A few days ago I was Contacted by Chris about his wedding ring.

While at the beach with his daughter the day before, And getting ready to leave As he started to push the beach cart he felt his wedding ring slip off and bounce off his leg and disappear. I went out there asap but the beach became busier as the morning went on so after having to ask many people to move around which most of them did happily, I had no luck finding it. Chris only had one picture taken from the day before but the background was on an angle facing the water. It was a bit difficult to get into the right area. I decided it would be best to come back later that night. Chris and his wife were leaving that day so I assured him if I find it, I will hold onto it for him until he is back in the area. Later on that night I went back to re-search the whole area including the sections I could not do earlier. I began to study the photo more now that I had a clear line of sight. I determined he was set up closer to the high tide line than he initially showed me. I started to also search the top half of the slope. I got a somewhat faint but solid tone which tells me this target is deep. After a bit of digging sure enough, It's his ring! It was buried a foot deep! The waves during high tide combined with people stepping on it had buried it deeply. I sent Chris a photo and a little while later He replied. He was surprised about where I found it and that I found it in the first place, But very happy I found it! I will be meeting him this Friday to return it and get a picture! Persistence pays!
