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. 😃
