Lost Ring On Loborough lake. (FOUND)

  • from Kingston (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

After recieving a call from Bob, telling me he had lost his wedding ring which slipped off his finger, while putting his boat cover on his boat. He told me his ring slipped into the water which was only a few feet deep. The problem was the lake bottom was extremely soft and murky.

I did not hesitate to agree to help look for the ring, my worry was the lake bottom was too soft and the heavy gold ring could have sank deeper than my detector could detect it at.

As soon as I got to the location and stepped into the water I could understand what Bob was talking about, I sank knee deep into the muck. My initial thought was this could be a problem.

As I waded out towards the spot Bob thought he dropped his ring, it was getting harder to get my legs out of the much with each step. Thankful it was only 10 to 15 feet from the shore and the water was only 2 ft deep.

Getting stuck lol

It wasn’t long before I was able to get a strong repeting signal on my Deus2 and when I stuck my hand into the muck, I immediately felt the chunky ring in my hand.

I got out of the water slowly before I handed it to Bob who was so happy to get his ring back.

Here is a link to the video of the recovery. You will notice I tried to hide the find so I could record Bobs reaction lol.

Seattle Lake Union Lost Phone Recovery

  • from Mercer Island (Washington, United States)

Natalie had just completed a fun day of Hot Tub boating on Seattle’s Lake Union. When she got back to the boat slip, got out of the hot tub boat her phone fell into the water below the dock. She did a Google search and fond me through my listing on TheRingFinders. I came out the next day and recovered her Google Pixel 3 phone just past 20′ of water. Unfortunately the phone was full of water but she was prepared for this outcome and wanted her phone back for the insurance claim. During the recovery dive an older iPhone with some old bank cards and an ID were found. I am in the process of getting that returned to its owner as well.

Check out the dive recovery here:

Special thanks to https://www.hottubboats.com for allowing the recovery effort. If you get a chance check them out and tell them the SeattleRingHunter sent you over.

Cheers,

Lost Ring in Temecula, CA.. Swimming Hole.. Recovered

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)
Contact:

Friday, June 28..

I received a call from Brett asking me about The RingFinders and if I’d be able to search for a ring lost in a swimming hole out in the country.. He told me the water was no deeper than 5 ft., which is right at the limit before requiring diving gear. I told him that I’d be willing to give it a try hoping it would be in shallower water. His wife Natalie called me had with a few more details. Her daughter Amanda was wearing  her grandfather’s 55 year old wedding ring. While swingging from a rope swing over the water her friend threw a ball at her. Well, she tried to bat the ball away with her hand and the heavy ring went into the murky water.

We set up a meeting place for Sunday morning and took off for this secret swimming hole. It was about 12 miles out in the boondocks. A real pretty country swimming hole  including the rope swing. I was using my Excalibur Minelab waterproof detector and waded into the water. Amada and her friends were there and explained how it happened and the direction she hit the ball. Well, the water was up to my neck and retrieving the targets was next to impossible with my scoop. So, the guys offered to dive down to get the targets. I would put the handle of the scoop on the target and they would grab a hand full of sand.  After about 20 minutes we started finding fishing weights, coins and sunglasses. An hour or so later, the young guys took a break and Brett, Amanda’s dad took a few dives. It was looking like everybody was giving up hope.. Then I got a nice signal and told Brett we aren’t leaving until we recover this target..  He went down and came up with a big smile saying it’s a ring..  We had 20 or more onlookers and there were cheers and tears, also smiles. It was certainly a family affair with Mom setting it up, Dad making the great dive and all the friends helping. I could not of done it myself.. On my web page I say. « I’ll try anywhere » .. I’m starting to have second thoughts about that.. The search is a challenge, the real experience is meeting such nice people and being able to help them..
