Recovery #454

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!

3 days ago I was contacted by Damaris about her Sapphire/Diamond Platinum engagement ring.

While at Brant Beach Lbi with her Fiancée' and Family she was enjoying herself by sitting in the shallow surf and relaxing until a much larger than usual wave came in and knocked her down and about the beach causing her ring to come off and disappear into the waves. I went out there for the next low tide to see if I could find it. Unfortunately it did not turn up in the area they thought it came off. Her family also went out there after to search with their metal detector as well. They also did not have any luck. I went back again the following night while also looking for another ring for someone else. This time I covered the whole area including the slope and dry sand just to be thorough. I then worked my way into the surf for a second time and moved nice and slow to make sure I didn't miss it. After about 3 hours of searching I finally heard the right kind of sound. Sure enough it was her ring! I surprised her later that morning with a picture while on the phone with her. She was so happy and relieved! I could hear and feel the joy in her voice! So happy I could help! Since she was out of town I met one of her family members (Holly) in order to return it to her.

A few days ago I was contacted by Ken. While he was at the beach with his grandchildren His college ring slipped off his finger and disappeared. He thought it might have come off where they were set up in the dry sand or during the walk out there. I met up with him that evening and searched both a large area where they were and the whole path back to the house. No luck. He then informed me he also went down to the water once during low tide to fill a water bucket for the kids. Since it was high tide at the time I was there I told him I would be back for the 4am low to search the slope down to the waters edge as I had to go to the south side of the island for another ring during low tide also. After I made a 1st attempt for the other ring with no luck I went back to continue looking for Ken's ring. I started a search on the slope and sure enough, Halfway down I found his ring! I met with him this morning as I had also went back for the other ring on the south side. He was very happy to have it back and is now going to have the sizing corrected. Another great day!
