LOST GOLD & DIAMOND RING FOUND & RETURNED AT HUNTINGTON BEACH
I got a text Sunday morning from Bill who told me he lost his gold and diamond wedding ring in the ocean on Saturday afternoon at Huntington Beach . I called him right away to get the details. He was visiting from New Jersey he was in the ocean with his wife about waist deep, when a wave knocked her off balance when she grabbed for his hand to avoid falling, his ring slipped off his finger and into the surf, another wave came along and covered up the ring which prevented him from retrieving it. After the whole family searched for the ring with no luck. He texted me. We arranged to meet at 6 am on Monday morning at low tide, with the best chances of finding the ring. I got up at 3 am, so I could get ready and leave early to beat the morning rush hour traffic. I arrived before 5 am. It was still dark out, but I walked onto the beach to the spot Bill had described and began my grid search. I hunted for almost 2 hours with no luck. I walked back to my car to grab my phone and touched base with Bill. He was only 20 minutes away, I waited in the parking lot till he arrived, when Bill and his wife met me in the parking lot, we walked out to the beach together, so they could narrow down the location of the loss. In less than 25 minutes, I got a good signal and dug 3 scoops and there was Bill’s sparkly gold ring. They were ecstatic to have the ring back with lots of emotion and hugs. They never thought they would see his ring again, but they entrusted me with the task. I was happy to come through for them. They were such incredibly nice people. I was happy to be able to reunite them with their sentimental wedding ring. They were so nice, they took me for a delicious breakfast before my long drive home.
