Harwich, MA Ring in the Sand, Found and returned by Richard

August 3, 2025 I was arriving at a beach for a search for a lost handmade ring for a woman named Amanda. As I pulled into the parking space I was aware of a woman looking a bit lost sitting in a depression in the beach’s dry sand. I was sure that had to be Amanda. As we started a conservation it was evident that the person was not Amanda. She told me that her name was Busra and she had been helping Amanda, who was around the corner of the sand dune. But why are you so sad for Amanda, I can find her ring. No, I thought that I could see how far her ring would sink into the sand if I dropped mine. And she had an hour or so ago. By now Amanda had shown up and was ready to have me search for her ring.

I took about 30 seconds before leaving Busra to scoop her ring from its sandy resting place and give it back to Busra. Then it was off to look for two, not one more ring. See Amanda’s blog on how that went.

As for Busra, she followed us around to the other side of the dune to watch me searching there. During the minute or so and for some time before I showed up at the beach the two women became close friends and I think their friendship will last a long time because of the entire ordeal of having lost a ring, helping each other find their ring(s) together and how they helped each other. I on the other hand am just grateful to three wonderful women: Elise, Amanda’s mother for passing the information about TheRingFinders.com onto her daughter, Amanda for contacting me and to Busra for making such a memory happen.
