Rabbit Island Gold

September 30, 2019 by Prospector

A request came in from a lady in distress and her skeptical husband. The next day another hunt for a lost ring was arranged. Their story as it unfolds is continued below.

“Recently my 93-year-old mother visited us from Australia and gave me her wedding and engagement rings as a gift.   I put the engagement ring away but wore the wedding ring which seemed to fit quite well.

A couple of Sundays ago, and because the weather was so beautiful, we went for a walk down the beach at Rabbit Island.  We sat in the sand up past the high tide mark for a while before deciding to continue our walk.  I stood up and dusted the sand off, and the ring flew off my finger and landed somewhere in the sand.  We scrabbled around for ages before realising it was a lost cause and that it was gone for good.

Later on that evening I suddenly wondered if there was a metal detector in the Nelson region. Dean (from Mineforgold.co.nz) texted me and we arranged to meet the following day.  I was not hopeful that it would be found but he assured me if it was where I said it was, then he would find it.  I knew where to look and in less than a minute the ring was found!  I am very happy and grateful. Thank you Dean….the Detectorist to the Rescue!”
