Gold Ring Lost While Landing A Fish In Stella, NC Found
Amanda was in the process of landing a 5.5 pound Black Drum off of her boat dock. Suddenly, the very sentimental ring that her mother gave her many years ago, slid off of her finger and bounced off of the dock and into the dark waters below. We agreed to meet the next day and after getting her account of the previous days events, I grabbed my gear and methodically panned the waters around then under the boat dock. I received 2 separate signals on my Minelab Excalibur II. I wiggled my way under the dock mindful these waters hold poisonous snakes and alligators. The area was tight and I used my Garrett pinpointer to scan the area the Excalibur report metal. I grasped a large handful of sand and mud and brought it to the surface. Amanda’s ring was now in my hand. She said it was the 3rd time this ring had been lost and found. She also said it will not be going fishing anymore, lol.
