Lost Gold ring found in Bear lake Kalkaska county

I received a call from Kathleen, who said that her son had lost an irreplaceable ring in Bear Lake in Kalkaska County, MI.

Her son was playing volleyball in knee-deep water. The Gold ring was made from the gold wedding rings of his grandparents. They had the ring made once her son completed his goal of becoming an ordained minister.

I went to the location after dark due to drive time and other commitments. Kathleen told me they rented a metal detector but had no luck finding the ring.

I was in the water about 1 1/2 hours before finding the ring. When it wasn’t in the primary search area, I made the search area bigger, resulting in me finding the ring.

Kathleen sent me a picture of her son in the water with the rented detector.

 

Lost wedding ring found in Lake Michigan with a metal detector

This call started with a call from a local Detectorists asking for help locating a ring in 3 feet of water in Lake Michigan. He had been to the site twice already and couldn’t find the ring so he called me asking for help.

I called and talked to Laura to get some more information and then met up with DAVE that night after work. As I was setting up some snowplow steaks to make a grid pattern DAVE got a signal further to the south of his original search area. He was standing up in the water because the waves are about 2 1/2 foot high. He asked me to come over and examine the signal to see what it sounded like to me. Detector makes one tone for every target. I said it sounds good. I took two scoops to get it in my target pulled the ring out, handed it today for him to make the return to Laura.

 

Lost ring in Long Lake Grand Traverse County, Mi found with a metal detector.

  • from Traverse City (Michigan, United States)

I received a call from Dave about a sentimental ring lost in Long Lake in Grand Traverse County, Mi.

I knew from the story this is one ring I had to find. They thought the ring had flown off a finger by a sweeping motion with her hand.

I told Dave the ring is there, I would find it. The only issues are all the stuff in the water over the years to sort through.

I told him this could take 10 seconds or 10 hours. I did find a lot of stuff in the water. Old coins, matchbox cars, screws, bolts from the dock, washers, nuts, and a shotgun shell casing.

I searched the primary area they set out and did not find the ring. I then decided to search under the dock; after 2 hours of searching, I finally found the ring at the edge of the dock, making everybody very happy.

Lost ring at the Torch lake Sandbar returned to owner

This call is different than what I normally do.

I was at the torch lake sandbar and found a men’s wedding ring. I didn’t have a call to look for it I just found it on my own.

The ring had GPS coordinates inside the band. I drove to the location that was about 4 miles from the lake. I was greeted with a locked gate saying, « welcome your on camera. »  Well, that didn’t work, so time to figure out a plan B. I use an app on my phone called ON X hunt. I found the name of the owner of the property and then searched but could not come up with a phone number just an address 2 1/2 hours away from my house. I actually had to drive by the address when traveling for a family function a couple of weeks later.

I stopped at the location, and a woman answered the door. I asked her, « did your husband lose a ring at the torch lake sandbar? » She said no, but my son Sam did!
