Florida treasure hunter finds Winnipegger’s championship ring after hurricane
WINNIPEG — A treasure-hunter who hit the beaches of Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma found something that a Winnipegger lost about four years ago — a championship football ring.
Tom Shay says after beaches in his state reopened recently, his went on the hunt with his metal detector.
His search along the coast on the Gulf of Mexico eventually brought him to Sunset Beach on Treasure Island.
That’s where he dug up a championship ring from the Oak Park Raiders football team in Winnipeg.
