing but some trash items. I finally decide to do another sweep of about 6 feet.
In the middle, near the steps I got a good hit. But it was a 60 and sounded like a penny. I dug it and it was an older copper penny. When I went to cover the hole, something caught my eye. It was the diamonds of the ring that I was looking for on the outer edge of the hole.
I contacted Wes, who gave me the information and arranged for Josh to pick up his ring. Tears and happiness were evident when I called them…they picked it up a few days later.

Ed, I can’t thank you enough. I knew when I posted it to the Facebook page it was a long shot and then you came along and it didn’t take long at all to have his ring back on his finger. It’s his comfort zone and calms him during stress! Ed found it right in time for our 1st year anniversary! We greatly appreciate you Ed and you really go above and beyond! I feel it lifts your spirits to lift others and in such a positive way as wedding rings symbolize much more than just being a ring! Thank you Ed for everything!!!
