Ring recovery on Monterey Beach
Was able to help recover this 14k wedding ring, on Monterey Beach, Del Monte Beach yesterday. « Jessica » had been standing in the ebbing surf, with wet sandy hands. She felt her ring come off , in the surf’s edge, roiling ebbing foamy water. The sand and water immediately « swallow » the ring. So that when the water/wave pulls out: All they see is sand. No ring 🙁
A full day’s high tide came and went before we connected. She had the approx area to describe via text pix and map. And with a little study of the tide charts, was able to determine a probable parallel in the wet inter-tidal zone. After 14 other targets (pennies, pulltabs, etc….), the ring surfaced.
Glad to help. Your heirloom is safe in your family 🙂 Thanx for the tip.
