It was a hot summer day and I just got home from the beach when I got a call from a young lady who was very upset that she had lost he Native Carved Silver & Gold ring in the ocean. I asked her a few questions and found out that it was lost in high tide and well over my head in water.
I discussed the search and asked if I could meet her at the location so she could describe what happen and show me where she believed the ring was lost. When I got there she pointed out to the float dock and said it was near there where the ring had come off.
Now that I knew the area I checked my tide tool and it said that low tide was at 2am. I told her that I’d be back and search for her ring at night as the tide was going out. When I got there at 11am the tide was still too high. I searched the dry sand for a couple of hours and found some change and the usual amount of garbage. I went back into the water and it was still too deep??? Back to the dry sand and at 2 am still over my head. I checked my phone app for tide tool and it was set for la Jolla California not Vancouver Beaches! The low tide was at 10 am… so I went to my car and slept till 5:30 am got up and worked the tide as it was going out…I found the ring in waste deep water at around 8 am…
Great to be able to send her the picture and tell her that the ring was recovered! I did a little video about the search and unfortunately the young lady was camera shy…

Thank you for stopping by and posting!!
Chris,
You definitely got a laugh out of me when you told how you had the tide chart for La Jolla, CA., because I could see myself doing the same thing. Awesome ring, and great tenacity on your part.
Thanks Steve for the kind words…I have learned from my mistake as I slept in my car that night!
Yes what a bummer! I could have slept a bit more before the search! Good result and that’s all that matters!
Very nice, Chris! And the flyer got your info where it needed to be! Way to go!
Thanks Mike…Yes the flyer is good for sure! Hope you and your family are well.
