Anna and her fiancee were relaxing by the pool and for safe keeping she rolled her diamond engagement ring in the corner of their towel on the lounge chair. And after a nice swim they decided to lay out in the sun and her fiancee grabbed the towel off the chair and Anna’s ring went flying through a safety fence and dropped into the pond water on the other side of the fence. Stunned, she just stood there not wanting to believe what had just happened! They asked the condo management if they could use the pool skimmer net and try and scrape the ring up off the bottom of the pond but their efforts were futile. The water was at least 7 foot deep and they soon realized that they needed specialized help and after a quick search on Google they came across theringfinders.com and decided to call Al Zenker, a member of theringfinders and he came out and gave them some advice, which was to call me as I am scuba certified and live fairly close by. So after hearing Austin and Anna’s story it was obvious that a dive was required so we made plans to meet up the next day.
Most all of the small ponds in central Florida are silty and mud covered bottoms that can be very difficult to navigate and search, especially when searching for such a small item like a ring…BUT…Anna was quite sure about where exactly her ring dropped into the water and that made it so much easier. I just wanted to test the pond bottom so I walked out from shore along the cement block wall/foundation and immediately noticed the bottom was sandy and gravel mixed, which would be 100% easier to search than the mud and silt I was anticipating! Plus the blocks were stacked pyramid style with out rebar and that too made it easier to search. As I slowly descended to the bottom I started getting signals…washers, pieces of copper wire, screws and then one large target that was quite deep. And at the end of each pass of my NOKTA Pulse Dive hand held pinpointer I would go all the way to the base of the block pool foundation and that is where I heard a nice repeatable signal that proved to be exactly what I was looking for! Anna’s lost diamond engagement ring was pushed right up against the block and when I surfaced and showed Anna what I had found, she started shaking! Her emotions were running high and the feelings of relief and thankfulness were so strong she had to sit down and calm herself and let reality sink in…she had her precious ring back once again! So I thank God for leading me and using me to help and bless others!

Rob gave me a call and asked if there was any way I could help him find his lost wedding ring. Apparently while herding some horses on a small ranch where he and his wife live and work, his ring slipped off of his finger and landed into the soft sandy Florida dirt. He was amazed at how fast it disappeared and even knowing about where it landed, his efforts to find his ring in the sandy soil were futile.
