Boyne Mountain Snowmaker Finds Ring After 118-Foot Proposal Drop on SkyBridge

A metal detector search overnight led to the ring’s recovery for the couple.

Overview

  • Trevor Van Camp dropped the engagement ring through the SkyBridge grate during a proposal to Danielle Jenkins at Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls, Michigan.
  • Resort staff cleared the slope and provided metal detectors as the couple searched for about two and a half hours without success.
  • Night shift snowmaking supervisor Pat Harper later detected a signal and uncovered the ring’s edge from snow and dirt below the bridge.
  • The couple was preparing to replace the ring at Kay Jewelers when they were notified of the find, and Van Camp then placed it on Jenkins’ finger.
  • Boyne Mountain’s Instagram video of the mishap and recovery drew national coverage, and the couple says they plan to return to finish their SkyBridge walk.
