On Tuesday, I got a call at about 10:31am…I did not get it. Around noon, I called the number back…no answer. Finally, at 12:30, Tyler called me. He said that he lost his white gold wedding band on the beach. I asked him if he thought it was in the water; he said no, he didn’t think so.
I arrived on the scene in Corolla a few hours later. Tyler was not sure when he lost the ring. He gave me a general area involving tossing a football near a stump in the water. The search area was about 30 yards long and just past a stump that was rapidly disappearing in the rising tide. I fired up the Deus ii and started at the water and worked up toward the parking area.
After I was convinced that I had covered the area, I began working the water. I was not prepared for a water search but went out about thigh-high. Nothing! The tide was rising too fast so we decided to come back tomorrow at low tide which would be around 12:30pm.
I arrived this time in swim shorts. The beach had grown by at least 30 yards toward the water! I started large sweeps to cover all the territory that I needed to. I took a minute to pray!
I continued and after just a few passes my hat slipped down. I stopped to adjust it and set my coil down on an area of sand that I had gone by. I got a bit signal as I lower the coil. When I had finished with my hat, I investigated the hit. Scoop one was nothing. Scoop two and I saw the ring shining in the sand.
I put the ring in my cupped hand and called Tyler over. I asked him if he would go over where he lost the ring again. As he did, I raised my left hand up with the ring, showing it to his wife Caroline and then bringing into his view. Happiness!
