Ringfinder Darryl Mansfield Joins Rings

JD Firestone (JD the DJ) recently had the pleasure of providing the musical entertainment for Kevin and Kelly's wedding, where local ringfinder Darryl Mansfield answered their special request to officiate their ceremony.  Darryl has been a metal-detecting specialist for the past 24 years and has helped reunite people with their lost jewelry on countless occasions.  The gathering took place at Le Rivage Hotel by the Sacramento River.  Fortunately Darryl's detector skills were not needed this time as the exchange of vows and rings went smoothly!
