After dropping off Zach at the airport from my previous ring return, I got a call from Joe, who said that his wife had lost her ring at Mission Beach. He haden’t left the spot so I told him I’d be there in about 45 minutes. I headed home and grabbed my detector and made my way to the beach where they had been camped. When I arrived, I discovered that ring had been lost in the surf and the search area was quite large. The tide was going out so that helped some. After a couple of hours of gridding the area and no luck, Joe had to leave and meet his wife at the hotel and load the car up for their trip back home in Arizona. About 20 minutes after he left, I got the magic sound of a ring at the edge of the search area and came up with this beauty. A quick call and he headed back down the beach with lightning speed! The trip home will be a lot more pleasant now. A pleasure meeting you and thanks for the reward.
Beautiful looking ring… what a great smile, you sure made his day/year and his wife’s too!
Great work Mark. Sure is tough when the description of the search area is different than what you expect.
