I recently went out to a local beach to hunt for a 16yr. old girls pinky ring. The ring wasn’t an expensive ring but it was given to her by her father on her 16 birthday and she had lost it recently at the beach in the sand. The father had given me pretty good directions as to where it had been lost the day before so i headed out the next day. I made a grid twice the area of which the father had told me, but no luck finding the ring. what I did findout was that there was another detectorist searching that area of the beach the evening the ring was lost and he had probably found it. Hopefully if the ring was found by another detectoris, perhaps he will post it in the lost & found section of the local paper. There was no ring turned in to the beach authorities recently. I sent off an email to let the father know that I did my best but was unsuccessful.
Looking forward to my next hunt!
