Item recovered August 26, 2024. Chelsea reached out for help locating her ring after losing it during a water balloon fight in a field adjacent to a church. While helping as a camp counselor, Chelsea forgot to remove the ring and felt it fly off her hand as she was throwing water balloons. She had been back to the location to search, but didn’t have any luck locating the lost ring.
I arrived after work and waited for one of our classic Florida summertime thunderstorms to wind down before setting off into the field. Chelsea gave me the approximate area where she believed the ring was lost and I started a grid pattern in the area. 45 minutes later, there were some small metal items located, but no ring.
I changed directions by 90 degrees and went over the area a second time with no luck. About 90 minutes of searching and it was starting to get dark. I decided to expand the search area and continued until I hit a sweet sounding signal. It was the missing ring and Chelsea was overwhelmed with joy that her ring had been found!
The ring was located nearly 30-40 yards from where I was initially directed. It was a good lesson learned to never give up when at first you don’t succeed!
