Mattapoisett’s Newest Engagement !
I received a message on my phone from Caroline asking if I could help find an engagement ring that had been lost earlier in the morning. I returned her call with enthusiasm saying I was on my way forgetting it was the Fourth of July. Traffic was brutal but I made it in good time. We all quickly introduced ourselves and George her husband to be, proceeded to tell me how it was lost. He was proposing on one knee and when he opened the ring box that had a locking latch the ring was gone. I asked all the questions leading up to where he seen it last. Luckily he remembered it was in his pocket. So I think that when he pulled the box out of his pants he also brought the ring up with it and lost it in the sand.
They went and bought a detector but couldn’t find it after an hour or so.
I had Caroline stand where she thought it could be and George where he was kneeling. Julia there professional photographer was with us while I searched, she was documenting every step.
I started to grid the area, first pass two old bullets, second pass a piece of aluminum, third pass 20 feet away from where it was thought to be I got it. A beautiful Platinum 1.2 karat Diamond engagement ring.
After a few minutes of hooting and hollering. George redeemed himself and got down on his knee a proposed. Caroline said yes. It’s very rewarding to be able to be a small part of their special day. Congratulations to you Caroline and George. A special thank you to Julian for helping them document it. Sincerely Leighton
Sue lost her wedding ring set at Gulf Shores a couple day before calling me for help. She didn’t know where to go and it took a day or so to find someone who could help. I told her i would be there first thing in the morning. I met her where she and the family were staying and we walked to the beach area she thinks it was lost. She wasn’t sure how it was lost, where it might be or if it was even on the beach but felt hopefully it was on the beach. She talked about the day it was lost and her activities and locations. The house and car had been searched and it wasn’t there, so logicly it must on the way to the beach or somewhere on the beach. She showed me the various places they were on the beach and the routes to and from those various places. With that information I put together a search plan and proceeded. After about 30 minutes and after digging several other targets I got a very good signal and knew i found something good. I dug it and showed it to Sue who shouted you found it! She was very, very happily. I’m glad I found it for her, it made both our days.
