Thanks to Michael Dewey, fellow Northern Nevadan Ring Finder, who connected me with this client.
Got a text at 6:30am requesting a water search for a lost gold wedding ring offshore at Kings Beach. At that moment I was just arriving at Creek Beach, on the east shore of Lake Tahoe, to begin an underwater search for a lost gold pendant.
Knowing that Kings Beach gets hit hard by metal detectorists every day, I switched gears and immediately started the climb back to the parking lot and drove over to Kings Beach. Once I arrived, the client—who was in waist deep water searching—came back to the beach and shared the when/how/where of his lost gold wedding ring.
I geared up and got into the water to begin the first grid sweep of a fairly large search area. Halfway out to the farthest point—a red buoy—I got a solid 72 on my XP Deus 2 metal detector. I can only wish all water recoveries were that fast. Usually they take hours and hours.
The client was very relieved and happy to have his wedding ring back on his finger.
