Ahmed called me while I was heading home from a long afternoon of detecting in Lake Michigan. He had just realized that his “silver ruby” ring went missing while at Cherry Beach.
It was getting dark, but offered the option of heading up in about an hour.
We met at the parking lot, geared up and hit the beach. He was not sure when, where or how it was lost. He stated he’d help “bury a friend” in a big hole near where their towels were and also threw handfuls of sand at other friends in a few different directions. So, it turned into a mystery type hunt, fairly large area, but not too bad.
I covered the dry sand first, covering about twenty steps in the directions he’d tossed sand. Nothing there, so I entered the water, made a few passes where he’d also thrown sand towards. After finding an old pull ring, I got a nice high silver sounding signal and scooped that big gypsy style ring. He said it was his late father’s ring, that was handed down for him to wear.
