LOST GOLD WEDDING RING IN RIVER NEAR BREVARD, NC….FOUND!!!
Received a call from this gentleman “3 month newlywed” saying he had lost his gold ring in the river while floating! I told him as soon as I get off work I’ll make the nearly 4 hour drive to rescue his ring.
I arrive at 5 pm and follow him to the spot. We parked and made a steep decent to the waters edge as we get to the bottom, he said “right here is where I think I lost it”, but he wanted me to start a little higher and work my way down just to make sure. Not a problem!
The water was 1-2 feet deep in spots and I didn’t have my goggles. It was moving pretty good and was colder than I expected. The river and the rocks held many challenges as I made my way down river trying to stay on the path he took, keep my balance, check every spot I could with the @XP deus II and the HF coil! ONLY WOULD’VE WORKED HERE!
After two lures and a signal I couldn’t get to, I get another hit while sitting on a mossy rock trying to find 3rd signal.
I held the pinpointer in my left hand and used my first two fingers. As I followed the vibration to the target, I made two swipes with my fingers and I felt the familiar feeling of a ring slide on my finger!!! It had been found!!!
It was a challenge, but I overcame and adapted to the conditions and not having all my gear!
