Last week I searched but was unfortunately unable to help a couple find their lost engagement ring at Santa Cruz Main Beach, but the very next day a bystander who saw me looking for the ring and actually spoke with me during the search lost her beautiful antique silver earring on Cowell’s Beach. The earring was part of a set including a necklace and had sentimental value as well. We talked through the details and due to the tides and tourist traffic agreed to meet on a Friday at 6:00 am on the beach where she suspected her earring was lost.
When we met she described the location that she sat in with her family and another location where she walked from, suspecting that the highest probability location was where she walked from and next where she sat on the beach next. We went to the highest probability location and within about 10 minutes I had a lone signal in the range that I suspected. I dug and sure enough found her earring only about 5 feet from where she suspected it was lost.
It’s great to have enough community recognition of the jewelry finding process that we can help people who are informed about how a search is done and what is needed to assist quickly and effectively.
