So got a text from the wife of a guy that lost his platinum wedding ring at an AirBnB last November, just as the cold weather started coming in, I told her that sadly, I was done with water hunting for the season and that I could do it in late spring/early summer depending on the AirBnB schedule.
So a couple of weeks ago, I texted her and said I could do now that temperatures are rising. She responded and said she’d have to contact the owner of the house and get back with me.
We worked out a date and time for Sunday after 10:15 when the family checks out. I make the drive, review last years pictures and jump in the water to start my search. About an hour went by and I finally see a silvery/Platinum ring in my scoop!
I get out, take some pictures and send it to her, asking if this was “the ring!” She quickly replied back, “OMG, YES!” I said “send me your address and I’ll send you guys the ring!”
I sent this platinum ring to MD and the received it! It’s back where it belongs!!

We are extremely grateful to Shawn for finding my husband’s wedding ring in Lake Gaston and mailing it back to us!
Thank you for remembering our request from the fall and taking the initiative to reach out to us again as the water temperatures got warmer. We appreciate it so much!
Shawn is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. He’s the best person for the search!
Way to go Leatherneck!!
