Lost Ring Found at Seacliff State Beach
Today I got a text from Bo who asked for assistance finding a lost ring. I called him and learned that his brother Alex had lost his wedding ring while throwing a frisbee at the beach. He said his brother literally felt it slip off his finger. They were right at the water line when this happened so I was a bit concerned that the ocean could have carried it further out than where it first landed. I checked the tides and advised that I would be there in a couple hours during the upcoming slight low. I’m glad they called as soon as they lost it since it was likely that it could have gotten carried out to sea with another tide cycle.
I met Bo and Alex along with their family at water’s edge and they explained exactly where he threw the frisbee from and the direction that he threw it when his ring slipped off his finger. I started pursuing a tight overlapping grid in the precise location. The site was unusually clean for our local beaches. Within about 10 minutes and on my 4th or 5th pass I found the one and only target of the day – Alex’s ring!
It was great to help this appreciative family out.
