Bachelorette Party Saved!!! – Found Ring

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

I SAVED THE BACHELORETTE PARTY!!! 😃

I never thought I’d get to say that, but that’s exactly what happened when Madeline called me yesterday with an emergency.

The girls had come back from a boat ride the evening before, and when they got to the house, they decided to run into the Gulf and do a big swan dive. Madeline got the dive down pat… but unfortunately, her class ring did not make it out of the Gulf with her!

It’s a University of Texas at Austin ring, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Needless to say, she certainly didn’t want to leave it behind.

Luckily, she called me the next morning. I came out and talked with her about where she thought she had entered the water, and with a full audience of bachelorettes watching from the beach, I began my search.

I started with a pass in the Gulf where I thought she might have first entered the water, but it wasn’t there. I then moved up onto the beach, searching the area where the waves were breaking, thinking she might have dropped it when she stood up and walked out.

Still nothing.

I began a deeper search, thinking the ring may have gone flying when she hit the water during her swan dive. At that point, I started to worry that she might not know exactly where she had entered the Gulf in the dark the night before.

But I needn’t have worried.

A few feet later, I heard that beautiful gold tone in my headphones. 🎯

With the entire bridal party watching from the beach, I gently scooped up her ring. One of the girls even said she could see it shining through my scoop from way up on the beach!

Everyone came rushing down the beach, cheering, and Madeline started to cry. Through the tears, she told me it was the “best day ever.” ❤️

Now THAT is a great review!

Thank you again, Madeline, for trusting me with something so special. I’m glad I was able to save the bachelorette party — and even happier that you got your ring back! 🧡

Special Ring Back Where It Belongs!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

This wonderful couple came all the way down from Indianapolis, Indiana, and called me after they lost a very special ring in the Gulf.

Years ago, they had their wedding bands made in Florence, Italy, from a single piece of gold. Now the rings were separated, with his lying somewhere on the bottom of the Gulf. I definitely had to get it back.

They thought it was probably about waist-deep, because the day before they had been throwing their son into the water and generally having a great time. When I arrived the next morning at the crack of dawn, that’s where I started my grid search.

I made quite a few slow passes, gradually working my way closer to the beach where he had walked out. I was almost ready to move into deeper water, assuming the ring had been thrown farther offshore, when I heard that sweet gold tone.

A couple of scoops later, I had this very special ring back where it belonged. ❤️

Thank you for trusting me with such a special piece of your family’s history. It was an honor to get ii back to you. ?

Stealth mode ring recovery!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

 

I almost didn’t post this story but I wanted to make sure y’all know I’ve been standing watch. This gentleman called from a town I cover and asked that I not share his name or take his picture. I can absolutely do a stealth mission when needed. It was pretty straightforward, his wife put her Diamond wedding band in the cup holder of her chair and when she shook out the sand, it went flying. A few minutes in ninja mode ? and I had it back to him. I got approval for a selfie and a pic of just the ring and I was gone like it never happened. ? Mission accomplished.

Lost Rings in Perdido – Found them all!!!

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)

I’m so glad Kristin called me. She was visiting Perdido with her family and had taken her rings off to put sunscreen on her son. A while later, as they were relaxing in their chairs, her son walked up and said, “Look at the ring I found, Mommy!”

Kristin’s heart dropped when she realized he was holding one of her rings.

They quickly marked off the area and gave me a call. I won’t dramatize this one too much—the walk from the parking lot took longer than it did to find the remaining rings. Even so, they were amazed, especially since they had already spent at least an hour searching on their own.

It pays to have a good starting point, a good machine, and a whole lot of experience.

Thanks for trusting me, Kristin! I hope this experience kindles your son’s treasure-hunting spirit even more. ?
