Lost White Gold Ring Underwater Found in Whitmore Lake Michigan
In The Shadows of The Seaweed
Cooling Off….Was the plan for Cliff and his daughter Tara. Setting up their chairs, they ended up being neck deep in the water once they settled in. The cool water and gentle swells felt like a million bucks. A few short breaks on shore to visit with family had them back in the water quickly. Towards evening Tara noticed her ring missing. Recalling that she was on shore playing with the dogs and even jet skiing had her heating up with worry as to what happened to the ring. When I arrived, there were brief rain showers. I started to grid search just past where they were sitting and got tons of junk signals. Scanning thru a few tall wispy plants poking up, nails, screws and jagged metal was being detected and removed. As heavier rain and lightning rolled in, I went on shore to check the ground where Tara was. Still no ring signal. A break in the clouds had me back in the water working my way closer to shore. Again, more junk was dug up. As I usually recheck the ground after removing junk, I rechecked this spot and got a clear good metal tone thru the headphones. Scraping thru the sand with my small pin pointer revealed her ring quite deep I’ll say. Holding the ring up for Cliff to see he just about fell out of his lawn chair to get into the water. He quickly called Tara who was overtaken with relief that her ring was found. Let the cool down begin.
In The Shadows of The Seaweed is a first in a new series of posts for recoveries made in/underwater dedicated to my turtle Frankie whom I and my friends had the pleasure of watching her dive for food and chase targets in her tank for 8 months. Very inspiring creature whose personality will always drive me harder to find those elusive underwater lost items.
We will miss her. RIP Frankie!
