Snowmaker Finds Engagement Ring After 118-Foot Drop From Boyne Mountain SkyBridge

After a two-and-a-half-hour search, a night-shift supervisor used a metal detector to locate the buried ring.

Overview

  • Trevor Van Camp proposed to Danielle Jenkins on the Michigan resort's SkyBridge when the ring slipped through the grating into the snow below.
  • Boyne Mountain night-shift snowmaking supervisor Pat Harper brought metal detectors from his car and took over the search.
  • Harper said the detector had triggered dozens of false alarms before he dug into the snow and uncovered the ring.
  • The couple were packing up to buy a replacement at Kay Jewelers when they were notified the original had been found.
  • Jenkins said the mishap did not spoil the moment and the pair plan to return to complete their walk across the bridge.
