I was referred to Amanda and her husband Jimmy by fellow ring finder Jeff Laag Also known as: https://www.facebook.com/LostRingJewelryRecoveryService. While Jeff is away on vacation I am helping him cover his usual areas of searches. While staying in Cape May for their vacation, On the very last full day they were enjoying some time in the ocean and they were both hit by a wave. Jimmy's wedding ring was knocked right off his finger. I spoke with Amanda and after gathering some more of the details from Jimmy, She then gave them to me. I assured her one of us would be out there asap to do a search. I decided I would be the one to make the 1-1/2hr trip to see if I can help. However, I did not tell them I was on my way. I decided to give it a try and hopefully be able to give them a nice surprise before they left town to head home in the afternoon.

Once I got there I went out to the beach and lined myself up with the focal point references Amanda gave me. I started to slowly grid down the slope as the tide went out until I worked my way into the water. After about an hour of searching in the crashing surf I got a nice loud solid tone. After a bit of a battle with the waves, I had Jimmy's wedding ring in my scoop! I walked back out to my car and called Amanda. While on the phone with her I sent her a surprise picture. They were shocked and soo happy I found it! They promptly came to meet me so I could return it. Vacation disaster averted! Another Happy ending!
