Lost Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered Wisconsin
Johnathan and his wife were out fishing on their pontoon early this spring. It was a beautiful sunny day and she decided to put on some sunscreen lotion. Making her hands really slippery. While casting towards a dock, she felt her wedding ring slip off, heard it hit the front of the pontoon and sink away into 10 feet of water. John searched locally for help and found a snorkeler. He dove down and could only see muck & sand. Rings & other valuables will quickly disappear into the muck and sand as their weight and water movement hides them almost immediately. After talking with local divers, he found one person who heard of a site called « theringfinders.com ». Saying they can help in these situations. John searched the site and contacted me. This was still early in the year and water temps are brutally cold. We discussed the situation and decided to wait a month or so for the search. John’s wife was worried that the ring would move from storms and or power boats going by. I assured her, the ring will stay exactly where you lost it, I have found rings that were lost 75 years ago in lakes, and they are always right where they were lost. The lake is 3 hours away from me, so we had to make sure we planned a nice warm sunny day for the search. We met at the boat launch, headed to the « spot » and John anchored us right on top of the lost ring, it only took me 10 minutes to recover. This is a beautiful white gold diamond engagement / wedding ring soldered together. Made from John’s late Mother’s ring, so this ring is a really important heirloom for both John and his wife.
It was great to meet you John and thanks for making my job easy – Anchoring right on top of that lost ring was perfect!!!
