I headed out this morning to search an older area of Lake Washington but all the roads were closed due to some kind of running/jogging event. So I heading north looking for another spot and everywhere I went was really crowded. I ended up hunting at a swimming area that I knew was hunted out. I figured maybe I could find a recent drop. I wasn't too thrilled about being there because I'd been there three weeks ago and got nothing.
I was hunting for about 45 minutes with no targets at all when a nice gentleman told me he had lost his platinum wedding band there 3 days ago. He described the ring and where he lost it so I started to grid the area out going back in forth covering every square inch. After about 45 minutes, I gave him my cell number and asked him to send me a text so I'd be able to contact him in case he wanted to leave. About a half hour later, I got a solid low-conductive tone in 3 feet of water. I looked down and saw the edge of ring half-buried on the bottom. The gentleman had moved with his family to another area of the park, so I continued to hunt. When I saw him a ways off waved my arms and he took off running to the beach.
He and his wife were absolutely thrilled to get the ring back! Sorry about the sideways pics!
