As so many visitors to Cape Cod were trying to catch a few more wonderful days at the beach before summer ends, Jared and his family were braving the rough waters when Jared’s wedding band slipped into the water something that had never happened before to Jared. Five days after that event Jared discovered TheRingFInders.com and contacted me. Within an hour I was ready to start a search. This was going to be a tough search and the area was very large and the water on the rough side. Three hours of searching and I was getting tired. The tide was coming in and the area that had the best possibility of holding the ring was beyond my reach. It was time to call it a day. I’d be back for the morning tide.
The morning of the 22nd was a start of a great day for detecting with light wind, smooth water and gentle breeze. Another 3 hours of detecting and the undetected area was getting smaller with each swing. I was about to call it quits and get a refreshing cup of coffee when a signal rang in my headphones. It was just one of those signals that whisper to you and say “Dig Me!”. And I did. It did not surprise me sto see a gold hiding in my scoop. What did surprise me was that I did not see the initials or date that was said to be on the inside of the ring. I call Jared to verify the inscription. Well within a couple of minutes Jared was on his knees in the shade of a house, squinting to find the initials and/or the date. The faintness of the inscription was soon verified by Norma, Jared’s wife. I was the one thanking King Neptune for not tricking me with a ring that I was not looking for, but rather giving up the precious one.
Stories, thanks and an “enjoy the rest of your vacation” and I was off to get a well deserved cup of coffee. Sylvia, Jared’s daughter, was also looking forward to an ice cream sandwich later in the day. Cape Cod has so much to offer, fun on the beach, water to play in and many very special treats. A true Vacation Land.

This was a perfect family vacation in Harwich Port, only marred only by the loss of the precious ring. Rick worked his magic to return the ring which now always will have a great story to make it even more special!
Thanks from Sylvia’s Grandma!
