Monterey state beach Tag | The Ring Finders

Monterey state beach ring lost & found

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

The persons from the prior post , (last night’s hunt) were able to now give a little of the back-story.  Thank you for allowing me to add that to my page.    (And thank you to the R.F. website host/designer for bringing the people together ) Here it is :

« … My stepdad lost his ring while playing football on the beach. It wasn’t just any ring.. My mom had customized it and gave it to him a few years ago. My mom had been battling cancer, and she passed away earlier this month, so losing the ring was honestly devastating for our family. We only had an hour before sunset and we weren’t far from the shoreline! With the tide, the fading light, and such a huge beach, we honestly felt completely doomed and thought there was no chance we’d ever see it again…until I called you.

What you did for us means more than I can put into words. Thank you for taking the time, effort, and care to help find something so deeply sentimental and irreplaceable. You gave my stepdad a piece of her back, and we’ll never forget that.

We are beyond grateful for your kindness and for the work you do helping people recover things that mean so much to them. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts….. » 

Seaside beach / Monterey state beach, ring found

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

Fellow was tossing a football back & forth on the Seaside beach hotel (Monterey State beach).   The guy felt his ring fly off, in the direction he’d been tossing.  But couldn’t tell if it had gone straight down (at his feet area) versus « been launched afar ».  And since dry sand immediately swallows, it was immediately invisible, no matter where they looked.    After awhile, on their hands & knees, raking with their fingers, they found the Ringfinders directory.

 

I was able to be there within 20 minutes.  And within 5 minutes after that, Bingo !

 

Glad to help you folks.   You explained that this was a recently passed-down heirloom from your grandparents.   That made it all the more special !   And thanks for the tip.
