I lost my wedding ring at the swimming beach on cedar lake at shroeder park. If anyone happens to find it, could you please e-mail me at [email protected]? I will offer a reward.

If your standing at the beach looking over the lake, it would be towards the left, near the end of the swimming area. Was only out about 5 or so yards from shore in shin to knee deep water. We all tried searching for it, but couldn't find it.

I already told the people at the office, in the event they find it while raking/cleaning the beach, but I thought I'd announce it here to in the chance someone may happen upon it.

I lost mine a few years ago at Beebe beach and I knew the area. The following day, I rented a metal detector and I bolted a small bucket at the end of a broom stick so I could scoop. I was able to go about 4 feet deep and I got the hit and was able to scoop it up. What saved me was the bucket bolted to the stick and that another person already came thru the beach with a metal detector and found all the other stuff.

It only took me about 30 minutes to find it. I would try that, especially if you know the area.

I would rent one or call this guy.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Minneapolis teacher was crushed when her brand new Tiffany engagement ring fell into Lake Minnetonka. A treasure hunter came to her rescue.

Adam Segar and Sara Stocco got engaged last month. KSTP-TV reports they were out boating on Lake Minnetonka recently when she took off the $7,000 ring to keep it from getting dirty as she applied sunscreen on Segar.

Stocco put the ring in her mouth, but it bounced out, hit the floor of the boat, and bounced into the water.

Word of the loss spread to Denny Geffre, who's been hunting treasures in lakes for 40 years. After three days of searching with scuba gear and a metal detector, he found the ring buried in three inches of sand. Stocco and Adam gave him a $750 reward.

Exactly why my ring is sized so it cant come off unless my finger, or a lot of skin does as well. My fishing partner has lost 2 wedding rings in the drink. No excuse for the 2nd.

I would say at $50 I would go buy a new one or just get a ring(Wifes name) tattoo on your finger. Lots of mechanics I have seen do this for safety reasons but they also never lose them.

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
