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.
