Lost diamond ring in the grass, Tavares Florida, found by Florida ring finder Mike McInroe
This ring search began after Apple was playing with her little one on a grassy area behind the house and as she came inside she realized her diamond ring was not on her finger. The ring was loose on her finger and she had every intention to get a silicone ring adjuster to help make it a tighter fit on her finger…because she knew that sooner or later it would come off and she could loose it for ever! Thankfully she found my number and later that afternoon I met Apple and she explained where sh had played in the yard and where her ring would most likely be. I set out my plastic markers and began an over lapping grid search. Ten minutes later I decided to expand my search and after another 10 minutes I spotted her lost ring just laying on the sparsely covered grass area another 20 feet out past where she thought it would be. Apple was very relieved to have her lost ring back and hopefully she will purchase on of those simple silicone ring adjustors to help keep her precious ring secure and safely on her finger.

I was at work when I received a call from George inquiring about possibly recovering his family heirloom ring from his lagoon. We went over the details of when and how the ring was lost, and knowing the area quite well, decided it would be best if I swung by prior to committing to do the recovery. A few days later I met George at his house and after going over exactly what he did when the ring flew off into the lagoon, we decided with the 5′ tide swing this had to be done at low tide. The following week worked perfect with our schedules. My first attempt didn’t work out so well, it was blazing hot, the greenhead flies were eating us alive, and the mud on the bottom was black and bottomless. After about 2 hours I threw in the towel but assured him I would be returning for another attempt. I believe at that point George had given up hope of ever seeing his ring again. Over the next week or so our schedules didn’t work with the tide, so he agreed for me to swing by when conditions were right, whether he was home or not. WELL, after some adjustments to my recovery approach, and taking my assistant wife LEE, and good luck charm, the ring was in my scoop within 15 min. I knew this would mean the world to him, so I decided to do a surprise return, and set the whole thing up with his wife and son. I arrived just as they were getting back from fishing, put the ring in my scoop, and headed down the driveway where we met. We all talked a bit, I asked how they did fishing, then told him I did really well, and put my scoop out. He was kinda puzzled, and I said look in the bottom, and when he did, he could not believe his eyes. Then we let him in on the whole plan. I have the video of the return, just need to edit it, stay tuned. That moment right there is what makes doing recoveries so rewarding.
