Gold and Diamonds and Saphires oh my!!! Found and Returned!......
Got a call to go search for a wedding set in a lake. Went there and looked 3 hours before work today. Didn't find it so I went to work. I went back tonight after dinner with my youngest daughter along to swim. After 2 more hours and still no ring I asked the lady to come out in the lake and get a better look from out there when she had lost it. I continued my grid and got a great mid tone. I said say a prayer this one sounds good! I seen it in the scoop and slipped it on my finger and held it up aand asked her ( does it look like this ) She started to hyper ventilate, cry, and hugs too! She was so happy to have her wedding set back just 4 days before her anniversary! Both are 14K white gold, and there are a total of 19 diamonds and 5 saphires. Once I settled her down, I told her
that her reaction is why I do this!

Nice story. Good going and...
Honorable Mention for sure!
Maybe it's time to stop not doing what you pretended you can do and can't, and start doing the thing that you can't do, but can no longer pretend that you can.

Congratulations on finding her ring Mike you did well man!

I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
the imprint of past lives often linger there.
I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
that the past is still very much a part of our today!

Way to go Mike. I have a new Tesoro Tiger Shark I am dying to play with in the water. I hope to do some freshwater hunting this summer. Glad you were able to get the rings back to her. Sweet reaction.
