3 Lost Gold rings Recovered from the water, Lake Maxinkuckee, Culver, Indiana
Betsie messaged me late last night in regards to her 3 lost rings. She was playing catch with her son in the water, it was almost dark out. She said that as she was catching the football, she realized her rings had fallen off, in chest deep water. Her and her son frantically searched for the rings, with no luck finding any. She mentioned her son felt guilty, because they were playing catch and she had lost them doing so. Which made finding them even more important to me.
We made arrangements, although I had to work until 6am, I agreed to meet her at the location as early as I was able to. She showed me where they thought they were and I began searching. This spot is mostly target free, as it gets detected often, which was a concern, that someone else may get to them first.
After seraching the zone for like 20 minutes and seeing some craters, I was worried that maybe someone else had got them. I moved shallower than she described, did a pass and got a nice signal. ALso, had another signal near that, so likely it was the culprits. Gazing down at my search coil, I could see the edge of a ring, so I plucked that one with the scoop, then scooped the other. The second scoop was the main wedding ring, thankfully. Two down, one to go. Got another target signal just a foot away and scooped the wedding band ring also. The 3 rings all nice and close together made for a simple triple recovery today. She was thrilled and her husband likely was too.
What would 4 young men do after their Stockton State College track meet, that’s right, go to the beach to have some fun and cool down in the pristine Jersey Shore Ocean waters. Just prior to going into the water, Brendan removed his cherished cross and chain, and clasped it around the loop on his hat for safe keeping. After they got out of the water, it was placed back around his neck, and just a few moments later, his friend noticed the cross was missing. Luckily his friend Jackson had told his mom Brenda, who was very familiar with NJ Ring Finder stories, from some of the local pages. Brendan, Jackson, and Luke had searched for quite a while without any luck, and that’s when the call came in to me for HELP. I arrived on the Lavallette beach just a short while later, got all the details and searched the entire spot without any luck. After they assured me it must be right there, I turned my metal detectors sensitivity almost as high as it would go, and on the first pass I received a very faint but steady signal, which was in fact, Brendan’s beautiful cross. Another happy ending to a fantastic beach day.
June is a great time of year, weather is warming up, school is getting out for the summer, the beach scene is almost in full swing, graduations, prom, etc. That’s when Hailey had a horrible mishap. She was at the Jersey Shore for the weekend after the prom, enjoying the beach life, when her phone totally disappeared somehow, in the soft sugar sand of Seaside Park NJ. She reached out to me
